Watching Gwen and Harry start to give Peter ideas on the phone screen, Lin Hai couldn't help but evoke a warm smile.
He turned off the screen of his mobile phone. Now he had to go to the kitchen to help his master prepare lunch. As for the excitement in the group, it would not be too late to wait until after the meal.
Walking into the kitchen, Chen Bing was washing a few green onions in front of the sink. There were thawed ribs and some seasonal vegetables on the stove. Lin Hai put on an apron and walked to the master to take over the task of washing the vegetables.
"Master." Lin Hai skillfully selected green vegetables, "I'm going to go out in the afternoon with Gwen and Peter. I may come back late."
Chen Bing did not stop moving his hands, but turned his head and glanced at Lin Hai, his eyes as calm as water. He hummed, indicating that he was listening.
Lin Hai continued, "You don't have to worry about me. Although the target of this operation is a bit tricky, with our current strength, it is not dangerous to deal with it."
Chen Bing was silent for a few seconds after listening, and the water flowed out of the faucet, washing the dirt on the green onions. He turned off the water and shook off the water droplets on his hands, then picked up the kitchen knife and started chopping the green onions.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Bing's voice was calm, "Pay attention to your own safety. Leave room for everything and don't be too aggressive. Also, protect your companions."
He didn't ask Lin Hai where exactly he was going or what he was going to do.
Although Lin Hai's kung fu was basically taught by Chen Bing, through this period of time together and the morning exercises they did together, he could feel that his apprentice's strength far exceeded his own even if he did not fight against Lin Hai.
It is a matter of pride and gratification for any master to be better than his master, and Chen Bing is no exception. When he occasionally gets together with a few old friends, Lin Hai is also a topic of conversation in his mouth, and he is the envy of those old friends.
Those who practice martial arts must eventually go out on their own to experience and grow in a wider world. An eagle that cannot soar in the sky alone will eventually fall to the ground and die. Chen Bing understands this truth clearly.
What's more, Lin Hai also possesses that strange power and the magical Portal Magic. As a master, all he can do is give his apprentice a few words of advice before he leaves.
During the meal, the two of them didn't talk much about what happened in the afternoon. They just talked about the preparation of medicinal materials and the impact of recent weather changes on certain diseases. The atmosphere was warm and normal.
After lunch, Chen Bing habitually returned to the room on the second floor for a lunch break, while Lin Hai stayed in the front hall of the clinic downstairs. He began to organize the row of antique medicine cabinets and inspected the medicinal materials inside.
While helping his master with the daily work in the clinic, he was waiting for Gwen and their arrival. The sunlight cast mottled light and shadow on the floor through the window lattice, and time flowed quietly in it.
As expected, the first person to appear at the door of the clinic was Peter.
This energetic guy obviously couldn't hold himself back for a long time. After lunch, he told Uncle Ben that he wanted to come to Lin Hai's place, and then he rushed all the way here.
"Hey! Lin!" Before anyone could fully enter, Peter's energetic voice came in. He pushed open the door of the clinic with an excited smile on his face, "Looks like I'm the first one to arrive? Haha, when it comes to fighting crime, I, Spider-Man, have to be the most active!"
Lin Hai looked at Peter and smiled. He poured Peter a cup of chrysanthemum tea that had been brewed for a long time. "Yes, yes, you are the most active, sit down and have a cup of tea first."
Not long after, Gwen also came to the clinic, holding a small stick in her hand. Although this operation was not expected to be particularly dangerous for them, Gwen still brought her staff to be prepared.
"Hi, Lin Hai, Peter." Gwen greeted the two of them with a smile.
Since Gwen has also arrived, Lin Hai should also pick up Harry, so he said to Peter and Gwen: "Let's go, let's go to the backyard."
In the yard, the wicker chair where the four of them often sat around and chatted was still in the same place. After the three of them sat down, Lin Hai took out his mobile phone and dialed Harry's number.
"Harry, are you ready?" Lin Hai asked.
"You can do it at any time." Harry's voice came through the receiver.
"Okay, we'll pick you up right now." After hanging up the phone, Lin Hai stood up and opened the Portal door leading to the Osborn Manor underground laboratory.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar set of humanoid armor stepped out of Portal, Harry stepped onto the ground in the backyard of the clinic, and Portal quietly closed behind him.
The next moment, the armored helmet part made a subtle mechanical sound, quickly contracted and folded, and was finally perfectly stored in the armor layer below the neck, revealing Harry's face with a confident smile.
During this time, Harry made a series of improvements and optimizations to his Nova Armor. At least the storage method of this helmet is much more advanced and convenient than the previous design that required manual separation and removal.
Seeing this, Peter was the first to jump up. "Wow! Cool! Harry! When did you complete this improvement? So handsome!"
Harry had a proud smile on his face, "The debugging was just completed in the past two days. How is it? Not bad, right?"
Peter circled around Harry twice, and then sighed with some regret, "Of course it's great! It's a pity that my battle suit and hood can't achieve this kind of automation like yours. It's quite troublesome to put it on or take it off every time."
The four of them chatted for a while in the backyard of the clinic. Lin Hai looked at the time displayed on his phone. "It's almost time, guys. It's time for us to leave for Matt's law firm."
After hearing this, Gwen stood up together with Lin Hai and walked to Lin Hai's room on the second floor. Lin Hai came back to get his Plum Blossom Spear, and Gwen need to change into the mage suit of Kamar-Taj. As for Peter, his suit was already worn under his coat when he arrived, but he didn't wear a hood.
Nowadays, there are not many opportunities for Lin Hai to use Plum Blossom Spear, but in line with the principle that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", he plans to take this opportunity to use this long spear to meet the ninjas of the Hand for further familiarity and running-in.
After Lin Hai took his Plum Blossom Spear, he left the room to Gwen who needed to change clothes. He went downstairs and returned to the backyard, waiting for Gwen with Peter and Harry.
Not long after, Gwen, who had changed into mage uniform, walked down the stairs. She tied her long golden hair into a neat-looking ponytail and held the shrunken staff in her hand.
Seeing that Gwen was ready, Lin Hai raised his hand, and golden sparks splashed, and a portal leading to Matt's Law Firm opened in the backyard of the clinic.
Stepping out of Portal, the four Lin Hai saw Matt, Elektra and Foggy already waiting in the office.
Matt cannot see, so there is no need to say more. Although Elektra and Foggy saw this magical magic like Portal for the first time, they still couldn't help showing shock and admiration in their eyes.
The few people briefly greeted each other and began to talk to each other about their respective situations during the recent period. While they were talking, the sky outside began to gradually darken.
With Elektra's reminder and help, Matt put on his dark red Daredevil uniform made of special materials, holding in his hand his pair of multifunctional crutches that function as both guide canes and weapons.
Elektra was also prepared. She also put on her iconic red corset suit, which fully outlined her strong figure, and her weapons were already pinned behind her waist.
Although everyone was amazed by Elektra's outfit, everyone present was a tough-minded person, including Gwen. Everyone showed admiration and stopped paying attention.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Lin Hai also quickly sketched a Portal. The other end of the door was the extremely luxurious Kingpin office overlooking New York.
