American comics: From the black robe, friendship becomes stronger

Chapter 35 Energy Source

According to legend, George Washington, the first president of the United States, once made high-quality boots using Indian skin.

For a long time, black people were used as cotton pickers on plantations. They had a very low status. Have they ever encountered similar treatment?
Levi was not in the mood to sympathize with the other party's situation. It was just that Blue Eagle found several special collections related to it from somewhere and swore that they were real.

Moreover, they did look like old items, and Levi, who was not good at tomb-robbing, could not tell whether they were genuine or fake.

Fortunately, when they were given to Knight Tek as a gift by the two people, Knight Tek's heartfelt joy could not be faked.

At least Knight Tek thinks it is true, and that is enough.

After exchanging some jokes about black people, fried chicken, watermelon, basketball and fathers, both sides were completely convinced that the other party did share the same hobbies with them.

Then Levi and Blue Eagle enjoyed a luxurious hospitality in Knight Tek's castle, which was said to have a history of more than 200 years.

What makes Levi a little speechless is that Knight Tek is obviously a racist, but his butler is actually a black man. Could it be a legacy left to him by his ancestors?
During this period, the assistant of Tek Knight also showed up. This guy wearing a green tights and with a capital "L" on his helmet, belt and left chest is also a third-tier superhero, nicknamed Radio.

However, apart from basic physical enhancement, he does not have any superpowers, and there is not much relevant information on the Internet. Even Levi is not clear about what his nickname means.

It was not until the equally curious Blue Eagle asked this question that Levi was speechless again to learn that Radio was actually his surname, and their family had served the Tek Knights for generations.

Well, this is another legacy, that is, Radio did not take off the mask, so Levi could not accurately judge whether he was also a black man.

But what really made Levi a little uncomfortable was that he smelled the body fluids of Tek Knight on Radio.

Then there were lubricants, urine, feces and the like, which made Levi immediately realize that the rumors were true and that Tek Knight had very special preferences.

Levi once again hated his overly sensitive sense of smell. Why couldn't it be adjusted freely? Otherwise, why would he have to suffer this?

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that Knight Tek had polluted his sense of smell, which was barely offset by his invitation and hospitality. He was a magnanimous person and would not bear grudge.

Hopefully he's smart enough not to focus on himself, otherwise Levi will make sure he won't let him live, no matter how powerful his family is!

Fortunately, Knight Tek is not that stupid, or maybe it is simply because it is rare to meet a superhero who has the same hobbies as him and dares to express them bravely, so he has always been very enthusiastic towards Levi and Blue Eagle.

Blue Eagle also took the time to suggest that he would like to visit his Tek Cave.

Knight Tek hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

But what made Blue Eagle feel strange was that Knight Tek did not invite Levi who was standing next to him, and Levi seemed not to have heard anything at all, and just admired the oil painting hanging on the wall very seriously.

Being familiar with Levi's character, he tacitly did not say anything more. After all, the mystery would be solved soon after a few looks.

Half a minute later, Blue Eagle with dazed eyes emerged from the ground, glanced at Levi, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Levi chuckled and just patted Lan Ying's shoulder to comfort him.

The reason why he didn't follow was because he already knew what was down there.

There are no Tek cars, Tek planes or anything like that. Instead, there are all kinds of rubber products, electric toys, restraint props, etc., all of which are things that Tek Knights like!

Knight Tek, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He felt that his little hobby was very normal among superheroes. At least there was no blood on his hands.

After taking Levi and Blue Eagle around again, Knight Tek took out a series of documents that he had prepared in advance.

Levi glanced through it casually and found that it was some endorsement advertisement or something like that.

As long as they spend a little bit of time, they can at least bring themselves more than 500 million in returns. This is Knight Tek's sincerity. He is using real money to win over Levi and Blue Eagle.

In a way, this is one of Knight Tek's superpowers, he is super rich.

However, Levi did not accept it, but said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you very much, but this time I actually need your help, it is really inconvenient to accept such an expensive gift again."

Knight Tek kept smiling when he heard this: "You're welcome, Levi. You know, this is nothing to my family. It's just a small testimony of our friendship. You can just call me Knight."

His family's wealth is worth tens of billions. Even if it is kept in the bank, the daily interest is more than a million.

Blue Eagle is nothing, but if he can be used to make friends with Levi, Walter's second-tier superhero, and Starlight, who may have a real relationship with him, it would be a great deal.

Then he asked curiously, "I wonder if you need my help with anything? I have always been very generous to my friends."

Levi didn't hide it: "I think you should know that Walter is arranging to stir up a CP with me and Xingguang recently. As we continue to get in touch, I find that I seem to really start to like her a little bit, but there is a more obvious gap between us. She is one of the Seven."

Levi paused deliberately and looked a little distressed.

Knight Tek couldn't help but clap his hands softly: "Wow, because of love."

Levi nodded helplessly: "So I want to give her a special gift. Her superpower is power conversion, and she needs to draw power from the outside world to gain strength. I heard that your Tech suit has a very special energy source." At this point, Levi said seriously: "I know my request may be very presumptuous, but I hope you can consider it. I am willing to pay for it."

"That's it, I understand."

Knight Tek nodded slightly. As a person with super powers who debuted through the American talent show and became one of the Vought Seven, Starlight is also a legend, and her super powers are no longer a secret.

It has to be said that Levi gave him a difficult problem.

He does possess a special source of energy, but the raw materials used to make it, like the Tek suit, come from meteorites and are completely irreplaceable. It can be said that if Levi is given one, he will lose one forever.

However, it is not completely out of the question, because after so many years of use, their special substance has been gradually consumed, and they have been transformed from the original energy source into a pure energy storage device.

They need to be charged in advance before they can work, and can basically be understood as power banks, which greatly reduces their value.

It’s just that they are all oversized power banks that can store tens or millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity at a time, but they are not very large in size, so they still have a certain value.

At the same time, his battle suit was severely damaged due to repeated use, but he never had the right materials to repair it, so these energy sources were naturally useless.

If it was just Levi's request, he might refuse, but if it was coupled with the recent popularity of his star, it would be worth considering.

Despite this, he still frowned deliberately, thought carefully, and then nodded with a little difficulty.

"If it is your request, Angel, as a gift to Starlight, then I am willing to support it. After all, we are friends, aren't we?"

Levi was stunned for a moment, not only because Knight Tek agreed so readily, but also because the system prompted him that he could already copy the other party's superpowers!
Wow, although my system is not smart enough and can’t even do basic question-answering, it is quite flexible when it comes to copying capabilities.

Not only can you ask, but if the other party takes the initiative to indicate that he or she is your friend, it also complies with the rules!

Codename: Tek Knight

Type: Physical
Special ability 1: Primary enhanced sense of smell;
Special ability 2: Primary enhanced perception;
Special Ability 3: Primary enhanced sense of touch.

Fully replicable, estimated exposure time of 5 seconds per item.

It can be seen from the time required to copy them that these three abilities are really not that great. After all, superheroes are already enhanced in these aspects.

Even so, even a mosquito leg is still meat, and Levi had no intention of refusing. It was just something that could be done easily anyway.

He immediately pretended to be very surprised, hurriedly thanked Knight Tek, and took the initiative to shake hands with him.

Knight Tek also responded with a smile, and both sides looked very happy, although he felt that Levi's handshake seemed a little long, lasting more than ten seconds.

But it is understandable, after all, this kind of thing is really important to Levi.

However, Knight Tek still specifically pointed out the disadvantages of the energy source. They are no longer able to generate energy themselves and need to be charged in advance.

In order to make up for this weakness, he decided to give Levi two so that Starlight could be used in turns.

Levi naturally hurried to thank him, which was enough for him.

Soon, Knight Tek took out two long batteries about one foot long, with a sci-fi feel, and told Levi that one of them had a capacity of 50 and the other had a capacity of 80.

He had already charged them in advance. If the starlight ran out later, they would probably need to go to the power plant to recharge. Ordinary household electricity could not satisfy their big appetite.

But this has already surprised Levi quite a bit. Since he got Starlight's superpowers, he has deliberately gone to small power plants in other states and secretly conducted several experiments.

Even if his energy is exhausted, it will take about 25 kWh of electricity to replenish it.

Moreover, he absorbs electricity extraordinarily quickly, and can basically finish it in just a dozen seconds.

At that time, he was quite amazed that Chaoying's body was really not scientific at all. An ordinary 100-meter building would consume about this much electricity every day.

At the same time, according to his estimation, activating a teleportation to another world would consume about 80% of his energy, or 20 kWh of electricity.

Now with these two energy sources as backup, they are enough for him to make several trips back and forth!
Although he had some opinions about Knight Tek's personal hobbies, he had to admit that Knight Tek was a great help!

The other party was so generous that he couldn't help but express his gratitude. He kept asking the other party if there was anything he needed help with, and he would do his best.

He even thought about it. If the other party proposed to kill a certain Chaoying or other chaebols who had a grudge against him, he could agree to it depending on the circumstances.

The higher the other party's demands, the more cleanly you can repay the favor you owe them.

He didn't want to owe too much, because if he did, the only way out would be to die and the debt would be wiped out.
