"Right, remember not to give one person too many prosthetics, or it could trigger mental corruption. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to handle it."

Li Wei thought of something and immediately warned him.

The scientists in the company all had the potential to become mad scientists.

It would be quite something if they turned someone into Adam Smasher...

If they created a cyberpsycho, the person might tear the entire company apart.

"I know."

Dr. Otto immediately replied, "Everyone's mind has its limits. Cyberware places a burden on the mind."

"I'll have the team handle the installations. That way, we can manufacture them faster."

Dr. Otto simply did not need assistants during experiments.

But he still had a team during the production stage.

Otherwise, if Dr. Otto had to do everything alone, how long would it take?

"Then make two sets for me first."

Li Wei spoke up.

"No problem."

Dr. Otto did not ask further, though he could more or less guess why.

On the way back, Bumblebee sped down the road.

America's infrastructure was abysmal, especially New York's subway. Li Wei had never ridden it even once.

It was practically an antique, having been built over a hundred years ago.

The moment one entered the subway station area, all sorts of foul smells hit the nose. It practically challenged the limits of human endurance.

Naturally, the roads were not much better.

Aside from the central areas, which were frequently repaired, some roads elsewhere were cracked apart.

High-speed rail was even more impossible, because America's airlines were too powerful.

If high-speed rail were built, who would still take planes?

And planes... considering Boeing's current reputation, only those with a death wish would fly them.

So, when traveling in America, driving oneself was still the safest option.

This was the "road system" that those worshippers of the West loved boasting about.

Fortunately, Li Wei was not going anywhere else and soon returned to Long Island.

But Red Queen quickly brought him bad news.

"Master, Osborn Group is preparing to establish the venue in Las Vegas."

Las Vegas was the famous gambling city. That godforsaken place could not really do anything except this sort of thing.

Its only advantage was that gambling was legal there.

And with the astonishing popularity of Li Wei and Tony Stark...

They might be able to make hundreds of millions of dollars.

Never underestimate the madness of gambling addicts.

Li Wei replied, "Tell Osborn Group that Las Vegas is fine, but I want a cut."

"Understood. Stark Industries has likely given the same response."

Red Queen said.

Wasn't that great minds thinking alike?

Capitalists had to seize every opportunity to make money.

After all, in America, even becoming president was about making money.

What Oracle of Omaha Buffett?

The real Oracle of Omaha was in the White House!

Osborn Group also knew it could not keep all the profits for itself, so it quickly agreed to both sides' demand for a share.

And Norman Osborn soon made a video call.

Li Wei chose to answer, and Norman's face appeared on the screen.

Norman Osborn looked even more high-spirited now, his face carrying an air of authority.

"Ren, I have good news for you. My public approval rating has already surpassed Kingpin's."

"Congratulations, Norman."

Li Wei smiled.

"By the way, you still need to keep supporting me."

"Don't worry. I've already called on them."

Aside from trading barbs with Tony Stark, Li Wei's social media platform was now used to call on his fans to support Norman Osborn's mayoral campaign.

It was quite effective, much like Hollywood celebrities publicly taking sides. It was extremely dramatic.

Of course, exactly how many people it could influence was hard to say...

And New York had many elites, who already strongly supported Norman Osborn as a major capitalist.

It would not be easy for Kingpin to defeat him.

Then Norman Osborn said, "Ren, I heard that Kingpin's team is investigating you. Be careful."

"I understand."

Li Wei nodded seriously.

Kingpin was no good person. He was cold-blooded, ruthless, and contemptuous of justice.

Anyone who stood in his way would become his target.

Li Wei and Norman Osborn had already placed themselves on his opposite side, so they had to be wary of Kingpin resorting to dirty tricks.

"Norman, you need to be careful too."

"Don't worry. I've already hired a team specifically to protect me."

Norman Osborn clearly understood this matter well and immediately smiled.

Hearing how cautious he was, Li Wei tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, capitalists were all afraid of dying!

After returning home, Li Wei had Red Queen monitor the surroundings of the house, then pulled 2B and Eve over. "You heard what Norman said, right?"

"Yes, Master."

Both women looked at Li Wei with watery eyes.

Li Wei said seriously, "At night, one of you must stay close and protect me. You can take turns. Eve will go first today."

Although Eve blushed a little, she did not refuse.

As for 2B, there was even less chance of her refusing. She was actually looking forward to it.

She had been created to benefit humanity!

Then Li Wei pulled Eve inside.

He had been coveting Eve's figure for a long time!

"Eve, come warm the bed."

That night, after Li Wei lay down, he found that Eve was still sitting there fully dressed.

"Master, aren't I supposed to protect you?"

Eve asked in confusion.

"Ahem."

Li Wei coughed twice. "What if no one comes? Wouldn't that mean you won't sleep at all?"

"So, come over first."

Li Wei pulled Eve over.

Eve fell onto the bed in a daze, then asked, "Master, why are you taking off my clothes?"

"Because this is uncomfortable."

Li Wei said solemnly.

At last, he felt Eve's skin.

How should he put it? Eve was softer and fuller than 2B.

And her figure was already perfect. She was full where she should be full and slim where she should be slim, like a flawless creation of the Creator.

It could only be said that Mother Sphere truly knew its stuff when it came to androids.

Moreover, every member of the Airborne Squad had her own personality.

Eve was kind and gentle, Lily was lively and confident, Quicksilver was a cool and aloof mature beauty, and Raven was utterly unhinged...

Li Wei nearly could not stop himself from wanting to buy more wives.

Hold it in, hold it in.

Li Wei silently reminded himself. He had his eye on a certain technology and absolutely could not ruin everything at the last moment.

Besides, he already had two androids. Having more would not be good.

He was not some exploding superman sent to Earth by his parents to build a harem.

Even now, whenever he thought back on it, Li Wei still felt there was nowhere to begin criticizing it.

It could only be said that Gunn was not suited to making Superman movies. He had brought his vulgar, terrible jokes into a Superman film.

And this also made Li Wei think deeply. For Superman, which was more important: divinity or humanity?

At least based on what he had experienced, humanity was terribly unreliable. Good people could very easily become bad people.

But gods would not.

A Superman without divinity truly ought to be killed.

Li Wei now understood why Batman and Luthor wanted to kill Superman.

As his thoughts wandered, his hands unconsciously roamed about.

Eve, meanwhile, whacked away his wandering hands like she was playing whack-a-mole.

This left neither of them sleepy.

But nothing happened, and they spent the night peacefully.

Eve let out a sigh of relief, while Li Wei did not know when he had fallen asleep.

What could he do? Eve would not let him have his way.

If it had been 2B...
