600 million US dollars!
For ordinary people, this is an astonishing figure, a huge fortune that they might not even dream of.
But for Tony, anything that can be solved with money isn't really a problem.
Being able to buy back his life for 600 million US dollars is a very worthwhile deal.
Russell put the cashier's check back into the envelope, pulled open a drawer, and tossed the envelope inside.
This 600 million US dollars was also a considerable fortune for him.
But it wasn't enough to shock him.
As soon as he put the envelope in the drawer, Peter, who had been taken out by Happy, returned to the office, his young face full of curiosity.
"Sir, was that Tony Stark just now?"
Peter asked with some disbelief.
"Yes, what about it?"
"Was he here for a case?"
Peter quickly asked.
"No, he was here to pay."
Russell answered Peter while taking out his wallet and removing all the cash inside.
"You've been interning at the office for several days now, this is your salary for this week."
He gestured to Peter, motioning him to come closer, and handed him all the cash in his hand.
The weekly payment system is prevalent in the United States.
Although Peter hadn't worked for a full week yet, Russell didn't mind paying him this week's salary in advance.
"Sir, no, I can't take it!"
Looking at the cash Russell offered, Peter shook his head and said.
The cash Russell gave him wasn't a small amount; a quick glance showed it was several thousand.
For Peter, who usually had very little pocket money, this was undoubtedly a huge sum.
"Take it, you've earned it. Didn't you like Lego? The Death Star and Millennium Falcon are out, go buy one."
"Also, buy yourself a new phone so it's easier to get in touch."
"As for the extra money, you can give it to your aunt. You don't want her to work so hard, do you?"
Russell ignored Peter's refusal and stuffed the money into his hand.
Although Peter was very smart, he was still too young and completely lacked social experience.
Especially after hearing that the money could help his aunt work less hard, the sensible boy finally accepted the cash Russell offered.
"Thank you, sir!"
After putting the cash away, Peter said to Russell with a serious expression.
"You're welcome, I told you, you've earned it."
"Alright, there's nothing else for today, you can go back now."
Little Peter nodded, packed up the SLR camera and lens on the table, and left the office with his backpack.
Standing by the window, watching Peter board the bus, Russell opened the system.
"Reward: Endosym Armor!"
"Receive immediately?"
This was the fourth reward he had received, and the first equipment-type reward.
The previous three rewards, once the activation conditions were met, were sent down immediately without asking if he wanted to receive them.
Without even thinking, he chose to receive it immediately.
As soon as he made his choice, the system information floating before his eyes disappeared.
The next second, a silver-white cylindrical container about a meter in diameter appeared out of thin air in front of him.
This...
Describing it as a cylinder might not be entirely accurate.
More accurately, it was a high-tech container filled with fully intelligent liquid metal that had not yet transformed into the Endosym Armor.
Looking at the cylinder-like container in front of him, Russell frowned slightly.
Previous rewards, whether it was Wonder Woman's blessing or the Venom symbiote, directly modified and enhanced his body, completely eliminating the need to consider storage issues.
But the Endosym Armor reward was a bit different.
This wasn't some supernatural ability, but a tangible high-tech iron suit.
Although the Endosym Armor, made of fully intelligent liquid metal, was very convenient to wear, it wasn't suitable for 24-hour wear, no matter how convenient.
More importantly, how to store the armor was also a problem.
Just as he was considering whether to send both the Endosym Armor and the container to his secret safe house, the system sent another message.
"Equipment-type reward detected, system subspace activated!"
Uh...
Is the system this considerate now?
Looking at the message from the system, Russell was stunned for a moment.
Compared to other fellow transmigrators, his system was clearly a very aloof guy; it would never appear unless there was something important.
But now, the aloof system was showing a considerate side.
It didn't take him much effort to figure out what the system's built-in subspace was all about.
Simply put, it was a storage space that came with the system.
Besides storing various equipment rewarded by the system, it could also be used to store other items.
The only drawback was that it couldn't store living things.
After understanding the system space, Russell's gaze once again fell on the silver-white container in front of him.
He raised his right hand, and with a thought, the fully intelligent liquid metal in the container flew towards him.
In just the blink of an eye, his right arm was covered by the armor.
Looking at his right arm, which was already covered by the armor, Russell showed a satisfied smile.
As expected of the new armor created by the evil Tony through research on symbiotes, it really is different!
After feeling the armor on his right arm, he didn't hesitate and once again activated the accompanying weak telepathy, making the liquid metal in the container fly towards him.
The silver-white fully intelligent liquid metal flew onto him like tentacles of various sizes, transforming according to the set program.
In just two or three seconds, he was fully clad in the Endosym Armor.
Pulse cannons in the palms, a unibeam in the chest.
The Endosym Armor currently only had these two conventional weapon systems.
But the potential of the armor made of liquid metal was clearly more than this.
As long as there was a suitable engineer, even if the Endosym Armor wasn't the Mark 50 or Mark 85 made of nanotech, it still had considerable transformation abilities.
Although the evil Tony in the comics didn't make the armor transform into too many weapons, it didn't mean he would use the Endosym Armor entirely in the evil Tony's way.
Although the Endosym Armor could be activated and controlled through telepathy, the armor was still equipped with an artificial intelligence system.
Not Jarvis, nor Friday!
The evil Tony hadn't named the armor's artificial intelligence system.
After some thought, Russell named the armor's artificial intelligence 'Number 3'.
It wasn't a fancy name, just a simple Number 3.
As for why he chose such a simple name, the reason was simple: the Endosym Armor reminded him of the Extremis Virus 3.0.
After getting used to the Endosym Armor, Russell changed the transparent, hair-uncovered helmet back to its normal form.
He wasn't like the evil Tony, who was extremely narcissistic.
Showing his face in public didn't fit his usual "low-key" style.
