Chapter 60: Apple Upgrade

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a busy day, the laboratory was unrecognizable. Wesley took a shower and went straight to sleep in the guest room.

When he woke up the next day, Tony Stark had breakfast delivered, and the two of them ate it quickly. Then they waited for the new equipment they had ordered, and Wesley turned on the TV. It was actually Justin Hammer’s news. “He’s going to hold a new product conference in your Expo main building?”

“What product can he have? He’s just an idiot. Don’t pay attention to him.” Tony Steck completely ignored the guy.

“Why do I feel that something is wrong? J.A.R.V.I.S, collect information about Ivan Vanko.”

“Okay, Mr. Wesley.”

“How is that possible? That man is dead?” There is not much news about Ivan Vanko, but it says that he is dead. He died in prison. It seems that he committed suicide.

“There seems to be a problem. He won’t kill himself. There is no reason. And now Justin Hammer has released a new product. It seems that there is something going on. We need to prepare in advance, or the other party will probably attack. Hammer is a fool. He is easy to fool.”

“I agree. We need to get a few more new elements. I don’t know how many opponents there are.” Under Wesley’s guidance, Tony Stark decided to be ready.

“It’s also time to hand over the battle suit you prepared for Colonel Rhode. This way, he can speak up for you in the military, but the property rights must be in his hands.”

“Don’t worry, if others use it, I will destroy it.”

New equipment arrived and they got back to work. The prism accelerator was installed. “Wesley, be careful. I’m going to start it up.”

The accelerator started and a laser beam shot out and hit the wall. Wesley hurriedly turned the valve and adjusted the direction of the beam. It cut all the way through and finally hit the prepared triangular metal.

After cutting the power, the two of them came to the new element. It had been glowing brightly.

“It worked.” Tony Stark installed it in the reactor and then replaced his own. “Ah… well… Ouch… It’s great.”

“Tony, don’t shout like that. It’s not good to make people think we’re doing something.” Wesley couldn’t take his shouting.

“But it’s really great. I felt the power.” He then lifted his clothes and watched the poison in his body start to disappear. “We did it. Hurry up, let’s get a few more.”

Activating again, the two of them began to create new elements. They made five at a time, which counted as six on him.

“You also changed yours. Do you want to try it?”

“No, I’m going to try another way.” Wesley picked up a new elemental reactor next to him, and then Apple started up. “The new elemental reactor is pollution-free and usable. Do you want to start absorbing it now?”

“Let’s start, let’s see if you can upgrade. Ouch…” He just said that, a strong energy began to enter his body along his arm, and he also felt very comfortable. “Ah… Well…”

“Okay, Wesley, don’t make such a sound. People will misunderstand if they hear it. But what are you doing?”

“It’s really great. I’m upgrading myself. Let’s talk about it later.” His words confused Tony Stark. Can the human body be upgraded?

“Brain development reached 10%… 20%, data unlocked, data collating… data collating.” For a full ten minutes Wesley felt the impact of the energy, but the light of the new element in his hand began to dim.

“You can upgrade now. Please enter the first password and set the system to upgrade the first program.”

Wesley knew this was the key. “Procedure One is set to obey my orders.” He then entered the password, which he only had to think about in his mind.

“Program one is complete. Please enter the second password and enter the second program.”

“The second program is to protect my safety.” Again, he looked at the password. The first was his original computer password, and the second was his mobile phone password. Then, Apple unlocked all of them. “Starting upgrade, upgrade time is three days. In addition, your body has been strengthened to a certain extent, but the energy level is too low. The body is twice as strong. See you in three days.”

“Phew…” Wesley let out a long breath. The new element in his hand was actually used up, but it felt really good. Looking at the silly Tony Stark, he smiled. “It’s amazing. Your new element is perfect.”

“What the hell happened to you?”

“As I said, my ability is very special and requires a lot of energy to use. However, the energy that the human body can provide is limited. Your new element gave me the opportunity to upgrade my body. Now my body is twice as strong as before. What do you think?”

“So amazing? There’s more here. Why don’t you continue?”

“I’m a human, how can I upgrade infinitely?”

“Are you still human? You can actually upgrade your body and consume a whole new element at once. Is there anyone more powerful than you? Oh, maybe there is, that big green guy.”

“Okay, contact Colonel Rhode and be ready to put on your battle suit. I’m going back to New York now to get my equipment. Then on the day of Hammer’s press conference, I’ll be ready on the periphery. If the other side has any plans, I think the three of us are enough.”

“That makes sense. Do you want me to make you some armor-piercing bullets?”

“No, they won’t have that much alloy material. At most, they will use armor and it won’t be too thick. My armor-piercing bullets are enough. Now I am going to set off. What do you think my battle suit should be called?”

“How is Sir Black?”

“Not a bad name.” Wesley put on his battle suit and then carried a small bag with his coat and holster. Then he flew directly back to New York. Everyone thought he was Iron Man.

They landed directly on the roof, but it took some effort to take it off. He felt that he should ask Stek to install a set of robotic arms for him as well. “Wesley?” Carlos asked curiously, looking at Wesley’s battle suit.

“Oh, yes, this is Tony’s collection for me. You can wear it too. We’re about the same height, but it’s a little hard to take it off. Of course, it’s hard to wear it now. We need to modify the roof.”

“Has work been busy lately?”

“It’s okay. I think I can take a vacation soon. How’s Hannah?”

“Not bad. You really know how to pick people. She is indeed very good. Of course, she said it as an employee. There are other aspects that need to be understood.”
