In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

Li Xiao felt a little helpless. Americans always talked about God, and even when he saved her and the child, they thought it was God's will, which was really absurd.

After watching the grateful mother and son leave, the flush on his face slowly faded. In less than a second, he dashed ten meters on the spot, reaching a speed that even a cheetah would find difficult to keep up with.

This put a strain on his body; he felt like a red-hot iron felt radiating residual heat.

Fortunately, the rain was quite heavy, which lowered the temperature and also provided some cover. There was no one around, after all, no one could guarantee that a large truck wouldn't suddenly turn a corner and rush towards them.

The scene before me was even more horrifying than a multi-vehicle collision; shredded flesh and bone had soaked the road into pools of blood, and splattered human heads were stuck in the guardrails.

How should he force the car to stop? Li Xiao wondered to himself. He didn't dare to block the car with his bare hands, and he was too far away to shoot.

Just as Li Xiao was about to give chase, the whirring of propellers sounded from the sky, and the strong winds they generated rippled the rainwater on the ground.

Li Xiao felt a shadow loom over him; he looked up and saw an armed helicopter.

With a "beep" sound from below the helicopter, a missile flew out with a piercing whistle.

The missile accurately struck the truck below, instantly destroying it and sending it engulfed in flames.

Good heavens, American-style iaido!

Li Xiao's pupils contracted; the game had become reality. The federal government's solution was indeed simple and brutal.

Upon seeing the building with the "Steve Jobs" sign in the distance, Li Xiao instantly understood that the federal government had intervened to protect the assets of the wealthy.

[Mission: You have completed the rescue and successfully stopped the evil god's members from carrying out their massacre plan.]

[Reward: +2 Free Attribute Points, Steel Behemoth Stance Experience]

Experience with driving vehicles instantly flashed through Li Xiao's mind.

It seems like it's legal to drive without a license now. Li Xiao shrugged. Just then, the bus stopped at the station, its surface covered in blood.

Li Xiao noticed faint signs of fire on the vehicle body, and then glanced at the route, which led him through the site of the truck explosion.

"They still dare to drive over after a missile bombing incident? They're incredibly bold," Li Xiao thought to himself.

He got in the car and dropped in a two-dollar coin. The driver, an obese white man, saw the scene outside, muttered "fuck" under his breath, and started the vehicle.

Li Xiao sat in the back row by the window, resting with his eyes closed. His ears twitched slightly, as if someone was following the bus, maintaining a distance of about 5 meters. The bus had already made two turns by then.

However, since the people in the car didn't carry any firearms, Li Xiao didn't bother with it anymore.

The bus swayed and bumped along the way, stopping frequently to let passengers on and off. Overall, there were no major disputes, and there were no homeless people sleeping on the floor on the bus today.

Li Xiao got out of the car. The sky cleared up, and the Central Library behind him, washed by the rain, appeared as a clear blue crystal. He could vaguely see people walking around inside.

This is a building designed by the Dutch, with a glass triangular structure that looks like an irregular crystal cube.

He also spotted the car following them; it was a Brabus. The driver's face was covered by a Fedora hat, and he was dressed like a mafia member in a black overcoat and tie.

He frowned, turned around, and walked towards the library behind him.

After paying $10, Li Xiao entered the gate and took the yellow-green escalator to the third floor, where many people were reading in the lobby.

There were elderly people with white hair discussing and exchanging ideas, as well as white-collar workers holding Starbucks and busy in front of their laptops.

The person in the very center seemed to be having an academic exchange; the microphone was very loud, and there was frequent bursts of enthusiastic applause.

Li Xiao went to the bookshelf and carefully searched for publications. He finally pulled out a few books on high school knowledge points. He couldn't find any university books, so he had to give up.

The noise from the microphone grew louder and louder, making it impossible for Li Xiao to concentrate. He found a quiet spot to sit down, and just then, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Child of Krypton, you have arrived at the forest treehouse of the intelligent centaurs, where goblins and gnomes seem to be arguing loudly, refusing to acknowledge each other as their own kind.]

[Task: Ignore the chaotic environment and learn and accumulate knowledge. Time limit: 0/100]

[Reward: Mental Strength +2]

Okay, it's a bit difficult, but he believes he can do it.

Li Xiao opened the book, his eyes scanning the knowledge points with precision. His mental strength had been fully restored, and memorizing these contents was not difficult for him.

Time passed second by second, and Li Xiao would occasionally take a moment to check the progress bar: 50/100, half left.

At the same time, someone silently sat down in the empty seat next to him. He was very close, and Li Xiao didn't even look up. Li Xiao had noticed him the moment he entered; the slightly rapid breathing and the pounding heartbeat told him everything. This person was the Brabus owner.

"Let me finish reading the book first, then we can talk."

Li Xiao slowly turned the pages of the book, glancing sideways at the page.

I'm working on the progress bar, and being interrupted at this point might ruin all my efforts. I hope this person is sensible.

The man paused for a moment, then nodded, his gaze fixed on the view outside the window.

[Task: Learning completed 100/100]

[Reward: Spirit +2]

[Current Spirit: 25]

"Tell me, what is it that makes you keep following me? This is an invasion of my privacy."

Li Xiao twisted his neck with a sense of exhilaration, firmly memorizing the knowledge in his mind.

"My name is Bruce Wayne," said the person next to him whose face was covered by a hat, extending his hand.

Li Xiao was taken aback and blurted out, "Batman?"

The man paused for a moment, then removed his top hat to reveal a young, handsome face. "Many people have this name; it doesn't necessarily mean it's Batman."

Well, it seems I was too talkative. Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Li Xiao's mind.

[Child of Krypton, you meet Gotham's Dark Knight, Batman]

He seems to be confused about something and wants your help.

There are currently no tasks available.

"You still say you're not Batman?" Li Xiao rolled his eyes inwardly. Another superhero, and the same old grandfather who was suspicious of everyone. But the difference was that this one was quite stubborn.

Li Xiao could see that the watch hands on this guy's wrist were no longer turning; it was a fake Patek Philippe.

Li Xiao slightly relaxed his guard. Overall, Batman wasn't a bad person and was someone he could still trust.

My name is Li Xiao.

Li Xiao took off his mask and shook hands with him. Since the other person dared to take off his hat and show his face, he had no reason to be shy.

"Mr. Li, could you answer one question for me first?"

"you say"

"When you were rescuing the baby on Kensington Avenue, you didn't administer any medication, did you?"

Li Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. This guy actually started paying attention to him back then? He really does like sneaking around like Batman.

"No, I'm just naturally faster than most people, there's nothing special about that."

"No, no, no," Bruce Wayne pulled a pen from his pocket and started calculating on a piece of paper. "I've estimated that you ran more than 10 meters away in 0.6 seconds. The force generated by that instantaneous burst was an astonishing 397 kilograms of force, and the speed reached 120 miles per hour. Mr. Li, I suspect that you have exceeded the limits of human beings."
