Unconventional blind dates

Chapter 86 Actually, I'm a Superpowered Person

"That won't be necessary."

The host was sweating profusely, a forced smile on his face. "If that's the case..."

If that were the case, all those people would be doomed!

It's not just that I'm going to die, it's that I'm going to jail!!!

I don't want that kind of thing!

"Don't panic!"

Everyone turned around and saw that the director from before had stood up.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then calmly analyzed, "You have to understand that besides aliens, the more serious possibility is an asteroid impact on Earth! So even if we hand him over to the aliens to abduct, it won't matter! Earth will still be destroyed! Don't panic!"

Yes, that's why they didn't react much after Lu Li appeared.

It's not that they are good people with strong humanity and high awareness, but even if they acted as traitors and handed Lu Li over, praying that the aliens would really keep their word, it would be useless.

When the asteroid hits, we'll all still be doomed.

What's the difference between paying and not paying?

These are all trivial matters.

"really."

The host breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little stunned for a moment, but he's calmed down and figured it out now.

Following the instructions in his earpiece, he asked, "Mr. Lu, do you really know magic? Or Taoist arts or something?"

"I don't know Taoist magic, but I have learned a little about manipulating talismans, and actually I know martial arts."

Lu Li casually threw a punch, which caused the air to explode with a cracking sound.

"Honestly, would you be surprised if you saw this kind of ability?"

He snapped his fingers, and then a tiny flame appeared on his fingertips.

This was created by him using the "dream world".

In fact, the moment he stepped into the building, he entered the dream world.

Just in case.

However, no other superhumans besides himself and Xing Tian were detected on the radar.

"I'm not surprised at all."

The host's voice interrupted Lu Li's thoughts.

Lu Li looked up and saw that neither the host nor the other guests showed any change in expression.

"Mr. Lu, if your abilities existed in ancient times, they would indeed be astonishing. But now..."

In the past, the host might have displayed an exaggerated expression of surprise on his face, but now he just shrugged and said, "Things that are beyond our comprehension can't surprise us."

"It's like the difference between magic and sorcery explained in an anime."

So-called magic is not the magic trick itself, but rather the operations that humans can perform using technology.

Magic is something that humans cannot achieve with technology and tools at present.

Lu Li's skill with fire is indeed impressive.

But apart from bedwetting at night, there's nothing surprising or frightening about it.

"What about this one?"

Lu Li started spraying water again.

"Mr. Lu, this is indeed suitable for performing magic. If the world doesn't end, you would be a great magician, the kind who won't give you away."

But unfortunately, the world is now on the verge of destruction.

What's the use of being able to play with fire and spray water?

Want to liven things up for everyone?

"What about martial arts?"

Lu Li took out a steel ingot, clasped his hands together, and flattened it into a steel sheet. "This won't do either?"

The host asked, "So, are you invulnerable to swords and bullets? What about bullets?"

"Not yet," Lu Li answered honestly.

Actually, it's possible. As long as he can break through his own worldview, he won't be afraid of bullets or even nuclear bombs in the dream world!

The host gestured with his lip and, following instructions from his earpiece, began to probe, "What about even stronger superpowers? Like traveling to other worlds or parallel universes? Or time travel? Mr. Lu, could you do that? Or could that Mr. Xing Tian over there do that?"

"That involves time and space, right? I'm just a person, not a monster, how could I possibly do that?" Lu Li's decisive answer extinguished their hopes.

"I see."

The host sighed; there was no sound coming from his earpiece.

Clearly, they had given up the struggle.

"So, is there any other secret you want to tell me?"

"What I want to say is that my real superpower is my biggest secret."

Lu Li's expression turned serious, and he began to spout nonsense in a serious tone, "Actually, my superpower is that I can push away any spherical object that gets close to me."

"Oh, is that so? Then it really is useless!"

The host suddenly looked up, "Mr. Lu, what did you say?!"

"I said I could push all the spherical objects away."

Lu Li continued his nonsense, "Actually, my original dream was to be a goalkeeper for the national football team. That way, even if they couldn't score against the other team, I could prevent them from scoring either, right? But..."

He spread his hands, looking quite helpless. "When I joined the provincial team more than ten years ago, the coach wanted tens of thousands of yuan. My family didn't have that much money at the time, so I had to give up my football career, and the national team also lost the opportunity to win the World Cup."

"That coach is absolutely a sinner against the nation's football!"

"No way! What kind of football is this?!" the host exclaimed. "Mr. Lu! Can you really push all the balls away?!"

"Yeah." Lu Li was puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"That..." the host swallowed hard, and cautiously asked, following the suddenly excited instructions in his earpiece, "that asteroid heading towards Earth."

"I don't know, but I feel like I can push it away." Lu Li's lips curled into a smug smile. "How about I give it a try?"

"Don't!"

The host quickly intervened, ignoring the excited instructions coming through the headset, "Mr. Lu! Why bother? The world's going to end anyway! You must be lying, right?"

He doesn't want to die!

Rather than social death, the world's destruction is preferable!

"Yes, yes!" the director who had blurted out also chimed in to stop him, "What you're saying is definitely false! That's an asteroid! How could it possibly be pushed away!"

He was covered in cold sweat, and his back was soaked.

He doesn't want to actually go to jail!

Based on what he said, let alone social death, even physical death wouldn't be a problem!

Even if he doesn't die, he'll probably spend his whole life in prison.

"Yeah, yeah! And everything I just said was a lie! I've never actually been in a relationship!"

The actress panicked.

Seeing their ridiculous state, Lu Li laughed even louder, "Haha~ Since you doubt me, then I'll prove you wrong! Let me circulate my internal energy first!"

"Holy crap! No!!!"

The host made a last-ditch effort, "If all else fails, listen to the people! The common folk certainly don't want you, Mr. Lu, to cast spells! Director! Where's the director?! Get the audience calls answered right now!"

Soon, the voices of viewers calling in from outside the venue could be heard.

The first man's voice was utterly dejected. "Save the world stuff. I've always been curious about the smell of poop and pee, and just now I tasted it in front of my whole family. Tsk tsk, how should I put it? If you break through your mental defenses, it's not entirely unacceptable."

"But if the world doesn't end, my life is over!"

Then comes the next one.

This is the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Hiss—whoosh—how should I put it? Actually, I just told my wife that I've been hiding three-quarters of my income from her; I've been saving it all as my secret stash. She was really touched, and then she told me the truth too."

"It turns out my son isn't my son; he was born from her affair with someone else, and now she's cheating on me too."

"But I'm actually completely unfazed, because I also have a mistress, who's my son's classmate. Ugh, what a mess this is."

Then came the third person.

The person's voice sounded quite young, and it even had a sobbing tone.

"Stop joking! My life is over!"

"Today my sister said she doesn't want to die as a virgin, and asked if I wanted to lose my virginity before I die, and I agreed. Then we spent the whole day in the bedroom, and just seconds ago I was lying on her chest, crying and begging her to let the world end so I didn't want to die! I really don't want to die! How am I supposed to face my sister after this?"

Listening to the self-deprecating stories of the audience members outside the venue and watching the guests inside the venue panic and make a fool of themselves, Lu Li felt extremely pleased.

He felt a joy akin to that of a bountiful harvest.

He glanced back at the live asteroid imagery captured by the telescope on the large screen, pointed a finger to the sky, and suddenly roared, "Ha! Get the hell out of here!"

The asteroid shot off with a whoosh, its rear end sticking out!

It can no longer be seen in astronomical telescopes.

The set of the variety show was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared blankly at the big screen, their faces ashen.

Lu Li was also taken aback for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Just as I predicted."

He sighed inwardly and looked at Ji Mo, who had been smiling and resting his chin on his hand since the beginning of the session.
