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, âHm, itâs real iced coffee.â
Amused, Luke patted his shoulder. âYouâve been gone too long, Dr. Banner. Tony will give you a login device later, and youâll be able to access your public space.â
Saying that, he took out another cup of iced coffee and gave it to Fatty Wong, who was watching silently. âDo you want one too?â
Fatty Wang couldnât help but take a sip. âHm, a cappuccino. It⊠tastes pretty good.â
Luke accepted the compliment with a smile and took out a cup of iced coffee for himself. He took a leisurely sip. Actually, lattes werenât bad.
After all, this was a product of a million dollarsâ 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 âcoffee trioâ 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, âFrom Knight.â
Luke asked, âDo you want one too?â
Strange shook his head. âIâŠâ
Luke had already handed him an iced coffee. âYouâre welcome.â
Strange: ââŠThank you. Now, Dr. Banner will give you the details.â
A few minutes later, after listening to Dr. Bannerâs 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 âfighter plane remote pilots.â 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 wouldnât die.
Seeing that Luke didnât say anything, the tycoon asked, âSo, Thanos has to collect all six Stones in order to fulfill his, hm, dream?â
âYes.â Dr. Banner nodded.
Tony said, âHe stole the Power Stone and took the Reality Stone from Loki. Where are the other gems?â
Strange glanced at Luke and saw that he still didnât say anything, so he decisively sold him out. âBruce has the Space Stone, and I have the Time Stone.â
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. âThen just get rid of it. Wonât it be fine after that?â
He said it very naturally, as if he had completely forgotten that Luke was holding the Space Stone.
Tony didnât 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, âThatâs impossible.â
Fatty Wang immediately chimed in, âWeâve sworn to protect the Time Stone with our lives.â
Tony snorted. âI swore I wouldnât eat dairy anymore, but ever since I had ice cream named after meâŠâ
Strange asked, âThat Stark Raving Nuts flavor?â
Tony raised an eyebrow. âIs it good?â
Strange said, âItâs chalky.â
Fatty Wang: âThe Hunka Hulka Burning Fudge flavor is our favorite.â
Dr. Banner was in disbelief. âThatâs a thing?â
Suddenly, he felt that he had indeed been away for too long, long enough that ice cream was being sold under the Hulkâs name, and he had never received a cent in royalties.
Tony waved his hand indifferently. âWhatever. Things always changeâŠâ
Strange said, âOur oath wonât change, and we want to stop Thanos. Thatâs not the point.â
Tony asked, âThen whatâs the point?â
Strange looked at Luke, who was next to the tycoon.
Tony also turned around.
Luke stopped playing the bystander. âThe point is that since we have two Stones, we should choose a suitable battlefield.â
Tony raised an eyebrow. âWhere?â
Luke said, âWakanda.â
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 Wakandaâs covert intervention, there were no other populated areas for hundreds of kilometers.
In the end, it was the only country governed by superheroes.
King TâChalla had a good attitude toward the Justice League and the Avengers.
After misunderstanding Bucky, who had been framed by Colonel Zemo, TâChalla had invited the âretiredâ 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.
âŠ
A moment later, they walked through a portal and appeared dozens of kilometers away from Wakanda.
After receiving Lukeâs notification, TâChalla immediately picked them up on a private jet.
After they got off the jet, Dr. Banner was a little nervous. âShould we bow?â
Tony said, âHeâs a king.â
On the other side, TâChalla 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 couldnât help but bow.
Luke: âŠ
Strange: âŠ
Tony pulled him up in surprise. âHey, Banner, I was just kidding.â
Dr. Banner could only look aggrieved as he stared at the tycoon resentfully.
Tony hugged him with a smile. âLetâs go, letâs go. I just wanted you to loosen up a bit.â
Dr. Banner: âŠ
TâChalla simply nodded at everyone and gestured for them to enter the palace. âHow big an enemy force is it?â
Dr. Banner said, âToo big. Thanos has an entire space fleet.â
Luke added, âThey defeated the Nova Corps not long ago. Thatâs the main force of the Nova Empire, which has more than 10,000 fighter planes.â
