Outside Misty Rain Summer Wind, Su Li held Zheng Hongyu, who was nearly unconscious, and said to Xia Ke, "You drank quite a bit too. Go back and rest!"
"Mm!"
Xia Ke's face was slightly flushed. After nodding, she fell silent!
"See you, then!"
Su Li said nothing more. He dragged Zheng Hongyu outside.
Behind Su Li, Zhang Yu and Zhao Shengkai were staring strangely at the two people ahead of them.
They had witnessed quite a show. First, Xia Ke had been forced by Zheng Hongyu to drink until she was nearly blackout drunk. Then Su Li had bravely blocked Zheng Hongyu's advances for her before launching a fierce counterattack.
At first, the two of them had thought Su Li would be the one they had to carry back today. After all, for every cup Zheng Hongyu drank, Su Li had to drink two!
But who could have imagined that Su Li would drink straight from the bottle, abruptly drinking Zheng Hongyu into a daze? And so things had turned into what they were now: Zheng Hongyu was dead drunk and being dragged out of Misty Rain Summer Wind by Su Li.
"Old Zheng is really pitiful!" Zhang Yu said quietly.
"Yeah. He played the villain who pressured people to drink, while Su Li played the hero saving the beauty! But in the end, he was the one Su Li got drunk, while Su Li didn't have a single problem. You can't even describe that as merely pitiful!" Zhao Shengkai said with deep sympathy.
"Su Li became the final winner!" Zhang Yu concluded.
"Mm!"
"Old Zheng really did a great job!" Zhang Yu added.
"Mm. He left this world peacefully!"
"..."
Su Li ignored the two people muttering behind him. He walked ahead alone, his face completely expressionless--
He now suspected that he was actually scum, the most thorough kind of scum!
In truth, he didn't have any particular feelings for Xia Ke.
Yet from the beginning, he had never clearly objected to the things the others had done. At certain crucial moments, he had even taken the initiative to cooperate...
At the time, Su Li hadn't thought that much about it. He had simply acted according to his instincts!
Now that he thought about it, how similar his behavior was to that of a sleazy playboy. He had flirted with her, yet hadn't even considered taking any responsibility!
"My standards may be a little low, but I've always thought I was a good person!" Su Li couldn't help muttering to himself.
What on earth was going on?!!
Half an hour later, the three of them returned to the dormitory.
Su Li tossed Zheng Hongyu onto his bed, then began pondering the meaning of life.
Zhang Yu immediately climbed onto his bed and started following his comics.
As for Zhao Shengkai, that guy was probably chatting with someone. He had become unusually quiet on the way back and was now completely silent.
For a moment, the entire dormitory was utterly quiet.
In that tranquil atmosphere, time quietly reached three o'clock in the afternoon.
Three-oh-one--
"Oh my god!"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"..."
Three-ten--
"Ooooooh!"
"Something huge happened! Something huge happened!"
"..."
Su Li: "..."
Listening to the nonstop wailing, Su Li no longer had any mood to ponder the meaning of life.
"What happened? Is it the end of the world? What are you screaming about down there?" Su Li shouted toward the floor below.
"It is the end of the world, bro. Go check the Donghai City official website yourselves!"
The person below answered once, then fell silent.
A moment later, just as Su Li was feeling puzzled, even more people began howling.
It seemed that the earlier remark—"Go check the Donghai City official website yourselves"—had had a considerable effect.
"Holy crap, it blew up! It blew up! Su Li, Zhao Shengkai, hurry up and take a look!" At that moment, Zhang Yu actually leaped out of bed, his face showing an expression as though he'd been royally screwed over.
"What happened?" Su Li asked.
"Something major. I can't explain it well, but... just go see for yourself!"
"..."
Seeing this, Su Li didn't bother asking further. He took out his phone, searched for the "Donghai City official website," and entered it after a moment.
The network was extremely slow, but after a while, Su Li finally squeezed his way in.
"This..."
Su Li stared at the Donghai City official website, completely dumbfounded.
Everything that had been there before was gone. The only things remaining on the page were a few lonely videos.
"Was this hacked?"
As that thought arose in Su Li's mind, his hands didn't stop moving. He directly clicked the first video.
After a long loading process, the video finally appeared.
There was only a table and one person in the video.
"I'm Ye Fangxing, the current mayor of Donghai City. Now, I'm going to announce some news..."
Su Li: "..."
"Two years ago, in other words, in 2017, a research achievement that would change the world was born. It was called 'Superpower Technology.' After approximately two years of improvements, this technology has now fully matured. Therefore, the country has decided to make it public. Those who are interested can learn from the video below."
When the video finished playing, Su Li fell into a daze as well.
If he hadn't heard wrong, the mayor of Donghai City seemed to have mentioned the words "superpower."
Thinking of Ye Mohan, whom he had encountered on the road a few days ago, Su Li knew that this mayor might not be joking.
"Holy crap!"
Although he cursed, Su Li's hands did not hesitate. He clicked on the next video.
Perhaps to prove the authenticity of the "Superhuman technology," three people appeared in the second video.
One stood before a Force Tester and punched out a reading of 1,000 kilograms.
Another stood at the starting line and took approximately four seconds to run one hundred meters. At that speed, even the likes of Bolt could only kneel on the ground and sing "I Surrender."
The last was the most exaggerated. He was playing with fire, manipulating that ball of flame into eight hundred different forms with seemingly complete ease.
"To turn the most useless talent into something like this... He's gotten his money's worth out of this life!" Su Li's mood gradually calmed. He could never have predicted that things would suddenly turn out like this, but in a certain sense, this wasn't a bad thing for him!
A moment later, Su Li opened the third video.
"Ye Mohan? Is that her?"
When he saw the person in the third video, Su Li's eyes narrowed at once.
"I'm Ye Mohan. Effective today, the Donghai City Detective Bureau has been established. I will serve as its director and take overall charge of all matters concerning the superhumans of Donghai. Regarding superhumans, we have formulated the following eight regulations..."
Su Li: ??!
