Chapter 2104 - 2104 Iced Coffee, Ice Cream
2104 Iced Coffee, Ice Cream
Dr. Banner had long heard from Thor that Knight had saved millions of Asgardians and fought Hela, the Goddess of Death.
In any case, Knight had always been invincible. This comfort was very reassuring, and he calmed down a lot.
Luke took out a cup of iced coffee from his inventory and gave it to Dr. Banner to calm down.
Stumped, Dr. Banner took the iced coffee and subconsciously took a big mouthful.
Then, he said blankly, “Hm, it’s real iced coffee.”
Amused, Luke patted his shoulder. “You’ve been gone too long, Dr. Banner. Tony will give you a login device later, and you’ll be able to access your public space.”
Saying that, he took out another cup of iced coffee and gave it to Fatty Wong, who was watching silently. “Do you want one too?”
Fatty Wang couldn’t help but take a sip. “Hm, a cappuccino. It… tastes pretty good.”
Luke accepted the compliment with a smile and took out a cup of iced coffee for himself. He took a leisurely sip. Actually, lattes weren’t bad.
After all, this was a product of a million dollars’ worth of research into a one-of-a-kind smart coffee machine with numerous flavors.
When Strange and Tony came back through the portal, they saw the ‘coffee trio’ standing around, while Dr. Banner had calmed down significantly.
Strange looked at Fatty Wong inquiringly, as well as at the half-empty cup of iced coffee in his hand.
Fatty Wang said, “From Knight.”
Luke asked, “Do you want one too?”
Strange shook his head. “I…”
Luke had already handed him an iced coffee. “You’re welcome.”
Strange: “…Thank you. Now, Dr. Banner will give you the details.”
A few minutes later, after listening to Dr. Banner’s succinct explanation, Tony glanced at Luke thoughtfully from where he was sitting on a bench in the living room. Strange and the rest might not know, but Tony knew very well that Luke had been manufacturing third-class fighter planes and battleships like crazy in recent years.
He had even created a fighter plane game with tens of thousands of players who were in fact ordinary people who had been trained cheaply to become ‘fighter plane remote pilots.’ Several thousand players were contracted to teams, while there were tens of thousands of independent players.
If necessary, these people could become an explosive army.
In any case, those small fighter planes were cheap and were basically consumables, while the remote pilots wouldn’t die.
Seeing that Luke didn’t say anything, the tycoon asked, “So, Thanos has to collect all six Stones in order to fulfill his, hm, dream?”
“Yes.” Dr. Banner nodded.
Tony said, “He stole the Power Stone and took the Reality Stone from Loki. Where are the other gems?”
Strange glanced at Luke and saw that he still didn’t say anything, so he decisively sold him out. “Bruce has the Space Stone, and I have the Time Stone.”
As he spoke, he opened the outer layer of the Eye of Agamotto and showed the tycoon the warm green light.
Tony crossed his arms and propped up his chin with his other hand as he stared at the Stone. “Then just get rid of it. Won’t it be fine after that?”
He said it very naturally, as if he had completely forgotten that Luke was holding the Space Stone.
Tony didn’t care why Luke had insisted on getting the Space Stone back.
But if Luke wanted to keep the Space Stone, then they could destroy the Time Stone.
Strange said, “That’s impossible.”
Fatty Wang immediately chimed in, “We’ve sworn to protect the Time Stone with our lives.”
Tony snorted. “I swore I wouldn’t eat dairy anymore, but ever since I had ice cream named after me…”
Strange asked, “That Stark Raving Nuts flavor?”
Tony raised an eyebrow. “Is it good?”
Strange said, “It’s chalky.”
Fatty Wang: “The Hunka Hulka Burning Fudge flavor is our favorite.”
Dr. Banner was in disbelief. “That’s a thing?”
Suddenly, he felt that he had indeed been away for too long, long enough that ice cream was being sold under the Hulk’s name, and he had never received a cent in royalties.
Tony waved his hand indifferently. “Whatever. Things always change…”
Strange said, “Our oath won’t change, and we want to stop Thanos. That’s not the point.”
Tony asked, “Then what’s the point?”
Strange looked at Luke, who was next to the tycoon.
Tony also turned around.
Luke stopped playing the bystander. “The point is that since we have two Stones, we should choose a suitable battlefield.”
Tony raised an eyebrow. “Where?”
Luke said, “Wakanda.”
First of all, compared with New York, which was a purely commercial metropolis, Wakanda, which was basically isolated from the outside world, was more like a closed military fortress.
The protective shield created with vibranium was something that New York would never have.
Secondly, because of Wakanda’s covert intervention, there were no other populated areas for hundreds of kilometers.
In the end, it was the only country governed by superheroes.
King T’Challa had a good attitude toward the Justice League and the Avengers.
After misunderstanding Bucky, who had been framed by Colonel Zemo, T’Challa had invited the ‘retired’ Avengers to settle down in Wakanda.
Now, Steve, Bucky, Natasha, Vision and Clint would return to Wakanda to rest whenever they were free.
That was because Wakanda, which was located in Africa, was strong enough to say no to the European and American governments.
…
A moment later, they walked through a portal and appeared dozens of kilometers away from Wakanda.
After receiving Luke’s notification, T’Challa immediately picked them up on a private jet.
After they got off the jet, Dr. Banner was a little nervous. “Should we bow?”
Tony said, “He’s a king.”
On the other side, T’Challa had already strode over with his bald female guards.
The two parties soon met up.
Seeing that there was no movement on the other side, Dr. Banner remembered his question and couldn’t help but bow.
Luke: …
Strange: …
Tony pulled him up in surprise. “Hey, Banner, I was just kidding.”
Dr. Banner could only look aggrieved as he stared at the tycoon resentfully.
Tony hugged him with a smile. “Let’s go, let’s go. I just wanted you to loosen up a bit.”
Dr. Banner: …
T’Challa simply nodded at everyone and gestured for them to enter the palace. “How big an enemy force is it?”
Dr. Banner said, “Too big. Thanos has an entire space fleet.”
Luke added, “They defeated the Nova Corps not long ago. That’s the main force of the Nova Empire, which has more than 10,000 fighter planes.”
