Back to Blue Star

On the very first day of the New Year, everyone boasted, ate, drank, and had fun until nightfall.

After the Void Cult members on Void Island cleaned up all the trash they had made, they each found a place to sleep and rest.

"Sir, it has been a long time since you attended such a lively event."

"And you even witnessed something so spectacular."

After eating and drinking his fill, Tony heard Jarvis’s voice as he headed back to the laboratory.

"Yeah, good thing I didn’t leave, or I would’ve missed it."

"But it’s time to prepare for the trip back. We can talk about the rest on the way."

"Pepper is probably getting anxious waiting for me."

Tony said with a smile upon hearing Jarvis’s words.

"Miss Pepper is a strong woman. Although she complained to you, she did not stop you from deciding to stay here longer."

Jarvis replied.

"Of course I know that, but that’s exactly why I need to go back and give her a surprise."

Tony was in an excellent mood. After returning to the laboratory, he boarded the space fighter outside.

Then, under Jarvis’s control, it rose into the air, broke through the clouds, flew into space, and began its journey home.

He did not bother with Harvey. If Harvey wanted to, he could freely travel back and forth between Xandar and Blue Star whenever he pleased.

However, Tony did want to see for himself exactly what kind of trouble Harvey had said would cling to him.

Harvey, meanwhile, stayed for another two days.

Then, after informing Sonia, Harvey took a step forward and vanished under her waving farewell, also setting out on the road back to Blue Star.

After a year, Harvey finally returned to his manor on Blue Star.

Having spent a year on Void Island, where Xandar was lively every day, Harvey found himself somewhat unaccustomed to the quietness of his home upon returning.

"Lights."

However, he had already decided not to be so lazy anymore. At his command, the manor lit up brilliantly.

Afterward, Harvey removed Kassadin’s armor and changed into another set of clothes.

Although his home on Blue Star was rather quiet, not having to maintain Kassadin’s identity gave Harvey another kind of relaxation.

Harvey logged into the game for the first time in a long while. Once online, he received many emails, all from the game’s official staff.

Seeing that he had not logged in for so long, the operators had assumed some game features had displeased him and caused him to quit. They had sent no fewer than eight emails.

Harvey was fairly laid-back when it came to games, not to mention that this was merely a pet-raising game. He had no real complaints about it.

Still, games were one of Harvey’s few forms of entertainment on Blue Star, so spending some money on entertainment was perfectly normal.

So, after looking through the updates and checking what paid items and divine beast pets had been released, he immediately began spending.

He bought more than ninety copies of every newly released useful paid item, along with a huge pile of enhancement stones, and began upgrading. Soon, the ID Casual Player started flooding the server-wide announcements.

"Didn’t this big shot quit the game?"

"Exactly. We haven’t seen him for at least a year, right?"

"Who is this big shot?"

"A true god-tier player in this game."

"When he starts spending, nobody else even matters."

"Spending without blinking? Does he have so much money he doesn’t know where to spend it? Wouldn’t it be better to use it to pick up girls?"

"Could it be that he has picked up too many girls, so he came to the game for some entertainment?"

"Could he be a paid shill?"

"Impossible. This ID is the biggest spender in every game."

"Comparing people really can make you mad."

Tomorrow was Christmas. Aside from the food service and hotel industries, most people were on holiday and staying home.

On top of that, the game had a Christmas event, so many people were online.

Thus, many people watched the god-tier player with the ID Casual Player continuously enhance his pets.

Harvey’s return even caught the attention of the game operators, because some achievements, such as enhancing something thirty times, had originally only been set as theoretical limits.

They had never expected anyone to actually reach them, yet someone triggered them today.

This proved that a major spender had appeared. Once they learned that the player’s ID was Casual Player, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Casual Player was known as a super big shot capable of supporting an entire game by himself.

When this big shot suddenly stopped logging in for several months, they had panicked and wanted to figure out what exactly had displeased him.

Yet no matter how they tried to contact him, they could not reach him. They had already given up hope, believing he had truly decided to quit, but unexpectedly, he suddenly returned and started spending again.

"Looks like we can have a good New Year today."

Watching the spending total rise nonstop, the game operators sighed with emotion.

While spending on upgrades, Harvey also ordered plenty of fast food. Every now and then, he had to try some of these fried foods.

On Xandar, Sonia chose all of his meals, informed the chefs, and had them prepared. He did not need to worry about any of it.

Life had been comfortable, but he truly had not eaten foods like fried chicken and hamburgers there.

Now that Harvey had returned to Blue Star, how could he not indulge himself? He even ordered a huge pile of fizzy drinks.

Harvey enhanced his pets from morning until night, using money to completely ignore enhancement probabilities and spending them all the way to the strongest level.

After completing his daily tasks and looking at his adorable pets, Harvey finally logged off.

In all kinds of online games, spending money was equivalent to using a real-world cheat. As long as one spent enough, one could become the strongest, sweep through every dungeon, and earn the highest rewards from every quest.

At ten o’clock on the night of December 23rd.

A space fighter equipped with anti-reconnaissance capabilities landed at Stark Mansion.

The arrival of this space fighter drew S.H.I.E.L.D.’s attention.

The fact that Mr. Tony Stark had disappeared without a trace for an entire year had long been recorded by S.H.I.E.L.D.

They could get no meaningful response from Mr. Tony Stark’s secretary, Pepper, only learning that Mr. Tony Stark was not in any mortal danger.

Therefore, they had been closely monitoring the area around Stark Mansion.

When they saw this spacecraft, whose technology clearly surpassed Blue Star’s by an unknown number of generations, arrive.

Nick Fury’s gaze deepened.

"Where exactly did Mr. Tony Stark get this spacecraft?"

Coulson stared at the never-before-seen spacecraft, his eyes filled with shock.

Although they had not seen Mr. Tony Stark emerge from it, since it landed at Stark Mansion the moment it arrived on Blue Star, it was most likely closely related to Mr. Tony Stark.

That was precisely why Coulson found it so inconceivable.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was also researching spacecraft, but they had to understand that S.H.I.E.L.D. had collected many materials and technologies on Blue Star that ordinary people could never obtain in order to begin research years ahead of schedule.

And even with that research underway, they had spent enormous amounts of money and manpower, with several difficult problems still troubling them.

Yet after Mr. Tony Stark vanished for a year, he suddenly returned with a high-tech object that looked remarkably like a spacecraft.
