Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

"Holy crap! You haven't already experimented on yourself, have you?!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed in surprise.

“No.” Tony shook his head.

"Thank goodness..." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

If something goes wrong and Tony turns into Deadpool, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“I’m planning to try it now, that’s why I called you over,” Tony said calmly.

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened: "Tony, are you serious?"

“Of course,” Tony nodded. “Don’t worry, a ‘bloodline lock agent’ was also made along with this potion, which is why I asked you to help me with the experiment. After I inject it, if there are any drastic changes, you should immediately inject me with the bloodline lock agent.”

Lu Mingfei hesitated, "Tony, are you sure you don't want to do some more research? This is no joke. What if something unexpected happens?"

“The safety of this drug is on par with the two I gave you before. It’s very stable and there won’t be any problems,” Tony said, lying on the testing table while tying himself up. “Stop talking nonsense and come lend a hand.”

Since Tony said so, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to believe him and put down the medicine to help Tony tighten the belt and metal chain.

"Ouch... Be gentle, be gentle! Do you take me for an animal like you? I'm just a normal person!"

After securing Tony, Lu Mingfei injected a distilled liquid-like substance into his body.

Tony lay on the lab table, his breathing and expression remaining relatively stable.

"Tony, how are you?" Lu Mingfei asked with concern.

“Everything is normal,” Tony said. “Apart from feeling a little warm, nothing has changed. It’s quite comfortable, like taking a hot bath.”

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback. "Wait a minute, why does the medicine you gave me either cause pain or itching while it's in effect, but the medicine you used on yourself doesn't cause any discomfort at all?!"

Tony blinked and said, "Of course it's because my potion is less potent; after all, it only turns me into a low-level hybrid."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and felt that it made sense.

“It’s definitely not that I specially modified myself into a painless version,” Tony added as the last sentence.

"Damn it! So you really did it on purpose back then!" Lu Mingfei's face darkened.

Tony looked away.

If Tony hadn't been still in the mutation stage, Lu Mingfei would definitely have taken revenge.

About ten minutes later, Lu Mingfei saw that Tony's eyes gradually turned a little golden.

Then the gold intensified, quickly filling Tony's eyes completely.

But just as Tony said, the potion only transformed him into a low-level hybrid. His golden eyes looked dull, and the color didn't have any fiery feel, similar to Little Fairy's grandfather.

“Great, Tony, your potion was a success…” Lu Mingfei stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

It wasn't that Tony had any problems, but rather that he sensed something was off about his surroundings.

Everything around him seemed to have suddenly disappeared. Although the location did not change with the naked eye, the space seemed to have been stretched. Lu Mingfei's voice echoed repeatedly in the laboratory, forming a clear response, as if he were actually in an empty hall.

Everything before my eyes was like a movie that had been paused, with Tony's blink frozen in the middle, giving it a somewhat "expressional" feel.

A familiar boy sat on the lab table, looking down at Tony on the table. The boy's eyes were also a pale gold, but unlike Tony's dim eyes, they were more like a thin ray of sunset glow.

"Little devil?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

"To bestow bloodlines upon ordinary people? The gift of blood, such power is actually wielded by a mortal..." The little devil looked down at Tony, his expression inscrutable.

“Uh…” Lu Mingfei made a sound.

"What's wrong, brother?" The little devil gave Lu Mingfei a sly yet friendly smile, rubbing his hands together. "Just ask me anything you want to know. My intelligence is top-notch and cheap."

“No,” Lu Mingfei shook his head, “I meant to say that sitting on the lab table is against safety regulations.”

Little Devil: ……

148. Chapter 147 Tony's Words of Power

The little devil jumped forward, his two short legs landing on the ground.

"Why are you here?" Lu Mingfei looked at him with disdain.

"What else could a hellish salesman like me be doing here?" The little devil looked up at Lu Mingfei with his chest puffed out, and said proudly, "Of course I'm here to sell you my products, so you can sell your soul to me, brother!"

"What's with that smug look on your face, you soul trafficker?!" Lu Mingfei shouted. "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were introducing yourself as a life-saving angel in white!"

“Being a nurse is a bit difficult. After all, we in hell don’t usually treat patients. When someone gets sick, we throw them into lava and sulfur to kill the lesions directly. Doctors are a bit redundant, but we always have a shortage of funeral directors and priests who preside over funerals.” The little devil looked troubled.

"Your last sentence was full of glaring flaws! And why do you need a priest to preside over a funeral in hell? Do you guys even want to go to heaven?" Lu Mingfei complained even louder.

"Heaven is full of beautiful angels with big breasts, slim waists, and long legs, all wearing white stockings. Who wouldn't want to go to heaven?" Lu Mingze wiped his mouth.

"Please, I'm begging you, don't make such a lewd face on such a cute face, okay?" Lu Mingfei covered his face.

“No problem, Chenghui, a quarter of my soul,” the little devil said, extending the hand that was wiping his mouth. “As long as you place the order, you can decide what expression I make from now on.”

"You truly are a devil! You're willing to sell your own soul just to get mine, aren't you!" Lu Mingfei covered his face.

"This is nothing! As long as you're willing to make a deal, I'd be perfectly fine with being a nurse! Have you forgotten how I saved someone for you back then? Even though it wasn't medical treatment, the person was still alive and kicking, wasn't they? And if you're willing to contribute a little more of your soul, I'd even go to Oxford University to study for a medical doctorate, it's not out of the question..." The little devil fully demonstrated how low the devil's morals were.

"So I spent my soul to send you to university to improve yourself, right?" Lu Mingfei said, squinting. "Besides, instead of becoming a doctor, you might as well become a nurse with a slim waist, big breasts, long legs, and white stockings. I might even consider bowing down to beauty."

Lu Mingfei had only meant to make a sarcastic remark, but before he could finish speaking, the little devil's figure suddenly blurred, then instantly grew taller, its body revealing exaggerated curves...

After the instantaneous change, when the little devil's figure became clear again, he had become a nurse with a great figure and white stockings, just as Lu Mingfei had said. Moreover, he did not have an incongruous boyish face, but rather a beautiful face with extremely high looks. However, one could still vaguely see a few traces of Lu Mingze.

"Holy crap! Do you guys in Hell charge a 'morality tax' so you've all sold your morals?! I was just saying it offhand, are you serious?" Lu Mingfei's eyes nearly popped out of his head, then he instantly became alert. "I was just joking, don't even think about using that as an excuse to take my soul!"

The little nurse... no, the little devil stared at Lu Mingfei expressionlessly.

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that the little devil might not have turned into this voluntarily. A similar situation had occurred before—when he first encountered the little devil in his astral body, he had unconsciously dressed the little devil in a Lolita dress.

Although the little devil seems to be able to come to him at will, he has a high degree of control in his interactions with the little devil.

"Ahem." Lu Mingfei coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed—after all, the current situation seemed to be that he had forced a young boy to become a nurse in white stockings. Although the other party's true form was a devil, the scene was still somewhat perverted.

So Lu Mingfei decisively changed the subject: "By the way, what is this 'gift of blood' you mentioned before?"

The stunningly beautiful nurse turned her face away, adopting a non-violent, non-cooperative stance.

“If you don’t tell me, I’ll alter your nurse’s uniform to be a super short one,” Lu Mingfei said leisurely, “the kind where you can see the absolute territory.”

"The Gift of Blood, as the name suggests, is the power to grant the target the bloodline of dragons, without any side effects," the devilish nurse replied instantly.

Lu Mingfei nodded in realization.

He wasn't surprised that the little devil knew about the dragon race; after all, the little devil could traverse the multiverse, so it wasn't surprising that he knew anything.

Lu Mingfei was more surprised that such a powerful little devil would be so easily manipulated by him during their interactions—although it seemed to be only in terms of appearance.

"Speaking of which, is this considered authority?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head. "Tony achieved this through technology, didn't he?"

"Technology, magic, alchemy, immortal arts... these are essentially all the same thing, a facet of the truth of the world, just with different focuses," the little devil explained. "The means and forms are not important; the key is whether it has been achieved."

He paused, then immediately adopted a fawning and cunning expression: "But this ability isn't really anything special. Brother, if you need it, I can provide similar services, just a quarter of a soul each time!"

Lu Mingfei shook his head decisively.

The little devil wore a sorrowful expression on her beautiful face, as if Lu Mingfei were a heartless man who had abandoned her after seducing her.

Hey! You got into character so quickly?! Why don't you change into a sophisticated cheongsam and get a perm to really suit the role?!

Lu Mingfei was about to complain when he suddenly woke up as if from a dream.

Everything around him quickly returned to normal, the little devil disappeared, and Tony's eyelids, which had been frozen in place halfway through a blink, finally drooped, and then he quickly completed a blink.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, completely bewildered—why did the little devil suddenly leave?

In the space he couldn't see, the little devil was dressed in a noblewoman's cheongsam, with big waves in her hair and even high heels. On her feminine face, there was a touch of pink at the corner of her eye. She stood there expressionless, with only a slight twitch at the corner of her eye.

……

The restraints on the testing table had been removed, and Tony stood beside it, turning his wrists with a look of curiosity, occasionally clenching his fist.

"How is it?" Lu Mingfei asked, leaning closer.

"I can feel it myself; my physical abilities have improved a lot!" Tony exclaimed excitedly. "I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch now!"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "Something's not right. Your bloodline seems to be on par with the old patriarch. Which family's cow is so fragile? Is it a longhorn beetle or a snail?"

"Tony, why don't you try punching me?" Lu Mingfei suggested.

“No problem.” Tony didn’t think he could hurt Lu Mingfei, so he readily agreed.

“Come on.” Lu Mingfei puffed out his chest.

Tony mustered all his strength and punched Lu Mingfei in the chest.

A few seconds later, Tony clutched his fist and squatted down with a pained expression.

Lu Mingfei quietly retracted the scales from his chest and scratched his head—he seemed to be being too cautious; he probably didn't need to use the scales for defense.

It's all Peter's fault!

……

In the laboratory.

After a brief physical fitness test, Lu Mingfei and Tony came to a conclusion.

Tony's physical abilities have indeed improved, exceeding the theoretical limits of human beings, but to be honest, he is definitely not at the level of being able to kill a bull. In fact, if he were to fight a crazed bison with his bare hands, the bull might have a better chance of winning.

However, Tony was quite satisfied with this – such physical attributes would definitely enhance his abilities in that area.

"By the way, Tony, what is your Word of Power?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“Hmm… Based on the cycle of the Word of Power you provided, I compared it and it should be the snake of sequence number 37,” Tony said.

"A snake?" Lu Mingfei frowned. "This Word of Power doesn't seem very powerful."

"How could that be?" Tony was taken aback. "I thought it was very strong."

With that, Tony snapped his fingers, and countless holographic screens appeared in the lab. Some screens displayed scrolling code, some displayed constantly changing data streams, and some displayed different web pages.

Lu Mingfei blinked: "Huh?"
