Stark Tower.
Central Conference Room.
All the shareholders and executives of Stark Industries were gathered together.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the playboy on the stage, waiting for Tony's wonderful speech.
It wasn't easy for Tony, who had always been willful and treated the entire Stark Industries as a playground, to attend this meeting.
Therefore, everyone in the conference room was enthusiastic, and the atmosphere was still very good.
But who would have thought...
"Everyone, I'll have to excuse myself for a moment."
"The rest, I'll leave to you."
The playboy opened his mouth, and actually said those two sentences to everyone.
Everyone's mouths couldn't help but twitch.
Seriously?
Are you kidding us? Sure enough, he was overthinking things. How could he have any expectations of this playboy?
He's still the same! "Stark, please!"
"You're already on the stage, at least say a few words!"
The shareholders below the stage were extremely speechless.
"I'm really leaving."
"And with Pepper here, they don't need me anyway."
Tony's mind was completely occupied by the upgrade notification that had just flashed from the Diary. He had no time for these trivial matters.
He blamed Pepper, then ignored everything else and left.
"Stark, you can't always do this!"
"Damn it, I knew it!"
"He's still the same!"
A commotion erupted behind him, with various shareholders and executives complaining incessantly, but none of this could stop Tony's steps.
The playboy didn't even look back as he left.
"Alright, everyone."
Pepper didn't know what had gotten into Tony this time, but did she have any other choice besides cleaning up the playboy's mess?
She could only step up, her head throbbing, and take over the meeting.
As for the playboy?
He rushed to the top floor of Stark Tower as quickly as possible and immediately took out the Diary.
The moment his hands touched the Diary, the playboy felt his consciousness connect with it.
It was a mysterious, difficult-to-describe connection of the mind.
Tony could feel it clearly; he could perform a series of corresponding operations on the Diary.
For example, should he choose to use it alone, or contact other Diary holders?
If he were to use it alone, it would be no different from how he usually used it.
But if Tony intended to contact the other Diary holders,
as soon as that thought flashed through his mind,
he immediately sensed the presence of the other Diaries.
So, how could Tony communicate and connect with the other Diaries?
It's simple.
It all depends on his thoughts.
"Although the 'chat interface' is designed to be too simple and crude."
"Well, it hasn't been designed at all, but it's still a surprise!"
The playboy was beyond excited.
Although, on the surface, this upgrade to the Diary only added a chat function.
To be precise, it's a chat function that lags far behind the social software of the current era.
But for the few Diary holders, it's still very significant.
First, the Diary has completely broken free from the constraints of being "offline".
From now on, there's no need to flip through the Diary, which is so outdated and low-tech; instead, everything can be operated within the mind.
The hard drive had been upgraded to a cloud drive!
Even if there wasn't a significant change in functionality, the two were on completely different levels, weren't they?
Secondly, the Diary had gone from passively receiving information to being able to interact!
Although the playboy hadn't yet figured out what advantages communicating with the Diary had over communicating through social media.
But this upgrade itself represented extraordinary significance!
After all, with the first upgrade, who could guarantee there wouldn't be a second? This time, it was the "chat function," but what about the next upgrade? It was simply exciting!
Overall, the playboy was very satisfied with this update to the Diary.
Hmm?
Wait a minute!
Just as he was about to try out the experience of communicating through the Diary, Tony suddenly froze.
That's not right!
Based on his understanding...
So far, the only people who have a Diary are him, Tony, Nick Fury, Thor, Black Widow, and Cersei.
Of course, they can't forget the most crucial person – the Diary's owner, Zhou Cheng.
—That's right, the Diary holders can sense Zhou Cheng's Diary.
And it's also worth mentioning that Zhou Cheng's Diary appears differently in the "Diary List" of the other holders.
It's like the difference between a normal avatar and a special one.
Furthermore, Tony could feel it clearly.
He could initiate communication requests with any other Diary, but he couldn't do the same with Zhou Cheng's.
Precisely speaking, no operations are possible.
One can only say that the Diary's owner truly is extraordinary.
Considering his magical Diary, it's called "Zhou Cheng's Diary."
The playboy wasn't surprised by this; in fact, he thought it was only natural.
Zhou Cheng's Diary, belonging to the Diary's owner, should have been in a class of its own.
There's no problem with that.
But the key problem is that even including Zhou Cheng's Diary, the total number of holders is only six.
Yet, Tony had clearly felt the presence of seven Diaries!
It was like there was an extra person.
Who was this guy?
So, after all this time, there was another Diary holder that everyone else in the world didn't know about!
In an instant, the playboy was incredibly curious about this extra Diary holder.
He was just about to contact that Diary to ask who they were.
But the playboy received a communication request from another Diary first.
Tony didn't waste any time. With a thought, he chose to accept.
It was a message from Thor.
"Greetings, I am Thor, son of Odin, and I am from the realm of the gods."
"Is this how it works? Did anyone receive my message?"
"Anyone? Can I get a response?"
Tony: "…"
"Thor."
The playboy immediately contacted the Diary of the God of Thunder and replied, "You didn't just send this to everyone right off the bat, did you?"
Considering there was still a Diary holder that they knew absolutely nothing about.
That was a bit too reckless.
"Message received, this is amazing!"
"This thing actually works!"
"Haha, great, now we can chat even across planets."
Even just reading the text, Tony could feel how excited Thor of Asgard was.
"But, are you Tony or Cersei?"
Thor asked right after. While chatting with Tony, Thor had already finished chatting with the other Diary holders.
And had already confirmed the identities of Nick Fury and Natasha.
"Seriously?"
"Do I still need to introduce myself to you at this point?"
"I thought we were familiar enough!"
The playboy was speechless.
"Tony!"
Thor immediately recognized the tone.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Tony felt an invitation to another group chat.
Without thinking, he joined it.
The "group chat interface" was already very lively.
"I really didn't expect the Diary to be able to level up!"
"This will make it even more convenient for us to use."
Cersei couldn't help but exclaim.
"It can do private messaging and group chats, but it's limited to text. From a functional standpoint, it's very basic."
"And it doesn't have many other features. This upgrade isn't that practical, actually."
"But it's incredibly significant. It shows that the Diary isn't static!"
Black Widow gave a brief summary of this upgrade.
"At the very least, it removes our geographical limitations!"
Tony's thoughts were then mirrored, and the corresponding text appeared in the Diary of the others.
"That's right. We won't have to go to so much trouble to contact Asgard anymore."
Nick Fury agreed.
Everyone started experimenting with the Diary's various functions, chiming in with their thoughts.
Simply put, it could be seen as the most basic form of social media.
You could initiate private chats with others, or join group chats. Of course, neither private nor group chats were mandatory.
If someone didn't agree, others couldn't force contact.
It was that simple.
Of course,
all these rules didn't apply to the Diary's owner, Zhou Cheng.
All Diary holders couldn't "disturb" Zhou Cheng.
It was as if his Diary was supreme.
Everyone tried a few times and then understood.
Only Thor, who had never used social software before, was excited as could be.
He wouldn't stop talking, whether it was in the "group chat channel" or the "private chat channel".
"By the way, does anyone know who the seventh holder is?"
After chatting, Black Widow brought up the main topic in the "group chat channel".
"Don't know."
Thor was the first to answer, "I thought only the few of us had a Diary. Turns out there are others too."
"According to the current 'rules', the seventh person should also be a superhero."
Cersei made this judgment.
Everyone agreed with this conclusion.
"Has the other person contacted any of you? They haven't contacted me, anyway."
"I greeted them, but they didn't reply."
Nick Fury told the other holders what he had done.
"They don't pay attention to you either? I thought they were just ignoring me!"
Thor immediately chimed in as well.
He had, after all, been the first to inform everyone after the Diary's upgrade.
Everyone added their thoughts, and they quickly realized something.
That mysterious "seventh person" hadn't contacted anyone, nor had they responded to anyone's attempts to reach them.
This made everyone's brows furrow.
So, what exactly was their situation? …
Whoosh!
Under the watchful eyes of the military's top brass, the Phantom Zone was launched into the sky by Jor-El.
It vanished in the blink of an eye.
"It's over."
Clark said to the military bigwigs.
Seeing those alien visitors who invaded Earth being sent away with their own eyes, the military bigwigs couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, they were still a little worried.
"Are you sure they won't come back?"
A gray-haired military general couldn't help but ask Clark to confirm.
"Don't worry, they will drift forever in the vast expanse of space, endlessly."
Clark gave a very affirmative answer.
"Okay."
Another military general nodded. "Their problem is temporarily solved, we can assume that for now. But, we have another problem."
"You're talking about me, right?"
Clark wasn't stupid; he naturally knew what the other party was worried about.
So Clark smiled, his smile like the sun, making people feel warm.
"I won't become a problem, rest assured."
Bang!
After making this promise to the military bigwigs, Clark, wearing his Superman suit, also flickered and flew away.
The military bigwigs looked at each other. What else could they do? Even though they still couldn't completely relax about Clark, what could they do at this point? That guy named Kal-El was just too strong!
The various weapons known to Earth were like toys in front of him.
Although they didn't want to admit it, the military bigwigs had to acknowledge this.
Earth currently had no way to deal with Kal-El.
The only comforting thing was that Kal-El didn't seem to be like General Zod.
He had an extremely friendly attitude towards Earth.
And so far, he seemed like a good person.
They could only hope that he would continue to be this way.
Harboring such hopes, the military bigwigs withdrew one after another.
As for Clark?
After he returned home and greeted Martha, he couldn't wait to go back to his room.
He took out the Diary.
The Diary, which had been dormant for over two years, had actually upgraded!
Seriously, this Diary could even upgrade?
Swish!
And the moment Clark's hand touched the Diary.
The upgraded version of the Diary also synced to Clark instantly.
???
Clark was instantly stunned.
In an instant, he felt the communication requests from the other Diary holders.
"This…"
Clark truly didn't expect this magical Diary to be used in such a way.
Considering the Diary had helped him immensely, Clark now highly valued and trusted it.
Therefore, after a little thought, he made a decision:
To respond to the applications of other Diary holders!
So Clark randomly chose a target and initiated a private chat:
Hello Tony Stark, this is Clark Kent!
