Shishio's final act of self-destruction certainly made an extremely strong impression on several of the Defenders and, unsurprisingly, brought in a decent amount of points for Ryan.
Frank looked past the contorted Bullseye and saw Shishio, who was reduced to ashes in flames. He spoke in a deep voice, "It seems I was wrong. He is a frightening guy, both to his enemies and to himself."
Frank considered himself a veteran of many battles and had faced a lot of enemies in the war. There were many vicious and evil ones, but an opponent like Shishio still caused a few ripples in his heart.
"..."
Frank's words silenced the Defenders. Shishio's ferocity had given them a deeper understanding of Jiu You.
Likewise, it was even more worrying.
Jiu You was even more frightening than they thought.
...
"You look even worse than before."
In front of the food truck, Shell looked at Tony, who was practically pale. Then, he silently withdrew his eyes and looked down.
"You don't have to tell me that."
With a forced grin, Tony's reply was more than a little self-loathing
Before coming in this morning, he tested his body and saw that the toxicity of his blood had reached 83%. A large amount of palladium metal was flowing into his body through the miniature arc reactor in his chest, and, to put it mildly, his days were numbered.
He reached for the dumpling on the food truck counter and lifted it to his mouth with the help of his armour. In fact, Tony had already noticed that, as the palladium was eating away at his body, his movements had become increasingly weak during normal situations. He had no choice but to put on his armour in order to maintain normal movement.
He opened his mouth and ate the dumpling with no expression. The delicious taste in his mouth made Tony's pale face change. He looked at the dumpling in his hand and then at Shell in the food truck. Tugging at the corners of his mouth, he revealed a charming smile, "I thought I could face all this with dignity, but the closer I get to the end, I realise I have too much to lose. It seems that I'm not as glorious as I thought, I'm just an ordinary person after all."
"..."
At Tony's words, Shell was silent for a moment. He then took out a steamer cage with four different coloured buns from the truck.
"This is?"
Tony subconsciously raised his eyebrows as he looked at the dish Shell handed over.
"Buns of the Four Gods." Facing Tony's question, Shell pointed to the buns in the steamer.
This was a dish that appeared in the showdown between Shell and Luo Kong, the Dim Sum King, in 'Chuka Ichiban'. The four colours of the buns represent the four divine beasts, Green, White, Vermilion and black, as well as the four tastes, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy. It was worth mentioning that the other dish that appeared in this duel was the 'Golden Laughing Bun' that he had made before.
With the [Dim Sum Master] skill, Shell was able to create the dish in a similar style.
"Buns of the Four Gods?"
With the somewhat overbearing name in his mouth, Tony looked up at the Shell and then down at the dish. He spoke with a somewhat bitter smile on his lips, "Hell, the more you do this, the more I can't say goodbye to the world."
As Tony said that, he reached out to pick up a bun from the steamer. Somehow, by coincidence or something, the bun he picked up happened to be the one that represented the bitter taste.
There was no denying the taste of the 'Buns of the Four Gods', but what touched Tony's heart the most was the slight bitterness that came from his mouth at the end of the delicious taste. It touched his heart and his recent series of experiences.

"Thank you." Swallowing the last bite of bun in his mouth, Tony looked at Shell and delivered rare and sincere words of gratitude.
"Actually, I don't know what happened to you exactly, but..."
Looking up and glancing at Tony, Shell frowned. A rare look of hesitation and difficulty crossed his silent face before he said, "But it's not like there's no solution at all."
"?!"

Unsurprisingly, what Shell said caused Tony's heart to waver for a moment. However, he was quick to contain his excitement.
He shook her head. "Impossible, I've searched every."
"I not talking about an ordinary way, of course." At Tony's answer, Shell's expression didn't change at all. He continued, "Of course, this isn't a simple method. Even in the minds of the majority of people, it's probably just a fanciful legend. I've only heard about it in passing. It's up to your own luck, whether you'll actually succeed or not ..."
"Do I look lucky to you?"
With Shell's words, the faint hope that had risen in Tony's heart was instantly extinguished. He looked down at his appearance at the moment and spoke with a bitter expression.
"At least there's hope. It's better than waiting for death like this."
"All right."
Shell's words convinced Tony, although he didn't expect much from it.
"Peng Lai." Shell spoke slowly as he looked at Tony, who looked dishevelled as if he had no life left in him, "This is the only place I know of that can save you."
[Reputation points from Tony Stark +300]
"Wait a minute!"
When Tony heard Shell say the name, his face froze for a moment. It then turned into a look of surprise and he excitedly asked, "Can you repeat that?"
"Peng Lai, the legendary overseas immortal realm in China. Legend has it that there are traces of immortals on the island. They have the miraculous ability to heal the wounded and save the dying."
"I might have heard of Peng Lai before..."
After listening to Shell's explanation, Tony had a slightly odd expression as he muttered back.

In the antique shop, having just dug a trap for Tony, Ryan looked at the amount of points he had accumulated on the data panel and glanced at the words [B-level Card Fragment x 4] in the item bar. He felt it was time to push himself. If Ryan managed to get another [B-level Card Fragment], that would undoubtedly be a substantial boost to his current strength.
'I guess it's throw down the gauntlet.'
Licking his lips, Ryan stopped hesitating. Instead, he directly used the 10,000 reputation points he had accumulated and exchanged them for a [Bronze Treasure Chest].
'I'm not asking for much, just a [B-level Card Fragment]!'
Chanting silently in his heart, Ryan opened the treasure chest in front of him. A white light flashed.
