Tony had just rushed over to stop Norbert when he saw Norbert raise its long neck and then blast a stream of fire into the sky.
Seeing Norbert's display, Tony realized that he had been tricked by Chen Yu, that mischievous brat!
Seeing Norbert's display, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems my clone and Suigintou have trained Norbert quite well; it already knows not to randomly breathe fire at people."
Within the Serenitea Pot, Chen Yu held supreme authority, the highest status. Next was Suigintou, who was deeply favored by Chen Yu. Last was the mischievous, troublemaking Norbert.
Although Suigintou couldn't temporarily defeat the thick-skinned Norbert, whenever Suigintou confided in the clone in the Serenitea Pot about Norbert bullying her again, Norbert would invariably receive a severe beating from the clone.
It was the kind where Norbert would be held in mid-air and directly thrashed with a tree branch.
Even the thick-skinned Norbert would howl in pain.
To resist the terrifying rule of the great demon king Chen Yu, Norbert had rebelled many times, but was never a match for Chen Yu's clone.
After many beatings, even Norbert had to realize that it couldn't cause trouble at will in the Serenitea Pot.
Later, as Norbert grew larger, and fearing that it would become increasingly disobedient, the clone in the Serenitea Pot also focused on training Norbert.
Suigintou found it very interesting and also joined the team training Norbert, responsible for supervising the entire Serenitea Pot to prevent Norbert from damaging buildings within it.
Norbert was forbidden from casually breathing fire and burning trees, and forbidden from arbitrarily attacking other living animals within the Serenitea Pot.
Only when it was hungry was it allowed to chase chickens and hunt across the mountains and fields.
As Norbert grew larger, its appetite also began to become exaggerated, consuming dozens of kilograms of food every day.
This meant the clone had to use the Art of Food Creation to spend magic creating two pieces of magical black bread for it to eat every day, otherwise, if it only hunted, the entire Serenitea Pot would be in an uproar with chickens and dogs flying everywhere.
Chen Yu had to admit that he initially thought the Art of Food Creation was a useless skill provided by the system, but it turned out to be a divine skill for raising Norbert, this big eater.
【Art of Food Creation】
【Skill Introduction: A magic from "World of Warcraft." Players can use magic to synthesize two pieces of magical black bread for themselves and their allies to eat and stave off hunger, replenishing a small amount of their vitality. These foods will disappear one day after being created by the player.】
The 'stave off hunger' mentioned above was literal; the more magic Chen Yu invested, the stronger the feeling of fullness from eating the black bread, and the more vitality was replenished.
In addition, the black bread made with the Art of Food Creation also had the effect of replenishing Norbert's vitality, and despite frequent feeding, Norbert never showed any signs of malnutrition.
There was also the magic-infused glacial water made with the Water-Making Spell, which had the effect of replenishing a small amount of magic points, and this was Norbert's favorite water to drink.
Sometimes, to get chicken blood brandy mixed with glacial water, it would even act spoiled and cute on the ground, revealing its soft belly for Chen Yu and Suigintou to pet.
Under this combination of 'carrot and stick,' Norbert not only became much more sensible but also grew much faster than the Norwegian Ridgeback described in "raising dragons for fun and profit."
Norbert, not even half a year old, could not only steadily breathe fire but also briefly glide in the air using its wings.
"Norbert, lie down!"
"Norbert, spin!"
"Norbert, play dead!"
As Chen Yu continuously gave commands.
Norbert wagged its tail, panted, and skillfully performed every command Chen Yu issued.
Watching the large dragon in front of him obey Chen Yu's commands like a dog, Tony also felt a little antsy, so he commanded Norbert: "Norbert, play dead!"
Norbert heard Tony's voice, stopped wagging its tail, and looked at Tony as if he were an idiot, then spat a puff of flame to the side with a "Pfft" sound.
Then it continued to look at Chen Yu, wagging its tail, waiting for Chen Yu's next command.
Seeing Norbert completely ignore him, Tony awkwardly shifted his gaze: "Ahem, Chen Yu, now is not the time to play. Quickly put Norbert away, or it will be hard to explain if someone sees it."
You casually tell reporters you're Iron Man, and you're afraid of people knowing about a mere dragon?
Looking at Tony, who was awkwardly changing the subject, Chen Yu could only put Norbert, who clearly hadn't had enough fun and wanted to keep playing for a while, back into the Serenitea Pot.
Oh well, important matters first.
It's better to remove the arc reactor from the Iron Monger first.
Under Tony's direction, Chen Yu followed Tony's instructions and removed the reactor from Iron Monger's chest.
Holding the still-hot arc reactor, Chen Yu wanted to hand it to Tony.
But Tony refused.
"You hold onto the reactor for now. I'll carry Obadiah. Once we're downstairs, we'll find Pepper and have her help me replace the reactor."
After speaking, he slung the unconscious Obadiah, who had been scared into a stupor by Norbert, over his shoulder like a sack and headed downstairs.
Chen Yu followed after putting the Iron Monger into the Serenitea Pot.
"Then why not find Yinsen? He's definitely more skilled and proficient than Pepper." Chen Yu continued to tease: "Could it be that you have some opinion about Dr. Yinsen?"
Tony retorted: "If necessary, there's no need to trouble Yinsen with such a small matter. Besides, I don't particularly like a grown man touching my chest."
"Alright, then I'll tell Yinsen later that you hate him."
"Whatever, Yinsen understands my thoughts anyway."
After refuting Chen Yu, Tony then gossiped to Chen Yu: "I'm telling you, we might even see Yinsen lying in his girlfriend's arms seeking comfort when we go down now!"
"Yinsen has a girlfriend? When did this happen? Tell me more, tell me more."
Chen Yu was also very interested to hear that Yinsen had a girlfriend.
"It was about a month ago, I think. The group's legal department hired a new female assistant, in her twenties or thirties, with red hair and brown eyes, a graceful figure, and a beautiful face. Her business capabilities were also good after joining the company. She became very interested in Yinsen after meeting him and actively pursued him."
The two arrived at the elevator entrance, ready to take the elevator down.
"Yinsen agreed? Only twenty or thirty?" Thinking of Yinsen, who was nearly fifty years old, he then asked: "Is he robbing the cradle?"
Tony whistled: "Isn't that right? Pepper said they're even living together now. But I always feel there's something off about that woman."
"What could be wrong?"
"Look, she ignores a handsome chairman like me in the company and instead pursues Yinsen, who isn't as handsome as me, isn't as talented as me, is older than me, dresses more unfashionably than me, and isn't as humorous as me. Don't you think there's something wrong with this woman?"
"Are you just jealous?"
"Huh? Jealous? Me, jealous that Yinsen is more popular with women than I am? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. Listen, Chen Yu. The one thing I'm never short of is women. Every time I throw a party, women always flock to my party uninvited. You know Maxim magazine, right? I've recently collected all the cover girls I missed before."
Tony mumbled a few words, seemingly thinking Chen Yu might be too young to understand what he was saying, and didn't speak so explicitly, reining it in slightly. He finally added: "Anyway, my gut tells me that girl named Natasha Rushman is a bit problematic. I'll have Pepper find an opportunity to fire her later to avoid annoyance."
Hearing Natasha's name and Tony's description of her appearance, Chen Yu immediately thought of Natasha Romanoff.
That is, the famous senior agent under Nick Fury, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., also known as "Black Widow."
This Black Widow simply changed her surname and openly infiltrated Stark Industries, even seducing Dr. Yinsen?
It seems Nick Fury not only wanted Natasha to monitor Tony Stark this time but also wanted to extract information about the reactor and Iron Man Armor from Yinsen.
The bald man's ambition was indeed not small; he wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
Dr. Yinsen was a bit pitiful, thinking he was robbing the cradle, but in reality, the "tender grass" was eating the old bull.
Poor Dr. Yinsen, being played in the palm of Natasha's hand.
Given Dr. Yinsen's level, he was no match for Natasha.
While the elevator descended, Chen Yu silently mourned for Dr. Yinsen for three seconds.
