America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

"Lyon must be very good at math, and he's just as good at table tennis as he is at math."

Several middle-aged men offered similar words of comfort, trying to salvage the reputation of Liqun's winning streak.

Liqun wiped the sweat from his head with a tissue.

After arm wrestling with Steve, Li Qun had a vague understanding of his own physical capabilities.

The effort values ​​displayed on the attribute panel allowed him to clearly see that he was constantly approaching the limits of human function. However, Li Qun knew that he was still a human body, and the body's operating mechanism was always based on that of an Earthling, and he could not violate the basic operating mode of the human body.

You will still sweat as usual, the energy source stored in muscles is still adenosine triphosphate, and exercise can still be divided into anaerobic exercise and aerobic exercise.

“I want to go home,” Li Qun said to John.

"I'll drive you there."

"Dad, I want to take Brother Lyon home too!" Little Jonathan ran up to Li Qun's legs and shouted.

"You're just craving the Aurora dishes from your brother Lyon's house, aren't you!" John laughed.

"Let's go! Let's go get some Ipomoea purpurea!"

The Yellow Crane Tower Chinese Restaurant is only five or six kilometers away from Old Frank's house, and it only takes about ten minutes to drive there and back.

After John got out of his car, there was no longer a line outside the Chinese restaurant, but the restaurant was still full of people eating inside.

"Liqun, you're back! Did you have fun at the party?"

The restaurant waiter, who had been observed in the mirror dimension, greeted Li Qun.

"I'm back. I was dragged to play ping-pong all night." Li Qun had no idea of ​​the other person's name; his memory wasn't in sync with the altered history.

"Jimmy!"

"I am coming!!"

Jimmy strode into the kitchen; Uncle Liqun was calling him.

John carried his son Jonathan to the counter and ordered takeout from his aunt, Chen Jiao.

"I'll have three servings of chicken stew," John ordered.

"We've run out of shrimp, so we don't have this dish anymore," my aunt replied.

"Chicken Jumping?" Li Qun heard the name of the dish from the side. He didn't know what it was, so he became curious and looked at the picture on the menu.

"Chicken with Shrimp" is actually chicken stir-fried with shrimp. The "Chicken with Shrimp" in the menu photo is coated with a layer of glistening sauce, which is in the same style as the sweet and sour chicken dishes that foreigners like.

This is a dish passed down from my maternal grandfather, Huang Yun.

"Auntie, let me look at the menu."

Plum-flavored spare ribs, braised tofu with shrimp heads, beef ribs with kumquats, grilled fish with soy sauce and wine, shrimp chips in ice water... The menu has doubled the number of dishes compared to before.

Chapter 45 Guardians of Earth

Back in his room, Li Qun sat down at his computer desk and, as usual, browsed the day's news on various websites and lurked in various forums after turning on the computer.

Li Qun felt a void in his heart, as if he had lost something.

The feeling of losing things started after I met Dr. Bruce Banner.

"My phone!!"

Li Qun remembered that his cell phone was still with Bruce Banner.

Dr. Banner stole his phone, and he was so shocked by discovering Dr. Banner's identity that he forgot to ask for it back.

"Dr. Banner will probably return the phone, right?"

Li Qun guessed that Bruce Banner must have forgotten about it as well.

"Let's make a call."

Li Qun walked out of the bedroom and saw a "black bear" in the living room, deep in thought about his homework at the dining table.

"Cousin, please help me with my homework!"

My cousin Shuangxi has also changed; he's grown into a fat man.

Unexpectedly, my grandfather passed on his cooking skills to my uncle, and my uncle fattened up my aunt and cousin.

"let me see……"

My cousin Shuangxi attends a regular public middle school. The curriculum isn't as demanding as Zhongcheng Science and Technology High School. Compared to other schools in China, the curriculum is equivalent to elementary to junior high school level.

The homework that troubled Shuangxi was math. Liqun glanced at it and saw that it was a fraction calculation problem.

"let me see."

Li Qun sat down at the dining table.

You can call your own phone anytime, but your cousin's request for help has a time limit; it won't be answered after that.

"Shuangxi, now let's put aside English thinking and think about these questions using Chinese thinking."

"Good cousin."

"Let's speak Chinese."

"This is the numerator, and this is the denominator..."

Liqun took Shuangxi's math textbook and taught Shuangxi the fraction section again.

Shuangxi finished reading the Four Great Classical Novels during the summer vacation and has reached the level of a fourth-grade student at Zhendan Primary School. Among listening, speaking, reading and writing, writing is the only part that is difficult for Shuangxi, which makes Liqun very happy.

Sure enough, after Shuangxi was taught math in Chinese, he quickly grasped the concepts. Liqun spent an hour and a half tutoring Shuangxi in math every evening, and Shuangxi was very enthusiastic about learning math through Chinese.

"It would be great if all the textbooks were explained in Chinese," Shuangxi said.

“That’s absolutely right.” Li Qun nodded in agreement.

Li Qun is teaching himself computer science, and he feels like he is learning an extra foreign language as he does so.

After tutoring Shuangxi on her math homework, Liqun sat down on the sofa and used the landline to call his cell phone.

"……beep……"

"……Hey?"

The call connected, but was immediately disconnected.

Liqun made several more calls, but no one answered.

Li Qun frowned. Would Dr. Bruce Banner become a robber?

Where is the New York Holy See located?

he does not know.

However, he vaguely remembered the architectural features of the New York Holy See. There was a particularly large skylight on the top floor of the New York Holy See, and the pattern on the skylight was very distinctive. He could recognize it as soon as he saw it.

Li Qun returned to his bedroom.

Just as he was about to lie down and rest for a while, a hand pushed open the louvered wardrobe door and reached out from inside.

Li Qun quickly opened the wardrobe, and a portal appeared inside, with Bruce Banner on the other side.

"Your phone."

“Sorry, I forgot,” Bruce Banner said to Li Qun from inside the closet.

"Thank you."

"I almost couldn't sleep tonight," Li Qun said.

"You haven't forgotten anything, have you?" Bruce Banner looked at Li Qun.

"Forgot what?" Li Qun asked, puzzled.

“You… are a little special.” Now it was Bruce Banner’s turn to frown.

"I need to check it out."

"Check what?" Li Qun was still wondering when Dr. Bruce Banner pulled him into the portal in the closet, taking him from the bedroom to the Sanctum Sanctorum.

Dr. Banner closed the portal and led Li Qun to the spacious meditation room on the third floor. Moonlight reflected the Vishanti runes on the skylight onto the floor of the meditation room.

“Stand under the moonlight,” Bruce Banner said to Li Qun.

"Is this it?"

Li Qun stood within the Moonlight Vishandi rune pattern.

“Don’t move, child.” Dr. Banner’s green eyes gleamed.

The mage Bruce Banner waved his hands, his hand gestures changing as he cast spells at Li Qun, green energy runes floating around Li Qun's body.

"A link to another dimensional world..."

Bruce Banner saw a band of light on Li Qun that pierced through their universe.

Li Qun also saw it; a band of light extended from the top of his head into a chaotic void.

“That’s the reason.” Bruce Banner nodded.

"What did you do?" Li Qun asked.

"The Karaka spell has no effect on you, and the reason your memories have remained unchanged since the historical changes is because another world has anchored you here."

After hearing Bruce Banner's explanation, Li Qun understood.

The other world was the demon world he traveled to using the Golden Cudgel.

"what is this?"

Bruce Banner pointed to Li Qun's ear, on which hung a thin, needle-like Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff).

“According to Dr. Banner, it is an anchor,” Li Qun replied.

"Not from our world?"

"Do you know this thing comes from another world?" Bruce Banner asked Li Qun.

"This is dangerous, child, do you know that?"

"Our world has always been coveted by other dimensions, and dimensional demons have been spying on Earth through various means."
