American comics: From the black robe, friendship becomes stronger

Chapter 36 Customized Weapons
Knight Tek smiled and said, "I don't need any help for now. I can solve most problems by myself, you know."

Knight Tek rubbed his fingers together and made an internationally accepted gesture.

Levi was speechless. Well, compared to Knight Tek, he was indeed a poor guy.

It seems that I have to find a way to make money next. At least I have to build a small power station. I can't steal electricity from others when I charge my phone in the future, right?

However, even the smallest power station would probably cost tens of millions to operate stably and over a long period of time.

How long will it take to make movies just by making them? Walter's commission is too unscrupulous.

Just when Levi was slightly distracted, Knight Tek suddenly laughed.

"A new batch of black people are going to be sent to my prison today. Would you like to take a look?"

Blue Eagle, who had been listening nearby, couldn't help but mutter, "What's so good about visiting the prison?"

Levi ignored Blue Eagle at all. He knew very well that this was definitely not just a simple visit.

In addition to wanting to show his family's background to his own side, Knight Tek probably wants his own side to show their loyalty.

After all, no matter how nice what we said before was, it could not be more direct than blood and death!
He immediately chuckled and nodded: "Nate, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, thank you for your help!"

The fact was indeed as Levi had expected. Knight Tek really wanted Levi and Blue Eagle to personally take action against some serious criminals to verify their heartfelt hatred for black people.

He also deliberately chose a place where there were no cameras at all to show that he was not trying to leave any evidence or handles, but just wanted to verify that everyone was really one of them.

And to be honest, with Knight Tek's financial resources, if he really wants to get someone, it doesn't matter whether he has evidence or not.

America is a society where capital is supreme, and Knight Tek's family is the top capitalist.

However, this little test is not a problem at all for Levi and Lan Ying.

In the past, when they beat them up every day, in order to avoid causing too much commotion, they deliberately controlled their strength, did not show the qualities that a superhero should have, and did not kill anyone in the street.

Now that Knight Tek is in charge of cleaning up the mess, what else is there to worry about?
So they relaxed for a while and used up almost all the beating spots for the next week.

Knight Tek was also excited and joined in this small carnival. To some extent, the three of them could be regarded as comrades-in-arms fighting side by side against the enemy.

Although these blacks could no longer be reused by the Tek Knights after they completed their operation, he conservatively estimated that the loss would be hundreds of thousands.

But Knight Tek didn't care at all. He was just very happy to have two more staunch allies.

In recent years, some waves that he is very disgusted with have gradually emerged in America, such as the ridiculous Black Lives Matter movement.

If you ask him, how is black life expensive? Can't it be bought easily for a few thousand dollars?

Unfortunately, many of his friends were afraid to openly oppose him due to their image, which made him often sigh inwardly.

But after today, he is finally no longer fighting alone!
However, Knight Tek basically did not gain any physical enhancement. When dealing with these blacks, he relied more on skills, and his efficiency was much worse than Levi or Blue Eagle.

After Levi took the time to help him block a few attacks from the blacks, he seemed to casually say that using fists and feet was still too slow and a bit rude.

In fact, he prefers the feeling of swords making blood bloom, but it's a pity that ordinary swords cannot bear his power.

Knight Tek immediately said that his family owned a company that was responsible for researching space alloys and might be able to help, and asked Levi what kind of weapon he liked.

What else could Levi say? Compared to the many advantages of the Tek Knight, his shortcomings were not worth mentioning at all. He even began to like him a little.

Indeed, ordinary aviation alloys may cost several hundred yuan per kilogram, but since Knight Tek took the initiative to propose it, it is definitely not something that can be obtained with just a few hundred or tens of thousands of yuan. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of him, a super rich man?

However, Levi did not intend to continue to take advantage of this, or owe such a small favor.

It's just that Levi hasn't learned any special martial arts yet. He only took the time to learn some stick skills in order to make the identity of the King of Cards more credible, but it just looks fancy.

After thinking about it, Levi decided that since he had been asked, he might as well get a few more as backups at once. Maybe he would have a new hidden identity in the future and would need to change to different weapons?
So he told Knight Tek his general requirements, asking for one sword, one spear, one halberd, and one dagger.

Then he transferred one million to the other party as a deposit on the spot, and also paid 500,000 for Blue Eagle.

Indeed, as a superhero of Water, Blue Eagle made money very quickly, but like most Americans, he had no idea of ​​saving money at all.

When he had money, he did whatever he wanted. He was involved in pornography, gambling, and drugs. He might not be able to come up with even 5,000 yuan, let alone 500,000 yuan.

Well, in fact, according to a survey conducted some time ago, at least 400% of American adults cannot come up with $ in emergency cash. They are all a bunch of poor people.

Moreover, they spend too much. If they have a stable job, they can barely make ends meet and seem to be living well in the eyes of outsiders. But once they lose their jobs, they are likely to go bankrupt in an instant. If they cannot repay their loans, they will also go bankrupt, which will lead to the confiscation of their houses and cars, and it will be difficult for them to find a suitable job again.

It is a very common and frequent phenomenon in America that a white-collar worker sitting in an office quickly becomes a homeless person living under a bridge.

Do you really think that those homeless people are voluntary? They just have no better choice.

Unless they are involved in gangs or simply become prostitutes on the street, they can only survive on welfare.

Moreover, once credit is bankrupt, it is almost impossible to recover on one's own without external help.

The most obvious example is a congressman from Florida who went bankrupt a while ago and wanted to move to Washington, but he couldn't even rent a house.
Since Levi's attitude was very firm, Knight Tek did not refuse, and even admired Levi more.

This little bit of money is of no importance to him; what matters to him more is Levi's way of doing things and his attitude.

Greedy people are easy to control, but those who are too greedy often fail to make good friends or allies.

Levi is now able to realize this and control his greed, which makes him better than more than 90% of people.

After some more pleasantries, Levi took Blue Eagle back to New Jersey.

Halfway through the journey, Blue Eagle rarely told his lame black jokes, but remained silent for a long time.

It was not until he was almost home that he spoke: "Levi, thank you so much for today."

He is a bit straightforward, but he is not completely brainless. He naturally understands Knight Tek's courtesy to him. One of the reasons is that they have common interests, but more importantly, it is because of Levi and Starlight.

Levi affectionately called the other person by his real name: "Nick, what are you talking about? We are friends, aren't we?"

Perhaps at the beginning, Levi only regarded Blue Eagle as a simple tool, but after spending some time together, Levi has gradually changed his attitude.

No matter from which perspective, Blue Eagle is definitely a very qualified friend.

He is not just a drinking buddy, he is really loyal and will do his best to fulfill any request.

Just like this time, in order to get in touch with Tek Knight, he knew that making racist remarks in public would seriously affect his reputation, the hostility of other black superheroes, and even Walter's attitude towards him, but he did it without hesitation.

Just looking at this point, his status in Levi's mind was greatly improved.

"Haha, that's right, we are friends. If you need me to do anything in the future, Levi, just ask. Even if it means beating up the Homelanders, you must call me!"

Levi smiled and said nothing. It was very rare for Lan Ying to have such an intention, but if a fight really broke out, Levi would not let him go to die.

Ordinary superheroes who cannot fly are too passive in front of our countrymen who can fly at supersonic speeds.

If the battle is fought in open areas such as the wild, we will only become a living target for the motherland's hot eyes.

Now he already had the defensive power of Starlight and Kimiko's self-healing power. Next, he just needed to acquire some floating or flying abilities to improve his mobility, and he would be able to basically fight his Homelanders head-on.

Even if his true identity is exposed at that time, as long as he does not show any stubbornness and the tendency to fight against Walter to the end, it will not be a big deal even if he offends his fellow countrymen.

Ultimately, the massive leak of Compound No. 5 was the personal act of Homelander, not the idea of ​​Walter or President Edgar.

Just as he was thinking about it, Levi's spare phone rang again.

Without even looking, Levi knew that it must be Hughie and the others who had caused trouble again.

This even made him a little annoyed. Damn it, you come to me for help every few days. Do you really think I'm a free babysitter?

Levi had even considered tying them all up and force-injecting compound number five into them to help them gain superpowers.

Then I would copy them myself so that they wouldn't cause trouble outside all day and need my help to clean it up.

It is just that once hostility arises between the two sides, the system's copy function may not continue to be effective.

And because he currently only had one tube of compound No. 5, which was not enough for everyone to share, he temporarily gave up the idea.

However, perhaps we can try to obtain more Compound No. 5 and find someone to crack and copy it.

Well, that's just right. I can take some time to see whether that wise sister is a pure blowhard or just a bright pearl in the dark!
Thinking of this, Levi answered the phone: "Hello, Huey, what's going on?"

"King of Cards, help! The locomotive has found my house and captured my dad!"
