Su Li completely ignored the four of them discussing, because his attention was drawn to a woman walking out of the Detective Bureau across the street!
The woman was very beautiful, but that had nothing to do with Su Li. In this age of information explosion, he had seen plenty of beautiful women. If it was just looks, he might glance a few more times, but he wouldn't really care.
What truly caught Su Li's attention was that the moment that woman appeared in his line of sight, a blue screen suddenly materialized before him, along with the information displayed on it.
Name: Ye Mohan
Level: E+
Talent: Unknown
Evaluation: This is someone you cannot handle at present. Gain control over her, and you will receive five hundred Resource Points.
Su Li stared at the sudden blue screen, then at the woman across the way, his mind churning with shock.
The blue screen was unlikely to be wrong.
This meant that in the real world, another superpowered individual had appeared.
No, more accurately, the person before Su Li was probably just one superpowered individual he happened to encounter. Superpowered individuals might very well be a group.
In this world, in places he didn't know about, there had always been conflicts among superpowered individuals!
For all he knew, the Detective Bureau was the organization managing superpowered beings!
Countless scenarios instantly flashed through Su Li's mind, drawing heavily from the web novels he'd read before, but he believed them without a doubt!
[Good thing I've kept a low profile. This random person I ran into is E+. My strength really isn't up to par yet!]
[I need to stick to the principle of playing it safe and developing quietly!]
[D+ was the level of that Cloud-Devouring Python. This world is too dangerous. I have to at least grow to C+!]
[...]
Countless thoughts raced through Su Li's mind, and he finally resolved to act as if he knew nothing, just keep developing like this—it was fine.
"Hey, hey, Old Su!" Zhang Yu nudged Su Li and said, "What are you spacing out for? Let's go!"
"Oh, right!"
Snapping back to reality, Su Li took a quiet breath and, as if nothing had happened, followed the four of them away from the place.
On the other side, after Su Li and his group left, the woman named Ye Mohan also stepped into a black Audi parked in front of the door.
Inside the car sat a woman whose age was hard to tell. Seeing Ye Mohan enter, she quickly composed her expression and asked with a hint of respect, "Director, where to?"
"The Superpower Project is about to begin... Let's go to City Hall. I'll trouble you," the woman said lightly, then closed her eyes.
"Alright, hold tight!"
The woman acknowledged, stepped on the gas, and the car shot forward.
Because of Ye Mohan, Su Li was restless, distracted, and unfocused all afternoon. But even so, he still left Miao Yunxi and the other three utterly stunned.
Whether it was him taking on five opponents alone, or those five taking on him alone, except for some truly hopeless situations, Su Li never lost a match.
In the entire afternoon, under Su Li's lead, the five of them didn't lose a single round!
"Bro, how come I feel like your skills have gotten even better?" On the way back, Zheng Hongyu said with a face full of admiration.
"That's your imagination. Your Bro Su's skills have always been this strong!" Su Li said calmly.
"Oh, oh!"
"..."
"Yaoyao, your Old Zheng has no backbone at all!" On the other side, Miao Yunxi whispered.
"It's not that bad. After all, Su Li's skills really have improved a lot!" Chen Yiyao said, then, as if remembering something, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Miao Yunxi.
"Yunxi, I remember you said before that Su Li is good in every way except for being a bit bad at games. Now that Su Li's gotten better at games too, shouldn't you start thinking about it?"
Miao Yunxi: "..."
Who am I? Where am I? What were we talking about just now?
Women always have a matchmaking streak, and once they get the idea, it's unstoppable—especially when they're in love themselves.
Take Chen Yiyao, for example. She suddenly became full of interest in this matter!
"Yunxi, don't rush. Let me talk it over with Zheng Hongyu first and see if it can work out!" Chen Yiyao added.
Miao Yunxi: "..."
Su Li naturally had no idea that Chen Yiyao was already worrying about his lifelong matters. After returning to the dorm, he chatted briefly with Zhang Yu, then hurriedly entered the Virtual Universe.
As for Zheng Hongyu, that guy naturally stayed outside to play with his girlfriend!
After seeing Ye Mohan this morning, Su Li had been filled with a sense of urgency. He made up his mind—even if it felt uncomfortable, he would push his level up in one go.
Otherwise, if he was too weak while holding onto a treasure like the Virtual Universe, he would never feel at ease!
A minute later, Su Li entered the Virtual Universe.
Su Li first went to Gorol Star, picked up his One-handed Sword and Speedy Food Processor, then headed straight for the Primal Star.
With a shua, his feet landed on solid ground. Su Li surveyed his surroundings, then picked a random direction and walked forward cautiously.
Su Li was no longer the greenhorn who had just arrived on the Primal Star. He knew that in this dense forest, danger lurked everywhere. If he didn't want to become someone else's meal, he had to be extra careful!
Although dying here didn't mean true death for Su Li, every death would waste three days of his time—something he couldn't tolerate!
After walking cautiously for a while, Su Li soon found his first prey—a wild boar of considerable size.
Name: Su Lie Pig
Level: F-
Traits: Strength, Defense
Evaluation: This is a wild boar with a lower level than you, but its strength is beyond your imagination.
Su Li glanced at the information on the blue screen and instantly knew this wild boar was no pushover.
Due to its racial traits, this boar's strength far exceeded that of an ordinary F- creature, even surpassing some F-class beasts in raw power.
Still, Su Li had no intention of backing down.
Generally speaking, the stronger a beast of the same level, the more benefits Su Li would gain from killing it. This wild boar was likely among the top-tier F- creatures. Since he had run into it, it would be a real shame not to take it down!
Moreover, Su Li's odds of victory were quite good. The boar might be strong, but its agility was certainly inferior to his. On top of that, he had a One-handed Sword sharp enough to cut through iron like mud. Against this blade, the boar's defensive advantage was greatly diminished.
Having clearly assessed the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and formulated a battle plan for the boar, Su Li hesitated no longer. He gripped his One-handed Sword and stepped forward...
