Chapter 12 Who is the wisdom of mortals?

When Leon entered the laboratory, he found that there was nothing special except a few Ark reactors and a stack of DC comics on Tony's desk.

Even Tony isn't here.

"Tony?" He looked around. "Where are you?"

Leon's super hearing isn't always on.

Just like Superman in the movies.

He has to concentrate and let his brain block out most external information in order to live in a quiet world.

When he got no response, Leon tilted his ear slightly, looking for Tony's movements: "So it's in the garage, but why does it sound a bit noisy?"

When Leon found Tony in the basement.

He had dark circles under his eyes, but he looked very energetic.

He was wearing mechanical shoes with exposed wires, holding controllers in both hands, and directing those "little assistants".

"Stupid, you continue to record the video. Daidai, you move over there. Right over there. You are responsible for putting out the fire."

Then Tony stood in the center of his makeshift experimental platform and took a few deep breaths.

"Okay, let's try it. First, activate 10% of the thrust and prepare for takeoff. Huh..."

Tony shook his shoulders and took a deep breath to adjust his condition: "Come on, three, two, one!"

He pressed the control device in his hand, and a powerful jet of flame suddenly spurted out from the iron shoes under his feet.

laugh! !

The violent thrust sent Tony flying into the air.

Then it hit the ceiling heavily with a thud, and it was obviously a pretty serious hit.

"Oh!!" Tony screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

The intelligent robotic arm nearby determined that the situation met the instructions and immediately released the fire spray.

"Oh that must be painful." Leon sighed as he looked at Tony who was covered in white spray and tilted his head back.

"Leon?" Tony turned his head when he heard the voice, his cheeks squeezed together in pain, and he twisted his shoulders on the ground, "Come and help me, I'm afraid my ribs are going to be broken."

"Here it comes... Maybe next time you can ask Daidai to prepare a crash pad for you." Leon stepped forward and lifted Tony onto the chair.

He glanced up and down and said, "Very good, it's just a superficial injury. You can continue to do the extreme exercise you just did."

"That's not an extreme sport." Tony rolled his eyes, "That's me making the Mark II armor!"

"You mean your second set of armor is this pair of shoes? Do you want others to shoot at your shoes? Don't joke, these shoes are not Captain America's shield." Leon teased.

"Of course not! I am currently experimenting with the propulsion system. Once this step is completed, the efficiency will be greatly improved."

Tony immediately retorted, not forgetting to mock: "Of course, ordinary people like you with average grades basically can't understand the logic here."

Now it was Leon’s turn to roll his eyes: “After all, I was admitted to Columbia University. Do you have some misunderstandings about ordinary people?”

"Oh? Really? There's nothing I can do about it. When I was your age, I had already graduated from MIT many years ago and had three doctorates from Cambridge. I really can't understand the feelings of ordinary people."

Tony waved his hands cockily: "But they should be similar. When you go to Columbia, you will find that your teachers can't understand my armor either."

"Well, I'm sorry, but my university major is business, and my teacher can probably understand the economic benefits of your armor."

Before Leon had his awakened abilities, he could only develop in the direction of managing a company, so he naturally applied for a business major in college.

But now it's different.

He knocked on Tony's iron shoes: "Besides, the past was the past, and the present is the present. Don't forget what kind of ability I awakened."

"Ability, what ability? Isn't it just getting stronger by basking in the sun?" Tony wondered.

"It's Superman's ability!" Leon emphasized, "I have everything Superman has!"

"So? Are you going to confess to me that you are actually a Kryptonian? Yesterday, your Kryptonian father who has become a super artificial intelligence came to your house and asked you to put on red shorts and save the world?"

Tony said with an exaggerated expression: "Or did your Kryptonian cousin receive a signal from the spacecraft and come to arrest you tomorrow, so you come to me for help now?"

Leon was speechless: "Tony, when did you have so many childish guesses? Of course I am from Earth. You took me for medical examinations so many times when I was a child, and you still don't know?"

Leon is undoubtedly an Earthling.

Nineteen years ago.

He traveled to this world as a baby.

By chance, he was adopted by the Starks.

Although I have no memory before the age of one, I don’t know whether I have biological parents in this life.

But his appearance was not much different from his previous life, and his blood tests had never shown any unexpected results since he was a child.

All of these prove that he is a native of Earth.

"Also, you've been reading too many DC comics recently! There's no DC darkness in our world!" Leon complained.

"So what do you want to say?" Tony tilted his head.

"I mean, Superman has a super brain, and I have the same thing."

The super brain will enable him to achieve more in engineering and even reach the top very easily.

Leon pointed at the iron shoes and said, "So now I can fully understand your research, and even surpass you."

"Surpass me?" Tony raised his chin directly, "Leon, this year's April Fool's Day has passed, you can save this cold joke for next year."

He rolled his eyes: "And I don't remember Superman having this ability. If he has a super brain, would he always rush up and punch his enemies in the comics?"

Leon smacked his lips. “Maybe… his super brain told him that he should learn to trust his super power before facing difficulties?”

"That's just a reckless brain, isn't it?" Tony concluded. "So you still don't understand my suit."

Leon didn’t want to argue anymore: “Stop it! This meaningless argument ends here! People like you who only read half of the comics are the most annoying. Go finish reading Superman’s comics before you refute me!”

Without waiting for Tony to argue.

He said directly: "You, a mortal with wisdom, since you say that I can't understand your armor, do you dare to let me learn from you?"

Leon raised a finger: "It only takes one day, and your knowledge will become my knowledge."

"And in three days, I will create a better armor than yours!"

"What did you say?"

Now Tony is no longer sleepy.

What he can't stand the most is others' provocation in his professional field.

Especially when the provocation came from his stupid little brother.

"That's literally the funniest joke I heard in 2008."

It was as if the pain in his chest disappeared in an instant. Tony jumped off the bed and looked directly into Leon's eyes.

"I accept your challenge."

He issued a victory declaration: "Mortal wisdom? Hmm? I will return this title to you in three days."

"follow me."

He waved his hand, returned to the experimental site, and began to command the intelligent robotic arm.

"Daidai, go clean up the site. Benben, go get the materials. Everyone else, wait for me to design a new jet structure."

Leon narrowed his eyes and looked at Tony in front of him, who was full of fighting spirit, and the desire to win in his heart also burned.

"JARVIS, send all the knowledge related to exoskeleton armor to my Stark Pad. I need to understand Tony's design drawings within half an hour."

"Okay, Master Lyon." Jarvis agreed first.

Then it asked again: "But, Master Leon, do you still remember the purpose of your visit to Tony and Ms. Pepper's previous request?"

"Pepper? What's wrong with Pepper? Leave it alone for now."

Leon twisted his arm: "Today I will let Tony know what a super brain is."
