"Are you sure?" Lu Xiao asked Tony. You want to know?"
He did not know how Tony Stark died in other universes, but Lu Xiao knew very well how Tony Stark died in the MCUs. He even knew his last words.
"I'm sure!" Tony said.
He only had three months left to live after being poisoned by Paladin. No one knew about Paladin poisoning except him.
"Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you. However, you have to bear the consequences.”
" Tony Stark," Lu Xiao continued," you will die in 2023. As for the cause of death?" He snapped his fingers."
Tony was stunned and sneered,"
"You are indeed a liar. I will die in 2023? The cause of death was still a snap of his fingers? Why didn't you say that I was killed by aliens? Alright, kid, let me tell you…"
Before Tony could finish, Lu Xiao interrupted him.""Are you telling me that you're poisoned and won't live for more than three months?”
" How did you know?!" Tony was surprised.
This guy clearly knew, so why did he still say that? Was he playing with him?
"Wait…"
Tony suddenly fell into deep thought. He looked at Lu Xiao and said,"" In other words, I found a new element to replace 'Palladium'?!”
This was the only way to explain why the guy in front of him said that he would die in 2023.
It was not because of the Paladin poisoning three months later.
Lu Xiao nodded.
"I knew it. I, Tony Stark, am a genius. How could I not find an element to replace 'palladium'?”
Tony could be said to be extremely excited to have been rescued from the brink of death.
Looking at the excited Tony, Lu Xiao chuckled and said,"
"There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
"Of course it's good news." Tony raised his eyebrows.”
" According to the original development, you will find an element to replace 'Paladin' before your body collapses and complete your rebirth.”Lu Xiao said.
"Originally? What do you mean?" Tony asked with a frown.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
" I mean it literally," Lu Xiao said." As a scientist, you should know that many great inventions and discoveries are born from accidents and coincidences."”
Tony's expression was a little ugly.
Of course, he understood what Lu Xiao meant.
In history, most of the discoveries of new elements were accidental events. If one deliberately searched for them, there would be no results.
In other words…
When he searched for it with this goal, he would not be able to find it.
"It seems like you have already thought of it. The bad news is that after I tell you all this, it is very likely that you will not be able to discover this new element.”Lu Xiao said.
Would Tony not be able to discover the new element? It was possible, but the possibility was extremely small, so small that it was almost impossible.
After all, Tony's importance in the MCUs was irreplaceable. Even if he couldn't find it, Gu Yi would still send the new element to Tony.
But Tony didn't know that. If he didn't scare him, how could he honestly trade with him?
Lu Xiao realized that he was getting more and more cunning…or rather, he was getting more and more familiar with the art of trading.
That's right, he was just a small store manager, not a demon. How could he be described as treacherous?
"Damn it! You shouldn't have told me this." Tony was a little annoyed.
Lu Xiao shrugged innocently.""I've confirmed it with you, and I've said it before, you'll have to bear the consequences.”
It has nothing to do with me. I'm not responsible. Don't blame me…Three times.
Tony regretted it.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have asked.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Lu Xiao,""You should know how I discovered the new element.”
Although it was a question, Tony was basically certain that the guy in front of him definitely knew.
"Of course!"
"Do you want to trade?" Lu Xiao asked with a smile.”
"What do you want?”
It was like throwing away something that belonged to you before realizing how important it was. At this moment, someone was asking you if you wanted to buy it, and they were even prepared to ask for an exorbitant price.
"After you develop a new energy source, I want a new energy warframe, which is Mark-6 warframe.”Lu Xiao quoted.
Tony wanted to refuse.
He didn't want to give his warframe to anyone, but the guy in front of him didn't want anything else except the warframe and the ark reactor. In a sense, he was really a poor man.
Damn it…
He was actually poor.
Seeing Tony's hesitation, Lu Xiao said,"" You don't want to sell the warframe to the military because you don't want to see your warframe become a weapon for killing. But you don't have to worry about that when you sell it to me. It's hard for a second customer to come here in the same world. In other words, you don't have to worry about it appearing in your world again when you sell it to me.”
"You have customers from other worlds?”Tony said.
"Of course, this store is connected to the myriad worlds. Otherwise, why would it be called Myriad Worlds Little Store?”Lu Xiao said.
"What kind of customers are there? Humans? Mechanical life? A sentient being? Are you human? Is it because I am a human that you appear in front of me in human form…"
Tony seemed to be interested and asked one question after another.
"Stop!"
" I can't tell you about other customers without permission," Lu Xiao said." I can only tell you that I'm a human, and most of my customers are humans. In the endless universe, humans are very special."”
Tony was not satisfied with Lu Xiao's answer.
However, he did not continue to ask.
"Alright, I accept your offer. Now, can you tell me how to discover the new element?”Tony said.
Lu Xiao recalled for a moment and said," The model of the Stark Industrial Exhibition in 1974. The main exhibition hall is the nucleus. You should be able to handle the rest."”
Hearing this, Tony's expression became complicated.""A model from Stark Industries Exposition?”
"That's right, it was your father who created the elements. Due to the limitations of the era, there was no way to synthesize them in that era.”Lu Xiao said.
" He's been dead for 20 years, and he's still teaching me things..." Tony muttered.
Tony exhaled and looked at Lu Xiao.""When the Mark-6 is developed, I will give you a set.”
Tony was ready to leave.
When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and asked Lu Xiao,""What should I do next time?"
"If you think about it a few times, you will appear here.”Lu Xiao said.
"Magic or technology?"
Tony's curiosity flared up again.
Lu Xiao smiled." It's not magic, nor is it technology. It's an idealistic power."”
"Is that so? Goodbye then."
Tony stepped out of the shop.
