Being able to save a lot of money on air conditioning is definitely a great superpower.
After playing with Xiaoxue for a while, Yang Xi sent her away.
For Yang Xi, the C-rank Snow Maiden is more like a pet than a combat assistant. Perhaps after upgrading her to A-rank or S-rank, she can be given the Rabbit position in the Chinese Zodiac.
But it depends on the situation. Either he encounters an enemy that is weak to ice, or Yang Xi has an abundance of dark energy, or... well, he wants to see how big, no, how powerful the S-rank mature woman, Yuki-onna Suzuna, is.
……
On a weekend evening, Hot and Sour Noodles Superman was at his home in the East District of Lukang City.
As a newly popular hero, Hot and Sour Noodles Superman can be said to be one of the best B-class heroes in Zone 1, even more popular than some ordinary A-class heroes.
Besides the battle that made him soar in popularity, his performance on popular variety shows is also remarkable.
With the continued efforts of Hongkong Economic Company, the chances of Suanlafen Superman being rated A are very high.
The money he earned from appearing on TV shows, plus income from various endorsements, allowed him to pay off most of his debts.
"Dad, where's my present?"
His daughter, Tian Tian, with her two little braids, grabbed his hair and threw herself onto his back.
"Oh! Baby!" The Hot and Sour Noodles Superman laughed as he scooped up his daughter, afraid she would fall. "Your present is right here!"
He dragged a carefully packaged gift box from the table; it was taller than the little girl.
The girl jumped off the sofa, and although she stumbled, she managed to maintain her balance and didn't fall.
She held onto the hand of the hot and sour noodles superhero and begged her dad to help her open the gift.
Just then, the wife of the "Hot and Sour Noodles Superman" walked over, carrying a birthday cake with four candles on it. "Happy birthday to you~~ Happy birthday to you~~~"
The hot and sour noodle superhero turned off the lights, and the candlelight illuminated his wife and daughter's faces, making him grin foolishly.
The communicator beeped. Hot and Sour Noodles Superman glanced at the message. An unknown number sent an address: Rooftop of the Raptors Building, meet at 11 p.m.
When Suanlafen Superman checked the time, it was already 10 p.m. It would take him about half an hour to get to the Menglong Building, which meant that he might only have half an hour left to spend with his family tonight.
His daughter tugged at his little hand.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?"
Hot and Sour Noodles Superman paused for a moment and said, "It's okay, does Tian Tian want to eat the cake first or open the gift first?"
His wife, Qian Yue, said, "Let Tian Tian make a wish first!"
Wearing a black, form-fitting loungewear set that perfectly showcased her beautiful figure, she patted her daughter's head with her fair hand and reminded her, "You can make three birthday wishes!"
"Mmm!" Tian Tian responded crisply, put her hands together, closed her big eyes, and earnestly made a wish.
……
"That's it for Xiaoxue! Fantastic!!!"
Yang Xi was teaching Yuki Onna how to control her passive skill of "beautifully freezing". After some effort, Yuki Onna finally managed to reduce her ability to automatically absorb heat when she touched people.
If an ordinary person were to hold her, they would probably only lose a small portion of their heat, and at most their teeth would chatter and they would shiver, but they wouldn't die.
The snow woman happily raised her round little hands, revealing two slender arms like lotus roots from the sleeves of her kimono, and circled around Yang Xi in her wooden clogs.
"Yay!! Master praised Xiaoxue for being so great! Master praised Xiaoxue for being so great!"
Just then, Yang Xi received a text message from Hot and Sour Noodles Superman.
"Master, please descend upon me in half an hour. The target has already informed me of the time and location."
Yang Xi led Xiao Xue to the balcony. The cold wind from outside kept blowing in, but Yang Xi didn't care at all.
"Has it finally arrived?"
Half an hour later, the hot and sour noodle superman who was already on the rooftop was slightly startled, as Yang Xi's spirit had descended upon him.
Yang Xi said, "Today is your daughter's birthday, right? Thank you for your hard work."
The hot and sour noodles superhero respectfully said, "It is my honor to serve my master."
"How big is your funding gap? I remember last time it was around 20 million."
"Less than ten million remains..."
"You've made quite a bit of money lately."
"The main reason is that I've taken on a lot of endorsement deals, and my income won't be able to stay this high for the next six months."
"What are we going to do with all this debt, especially since it's casino debt?"
"Please rest assured, Master, I will handle my personal matters properly and will not interfere with the organization's plans."
Yang Xi said calmly, "I'll help you pay off these debts after some time."
Anyway, Yang Xi didn't know how to use the money in the vault, so he conveniently helped his doll solve its problem, which could be considered making the best use of it.
Although Hot and Sour Noodles Superman is absolutely loyal, it would be annoying if he were to be interfered with by those casino debt collectors who disrupted the tasks assigned by Yang Xi.
After a moment of silence, Hot and Sour Noodles Superman said gratefully, "Thank you, Master."
The appointed time arrived, a gentle breeze swept across the rooftop, and the man in the top hat suddenly appeared on the edge of the rooftop wall, looking like a night owl.
"Long time no see, Mr. Hot and Sour Noodles Superman."
He took off his top hat, bowed slightly, and landed two meters in front of the Hot and Sour Noodles Superman.
Yang Xi glanced at the time and said coldly, "You seem to be late."
"There was a minor accident on the way, which caused a slight delay."
Yang Xi tried to concentrate her mental energy to see through the fog on the top hat man's face, but she failed and even aroused the top hat man's vigilance.
The man in the top hat took a step back and asked with interest, "Have you... made a breakthrough recently?"
Yang Xi feigned arrogance: "I've made a slight breakthrough in my mental strength and would like to see your true colors."
"Hahaha." The polite man chuckled a few times. "That's quite surprising. No wonder you were able to defeat the Jungle Ranger so easily. It seems you have a high chance of being promoted to an A-level hero this year."
This guy...
Yang Xi thought to himself, "The power behind this man in the top hat is indeed formidable; he even knows the information from that night."
Jungle Ranger probably wouldn't reveal such embarrassing information about himself, and Hot & Sour Powder Superman hasn't mentioned it to anyone either.
However, the organization behind this blue pill knew about this secret.
"Enough with the nonsense. Didn't you want information about the Rooster last time?" Yang Xi stared at the man in the top hat, not missing a single reaction from his body. "I recently got one, but I don't know if you have enough blue pills to buy this information!"
077 The Shocked Man in the Top Hat
Intelligence about the Rooster?
This surprised the man in the top hat. After the Saints organization in District 2 was destroyed, their operations in Shazhou City were disrupted to some extent.
Meanwhile, the superhuman named "Snake" also caught their attention.
They knew very well that the Light Priest, paired with three B-level ability users, was no match for an ordinary A-level expert.
Moreover, the forces behind the man in the top hat also investigated the battlefield near the Saints' headquarters. Judging from the damage to the ground and the residual aura at the scene, the Priest of Light had already used the blue pill.
He was extremely familiar with the effects of this thing. Even he would have to avoid the Light Priest who used it, but this Serpent had single-handedly wiped out the Saints organization.
Meanwhile, the almost identical attire of the Snake and the Rooster made them realize that, unknowingly, a powerful organization seemed to have emerged.
Most importantly, even with their intelligence network, they couldn't find a single clue about these two people, and as for their organization, they don't even know its name yet.
The man in the top hat suppressed his excitement and said in a calm tone, "If the information you provide is accurate, you can get at least a double-digit reward."
Yang Xi sensed the shock of the Hot and Sour Noodles Superman and asked in his mind, "What, is a double-digit reward a lot?"
Hot and Sour Noodles Superman smiled wryly, "I used the privacy of an A-level hero to exchange for three blue pills. I never expected your information to be so valuable."
But Yang Xi knew that the man in the top hat was probably more concerned about the intelligence of the Judgment Organization.
“My information is certainly accurate.” Yang Xi cleared his throat. “Speaking of which, I have quite a connection with this Rooster. Back when Yan Die and I were fighting the One-Eyed Hunter…”
The best way to lie is to be nine parts truth and one part falsehood. Hot and Sour Noodles Superman and Flame Butterfly were indeed the first two heroes to come into contact with Yang Xi.
"...I don't know if you've noticed the relationship between Youji and the second son of Zhanxiong, a high-ranking executive at Kunlun Economic Company."
The man in the top hat assumed that Yang Xi was going to talk about the information that had already been published online, and tried to stop him, saying, "If you want to talk about the incident of slapping someone in the bar and killing the Water Dragon Horse, I'm afraid I can't give you any payment."
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
"Liu Yuan suddenly awakened his superpowers."
"Even powerful individuals like the Rooster and the Snake are dual-elemental ability users."
Do you think it's a coincidence?
Yang Xi's series of questions stunned the man in the top hat. To be honest, they also had doubts about these points, but they were just doubts.
Liu Yuan is, after all, the son of the mechanical warrior. It's actually more surprising that he didn't awaken his superpowers than that he did. Although he awakened his werewolf superpowers a little late, it was still within acceptable limits.
The fact that both the Rooster and the Snake are dual-elemental ability users is likely because the organizations behind them select members based on dual-elemental abilities.
But now that Yang Xi has connected these clues about superpowers, the man in the top hat also finds it suspicious, and a certain answer is brewing in his mind.
Seeing the man in the top hat's body language, Yang Xi knew that the guy had taken the bait.
Even if you're so good at pretending to be a ghost, you'll still be fooled by me until your legs are crippled.
"I don't know if you've ever heard of something called a superpower potion."
"A power potion?"
"Yes, as the name suggests, it is a potion that can give people superpowers. Liu Yuan's superpower came about in this way, and the Rooster and the Snake also became dual-type superpower users because of this."
This...this...
These words sounded like a fantasy to the man in the top hat, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that while the idea of a superpowered potion was far-fetched, it wasn't impossible.
How can you prove your information is true?
Yang Xi shrugged. "What do you think made me stronger?"
It's an implication, a blatant implication!
The man in the top hat hesitated and said, "An...a superpower potion?"
Yang Xi smiled slightly but did not answer. Instead, he suddenly completed his transformation to three times his normal size.
