Let's Go Watch a Nuclear Explosion

The advanced air circulation equipment and the overhead screen simulating sunlight and blue sky make it difficult for the average person to see with the naked eye. No matter how long you stay, it's hard to tell that this is an underground base.

Walking through the long corridor, you can even see a pond of water lilies bathed in the gentle sunlight. Suddenly, the view opens up, and you can see that Su Nanxiu has arrived at the foot of a valley.

The valley is surrounded by towering, snow-capped Snow Mountain that reach into the clouds, with a mighty river flowing through it. At the top of the cliff where the waves crash against the shore, right at the feet of Su Nanxiu and Liu Chang'an, lies a flat training ground where the river breeze blows and makes their clothes flutter.

"Is this a holographic image?" Liu Chang'an clapped his hands in amazement. Of course, he didn't believe that Su Nanxiu could create a paradise underground surrounded by Snow Mountain thousands of meters high. That was no longer the power of technology; it was divine intervention.

"Yes, actually the whole place is only slightly larger than the training ground we're standing in. They use airflow and sound to enhance the sense of presence, so it's not much different from a real environment." Su Nanxiu turned to Liu Chang'an, "Do you need to change clothes? I guarantee there aren't any hidden cameras or anything in the changing room."

As she spoke, Su Nanxiu bit her lip. It was strange. To Su Nanxiu, male humans were no different from other male creatures. The human torso was nothing more than a combination of various cells. She had used countless human males for experiments and dissected them into specimens. But why did she always blush and feel her heart race when she saw Liu Chang'an in front of her, thinking of the torso beneath his clothes?

I can remember things from over a hundred years ago so clearly. I'm a professional biologist now, and I've tried to explain the nature of relationships and emotions between men and women from my professional perspective. Isn't it just a matter of biological instincts and glandular secretions triggering brain reactions? Why is it that when I'm actually facing a man I like, my mind can't be controlled by reason, and I'm always so emotional?

Humans are so interesting. Su Nanxiu's eyes twinkled like stars in the sky.

"No need." Liu Chang'an had no intention of tearing off his shirt today, nor did he intend to use Su Nanxiu's attack to adjust his body. He just wanted Su Nanxiu to understand that he was actually the source of her current supernatural abilities. It's common for students to surpass their teachers, but that only happens in other people's stories.

At the same time, he also wanted to know Su Nanxiu's abilities, not because he was wary of her and wanted to find out more, but simply because he was curious... Liu Chang'an had no way of knowing how Su Nanxiu had transplanted her abilities from Mrs. Karnstein.

Aside from her own curiosity, the method by which Su Nanxiu acquired her ability wasn't actually important. What mattered was whether she enhanced or diminished her ability after obtaining it.

Su Nanxiu is not the kind of person who is complacent or easily satisfied. Since she was able to successfully outmaneuver Mrs. Karnstein, Su Nanxiu will naturally be on guard and may try to eliminate the threat of having her power taken away by others.

Through this process of experimentation and self-transformation, Su Nanxiu's abilities have improved, and it is possible that she could surpass Mrs. Karnstein.

Moreover, considering Su Nanxiu's robots and her current top-tier technological and industrial capabilities, it wouldn't be strange for her to appear in front of him wearing a low-end version of Iron Man's suit.

"Then wait for me a while... It might take a little longer. Should I call Huang Rong over to keep you company?" Su Nanxiu said to Liu Chang'an, still clinging to some hope.

"No need." Liu Chang'an hadn't forgotten who "Huang Rong" was. She wasn't one of Su Nanxiu's subordinates, but rather one of the robots she created... one of those harem robots. Su Nanxiu had used "Huang Rong" as an example to introduce the characteristics of these robots.

In this respect, Liu Chang'an greatly admired her innovative thinking.

Many people like to say that rich people really know how to have fun, but in reality, not every rich person knows how to have fun. It is the super-rich who control cutting-edge technology and industrial production capabilities that give people the feeling that they "really know how to have fun".

"How about I go check on Li Hongfang? I can have Gold Coin show me the way," Liu Chang'an said after thinking for a moment. He had brought Li Hongfang over and then left her there, which was a bit too casual, considering she was his prospective store manager... He wondered if she needed a health certificate?

"Well... I'll hurry. It won't take long, you can wait here for me for a bit." Hearing that Liu Chang'an was going to see Li Hongfang, Su Nanxiu thought that she didn't really need him to wait too long. It would be quite troublesome to go and call him over later when she was ready.

After saying that, Su Nanxiu left in a hurry without waiting for Liu Chang'an to say anything more... Su Nanxiu recently discovered that although Li Hongfang's appearance was not stunning, she had a good figure. Moreover, the profession of tomb raider might fall within the scope of "professional temptation" for men.

Just as there is the allure of uniforms, there is also the allure of professions; many men have fantasies about women in certain professions.

The tomb raiding profession combines elements of danger, darkness, shadows, and mystery. Are women in this profession perhaps considered particularly sexy by them?

Since he was a guest, Liu Chang'an didn't insist on going to see Li Hongfang. He just stood there and looked at the holographic projection in front of him.

On a Snow Mountain that appears relatively close, a giant Snow Mountain ape is climbing, while birds occasionally take flight from the dense forest along the riverbank. At the farthest foot of the mountain, a tortoise is slowly climbing the peak, carrying a magnificent palace with exquisite gardens on its back. The palace is shrouded in mist, resembling the residence of a celestial emperor.

As Liu Chang'an was focused on the palace, a cry like that of a crane seemed to suddenly descend from the heavens. A black and white crane broke through the clouds and flew out from the palace gardens. In an instant, it arrived in front of Liu Chang'an, transforming into a fairy dressed in shimmering robes. She danced gracefully in the training ground, her eyes full of charm and her figure elegant. Every now and then, she would glance at him, exuding an indescribable allure.

A wisp of gauze slipped from her shoulder, and her body began to spin. The ribbons fluttered, and her flowing robes suddenly transformed into scattered peach blossoms, swirling and dancing around her...

Liu Chang'an suddenly thought of Bai Hui... Why did he think of Bai Hui? Liu Chang'an turned around and watched the holographic projection for a while. Su Mei had already put on her equipment and walked over.

It seems her equipment isn't like Stark's in the mid-game, which can be put on or taken off while moving.

"I've heard that when a man sees a woman he knows suddenly adopt a completely different style of dressing, he often feels a stirring of desire." Su Nanxiu revealed a slightly shy expression, but her tone and eyes held a hint of anticipation.

Su Nanxiu had some experience in this regard. At that time, Shanghai a place of extravagance and debauchery, with goods from all over the world being transported in, including many exotic and ingenious Western items, as well as clothing of various styles. He was always willing to choose for her, and she would only reluctantly wear them under his insistence, satisfying his wishes time and time again.

Liu Chang'an looked at her. Su Nanxiu was wearing a close-fitting leather outfit, somewhat like the gear Qin Yanan had given him to wear when investigating the Mount Lu Valley that day... No, upon closer inspection, under the light, this slightly shimmering material was not leather, but rather composed of extremely fine scales. Between the scales was a very complex hinge structure. With her body movements, these scales changed their angles and positions as if flowing, yet they still clung tightly to her body without causing the slightest hindrance.

Liu Chang'an could tell that these scales had a very high energy absorption efficiency, and ordinary firearms would probably have difficulty harming her. Coupled with her own physical abilities, she would have no problem playing a superhero of average strength in this world... Of course, overall, she seemed more suited to playing some villainous scientists.

It's not meant as a derogatory term, but rather as a compliment... Isn't a beautiful young woman who plays a genius scientist villain pretty cool?

"These scales covering the entire body can be separated like a zipper at any time," Su Nanxiu briefly explained the characteristics of the armor.

"Impressive." Liu Chang'an nodded in praise.

"This helmet has extremely strong protective capabilities. Wearing it is similar to the Iron Man helmet experience, which can help me obtain combat data, analyze the enemy's next attack intentions, and so on." Su Nanxiu held a small helmet in one hand, and two long swords in the other.

The two long swords were thin and long, completely black, with many fine lines on them, which looked very much like the style of the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue.

"It seems this is a battle between flesh and blood against a combination of super life and technological power." Liu Chang'an was somewhat looking forward to it, thinking that Su Nanxiu wouldn't be as easily crushed as... those black and white twin sisters or the like.

"By the way, has Pu Shougeng come looking for you?" As if she shared a tacit understanding with Liu Chang'an, Su Nanxiu also thought of the person who had fought against Liu Chang'an before.

Pu Shougeng was relatively weak. He was quite old, and his physical condition and certain cellular indicators were not suitable for complex modifications. Su Nanxiu only provided Pu Shougeng with some potential-stimulating drugs, which naturally could not compare to the Gee and Peel brothers, who had undergone complex genetic evolution modifications.

"It seems not." Liu Chang'an didn't have a deep impression of this person, after all, the last time they met was when Liu Chang'an went to demolish his martial arts school.

"We haven't heard from him in a long time... It's like he's vanished into thin air. I sent people to look for him, but there's absolutely no trace of him. I don't know where he's hiding." Su Nanxiu wasn't really concerned about this person; she was just mentioning him casually.

"Let's begin. I need to get back early to cook," Liu Chang'an said, glancing at the time.

"Pu Shougeng stole some things from me," Su Nanxiu added, then dismissed it. "Can you still make black chicken and ginseng soup?"

Just like many people's memories of their hometown flavors from childhood, the dishes their mothers made, and the feasts held in the countryside with freshly slaughtered pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese—all incredibly delicious experiences... or unforgettable flavors that can never be found again. For Su Nanxiu, that bowl of black chicken and ginseng soup always feels like the most beautiful memory on her tongue.

"I already told you last time, the dishes I cook don't taste the same as they used to," Liu Chang'an said with a smile.

When it comes to really good soups, black chicken and ginseng soup doesn't even rank highly, and it's not even as good as matsutake mushroom and ostrich foot soup.

It's not even as good as the cuttlefish egg soup that Qin Yanan can make. If Su Nanxiu wants to drink soup, it would be more appropriate to ask Qin Yanan for help. After all, Liu Chang'an only has two hands and skills. But even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Qin Yanan has a richer supply of ingredients.

As for what she values—the person who made the soup, and the sentiment behind that soup— Liu Chang'an was naturally powerless to change that.

"Fine, I'm not the little girl I used to be, so you'd better watch out." Su Nanxiu snorted lightly. His attitude remained unchanged throughout. It's said that men are prone to lingering feelings and can't forget old love, but he was as hard as iron.

Su Nanxiu also knew that her desire to get back together with him did not lie in An Nuan, but in his will that was not swayed by others.

In ordinary families, when a man has an affair, the wife's fury often lashes out at the mistress, believing that she bewitched him and that he will return once the mistress is dealt with... But his situation is a little different now. He's not so much bewitched by An Nuan that he's completely distracted; rather, he no longer has the same feelings for her as before.

Su Nanxiu retreated step by step until she reached the training ground, where she put on her helmet.

Liu Chang'an saw the fine scales on her armor undulating like swimming snakes. The beauty's body exuded a dangerous allure. She held two swords upside down in her hands, not posing at all, but simply standing there looking at Liu Chang'an in an ordinary manner.

The front of her helmet had a completely transparent viewing window, through which Liu Chang'an could see her slightly upturned lips and unrestrained eyebrows.

She seemed very confident... Liu Chang'an guessed that her assessment of his abilities was mostly based on the video of his challenge to the competition. By analyzing his actions in the video, he could naturally glean a lot of information.

She would probably make some estimations and judge that he was holding back his strength at the time, but even if she overestimated his strength based on that, she was confident that she could spar with him.

Liu Chang'an rushed over and punched her right in the chest.

Su Nanxiu actually reacted, her body shooting backward. But the fist was like a precision-guided missile, carrying a strong airflow as it hurtled towards her, as if its landing point was exactly where she was going to land. Su Nanxiu looked at his face so close to hers, a slight smile playing on his lips, and with a flick of her wrist, she swept her long sword across.

The blade flashed like a beautiful woman's flowing hair as she turned her head, yet it carried a cruel will towards flesh and blood, so sharp that it seemed capable of slicing through skin and drawing a drop of blood even before it made contact.

Liu Chang'an withdrew his fist, not attempting to let her slash his forearm, after all, he was wearing long sleeves.

Su Nanxiu forced Liu Chang'an's fist back with a single slash, her smugness growing even more pronounced. She recalled how she had almost stabbed him back then, only to be surprised to find that he was like a monster, leaving not a drop of blood. But today, he had avoided her attack.

Is this something to be happy about? She would rather he still not dodge or avoid her, and then push her down, making her pay the price without saying a word.

The slight tremor she felt when her skin was first touched by a man still seemed to ripple in her heart. Su Nanxiu gritted her teeth, raised her twin swords, and slashed down fiercely, one to the left and one to the right, aiming for his shoulders that other women had leaned on.

"With your strength and speed, Spider-Man would probably be chopped into pieces without his webs and Spider-Suits." It was Liu Chang'an's turn to retreat. Actually, he didn't know what Spider-Man's strength was, but he felt that Su Nanxiu's strength was a bit beyond his expectations. She was not at the same level as the black and white twin sisters at all. Even the S-class cyborgs she had researched were probably far inferior.

"Pork belly slices? I'm not interested in them, but I'd like to try your taste." Su Nanxiu scoffed. This man still didn't take her seriously; otherwise, how could he be so leisurely and teasing?

Su Nanxiu charged forward without hesitation. Real battles don't involve so many fancy tricks. Even for super life forms, it's ultimately a battle of flesh against flesh, so strength, speed, and reaction time determine the final outcome.

A streak of azure lightning flashed across the scales of the armor, and Su Nanxiu suddenly accelerated, leaving a visible afterimage as she instantly entered Liu Chang'an's embrace, her twin blades plunging fiercely into his chest.

Liu Chang'an raised his hands, and just a millimeter or two before the blade touched her clothes, he gripped her arms tightly and kicked her away.

Su Nanxiu's body flew out like a tasseled loafer that accidentally slipped off her foot while kicking a soda can.

Su Nanxiu landed on the ground, the scales on her armor sparking as they rubbed against the ground. The holographic projection system, capable of sensing the movement of objects within its range, immediately projected a mark onto the virtual training ground that resembled the impact of a meteorite.

Su Nanxiu stared in astonishment at the mark on the ground... because this holographic projection system projected the image based on the force of the ground's feedback. In other words, if it were a real outdoor scene, his kick on her would have the same effect.

"Are you alright?" Since he was willing to spar, Liu Chang'an would naturally show his opponent a certain degree of respect. If it was just an attack that amounted to touching and groping his opponent, what would be the difference between that and harassing Su Nanxiu?

"I'm fine... but your child was kicked through his mother's belly." Su Nanxiu lay on the ground, pale-faced, her lower body raised, one hand pressed against her abdomen, the other still gripping a long knife.

Liu Chang'an looked utterly astonished. Any normal man would react this way upon hearing such news, and he immediately ran over.

The moment he crouched down, Su Nanxiu's armor suddenly exploded, covering Liu Chang'an completely in the burst. The fine scales pelted Liu Chang'an like raindrops, and in a short instant, the armor that had been on Su Nanxiu was now on Liu Chang'an.

Su Nanxiu was only wearing a simple bodysuit. It had been a long time since she had stood so exposed in front of him. Su Nanxiu still habitually raised her hand to cover herself, then revealed a sly smile, "You fell for my trap, didn't you?"

"This is called turning the tables on him." Liu Chang'an laughed as well. His body surface area was already larger than Su Nanxiu's, but the armor made of scales that originally fit Su Nanxiu's body perfectly now fit him perfectly as well. It must be some kind of high-end material that incorporates biological characteristics. Liu Chang'an could feel that these scales had a certain degree of life force.

"Using a counter-strategy can sometimes be called being overconfident."

Su Nanxiu glared at Liu Chang'an and issued the order, "Give me the eighth set of national primary and secondary school broadcast gymnastics!"

Liu Chang'an then felt subtle electric currents emanating from his armor, stimulating his skin and muscles, so he began to perform the eighth set of national primary and secondary school broadcast gymnastics.

"Hahaha..." Su Nanxiu laughed heartily and triumphantly, snapping her fingers. "Background music."

The familiar background music of the eighth set of national primary and secondary school broadcast gymnastics began to play. In the melodious preparatory rhythm of "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...", Liu Chang'an began the warm-up exercise of marching in place.

"Stretching exercises, ready, go!"

Hearing the familiar male voice, Liu Chang'an performed the act perfectly. Su Nanxiu continued to laugh. She loved this man deeply, but he was ruthless towards her. Of course, she was happy to play such a prank on him.

This suit of armor utilizes the most advanced biomaterials technology from the Tesla Institute. It's no exaggeration to say it's technology from the future. It's not an advanced technological product that Su Nanxiu developed independently; it involves the most important secret of the entire Tesla Institute.

He's probably already forgotten the girl who asked him to go see the nuclear explosion together.

If I don't promise to break out, I'll naturally become a slacker; if I don't promise to post 10,000 words, I'll naturally only post 2,000 or 3,000... Promising something doesn't guarantee I'll actually do it, but at least it will motivate me to try.

This explanation may not be satisfactory, but everyone can still see more content. Feel free to criticize me; this chapter contains 5700 words.
