Black Widow continued,"Hey, I've made quite a bit of money recently. The Taoist priest advised me to resign, and I was still hesitating. Now that my unit doesn't even give annual leave, I…"
Fury hurriedly cut in,"Take a break! Take a break! I'll give you a week off—rest properly!"
Widow hung up the phone with a satisfied look, then smiled at Lin Chen."Fury is such an asshole. I say I want to resign and he immediately approves vacation."
Lin Chen leaned back lazily."That's how capitalists are. Agent Romanoff, let's celebrate first."
Widow: "…"
Lin Chen stayed in New York for a week, spending several days shopping with Widow. The two were just like lovers in the honeymoon phase—nothing could set them off.
But Widow's vacation balance soon ran out. Lin Chen had to return to Gotham to make money, and there were still people waiting for him at home.
When he came back, he was complained at for a while—but after he gave everyone two million, all grievances instantly vanished.
Mela's eyes turned red."My God… that's my salary for a hundred years!"
Catwoman was not stingy at all with her kisses.
Serena said she didn't even know how to spend that much money.
Harley started calculating what to buy and gave Serena a full shopping plan.
Serena licked her lips."Master, two million is a bit too little."
Lin Chen smacked her on the wing vein."How long has it been? That's money saved over hundreds of years. Selina, who used to wear only leather jackets and pants from street stalls, has already changed completely. Money really corrupts women—just let them go shopping!"
Poison Ivy came over carrying a plate of fruit."Sir, this is fruit from our own little orchard."
Lin Chen picked up a berry and took a bite—sweet, juicy, and full of energy.
"Very good, Ivy. You've made a great contribution. From now on, eating spirit fruits will make your skin better and your spiritual power stronger."
Catwoman rolled her eyes."Better skin? You're doing this for your own benefit, aren't you!"
Lin Chen said, "Catwoman, you're still too naive."
He went to the cabin first to reward Poison Ivy, then made the rounds one by one.
After staying a few days, aside from fortune-telling, Lin Chen also went to Lorna's mutant base, which was located in southern Gotham by the sea.
Construction was in full swing. Lorna looked even thinner. Lin Chen forced her to go home and rest.
"Let the people below handle the work. You should focus on coordination and management."
Lin Chen also discovered that he had an extremely high reputation among the mutants. It turned out Lorna had told everyone that all the funding for the base came from him.
Batman came to see Lin Chen."Daoist, the Joker was rescued by some unknown people. I've been in a terrible mood lately. It feels like something big is coming."
Lin Chen snapped his fingers and calculated. Joker's fate was shrouded in fog—he could only see that he had been rescued by some lemon-masked people.
"He's already crippled and still causing trouble. This villain is really dedicated."
Then Lin Chen looked at Batman and suddenly stood up."Superman is dead. The Mother Box is calling. Steppenwolf is coming."
Batman froze."Steppenwolf? I once dreamed of an ugly alien named Darkseid."
"Steppenwolf is Darkseid's little brother."
Batman was stunned."Little brother? That doesn't sound too bad, right?"
Lin Chen shook his head."Even if he's the little brother, it only takes him a few minutes to beat you up—and he could do it a hundred times over."
Batman: "…Master, I don't want to be humiliated."
Lin Chen told Batman to start gathering heroes while he contacted Diana himself.
After Batman left, Lin Chen called Diana."Diana, come to Gotham immediately."
"What is it? I have an exhibition tomorrow. Come to New York yourself," Diana said, thinking Lin Chen was up to something again.
"There's trouble on Paradise Island. I'm not joking."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Diana thought nothing could happen to those fierce women, but she still trusted him."I'll come over tonight."
"Good."
Lin Chen made several calls and arranged things.
Mela looked at his serious expression."Daoist, what happened?"
"Someone is trying to steal the Mother Box."
"Mother Box?" Mela was shocked. "You know about the Mother Box too?"
She had been guarding one of the three—Atlantis's Mother Box.
"Then I have to inform my father right away!"
Lin Chen shook his head."The one coming is extremely powerful. You might not be able to stop him."
"Stronger than Doomsday?" Mela's face went pale.
"Not quite. Compared to Doomsday, Steppenwolf is the younger brother—but he's backed by terrifying forces. He invaded Earth when he was eight years old, and that was only a projection."
"Eight years old?" Serena looked like he was joking and even bared her little fangs.
Lin Chen shook his head."I'm not lying. He looks like an eight-year-old war god, and he almost wiped out Earth. Fortunately, everyone defeated him together."
Mela hugged Lin Chen's arm anxiously."Master, when you say it like that, it's even scarier."
Lin Chen brushed her red hair."What are you afraid of? No matter how strong he is, I'll kill him."
After comforting Mela, Lin Chen knew he would be busy next, so he decided to start a livestream while he still had time.
He opened his livestream. Even though he rarely went live, millions of fans instantly poured in.
Comments flooded the screen:
"Master, you were amazing in New York! You defeated those unmanned battle suits!""The Motherlander isn't even your match!""I just want to ask how to get out of being single.""The Taoist priest is just blessed by heaven—and handsome too!"
Lin Chen laughed."Thank you all for your support."
Once the viewer count reached several million, he began fortune-telling and randomly selected a user named 'Starlight.'
"Starlight?" Lin Chen was slightly surprised.
A blonde, sweet-looking girl with the temperament of the girl next door appeared on screen.
It was indeed Starlight from the Black-Robed Picket Team.
She smiled brightly."Hehe, Taoist priest, I'm so lucky!"
The comments exploded:
"Wow, she's so sweet!""She has light in her eyes—no wonder she's called Starlight!""Miss, are you single?""Daoist, don't start flirting!"
Lin Chen smiled."Starlight, you seem very popular. What do you want to calculate?"
Starlight looked at him."Master, you're so handsome. I want to meet you."
"We already know each other," Lin Chen blinked.
That caused laughter and curses to flood the chat.
Starlight smiled softly and sent him a small rocket gift."Taoist priest, I want to calculate my career."
Lin Chen nodded. Starlight was a good child. Her mother had wanted her to be a superhero since she was young and had trained her relentlessly, telling her that her electricity-manipulating power was innate.
Starlight had worked hard to live up to her mother's expectations, not wanting to disappoint her.
What she didn't know was that she had only been injected with Compound V.
Lin Chen activated his Water Mirror physiognomy.
"Starlight, congratulations. You're about to join Vought."
Starlight's mouth fell open."Master, you're incredible! You even know that!"
Lin Chen said calmly,"If I tell you not to go, you probably won't listen. So let me give you some advice instead."
Starlight nodded obediently."Taoist priest, please go ahead."
