The Boys' Summit Invitation

Blue Hawk immediately replied without hesitation: "Of course!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a virtual prompt popped into Li Wei's mind: "Hero Compendium activated successfully. Please check."

Following that was a spinning, ethereal miniature figure of Blue Hawk, the difference being that this figure held a bow and arrow—this was Blue Hawk in combat stance.

Codename: Blue Hawk Type: Power Type Special Ability 1: Hawk Vision—vision surpassing that of ordinary raptors, including both static and dynamic sight. Fully copyable, estimated continuous contact required: 6 seconds. Special Ability 2: Master Archer—fully copyable, estimated continuous contact required: 9 seconds.

Li Wei felt extremely satisfied. Mastering a brand-new ability in just a few seconds? That was ridiculously powerful!

He immediately chose to copy Hawk Vision, then proactively stepped forward, slung an arm around the other's shoulder, and asked with great enthusiasm: "Alright, Blue Hawk, my brother, got any plans for where to go today?"

At the same time, he began to sense his internal energy draining at a very steady pace.

But that pace was like poking a single needle hole into a sack of flour—the loss was negligible.

Even though the system didn't give him precise numbers for his energy, Li Wei felt he could keep this up for an entire day!

Although Li Wei seemed a bit off today, Blue Hawk didn't think much of it. Everyone has their good days and bad days, but he figured that once they got through the next activity, Li Wei's mood would definitely turn around.

He chuckled: "I was thinking we stick to our usual route and keep patrolling the next street. I'm aiming for at least ten beatdowns today."

Li Wei immediately understood—Blue Hawk was going out to rough people up again.

"Then I'll match your number, but you need to watch your force today. Last time you pinned a guy down and pounded him so hard you blew up the curb. Even if you changed clothes, it'd be easy for people to connect it to us supes."

"You know there are plenty of Black supes among us too. If they come looking for trouble because of this, I won't be able to step in and help." Li Wei said with pointed meaning.

In fact, in the original storyline, this very thing caused a conflict between Blue Hawk and A-Train, one of The Seven.

Later, because of the clash, he left A-Train's biological brother paralyzed from the waist down. In the end, A-Train dragged him face-down across the road, grinding his face off, and his heart was even "donated" to A-Train. His fate was truly miserable.

Even though Blue Hawk wasn't a good person himself, they shared a common hobby, so Li Wei threw in a casual reminder.

"Fine, I get it. That's why I'm not doing it in our New Jersey—I go to New York instead."

Blue Hawk agreed verbally, but he didn't take it seriously at all. As a supe, how many would actually pick a fight with a colleague over standing up for some ordinary person?

You really believe what they show in the movies? That's just to trick fools out of their money!

Li Wei could tell the other wasn't taking it to heart. To be honest, Blue Hawk had a bit of cleverness to him. Vought International's supes were spread across almost all of America, but New York was the exception.

Because that was their home base, with the strongest—The Seven—stationed there. The New York City government figured they didn't need to waste money playing the fool.

And in reality, nothing major had ever happened there. But petty theft, muggings, murders, and the occasional bank robbery still occurred from time to time. That was the so-called "darkness under the lamp."

So for supes not assigned to New York, if they dropped by for some fun now and then, both Vought and the NYC government knew about it and didn't bother to care.

"Oh, right, I heard this year's Boys' Summit is opening next week. You going or not?"

Blue Hawk asked casually, never expecting Li Wei to agree.

In his view, Li Wei was a total oddball among supes. He kept himself way too clean, didn't touch anything shady. He'd heard that back at Godolkin University, Li Wei was super popular but never dated a single girl.

He'd even suspected Li Wei was a gay at one point. But after a few times hanging out and beating people up together, that suspicion quickly faded—Li Wei still liked checking out the tits and asses of the girls on the street.

Still, he seriously suspected Li Wei was still a virgin!

Unexpectedly, Li Wei was interested this time: "The one Soldier Boy originally founded?"

Blue Hawk paused for a moment, then nodded instinctively: "Yeah, Soldier Boy and Liberty Belle started it back in 1952. Only supes can join, once a year, and it's been going ever since. This time, it's being hosted by the TNT Twins from Payback."

Payback was the supe team Soldier Boy belonged to, once the strongest team around. But word was Soldier Boy got killed by the Russians later, and without their strongest member, Payback was quickly overtaken and surpassed by The Seven.

The TNT Twins might be past their prime now, but they'd had their glory days. They were basically the ones in charge of hosting the Boys' Summit every year.

Li Wei thought it over and finally nodded in agreement: "Alright, I'm in. Don't forget to call me when the time comes."

Even though most of the attendees would be third-rate nobodies, there'd still be a crowd. As the New Jersey Guardian, most people should be willing to give him face and become his nominal friends.

Some might even act ecstatic, throwing themselves at him to grovel.

If each person gave him just 0.1 tons of power, with thirty or fifty of them, his strength could double.

And if there were any supes with special abilities among them, that would be an even greater surprise.

Just then, without any prompt from the system, Li Wei felt as if a layer of fog had been wiped from his eyes. The whole world seemed to brighten.

Immediately after, a flood of knowledge about archery techniques poured into his mind—this was from Blue Hawk's two superpowers!

And it wasn't just rote memorization; it was complete mastery, as if he had personally spent over a decade learning it from scratch.

This kind of overpowered copying—truly worthy of the system. Absolutely unbeatable!

Blue Hawk was delighted too. Though Li Wei's decision to join surprised him, he immediately assumed it was out of respect for him.

He patted his chest and guaranteed: "Don't worry, buddy. If you come, you might just be the brightest star of the event. I'll make sure the TNT Twins save you the girls with the biggest tits!"

For supes, ability mattered, but connections mattered just as much. And Li Wei was the thickest thigh Blue Hawk could latch onto, so he'd do everything he could to suck up!

"Haha, you really do know my tastes. Well, to celebrate early, I'm gonna beat up a few more today!"
