What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

However, Yang Xi was still a little surprised when she saw a bowl of sausage fried rice kept warm in the rice cooker in the kitchen.

There was a note stuck on the refrigerator next to it that read, "Eating takeout all the time isn't healthy! Goodnight~"

Yang Xi picked up the fried rice, and the cured meat on top was thoughtfully arranged into a heart shape.

His stomach immediately started growling.

But... Yang Xi stopped when the food was almost in his mouth.

He thought of his sister lying in the hospital.

He imagined what the hot and sour noodle superhero would look like after taking the blue pill.

He thought of what Duan Shuiliu had said.

Yang Xi put the sausage fried rice back in its original place. Just as she was about to throw the blue sticky note into the trash can, she hesitated for a moment and then stuck it back on the refrigerator.

The sticky note was crumpled and the smiley face in the bottom right corner looked gloomy.

Lin Naixue has started her new life. Yang Xi feels that he is destined to face the darkness lurking beneath this world. These dark and rotten things should not appear in Lin Naixue's life because of his own selfishness.

Her future is filled with warm sunshine, while he is destined to carry a heavy burden.

The icy water poured over his head, but perhaps because of his fiery supernatural abilities, Yang Xi didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.

There was just a slight sadness.

026 Trading begins

Yang Xi threw away the withered carnations and replaced them with pink and blue hydrangeas by Yang Feifei's bedside.

He visited his sister very few times during this period, as he had to be busy with work while secretly collecting and training his supernatural abilities.

Due to a lack of exercise, the younger sister's muscles have atrophied. Although caregivers and family members come to massage her from time to time to relieve the pain, it is ultimately an irreversible process.

"Perhaps before I succeed in taking revenge, I should find a way to wake her up."

There are all sorts of superpowers in this world, and perhaps there is one that can cure Yang Feifei's current condition.

After leaving the hospital, Yang Xi began making final preparations to successfully deceive Liu Yuan.

Although he possessed the convenient ability to control puppets, his true aim was not merely to acquire Liu Yuan as a tool, but to use the "powerful drug" plan to expose Kunlun Company behind Liu Yuan.

When he got home, all the materials he had ordered online had arrived, and Yang Xi began to busily prepare the important prop for this mission: the "gene serum".

The final product is a liquid successfully mixed from three beverages. The upper half is blue, and the lower half is a cherry-red color. After shaking, it looks as deep and beautiful as a starry sky.

At the same time, Yang Xi also used his metal-transforming ability to create a new mask called "Snake". Its temporary ability is C-level plasma. If the situation is urgent, it can also use raging fire. The Snake suit ruthlessly replaced the janitor suit that had been used only a few times.

The Snake (巳) is of the same rank as the Rooster (酉), belonging to the same organization.

Yang Xi decided to name the organization "Judgment," since his initial goal in becoming stronger was to judge those fallen heroes.

The Tribunal's mission: Investigate the secrets behind the blue pill.

"We should consider upgrading our transformation ability later. Having only two outfits right now is a bit of a stretch."

"The organization's operating funds also need to be obtained from this sucker, Young Master Liu. I remember he said before that amounts under five million could be transferred directly. Hmm, we also need a shadow bank account."

Many transactions do not require the other party to know their identity information. Shadow banks provide such services, but the annual fee for such accounts is a bit outrageous. However, for security reasons, Yang Xi had no choice but to grit his teeth and set one up.

"We absolutely have to swindle the start-up capital out of Liu Yuan this time!"

Gene serum, shadow bank account, and star-absorbing ring are all ready. The final important task is to consider which special ability bead to give to Liu Yuan.

Although Yang Xi could seal Liu Yuan's superpowers by sealing the superpower bead, to be on the safe side, the superpowers couldn't be too strong. For example, giving Liu Yuan the superbrain might catch Yang Xi off guard with a mental attack. Considering all factors, Yang Xi decided to give Liu Yuan the werewolf superpower of the bloodline.

This ability requires transformation before activation, giving Yang Xi enough time to react.

"Liu Yuan should have been given an E-level ability from the beginning."

Yang Xi broke down the D-level werewolf ability into three E-level ability beads. This way, when Liu Yuan finished doing things for him, there would be room for a reward, and he would also pay more attention to the things Yang Xi asked him to do.

After double-checking everything he had prepared, Yang Xi finally felt at ease and went to work.

……

The appointed day finally arrived, and Liu Yuan waited the night before in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the transaction location.

To prepare for this day, he deliberately dismissed all his guards, truly going to the meeting alone.

As for why he arrived so early, besides the fact that he was too bored at home, the more important reason was that Yang Xi had not given a specific time.

What if the Rooster Master gives us the time at midnight?

Liu Yuan believed that he would regret it for the rest of his life if he missed this opportunity. He had a strong premonition that he would be able to get what he wanted from Yang Xi this time: superpowers.

No matter the cost, he had to become a superhuman so that he could finally hold his head high in front of his brother and gain the old man's approval.

As long as he can acquire superpowers, Liu Yuan can definitely become an A-level, no, an S-level hero. At that time, the entire Kunlun Entertainment Company will have to listen to him.

"Damn, it's really cold here at night."

Lying in his sleeping bag, Liu Yuan hugged his arms tightly, trying to warm himself up a little.

When Yang Xi arrived, the young master Liu was fast asleep, snoring loudly, and even had a snot bubble on his nose, indicating that he had been quite cold the night before.

Yang Xi nodded to himself. Liu Yuan's attitude gave him more confidence in the next plan. After all, the more proactive he was, the easier he would be to control.

Yang Xi walked over to Liu Yuan and woke him up with a soft cough.

"I'm glad you came as promised. It seems you still believed me."

The rooster's husky voice is also part of the process of enhancing the organization's prestige, and the mysterious platinum mask also conceals Yang Xi's emotions, keeping those opposite him in a constant state of tension.

Liu Yuan groggily got up, rubbed his eyes, and saw a masked man in a black robe bathed in the morning glow, mysterious and powerful.

He was incredibly excited at this moment. Ever since he learned that the Flame Fister's superpower had disappeared, he had been eagerly anticipating the day when the transaction would officially begin.

He quickly scrambled out of his sleeping bag, rushed forward, and hugged Yang Xi's leg, excitedly saying, "Boss Youji!!! I've finally waited for you! I was blind before, as long as you can give me superpowers, I'll negotiate anything you want—money, women, power. What I can't give you, my old man can. I'm sure you know who my old man is, right? He's the head of Kunlun Heroes Economic Company, an A-level hero, Mechanical Warrior!!!"

Yang Xi was very satisfied with Liu Yuan's performance; this was the right way to express a desire for power.

"Put my legs down first, and then I'll tell you how to gain superpowers."

The eyes beneath the platinum mask emitted an eerie light. Yang Xi directly activated his puppet control ability on Liu Yuan. For the next month, Liu Yuan would remain absolutely loyal to Yang Xi, and Yang Xi would also be able to share his vision, which would be of great help in obtaining information about the blue pill.

Almost half a minute had passed, but Liu Yuan's eyes still didn't show the blankness that comes with brainwashing.

"The ability failed to activate?"

"How is this going?"

"Could it be that Liu Yuan is actually a hidden master? Does he possess superpowers of C-level or higher, but he himself is unaware of it?"

Yang Xi was quite taken aback. As long as the target's ability level was lower than the puppet's own level, the brainwashing would definitely succeed.

Yang Xi broke out in a cold sweat. At that moment, he was being held by the leg of a superhuman who appeared to be at least a C-level...

Is this kid really that cunning?

027 A-level superpower!

This is also a case of Yang Xi falling into the trap of preconceived notions. From the beginning, Liu Yuan was considered a playboy without any superpowers. Even though Yang Xi slapped him eighteen times, he never considered stripping Liu Yuan of his superpowers.

"Get up first. I already know your sincerity."

Yang Xi cautiously probed Liu Yuan.

He still looks silly. Am I just overthinking things?

Or is the ability to control puppets just that unreliable?

"I'll first work on your mindset to solidify your foundation for absorbing the power potion later."

Wearing a mask is great! Although Yang Xi was panicking inside, Liu Yuan couldn't tell at all. After hearing Yang Xi's words, Liu Yuan only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

I'm going all out today. If he wanted to kill me, he could have done it at the bar, he wouldn't have waited until now.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Boss Rooster!"

Seeing Liu Yuan obediently release his hands from his thighs and maintain a safe distance, Yang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could confirm that Liu Yuan wasn't the cunning old fox he had imagined.

That was close!

"No need to be so formal. Since I've decided to help you gain superpowers, I can be considered your guide. Just call me teacher."

"Should I call you teacher? But you're a Rooster Boss, so I feel like calling you teacher is a bit too formal. How about I call you godfather? Judging from your voice, you're not much older than my old man."

Yang Xi: "..."

He really underestimated this young master Liu; he's a real talent!

Just because of this "godfather" title, he felt that giving him an E-level bloodline ability was a bit too stingy.

"Ahem, then I'll accept you as my godson. I'll feel a little dizzy later, so please bear with it."

Yang Xi unleashed a mental shock at Liu Yuan, who was lying unguarded on his sleeping bag. Liu Yuan couldn't hold on for even a second and immediately fainted.

"Judging from the reaction, it doesn't seem like he has any special abilities. Even if it's a C-level ability that's not easy to detect, it should at least slightly enhance mental strength."

Yang Xi reached up and activated his stripping ability.

A familiar feeling welled up in my heart.

"My godson really does have superpowers!"

Yang Xi was shocked!

Superpower: Rebirth

Synopsis: After death, you are reborn one day in advance. (Your powers will completely disappear after use.)

Rating: Grade A. Only usable after death; utterly useless.

Yang Xi was a little stunned by this sudden stroke of good luck.

Liu Yuan, the godson he just recognized, is actually a true A-level superhuman?

Holy crap, the Liu family's genes are a bit too good, a family of triple A-level!

Moreover, Liu Yuan's superpower is a bug-level rebirth. Although it can only be used once and does not increase combat power, its effect is so good that it deserves an S-level rating!

"Reborn back to the day before death."

This is not just a resurrection, but it is also related to the rules of time. After being reborn, wouldn't one be able to predict what will happen the next day? If prepared properly, it would definitely be a powerful tool to turn the tide!

It's a pity that it disappears after use, but it's also normal; it's the price of rebirth.
