"What's got you so happy? Is it what you're drawing?"
Skye propped herself up on one elbow curiously, lifting her upper body and stretching out her slender neck to peek at the drawing in his hands.
On the paper was a graceful figure being chased and struck by tiny bolts of lightning falling from the sky, looking utterly panicked.
She exclaimed, "Li, you got such a special inspiration just from hearing thunder?"
"It's not inspiration or anything. I'm just drawing casually."
Ye Li flipped the page and began sketching something new on a blank sheet.
With his superb skills, a beautiful girl quickly appeared on the page.
The girl lay on the bed, propping herself up with one arm and peeking forward curiously.
She looked cute yet sexy.
Why sexy?
Because what he had drawn... was naked.
Skye's eyes widened. Wasn't that her?
"Li!"
She hurriedly reached out to snatch the drawing away—sure enough, once an artist got horny, nobody else mattered!
"No lewd drawings! o(≧口≦)o"
Ye Li moved the sketchpad away and grinned mischievously. "Don't rush, Skye. This is how I draw beautiful women. I'll put clothes on her right away."
Of course, he didn't actually need to draw her like that first. He was just deliberately teasing Skye.
As the two played around on the bed,
Ye Li added a few strokes and put clothes on Skye. "All right, all right, stop biting me. I've finished your drawing."
Skye glanced at the picture and said irritably, "You're not allowed to show it to anyone, especially boys!"
Even though Ye Li had added clothes, it still felt strange. She sternly warned him not to show it to anyone else.
"Why would I?"
Ye Li tore off the page and handed it to her. "If you're worried, you can handle it yourself~ Tear it up or burn it, whatever you want."
"Hmph~ Who said I wanted to tear it up?"
Skye huffed softly and carefully put it away—Li had drawn it for her, so she would have to frame and preserve it properly when she got home~
"How's your progress over there?"
Ye Li glanced at Skye's computer screen as well. "Oh-ho~ You've already hacked in."
He reached out and tapped a few keys. "The military? You've got some nerve."
Skye was confused. How were you so familiar with this? (゜-゜)?
Ye Li casually browsed through it for a while and really did find something, such as a database codenamed "Hulk."
Banner had now been chased by General Ross to a Brazilian slum. He and Stark were practically fellow sufferers.
"Li, this place is pretty nice~"
Skye stretched lazily and looked out at the clearing sky after the rain. "Why not set up a branch for the club like this too?
Maybe then Ghost-Spider will come looking for us~
After all, high floors are more convenient for her, right?"
Little sister, did she think this was free...
Ye Li had plenty of money, but not the kind that could never run out.
Maybe it was time to think of a way to make a huge, steady stream of money.
But he didn't want to spend too much effort on it.
So ideally, he wouldn't have to trouble himself much, and money would come pouring in endlessly.
Unfortunately, Norman Osborn, who had been transformed into a summon, was dull-witted and only retained combat instincts. Otherwise, Ye Li could have squeezed some value out of the Osborn Corporation.
Beep~
Jessica Jones sent him a message at that moment: Brother! I contacted Ghost-Spider! She agreed to meet with someone from our club! I've decided to entrust this important task to you, the vice president! Get ready, and you'd better prepare a gift for the meeting!
A whole pile of exclamation marks...
Ye Li wondered whether he had spoiled her too much. Why was she so energetic all day long? What was she up to this time?
Gwen was going to meet me as Ghost-Spider?
A Sudden Realization! Heading to the Afghan Desert!
Hmm... he really did need to prepare a gift.
Ye Li checked some of the random rewards he had obtained earlier in Hell's Kitchen:
Master Ball: It could capture any Pokémon!
Lightsaber: May the Force be with you.
Elder Wand: Avada Kedavra!
Fire Kirin AK-47: Rat-a-tat-tat~
Modified Golden Light Spell: Mere mortals...
Tifa's Photo: Jerusalem, forever the greatest!
"..."
Ye Li hesitated.
Master Ball? What would he capture with it... No.
Lightsaber? What if he accidentally held it backward? Too dangerous... No.
Elder Wand? Gwen couldn't use magic... No.
Fire Kirin... forget it.
The Modified Golden Light Spell was pretty good. Gwen was good at Chinese, so she could try learning it. Worth considering.
Tifa's Photo... ah... that didn't count.
After thinking for a while, only the Modified Golden Light Spell seemed suitable.
But Ye Li intended to teach the Modified Golden Light Spell to Jessica Jones and the others too, so he needed to add something else.
Maybe he could help improve her Web-Shooters.
Ye Li had the relevant scientific knowledge to develop Web-Shooters, but he lacked a research lab or something.
Right...
Wasn't Stark still kidnapped in Afghanistan and not yet back?
If he went and pulled him out, forget Web-Shooters—he might even be able to get Gwen and the others a couple of high-tech suits.
Hmm... and while he was at it, he could make some money off Stark Industries stock. Perfect!
Besides, although Ye Li wasn't familiar with Tony, they did have some acquaintance. Saving him while he was at it was no big deal.
Ye Li felt as though everything had suddenly become clear. He took Skye's laptop and searched through the military intelligence database.
Sure enough, Rhodey was already searching for his best friend, and terrorist bases in several areas had been ruled out.
All Ye Li had to do was search the remaining areas, and he would be able to rescue Stark.
And so,
over the next two days,
news frequently spread through the Middle Eastern desert regions that terrorist gathering places had been struck by divine punishment.
If it wasn't a sandstorm, it was dry thunderstorms.
The terrorists were thrown into a panic, and their organizations were nearly falling apart.
Originally, Ye Li couldn't be bothered with these terrorists, but whenever he entered their territory to look for someone, they always greeted him with bullets and artillery fire.
He was helpless too. He could only fulfill their wishes and send them to meet Allah.
And now,
Ye Li, flying through the air, spotted a settlement in the distant desert.
It didn't look like a terrorist base. It looked more like an ordinary civilian village.
There was only one area left that he had not searched, so he decided to go down and ask around.
Whoosh—!
A boy digging everywhere for water suddenly saw a pitch-black figure descend not far from him.
He cried out in alarm and fearfully asked Ye Li, "...Are you a god?"
