Chapter 11 The So-called Superhero

Xingguang's eyes suddenly widened: "Levi, someone needs us!"

This is her first day as a member of the Seven, and it will also be her first superhero action in New York!
Levi first took a quick look around to confirm that this street was a busy place with a large number of cameras, then he straightened his clothes.

There was no time to change his uniform for the time being, but the light wings behind him could still easily allow people to identify his true identity.

However, this requires him to deliberately restrain himself, otherwise if he goes all out, the camera will be overexposed and nothing will be seen.

Similarly, Starlight also has the ability to do this. In modern society, their abilities are very suitable for murder or burglary.

Of course, other people are not fools either. If they really use it to do bad things, they will be easily caught.

Whether they are from Red River Assisted Living Center, Godolphin University, or superheroes like Annie who debuted through talent shows, they are all registered with Vought Corporation.

"Annie, now I want to tell you something. In fact, many superheroes in this world are not as good as you think."

Xingguang was a little confused for a moment, but he didn't think about it too much because the cries for help from the other side were getting louder and louder.

"Okay, I understand. Scum like Fukai is a disgrace to the Seven, but we are different, right?"

Levi did not comment: "Watch what I do next. Remember, do not act rashly or use excessive violence, even if the other party is really guilty of a heinous crime. Do you understand?"

Seeing that Levi was not in a hurry to save people, but instead said these words, and even took out his mobile phone, as if he was ready to call someone, Xingguang, who was originally quite excited, gradually cooled down a lot.

She began to feel that Levi was about to reveal to her the unknown side of the superheroes again.

Could it be that this angel whom she secretly admired also had some secrets?

But considering that Levi had always behaved so well before, she nodded vigorously: "Okay, I understand!"

After running to the scene like the wind, Levi found that the other party was just a few black men who were robbing with knives.

Naturally, they couldn't cause any trouble and were easily dealt with by Levi and Xingguang in no time.

This time, Levi did not use any brutal force, and the other party did not even bleed.

Until this point, Xingguang still didn't quite understand why Levi had just said that.

When the rescue operation was over, passers-by around them began to shout their names, take photos and videos, and even asked for their autographs.

Levi also responded very enthusiastically, and even implicitly reminded Xingguang to do the same, and posed a few shots that were easy to be photogenic. Only then did Xingguang suddenly come to her senses.

At this moment, they are more like superstars than superheroes!

Water Company responded very quickly. After all, New York is their base. Within just over ten minutes, a group of people arrived carrying cameras.

This includes Ashley. Levi just called her. After all, she is a professional.

They shot many shots back and forth to ensure that they could be used on television, in newspapers, on the Internet, etc., and they praised Levi and Xingguang before letting them go.

Ashley now likes the angels more and more. Reporting it in advance and having it posted on the Internet by passers-by afterwards and then having them carry out emergency public relations actions are completely different.

Judging from this alone, the angels' intelligence and overall quality have surpassed more than 90% of superheroes.

If other superheroes could do this, they wouldn't have to work overtime every day.

Well, actually it can be considered as overtime now, but this matter will definitely increase Starlight’s support rate, and then allow Water Company to gain more wealth, and then they will all get bonuses!

However, although it took Levi and his team less than half a minute to rescue the man, it took them more than an hour to deal with the situation afterwards.

After leaving the crowd, Xingguang, who had been forcing a business smile on his face, suddenly became a little depressed.

Levi found it a little funny: "How is it? Is it very different from what you expected?"

Xingguang nodded without hesitation: "Yes, if there was no script, I would have thought I was filming a TV series. Do other superheroes usually do this?"

Levi chuckled: "Yes, most of them really have scripts."

"If it weren't for what happened today, Ashley would probably have arranged an operation for you tomorrow, asking you to go to a designated place at a designated time and subdue a few designated 'criminals'."

At the end, he deliberately emphasized his tone, which immediately made Xingguang realize something.

She was a little bit unbelievable: "Is it really all a script?"

"Well, at least mostly. You know that performing arts is one of the required courses at Godolphin University, right?"

Xingguang became more depressed: "I know, but I didn't pay much attention to it, and I didn't expect it to be used here."

She didn't go to school. She took the talent show route. Since she was less than ten years old, when she showed her superpowers, she began participating in talent shows of all sizes.

Most of those who are qualified to become official superheroes under Vought graduated from the professional university - Godokin, but this is not an absolute requirement.

Currently, the U.S. government only gives Godolphin University five places each year to serve as guardians in a certain city.

But there are nearly 300 superheroes in Watt's service. Could this be the accumulation of the past 60 years?

Of course not, they have other ways to select superheroes, including talent shows.

She started in Des Moines, then in Iowa, and finally toured the United States. She had no idea how much effort, hard work and sweat it took to get to where she is today.

But ever since she stepped into the Vought headquarters, one thing after another has challenged her past perceptions of Vought and the superheroes.

Levi nodded slightly: "Walter is a listed company, they need to be responsible for the stock price and shareholders. If you act arbitrarily and seriously injure those hooligans just now, a good thing will turn into a bad thing, so Walter needs to control the variables, and the script becomes the best choice."

Thanks to the developed Internet, slander often does not cost anything, or simply cutting out a picture or a few key frames can turn his good deed of saving lives into a bad one.

To quote out of context is taken from "Don't quote out of context". Levi just wants to improve his strength slowly, so he naturally wants to avoid a lot of trouble.

He was not in the mood to truly maintain America's security or save the American people. He wanted to let them continue to struggle in dire straits.

But he felt like he was almost becoming Xingguang's babysitter, saying so much in a long-winded way.

Fortunately, the only female superhero who needs him to seduce her in this way is probably Xingguang, right?
I’m afraid that other female superheroes are mostly like firecrackers. If you like someone, you will just go for them, let alone make friends with them.

Despite this, Xingguang still couldn't accept it for a while. It was a feeling of his dream collapsing.

Before she became one of the Seven, she investigated intelligence on her own in Des Moines and rescued innocent citizens on her own. She never used a script or anything, but didn't she do a good job anyway?

"Okay, don't take it too seriously. Today is your first day as one of the Seven. You still have to share your joy with your mother. Don't let her worry, okay?"

Hearing this, Xingguang's expression finally changed. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Yes, Levi, you are right."

"Haha, be happy. Do you want me to take you home?"

Levi was polite for a moment, but he actually planned to change his clothes later and continue beating people tonight.

In order to maintain his public image, since those old black guys weren't hurt, he naturally had to find other old black guys to vent his anger.

Unexpectedly, Xingguang simply nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."

Levi raised an eyebrow: "I thought you would refuse."

Sending a girl home often represents the beginning of an ambiguous relationship.

Xingguang then smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Levi, I believe you are different. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't tell me this."

"Hehe, okay, so, we are friends, right?"

Xingguang said without hesitation: "Of course!"

Before he finished speaking, the other party's illustration appeared in Levi's mind.

Codename: Starlight

Type: Energy
Special ability 1: Electric power conversion. It can absorb surrounding electricity without contact and release it in the form of light.

The specific manifestations are that it can destroy other people's retinas, causing temporary or permanent blindness, melt metal, have strong concussion force, etc., and can temporarily suspend or fly if there is enough energy.

At the same time, it can make both eyes glow, greatly enhancing vision and allowing you to see in the dark.

The upper limit of electricity that can be absorbed and stored, the duration, and the efficiency of conversion, etc., depend on many factors such as physical fitness, control, and proficiency.

Full replication is possible, with an estimated 185 minutes of continuous exposure required.

Special Ability 2: Super strong defense, can withstand frontal shooting from ordinary sniper rifles, and has matching strength, endurance and self-healing ability.

Full replication is possible, with an estimated 90 minutes of continuous exposure required.

Special Ability 3: Masterful Dance, fully replicable, expected to require 9 seconds of continuous contact.

Levi was suddenly excited. In a city where electricity is everywhere, the power of electricity conversion is unquestionable, and it is very compatible with his abilities as an angel!
Moreover, in the later period, after a series of battles and excitement, Xingguang learned to fly, and his speed was even at supersonic level, and his potential was still very great.

All I can say is that she was too bad in the early stages and never really developed her abilities.

Levi felt that he might be able to do something fancy by combining it with his wings of light.

There is no need to say much about her super strong defense. In the original plot, Xingguang was beaten up by many top fighters, and she seemed to be a complete novice in fighting skills.

But no matter how hard she was beaten, she just looked very embarrassed. In fact, she didn't bleed much, and most of the battles did not even cause superficial injuries.

As long as he could get it, except for the most powerful Homelander, the super-fast locomotive, and a few guys who could control minds, he would basically be fearless against more than 99% of the superheroes!
It's just that this time takes a little long. Unless two people lie in the same bed, how can they be in contact for so long? It seems that I still need to change my plan a little.

Levi laughed to hide his inner excitement: "Then I will be a knight for once, Princess, please get in the car!"

The area of ​​New York City is less than one-tenth of Beijing, so it won’t take long to send Xingguang home.

Maybe it was because there was no camera, or maybe it was just because he was drunk, Xingguang started talking nonstop halfway through the journey, looking back on the past, thinking about the present, and looking forward to the future.

Levi just realized that this girl is so talkative. Well, her tongue must be very flexible.

When we got to her house, she calmed down a little and her mother became the enthusiastic person.

Although he is not one of the Seven yet, Levi is also a famous guardian of New Jersey. Coupled with his outstanding appearance, he has fans from eighty-year-old ladies to teenage girls.

Apparently, Starlight's mom was one of them, or at least she pretended to be at the moment.

What's more, she is not stupid. Even if she becomes a superhero, her precious daughter still needs some friends. Angel is undoubtedly a very good candidate.

Even if her daughter suddenly said she was dating an angel, she would never object.

Although Angel is an Asian, dating doesn’t mean you have to get married!

Levi also understood what the other party meant. It was so funny that she didn't try to hide it at all, which made Xingguang feel a little embarrassed.

Meeting idols, inviting idols to your home, and dating idols, these three things represent completely different meanings.

It’s not that she really refuses, but isn’t this moving too fast?
But Levi had no such plan. Xingguang's small figure was not his type. It would be fine for him to play with him once or a few times, but he didn't want to tie him up.

After bidding farewell to Starlight, Levi changed his clothes, completed his daily task of beating up the arse, and then returned to New Jersey leisurely.

Today's record is +8 again, but there is still a long way to go in the future. There are millions of black people in New York City alone, so he still needs to work harder!
