American comic book red Superman

When Green Snake heard that the aunt who had taken care of her for so many days was leaving, her eyes were full of anticipation as she asked.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoqing, you're not in the right condition to go out right now."

Huang Luqin shook her head and said.

"Actually, you're afraid I'll hurt other people, right?"

The green snake was very clever, and said in a low voice.

"No, you're human too. I'm just worried that you won't be able to adapt to the world. But don't worry, the uncles and aunties outside will help you."

As Huang Luqin spoke, she pointed to the staff of the Self-Improvement Department outside, who waved politely. Then she continued, "You can come find me when you've settled in."

"Will I come to you in a flying tin box?"

Green Snake asked, also becoming interested. She found it very novel; it was completely impossible in ancient times for a person to fly with the help of that iron box.

"Yes, that's called an airplane, it's a mode of transportation."

As Huang Luqin was speaking, her phone rang. It was a text message from Luo's father reminding her that the plane was about to arrive and she needed to hurry to the airport.

She put away her phone, took out a red bag embroidered with the character "福" (fortune) from her pocket, filled with glutinous rice, and stuffed it into the green snake's hand. "Here, take this. This will ensure your good fortune. When the opportunity comes, Auntie will take you to ride an airplane. Bye-bye."

After saying that, she stood up and waved goodbye. After seeing the Green Snake put away the lucky bag, she also waved goodbye before turning around and leaving the room.

The people outside also closed the door.

However, no one noticed the green light flashing in the snake's eyes, and the wicked smile that appeared on its lips, "Why can't we go take a plane now?"

As she spoke, her body gradually faded and eventually became transparent. Then, the door seemed to be bumped by something, and a figure seemed to pass through the iron gate, which made the guards on duty outside shiver. However, the corridor remained empty, with nothing in sight, except that the motion-sensor light at the end of the corridor inexplicably lit up.

[PS: Thank you Lanling Wang Gao Changgong and Zha Xin Ya Lao Tie for the monthly tickets! Thank you both for your support!]

Some people say I'm just repackaging a traditional light novel, and I know that in my heart. This book is very light novel, and I didn't want to write anything too light novel (I originally planned to write a period drama set in America). But it's easy for newcomers to achieve success writing light novels, which can allow me to make a living for a short time.

After all, this is how I make a living.

However, I will try my best to improve on the problems and shortcomings you mentioned.

There are also some plot ideas mentioned in the comments section, such as the protagonist building a country on Mars. These are good ideas, but they need to be developed and cannot be written all at once.

Finally, thank you all for your support recently, thank you!

Chapter 26: The Future Holds Endless Uncertainties

At noon, Luo Wei learned that his parents had returned from Kyoto. They would arrive in Green Vine City at 7 p.m. and take a car to the community around 8 p.m. They asked him to cook dinner first so they could eat together. Luo Wei naturally respected his parents, who had adopted him. He specially bought groceries and, unusually, did not go to the city to wander around and catch people. He planned to give his parents a welcome dinner.

As for cooking, Luo Wei hadn't received any formal training, but with the help of his super brain, he could basically learn by simply glancing at a recipe once. He could easily whip up a table of delicious and visually appealing dishes. In addition, he had spent most of his time alone at home over the years, and when he was bored, he would cook for himself. He had basically made all the famous Chinese dishes, with almost no repetition. This was mainly because China had a very rich heritage in "eating." While the thickness of its recipes might not be the greatest in the world, it was definitely much thicker than the combined thickness of British recipes and Korean history books.

[Mom]: Cook more rice, there's another guest coming later.

"have a guest?"

Luo Wei glanced at the message on his phone and casually added an extra cup of rice to the pot, thinking that his parents' colleagues were probably coming over for a visit. In the past, his father would often invite his colleagues over for a meal after returning from business trips, and he was used to it.

When his parents arrived home around 8 o'clock, Luo Wei was stunned when he went to open the door to greet them. Standing outside was a girl in a light blue long gown. She had fair skin, a pretty face, delicate features, a high nose bridge that exuded a heroic air, and bright eyes that were as intelligent as stars. She gave people a sense of innocence and naivety.

"Dad, Mom, who is she?"

If Luo Wei hadn't seen his father and Huang Luqin behind the girl, he would have almost thought that a new neighbor had come next door.

"She's the daughter of a distant relative; by seniority, she's your cousin."

Mr. Luo paused for a moment, then coughed lightly to remind her, "Qingli, call him cousin."

"Hello, cousin. My name is Qingli. I'm new here, so please take care of me!"

As Green Snake spoke, she placed her hands in front of her and bowed slightly in a gesture of respect. Before she could lower her head, Huang Luqin grabbed her from behind.

Huang Luqin said, "Qingli, there's no need for such formalities here."

"Oh, I forgot."

Green Snake slapped his forehead, then realized that people in this era were used to waving when they met, without needing to bow. Moreover, some acquaintances wouldn't even wave, often pretending not to know each other. He couldn't understand it.

"Dad, when did I get a cousin?"

Luo Wei stared in bewilderment at his strangely behaving cousin. His memories of relatives weren't particularly vivid, mainly because his parents were too busy with work and only had time to return to their hometown occasionally to visit his grandparents, uncles, aunts, and a few relatives on his maternal grandparents' side. He didn't remember a cousin. Perhaps this distant relative wasn't very close; otherwise, he wouldn't have forgotten her.

“A distant relative, an uncle you don’t know very well, has been busy lately, so he’s left his daughter with us. Your dad is starving, let’s go in and eat and chat.”

Mr. Luo quickly pulled him into the house, and the aroma wafting from the dining table made his stomach rumble.

The four took their seats. Luo Wei and Qing She, as the younger generation, sat together, while Luo's wife and husband sat opposite each other.

Then, Luo Wei lifted the cover on the table, revealing a table full of dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat, all emitting a fragrant aroma.

"He truly is my precious son, Huang Luqin's son."

Huang Luqin picked up a piece of fish, tasted it, and praised it.

"You've just gotten back from a business trip, so eat more."

As Luo Wei was about to pick up his chopsticks, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the girl beside him was a little excited.

So many succulents!

The green snake swept over the table full of delicacies, finally placing them on several plates filled with chicken and duck meat. Its pink tongue habitually licked its lips, and its pair of small, white, sharp tiger teeth ground together.

"Yes, there's rabbit stewing in the kitchen."

Seeing the girl's unusual canine teeth, Luo Wei raised an eyebrow and slowly said.

"There's rabbit meat too!?"

Upon hearing that her favorite prey was mentioned, the green snake swallowed hard, a reaction that actually made Luo Wei choke. Realizing she had been a bit rude, she quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I prefer rabbit meat. I used to catch rabbits to eat all the time when I was in the mountains."

"Catch wild rabbits?"

Luo Wei couldn't help but take a second look at her. Her skin was fair and rosy, and her fingers were as white as scallion roots. She didn't look like a child living in the mountains at all.

"Yes, snakes eat them."

The green snake was speaking.

Huang Luqin, who was standing next to her, quickly interrupted, piling a bunch of meat onto the girl's plate until it was full. "Qingli means that her family often catches rabbits. Here, eat more if you like."

Dididi

Just then, Mr. Luo's phone rang, showing that Director Zhang was calling. The couple exchanged a glance, told their two children to eat first, and then got up to go to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Well, that's roughly how it happened. She clung to the top of the plane the whole time, flying with us across most of China. I can't be sure how she did it, but it's definitely related to the energy within her."

On the balcony, Luo's father was on the phone with Director Zhang in Kyoto. His expression was grave as he asked, "Director Zhang, do you need me to send her back?"

After listening to what Director Zhang said for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll do as you say."

"What did Director Zhang say?"

Huang Luqin asked from the side, while glancing at the girl eating with her son, who looked like a giant python that had already devoured half the dishes on the table.

"He told us to leave Qingli here for now and not to provoke her. Director Zhang has already reported it, and someone will come to take her back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Luo shook his head and said...

"Are you really going to let her come with us?"

Huang Luqin was surprised.

"Well, it seems Director Zhang means we shouldn't provoke her. We should just go along with her current demands and use this as a good opportunity to test whether Qingli poses any threat to society."

Mr. Luo briefly recounted what he had just heard on the phone.

"also."

Huang Luqin nodded.

"But if the Research Bureau and the higher-ups can't contain Qingli, how can we possibly keep an eye on her?"

Mr. Luo said with some worry, "Wife, she clung to the plane and flew with us across most of China without any problems."

As he spoke, he glanced at the energetic, sunny girl on the chair. No one could possibly associate her with the fare evader who could hop on an airplane.

“She meant us no harm. Besides, after spending this time with her, I think she’s no different from any other kid. She’s just a teenager like Wei.”

Huang Luqin, on the other hand

worry.

The psychological test results showed that Qing She was only fifteen or sixteen years old and had an innocent personality. It was this psychological test result that made Director Zhang think of bringing her into the Self-Strengthening Department.

Compared to Superman, who recently became popular in Green Vine City, Green Snake, who is naive and simple-minded, is a perfect person to win over. Moreover, she is young and can be cultivated from a young age.

Seeing that Luo's father was still frowning, she continued, "There's nothing we can do now. Even if you don't want to take her in, you'll have to wait until the people from the Self-Strengthening Department arrive."

In the end, Luo's father had no choice but to agree, since the Green Snake would be coming to Green Vine City. However, no one could have imagined that this seemingly frail girl could escape from the research bureau so quietly, without even being detected by the equipment. She even clung to the plane for over four hours just to stay in Green Vine City—that's incredible perseverance!

Mr. Luo returned to the dining table, ate a few bites, and his wife nudged him. He put down his chopsticks, looked up at Luo Wei across the table, and said, "Xiao Wei, are you full? Come with me, I have something to tell you."

"Ah."

Luo Wei wasn't hungry to begin with, and after seeing the blue civet next to him devouring large chunks of meat and its mouth greasy, he lost his appetite even more. He decisively got up and went to the balcony with his father.

“Your cousin comes from the mountains and may stay with us for a few days. She might act a little strangely, so please bear with her.”

On the balcony, Luo's father patiently fabricated the identity of the Green Snake, not wanting his work to affect his son.

"I actually have an uncle who lives in the mountains?"

Luo Wei glanced at the green snake. The girl had finally finished her meal and was curiously looking around. She seemed to be amazed by everything around her. Noticing that someone was watching her, she didn't forget to return a simple and innocent smile.

"Well, if you feel uncomfortable having a stranger in the house, you can stay at a hotel for a few days tomorrow and come back after she leaves."

Luo's father was reluctant to let his son come into contact with people with superpowers or strange species.

"It's alright, guests are guests, it would be too impolite for me to go out."

Luo Wei waved his hand and asked again, "Dad, is she really from the mountains?"

He asked casually, but he already had the answer in his heart. He had clearly heard his parents' conversation; his super hearing was too strong, and he overheard it unintentionally. He learned that this so-called cousin was probably an important person in his parents' workplace, or perhaps a superhuman? They even mentioned the Self-Improvement Department. Was this girl a superhuman from the Self-Improvement Department?

Clinging to the top of an airplane with bare hands and flying across most of China is indeed something only a superhuman could do. But those small, white hands with delicately shaped fingers don't seem capable of holding onto the plane at all. The image of a skinny girl clinging to an airplane is too jarring; no, the image of her devouring meat is even more jarring.

"Since that's the case, hurry up and tidy up the guest room so that Qingli can sleep there later."

Mr. Luo stretched and yawned. He didn't insist that his son didn't want to move out. After traveling all day, he was exhausted and sleepy.
