Because of the existence of his Demon Body, Mike was not an ordinary person, and his memories from tonight were not erased by the memory-wiping device.
And after witnessing the MIB, he also figured out some things.
Previously, Mike had specifically collected information on the aftermath of the Jennifer incident in Devil's Kettle. However, neither external television nor newspapers mentioned the matter.
This was likely due to the Church and the MIB sealing off the news, preventing ordinary people from encountering such supernatural events.
This was a form of protection for ordinary people.
And for Mike, this was also a good thing. With the [Moonlight] characteristic, he currently had no intention of getting involved in supernatural events.
As an "ordinary person," quietly developing was the best approach.
Moreover, this Moonlight characteristic was indeed powerful. After basking in the moonlight for a while, Mike could feel that the stamina he had expended during his fight with Selena had almost completely recovered.
On another note, Mike could also feel that his body's various functions had indeed become more acute under the moonlight.
Next, Mike moved his body without any burden and jogged all the way back to Grandma Connie's.
Connie, with her door tightly shut, did not know that Mike had gone out tonight and experienced such a dangerous event.
Mike, for his part, did not disturb her. He fumbled his way back to his room in the dark, then pulled back the curtains.
Sure enough, as long as moonlight shone in, Mike could enjoy the benefits brought by the Moonlight characteristic.
Before falling asleep, he specifically checked his physique, which was now one hundred and sixty-two.
...
The next morning, as the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, Mike opened his eyes.
At the same time, he checked his physique attribute again, and it had actually reached one hundred and sixty-five.
In just one night, the Moonlight characteristic had increased his physique by three points.
This discovery filled Mike with joy.
If this continued, Mike could become a small superhuman in less than a year.
However, Mike also realized that perhaps his initial physique attribute was low, which led to such a significant increase in the early stages. Later, once his physique attribute grew to a certain extent, perhaps the physique increase brought by the Moonlight characteristic would not be so obvious.
This was something Mike needed to explore slowly in the future.
In the dining room, Connie had already prepared a hearty breakfast.
Today was the day the Medford High football team advanced to the third round, which was a big event for the local Medford Town.
Previously, Medford High had never achieved such good results, usually being eliminated in the first or second round.
So, to support the football team in continuing to achieve good results, Connie would definitely go to the game to cheer them on today.
Sure enough, after breakfast, Connie walked out of the house with Mike.
At this time, George, who lived across the street, also happened to come out with Georgie and Sheldon.
Georgie looked very energetic today, walking with a swagger. As the team's wide receiver, with the team achieving such good results, he felt that his family status had improved.
After exchanging greetings, Mike, for once, rode in Connie's car to the school.
As the game approached, many people had already gathered on the school playground. Among them were not only students from various grades of the school but also many local residents.
A rough estimate would be over two thousand people. It was likely that the number of spectators would only increase when the official game began.
In the crowd, Mike also saw Jack, the local TV reporter, waving to him.
Behind him stood an intern reporter holding a huge banner poster.
Jack, at this point, had also caught the "east wind" of Mike, and his standing at the local TV station had clearly improved.
Now, he even had a small follower.
Because of their business cooperation (selling photos), Mike also smiled and waved back at Jack.
With Mike's excellent performance in the previous two games and his appearance on the local sports channel, he was now somewhat of a minor celebrity in the town.
It was foreseeable that as long as the team continued its winning streak in the upcoming third-round game, Mike's fame would grow even larger, and his photo-selling business with Jack would only become more prosperous.
Perhaps in the future, people who wanted to buy Mike's photos would no longer be limited to just female students at the school.
Imagining a bright future, Mike walked towards the locker room, accompanied by Georgie.
They hadn't walked far when they saw Big Wave Karen in the corner, vigorously waving and calling out to them.
Seeing this, Georgie, after a second of envy, wisely walked to the locker room by himself.
"Is something wrong, Karen?" Mike walked to the corner and asked.
Karen, in her cheerleading skirt, was as beautiful as ever. She first looked around and then quickly said, "Mike, for today's game, Regina has instructed everyone in the cheerleading squad not to cheer for you. You need to be prepared."
On the sports field, many athletes are atmosphere-dependent players. Having beautiful girls cheering them on often makes them burst forth with stronger combat power.
Regina had seized on this point to retaliate against Mike.
It must be said that the Queen Bee did have some small tricks, but not many.
Mike's mental age was not that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child; he was completely indifferent to this level of targeting.
"Thank you for letting me know," Mike said with a smile to the girl who came to inform him.
"Go, Mike—" Karen made a cheering gesture with a clenched fist: "No matter what, I will support you."
As the girl spoke, her eyes gradually became firm.
At the same time, in her heart, her dissatisfaction with the Queen Bee gradually outweighed her apprehension.
After chatting with Karen for a few more moments, Mike walked towards the football locker room again.
Unexpectedly, when he reached the locker room corridor, he ran into Cady at the corner.
At this moment, Cady was also wearing a cheerleading uniform, with exquisite makeup on her face.
Compared to a few weeks ago, she had greatly improved in both her appearance and her demeanor.
Upon seeing Mike, Cady's eyes lit up, and she said, "Mike, you need to be careful, Regina she…"
Before the girl could finish, Mike added, "Did she tell you guys not to cheer for me?"
"How did you know?" Cady looked a bit surprised.
Mike smiled and didn't offer much explanation, instead saying, "I already know about this, but thank you anyway."
Hearing Mike's thanks, Cady felt a little flutter of joy inside. Then, she said, "Don't worry, Mike, I'll always be on your side."
"Also, many people in the cheerleading squad don't understand Regina's request this time."
Clearly, the Queen Bee's actions this time were a bad move, putting herself on the opposite side of the girls.
Judging from Karen and Cady's reactions, Regina's prestige within the cheerleading squad was already not great.
After bidding farewell to Cady, Mike stepped through the locker room door.
The players in the room all seemed very eager when they saw Mike enter, with people actively clearing a path for him all the way.
It could only be said that Mike had won over his teammates with his excellent performance in the first two games.
Now, he had vaguely become the leader of the locker room.
