In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

When Li Xiao got home, he was completely dazed. His ears were ringing from being exposed to the cold wind all night. He rubbed his stiff cheeks and plopped down on the sofa. The leather sofa creaked and almost fell apart.

Kara's face was deathly pale, her clothes were dripping wet, and although her eyes were bright, her eyelids were involuntarily drooping.

Clearly, last night had left her physically and mentally exhausted, but that energy was still there, because subconsciously she saw herself as a superwoman.

"See you back, Karl. Remember to get some rest."

Kara hugged Li Xiao from behind and planted a deep kiss on the back of his head. Before Li Xiao could respond, she let go, turned around, and walked towards her room with light steps, unlike someone who had just finished a night of ballet.

The ground was covered in mottled mud, mixed with dark red bloodstains. He had practically hopped back the several kilometers he had covered, so Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Li Xiao walked into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of purified water and gulped it down, then turned on the induction cooker.

After a night of sea breeze, my lips were cracked and my throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire.

After feeling a bit better in his throat, he took out a card-like object from his pocket. It looked like transparent glass, and you could vaguely see golden, flaky mercury inside.

A one-hour Sun Card; crushing this thing will briefly awaken his Kryptonian ability to absorb solar radiation.

However, the requirements are a bit high; it can only be used on high-altitude mountain peaks, where the "Three Palaces Demon's" demonic domain coverage will be much lower.

"Time to get something to eat," Li Xiao yawned. He hadn't slept all night and had been training intensely; even an iron body couldn't take it.

Li Xiao opened the refrigerator, which was almost full of things that Kara had picked up from the supermarket trash can.

Walmart throws away all unsold products each day to prevent them from being bought after their expiration date and resulting in lawsuits.

Li Xiao thought to himself, "I never expected being a supermarket stocker would have these benefits." He picked up a can of coffee, took a sip, and then took out several large pieces of bacon and eggs. This time, he was going to make an American-style breakfast.

I carried the ingredients back to the kitchen, where the induction cooker was already heated up. I cracked the eggshells and poured in the egg mixture.

A moment later, Li Xiao returned to the living room with two breakfasts. After enjoying his breakfast, he glanced at the time and saw that it was already seven o'clock. Kara's room was quiet and there was no sound. Her hearing was turned on, and her even snoring echoed. She was already asleep.

After washing the dishes and returning to the living room, Li Xiao began rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for medicine. His cousin's feet were definitely blistered, and if it wasn't treated promptly, it might become inflamed and infected.

Although his cousin often calls him a brat and is always looking for trouble with him.

But as her cousin, Li Xiao felt it was his duty to care about her.

Li Xiao opened the drawer and found bandages, iodine, and a large bottle of painkillers. He glanced at it and saw that there were 1500 pills inside.

They could be eaten as food, so Li Xiao only took the band-aids and iodine. He walked to Kara's door, turned the handle, and went inside.

The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, making the room dim. Li Xiao pulled back half of the curtain to see clearly.

There were several posters of Melissa as Supergirl on the wall, and a laptop screen on a computer desk in the corner was still lit up.

The room was quite messy, with underwear and bras lying around, and a wet bodysuit lying on the floor, along with broken shoes. When Li Xiao picked them up, he saw that they were almost soaked with sweat and blood.

He casually tossed his shoes aside and turned his gaze to the bed. When he saw the scene on the bed, Li Xiao's eyes twitched, and he looked away.

Kara lay naked on a polyester blanket, her limbs outstretched. The city was laid out before her, her soft, undulating breasts providing a clear view.

What a lousy habit! Sleeping naked! Li Xiao frowned and quickly pulled up the window, then pulled out the blanket to cover himself. Luckily there were no strangers in the house, otherwise he could be an uncle next year.

To be honest, he had absolutely no feelings for his cousin, neither psychologically nor physically. Although promiscuity was common in America, he wasn't that kind of person.

Reaching the foot of the bed, Li Xiao squatted down, her torn stockings sticking to her toes.

The bright red toenails were almost all cracked, especially the big toe, which was turned inside out, and the blood on it had dried.

Li Xiao dipped a cotton swab in iodine and carefully applied it to the wound. He gently smoothed out the inverted big toenail with his fingers. During the process, Li Xiao looked up at Kara. Her brows were furrowed, and her golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, covering half of her face, giving her a dreamlike, Sleeping Beauty-like appearance.

A moment later, Li Xiao finished wrapping the bandages one by one and sat down at the computer desk.

The laptop showed the bills, with property tax alone exceeding $1000, and other expenses such as utilities and medical bills totaling over $3000.

At this moment, an email popped up in the lower right corner of the desktop. Li Xiao opened it and saw that it was a bill. The amount was not high, about $2000, but he was stunned when he opened the total.

$77000, and it's a student loan. Looking at the image on the email, Li Xiao took a picture and uploaded it. Soon, under a long string of text, the AI's mechanical voice began to announce, "Duke University, a top private research university in the United States, ranked 27th among the world's top universities, and known as the New Ivy League."

Li Xiao looked at Kara with surprise, not expecting that his cousin was actually a top student from a prestigious university. This was quite unexpected for him.

However, how could such elite talents end up working as stock clerks in supermarkets? This puzzled Li Xiao.

That's over $5000 a month, which is equivalent to 3.5 RMB. No wonder she's so stingy every day.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly took out $540 and placed it on the table.

After removing those, he only has 3900 left, which is all he can help with, since he is also struggling to pay for his tuition.

"Consider it an advance payment for accommodation," Li Xiao thought to himself.

Quietly closing the door, Li Xiao went upstairs, rummaged through his suitcase, found a set of clothes, put them on, and looked at himself in the mirror.

The plaid shirt paired with casual pants made his figure look even more upright. Li Xiao sprayed some hair foam, ran his fingers through his hair, and smoothed his forehead into a standard three-seven part.

This outfit should be more than enough to deal with Corinna. Looking at the time, it was six o'clock, still early until eight. Li Xiao opened his phone and searched for books on personal trainers. An hour later, Li Xiao stretched and put away his phone. He had already grasped the basics.

"Buy your cousin a pair of work boots when you come back," he said, turning the doorknob. He was worried that Kara would drag herself around like a zombie again.

Li Xiao carefully made his way through the garbage. The street had become increasingly dirty and chaotic recently, and the number of homeless people had increased. Along the way, he saw many newly erected tents. Not far away, a middle-aged woman in tattered clothes lay casually on the ground, half of her buttocks exposed. Her crotch, which was covered in an unknown liquid, was swarming with flies.

Li Xiao withdrew his gaze, crossed the street, and soon Corinna's BMW i8 appeared in front of him.

"You're here so early?" Corinna rolled down the car window, glanced at Li Xiao, and frowned.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Xiao opened the car door and got in.

"Didn't I tell you to change your clothes? You're wearing such a cheap outfit? You won't even be able to get past the security guards."
