They said the more beautiful a flower was, the more dangerous it could be. The test tube before them now held something that shimmered like a dream.
The moment she heard the word "virus," every inch of Wanda screamed refusal. Although the virus before her resembled a sea of stars, it looked even more like poppies!
"Relax, I'd never hurt you, would I?"
Chen Xi said with a chuckle.
"Heh, don't tell me you actually believed the nonsense those tech companies spout?"
Wanda looked at him disdainfully. Could a virus really be used so casually?
A few years ago, there had been a professor who injected himself with the so-called Permafrost Immortality Virus. He had kicked the bucket within two days.
"Tch! What an ignoramus."
Chen Xi shot her an annoyed glance, then sliced open his arm with a fingernail and injected himself with an entire vial of Perfect T-Virus Serum.
"Oh my God! Are you crazy?"
Wanda's eyes went wide. Before she could stop him, he had already injected himself with the virus?
Chen Xi did not answer. Instead, he carefully sensed the changes it brought to his body, and he soon discovered something odd...
"System, this doesn't seem to match your description?"
He was confused. It felt like he had merely received a glucose injection—like it did absolutely nothing. Had this damn system scammed him?
"Host, I seriously question your intelligence. No matter how powerful this thing is, it is still meant for mortals. At most, it raises physical fitness to around ten times Captain America's. Do you think a pebble falling into the ocean could make waves?"
"Oh, and is your scalp itchy too? Congratulations, you're about to grow a brain."
Chen Xi's confusion only earned him the system's mockery. Before he could retort, he realized that his head was indeed swelling.
"Am I really about to grow a brain?"
A few seconds later, a sudden wave of dizziness struck him. Fortunately, Superman's physical condition was invincible. He merely swayed slightly before recovering.
An ordinary person would probably have passed out and then waited for the Perfect T-Virus Serum to transform them.
"Host, congratulations on obtaining the Telekinesis ability. It may be useless, but it works pretty well for showing off and picking up girls."
The system's voice rang out again, though it was mostly teasing him. From this moment on, Superman began to become a little less normal.
"Tch! Can't I learn magic? How about a magic Superman? Is my Super Brain just for decoration?"
"Heh, your Super Brain will only tell you to charge in with Super Strength and get it over with."
Chen Xi and the system began their daily bickering, while Wanda and Gwen outside were frantic with worry.
"Chen Xi, are you okay? I told you not to use it, but you did anyway. What were you trying to prove?"
Wanda anxiously shook him hard. Seeing Chen Xi close his eyes, she thought he had been poisoned and passed out.
"I'll call someone. Wait, Wanda, don't panic."
Gwen spoke as she prepared to call emergency services...
"Stop, stop, stop! I'm fine. No need to call."
Chen Xi noticed that they were about to call emergency services and hurriedly stopped bickering with the system.
Wanda and Gwen immediately looked at the guy who had seemed ready to kick the bucket with delighted surprise. "How do you feel? We should go to the hospital."
Wanda was still worried. This was a virus—they really ought to get him checked out.
"No need. I feel great now. I'm even completely refreshed."
"If you don't believe me, watch me perform a magic trick."
After speaking, Chen Xi lightly beckoned toward the roses in the garden under Wanda and Gwen's puzzled gazes. Two roses immediately floated gracefully over and landed in the women's palms.
Wanda and Gwen were both stunned. Covering their mouths, they watched the romantic sight excitedly. They were so touched—what woman could refuse such romance?
The system had been right about Chen Xi. He immediately used Telekinesis to show off, and he was surprisingly skilled at it...
"Oh my God! Is this magic? It's so romantic!"
"Yeah, roses dancing through the air... I've never seen anything so romantic."
Wanda and Gwen were both in the bloom of youth. They were deeply moved by such romance and completely immersed in Chen Xi's trap...
"Hehe, it's just a small trick. It's an ability I gained from injecting that Perfect T-Virus Serum."
Chen Xi said with a smile, not hiding anything. Only by setting an example himself could he ease Wanda's worries.
Wanda was indeed tempted. Who would not want superpowers?
She hurriedly hugged Chen Xi's arm and coquettishly said, "Honey, I want one too! Do you have any left? I was judging a gentleman's heart with a petty woman's mind just now."
Eugh!!!
Gwen shuddered fiercely. Wanda, was her voice really that sickeningly sweet? Was she trying to freeze her to death...
"Hmph, regretting it now, are you? Miss this chance, and there won't be another." Chen Xi shrugged and deliberately said.
Wanda's lips immediately puckered when she heard that. How could she not know that this guy was going to make her sign another unequal treaty?
"I was wrong, okay? Tell me what you want."
One had to bow one's head under another's roof. To obtain such superpowers, she felt that she could endure humiliation.
"Hmm, I think a few outfits that might spice things up would suit you quite well. What do you think?"
Chen Xi took the opportunity to make an excessive demand. Whenever he had previously wanted her to wear them for role-playing games, she had refused no matter what. Now, would he not get to have his way with her?
"You... Fine, you pervert..."
Wanda stared at him for several seconds before gritting her teeth and agreeing to his outrageous demand. She really wanted superpowers, after all!
Gwen was already dumbfounded. It was true that she often felt out of place among them because she was not perverted enough...
Still, no matter how much Wanda fed herself to the wolf, it was worth it. Gwen wanted superpowers too! But she could not play those so-called games with Chen Xi.
In the end, Chen Xi spent a fortune to buy Wanda another vial of Perfect T-Virus Serum, and his wallet was emptied.
Recently, he had only been earning around a thousand Justice Points a day. It seemed he needed to have Bo Da and Bo Er take a stroll around Hell's Kitchen.
Wanda happily left with the serum, leaving Gwen staring after her enviously...
"What I said to Wanda applies to you too." Chen Xi whispered mischievously into Gwen's ear.
"You... you really are a pervert."
Gwen's pretty face instantly flushed red as she glared at him. Was he confessing to me? That scumbag even wanted to two-time me!
Shy Gwen also began playing ostrich. Who knew what embarrassing things she was thinking about? From time to time, she secretly glanced at him.
