The Science Summit in Los Angeles was in full swing.
During the summit's communication sessions, Andy encountered many powerful scientific research experts, and their research achievements left him amazed.
Of course, there were also many charlatan experts who weren't very capable but boasted endlessly.
Initially, Andy even specifically met with a few such individuals, thinking they were like Reed Richards—down-on-their-luck scholars who couldn't secure enough research funding. However, their performance left Andy greatly disappointed.
Anti-matter warp drives, dark matter spacecraft—these people talked a mile a minute.
It seemed as if they could immediately build these things if only the funding was in place.
But when asked about their professional knowledge, they would stammer and ramble, jumping from quantum mechanics to parallel Worlds in a jumbled mess.
Did they really think he only specialized in biotechnology and didn't understand other fields?
After sending away those charlatan experts, Andy felt irritable and wanted to go for a walk to clear his mind. In the observation area on the hotel's rooftop, Andy saw Tony Stark, who was also there to relax.
The difference was that, compared to Andy, who was alone, Tony Stark was sitting next to a woman with a stunning figure and beautiful face.
Andy found the woman familiar; she seemed to be a Playboy cover model from some issue, and her name sounded like Maria.
"Come on ~ Cheers!"
Tony Stark raised his glass and drank with Maria, the golden liquid sloshing in the cup.
"May I join you two?"
Andy smiled, swirling the wine glass in his hand.
Under the sunlight, the whiskey in Andy's hand shimmered with a golden glow.
Looking at Andy, who inexplicably wanted to join them, Tony Stark frowned in annoyance and said:
"Oh ~ Alright!
Is the boss of Orokin Technology looking for me for something? Do you need me to invest in your research project?"
Tony Stark raised an eyebrow and said mockingly:
"Ha ~ Orokin Technology went bankrupt? I'll acquire your company at a fair price."
Facing Tony Stark's sarcasm, Andy shrugged indifferently.
Clink!
Andy clinked his glass against Tony Stark's, producing a crisp sound.
The whiskey was drunk in one gulp.
"Miss Maria, I have something to discuss with Mr. Stark. Would you mind excusing us for a moment?
Later, I'll give you a set of Orokin's latest beauty products."
Hearing Andy's words,
Whether it was out of respect for Andy or for Orokin's beauty products, Maria quickly got up and left.
Tony Stark regretfully watched Maria's swaying figure depart, then turned back to Andy with some impatience and said fiercely:
"Mr. Andy, now it's just the two of us. Tell me what you want to talk about!
If you interrupted my date with Maria for some trivial matter, I swear I'll shove your head up your ass!"
"Oh? Then you probably won't ever be able to do that. After all, your body looks terrible."
Andy said with a hint of mockery.
"I came to you because I encountered an energy problem during my research. So, I wanted to consult with you, an energy expert who can build a cold fusion reactor, on how to create a portable energy device?"
With that, Andy sent his concept for an energy device to the computer in front of him.
Although Tony Stark's foul mouth was annoying, it had to be admitted that he was a true genius, and he was the one who understood how to respect knowledge the most.
While he looked down on those other so-called experts, Tony Stark had to take Andy seriously, as he was a super genius who could stand alongside him.
Despite his impatience, Tony Stark still carefully examined Andy's concept drawing for the energy device and began to ponder the problem Andy posed. The sense of accomplishment from slightly outperforming Andy, and the pleasure of dating a woman, simply couldn't compare.
Now, a super genius who was his equal was asking him for help. Although the problem this super genius was asking him about wasn't his specialized field, who cared about that?
Being outdone by him meant that he was stronger than him.
He definitely had to announce this news to the media when he got back.
In the future, only Tony Stark himself would appear in the news, and no one would ever again put Andy on par with him.
Realizing his thoughts were straying, Tony Stark quickly reined them in and seriously recalled everything he had learned.
The best energy source was undoubtedly nuclear energy, but cold fusion technology was Stark Industries' top secret, so it was absolutely impossible to give it to Andy.
As for other energy sources...
Electrical energy... batteries? Yes, batteries.
Tony Stark suddenly thought of the car batteries in his sports cars.
A battery itself is a small energy device. Of course, the smaller the volume, the less electrical energy the battery can store. Moreover, in the energy device concept drawing Andy gave him, the device was only palm-sized. For such a small capacity to contain enormous energy, he had to think carefully.
Andy sat on the sofa, swirling his wine glass, smiling as he watched Tony Stark. Sitting in front of him was the smartest man in the World; with a clear goal, he could create the most astonishing technology in the World.
Tony Stark, who was being stared at, felt awkward all over and yelled angrily at Andy:
"Hey! Don't look at me like a bull in heat! If you can't control yourself, there's a gay bar outside!"
Andy burst into laughter at his exasperated appearance. He hadn't expected that the famous Tony Stark, who lived under the spotlight every day, would be so irritated by his persistent gaze.
Although Andy had done it on purpose, being treated as gay was indeed not something to be happy about, especially when that person was Tony Stark, who dared to say anything.
Shrugging, Andy left the sofa and continued to relax, leaving Tony Stark alone on the sofa, deep in thought over the computer.
Leaving the observation area,
a cocktail party was being held at the end of the corridor.
Maria, who had just been on a date with Tony Stark, was talking with several beautiful women, holding wine glasses.
"Miss Maria, my business is concluded, but Tony Stark seems to be thinking about something. You might have to reschedule your date with him for tomorrow."
Andy casually took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and lightly clinked it with Maria's glass.
"As for the beauty products I promised you earlier, you can tell me what you like, and I'll have them specially customized for you."
Andy's words surprised Maria. She had thought Andy would give her a limited edition beauty device, but instead, Andy told her she could choose any product, and it would be a special custom-made item from Orokin Technology.
It was known that only regular versions of Orokin Technology products were available on the market, and even limited editions were rarely seen.
Not to mention the special custom-made items, which only Orokin Technology executives could access. Maria had only seen such designs in conceptual videos of Orokin Technology products.
Looking at Maria's excited expression and the beautiful women who looked at her enviously,
Andy smiled.
This was the normal expression people should have!
It was truly a miracle that a foul-mouthed person like Tony Stark had lived this long; he should thank his parents for leaving him a vast inheritance. Otherwise, with his foul mouth, he would definitely have been beaten to death. That guy's mouth was too foul and too annoying.
Wandering leisurely through the cocktail party, occasionally greeting acquaintances and chatting for a few moments, Andy's mood completely relaxed.
As for Tony Stark, who was still in the observation area contemplating improvements to the energy device, Andy had long since forgotten him completely.
