“Strange masked men appear on the streets of New York, fighting bank robbers.” - New York Times.

"An early Halloween farce? A crude costumed weirdo!" - The Daily Bugle.

The appearance of Spider-Man has unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the media. This fledgling superhero has successfully appeared on the pages of major media in New York with his weird appearance. Of course, most of the media did not leave much The good things said, especially the Daily Bugle, criticized the little spider as worthless from beginning to end.

One can get a glimpse of his "little insect black" attitude from the early days.

"Peter, what happened?"

"It's nothing, Auntie, I just accidentally fell off the bed."

"Be careful."

"Got it." After responding to his aunt May Parker on the first floor, Peter turned his head and glanced at the ironic headline in the Daily Bugle in his hand. He gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind to reform his life. uniform.

In the antique shop, Li Ran looked at the legend that jumped every once in a while on the data panel with an indifferent expression.

In fact, Little Spider was not the only one who appeared in the newspapers, Steel Stick Jielu also appeared in the media reports. Firstly, in the chaotic scene at that time, the scene of the steel rod blocking the bullet was not seen by many people. Secondly, in terms of topicality, [Jie Lu] holding the steel rod obviously cannot be compared with the weirdly dressed little spider. Compare.

Therefore, although the media has reported it, it has only been mentioned in one sentence, and it has not attracted as much attention as Xiaochong.

Regarding this, Li Ran's mood was both regretful and fortunate.

The regret is that if it is really widely reported, Li Ran will undoubtedly gain a lot of legend. Even if the legend gained through media dissemination is not as much as what is actually seen, after all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Cumulatively, It’s also a huge legendary figure.

Of course, if things really develop like this.

With [Jie Lu]'s identity, he definitely wouldn't be able to stay quietly in front of Stark Industries.

After all, the reason why Li Ran arranged for the clone [Jie Lu] to go to Stark Industries to drive a food truck was not only for daily visits to Tony, but also for surveillance purposes. As the future Iron Man, Tony himself is a part of most major battles. Keeping an eye on Tony can help Li Ran understand the direction of most future events. It also allows him to prepare in advance and lay the groundwork to harvest the legend. .

After all, compared to the Hulk who is still on the run, or Captain America who is still lying in the Arctic spaceship, or even Thor who is far away in Asgard and has not even touched the edge of the earth.

Tony can be regarded as the most high-profile among the Avengers, although in the future he will suffer a lot because of his excessive high-profile.

But from Li Ran's perspective, such a high profile just helps him observe the layout secretly.

…

It's night, inside a camp in Afghanistan.

Obadiah emerged surrounded with guns and ammunition.

"welcome."

The man with burns on his face stepped forward, noticed Obadiah's gaze, and pointed to the wound on his face: "This is the gift left to me by Mr. Tony Stark."

"If you had killed him according to my plan, you wouldn't have burned your face." Obadiah frowned and said involuntarily.

"The money you gave us is not enough to buy Tony Stark's life."

Shaking his head, the man replied with a cold face.

"Let me see that weapon you mentioned.

"

Realizing that there was no point in continuing to talk about this matter, Obadiah immediately spoke instead. He took the risk and came to Afghanistan not to quarrel with the other party. A few days ago, a mysterious Iron Man suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the Middle East and successfully defeated the local militants.

"Come on, but your people must stay outside."

Waving to the bodyguard behind him to stay outside, Obadiah straightened his clothes and followed the man into the tent without hesitation.

Immediately, he noticed the steel armor in the center. Although the shape of this suit was quite rough, Obadiah immediately connected it with the armor that appeared in the Middle East a few days ago.

"This is another gift from Mr. Tony Stark's escape, a masterpiece of death."

…

"Tony."

New York, cliff house, basement.

Pepper found Tony Stark adjusting his armor.

"Are you busy? Can you do something for me?" Hearing Pepper's voice, Tony stood up and took out the equipment he had prepared: "I want you to go to my office and hack into the host computer. , get all the recent shipping lists, this is the lock chip that allows you to hack in... probably in the executable file, or else on top of the ghost drive, in which case you have to check the title..."

Reaching out to take the chip, Pepper looked at Tony in front of him and asked with a worried look: "What will you do if I get these data back?"

"It's still the same thing." Turning around and continuing to adjust the armor, Tony replied: "They are operating in secret. I want to stop them, find those weapons, and destroy them."

"Tony, you know I'm willing to do anything for you, but if you let your own temper run your course, I can't help you anymore."

"I just want you to do this one thing for me, is it so difficult?!"

The experiences he had experienced during this period of time seemed to have made Tony's mood extremely unstable, and he couldn't help but yell at Pepper.

"Okay, then I'll resign."

Raising her hand and putting down the chip in her hand, Pepper replied.

"For so many years, you have been by my side watching me reap benefits through destruction. Now I have changed my mind and want to protect those who are in danger because of me, but you want to leave?"

"You will kill your own Tony." Pepper stopped and said to Tony.

During this period of time, Stark Industries has been on the brink of crisis due to Tony's various actions.

"I should have died a long time ago. The reason why I can survive is unless there is a special meaning in it. I am not crazy Pepper. I finally know what I should do now. So, Pepper, help me. please."

Facing Tony's request, Pepper struggled with the expression on his face for a long time before hesitatingly picking up the chip again: "I hope you won't lie to me again this time."

"Thank you, Pepper."
