Changes
The grand celebration Tony held the next day made all of Void Island livelier.
Many people also learned that Tony Stark’s main reason for holding this celebration was that Tony had developed the latest type of gravity device.
It could be said that Tony Stark was truly about to make a fortune.
While they were still considering what jobs could earn them more money and improve their lives, Tony Stark had gone straight into the weapons business.
Most gravity devices available on the market, even civilian ones, were mainly used for self-defense. They could be used to set traps and prevent dangerous situations.
Many Bounty Hunters could make simple gravity devices, but anyone capable of creating the latest gravity devices suitable for all kinds of space fighters and warships was absolutely top-tier talent on any planet in the universe.
Even if major companies spent enormous sums and treated such people with the utmost care, they still would not let them switch jobs or resign. Most of them stayed with one company for life.
Yet Tony Stark had simply taken gravity devices available on the market and developed his own.
Such astonishing talent earned Tony Stark the heartfelt admiration of many Void Cult members.
Of course, that admiration also had something to do with Tony Stark saying that he would treat them to lavish meals from time to time in the future.
Tony knew exactly what they were thinking, but he did not mind.
He had lived for decades, and money had never been something that troubled him. To him, anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.
Five days passed.
At noon that day, sixteen space fighters of different models performed a stylish spiral in the sky before steadily landing in an open area on the island.
Since they wanted to inspect the samples, they naturally had to bring space fighters to test them.
As long as the samples truly performed better and cost less to produce, no one would mind placing orders directly.
However, the arrival of so many fighters drew the attention of many Void Cult members on the island.
Seeing the insignias on those fighters, they recognized which companies these people represented.
What was strange, however, was that not a single one belonged to the Nova Corps.
Kyle, Renoli, and the Precognitor had just completed a bounty mission a few days ago.
So the three of them were currently eating and drinking to their hearts’ content at a restaurant on the island.
Two beautiful, curvaceous women sat on either side of Kyle, attentively feeding him.
Both women were around 1.7 meters tall, which made them fairly tall among women, but before Kyle, they appeared delicate and petite.
Just then, Kyle, Renoli, and the Precognitor heard the roar of thrusters and immediately rose to their feet.
"Those should be here to check out Tony’s gravity devices, right?"
"Tony’s reputation shouldn’t have spread that far yet. How did he get all these major companies to come?"
"Tony seemed to say before that Miss Sonia was handling the negotiations."
"Miss Sonia did it? No wonder. With her background, she does have some connections."
"Want to go take a look?"
"Let’s go."
As the space fighters streaked overhead, the three also saw other Void Cult members running toward the fighters’ destination to watch the excitement.
After exchanging a few words, Renoli vanished from sight.
"Wait for me, babe."
Kyle grabbed the Precognitor and tossed him onto his back. Before leaving, Kyle blew a kiss at the beauty who had been feeding him.
Then, with a forceful push from both feet, Kyle shot forward like a rocket.
"Damn it, I’m on your back! If you’re going to do that, at least do it earlier."
The Precognitor nearly got thrown off by Kyle’s sudden turn and immediately started cursing.
"Hahaha! I almost forgot."
Kyle burst out laughing. As for apologizing, that was out of the question.
"What happened?"
At that moment, a black shadow swiftly swept across the ground. Moving at incredible speed, it followed not far behind Kyle and asked.
"Kyle nearly threw me off his back just to pick up girls. I’m cursing him out."
The Precognitor turned around and saw Lacey, dressed in a black bodysuit that highlighted her impressive figure, catching up. He replied irritably.
"Lacey, you’re getting stronger and stronger."
Kyle turned his head to look at Lacey, who had quickly caught up, and spoke.
"If you were as ruthless as she is, you could do it too."
The Precognitor glanced at Lacey, knocked Kyle on the head, and said.
"I tried, but I couldn’t keep it up."
"There’s plenty of time. Take it slow."
"Lacey, don’t push yourself too hard either. You’re already quite strong."
"You can consider slowing down a little."
Kyle looked at Lacey and said.
Lacey was absolutely ruthless. After learning from Tony Stark that she could absorb many different substances,
Lacey had boldly started absorbing ores and had even taken the initiative to enter the sea to test herself in harsh environments. In just half a year, she had evolved 147 times.
Although her evolution had slowed considerably now, Lacey’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
When they had heard Lacey say that she evolved more than ten times within a few days, they had been envious and tried absorbing a huge amount themselves.
Although they had evolved several times quickly, they could not eat anything for the following week. Even drinking water made them nauseous, and the ordeal had nearly driven them insane.
"Yeah, I know. That’s why I was in the restaurant just now."
Lacey smiled faintly and replied.
Although absorbing various minerals could speed up her evolution, the process was indeed torturous.
Her strength was not extraordinarily powerful, but she could already take on Tier 2 Bounty Missions and earn money easily.
She had completely escaped her former situation of being able to rely only on her body to make money. All of this had come from Mr. Kassadin’s willingness to grant her his blessing.
So Lacey had also begun slowing down, enjoying delicious food and living an easy, carefree life.
And it was not just her. Kyle and the others had changed considerably as well. They were far stronger now than they had been before.
The three of them completed Tier 3 Bounty Missions with incredible efficiency, and they were becoming increasingly famous in the bounty world.
"It’s good that you know. We still have many years ahead of us."
"Since we have long lives, we should naturally know how to enjoy them."
"If you don’t enjoy life, then no matter how long you live, it’s a waste."
The Void Cult members now possessed exceptional physical abilities. As they leaped and maneuvered between the towering trees in the forest, the sight was truly spectacular.
Several hundred people rushed into the woods near an open clearing and hid there to watch.
They saw Miss Sonia and Tony Stark receiving those people, and all of them pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
