The Second Summoning

"Qing Qing, do you like me? Not the kind of liking where someone else forced you to like me."

After seeing Qi Lin leave, Long Qian looked at the gentle, adorable Qing Qing before him and asked curiously.

He did like adorable Angel Sisters, that was true, but he did not like forcing others to like him.

Qing Qing had come to Earth on Yan's orders, and having Qing Qing become his Guardian Angel was probably Yan's arrangement too.

After all, angels followed Sacred Keisha's data matching. He had nothing.

Every little angel in Angel Civilization had her own preferences. He was not money, so he could not make everyone like him. No, he should say he was not something all angels liked.

Perhaps some angels liked handsome men, some liked the strong, some liked the brave, and some might like sweet talkers.

Although he had several of those traits, it was still impossible for every angel to fall for him.

Therefore, he wanted to hear Qing Qing's own thoughts.

"Male God, love is a kind of cosmic will. We do not need to live for long; data matching is enough. Even though I have not undergone data matching, Sister Yan said that you are the future, the hope. Then you are my future, my hope.

"I trust Sister Yan. No matter how many people you come to like in the future, I will never leave you. I will bear pain and suffering for you."

Qing Qing's eyes were filled with determination and tenderness.

From the moment she swore the Angel Guardian Oath, both her body and heart belonged to Long Qian.

Even if Long Qian met with misfortune someday, she would not live on alone. She would follow him in death.

Actually, when she heard the story Long Qian told beneath the covers this morning, her heart had suddenly stirred. Perhaps the girl in that story was her entire life.

But now, Long Qian was her beloved.

"If I die in battle someday, Male God, don't be sad."

Qing Qing's hands unconsciously rose to caress Long Qian's face as she spoke softly.

"Pah, pah, pah! What nonsense are you talking about? Let me see who dares bully you. I'll chop him into seven pieces and scatter his ashes!"

Long Qian directly covered Qing Qing's cherry-red lips and spoke with utmost seriousness.

He had better not remember who caused his adorable Qing Qing to die in battle. If he found out, he would beat the shit out of them.

He remembered the later plot of Super Seminary. Humans and gods alike were showing off; demons, Taotie, and Sky Scum were all showing off to the fullest, while only their angels kept getting beaten up.

In those later scenes, angels were either getting beaten up, on their way to getting beaten up, or dying in battle.

"Pfft..."

Hearing Long Qian say that, Qing Qing laughed. She had not expected her Male God to be so serious.

"I'll take you around Juxia City. Maybe you can experience the prosperity of Earth's humans, something you've never experienced before."

"Mm, okay!"

Evening.

After spending the entire afternoon shopping, Long Qian brought Qing Qing back to Qi Lin's home.

Seeing Qing Qing washing fruit in the kitchen and having nothing to do himself, he began chatting with the system.

"System, Old Man Jia is over thirty million years old. Does that mean I'm Old Man Jia now too? Am I his human host, or his original body?"

Long Qian cared greatly about whether he was still an ordinary person. He wanted to interact with Xiong Bing Lian and the others as an ordinary person.

With himself suddenly gaining another identity, he felt like he had become capable again. He had finally completed his transformation and stood tall.

Logically speaking, he now had two identities. No, three identities. Did that mean he should also be light, or rather, a Light Lifeform?

According to certain people, he was the first ray of light in Orion, or the first ray of darkness.

System: "Host, theoretically, that is the case. However, your second identity is sealed and still undergoing authorization. Before you receive authorization, you are still an ordinary person, so stop thinking about it. Besides, you are different from other transmigrators. You are rather special.

"And, Host, Old Man Jia never left behind a stone statue in this world. What would carry his light?

"His light still needs time to reach this world, so isn't it perfectly normal for the authorization not to have arrived yet?"

The system mercilessly poured a bucket of cold water over him, instantly extinguishing Long Qian's enthusiasm.

"Damn it, why is Old Man Jia so stingy? It even needs authorization? I'm not freeloading—I paid for the transformation device, okay? It's not like I bought a pirated version.

"And, System, that stone statue you mentioned is just his combat body. What is wrong with him leaving the combat body to Daigo and leaving the light to me? I have to be him and be his wife too. This little request isn't excessive, is it?

"Besides, it's not like I never lent him my light when I was little. I even became him in my dreams. I am Tiga. What is wrong with letting me inherit the identity of his original body? Why be so stingy!"

Long Qian began complaining. He actually could not use the Spark Prism or become Tiga. He was truly furious.

System: "..."

The system was immediately stunned by Long Qian's shamelessness. Listen to yourself—were those even human words?

It was one thing to covet someone else's light, but he even coveted someone else's identity.

"System, after Old Man Jia authorizes me, does that mean I'll be his original body? I am Old Man Jia, but Old Man Jia is not me!"

System: "Mm, that's right."

"That's good news. Fine, I'll wait, then."

Long Qian settled for the next best thing. This was still good news. In the future, he would be Tiga. He would beat up everyone who borrowed his power. Was Tiga's power really so easy to borrow?

"By the way, System, if I summon now, even if I summon someone from an evil faction, they won't be able to do anything to me, right? Old Man Jia is the boss of the Heisei Three Rogues, the godfather of the Ultra Gang. There shouldn't be anyone darker than him, right? And he's a mage too. He can even purify things."

Long Qian felt that he probably did not need to be afraid anymore. Even if he summoned something evil, he would not need to fear it.

The term "myriad heavens and worlds" covered far too vast a framework. What if something like a soul entity appeared?

Although the system's malfunction clause stated that the summoned being's maximum combat strength would not exceed the strongest combat strength in the Super Seminary Universe, who knew how strong Little Milk Sha was?

Besides, Little Milk Sha and the others often spoke of the known universe. Long Qian could not determine how vast the known universe was, whether stronger beings existed, or whether the void universe counted as part of the Super Seminary Universe.

But now, he was no longer afraid. If they had the ability, they could try possessing Tiga, who was over thirty million years old.

System: "Uh... Host, theoretically, that's correct. Would you like to begin the summoning now?"

"Start it. Let me see what you can summon. If it's trash or something harmful to me, I'll die and show you!!!"

Long Qian felt that his system could definitely rig things behind the scenes. A system that could not rig things was not a good system.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing this summoning. The summoned item comes from the Marvel world: optimized Super Soldier Serum ×4. Using this Super Soldier Serum can strengthen physical attributes.

(In a certain universe, because the last remaining batches of Super Soldier Serum were stolen, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D. resigned to take responsibility, while dozens of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were assassinated.)

"Super Soldier Serum? The one Captain America used, right? Damn it, didn't you say I can't receive a Super Gene injection? What use is this thing to me?"

Seeing the several vials of Super Soldier Serum suddenly appear on the table, Long Qian wore a confused expression.

Was this thing really useful to him?

He knew it could strengthen the human body. After all, Captain America had gone from a weak man to a hunk after receiving the injection.

He wanted to inject himself a few times too. He did not need anything else; as long as it made his body stronger, that was enough. He did look somewhat frail right now.

Although he was six foot one, he only weighed around one hundred and thirty or forty pounds. That really was not enough. He was too skinny.

System: "Host, the Super Soldier Serum only optimizes and modifies the body; it does not modify genes. Your genes have a protection mechanism and cannot be altered, which is why you cannot receive a Super Gene injection and become a Super Seminary Universe super soldier."

Only after hearing the system's explanation did Long Qian understand. He then said, "Oh, I understand now. My genes do not permit—or cannot undergo—enhancement and optimization. I can't receive something like a Super Gene injection to directly elevate my life level, but my body can."

Who did not want immortality? That way, he could work for several thousand years and stay thousands of years ahead of other workers.

Just kidding. The reason he wanted a Super Gene was that super soldiers could live for at least a thousand years, while he could only live for a hundred. Just thinking about it made him feel unbalanced.

At least, that was how things were for now.

System: "You can understand it that way."
