Leon had simply named the golden liquid Fantasy Power.
The abundant harvest meant that he was on the right path. Now, he just needed to wait for it to accumulate to a certain level, then evaporate the Fantasy Power to materialize things. With this ability, he could modify his plan at any time. After all, a plan should never be rigid.
Feeling relaxed and happy, Leon returned home.
Over the past year, while the super-soldier corps led by Melina battled Viper, he had stayed in town, cultivating the small universe within him. Harvesting faith did not interfere with his practice. This was why he had sought out and trained reliable subordinates—to have someone else stir up trouble outside while he and his family lived a stable life.
The family hadn't changed much in a year. While Li Xiang and his wife had different personalities, they both preferred a peaceful life. This was true even after they had injected themselves with an exclusive super-gene serum, pushing their physical fitness to the peak of human capability. It's worth mentioning that after Li Xiang injected the serum, he thought he could be more vigorous and return to his prime, but unfortunately, Amy was also an enhanced version, and he still couldn't beat her.
His mother, Amy, was even more proud. She had a well-maintained figure and her skin was even better. Seeing the envy of her girlfriends made her so happy.
The two younger babies were too young to be injected with the gene serum, so they would have to wait until they grew up. Besides, the scientists were still optimizing the gene serum, and its enhancement effects would only become stronger with each generation.
Upon returning home, Leon found the atmosphere very lively; they were preparing for a party.
Parties, like barbecues, are a big part of American culture, and many communities host large gatherings and dinners. This party was limited to Li Xiang and Amy's close friends.
There were quite a few people—around 30 to 40, both men and women. The men were dressed casually, but the women were all dressed up and had spent a long time on their makeup. Unfortunately, the main protagonists of the evening were still Li Xiang and Amy.
It goes without saying that even with light makeup, Amy's skin, looks, and figure were absolutely top-tier. Her husband "inadvertently" showed off the results of a year of "fitness"—his perfect abdominal muscles and physique were completely different from the explosive muscles of Sheriff James.
The friends mostly focused on the relationship between Li Xiang and Amy.
The children were running around and playing on the lawn in the backyard. The backyard had been specially equipped with some amusement facilities for the younger children, and the swimming pool had been expanded. The little ones were having a great time, and the two big dogs were excitedly running around as well.
Leon's appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention. After all, he had changed a lot in the past year. He was 1.8 meters tall a year ago, and now he had grown to 1.85 meters. His height and the perfect muscle tone from his diligent training were fully visible beneath his white T-shirt. His handsome face and elegant, noble demeanor made it impossible for people to look away. The friends and girls his age couldn't help but flock to him.
It must be said that, influenced by the social environment, the girls were very open and sent out various date invitations around Leon. Faced with so many invitations from young and beautiful girls, Leon showed neither the shyness nor the debauchery of his age. Instead, he was very poised in both his words and his actions, handling everyone politely without ignoring anyone.
He gently declined the dates, which made the girls sad but even more passionate. After all, with such a good personality, mature behavior, impeccable looks, and a good family, they were willing to pursue a long-term relationship. If one of them could win him over, she would be the most envied girl in her circle.
It was a pity that while the "goddesses" were interested, the "king" was not. To him, their looks and figures were only average. He had seen countless top-tier figures, looks, and styles among the Black Widows. The spies trained by the Red Room were all attractive women, and after being optimized by the super-serum, they were even more beautiful. If he had wanted to be "Aquaman," he would have already had his fill.
Watching Leon in the crowd, James, the muscular sheriff, who was holding a beer bottle and chatting with his father, Li Xiang, sighed. "I really envy you, Li. That kid is a perfect guy. If he went to school often, the teachers would have a headache."
"By the way, are you Orientals really so good at studying?" James was a little skeptical. His own son had just graduated, but his grades had never been great. The teachers had said he was more suited for sports than academics. His son was a man with brawn but no brains. When he ran into trouble, he preferred to use his fists to argue.
But what about Leon? He wasn't in school all year and had no teacher's guidance, yet his test scores were always first or second in the school, never falling out of the top three. In terms of social skills, his son made people afraid, rejected, and hated him, while Leon got along with everyone. Aside from a few extremely bigoted idiots, no one disliked him. The gap was just too big.
"It's all his hard work, James," Li Xiang said with a laugh. "Little James is also very good. Hasn't he become a police officer? I heard that he has excellent performance in shooting and fighting. Your police station won't be his final destination."
In his heart, no one's son could compare to his. His son was a child chosen by God—or rather, he was already on the path of becoming a god. He was also the king of a country. What would people say? Li Xiang felt a strange, secretive joy, as if everyone was drunk and only he was sober.
James knew about his friend's secret joy, but after hearing the words of comfort, he thought it was true. Maybe there was a macho, violent factor in his bloodline that made him suitable for fighting criminals with guns and becoming an excellent police officer.
He clinked his bottle with Li Xiang, leaned in, and whispered mysteriously, "Li, a lot of big things have been happening in the last two days. I heard that military bases and aircraft carriers overseas are getting ready to move, all because of the mysterious man who has appeared recently and has been widely rumored."
"I heard that many people have been discussing it recently," Li Xiang said, glancing at his son in the crowd and answering calmly. "I believe there will be big moves soon. I hope those idiots don't do anything stupid."
James, who also had his doubts about the top government officials of his country, felt their stupid actions could bring disaster to the nation. "I think so too."
