Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
82. Stark Technology Expo

Mathison's life in New York went so simple for two days, and the official school day of New York University arrived.

At first, he thought the New York battle was imminent, but then he discovered that Thor's storyline seemed a few months ahead of schedule, but it didn't matter. After all, Rainbow Bridge would only be repaired again after 2 years.

The Iron Man II storyline has just begun in New York.

As for how he knew it, it was of course because of today's news.

Because of this news, no one at NYU cares about the two strangers at the school.

This made Mathison much more comfortable.

Reportedly Stark Industries has just released the news that Tony intends to hold Stark Tech Expo.

The media all over the country went crazy.

"Two weeks from now, the opening of Stark Expo, the world's top technology event!", the New York Times announced.

"The greatest genius of the century, Tony Stark tried to recreate his father's glory!", the Wall Street Journal stated.

"The Stark Tech Expo has been set in Flushing and will last for a year!", the Los Angeles Times confirmed.

“This is the second technology exhibition held since the founding of Stark Industries, and it is rumored that Stark will be exhibiting the first generation of the Arc reactor at the exhibition opening ceremony!”, the Washington Post said.

“Wayne Enterprises and Osborn Group, the chairmen of two major companies, both claim to be willing to show off each other's new products at Stark Tech Expo and will also be in person!”, The Daily Bugle.

On this day, the entire world covered the same thing, which was the Stark Technology Expo held.

In this exhibition, the most cutting-edge technology in the current era will be displayed.

One of the most natural heavyweight exhibits is the first generation of the Ark arc reactor.

It was back when Tony was kidnapped in Afghanistan. He tries to create a source of Mark I's power to escape.

It was the world's first mini nuclear reactor.

Although at the time, limited by primitive conditions, the working efficiency of the first generation arc reactor was not ideal, and the energy loss rate was very high.

After Tony was rescued, he immediately began the development of a second generation ark reactor, but was later captured by Obadiah.

Tony now uses a third-generation Arc reactor. The progress of this generation of reactors is that there is no need to replace the reactors repeatedly, and only internal chips need to be replaced when the energy is exhausted.

But the disadvantage is that it will accelerate the poisoning of palladium elements.

According to the current time calculation, it wouldn't be several months before Tony would have to burp.

But in the end, he will be rescued through a black egg (Nick Fury), creating a 'new element', and developing a fourth-generation Arc reactor.

"Iron Man, Whiplash, Batman, SHIELD, Osborn ..."

Mathison is excited. It looks like the plot of Iron Man II is much more exciting than in the movie.

“I think I need to pay a visit to Stark Expo. The first generation of arc reactors was there. Now, if I steal it..».

"Mathison, what are you thinking?"

Barbara asked when she saw Mathison start wandering around the classroom again.

"Nothing, just thinking about what I'm going to teach my students tonight."

mathison.

“Again, I quite know all these basic lessons, and I do not need to listen carefully.”

Although she could not compare to Daisy, the school's genius, Mathison's knowledge was still very good. He has revised the college's basic courses and no longer needs to be included in the study of advanced knowledge.

After all, Mathison's time was limited and could not be used for self-study.

«I already know the typical lessons of the year, but I am too lazy to see the lessons of the next year.»

“…”

Mathison's response made perfect sense, and Barbara fell silent.

Only then did Barbara stop talking to Mathison and turn to talk to the girls next to her.

After class, Mathison and Barbara go to the cafeteria to eat together.

"Go faster, don't make people wait."

"Why are you so anxious, who's waiting?"

Mathison said helplessly.

She actually knew who Barbara was talking about. There was only one person she could call to eat together on the first day of school, and that was her roommate, Pamela.

"We'll know when we arrive."

Walking into the cafeteria, most of the seats were already filled with people and some were not basically occupied by one or two people first.

"Barbara, here!"

The two looked at the sound, only to see it in the chair by the window. Pamela waved at them.

Mathison and Barbara walk over and discover that Pamela has prepared food for the two of them.

Cheese burger, fries, mashed potatoes, and tomato soup.

That's the standard American fast food.

Tomato soup is very different from Chinese tomato soup. In fact, according to Mathison, it should not be called soup at all, at best, it is a thin tomato sauce.

It's sloppy food, isn't it? However, Mathison is not a picky eater.

"Barbara, is she the boyfriend you've been talking about for the past two days?"

Pamela asked with a funny smile on her face.

It seems the two women got along well.

"Hi? No, no, no, I didn't say she was my girlfriend.”

Barbara shook her hands in panic.

“That's seen from the way you act. Isn't the best evidence that you've mentioned Mathison's name almost every three sentences since I first saw you when I walked into the dorm the day before?”

"Then you must have remembered it wrong."

Barbara strengthened herself.

"Oh, all right, whatever you say."

Pamela shrugged her shoulders.

Mathison concentrates on eating her burger, seemingly uninterested in the two women's conversation.

Poison Ivy could sense people's body hormones, and he wasn't sure Pamela had detected her identity or strength through it.

Even though he didn't know it yet, it would be hard to tell if they had too much contact

Even if she believed that Pamela would not betray her even if she knew, she should always be careful.

“Barbara, actually I envy you, whether you say it out loud or not, at least you can always be with the person you like. I can't.”

Pamela's expression was suddenly a bit sad.

"No way! Pamela, you already have someone you like? If the whole school knew this, I wonder how many people would cry miserably all night.”

Barbara couldn't believe it. Pamela has only been moving to NYU for about six months and has been recognized as the dream girl of the entire school.

"You can't be with a guy you like, can you be in New York?"

“No, actually, I only met him once, but even if it was only once, he was the one who pulled me out of the abyss, so I already loved him so much!”

“Pfft! Ehem...”

Mathison had just taken a sip of tomato soup, before swallowing it inevitably spurting out, coughing repeatedly.

"Sorry, sorry, a little uncomfortable with this thick soup."

Mathison laughed dryly.

"Really, why are you acting like a child?"

Barbara hurriedly pulled out a paper towel from the side and wiped the table in front of Mathison.
