Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

But when he asked Lu Mingfei to design a new mobile phone chip based on that knowledge, he was immediately at a loss.

Tony ridiculed Lu Mingfei mercilessly, then gave a live demonstration of what improvisation is all about—he designed a mobile phone chip from scratch in just two hours. The chip's performance was among the best in the market, unlike any mainstream chip, and it didn't even exist in his memory before.

As it turns out, this ability is still quite flawed; it can replicate knowledge, but it cannot replicate intelligence or human creativity.

“Using this ability to copy knowledge seems powerful, but it’s not very useful,” Tony commented. “But since you say it will give you a powerful learning ability, then we can’t waste it.”

"What do you mean... 'cannot waste'?" Lu Mingfei suddenly had a very bad feeling.

“Of course it’s learning!” Tony said. “Starting today, I’ll have Jarvis hire the best teachers in America, no, the world, to be your mentors. Once you’ve passed the initial stage, I will personally become your teacher.”

"No, I don't think I need to study that well. I just want to study casually, get into a top university, and maybe get a doctorate in the future. I'll be satisfied with that." Lu Mingfei swallowed.

No matter how strong the learning ability that comes with this power, there is a limit. Even someone as fictional as Tony Stark didn't graduate from MIT until he was seventeen.

Lu Mingfei didn't think that with the help of an ability, he could learn faster than Tony.

"That's not up to you." Tony said resolutely.

Although Tony had just mocked Lu Mingfei, he also did a simple test, and Lu Mingfei's learning ability was indeed the best he had ever seen.

Although I can't compare to him, he is still one of the world's rare geniuses.

What's even more terrifying is that Lu Mingfei's learning talent is evident in all aspects; he is a genius in every field.

Tony felt a pang of heartache at the thought of letting such a genius waste his talent, so he didn't hesitate to have Jarvis arrange top tutors for Lu Mingfei from all over the world and thoughtfully turned down all the cocktail parties and banquets for him.

This is purely out of piety towards science and appreciation for genius.

I absolutely did not intend to frame Lu Mingfei.

The title of this chapter is "Word Spirit: Mirror Eye". Lu Mingfei's awakened ability is indeed Mirror Eye. However, according to the Dragon Clan's setting, the names of Word Spirits and the Word Spirit Periodic Table are names given to the Word Spirits that the hybrids later discovered. Therefore, Lu Mingfei does not know what his Word Spirit is called.

Thank you to the disciple of Broken Sword Guild for the 500 coins, and thank you to Kaiming for the 100 coins. Thank you!

Chapter 16 Return

In Tony's laboratory.

"You're going back already?" Tony asked, somewhat surprised. "Didn't you stay for three months last time?"

“I was able to stay for three months last time because I had plenty of energy,” Lu Mingfei explained. “This time I only recovered a little bit of my energy before coming here. I just wanted to let you know I’m safe and sound so you wouldn’t worry about me.”

"How could I have guessed that you'd assigned me eight teachers as soon as I arrived?" Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Since awakening his powers and being assigned teachers by Tony, Lu Mingfei has been studying with these teachers for five days.

The learning process was not as painful as he had imagined. After awakening his abilities, his learning capacity increased many times over. No matter what the knowledge was, he no longer needed the teacher to explain it a second time.

He also discovered another use for his ability—he could analyze the structure of objects.

As long as an object is within 30 meters of him and can be seen by his eyes, he can "see" its structure in his mind in a unique way. If he can touch it, he can even "model" it in his mind and disassemble each part to examine it repeatedly.

However, this ability has limitations. It requires Lu Mingfei to understand the corresponding scientific principles; otherwise, he can only see through the structures but cannot understand the operating logic within them.

For example, if you ask him to disassemble a laptop, he can easily take it apart and then put it back together, but if you ask him about the working principle or design principle of the thing, Lu Mingfei will be completely clueless.

In this situation, a computer is just a very complex 3D puzzle to him; it's easy to take it apart and put it back together, but asking him to make one or design a new computer is absolutely impossible.

Conversely, as long as his knowledge base is sufficient, Lu Mingfei can easily replicate any technology he has ever seen, including Tony's miniature reactor and Iron Man armor.

The prerequisite is that he must have the corresponding knowledge.

These are things he can learn later, but right now Lu Mingfei has to go back. He has very little energy left and can only say goodbye to Tony in a hurry.

Because of limited time, he wasn't planning to get any technical expertise from Tony this time.

He had discussed it with Tony before, and he wouldn't ask Tony for money for his sword made of special materials. Anyway, he wasn't short of money in this world. He wanted to use the sword to trade with Tony for some small technology to take back to his own world and sell the patents.

Tony readily agreed.

But Lu Mingfei was basically certain that the technological level of his world and Tony's world was definitely not on the same level.

If he accidentally takes something really exciting back with him, the consequences will probably be severe.

His world doesn't have a former arms dealer named Tony Stark protecting him.

Anyway, the money Su Xiaoqiang lent him was enough for him to live normally for at least two months. He needed to go back to his own world first, investigate the level of technology in his world, and then decide what to take from Tony.

Ideally, it should be something that's only slightly ahead of its time.

“Oh, right, here’s the gold and gems you wanted,” Tony said, pointing to a briefcase on the table. “I mainly put gold and silver in there for you. The value of gems mainly comes from their certificates, especially for diamonds, so gold and silver are more convenient.”

"Thanks, Tony." Lu Mingfei picked up the briefcase.

Gold has a very high density, and silver also has a high density. The suitcase is only the size of a briefcase, but weighs nearly 20 kilograms.

Although Lu Mingfei had already given up hope of bringing anything with him when he discovered his phone was missing during his previous time travel, he still managed to travel through time.

But it's free to try, and what if you're pleasantly surprised?

"Are you really not going to wear an Iron Man suit back with you? I even made one especially for you," Tony said from the side. "According to you, you lost your phone when you came, but you still have the suit. Maybe the Iron Man suit will stay with you like the suit?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head decisively: "Let's forget it."

He wasn't afraid of not being able to bring that thing back; he was afraid that it could actually be brought back.

After traveling back, Lu Mingfei definitely won't have the energy to travel back a second time in a short period of time. If this thing gets taken back then, where will he hide it?

"Tony, I'm going back now, bye~" Lu Mingfei waved to Tony.

"Bye-bye, remember to study hard when you get back," Tony "kindly" reminded him.

Lu Mingfei disappeared on the spot.

As Lu Mingfei disappeared, the box in his hand fell straight to the ground with a loud "thud".

"Just as Mingfei said, he can't carry anything." Tony nodded, then struggled to lift the suitcase.

Twenty kilograms isn't very heavy, but the box itself is quite small, and no one considered that someone would use it to carry gold when it was designed, so its structure isn't very suitable for exerting force when lifting heavy objects.

After putting the box back on the table, Tony found himself a little out of breath.

"Looks like I should really start training more..."

Thinking back to how Lu Mingfei would come to him every time he finished class to show off his newfound physical abilities, Tony's eyes twitched.

But soon, he had a new idea.

"I wonder if Lu Mingfei's blood can be used to make a super soldier serum to enhance me as well." Tony stroked his chin.

Tony wasn't too concerned about the combat power that came with awakening, since he already had the Iron Man suit.

But logically speaking, if someone has such strong physical abilities, they should also be very strong in that area, right?

This was a fatal temptation for Tony.

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't have any shortcomings in that area.

But what man would complain about being too strong in certain areas?

Tony gradually developed a bold idea.

……

A few days later, in Nick Fury's office at S.H.I.E.L.D.

"What? That guy named Lu Mingfei hasn't shown up at all?" Fury frowned as he listened to Coulson's report.

“To be precise, from the day Natasha and I started our operation, that man named Lu Mingfei has never appeared in any public place again,” Coulson said. “Of course, he hadn’t made any public appearances for a short period of time before that, and it’s not necessarily because he noticed Natasha and I’s operation that he deliberately disappeared.”

“Hmm… I understand. You can continue your operation. For now, keep Tony Stark as your target,” Fury ordered.

"Yes, sir."

After hanging up the call, Fury rubbed his temples, thinking to himself, "This Lu Mingfei's background might be more troublesome than I expected."

……

In the Dragon Raja world, in a budget hotel, in Lu Mingfei's room.

A figure appeared out of thin air.

“You’re back,” Lu Mingfei raised his hand, not too disappointed since he was already prepared. “As expected, things from those two worlds can’t be taken between each other.”

He felt in his pocket, and his phone reappeared.

Pulling back the curtains and glancing at the completely dark sky outside, Lu Mingfei decided to go downstairs for a late-night snack.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

A rapid knocking sounded on the door.

"Who is it?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously. He remembered that he had specifically told the front desk not to disturb his room.

"It's me! Lu Mingfei, why are you sleeping like a log? Come and open the door!" Su Xiaoqiang's angry voice came from outside the door.

Chapter 17 Su Xiaoqiang's Invitation

In the world of Dragon Raja, at a barbecue restaurant near the hotel where Lu Mingfei was staying.

A high-spec Audi A8 was parked in front of the store.

The price of this car is almost more than the restaurant's profits for two years.

In the barbecue restaurant, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang sat facing each other.

"You're a young lady, can't you find a more upscale restaurant to treat me so I can get a better deal?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“You should feel honored that I’m inviting you to dinner,” Su Xiaoqiang glared at him. “And guess why I just picked a random restaurant nearby?”

"Hmm... for the sake of being more approachable?" Lu Mingfei guessed.

"It's because I've been waiting outside for ages and you still haven't opened the door. My restaurant reservation is overdue!" Su Xiaoqiang exclaimed in frustration.

“Then let’s go line up. Don’t worry, I’m very patient,” Lu Mingfei reminded her. “Besides, Little Fairy, you’re a lady, so you can’t just swear.”

"Lady my foot! I'm starving, and if I have to wait in line at another restaurant, I'll get low blood sugar," Su Xiaoqiang gritted her teeth in anger, squinting at Lu Mingfei. "Guess whose fault this is?"

"Is Uncle Li in the car? Why don't we invite him over to have something to eat?" Lu Mingfei quickly changed the subject.

“Uncle Li went to another restaurant. He said he was afraid that if he were there, the two of us young people would feel uncomfortable chatting,” Su Xiaoqiang said.

There's no need to be so understanding, is there?
