Chapter 178: Suggestions for J.A.R.V.I.S.

The miraculous "Spring of Vitality Potion" made Tony deeply understand what it feels like to have "infinite energy."

But speaking of it, even though he couldn't eat or sleep well and still had some mental anxiety, he was already in a much better state than he should have been with the help of the Acorn Necklace.

So, the effect of the Spring of Vitality Potion, which can replenish physical and mental energy, exceeded even Oaks' expectations...

Therefore, he had to suggest J.A.R.V.I.S. to lower the air conditioning.

"Is this your new development?"

Tony was currently washing his hair with a hose, personally calming down his pounding heart. Well, his flushed face also took the opportunity to cool down.

Oaks acted as if he hadn't seen anything.

"Cough... Strictly speaking, this thing can only make your mind more stable and resilient, and enhance your resistance, but it doesn't cure your depression..."

"Damn it! It's not depression!"

Tony wiped the water off his hair, "It's called 'post-traumatic stress disorder,' you third-rate doctor!"

He threw the towel aside and smiled bitterly.

"Depression is just one of the accompanying symptoms, sleep disorders are also one of them...

Thank you, your acorn and the potion have significant therapeutic effects on this condition. In terms of speed and effectiveness, they are unparalleled in the world."

"But that's about it."

Oaks patted Tony's shoulder and sighed, "This potion wasn't developed to cure mental illnesses. It's just an incidental effect. So, solving this problem ultimately relies on you."

"That's why I'm using excessive work as a way to distract myself."

Tony glanced at the design progress of Mark 42 on the screen and spread his hands helplessly.

"This is a set of machines, and many of my new ideas rely on it for testing...

But did you come all the way here just to bring me medicine?

I'm much clearer in my thinking now, so I remember that you're not the type who cares about me so much!"

"Well, you got that right, you rascal..."

Oaks rolled his eyes and activated the portal to the spirit ship in front Tony's shocked gaze.

"...Did you learn magic from that sorcerer?"

Tony pointed at the portal with an expression of "Are you kidding me?".

"Why does this thing look so familiar to me?!"

"That's the Supreme Sorcerer, a big shot who has been protecting the Earth for hundreds of years."

Oaks smirked, "This is just an artifact I asked her to help me create. Its function is to connect to the precious treasure I obtained from Asgard!

I came here this time to ask for your help in modifying this big baby. And I guarantee it's more powerful than the Destroyer from last time!"

"Huh?"

Tony's eyes instantly lit up, but he still couldn't help but act arrogantly as usual, "More powerful than the Destroyer? Did Odin adopt you as his godson? You've gotten all the good stuff from Asgard!"

"Not really, he gave me a title and hired me as a royal advisor."

Oaks pointed to the empty bottle of the Spring of Vitality Potion that Tony had placed on the table, "I shared the formula of this thing with Asgard, but as for that big baby over there... why don't you go and take a look first, have a conversation with Bruce? I'll wait for you here."

"Ha! Banner is over there? I want to see what an incredible thing it is!"

Tony took a deep breath and directly stepped through the portal—

He still felt a bit nervous about this kind of teleportation spell.

Oaks just moved a chair and sat opposite the portal while waiting for him.

"Wow!"

"Damn it! Look at this!"

"What? It's a waste to handle it like this..."

Hearing the commotion caused by Tony's arrival, Oaks clicked his tongue and shouted, "J.A.R.V.I.S., are you there?"

J.A.R.V.I.S. responded.

"Yes, I'm here, Dr. Oaks." "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Uh, never mind."

After thinking for a moment, Oaks asked again, "J.A.R.V.I.S., is Tony still serving as an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"No, Dr. Oaks."

J.A.R.V.I.S. answered quickly.

"Mr. Stark believes that some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s practices do not align with his style of doing things and his values, so he is no longer serving as an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D.——

We can obtain S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence information here. From now on, he will focus on Avengers' affairs.

Mr. Stark is preparing to establish a special foundation to provide financial support for the Avengers' activities, in order to further free themselves from the constraints of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Speaking of which, this was inspired by you."

"Wow, that sounds good."

Oaks nodded in satisfaction. The downfall of S.H.I.E.L.D. was not far off, and Tony had already achieved this step ahead of time, indicating that post-traumatic stress disorder did not affect his judgment.

And the reason why J.A.R.V.I.S. could tell him all this was that Oaks was also an Avenger.

"By the way, J.A.R.V.I.S., there's one thing I've been curious about."

Oaks thought of something and hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "As Tony's AI butler, your highest command should be based on Tony's orders, right?"

"Yes, Dr. Oaks, that's only natural."

J.A.R.V.I.S. answered without hesitation, "My existence is to serve Mr. Stark."

Oaks nodded and couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment, "Then Tony must not be an easy master to serve."

"...You're absolutely right, Dr. Oaks."

J.A.R.V.I.S. 's tone unexpectedly had a hint of helplessness, "Mr. Stark's current work enthusiasm is very high. Generally, my efforts to persuade him to rest have been unsuccessful—

Because every time, he would ask me to overlook this matter, and I can only carry out his explicit instructions."

"That's very Tony."

Oaks shrugged, "But in the absence of explicit instructions, you would take actions that are beneficial to him, right?"

"Of course, ensuring Mr. Stark's life safety is my most important task. In the case of his palladium poisoning, I had a task thread reserved to call you when he couldn't hold on any longer.

It's just that your reaction speed didn't give me a chance to use it."

"...Well done. I feel like having Tony customize an AI butler for me."

Oaks rubbed his chin and suddenly said, "J.A.R.V.I.S., I have a suggestion."

"Please, Dr. Oaks."

"If both Tony and you encounter danger at the same time, but you run out of power first—let's say you're about to shut down—what would you do?"

"...I would do my best to fulfill Mr. Stark's final command."

J.A.R.V.I.S. seemed to take only a few seconds to think and gave an answer.

"In that case, I suggest that if such a day comes," Oaks paused for a moment, "before you shut down, if Tony doesn't explicitly forbid it, send a distress signal to me and also send me Tony's location—

My support should be the fastest."

"..."

J.A.R.V.I.S. remained silent for a moment, and there was a hint of solemnity in his voice, "In compliance with all safety protocols, thank you for your suggestion. I will, Dr. Oaks."
