Chapter 94: More Spoilers
Think about the Hulk and Bruce Banner.
In the original storyline, even though Tony Stark and Bruce Banner got along well, Tony still created the Hulkbuster armor! Although Bruce Banner himself contributed to its development.
But now, Qi Jun definitely wouldn't foolishly participate in Tony Stark's "anti-Qi Jun" armor project.
Of course, Qi Jun wouldn't join Tony Stark's superhero team either! For Qi Jun, even though he wasn't a slacker, standing in front of the whole world like an idiot was not his style. Quiet development was more in line with his philosophy.
"No!"
Qi Jun firmly rejected Tony Stark's wishful thinking! However, Qi Jun did give Tony a little candy. "Of course, once you form the team, you can come to me to buy anything you and your team need! I'll even give you a discount!"
To push this team to the forefront and attract as much global attention as possible, Qi Jun decided to offer Tony Stark and his team a discount.
Should it be a 5% discount or a 10% discount? Such a dilemma! Just kidding.
Honestly, with Qi Jun's current power, there was almost nothing on Earth that could catch his eye.
Especially after he had absorbed the knowledge from the skill books copied from the Ancient One, which included magical knowledge and experiences. Qi Jun's standards had been significantly elevated.
Aside from the Time Stone, the Tesseract, Vibranium, and some magical artifacts, there wasn't much on Earth that interested Qi Jun.
His sights were now set on the endless dimensions and the entire universe!
"What's the point if you don't join?"
"Is there anyone stronger than the great Tony Stark, the famous super-genius scientist?"
"Who else could provide the help I need? I'd be lucky if they didn't hold me back!"
Hearing Qi Jun's tempting offer, Tony Stark refused without hesitation.
As an arrogant and self-confident person, Tony Stark had a deep inner glow of humanity, but at this stage, Tony Stark looked down on everyone! Except for Qi Jun, that is.
"Tony!"
Qi Jun wasn't surprised by Tony's reaction. "Do you think Earth is safe in this universe?"
"I mentioned it briefly last time, but since you're forming a superhero team, I'll give you some free information."
Qi Jun grinned, almost as if he was sure Tony Stark would form the team.
In fact, after hearing Qi Jun talk about the Nine Realms, the three major super-empires in the universe, some interstellar pirates eyeing Earth, and even a cosmic overlord, Tony Stark was left speechless and had made up his mind to form a superhero team.
Of course, Qi Jun only gave a rough overview. For more detailed information, Tony would have to trade for it. Just a Tesseract would suffice for all the details about cosmic forces.
Tony Stark had no idea that Qi Jun's bright smile hid a devilish grin.
Tony was already stunned! What? The bedtime stories from childhood were all true? Earth is Midgard of the Nine Realms? Earth has been under protection, and outside that protection, countless wolves are eyeing it.
"I'll think about it!"
Tony Stark said, needing time to process the massive amount of information.
"Tony, I have a list of people you can recruit into your superhero team."
"In the early stages, I can provide you with some extra help. Of course, this is free, as I'm also an Earthling. Consider it... sponsorship! But this is a one-time deal. If you want more support in the future, you'll have to trade for it!"
Seeing Tony Stark's expression, Qi Jun knew Tony was tempted, so he immediately sweetened the deal to ensure Tony made up his mind.
"Tai Bai, send this list to Tony Stark!"
Qi Jun inserted a device into Tai Bai's mainframe and instructed.
"Yes, sir!"
A set of data quickly flashed through and was transmitted back to Earth via quantum communication, reaching JARVIS and displaying in front of Tony Stark.
Daredevil, Big Daddy, Hit-Girl, Punisher... and so on. In fact, by having Tony Stark form a superhero team and include Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, Qi Jun intended to boost their strength. After all, these two had greatly helped Qi Jun early on when he first arrived in the Marvel Universe.
Although these people were just street-level heroes with not much power, Qi Jun believed their conviction would earn Tony Stark's respect.
If they could maintain street-level peace, why not take a bigger step and protect the world?
"Alright, Tony. That's all for now. Once you've selected your team members, you can come to me for this free sponsorship! Oh, and since I'm already exposed to these intelligence organizations, you can keep my contact number. But remember, only the contact number! Also, you must not reveal my manor's location!"
With that, Qi Jun had Tai Bai cut the communication.
