Li Chen Became Famous Too
[Congratulations, host! You have won the following item in the lottery: Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon!]
[Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon: Boros's ultimate technique, a massive energy wave unleashed from his mouth after accumulating all the energy within his body, powerful enough to destroy the Earth.]
Li Chen was also surprised when he saw what he had drawn.
It really is a mid-level lottery, awesome!
Boros is the main villain of the first season of One-Punch Man. He is an alien, the leader of the Dark Matter Thieves, and the overlord of the universe. He roams the universe without fear and has never been defeated.
He believed the prophecy that on a distant Earth, there was someone who could fight Boros to a standstill.
So he spent twenty years coming to Earth, and finally had a final battle with Saitama.
In the end, he used all his energy, but was still defeated by Saitama. Before he died, he admitted that he was no match for Saitama.
In the established lore, he is a threat of Dragon Level or higher, and is considered to be on par with Garou in his fully monstrous form.
His signature move is the Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon.
"It wouldn't be bad if it could destroy the Earth."
Li Chen thought to himself.
Although Kryptonians themselves are even more monstrous, capable of pushing planets through the universe...
But having more skills is never a bad thing!
And compared to other things, this is already considered good.
[I'll definitely do it next time!]
[...]
After ten consecutive draws, he still only got two items, but Li Chen felt he had made a great profit.
Sure enough, the quality of the items I drew improved.
Of course, it's also possible that one's methods were effective and one was simply lucky.
Unfortunately, there were no fragments...
He also wanted to recruit a few more characters, preferably female ones.
"Eek!"
Mary Jane felt even less pain; he had instinctively exerted himself and was now awake.
Her eyes were still somewhat dazed until she saw Li Chen's face, at which point she recalled the horror of yesterday.
Her face paled slightly. "No, I really can't."
Mary Jane was initially a little embarrassed to face Gwen Stacy, but in the end, she could only work together with Gwen Stacy to survive.
In that instant, she truly felt like she was going to die.
That's when she realized Gwen Stacy wasn't joking...
Li Chen is simply inhuman!
"You all get some rest."
Li Chen smiled and had no choice but to get up.
When I arrived in the living room, Rem had already prepared breakfast.
Then, he saw Saitama- sensei looking embarrassed.
Saitama looked completely bewildered at that moment, scratching his bald head and grinning sheepishly at Li Chen.
"Li Chen- sang, I'm so sorry."
Saitama is a good person.
So Li Chen waved his hand. "No need to apologize. If it were me, I wouldn't have stood idly by either."
And he also has to thank Saitama.
If Saitama hadn't shown up, how could his reputation have increased so much?
However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, just as God created day and also created night.
Saitama was deeply moved by Li Chen's words and quickly ran away.
Li Chen, confused, ate the knife-cut noodles that Rem had just learned to make while turning on the TV.
Then... he saw his own face on television.
The TV presenter was enthusiastically introducing Saitama and explaining his background.
"Chen Li is the founder of Starlight Pictures. According to reliable sources who have not revealed their names, he was the one who spearheaded the creation of the One-Punch Man manga..."
"Therefore, we have reason to believe that he definitely knew Saitama, and that he happened to be in New York at the time of the incident..."
Li Chen's expression immediately changed; he hadn't expected things to be so serious.
These despicable guys not only target Saitama, but they've even come after him.
No wonder Saitama had to apologize!
"Saitama, slow down!"
Don't worry, I won't hit you!
Li Chen dropped his chopsticks and rushed out, eventually catching Saitama and giving him a good beating... on the game console.
They were playing Capcom's newly released Street Fighter 4.
In 2009, the 20th anniversary of Street Fighter was released. Although Street Fighter 4 was still a 2D side-scrolling fighting game, it used 3D technology, and the graphics presented a brand-new style that tended towards comics and ink painting effects.
This is already quite innovative for a fighting game of this era.
So Saitama also really enjoys playing it, and he's become addicted to it.
However, even though he enjoys playing, he's still a complete noob.
Li Chen, playing Cammy White, repeatedly crushed Rondo to death.
For Li Chen, who had played Street Fighter 6, this kind of game was incredibly easy.
Li Chen only felt satisfied after Saitama was tortured to the point of questioning his existence.
However, he also had to consider the practical issue of becoming famous by following Saitama.
So what we need to do now is get back to our Ben Affleck in Los Angeles as soon as possible.
"New York is not my territory after all; I shouldn't stay here for long."
I was originally planning to stay here for a while, but plans don't always go as expected.
Sure enough, Li Chen's phone kept ringing; it was all wealthy people in New York inviting him to parties...
Li Chen had no desire to attend this kind of party; they were definitely all there for him.
We need to find an assistant.
Li Chen thought to himself, "At least help me deal with these calls, otherwise all sorts of random people will call me."
It's a pity Gwen Stacy still has to go to school.
He wanted Gwen Stacy to be his assistant from the beginning, but unfortunately Gwen Stacy wasn't old enough to graduate yet.
Li Chen was a decisive person; he acted on his thoughts immediately and went straight back to his room.
He walked to the door and heard two women talking inside.
At this moment Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane were of one mind. "Li is awful, he must be taught a lesson."
"Don't worry, I'll ignore him for two days and absolutely won't speak to him."
Gwen Stacy.
Of course she was angry. Although she wanted to be best friends with Mary Jane for life, it wasn't just for one night.
As a result, Li Chen had already forced her into marriage, how could she not be angry?
It's only because Li Chen went berserk last night that she's even more resentful now.
Upon hearing this, Li Chen remained calm and simply pushed open the door to go inside.
The room fell silent the moment he pushed open the door.
Gwen Stacy lay there pretending to be asleep, while Mary Jane looked at Li Chen with amusement.
Li Chen smiled and asked, "Gwen Stacy isn't up yet?"
She was exhausted.
Mary Jane stifled a laugh.
"Then wait until she gets up and tell her I have to go back to Los Angeles first."
Li Chen knew that Gwen Stacy was shy, but she had her own methods.
Sure enough, as soon as she said that, Gwen Stacy couldn't keep up the act anymore.
"What?"
Gwen Stacy jumped up. "Didn't we say we'd play a little longer?"
"It happened so suddenly, Gwen Stacy."
Li Chen came over and put his arms around the two of them; fortunately, they were understanding.
Upon seeing the situation in the news, he realized that Li Chen could not stay any longer.
Everyone in America talks about freedom and privacy, but they don't respect other people's privacy at all.
Gwen Stacy was furious when she saw the news and angrily denounced Fox Television Station.
But there's nothing we can do; Fox Television Station has no connection to Li Chen, so naturally they won't consider his feelings.
In 2008, at the height of Fox Television Station's success, its viewership in the America surpassed that of CBS, officially becoming the number one news platform in the country. Their news was often known for its boldness and speed.
They are certainly bold, because they dared to eavesdrop on even the Prime Minister of Downing Street; they are simply outrageous.
This was the heyday of Fox Television Station, and they were also in direct competition with Starlight Pictures; 20th Century Fox was also a giant.
Therefore, being able to suppress Li Chen is something to be happy about.
This made Li Chen realize why these wealthy people like to run television stations; it's like their 'mouthpiece,' and without a media group behind them, they are easily smeared.
Although what's in the news right now is all true... if Li Chen owned News Corporation, he wouldn't be in such a passive position; at least he could clear his name.
Unfortunately, it's too late to enter now. Traditional media companies have already been divided up by old money, and there's only one way for newcomers to get in.
Internet!
Li Chen had many thoughts on his mind. Before leaving New York, he played one more game with Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane.
After all, who knows when we'll meet again, and it was they who took the initiative to invite us.
It can only be said that Ghost-Spider was completely won over.
