" I don't quite understand, this..." Faced with Tony's strange request, Pepper was very confused. If she did not have a good impression of Tony, she would have long regarded him as a pervert.
"Let me see." Fortunately, at the critical moment, Tony still remembered the domineering CEO routine he had learned online last night. As soon as he spoke in a low and magnetic voice, Pepper finally shyly placed her palm on Tony's outstretched hand.
"Exquisite, small and exquisite." " I need your help with something," Tony said in a serious manner.”
After saying that, Tony's actions became more and more like a hooligan. He took off his T-shirt and revealed the ark reactor on his chest.
"OMG, is this what you use to sustain life?”Pepper asked incredulously.
"It used to be, but now it's an antique.”As he spoke, Tony took out a brand new ark reactor from the workbench. Pepper could see with her naked eye that this one was more exquisitely crafted than the old one, both in terms of material and craftsmanship. "This will sustain my life for some time in the future. I want to change into this upgraded version, but I've encountered some obstacles.”
"Obstacles? What do you mean?" Pepper knew that this obstacle was probably something that needed her help, but she still needed to know what it was.
"It's not a big deal. It's just a small problem.”Tony tapped the reactor in front of his chest with his finger." There's an exposed wire under this device that touched the tank wall and caused a short circuit.”
Hearing this, Pepper looked at Tony in surprise. Tony waved his hand and explained,""It's alright."
"Then how do you need me to help you?"
Hearing Pepper's words, Tony knew that the next thing should be settled. Pepper was willing to help him. He laid down on a chair and attached a few poles to his chest. Then, under Pepper's panicked gaze, he pulled out the ark reactor on his chest. "Don't worry, help me put this on the table over there. It's useless now.”
"Oh my god!" Pepper carefully took the replaced reactor and placed it on the table.
"Now I want you to reach in and pull the wire out gently.”
"Is this safe?" Pepper asked worriedly.
"It should be fine. It's just like a surgery game. Just don't let the wires touch the wall of the slot, or it will make a beeping sound.”
"What surgery game?" The nervous Pepper could no longer grasp Tony's humor.
"Alright, forget about the game. It's okay. Take out the string gently. Are you ready?”
“OK!”Pepper slowly reached her hand out to the edge of the tank wall, then pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted." You know, I don't think I'm up to this. Maybe you should let the module help you.”
Tony looked into her eyes and said seriously,""You can do it. You're the most qualified and trustworthy person I know. You'll do a great job.
Am I asking too much? Because I really need your help.”
Tony had used all sorts of methods. First, he comforted her affectionately to win her favor, then he exposed his weak side to gain her sympathy. Pepper nodded and agreed under Tony's most liked pursuit routine on the Internet.
"Alright, I'll help you." Gathering her courage, Pepper once again reached out to Tony's chest.
"Oh, there's pus inside!" Pepper had a look of disgust on her face, and her facial features were almost wrinkled into a bun. "Now I know why you didn't let Ma Ke help. He would definitely refuse.”
"No, no, no. That's not pus. It's the organic protoplasma released by the device, not secreted by my body.”Tony said stubbornly. "Besides, Ma Ke stayed up late last night. He can't do such delicate work.”
Mark, who had been watching the progress of the two people outside the door, curled his lips in disdain." A man's mouth is a liar! No, Tony's mouth was a liar!”
"It stinks!" Although Tony forcefully explained, the unpleasant smell still made Pepper complain.
" Yeah, it does smell a little..." Tony responded awkwardly and could only quickly change the topic." Copper wire, did you find that copper wire?"”
"I touched it!"
"Did you touch it? Okay, make sure you don't touch the wall when you pull it out. Oh!" The pain caused by the short circuit made Tony cry out," I emphasized this to you before.”
"I'm sorry." After the small incident just now, Pepper's face was already pale. She could only close her eyes and continue the mission.
" It doesn't matter. When you pull it out, be careful not to pull out the electromagnetic coil at the end…" Looking at the electromagnetic coil that was already shaking in front of him, he said," Okay, you've pulled it out.”
" Oh my god, I didn't expect…" Pepper opened her eyes. She was even more flustered when she saw this scene. She was so anxious that she wanted to put the thing she pulled out back.
"Don't put it back!" Tony quickly stopped her.
"What should I do now? What's wrong with you?" Seeing Tony's physical condition change, Pepper really wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I'm fine. It's just that my heart is about to stop beating because you pulled out…"
"What? Didn't you tell me that it was very safe?”
"Don't worry about it. Take this and change quickly.”Tony handed the new reactor to Pepper.
"Alright, I'll do it. Tony, it'll be fine, right?"
"It'll be fine. I can handle it.”
"I hope so."
At this moment, Pepper's heart was completely in a mess because of her nervousness. Even though Tony's acting skills were extremely poor, she could not see any clues.
"Father's trick is really clever, making Sister Pepper feel guilty towards him. With her personality, she will definitely think of a way to make it up to Father in the future.”
Outside the door, Mark, who had also done some research on the online book of pursuit, saw through Tony's tricks at a glance. Feeling that his father had settled down, Mark quietly left the door and returned to his room.
"Remember to connect that joint to the undercarriage.”Tony reminded him.
With a click, the connection was completed.
"Phew, is this okay?" Pepper breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is it that difficult? It was fun, wasn't it? Well done, Pepper! Are you alright?"
"Of course, I feel great, but don't ever, ever, ever ask me to do something like this again.”
"I have no one else but you. Ma Ke is so obsessed with cleanliness that he definitely wouldn't help me.”
"As expected, I knew it was pus.”As she spoke, Pepper shook off the liquid on her hands.
"Alright, don't mind that."
"Then how should we deal with this?" Pepper picked up the reactor that had just been switched out and asked.
"That? Destroy it, burn it, it doesn't matter.”
"Don't you want to keep it as a memento?"
"Pepper, people label me a lot, but nostalgia isn't one of them.”
"Well, if there's nothing else, Mr. Stark.”
"It's all right, Miss Pepper."
Pepper left the underground garage with the ark reactor that Tony had replaced. She lowered her head and seemed to be deep in thought, as if she had already thought about how to deal with this thing.
