Rebirth in America - Chapter 421
c420 new iron man
New York streets in the 1970s.
There is a lot of traffic and a constant flow of people. All kinds of new gadgets will appear in this metropolis immediately. As long as you go to the streets, you can see many trend-setting fashion outfits.
Unlike in history, since the end of the Vietnam War and the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, American youth seem to have suddenly escaped from the confused stage. There are far fewer speeches and demonstrations on the streets than in previous years, and it is becoming calmer every year.
Even if there are similar gatherings, they are staged sit-ins against certain companies for oppressing workers, or marches and sit-ins against financial companies on Wall Street. As for the games played by the national government, there are very few, especially as the economic situation gets better and better, and the people’s welfare has also improved a lot.
More importantly, there were great changes in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The rune companies and rune seeds created by Alex have gradually spread from the upper class to the lower class people. Originally, only the rich and government officials had the opportunity to come into contact with the “Paradise Space”. At this time, it has been occupied by more and more civilians. Because in the space game, everyone is on the same starting line, the competition is also more intense. Fierce for fairness.
The emergence of the “Second World” of virtual games has greatly reduced various criminal behaviors in society, but there are still many people who have no seeds and still commit crimes in the real world.
In an alley, several gangsters of different skin colors surrounded a young black man. They planned to beat up the young black man and then loot his finances.
“Hey! Hand over your money and I’ll be gentler when I beat you up!” A guy with an afro threatened the young man arrogantly with a knife in his hand.
Another guy also laughed. He was wearing a pair of black sunglasses and teased: “That’s right! We will take good care of you!”
The others burst out laughing. As idle gangsters, they didn’t believe that they would become gentle when they hit someone. As for loving someone, that was a black talk among them.
The black young man was wearing plaid clothes and a pair of bell-bottom pants. His thick lips were trembling, knowing that this matter today was going to be difficult.
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded: “What are you doing? Let me join in and play?”
Everyone followed the sound and were shocked to find an iron man suspended in the air more than ten meters high. The shape looked very familiar, and similar news had been published in newspapers just a few years ago.
“Steel, Iron Man!” Sure enough, someone recognized it and exclaimed.
It is indeed Iron Man. Looking at the appearance and posture, it is exactly the same as the “Iron Man” in the comics. Apart from some constantly changing patterns, there is basically no difference.
Among these people, there are no seed users, but they also know that mysterious power really exists in this world. Since the establishment of Rune Technology Company, various strange phenomena have continued to appear. Some people even saw the emergence of vampires and werewolves, as well as some people with supernatural powers who unabashedly used their superpowers in front of people.
The newspaper called this change: “The establishment of Rune Technology represents the advent of the American Heroic Era!”
This is indeed the case. Since the seeds spread, more and more superhumans have appeared, and all kinds of things beyond common sense have continued to happen. There are even some advanced seed users who pretend to be heroes in comics and come out to maintain social order. As for those seed users who wanted to pose as super criminals, they were targeted by the government as soon as they emerged and were deprived of the right to use seeds, becoming completely abandoned by society.
However, those superheroes basically rely on super strength, agility and speed to fight criminals, which means their physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. It’s rare to see a character as powerful as Iron Man, and even if you have, it was several years ago.
When the gangsters saw Iron Man’s appearance, they immediately broke up and ran away. This gave the Iron Man a headache, but he still kept a few of the guys who looked very conspicuous, and then notified the police station to arrest them.
“Humph! You want to run away after meeting me, Iron Man? You are really looking for death!”
The Iron Man said as he drew his lightsaber and slashed at the caught gangsters. Although the scene looked terrible, with stars flying everywhere every time, in fact, those gangsters had nothing wrong with them. This lightsaber is a children’s toy launched by Rune Technology, but it was unexpectedly used by Iron Man as a weapon.
After a few chops, Yue Mo estimated that the police were coming soon.
Iron Man raised his hand and flew into the sky. No matter how grateful the rescued young man shouted, he left without looking back. However, when he was halfway through the flight, he suddenly found that he could not control the Iron Man armor, as if he was being controlled by someone.
“What’s going on? H-stop it!”
“Did something go wrong?”
“impossible!”
“How could there be something wrong with Alex’s brother’s things?”
“Someone must have discovered it!”
Iron Man kept flying in a certain direction. The people inside took a closer look and found that he was indeed flying towards his home. Suddenly, he stopped struggling and allowed the armor to fly with him.
Soon he flew to a building and landed on the open-air balcony of the building. Two people were waiting there, one of whom was Alex and the other was Karen.
“Hehe! Let me just tell you, brother Richard is quite upset at heart, and he actually stole brother Alex’s Iron Man armor to play with!” Karen put his hands on his hips and said very proudly: “What’s even more disgusting is, You don’t want to take me with you for such a fun thing! I’m really pissed off!”
The Iron Man armor automatically shrank into the shape of a box, revealing Richard inside. He looked ashamed, feeling a little embarrassed to face his brother and sister.
“How did you activate my armor?” Alex didn’t care what Richard was thinking, he was more concerned about why his brother was able to activate the armor. Logically speaking, even seed users have been strictly restricted and cannot produce similar ripple energy.
Soon, he saw it. There is a familiar energy in Richard’s body, which is ripple energy, and after being cultivated by seeds, it has become quite powerful.
In the past few years, Richard and Karen have successively surpassed the black iron level and entered the bronze level. Limitations Richard is Bronze 2 and Karen is Bronze 5. The reason why the two of them were able to rise so quickly was partly because Alex developed two sets of exercises based on their physiques, and they could practice several times faster than normal.
Another reason is that the Carpenter brothers and sisters have an ever-increasing number of fans around the world, providing them with huge telepathic powers every moment. If the quality of telekinesis hadn’t been inferior to Mao Yangyang’s, maybe the two of them would have reached the silver level long ago.
After all, most people just love singers and movie stars, and only a few will become extremely worshipful. Such people can provide high-quality telekinesis, and even the power of faith.
With so much help, Richard and Karen can level up even while lying down, but they have almost reached their level bottleneck. Because the energy required for each level up is almost 10 times the total energy consumed before! As the geometric levels increase in this way, if there is not enough energy source, basically no one can cross the boundary between humans and gods and reach the silver level.
According to Alex’s estimation, neither Richard nor Karen should be able to surpass this limit, unless there are new ways to increase the number of their fans and create some topics from time to time to attract everyone’s attention.
“Maybe Iron Man is a good idea!” Alex said to himself.
Richard and Karen were confused by the nonsense and asked: “What’s a good idea?”
Alex glared at his younger brother and said, “Who did you learn this ripple qigong from? Was it a Chinese veteran? Did he say anything when he taught you?”
Richard scratched his head and UUReading www.uukanshu.net smiled: “It was an old Taoist who taught me. He told me that if you ask, just tell the truth.”
“Oh? What does he want to tell me?” Alex looked at Richard with a half-smile.
He thought to himself that the old man was quite knowledgeable and knew that he could not hide this kind of thing. If he is willing, he can mobilize the World Tree to go back to the past and see who is plotting against him.
Richard recounted Lao Dao’s words truthfully, which roughly meant that Lao Dao had misjudged the situation and let a Guardian heir go, instead of handing over his true ability to Alex. Lao Dao felt deeply regretful afterwards. Now that the old Taoist saw that Richard had good qualifications, he was so happy that he accepted him as his apprentice.
Alex listened with a smile, but in his heart he despised the old way. It was obvious that Lao Dao wanted to invest in the Carpenter family. The original investment from Lao Dao was too little, and it was obtained by Jonathan and his wife in exchange for favors. Alex had only practiced some rudimentary breathing techniques.
The so-called Ripple Breathing Method and Ripple Qigong are two completely different concepts. One is a very basic abridged version, which can at most be used as an introductory exercise. As for Ripple Qigong, it is the essence of the immortal cultivation method. After losing the mysterious source of power of the moon, Lao Dao and others can still use rune seeds to replace it as energy.
This kind of thing has some effect for now. When human society completely turns to rune technology, both Eastern immortality and Western magic will have to change with the development of the times. RS
