After closing the status panel, he lay in the garden sunbathing, narrowed his eyes, and smugly muttered to himself.
"Kryptonian physiology really is the best. No need to train hard, and I can crush a whole bunch of superheroes. Whatever Celestials and other gods there are, they're all worthless trash."
After indulging in his vanity, he began browsing the System Shop.
He directly ignored things like the cultivation techniques and heavenly flames from the protagonist's world. He did not even bother looking at anything related to cultivation.
Still, he did like a certain world's magic blade. That thing could cut through space. If it cut people, wouldn't it slice through them like tofu?
Unfortunately, it was far too expensive, costing a full eighty thousand Justice Points.
"System, you might as well rob me!"
"Sorry, that has nothing to do with me. The prices are set by the System Shop itself. You can only blame yourself for being too poor."
"Forget it. You may leave."
Although Chen Xi was drooling with envy, he could not bear to spend eighty thousand on a magic blade for sneak attacks. After all, he was Superman—he fought head-on!
There were far too many items in the System Shop, including familiar things like the Sharingan, Geass Eye, Byakugan, Eye of Insight, and more.
There were even perfect Devil Fruits that were not afraid of seawater or Seastone, though their prices were equally outrageous.
For example, the perfect Rumble-Rumble Fruit sold for as much as thirty thousand!
He might as well just rob someone. How much could he even earn from painstakingly raising a villain?
On second thought, he decided to forget it. With his One-Tenth Discount Card, he only wanted to quickly save up one million Justice Points. Then the Silver Superman, worth ten million, could be his.
When night fell, Chen Xi finally began hearing the System's nonstop notifications. The criminals had collectively come out after dark.
Gwen, Bo Da, and Bo Er, who had joined his faction, appeared throughout New York to uphold justice.
"Obtained 200 Justice Points."
"Obtained 500 Justice Points."
"Obtained 200 Justice Points."
"..."
Just as Chen Xi was reaping the rewards without lifting a finger, Gwen, dressed in her red-and-white combat suit, suddenly rushed in with a severe shoulder injury.
Chen Xi, who had been watching TV, immediately darkened.
"Who injured you?"
"Those guys called Daredevil and Punisher."
Gwen gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Those two had actually set a trap for her. The innocent Gwen had thought it was just a robbery.
She had not expected that the moment she approached to stop the robbery, the supposed victim would stab her in the shoulder!
Even her Spider-Sense had been unable to react.
"How did those two end up together?"
Chen Xi could not quite figure it out, but he did not care to.
He had never paid much attention to those fringe little nobodies. They were only there to pad out Marvel and serve as experience fodder for the main cast.
Because of his bloody and violent methods, most Marvel superheroes kept their distance from Punisher and did not consider him one of their own.
Only Daredevil Matt Murdock and Deadpool Wade Wilson were Punisher's good friends among the superheroes. The reason was that he and Daredevil both had extremely radical personalities, while Deadpool's style of doing things resembled his.
"New mission—represent justice according to the host's subjective will and punish these two insignificant pests."
"Mission reward: 3,000 Justice Points."
Trash really was trash. The reward was only three thousand Justice Points at most, leaving Chen Xi somewhat disappointed.
But they had hurt Gwen. They had truly found their way to death!
Gwen's healing ability was not as absurd as those mutant freaks like Wolverine, but it still far surpassed that of ordinary people. Even though the dagger had left a deep wound, it had nearly healed by now.
After telling her to properly clean the wound, Chen Xi stepped out beneath the moonlight.
"Aren't you two so-called antiheroes? Then I'll show you what a real antihero is!"
The two men, still brimming with confidence, had no idea what kind of existence they had provoked. Death would be a release for them!
In an underground parking lot in Hell's Kitchen.
What had once been an empty place was now bustling with people.
The brightly lit underground parking lot was filled with heavily armed gang members on patrol. Their alert posture made it impossible not to suspect that some illegal deal was taking place here.
At that moment, Punisher was conducting a disgusting transaction with Kingpin, New York's gang boss.
Punisher—Frank Castle.
He was a retired Marine Corps captain who became Punisher after his family was murdered by the mob.
Who would have thought that this man, who publicly claimed to be taking revenge against all criminal forces and declared that anyone guilty deserved to die, was actually engaged in dirty dealings with the gang leader Kingpin?
He was nothing more than a sanctimonious hypocrite, comparable to Yue Buqun.
Everything he did was merely a means of winning sympathy from the public.
And Kingpin, a man of formidable methods, was his most powerful supporter. The two hit it off immediately.
Kingpin provided him with money, weapons, and intelligence, while he handled the gangs that refused to obey Kingpin, all under the banner of cracking down on criminal forces...
It seemed they truly benefited each other. A win-win arrangement had thus formed, and today they were celebrating and making another deal.
Gwen's appearance had ruined several of Kingpin's contraband transactions, making him swear to kill this suddenly emerged Spider-Woman.
To cut off someone's source of income was like murdering their parents.
How could Kingpin possibly let Gwen, this scourge, go? He decisively had Punisher make a move to kill her.
Thus, he immediately contacted his good friend, Daredevil Matt, and prepared to ambush Gwen.
Daredevil, who had initially disagreed, instantly fell silent when Punisher threw out one million dollars.
God! Please forgive me. He was offering too much!
Spider-Woman!
Just go die. You deserved to die anyway!
Daredevil had always been extremely jealous. He felt that Gwen had been far too arrogant lately. Not only had she crossed the line into his territory, but she had also stolen all his thunder.
So, with the current carrying them along, the two reached an agreement. Daredevil would pretend to be the victim and lure Gwen into the trap.
Though Daredevil had been accidentally blinded as a child, disaster had brought him a blessing and granted him superpowers. He was perfectly suited for a sneak attack.
They had not managed to kill Spider-Gwen today, but since they had seriously injured her, they could kill her next time!
"Hahaha, come on. Let's drink to our next cooperation and killing Spider-Woman."
Kingpin laughed loudly and raised his glass. Though Daredevil was somewhat unwilling, he could not exactly turn his back on money.
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
"Interesting. I thought Infernal Affairs only forced twists for the sake of twists. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I never expected you two to be this good at playing games. I truly admire you."
In the dim underground parking lot, a black figure slowly approached while clapping. His mocking voice made it seem as though he were watching a group of clowns.
