Heroes Gather

Then as soon as he stepped through the door, Li Wei's eyes were dazzled.

Men and women, young and old, all of them were there, and they were making full use of their superpowers.

If an ordinary person were faced with these special pastimes, they'd probably be severely injured or even killed on the spot.

But with the constitutions of superheroes, they wouldn't die from it; a bit of pain only made it more thrilling for them.

In fact, ever since Soldier Boy of Payback and Liberty Belle founded this special event in 1952, the first few editions did see a large number of call girls joining in.

But back then, it got so bloody that even Vought, which usually didn't want to meddle, had to step in and put a stop to it. Later, it was changed so only superheroes could participate.

And ever since entering the house, as he kept moving, Li Wei's system had vibrated multiple times, prompting him that there were superpowers available for copying.

But well, most of them were useless abilities like Love Sausage.

Aside from its extreme lethality, the biggest trait of Compound V was its unpredictability—no one ever knew what superpower they'd get after injection.

In fact, the ones who became superheroes, pushed to the forefront by Vought to face the public, endorse products, and sell goods, were all carefully selected.

Most of the others who got Compound V ended up as test subjects or were simply disposed of, because their abilities were often pure garbage, even making them worse off than ordinary people.

As far as Li Wei knew, there was a guy called Slow Motion who did everything painfully slowly. When he felt the urge to pee, he'd wet his pants before he even made it to the bathroom.

Then there was Beast King, who could turn into an animal, but after transforming, his brain became just as stupid as that animal's.

If he turned into a dog, he'd actually eat shit, and if anyone tried to take it from him, he'd fight them to the death.

Hotball—his balls could melt a lot of things like scorching metal spheres, but the attack range? Well, that left something to be desired.

There was also a girl called Little Sky, whose superpower was a sentient turd she'd crapped out.

Later, it evolved, and she could control multiple turds. In a way, it was a pretty impressive superpower—at least Li Wei definitely didn't want to face an enemy like that.

But to Vought, these superheroes couldn't make them any money, so they were worthless.

Similarly, for Li Wei, over ninety percent of the superheroes in this room had no value either.

Occasionally, there were a few who could set fires or discharge electricity, but they were all low-level with little potential, and they had some weird stuff going on with them.

Fuck's sake, Li Wei wished his sense of smell wasn't so sharp—now he couldn't even fool himself.

Fortunately, what gave Li Wei a bit of relief was that Blue Hawk was really pulling his weight this time. Knowing Li Wei didn't like this stuff, he stayed firmly by his side, blocking it all for him.

Just for that, Li Wei would never let him end up like in the original story, ground to death by A-Train.

As he was thinking this, while turning a corner in the hallway, Li Wei suddenly felt his vision darken.

Then a very rough female voice rang out: "Hey, pretty boy, wanna have some fun?"

Looking up, Li Wei saw a massive woman standing there, her skin a purplish-blue, at least 2.3 meters tall, with an arm thicker than his thigh, staring at him with a burning gaze.

When she noticed him looking back, she licked her lips greedily.

Li Wei's heart immediately went, What the fuck. He recognized her—a third-rate superhero who'd gotten too wild with ordinary people, causing multiple cases of permanent lower-body paralysis, and had been jailed several times for it: She-Beast!

Even though the system prompt popped up again, indicating she had a power he could copy, Li Wei didn't even bother to look. He had no intention of driving that kind of heavy tank!

He just gave a slightly awkward smile, then turned to look at Blue Hawk, who also looked pretty cowed: "Blue Hawk?"

Blue Hawk forced an awkward smile too: "Hello, She-Beast."

She-Beast licked her lips: "You two want to join in together? I don't mind."

The Boys' Summit had a very important rule that everyone had to follow: consent.

Otherwise, if it were anywhere else, she wouldn't bother asking for permission—she'd just grab whoever she wanted and be done with it!

Li Wei was about to say something to get rid of her quickly when the system prompt popped up again.

He only glanced at it out of habit, and then he was stunned.

Codename: None

Type: Energy Type

Special Ability 1: Otherworld Teleportation—after accumulating enough energy, can open a portal to another world.

Once used, obtains a teleportation beacon for the target world, allowing relatively free travel back and forth.

If permission is not granted, the other party cannot pass through.

When strong enough and with sufficient energy, it may be possible to bring others along for the trip.

The maximum number of teleportation beacons available at the same time depends on overall strength, energy, etc.

Can be fully copied; estimated continuous contact required: 565 minutes.

The Boys' World actually had a superpower this strong? Not only had he never heard of it, he'd never even imagined it!

If he could cross over to the neighboring DC and bring that guy who wears his underwear on the outside—Superman—what the hell would Homelander be? He wouldn't even count as a threat!

Scanning around quickly, Li Wei's gaze soon landed on a Rune Warrior with earrings and lip rings, her arms and thighs covered in tattoos.

When she noticed him looking, she gave him a rather seductive wink, clearly interested in him too.

Li Wei made up his mind on the spot. Nearly ten hours was a long time, sure, but for the sake of her superpower, he'd have to throw himself into the tiger's den!

Still, this woman didn't look like a good person at all. Was she some kind of biological hazard?

Well, worst case I'll just knock her out and hold her while I sleep.

"Blue Hawk, do you know her?"

Following his gaze, Blue Hawk let out an "oh." "That's Teresa. She doesn't have any real superpowers—just basic physical enhancement."

If we're talking status, the two of them definitely didn't match. But if it was just looks and figure, she actually fit Li Wei's tastes pretty well.

In fact, the first time Blue Hawk saw Li Wei and Starlight appearing together on TV, he'd already realized Vought was definitely pushing their couple image. Otherwise, how could Li Wei possibly be interested in someone with a kid-like body like Starlight's?

As a friend, he figured he knew Li Wei's preferences pretty well. Besides needing to be good-looking, Li Wei liked them big!

No superpowers? No, more accurately, her energy was insufficient—she simply couldn't use her abilities!

Li Wei made his decision on the spot: "Excuse me, Blue Hawk, She-Beast. You two have fun."

Blue Hawk was momentarily dumbfounded. "Hey, wait, bro!"

He felt the urge to curse. You picked a good one for yourself, fine, I wasn't going to fight you for it anyway—but why'd you have to stick me with a She-Beast?

We agreed to take down villains and beauties together, and you're making me take this she-bear?

The She-Beast, though a bit disappointed, still laughed heartily and grabbed Blue Hawk by the neck, dragging him into the next room like a chicken.

Li Wei chuckled to himself. Sorry, bro. I'll find a way to make it up to you later.

Walking straight up to Teresa, Li Wei said very directly, "Hey, beautiful. Interested in having some fun?"

Teresa felt he looked familiar. Even though most Asians looked the same to her, she rarely ran into one this handsome. She must have seen him somewhere before.

But she couldn't be bothered to think too hard about it. She hadn't come here just out of curiosity for this special event—she wanted to find some fun!

"Of course, handsome. I'm very interested. I just don't know if you can satisfy me."

"Don't worry. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll be so happy you'll forget everything that happened tonight!"
