"The Female, this is Jessica Jones."
Su Quan looked again at the controlled Himiko and pointed at her head. "Her name is Himiko, and there's something wrong with her mind. We can only control her temporarily and let her slowly adapt."
"It's getting late, Jessica. Get rooms ready for The Female and Himiko. We'll talk about anything else tomorrow."
They had a stomach full of questions they wanted to ask, but Su Quan looked ready to rest, so they could only suppress their curiosity and leave it for tomorrow.
Jessica Jones picked up the controlled Himiko with one hand, gave an unexpected greeting to The Female, who did not seem surprised by this, and left Su Quan's bedroom together.
There were plenty of empty rooms on the second floor, and while picking their rooms, Jessica Jones and The Female curiously questioned and probed each other.
The more experienced The Female quickly discovered something was wrong. Jessica Jones actually did not know Homelander, did not know The Seven, and had never even heard of Vought International—this made her feel ridiculous!
Vought International's superheroes already had a global reach, and even remote and backward cities had third-rate superheroes dispatched by them to protect them. How could she have never heard of them?
What was even more absurd was that this was Manhattan, and Vought International's headquarters was right in Manhattan. How could she have never heard of it? How could she not know?
The only possibility was that this place was probably no longer their original world.
The Female had also heard talk of parallel worlds.
He, a mysterious man whose name she hadn't even asked yet, had actually brought her to another world?!
All of this was absurd yet real.
It was like a dream, yet illusory.
This night, some tossed and turned and found it hard to fall asleep, while others dropped their heads and immediately drifted into sweet dreams. Just like the multitudes of living beings, everyone was different.
The next morning, early.
Using "I can't get up in the morning, don't blame me, blame the bed!" as an excuse, Su Quan used Friday to understand what had happened during the days he was away, and then began to tally up the harvest from this trip.
Although he was only gone for a few days, the harvest was quite substantial.
He obtained some abilities from Homelander, Queen Maeve, Starlight, Elongated Man, Himiko, and others, and even used points to upgrade the detection range once.
Himiko and The Female had come back with him, and Starlight and Queen Maeve could be plotted against slowly.
The most crucial part was knowing that the Super Soldier Serum could be infinitely nested, and verifying the success rate of the injections and whether it was compatible with Compound V.
The basic objectives had all been achieved, and the next step was to take the first step in development.
Su Quan rolled over and got out of bed, breaking free from the shackles of bed-temptation. The glory of Nato Tong began with recruiting personnel—
An hour or later, after finishing breakfast, Su Quan wielded his brush with flying momentum. Jessica Jones and The Female curiously surrounded him on both sides, and Jessica Jones read aloud as she looked:
"Job posting."
"Position 1: Courier"
"Job Responsibilities: 1. Able to carry out daily pick-up and delivery work in accordance with the company's standard operating procedures. 2. Purposefully develop clients. 3. Able to package express mail and fill out waybills according to company requirements."

"Salary and Benefits: Three-month probation period, 1,000 USD/month during probation, 2,200 USD/month after turning full-time."
Jessica Jones watched Su Quan finish writing the company address and contact number, smacked her lips and said, "Your job posting feels so professionally written. By the way, what work are we going to do?"
"Be couriers first; there will be other arrangements later."
In free America, gunfights happen every day. Before the Super Soldier Legion was cultivated, he needed superhumans like Jessica Jones and The Female to open up the situation so as not to be looted for zero dollars.
Su Quan had already figured it out. Before the personnel were cultivated, he would only run flash-delivery businesses, which meant rapid delivery within the same district, gradually radiating from Manhattan to the entirety of New York.
"The Female, your and Himiko's treatment will be the same as Jessica's. Room and board provided during the probation period, and 3,000 USD per month after turning full-time."
"I have no objections."
Although The Female had once been extremely popular, she had quickly faded from the spotlight and didn't have much savings left; she could barely even afford her apartment's rent.
The dollars weren't much, but in this brand-new and unfamiliar world, she was already very content. After all, in her original world, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to find a 3,000 USD job unless—
Those who know, know!
PS: Considered a transition chapter. Setting up this courier company is mainly to have a justifiable peripheral force in the initial stage and to cultivate personnel.
PS: Recommending my other works: "Marvel: King's Arrival", "The Vampire: Strongest Reaper", "Marvel: Door-Door Fruit", "American Comics: Strongest Villain", "KO Ranking: Strongest God of War", "I Have a Dimensional Street in Marvel", "In American Dramas: Get Stronger by Spending Money!"
"Excuse me, are you hiring people here?"
An intellectual and beautiful middle-aged woman held a flyer and stood at the doorway, smiling as she asked Su Quan, who had just come down the stairs.
Jessica Jones and The Female had gone out to copy and paste the freshly printed job postings, and they hadn't returned yet. Unexpectedly, the applicant came first, which put Su Quan—who had failed to communicate with Himiko—in a much better mood.
"Applying for the clerk position?" Su Quan walked over and looked the other person up and down carefully, but was stunned by her appearance.
Aunt May?
With a fine appearance and figure, and a fair temperament, wasn't this precisely the future guardian of Spider-Man Peter Parker, Aunt May!
Didn't she live in Queens? How did she run all the way to Manhattan to find a job?
"My name is May Parker, and I'd like to apply for the clerk position." Aunt May introduced herself proactively, her demeanor composed and graceful as she spoke of her abilities and her confidence in doing the job well.
"That'll do. You're hired."
"Ah?"
"Working hours are eight to five, with one day off a week. Can you accept that?"
"Yes!"
"When can you start work?"
"I can start right now!"
"Good, consider today your first day!"
Su Quan nodded in satisfaction and pointed to the empty hall beside him, "This will be your office area from now on. As you can see, the company is just starting out and everything is waiting to be rebuilt. The first thing you need to do is go buy office equipment like computer desks and chairs."
With that, he pulled out 50,000 USD and handed it to Aunt May. "Just buy whatever is needed for the office. Buy the best. Refunds for overages, make up the difference if it falls short. Get it done before dark. Any problems?"
"No, no problems."
"Then go."
"..."
Aunt May walked out of the company holding the money in a daze. I—did I actually get hired just like that?
Was it really this casual?
No need to verify whether I have the ability or if I was lying?
This little boss is just too decisive!
And he actually dared to hand the purchasing task over to a newly hired employee to do all by herself; wasn't he afraid that she would run away with the money or falsely report the prices?
It was the first time Aunt May had ever met such a—such a down-to-earth boss. To be honest, she couldn't help but worry a little about the company's prospects. Wouldn't the company's or the little boss's money get scammed away by someone?
Although she was newly hired, and although she didn't even know what the little boss's name was yet, Aunt May was already worrying herself sick over the company.
After Jessica Jones and The Female returned, Su Quan told them about Aunt May's employment and the purchase of office equipment. If anyone else came to apply, he would let them handle the interviews.
"You're dumping things on us, and you? What are you going to do? You—you aren't going to leave again, are you? You only got back last night!" Jessica Jones felt things were getting more and more wrong the more she heard, and instinctively grabbed Su Quan's arm.
Su Quan was speechless, and chuckled lightly, "Your reactions are pretty fast. I'm just going to get the funding to run the company, and I can be back in two or three hours."
"Really?"
"Really!"
Having received Su Quan's guarantee, Jessica Jones finally let go of him.
Going upstairs to put on the scavenger-specific backpack, Su Quan—after a lapse of many days—once again eagerly teleported to the Void.
The sky was gloomy, and patches of dark clouds hung low as if they were about to fall.
From time to time, there were deafening roars and dazzling lights, giving people a sense of fear.
In the distance, pockmarked and riddled architectural ruins stood in piles, resembling the end of the world.
This was the Void, the end of the timeline, and also the "garbage dump" of the timeline.
At the same time, this was also Su Quan's cornucopia and adventure ground; every time he came scavenging, it was full of anticipation and surprises!
Having come several times, he had found quite a lot.
The ruins of the New York Sanctum that should have been guarded by the Sorcerer Supreme or Doctor Strange;
The crumbling wreckage of Stark Tower that could collapse at any moment;
Before you continue
