Unfortunately, Li Wei didn't get to see the good stuff.

By the time he arrived, 2B and Eve had already quickly put their dresses back on.

Eve was wearing a blue romper dress today, perfectly showing off her figure.

Two ordinary spines lay nearby, one of them still stained with blood.

"Hiss!"

Li Wei immediately looked away. "Eve, I'll take you to replenish your blood later."

Eve looked unchanged. She blinked and said, "Okay."

The two of them quickly hopped down from the hospital bed and put on their heels.

Li Wei hurriedly steadied them. "How do you feel?"

"Nothing feels different."

2B blinked as she spoke.

"I feel okay. I need to activate it and try."

Eve said.

"Rest first, then experiment."

The three rested for a while before heading to an open area.

"Red Queen, keep an eye on them."

Li Wei instructed the Red Queen.

The Red Queen appeared beside him, looking immensely curious as well.

2B went first. She easily activated the Sandevistan directly through her nerves.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the entire world slowed down in her eyes.

But to Li Wei, he merely blinked, and 2B was already standing in front of him.

She had clearly been far away just now.

"This is practically teleportation."

Li Wei pinched 2B's cheek.

"More accurately, it's time dilation."

The Red Queen brought up the surveillance footage. Only through the video could they see that 2B had simply walked over.

But to Li Wei, it had happened in an instant.

Put simply, it was an ability that stimulated one's potential, making the user faster.

Especially for 2B.

"Eve!"

Next, it was Eve's turn.

Eve stood in place, looking a little at a loss.

The auxiliary spines she had used before were all passive. They provided various abilities, such as better dodging timing and energy recovery.

But the Sandevistan was active.

Fortunately, the Red Queen had also installed a Brain-Computer Interface for her just now.

"Buzz!"

Eve blinked, and she too felt time turn dim and gray.

Everyone else's movements became slow.

Soon, 2B returned to normal and activated the Sandevistan again.

Li Wei felt somewhat envious.

Unfortunately, he was a pure flesh-and-blood enthusiast and rejected technological ascension.

He did not reject external technology like Iron Man's armor, but he disliked anything used directly on the human body.

Whenever he thought of Adam Smasher, with barely any flesh left on his entire body, Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine.

If he had to become that kind of freak... he would rather start over.

So far, Li Wei had only gotten a non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface and had returned to his office to try playing games with it.

It really was amazing for gaming.

It pushed his reactions to their peak.

If any professional player had this thing, wouldn't every game be easy for him?

ZywOo, donk—he would crush them all!

At noon, Li Wei took Eve and 2B to a Chinese restaurant. He had to help Eve replenish her blood.

He ordered red date soup, duck blood, lamb, and more.

As for those modified Chinese dishes, he simply could not get used to them.

Eve had no such troubles. She found Earth truly wonderful; everything was delicious.

She could not help wondering what the Earth she had once lived on had been like before it was destroyed by war.

After lunch, they returned to the company and continued the experiments.

The Red Queen needed to determine how long their bodies could withstand the Sandevistan.

The results were astonishing. 2B's body had incredible endurance and could run it for several minutes without issue.

This made Li Wei wonder who was stronger, 2B or V?

After all, V, that "legend," had easily defeated Adam Smasher.

Eve was a little worse off, since she still had flesh and blood...

Now it seemed that flesh and blood had instead become what limited Eve.

"Red Queen, what did those agents say?"

"Two people are willing to accept Professor Connors's experiment."

The Red Queen answered.

"Then make the arrangements for Professor Connors."

Li Wei nodded.

Prosthetics were great, but some people still wanted to regain bodies of flesh and blood.

Therefore, Professor Connors's experiments would never lack volunteers.

That put Li Wei at ease.

He had even been preparing to play the villain and make people "volunteer."

At that moment, his phone vibrated.

When he opened the social platform, he saw that Osborn Group had even made a promotional poster.

Tony Stark and Li Wei's faces both appeared on it. Tony stood on the left, Li Wei on the right, and the two stared sternly at each other as if they were about to have a showdown.

There was also a line beneath them: "Las Vegas."

"Since ancient times, the one on the left loses in beam clashes. Tony Stark has already lost."

Before the duel even began, Li Wei had "won" first.

He immediately reposted it, causing the buzz to explode once again.

After all, many people had been discussing whether this was just publicity or whether the two billionaires would actually fight.

Ordinary people were more than happy to watch billionaires perform for them...

"Master, I have to tell you something."

The Red Queen floated over.

"What is it?"

"Tony Stark's itinerary says he will be leaving for the Middle East soon. He's going to miss this duel."

"What?"

Li Wei froze for a moment, then said, "As expected, that coward!"

Li Wei was not particularly surprised that Tony Stark was avoiding the fight.

After all, Tony Stark's mouth was the hardest thing about him.

He talked trash while avoiding the fight.

Li Wei found that very realistic.

Besides, Tony had legitimate business to attend to rather than simply running away, so he had an excuse.

That left Li Wei a little disappointed.

He had really wanted to beat up Tony Stark.

But when Tony returned from the Middle East, he would be Iron Man.

Hm?

Wouldn't beating up Iron Man be even more satisfying?

"Forget it. I'll mock him mercilessly when the time comes."

Li Wei said.

"Do we need to notify Osborn Group?"

"No need. Osborn Group has already achieved its goal."

Li Wei shook his head.

Norman Osborn probably had not expected the two of them to actually fight.

And now, Norman Osborn had already gotten his moment in the spotlight and siphoned off some attention.

Since reporters could not interview Li Wei or Tony Stark, they could only interview Norman Osborn and ask for his thoughts on the matter.

While answering, Norman also shared his views on New York, using the incident to raise his approval rating.

No wonder Kingpin was annoyed.

Feeling listless, Li Wei left the company and took Eve and 2B home to rest first.

Nothing happened on the way back, as usual.

Li Wei gradually put the matter out of his mind.

Now that both bodyguards by his side had Sandevistans installed, their level of safety had risen sharply.

And there was also Bumblebee, who could give their enemies a surprise at a critical moment.

"2B, it's your turn to keep me company tonight!"

The moment they got home, Li Wei called out.

2B had long been prepared. She had actually thought it meant close personal protection!
