Chapter 1031: Going Home
As Lin Rui observed Tony’s changing expression, he began to piece together some clues. It was evident that Tony hadn’t developed the nano suit yet. However, if it wasn’t the nano suit, Lin Rui couldn’t fathom what kind of upgrades Tony’s suit had.
“Well, I know I guessed wrong. If it’s not the nano suit, then what kind of upgrade is it?” Without letting Tony feel too embarra.s.sed, Lin Rui promptly asked, providing him with an opportunity to elaborate.
“It’s a semi-lifeform mechanical suit.” Aware that Lin Rui was giving him an opening, Tony didn’t tease any further and gave a direct response.
Upon hearing Tony’s answer, the gleam in Lin Rui’s eyes, which had just dimmed, reignited. While Lin Rui had been eagerly antic.i.p.ating the nano suit, Tony’s mention of the semi-lifeform mechanical suit was enough to pique his interest.
Furthermore, the technology that fused lifeform and machinery wasn’t far behind nanotechnology. Therefore, Lin Rui was genuinely curious about the nature of the semi-lifeform mechanical suit Tony had mentioned.
After Tony finished his response, Lin Rui eagerly awaited for Tony to have JARVIS present his semi-lifeform mechanical suit. However, Tony remained motionless.
“So, are you going to show it to me?” Finally, Lin Rui couldn’t resist and asked.
Upon hearing Lin Rui’s question, Tony’s eyes involuntarily flickered, and a slight smile formed at the corners of his mouth. It seemed that he was quite pleased with Lin Rui’s reaction.
“Why, haven’t you noticed the suit on me?” Without letting Lin Rui remain puzzled for too long, Tony continued to inquire.
With his words, Tony had already stood up from the sofa. However, at this moment, he was casually dressed and didn’t seem to be wearing any kind of suit.
“The suit on you?” Although it was invisible to the naked eye, after Tony’s reminder, Lin Rui’s attention shifted to his attire.
As Lin Rui muttered to himself, he released his Psychic Power, and his Insight Technique quietly scanned Tony.
Because Lin Rui couldn’t see what kind of suit Tony was wearing with his naked eye. However, since Tony said so, there must be something on him.
Humming~
When Lin Rui unleashed his Psychic Power and activated Insight Technique to scan Tony, Tony, who stood still, seemed to sense something. His eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn’t make any movements.
Tony could feel Lin Rui’s Psychic Power because Lin Rui didn’t deliberately conceal it. Otherwise, with Lin Rui’s current control over Psychic Power, even if Tony had a keen sense in this regard, he shouldn’t have felt anything.
“Hmm?” Just as Lin Rui’s Psychic Power and Insight Technique swept over Tony, he suddenly let out a surprised sound.
From the scan results of the Psychic Power and Insight Technique, there was indeed an invisible suit on Tony. Moreover, Lin Rui could clearly sense that this suit possessed formidable energy.
Upon discovering the existence of the suit on Tony, Lin Rui quickly retracted his Psychic Power. It would be better to let Tony explain about this suit that could turn invisible.
“Judging by your expression, you’ve probably already noticed, right?” After Lin Rui retracted his Psychic Power, Tony timely spoke up.
Although Tony was confident in the hidden feature of his newly invented semi-lifeform mechanical suit, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think that he could evade the magical scanning ability of Lin Rui’s Psychic Power.
Tony had known about Psychic Power, a fascinating ability, long ago. He had even asked Lin Rui to cooperate with him in researching this extraordinary Psychic Power.
However, apart from slightly more active brainwaves, Tony hadn’t detected any scanning ability. Thus, Tony gave up on it.
“Well, it’s truly amazing! Perhaps your semi-lifeform mechanical suit won’t be too far behind the nano suit!” Upon hearing Tony’s words, Lin Rui nodded seriously.
Nanotechnology was still in the research stage, and even Tony couldn’t perfect the upgrades in nanotechnology in a short period.
Moreover, besides nanotechnology, Tony had many other things that required his time and effort for research and experimentation.
Tony was an extremely proud individual, and except for a few people he recognized, he held a disdainful att.i.tude toward other geniuses in the world of science.
Otherwise, Stark Industries could recruit other genius scientists with similar technological prowess to a.s.sist him. But then again, weren’t all top geniuses like this? They would change the world with the power of a single person.
“Compared to nanotechnology, the semi-lifeform mechanical technology does have some shortcomings. However, nano suits… the current technology hasn’t reached that level yet.” Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Tony’s pride diminished.
“Alright, it’s time for you to see how my latest upgrades really perform!” Without dwelling too much on nanotechnology, Tony continued, activating his semi-lifeform mechanical suit.
Whoosh~
In the next moment, Tony standing before Lin Rui emitted a red glow, and in Lin Rui’s eyes, reflected a series of dazzling lights.
After spending a long time chatting with Tony at Stark Industries headquarters, Lin Rui finally left and headed home.
Although Tony had made JARVIS mimic Lin Rui’s voice and call his family during the time Lin Rui was missing, his prolonged absence had still worried his family.
Especially during the recent Dark Elf invasion when even Iron Man joined the battle, it further heightened the concerns of Lin Rui’s family.
Therefore, when Lin Rui returned to his residential complex driving Tony’s luxurious sports car, he once again attracted the attention of his nosy neighbors.
Amidst the flurry of inquiries and compliments, Lin Rui quickly made his way back to his home, which he hadn’t visited in nearly a month. Since Lin Rui had video-called his parents earlier, they were both at home when he returned.
“Jackson!”
Whoosh~
As Lin Rui stepped through the front door, his father, Lin Hai, joyfully called out and hugged him. Having such a successful son, Lin Hai, as a father, felt even prouder in front of others.
However, the workload at Stark Industries was indeed exhausting. His son was only seventeen years old, yet they hadn’t seen each other for almost a month.
“Dad!” Lin Rui tightly hugged his father as well.
Later, he embraced his mother, who quickly approached him. It was because of the support from these loving family members that Lin Rui held onto his belief in safeguarding the world.
“Are you tired? You’ve been saying that you’ve been busy in the lab with Ai. Stark Industries is the best high-tech company, but the work in the lab must be exhausting.” After the embrace, Marie carefully examined her beloved son and asked with a concerned tone.
