I became Superman

Zhou Ming was just thinking about how to get close to Yi Jiahui when she took the initiative to come to him, which was exactly what he wanted.

He opened the door and saw Yi Jiahui standing somewhat awkwardly at the entrance.

Today she was wearing denim shorts, showing off her bare white legs, a white shirt, and white canvas shoes, looking cool and cute.

Seeing Zhou Ming come out, Yi Jiahui, remembering Sister Falcon's instructions, said in a serious tone, "Zhou Ming, thank you for your help yesterday. Would you do me the honor of having dinner with me?"

Why is she being so formal... It feels like she's reciting lines.

Zhou Ming found Yi Jiahui's behavior somewhat strange.

However, since she took the initiative to invite him to dinner, it was a good opportunity to get to know each other better and learn more about the world of the supernatural, so Zhou Ming certainly wouldn't let it pass.

He exclaimed happily, "Now?"

"Now?"

Yi Jiahui panicked a little and said, "No, I haven't found a restaurant with piano music yet, and I haven't arranged any pieces with the pianist."

Zhou Ming asked in confusion, "What piano?"

Yi Jiahui said, "Shouldn't you choose a very upscale restaurant, with piano music and dim lighting that requires candlelight, to thank someone?"

Seeing her dazed look, Zhou Ming knew that someone must have given her bad advice. As for the reason, it was probably related to her somewhat socially anxious personality.

Zhou Ming found it amusing, and his tension towards that mysterious and unpredictable alien world suddenly lessened.

There are some living, breathing people in that world, some of whom even seem kind of cute.

He laughed and said, "Who goes to eat in a place like that? If you don't mind, let's go eat hot pot. It's convenient and delicious."

Yi Jiahui said, "Hey, actually I also think hot pot is great, but Sister Falcon said it's best to find a high-end restaurant."

She actually wanted to suggest that Zhou Ming try cat food. She had various brands at home, and she had tasted them all. The ones she kept were her favorites, but in the end she held back.

It seems that Sister Falcon was the one who came up with the bad idea, and she's probably an oddball too.

The two agreed to go out for hot pot together the night after tomorrow, then parted ways and went home separately.

The next day, Zhou Ming wandered around as usual.

His body was visibly strengthened; not only was his strength increased, but his senses were also rapidly enhanced.

He first noticed some small black dots moving quickly in the sky when he looked up at it by chance.

These tiny black dots streaked through the air and eventually disappeared from his sight.

However, new small black dots will soon appear.

Zhou Ming felt puzzled, so he began to examine the object carefully.

It wasn't long before he recognized the small black dot.

This is an artificial satellite in orbit. It's too high and too small for him to see clearly; he can only make out its outline and can't see the details.

However, he believes that before long, he will be able to sit on the ground and count the screws on the surface of the satellite, if there are indeed screws on the surface of the satellite.

At this point, his eyesight had become a major problem for him.

He needs to practice for a long time to keep his vision at the level of an average person, rather than jumping to a high level of visual precision at any time.

Otherwise, in his eyes, humans would become bizarre beings that are impossible to look at directly.

Humans are monsters made up of countless bizarre "little bugs" called cells.

It was at this moment that Zhou Ming realized that cells really are like little insects. Some of them crawl around, while others, although they stay in one place, have a kind of wriggling activity.

To say that humans are monsters formed from the aggregation of countless "little insects" is truly apt.

This is how Zhou Ming sees the human body.

If Zhou Ming couldn't maintain the visual level of an ordinary person, he wouldn't be able to live in human society for even half a day, let alone possess the various emotions and desires of a human being.

Sooner or later, he will reach Earth's orbit and look down upon the world from afar, like Superman in the movies, but not to listen to where disasters are happening and then go to save them, but simply to avoid these unsightly creatures.

Zhou Ming trained his skills while basking in the sun.

At the same time, he paid extra attention than usual to observe whether there were any oddities in the crowd.

After encountering and even killing two of these supernatural beings on two consecutive days, Zhou Ming began to question the sheer number of such beings in the world.

They can't be everywhere, can they?

If outcasts are everywhere, then the world's authorities should have a dedicated agency to handle matters concerning outcasts.

That evening, as the sun was setting, he actually encountered two more.

Saying he encountered them is not quite accurate; it would be more accurate to say he found two of them.

His powerful hearing played a significant role.

Three streets away, hundreds of meters away, he heard someone's heartbeat sound unusual.

That guy's heart only beats once every two minutes.

If he hadn't been training his hearing, he wouldn't have noticed.

But when he followed the sound he heard, he was surprised to find that it wasn't one alien, but two.

The strange voice he heard was from a young man who looked like a college student. He was walking down a bustling commercial street, curiously observing the people coming and going around him.

Beside the young man was an oddball: a high-bridged nose, a pale face as if he had just been dug out of a coffin that had been hidden for hundreds of years, a thin figure, well-dressed, and elegant in manner, as if he came from some ancient noble family.

He looked very young, but Zhou Ming didn't treat him like a young man.

Unlike the young people around him who still had slow heartbeats, this oddball had no heartbeat at all.

Zhou Ming observed them for half an hour but couldn't hear his heartbeat.

It seems there are indeed many oddballs in this world.

Zhou Ming drew a conclusion.

He had no intention of befriending such an unknown oddball, lest he cause himself trouble. He came to observe simply to satisfy his curiosity.

After observing for a while and seeing that the two did not show any particular behavior and were just wandering around the street, Zhou Ming lost interest and turned to go home.

……

"Mentor, what's wrong?"

Fang Tong sensed that her mentor seemed a little nervous, so she couldn't help but ask.

Duke asked in bewilderment, "There's a heavy feeling weighing on my heart, but I can't find its source."

Fang Tong was startled and said, "Could it be that the Chengdu Center for Extraordinary Beings has noticed us?"

Vampires have an astonishingly strong intuition, and a shadowy figure like the mentor is almost a prophet; he can sense as much as anyone is paying attention to him.

Therefore, when her mentor showed strange emotions, Fang Tong's first thought was that it might be a warning sign.

Duke laughed and said, "In the Chengdu Center of Extraordinary Beings, there is no strong person who can escape my detection, and if they discover us, they will not just spy on us in secret."

"That emotion has already subsided; it was probably just a temporary emotional fluctuation, nothing to worry about."

Vampires don't have hearts, but they can experience emotional fluctuations...

Fang Tong couldn't help but think to himself, "Speaking of which, my heart will probably stop beating soon too."

He asked, "Mentor, you still haven't told me what your intentions are in bringing me along this time?"
