Sir, if you find out, what do you plan to do?"
Jarvis, however, asked Tony Stark such a sharp question.
Even if Tony Stark was arrogant and conceited, he understood that the mastermind behind it was not someone he could deal with at the moment.
When his parents were murdered, their status, social influence, and all other aspects were superior to his own.
Yet, they were still murdered.
How much more so for his current self?
Facing an enemy of this caliber, relying on conventional methods like the police, Military, or FBI would be completely useless.
What's more,
what Tony Stark wanted was not for the mastermind to be brought to justice.
He wanted them to die!
And this was not something Tony Stark could achieve right now.
So, after much thought, it seemed there was only one way!
Superheroes!
Only by possessing extraordinary power, like the superheroes recorded in the diary, could he accomplish all of this!
"So, what kind of power does Iron Man possess?"
"Controlling metal?"
Tony Stark fell into deep thought.
Literally speaking,
the words "Iron Man" indeed implied someone with the ability to control metal.
But how could a person acquire such an ability?
It's a pity if there were more records in the diary.
"By the way, Sir, a quick reminder."
"The day after tomorrow is when the Military will present you with the Extremis Prize."
Jarvis's voice rang out again, interrupting Tony Stark's thoughts.
The day after tomorrow?
Tony Stark raised his eyebrows slightly.
According to the diary, the day of the Extremis Prize presentation was an important time node!
Has it finally arrived?
"Is the Ten Rings Gang still quiet?"
Tony Stark asked Jarvis with a serious expression, confirming his query.
"Sir, no discoveries have been made yet."
Jarvis's answer did not surprise Tony Stark.
If Jarvis had found anything, he wouldn't have waited for him to ask; he would have told him already.
So...
What kind of conspiracy was the Ten Rings Gang brewing, to be so secretive and watertight?
Even as the day of his kidnapping approached, they showed no signs?
How was that possible?
Kidnapping someone of his status and position would certainly involve a series of actions behind it.
It couldn't be without a trace!
The Ten Rings Gang wasn't some intelligence agency like S.H.I.E.L.D.; did they have such capability?
What Tony Stark would never have imagined was that the Ten Rings Gang had actually already made their move.
They had already met with Obadiah Stane multiple times, and the specific time and location of the operation had all been determined.
The combat plan, retreat plan, and a series of other plans had all been finalized.
The only problem was...
The Ten Rings Gang still didn't know that their target was Tony Stark!
It wasn't until after the kidnapping was completed that they discovered Tony Stark's true identity.
Even Obadiah Stane's request was to kill, not to kidnap.
The kidnapping was a last-minute decision by the Ten Rings Gang.
Under these circumstances,
no matter how capable Jarvis was, how could he find out?
After all, the Ten Rings Gang genuinely hadn't planned to kidnap Tony Stark!
...
"The fifteenth diary entry is complete!"
"I wonder what kind of reward the Supreme God will give me this time?"
Unlike Tony Stark's anger and confusion,
Zhou Cheng now looked incredibly excited, as if he had won a million-dollar lottery.
His eyes, fixed on the diary, sparkled with light.
Nothing else.
According to the rules set by the Supreme God, Zhou Cheng could receive a reward every time he completed fifteen consecutive diary entries.
Just now, Zhou Cheng had reached this milestone!
[diary update quantity reached the target.]
[Congratulations to Zhou Cheng, the Master of the diary, for receiving a random gift package!]
Indeed.
In the next moment,
such a prompt immediately sounded in Zhou Cheng's mind.
Swish!
A ray of light immediately burst forth from the diary, darting into Zhou Cheng's body.
Then it vanished.
As if nothing had ever happened.
Zhou Cheng was slightly startled, caught off guard by the light.
But then he became infinitely expectant.
This time's reward was different from the last.
It seemed to be of a higher caliber!
And immediately,
a corresponding piece of information appeared in Zhou Cheng's mind.
[Item: Indestructible Body]
[Attribute: Physique]
[Source: Calabash Brothers Plane]
[Detailed Description: The Indestructible Body of Third Calabash Brother among the seven Calabash Brothers, a body as hard as steel, impervious to knives, guns, arrows, and cannons.]
"Holy cow, this is awesome, this thing is awesome!"
After a quick mental review, Zhou Cheng immediately became restless.
Indestructible Body!
This was a good thing!
What is an Indestructible Body?
To translate it into Marvel Comics language, isn't this a Steel Body!
It's the standard for top-tier superheroes like Thor, Captain Marvel, Superman, Aquaman, and so on.
It's both practical and impressive.
After all, if you're a superhero and still have to painstakingly dodge bullets, it's a bit low-class.
To be frank,
with this, Zhou Cheng truly had the capital to establish himself in Marvel.
He truly had the power to protect himself!
Otherwise,
no matter how skilled he was with his wings, one bullet would bring him to his knees.
This was also the fundamental reason why Zhou Cheng only dared to pick on some obscure soft targets when harvesting origin points last time.
But now it's different.
Zhou Cheng's weakness of high offense and low defense could be said to have been compensated by the diary.
Now, Zhou Cheng had both offense and defense.
It could be said that he basically had no obvious weaknesses.
Even without other enhancements, in his current state, he was sufficient to deal with most crises.
"This reward truly pleases me!"
"Let me experience this Indestructible Body!"
Zhou Cheng, impatient, rushed to the mirror and immediately stripped off his outer clothing.
Oh boy!
With just one glance, Zhou Cheng almost exclaimed "Oh boy!"
Is that guy in the mirror really me?
Look at that powerful, steel-forged body.
Look at those sexy pectorals, look at those well-defined eight-pack abs!
Awesome!
Zhou Cheng could be sure.
With this almost perfect body, going out would definitely cause screams.
He went to the kitchen, grabbed a dinner knife, and with a swift motion, struck his arm.
Clang!
It actually made a sound like metal clashing.
Upon closer inspection, there was not even a scratch, let alone any wound.
"Not bad!"
"Truly worthy of being the Indestructible Body!"
Zhou Cheng was beyond satisfied.
