Captain, your ship has exploded again.

"Why do I have to help with the work?"

After obtaining the new elemental structure diagram through scanning, Tony is renovating his villa, while Zhang Xun, who is freeloading on the side, is the best labor force.

"If you ask me, once we've got this sorted out, we can just go out and plant those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the fields. Maybe next year you'll harvest even more alien weapons."

Tony looked at Zhang Xun, who was lifting the pipes, and said, "Are you sure these grew in the ground? Or were they bought wholesale from somewhere else?"

"Anyway, we've gained a lot! Don't worry about the details!" Zhang Xun said after installing the last pipe.

"Oh! Really! I just discovered that alien technology can be wholesaled! I wonder if yours can be wholesaled?" Coulson said as he walked in from the doorway.

"Holy crap! Eavesdropping on other people's conversations is very impolite!" Zhang Xun said in surprise, picking up a shield from the side and holding it in front of him.

"It's not that I want to eavesdrop! It's just that there's no door here. Are your so-called conspiracies all about making a lot of noise?" After saying that, Coulson walked over and tapped the shield in Zhang Xun's hand.

Tony, who was busy with his work, watched the two bickering and helplessly walked over, snatched the shield from Zhang Xun's hand, and placed it under the pipe.

"Can't you guys just shut up for a second?"

Zhang Xun and Coulson pointed at each other and said, "He targeted me first!"

"Damn! It's like a parrot growing wings and turning into a mimic!" Zhang Xun walked to the side, picked up a pair of sunglasses, and put them on.

"You were the one who targeted me first!" Coulson also took out a pair of sunglasses from his jacket pocket and put them on.

"That time you captured me, you hit me in the head with an alien weapon! It's good enough that I didn't hit back. Why don't you let me hit you with a blaster and see how it goes?" He greeted Coulson with an international sign language greeting.

"Quiet!" Tony was really fed up with Zhang Xun, but after all, he had saved him, so he couldn't repay kindness with enmity!

As the instrument started, a loud noise filled the room. Coulson looked at the instrument with some discomfort, not understanding why Zhang Xun and Tony were so calm.

Zhang Xun smiled at Coulson, who looked like he was constipated. Only after the new Arc Reactor successfully started up did he walk over to Tony and clap his hands in celebration, saying, "Congratulations, Tony! From now on, you'll never be troubled by elemental poisoning again!"

Tony ignored Zhang Xun and instead looked at the new reactor.

Coulson nudged Tony with a somewhat odd gesture.

Tony immediately pulled away when he felt someone touch him, turned around and saw Coulson rubbing his ear. He then took off his earplugs and apologized, "Oh! Sorry, I don't like people touching me! Agent Coulson, why are you rubbing your ear? Didn't Zhang Xun give you earplugs?"

Coulson was speechless. He looked at Zhang Xun, who was taking out his earplugs, and mentally added another mark against him.

"How about it? Can this thing replace your old toys?" Zhang Xun looked at the new Ark Reactor with some curiosity. This small thing had an unknown power output. It could become stronger when faced with a strong opponent, but it liked to malfunction at crucial moments.

Tony was about to attach it to his chest when Zhang Xun immediately stopped him, saying, "You haven't even had it tested. What if it explodes on your chest?"

Coulson nodded in agreement, and seeing this, Tony had no choice but to give up and put the new reactor on the test bench for safety testing.

Over the next two days, Tony focused on testing the new reactor and improved his armor based on Zhang Xun's equipment.

Just before the evening of the second day, a number called.

"Communications restored?" Tony looked at Jarvis in disbelief.

Zhang Xun, who was covered in mud while making beggar's chicken, looked up at the computer screen and shouted, "Coulson! Is your S.H.I.E.L.D. communication blockade broken? Do you need some technical support?"

Coulson, who was on the phone outside, came in and looked at the communication request on the computer. He said, "The peripheral agents have withdrawn, the communication blockade has been confirmed to be lifted, and I have received orders to go to Mexico tomorrow morning."

Zhang Xun cheered, "Great! That annoying guy can finally leave."

Coulson looked at Zhang Xun and sighed, "I really hope you can cause trouble while you're alive. It would be easier to kill you than to waste manpower guarding you."

Hey Tony, are you okay?

A deep male voice came through the connected call; it wasn't the kind of pure American English.

Tony asked, somewhat surprised, "Vanke?"

"What do you think? I took your advice and upgraded the reactor."

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment and said, "No! I didn't kill you with one shot? I was using an M4A4 pistol, firing high-velocity tungsten alloy ammunition! Just thinking about it makes me angry! Coulson, where's my gun?!"

"Holy crap! That bug who caused all that trouble is here too! Too bad, my helmet uses a mixed bag of materials, it was just a hair's breadth away from penetrating, but it ricocheted! Anyway, Tony, in 40 minutes, I will repay you in full for what your father did to my family more than 40 years ago!"

He then hung up the phone, and Tony only managed to trace the call back to Hammer.

Tony found out about Hammer's expo and immediately picked up the still-testing reactor and pressed it to his chest.

Zhang Xun said with some surprise, "Oh! Brother, we don't even know how much power this thing has left. Are you going to use it to your death?"

"Don't worry, as long as the reactor is still working, there's plenty of electricity. Oh my god! It smells like coconut and metal."

Zhang Xun stared at the reactor on the other person's chest, its brightness rapidly increasing, and asked curiously, "Are you sure you're not being ionized? Becoming a person being decomposed?"

As the reactor lights dimmed, Tony immediately began donning his armor, intending to confront Hammervanko, and asked Zhang Xun, "Are you coming?"

Just as Zhang Xun was about to agree and join in the fun, Coulson blocked his way, saying, "You can't go out."

"Why? Tony can go but I can't?"

Coulson pointed to Tony's armor and said, "His is registered."

He then pointed to Zhang Xun's armor and said, "Yours is registered too, and I don't trust aliens."

"That's all prejudice! Why can he register and go out to play, but I get beaten up if I register and go out?" After saying that, he sat back down by his fireplace and continued to wait for the beggar's chicken.

Tony didn't have time to deal with them and immediately took off for the expo venue.

Seeing that Zhang Xun couldn't join the fun, he looked at the campfire with disappointment. Coulson also took a can of beer and sat on the sofa, watching Zhang Xun's back.

Soon the aroma of roasted chicken filled the room.

Zhang Xun carried two already opened beggar's chickens to the sofa, intending to finish his dinner.

"Agent Cole, would you like to try this? It's a local delicacy from my hometown." He then handed over a chicken leg.

Coulson shook his head and refused, after all, who knew if he had drugged him?

After Zhang Xun ate the chicken legs of both chickens, he started to dismantle the chicken carcass to eat. Coulson was so captivated by the aroma that he kept swallowing his saliva.

Seeing this, Zhang Xun took the opportunity to hand over a piece of chicken: "Try it! I marinated it for a long time, and tried many times for this taste."

Unable to bear it any longer, Coulson took a piece and watched Zhang Xun finish the rest of the meat before he started eating it too. It did taste quite good.

Just as Coulson finished his chicken and was about to have a beer, his vision blurred. He immediately realized he had been tricked, grabbed his gun, and got up, intending to settle the score with Zhang Xun, who was hiding behind the bar. He hadn't taken two steps before he collapsed.

Seeing Coulson gradually lose his strength, Zhang Xun stepped out from behind the bar and kicked away the gun in Coulson's hand.

"I knew our constitutions were different when you first arrested me, yet you still dared to eat what I made! Hey! I drugged all the food! Even the fridge where you just took the beer, all the drinks in it were drugged! Hahahaha! Agent Cole, prepare to face your fate!"

After hearing what Zhang Xun said, Coulson made the international hand gesture and then completely fainted.

After kicking the other person to check that the medicine was working properly, Zhang Xun immediately began to collect all the fabric in the room. He burned everything, including the one Coulson was wearing.

"Anyway, Tony's got money, so this is nothing to him! But Agent Cole, I hope the person picking you up tomorrow won't get hurt!"

Then I took out a black sequined V-shaped top with a high slit from the bar, uh... fabric? I put it on Coulson, but I used a wooden stick to put it on him, so I probably didn't put it in the right spot. I hope he won't feel too uncomfortable when he wakes up tomorrow. Then I took a picture to remember the occasion.
