Chapter 105 This is indeed a good tradition, but... this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!
Meanwhile, fifteen meters underground in an inconspicuous gray building in the suburbs of Chicago, Shen Yi's figure appeared out of thin air in a spacious laboratory.
The armor dissipated the moment it hit the ground, revealing the face of the blond, middle-aged white man beneath—the effects of the compound decoction hadn't yet worn off.
He opened his palm, revealing two small blood collection devices, one from Immortal and the other from Crimson Speed, with crimson liquid swaying slightly in the miniature containers.
"Two blood samples from top-tier superpowered individuals —"
Shen Yi's lips slowly curled into a smile. If he could mimic both Immortal's immortality and Red Speed's super speed into capsules, his combat power would definitely rise to another level. Especially Red Speed's speed, combined with the enhancement of meteorite energy, might even allow him to develop even more terrifying abilities.
"Red Queen, prepare the super capsule manufacturing equipment."
"Ready, Boss."
A virtual projection of Alice appeared above the lab table, her pale blue eyes calm as still water. "Also, Miss Eve called three minutes ago. Shall we call her back?"
"Eve?"
Shen Yi glanced at the time; it was evening. He stored the blood sample in the temperature-controlled box, wiped his hands, and said, "Call back."
"Shen Yi, why aren't you answering my calls?"
The call connected quickly, and Eve's voice came through the receiver, tinged with dissatisfaction and a hint of worry, "I haven't seen you all day. I thought you'd injected yourself with some weird stuff again."
"I've already said, it's just a vaccine."
Shen Yi gave a casual reply, and was about to put on his lab coat when he asked, "What's wrong?"
"My daddy wants to invite you to dinner."
Eve paused for a moment, then said, "He said he wanted to thank you for your idea."
Adam Wilkins?
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. "Is my Soul Transfer Technique really that powerful? Could it be that they really treat me like their own son?"
"For my sake, you'd better agree."
Eve's tone was full of helplessness, "If you refuse, he will keep nagging about it for the next whole month, and I will also start nagging you because I can't stand his nagging."
Shen Yi: ————
Are you trying to drag me down with you?
"Alright then————"
Shen Yi's eyes darted around. Going to Eve's house, maybe he could find a chance to get some of Eve's virginity—I mean Eve's DNA.
This is the ability to manipulate atomic structure and reorganize everything, a weakened version of the Phoenix Force. Even if he can only create a weaker copy, it would be enough for him to dominate this world. He might even be able to replicate an Emperor of Order, directly entering creative mode. Most importantly, unlike Eve, he doesn't have any mental manipulation. Just thinking about it is incredibly tempting.
In the evening, Shen Yi appeared at Wilkins' doorstep on time.
It was still that middle-class house with its dark blue exterior. The lawn in front was neatly trimmed, and warm yellow light shone from the garage. Eve opened the door.
She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans today, her chestnut hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her eyes lit up when she saw Shen Yi, but she quickly put on a stern face and said, "So you actually came?"
Shen Yi: ————
The way you're talking makes you sound like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.
"What are you saying? When have I ever broken a promise?"
Without changing his expression, he handed over the paper bag in his hand, "I brought a bottle of wine and a bottle of juice. The wine is for your dad, and the juice is for you."
Amazing America: you can only drink alcohol at 21, but you can get a driver's license at 16.
"It's Shen Yi! Come in quickly, Eve, why don't you invite him in?"
Becky peeked out from the kitchen with a gentle smile on her face. "The food will be ready soon."
Adam was still sitting on the living room sofa, holding a newspaper. When Shen Yi entered, he simply grunted and gestured to the sofa opposite him. Shen Yi, without any ceremony, sat down and started chatting as if they were old friends: "Uncle, how have you been lately?"
"It's alright."
Adam put down his newspaper, his tone stiff, but a hint of barely perceptible smugness lurked in his eyes. "Last month, we helped the state government deal with three hazardous waste landfills. The Environmental Protection Agency issued a commendation and allocated special subsidies—"
Although Adam still acted like a patriarch, even taking credit for Eve's great contributions to society, he was genuinely proud of Eve, almost pointing at her and asking Shen Yi, "This is my daughter, how awesome am I?"
Shen Yi chimed in at the opportune moment, "Modern technology is too costly to handle these kinds of problems. Eve's skills are exactly what she needs, and with you overseeing the selection process, choosing safe and efficient projects, they are naturally willing to cooperate."
Adam immediately felt comfortable and found Shen Yi more and more pleasing to the eye; this was exactly what he wanted to hear!
This kid knows when to advance and when to retreat, and he knows how to talk. Although he has superpowers like Eve, he never acts like those arrogant young heroes who cause trouble everywhere. Not bad, not bad!
Adam was always against Eve becoming a superhero—no father in the world would want his daughter to face danger, which is the root of Adam's irrationality in the original story: if something really happened, he would not be able to protect his daughter at all, which would be a devastating despair for a father.
During this time, Adam arranged many environmental rescue trips for her. The amount of money didn't matter; the key was that Eve really didn't have the energy to get involved in those superhero activities anymore, which improved their relationship considerably.
The meal was enjoyed by both host and guests. Eve helped her mother clear the dishes, and Shen Yi wanted to lend a hand, but Adam stopped her.
There's nothing you can do about it; that's just how chauvinistic men are. They think that trivial matters are naturally the woman's responsibility. Shen Yi grumbled about the old white man's behavior, but to avoid becoming the fuse for discord in someone else's family, he obediently shut his mouth, his eyes following Eve's back. He thought to himself, maybe he should find an excuse to go to her bedroom and see if there were any stray hairs or anything.
"In high school, you are not allowed to date, let alone sleep together."
Shen Yi: ? ? ?
He turned around, looking at Adam with a bewildered expression.
Dude, I don't understand what you're saying.
"We are a Catholic family and do not allow premarital sex."
Adam stared at him seriously and emphasized again.
Shen Yi: —
"This is indeed a good tradition, but—"
But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!
Are you sure you're not mistaken about something?
"Daddy, we don't subscribe to your old-fashioned doctrines anymore!"
Eve, who had just used her superpowers to directly reconstruct herself and save herself the trouble of washing dishes, blushed deeply and couldn't help but stomp her foot. "It's my freedom to do whatever I want!"
Shen Yi: ————
No, I feel like you're making things worse by trying to explain yourself.
"Ahem, let's watch TV, let's watch TV!"
Shen Yi quickly turned up the TV volume to watch some news. He'd heard that Florida in the United States was full of talented people, and wondered what kind of tricks Florida in this world could come up with.
"Breaking news from this station: The Global Defense Bureau issued an arrest warrant today for a dangerous superhuman suspected of attacking a member of the Global Guardians who remains at large."
Just then, an emergency news report suddenly appeared on TV, and a photo appeared on the screen. Shen Yi's lips twitched. No, you guys really issued a warrant for that unlucky guy?
