And her forget-me-nots were so dead that only a few were left.

So Vic Barton clenched her book, something had to be paid for today.

“…Isn’t this a bit too spectacular?”

For the first time, Wilson regretted settling on the river that divided the continent.

Perhaps due to the suspected tide, the sea water continued to rise, and more water rushed into the river. The root-like things that were originally exposed in the water were submerged, and soon they would flood the shore.

But these are not the focus; the focus is the sky in the distance.

The moon in the sky emitted a unique glow, appearing distorted and deformed in a place they had never observed before.

Cuphead and Mug's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Ori's performance was not too good either. He had faced the biggest monsters before, but they had never been so overwhelming.

Little Red Riding Hood was relatively calm, after all, she had been in the group for a while. She noticed that the river was about to burst its banks, and the cards emitting icy coldness were thrown out. The river surface was instantly frozen, spreading all the way to the edge of the sea.

"How am I supposed to get up there now? I have cards that allow me to fly, but they definitely don't include leaving the surface of this world."

Although Little Red Riding Hood didn't know about planets before or didn't know the concept of planets very clearly, after staying in the group for so long, she always knew some things she had never heard of before.

"The power of time is also limited." Wanda sighed.

"No need to go," Vic Barton said, holding the last remaining cup of tea. "I previously looked up information about shadows and moon phases underground."

"Adding to what I learned in the library earlier, we just need to survive the tidal fluctuations caused by the changing phases of the moon."

"There might be some odd changes, but I think we should prioritize our farmland. Maybe there's a problem with our tree farm, too. You know, Wilson, logistics is always a priority."

"Also, you really should have a good talk with that old friend."

"What." Wilson didn't react for a moment to who the old friend the other person was referring to. After a long time, he touched his head unconsciously and said of course.

"Actually, if you guys want to confront them head-on, I have a plan." Tony Stark folded his arms and shrugged. "Or rather, it's very simple."

"After all, if something like that hangs in the sky for one day longer, it's going to make you sleepless and restless, right?"

"I understand what you mean. It's like those ant lions in the summer. If we don't deal with them, they'll cause endless damage," Wilson responded. "But if the farm isn't repaired quickly, it'll have a serious impact on my points."

Nothing is bigger than points. In addition to the food in the fields that they usually use for food, he will also exchange the excess for points.

Moreover, some special dishes that are difficult to store require uninterrupted supply to ensure that there are reserves at all times.

However, in a sense, it was also bad luck. It happened to be harvest day, and they had planned to harvest in steps to ensure freshness. Now, all the products in the field were ruined. If they didn't plant the next batch quickly, their meals would soon have to return to the boring days of meatballs, broth, meatballs, and meatballs.

"I respect your choice." Although Tony Stark was not very satisfied with the other party's decision, he still chose to give in.

"I want to see." Little Red Riding Hood smoothed her cloak. "The carpenter is still waiting for me."

She stated concisely that she wanted to finish the task quickly and leave.

Ori glanced at Little Red Riding Hood, then at El Wilson, and spoke with some difficulty. "I want to go back quickly, too."

The Cuphead brothers obviously didn't understand. There was a strange atmosphere between them, and they decided to take a break without thinking.

Wilson was no longer the ignorant young man who couldn't understand the situation. He immediately noticed the slight contradiction in it.

"Don't worry, there's no conflict between what we're going to do. After all, I'm not a strong fighter. I'll prepare enough supplies for you, and Wigfrid will go with you."

"Whatever you decide to do, please take me with you." Maxwell, holding up his hat, appeared before everyone. "I bet no one here knows Shadow better than I do. Shadow and Moon have battled for years, so this understanding will definitely be helpful."

"Ha, should I follow him?" The Valkyrie excitedly glanced at Maxwell with her weapon in hand, but she didn't have any objection.

"If it's convenient, please take me with you." Vic Barton drank the last of his tea. "Don't worry too much about me. I have enough experience in dealing with emergencies."

"Is that settled then?" Seeing that Wilson didn't try to stop him, Tony Stark raised his eyebrows and looked at the wrinkles on the girl, which were probably comparable to those of his grandmother whom he had never seen, but said nothing more.

Don't judge a book by its cover; this is one of the most profound lessons the chat group taught him.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, can't we really take a break?" The Cuphead brothers made sounds of wanting to slack off, but unfortunately they were rejected by Tony Stark.

Wilson watched them go as they left, rolling up his sleeves. "I hope our losses aren't too great."

The vegetative man slowly looked up at the sky, watching the spaceship heading straight for the moon and streaking across the sky like a meteor.

The place temporarily put together by Tony Stark was not shabby at all. At least it had all the necessary places for rest and eating. Even the chairs were cushioned and comfortable to sit on.

You can even see some exaggerated color decorative lines. If Steve saw it, he would probably complain about the luxurious and wasteful aesthetic.

During the process of leaving, everyone seemed to be in an indescribable silence, even quieter than the universe outside the window.

The Cuphead brothers felt a little uneasy in this silent atmosphere. Among this group of people, they were all too young. Perhaps Ori was a little younger than them based on the age of birth, but the special nature of their race made them mature too early.

Until the green light burst in from the translucent window in front, Tony Stark pressed a red button in good preparation, and the strange filter was immediately blocked, along with the pain that was tearing at his brain.

"I have to say, we picked a good time. The guy fell asleep, which made it easier for us to log in."

"Uh, are you kidding me?" Cuphead almost pressed his face against the glass, staring at the sleeping behemoth in a daze.

"Don't worry too much. The space suit I made is definitely strong enough. As long as it's not hit too hard, it shouldn't tear. Ah, as for other help? Too much help will lead to a lack of growth."

He took out the approved space suit with a smile, feeling inexplicably refreshed. Perhaps this was the pride of an old veteran?

"This is a great place for a cup of tea, isn't it?"

Vic Barton was sitting at the table. She was one of the few people who did not stand up and looked out the window with a serious expression.

"I have many varieties of tea here. Do you want me to give them to you, Madam, to choose from, or to make recommendations?"

Tony Stark has enough respect for such a wise and experienced elder.

"But I'm not Chinese, so I don't know much about tea. If I were to recommend something, I'd probably just go with my gut feeling."

"Thank you for your generosity," Vic Barton said, holding a book in his hand. "But, let's not talk about tea. I'm more curious if this dress only comes in this style."

She was referring to the space suits they were given to float through the cold space. The bright colors were a bit overwhelming, but the overall design was smooth and had a unique aesthetic. It would probably be difficult for someone with a middle school mentality to refuse such a design.

“Isn’t this too bright?”

But obviously, Vic Barton, as a man of a certain age, is not among them.

She spoke with a bit of embarrassment. "I still prefer something more retro."

Like a product of the Victorian era.

"Yeah, do you have any Greek-style ones?" The Valkyrie came over to join in the fun. "This one is so thick and tight, it looks like you can't breathe."

She has always liked wild and original things.

"...It seems that our aesthetic tastes are somewhat different." If it was Steve who was picky in front of him, Tony Stark would even kick him in the butt and loudly refute the words.

He can even refute with reason and evidence, and even those in the group who have very different aesthetic tastes from him find it difficult to disagree.

After all, Steve has become recognized as the person with the worst aesthetic taste in the group.

He sighed. "I'm sorry, ladies, but I don't think I can fulfill this little wish of yours. After all, you're about to face the big guys, and there's no time to wait."

He could actually accomplish this requirement easily, provided he had enough time.

Technology cannot be created from nothing, but can only be made into more. When everything is ready, it can show its sharpest fangs. If you have nothing, even a genius like Tony Stark cannot create anything from a pile of sand and stones.

But he won't encounter this situation now. The technology hidden beneath his skin is enough to utilize some raw materials and develop a huge technological empire.

After talking about so many irrelevant things, let's focus on the main business of this time.

They had already neatly put on their space suits to isolate themselves from the deadly substances in space, passed through the first external door, and stood in front of the not-so-big gate. Ori felt a little uneasy, which was unusual for him.

Compared to the excitement of the two brothers, the calmness of Little Red Riding Hood, and the composure of Valkyrie and Vic Barton, he sensed a hint of hidden uneasiness.

Although he has been in the chat group for a shorter time than Little Red Riding Hood, Ori's essence is the purest among this group of people.

He is the child of the elf tree, pure light. As long as he has enough time to find a suitable place to take root and sprout, he can take on the prosperity of an area.

This is his innate nature. Even if he doesn't join the chat group, as long as time goes on, he can always become a great existence - provided that he is alive.

As he floated in, Ori felt a little cold, which he thought was abnormal.

He had never been to space and knew almost nothing about it, otherwise he would have known that space itself was cold and lonely.

But if you have more knowledge, you will understand that it is surprising that you can feel cold under the isolation of such protective clothing. After all, this protective clothing can almost take them across the atmosphere and land directly on the planet itself.

Either you are knowledgeable or you are ignorant. The most terrifying thing is to have only a superficial knowledge.

And ignorance is not a bad thing as long as it is filled with a spirit of inquiry.

Who can be omniscient and omnipotent?

In short, Ori was now ignorant of this matter, so he focused on it firmly and did not miss this subtle and strange clue.

The closer he got to that thing, the colder he felt, but why was it so chilling to feel like something was staring at him?

Now they are still quite far away from the thing that might be the moon. Perhaps it is because it is too huge or because the other party is in a coma, people who are familiar with the moon have not seen anything unusual on this thing, and the missing small piece is just dim.

If they have the chance, they should land, stay on the planet itself, and dig deeper.

After several hours of traveling in space, they were getting closer and closer to that thing. They had even begun to break through the atmosphere and descend. At this moment, there was still nothing unusual on the surface, but they had seen some trees.

Or more accurately, vitality.

Fortunately, the people here are either not well-informed and have no idea that there is nothing on the moon, or they know that there is something on the moon, otherwise they would be surprised for a while.

When he landed on the ground, the nauseous dizziness was isolated by the space suit, but Ori felt colder and colder.

Little Red Riding Hood also hugged her arms and shivered.

The Valkyrie took out a red, glowing stone, which was obviously very hot, but it didn't seem to help them keep warm.

It's like this cold comes from within the human body rather than from external factors.

The soil on the moon is no different from the lunar islands, both are glowing, but the gravity here is indeed much smaller, and you can jump three feet high with a light jump.

As Ori moved forward, he jumped very high. His excellent jumping ability almost made him fly out of other people's sight.

It took a long time before it fell down in a hurry. Its long, beautiful ears were blown in the wind almost like a kite.

They explored the surface of the moon, but there was nothing worth noting except trees, rocks, and an ugly-looking spider, at least at the speed they were going.

"Wait, wait, we can't really explore the entire planet."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Cuphead sat down on the ground. Well, it hadn't been long now, but he was already tired.

But what he said made perfect sense. They couldn't possibly search this planet endlessly. It would take who knows how many years, maybe even longer than the time Tony Stark had been in the chat group.

They need to find some other way, a more convenient one.

536 Good Night

When the ghost suddenly appeared, Tony Stark was already sitting by the window, drinking a glass of red wine and quietly admiring the nearby moon.

In addition to appreciation, of course it also plays a supervisory role. As a superhero, it is too difficult to stop worrying too much, otherwise I would not have taken this path.

Before Tony Stark could even utter his warm welcome, an unexpected guest slowly arrived.

The person who came was a doctor.

"Don't mind me. Just continue whatever you're doing. I just came over to take a look." As soon as he landed, the other party waved his hand to block Tony Stark's questioning.

But this can't stop curiosity.

Tony Stark placed his tall wine glass on the table and couldn't help asking. "Look? What are you looking at?"

"Look at the stars."

"Haven't you seen it at my place?" he asked in surprise.

The doctor smiled and shook his head. "It's different."

Tony Stark was stunned for a moment, then chuckled nonchalantly. "While I have plenty of planet-sized creatures and even planets with life, the starry skies of every world are truly different and unique."

"You misunderstood." How could someone like the Doctor not hear the teasing in the other person's tone? He should have teased back, but he just stared out the window, his hands in his pockets, his tone heavy. "My mood has changed. I want to see what the starry sky looks like, the kind some people dream of seeing."

"..." Tony Stark paused. "How do you feel?"

"I can't really say. I've seen so many things in the chat group that I didn't notice how much my perception of the world has changed. I've always thought the starry sky was something I took for granted and never delved into it in detail."

“…It makes me miss something.”

"I never thought that what I thought was within my reach was what so many people only dreamed of pursuing."
