Black Robe: How can Saiki Kusuo not be considered a superpowered individual?

Chapter 26 Affection Level Indicator

Qi Mu and the people of the motherland exchanged gifts.

Homelander sat on Qi Mu's bed, while Qi Mu sat in his own chair.

Their blue pupils met those of their pale purple pupils for a moment.

Clearly, neither of them were very good at conversation.

Who do people usually chat with?

The deep sea, a train engine, the invisible man, Maeve...

They were all his subordinates, so the Homelander didn't need to care about his tone when chatting.

Even on days when they're in a bad mood, they can verbally bully Deepsea or Locomotive to relieve their stress.

However, things are different now; the man standing before him, Qi Mu, is his own son.

He is a natural-born superhuman, a very powerful superhuman.

He didn't know how to talk to his son.

Qi Mu is similar; his usual conversation partners as a normal human are only Becca and a few PhDs who give him lessons.

The rest were all some strange guys.

Gintoki, Dr. Rorna, God who occasionally tries to interfere with his dreams, Satan who sometimes challenges him to a fight...

Qi Mu isn't very good at chatting.

"Okay, Qi Mu, do you know Walter?"

The people from the motherland took the initiative to start the conversation.

Although the unfolding was rather stiff, at least it unfolded.

"Hmm, isn't this Walter's territory?"

Qi Mu nodded; he had always known that he was living in the experimental zone controlled by Walter.

It was managed by Dr. Rolner, who was not enlightened.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Saiki."

The homelander felt as if he had said something wrong.

"It's okay. If I hadn't grown up here, I don't know what the world would be like."

Qi Mu shook his head. To be honest, he had to thank Walter for providing him with a safe environment.

It's unlikely that he would do anything like ruling the world, proclaiming "long live superpowered beings!" or "I can do whatever I want!" before he's even developed his intelligence.

"John, you're a high-ranking executive at Walt, right? Tell me about Walt now."

The man from the motherland was slightly taken aback, then broke into a cheerful smile.

"OK! You've come to the right person."

"No one knows Walter better than me."

Vought International has a wide range of business interests, forming a vast business empire spanning entertainment, military, media, pharmaceuticals, and many other fields.

They packaged superhumans into one superhero after another and sent them to various states across America.

And they are working on a proposal to bring superhumans into the military.

In the United States today, apart from government agencies, no capital can compare to that of Walter.

All of this is thanks to the drug developed by Frederick Whart—Compound V.

"The core of the current Vought Group is mainly the Seven Superheroes and the board of directors."

"After Mr. Stan Edgar delegated power to Ms. Madeline, the board of directors was essentially controlled by Ms. Madeline."

"And the Seven Superheroes will be mainly led by me."

Madeline.......

Qi Mu looked at Azu in front of him, and sighed helplessly, recalling Dr. Ronner's evaluation of John and Madeline.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Qi Mu sighing, Homelander asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, it just seems like a lot of trouble."

Qi Mu shook his head. The Water Building has nearly a hundred floors, and each floor has hundreds of employees.

"Yeah, that's really troublesome. Something's happened at the locomotive company lately."

Homelander shrugged. To be honest, he hadn't been feeling too good about things with Walter lately either.

Madeline's attitude toward herself became increasingly strange, and Homelander always felt that she was hiding something.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Seven Superheroes, Lamplighter retired, and before a new candidate was chosen, A-Train caused a mess.

"A locomotive? That dark blue thing?"

"Okay, Qi Mu, those are adult topics."

Homelander dropped the topic.

If the conversation continues, Saiki might find out about the train engine hitting the V compound.

His superhero image will be ruined then.

"All right."

Qi Mu looked at John, and no matter what, the latter didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him.

His self-esteem level has consistently remained above 80.

(Superpower: Favorability display, the ability to use telepathy to quantify the favorability level in other people's hearts.)

From the day Patriot first appeared in Qi Mu's sight, his favorability towards Qi Mu never dropped below 86.

Even though Qi Mu slapped her on the nose of the plane that day, her favorability rating only dropped to 83.

Incidentally, favorability ratings only reflect real-time emotions; only a long-term, consistent average favorability rating can truly reflect how others feel about you.

The average favorability rating for the mother, Becca, is 93.

John's average favorability rating is 91.

Rorna's favorability rating is 99.

"If you have time, could you show me around the Water Company?"

Qi Mu extended an invitation to the Homelander.

"Is there a problem?"

He tilted his head and looked at the stunned Homelander, whose favorability rating had now reached 93.

"Sure, of course, no problem at all."

The people of the motherland smiled happily.

"Just tell me an hour in advance, and I'll come pick you up anytime."

"OK."

Qi Mu nodded.
