Chapter 680 Preparations before opening, Gaius’ business house

"System, sign in."

"The host signs in at an ordinary apartment and gets one magic point."

Aaron curled his lips in disgust, feeling that it was very necessary for him to find some efficient check-in locations.

The current situation reminded him of the hard days seven years ago, when a magic point would be broken in half and spent, and even refreshing the mall had to be prudent.

"System, how many magic points will you get if you sign in at Stark Tower?"

"Two magic points."

"What if you sign in at the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency?" After Aaron finished speaking, he couldn't help complaining in his heart: This name is really long.

"The same two magic points."

"Okay! It seems that the normal check-in point is not much higher."

Aaron sneered, and then took out the prophecy book from the magic circle, "Are there any prophecies today?"

"The gears of fate begin to turn as Tony Stark builds himself a new Ark reactor, but the old one will save his life in the near future."

"Ha! Interesting." Aaron said indifferently, "But it has nothing to do with me for the time being. My top priority is to live in this world."

Making money is the first priority, and he already has an idea on how to make money.

After all, he had experience opening a store, but this time he wanted to do something different.

call!

Aaron took a deep breath, then put on his backpack and walked out of the house with all his belongings.

First, he went to a motorcycle shop. With his handsome appearance, he bargained with the proprietress and successfully bought his first motorcycle for US$4,000.

Diamond black, black wheels, combat appearance and excellent texture.

The disadvantage is that it is not suitable for long-term riding and consumes more fuel.

But this is not a problem for Aaron at all. He has also learned the modification technology. The appearance can be more handsome. As for the inner...

Make magic changes! One of his side jobs is that of an alchemist.

It uses the ancient fire of Gublai as the energy source, and then adds runes to each component to add functions, such as speed, shock absorption, comfort, defense, attack and flight... forget about flying, it is too conspicuous.

Afterwards he went to a supermarket and bought a cauldron, a crystal ball, a first aid kit and parchment.

There are no magical animals and plants in this world, and most of the materials needed to brew magic potions are unavailable. Aaron can only settle for the next best thing and try using ordinary materials instead of magical animal and plant raw materials. This can be regarded as a disguised modification of magic. The medicine is formulated.

After shipping everything home, Aaron's funds shrank again, leaving him with less than $6,000.

"I never thought I would have to worry about money one day!" Looking at the balance on the card, Aaron laughed to himself and divided the money into two parts.

Two-thirds are used to rent the shop, and the remaining one-third is used for decoration.

But he has to find a place with a suitable price and location first, before his rent is due this month.

During this period, the motorcycle can be modified and the formula of the magic potion can be modified.

......

"The eleventh day, the thirty-seventh test, version two point zero."

Stark stood in the basement of the Ocean View Villa with a brand new Ark reactor on his chest and half-finished robotic arms on his legs.

In front of him is a robotic arm holding a camera, and behind him is a fire-fighting robot.

"Benben is still a firefighter." Stark said to the fire-extinguishing robot, and then changed the subject, "But if you dare to spray me again, and I don't catch fire, I will donate you to the city university."

"Okay." Stark adjusted his breathing, flattened his hands, palms facing the ground, "Smoothly, start with only one percent of the total thrust.

Ready, three, two, one. "

As he finished speaking, the machines on his hands and feet turned on at the same time, releasing powerful pulses.

And he himself was floating in mid-air under the influence of this thrust.

A few seconds later, he landed smoothly, and the propellers in his legs sparked a few sparks on the ground. 'Benben' immediately aimed the fire extinguisher at Stark.

“Don’t keep pointing that thing at me, like I’m going to catch on fire at any moment.

Just relax, it's not too late to take action if something goes wrong. "

'Benben' pressed the fire extinguisher, and Stark started a new round of tests, "Now adjust the thrust to 25%."

This time it's not just floating. He can fly slowly in mid-air and simply adjust his direction.

After floating around the basement, Stark landed on the ground again, "I can fly."

After the test was completed, several robotic arms delivered corresponding accessories. A set of pure silver steel armor covered his whole body, officially completing his first outfit.

"Jarvis, are you there?"

"What's the matter, sir?" the artificial intelligence Jarvis responded.

"Switch on the alarm display."

"clear."

"Import all selected programs from the system."

"Yes, sir."

Inside the armor, Stark saw enough data analysis through artificial intelligence, "How's it going?"

"I've finished importing the files and the lines are ready."

"The virtual inspection will begin next."

“Reset priorities and calibrate working conditions.”

"Inspect all control surfaces."

"Yes, sir."

"The test is completed, ready to turn off the power and start data analysis."

"Let's do this, check the weather and air traffic control first, and start listening to ground control signals."

"Sir, I seriously object. There is a huge amount of data that has not been analyzed."

"Jarvis." Stark's tone was a little more impatient, "Sometimes you have to be forward-thinking when doing things.

Ok? Three, two, one. "

The armor slowly rose into the air, drawing an arc amidst Stark's cheers.

Flying out of the basement at super speed, Stark flew straight into the night sky, and surprisingly tested the data of the armor.

He had flown in the air once before, but in Afghanistan, and it failed, parabolically hitting a sand dune.

After flying around the city, he set his sights on the moon hanging in the night sky.

"Look at how capable it is. What is the record of the SR-71 Blackbird?"

"The SR-71 Blackbird's top record is eighty-five thousand feet, sir."

"Records are meant to be broken, right!" Stark shouted, launching a challenge to the sky.

The armor was pushed to full thrust, getting further and further away from the ground, but a layer of white frost gradually formed on the surface of the armor.

"Sir, ice at high altitudes can cause major accidents." Jarvis reminded.

"Go on, go higher." Stark was in high spirits, and he didn't care about the ice at all.

After flying for a few more seconds, a thick layer of ice formed on the armor, the thrust system failed, Jarvis was forced to cut off contact, and Stark was forced to start a free fall.

Falling from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, if it hits the ground, even if it is protected by a armor, he will definitely not be able to get rid of it.

Fortunately, when he was about to have close contact with the earth, he broke the ice, and the armor regained its power and flew above the sea view villa.

"Shut down."

boom!

The armor smashed through the ceiling, crashed through several floors, and finally stopped in the basement.

The starting point was exciting, the landing point was a little awkward, but Stark was full of excitement.

After the test just now, Mark 2.0 is very successful and can be put into use as long as the icing problem is solved.

Flying is a human's dream, and what he just played was not ordinary fun and exciting.

It just hurt my head a little from the collision, so I had to put an ice pack on it.

Taking off his armor, Stark put on an ice pack and walked to the studio.

He picked up a cup of coffee and was about to drink it when he saw the carton sent by Pepper.

Stark paused slightly, put down the coffee cup, and opened the carton.

Inside is the Ark reactor he used before, the first model, but the energy is much worse than the one he is using now.

Potts cleaned and packaged it and placed it in a glass box with a line of text on it: This thing proves that Tony Stark has a heart.

......

Hell's Kitchen.

Aaron rode the modified motorcycle and stopped in front of a house.

After investigating for more than half a month, he reluctantly found a suitable store among thousands of rental notices.

Two floors plus a large basement.

The second floor is the living area, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room. The first floor is the reception area, conference room and office.

The space is large enough, there is a lot of traffic, the equipment and appliances are complete, and the most important thing is that it can be modified.

The rent was a little more expensive, five thousand dollars a month, one thousand dollars more than he expected. Water, electricity and gas had to be calculated separately.

But he really liked this place, so he spent all his money renting it for a month and renovated the first floor according to his own ideas.

The conference room and office were removed, transformed into a simple restaurant, and divided into multiple functional areas, although there is nothing yet.

Looking at the signboard 'Gaius' Pepsi House' on the door, Aaron felt slightly excited.

Just opening his wallet and seeing less than five hundred US dollars left in it made his excited heart cool down a lot.

"Money is something external to the body. You are Gaius, and it only takes a matter of minutes to make money." Aaron secretly encouraged himself, and at the same time prepared a way out.

When you really have no money, you can rob the rich and give to the poor, as long as your identity is not exposed.

After all, the world is still very chaotic. There is no shortage of evil people, and there is no shortage of evil people to rob.

He was sure that those who robbed evil people would never call the police.

After opening the door, Aaron took care of his belongings. Shenglong and Phoenix were also excited about moving to a new home and ran around happily in the house.

"You two, please calm down." Aaron said speechlessly, "If you are too naughty, don't blame me for not letting you eat."

The dragon and the phoenix immediately stood up obediently, their eyes full of devotion to the food.

"You, stand over there, it's normal." Aaron pointed at Fox, and then pointed at the branch stand he bought for him some time ago.

Fox chirped, flapped his wings and stood up.

This 'bird stand' was inferior to the one in the principal's office and could not withstand the flames of the phoenix. For this reason, Aaron specially enchanted it.

"This is my kingdom!" Aaron hugged Abe and sat on the black leather sofa. "It's a little shabby, but it's only temporary."

Ding Dong!

At this time, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Aaron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Opening the door, two familiar people stood outside, Tony Stark wearing sunglasses and his secretary Pepper Potts.

"Are you surprised to see us?" Stark teased.

"There are some." Aaron invited the two of them in, "My place hasn't officially opened yet?"

"Then you should really feel honored. It's unique to have a billionaire come to support your small store in person.

But the media doesn’t know about it, so they can’t promote it to you. "Stark said lightly while looking at the decoration in the store.

"Maybe! But I didn't invite you.

Also, how do you know what I'm doing? "

"I've been asking Potts to keep an eye on you, and I know you're moving today." Stark said very frankly, "But that's not important. I saw the sign outside, Pepsi House? What does it do specifically?"

"That's a good question." Aaron introduced with some pride, "Currently there are only three main projects: catering, massage, and divination. We will expand to other businesses later."

"Divination?"

"massage?"

Stark and Potts looked at each other, "You can do this again?"

"I know a lot and can make a lot of money, but there are relatively few people who can make money easily." Aaron explained helplessly.

"Then I have to experience it." Stark asked with a smile, "Do you mind?"

"Customers are God!" Aaron shrugged, "The reason why I didn't kick you out is just because I really have no money now."

Stark's mouth twitched, "You're so honest, then here's your chance to make a lot of money."

"I think so."

"Divination." Stark said with interest, "Do you use tarot cards?"

"As a fortune teller, I am better at crystal balls."

"Massage." Potts interrupted, "Tony... needs to relax, but can you really do that?"

"Miss Potts, you can completely trust my character."

"Pepper, why don't you do some divination first?"

"You need to relax." Potts looked at Stark seriously and said.

"Okay!" Stark looked at Aaron, "Should I lie down?"

"of course."

Stark looked around and said with a forced smile, "You won't let me get on the sofa!"

"That's not the case, come with me!" Aaron smiled mysteriously and made a polite gesture of invitation.

Stark and Potts followed him around a corner and entered a compartment of only twenty square meters. A human-shaped green cactus was placed in the middle, and there was nothing else.

"It's five hundred dollars a trip, I guarantee it's worth it."

"This is outrageous." Potts swallowed in disbelief, "This must be a cactus!"

"Acupuncture cactus, I got it with great difficulty (fifty delicious points, it costs half a million US dollars according to the exchange ratio)

As the first customer, I can give you a free trial. Aaron laughed, and then suddenly pushed Potts up.

Stark instinctively wanted to stop him, but Aaron's movements were too fast. He could only watch in horror as his secretary fell toward the acupuncture bed.
