Due to Tony's last-minute decision, the press conference went out of control, and Coulson and Rhode tacitly chose to interrupt it.
Otherwise, who knows what bombshell Tony would drop next!
Victor also agreed with this.
Tony exposing Iron Man's identity was within acceptable limits, but if he casually mentioned his 'Superman' identity as well, that would be a bit troublesome.
Victor had no desire to be the center of attention; the feeling of being gawked at while just walking down the street was not pleasant.
With this incident, Coulson naturally had no time to take Victor's statement.
As an apology.
Coulson directly dispatched a helicopter, intending to send Victor and Tony home first to avoid the commotion.
"No, I'm not going back right now." Victor shrugged, "Tony, you were too fast. I can still make it to the league of legends press conference."
Hearing this, Wanda's small face flushed slightly. What did he mean by 'too fast'?
Tony squinted at Victor, his voice drawling, "I remember there's an 'Iron Man' prototype in there, right? Kid, I haven't signed the authorization yet."
The threat was palpable.
Victor, however, was unfazed, and even invited, "Want to come along? There are a lot of reporters outside, we can bring them over to give me some free publicity."
Tony's mouth twitched.
You really are completely shameless!
However.
This casual attitude actually pleased Tony, and although he said, "This will cost a hefty endorsement fee," he was already walking towards the underground garage.
So.
The reporters at the press conference received a new notification: the latest news about Iron Man would be released at another hotel—Riot Games (Fist Company) in this world was also in Santa Monica; Victor had even sunbathed on the beach there before.
To accommodate the sole shareholder, the press conference was conveniently arranged at a hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
When Victor and Tony, leading a large group of reporters, stormed into the press conference, Felicia was quite caught off guard.
The rented hall already had many game channel reporters, and now with so many more, it was simply too crowded.
Changing halls, re-decorating, increasing the quantity of the post-conference buffet, and so on—if it weren't for the experienced Pepper assisting her, Felicia might not have been able to handle it calmly.
Meanwhile, the willful Victor and Tony spent the entire time chatting idly in a hotel room, unbelievably relaxed.
After the press conference resumed, all the previously prepared procedures were scrapped. Instead, Victor, Tony, and Wanda, along with 7 reporters who had familiarized themselves with the game beforehand, played a live game with 10 players.
Wanda chose the Dark Sovereign "Syndra"—this perfectly fit her 'ball girl (nickname for syndra)' image.
Tony, the show-off, naturally chose his exclusive hero Iron Man "Tony Stark"—this was a hero reworked by the Machine Herald "Victor."
Q Skill · [Laser Ray]: Fires a laser from the wrist; after upgrading, it can briefly accelerate and activate a shield.
W Skill · [Gravity Device]: Places a gravity field that can stun enemy targets within the field; after upgrading, it can pull them to the center.
E Skill · [Laser Barrage]: Sweeps lasers from the wrist; after upgrading, the laser's trajectory can cause a secondary explosion.
R Skill · [Missile Barrage]: Releases a large number of missiles from the body to perform a saturation bombardment on the target, capable of interrupting continuous skills.
As for Iron Man's original artwork, it was also a 1:1 replica of the Mk-3, and the original drawing was even provided by Tony himself.
Victor was equally unwilling to be outdone.
The "Superman," modeled after the Colossus "Galio," was also very powerful.
Q Skill · [Heat Ray]: Fires Heat Ray from both eyes, causing an explosion in a small area, followed by high-temperature burning.
W Skill · [Iron Body]: Reduces damage taken during channeling; releasing again can taunt enemy units within range to auto-attack him.
E Skill · [Justice Charge]: After a brief retreat to charge, dashes forward and knocks up enemy units along the way.
R Skill · [Justice Descent]: Selects a friendly hero within a certain range, and after several seconds of charging, can fly to the teammate's side, dealing knock-up and damage to enemy units in a small area.
The hero's image was precisely that of Superman without his underwear worn outside.
Furthermore.
When in accelerated state, Superman and Iron Man would be in a magnificent flying state, and Tony's "Iron Man" even used energy jets for basic attacks.
The art style was clearly superior to other heroes, not to mention perfectly aligning with the two protagonists of yesterday's "super crime incident." Yet, both Tony and Victor refused to offer further explanations.
No explanation is good!
Without a direct explanation, they, the reporters, had room to play! Immediately, reporters began writing furiously, improvising and fabricating countless versions of the story on the spot.
While controlling his hero, Victor glanced with his super-vision, and the content was as outlandish as a Xuanhuan story.
However, he was happy to see this.
These reporters were very sensible; every article mentioned that the material originated from the game "league of legends." He believed that after the news was released tomorrow, almost everyone in America would know about this game.
Coupled with the more exquisite art style than before, and Iron Man—Tony Stark's "game endorsement," this competitive game, which was globally popular in his previous life, would sweep across America in a short time.
The key is!
Victor didn't spend a single cent on this free publicity!!
Just as he was thinking happily, the computer suddenly announced "First Blood," and the Iron Man avatar above the minimap in the bottom right turned gray.
He glanced at the time in the top right corner: 02:15.
Tony gave up First Blood a bit too quickly!
But it was normal; Tony was playing this game for the first time, so being a bit of a noob was excusable.
With the confidence of "this many kills don't matter, I can carry," Victor began to focus on the game. As a jungler, he had no intention of helping Tony.
Junglers help the strong, not the weak. Doesn't he have that basic common sense?
It wasn't until Tony's score was "0/8/0," having died so many times he was considered a 'super ghost,' that Victor couldn't take it anymore.
No.
Reporter who's laning against Tony, do you have any sense? Consistently solo-killing the future richest man in America like this, do you want your journalistic career to end right here?
This cannot be tolerated!
Victor controlled his Superman and moved towards the top lane, casually opening the enemy top laner Master Yi's item tab.
Oh, damn! A 10-stack Sword of the Occult?! At 13 minutes into the game?!
Victor then looked at Wanda's mid lane ball girl (nickname for syndra), her Mejai's Soulstealer already at 14 stacks.
Without needing to think much, ignoring Tony's frantic calls for help, Victor turned and walked to the mid lane. After successfully killing the enemy mid laner Ryze again, Tony in the top lane was once again tower-dived and killed by Master Yi… Tsk tsk.
Who would have thought that a Genius like Tony would be an esports noob? Now he had another way to keep him in check.
You're not convinced, are you?
Come, let's SOLO!

PS: Haha, after league of legends, every Avenger and villain will have a corresponding character, so I wrote a bit more. Also, ranks reset on the 25th. Are there any friends on Laserguard who want to queue up?
