America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

"Bang!!"

"7.88 seconds."

Banner recorded Li Qun's last two 100-meter sprint times and glanced at Li Qun.

"Why is it getting faster and faster with each test?"

"Perhaps, my body has gradually adapted to the explosive 100-meter sprint," Li Qun replied, panting.

However, Bruce Banner didn't care. When he tested Hulk's wrist strength, Hulk's strength data was higher and higher each time, and it was difficult to stabilize within a certain range.

"Let's test your strength."

How do we test it?

"weightlifting."

"This is 150kg. Do you know the snatch technique?"

Li Qun had never lifted weights before, so Banner taught Li Qun the movements, postures, and key points of weightlifting on the spot.

“Don’t push yourself too hard, let’s try different weights slowly,” Bruce Banner said.

Li Qun is currently 184cm tall and weighs around 85kg. He is now going to try to lift 150kg.

Liqun raised it, the whole movement was smooth and fluid.

"So easy?"

I underestimated you a bit.

"Let's try going outside."

"Outside of school? What are you trying?"

Bruce Banner had Li Qun try to lift a small car weighing about one ton.

The car's shape made it difficult to exert force, so Liqun lifted one corner of the car and put it down after about half a minute.

"Liqun, you can try demolishing your school."

"Demolish schools?"

Do you need Hulk to demonstrate for you?

Li Qun raised his fist and punched the outer wall of the school building with force.

"My hand hurts so much!"

The school walls in the dimensional space were cracked by Li Qun, but not penetrated.

"Try changing the wall."

Li Qun obediently changed to another wall, and his fist pierced through the wall.

Most of the school walls were brick, and Li Qun broke through them, but the first wall he chose was a concrete wall.

"That's about it." Dr. Banner put away his pen, and Wang opened the portal to go home.

"Aren't there also endurance tests, neurological reaction tests, and agility tests?" Li Qun asked.

"I feel that the remaining tests do more harm than good, so I won't take them."

"The endurance test will make you run a marathon until you can't run anymore."

"Neural reaction speed is like shooting at you with a gun, only the bullets are replaced with safe bullets, while agility tests..."

“You already demonstrated considerable agility when you sparred with Hulk in the desert last time,” Bruce Banner said seriously.

"Ok."

“Dr. Banner, could you give a summary of my physical condition?” Li Qun asked.

"It's above the limits of human capability, but not too far from the ultimate ability," Bruce Banner said, gesturing with his hands.

"How does it compare to the Hulk?"

"Hulk is dozens, even hundreds of times bigger than you in every aspect."

"Can I understand it this way?"

“Using Starbucks coffee as an analogy, I’m a medium, and Hulk is a venti,” Li Qun said.

“A very apt metaphor, indeed.” Bruce Banner nodded thoughtfully.

"So, Dr. Banner, what cup do you usually belong to?"

"My body is, of course, a small cup."

“With magical abilities included, I think it’s the large cup,” Li Qun said.

"If I add the power of the Ruyi Jingu Bang to my own abilities, I'd be considered a big cup."

“I don’t think you’re talking about physical fitness,” Banner said.

Banner and Li Qun walked out of the portal and returned directly to Old Man's pawn shop.

"How's the testing going?"

The old man was very concerned about Li Qun's performance.

"It's surprising. But we still need to be careful when encountering armed bad guys. We don't know if Li Qun has obtained the immortality ability of the Monkey King."

Banner's answer was vague and humble.

Bruce Banner wanted to say something to put down Li Qun, but after thinking about it, he gave up. He hadn't fully evolved the educational mindset of a parent from Aurora University.

"The temperature may drop significantly the day after tomorrow."

The old man glanced at the people on the street outside. The sudden warm weather had caused many people to change out of their thick winter clothes.

"What did they say on TV? The La Niña phenomenon, right?" Dad said.

"Cold air activity is frequent and of moderate intensity in North America, with precipitation only slightly higher than in previous years, which is still in line with the climate pattern of previous years."

Dad didn't understand Banner's explanation at all.

……

Three days later, on Thursday, a cold front suddenly arrived, and freezing rain swept across New York City.

The Brooklyn Bridge was closed, two subway lines were suspended, schools across the city were closed for two days, vegetable prices in New York City rose by 10%, and airport flights were delayed by 60%...

Li Qun was in the middle of a class when he was suddenly notified that he was on holiday.

Students left the school in groups and walked home.

Li Qun, Peter, and Mary Jane walked side by side, seeing many sanitation workers racing against time to clear the ice from the road.

Seeing these workers, Li Qun and Peter were reminded of Steve, who was also working on de-icing the Brooklyn Bridge at that very moment.

There was a severe traffic jam on the road.

“I hope spring comes soon,” Mary Jane prayed.

“I hope so too,” Peter said.

“I hope autumn comes soon,” Li Qun said.

"Why?" Mary Jane asked.

“Peter, we can take our driver’s test during the spring break at the end of March. You haven’t forgotten how to drive, have you?” Li Qun did not answer Mary Jane.

“Of course I haven’t forgotten,” Peter replied.

"Once the weather gets better, we'll practice driving as much as we can and try to pass on the first try," Li Qun said.

Chapter 118 It's freezing cold

"Shall we walk faster? My legs are so cold I can barely feel them."

Peter was about to chat with Mary Jane about how he and Li Qun drive when he turned around and saw Mary Jane's frozen expression. He immediately forgot about the topic of driving.

Li Qun also looked down and examined the pants Mary Jane was wearing.

Mary Jane was wearing a thick down jacket on top, but on her bottom she was wearing a thin pair of trousers, like those worn in spring or summer.

“Peter, don’t you and Li Qun feel cold?” Mary Jane looked Li Qun and Peter up and down.

"I'm wearing two pairs of pants."

Li Qun lifted his foot and showed Mary Jane the thermal underwear under his jeans.

“Peter too,” Li Qun said.

"Stacy is wearing the same pants as you?" Mary Jane asked, her eyes wide.

“I bought them in a shop in Chinatown; they’re called thermal pants,” Li Qun replied.

"Take me to buy two before we go home."

Li Qun listened to Mary Jane's words as if she were asking him to, and naturally agreed.

"$20," the small supermarket owner quoted.

"$9, we want six, or else not."

Li Qun was haggling with the supermarket owner. Mary Jane and Peter couldn't understand what the two were saying, but they felt that Li Qun was so aggressive that he had intimidated the supermarket owner.

The small supermarket owner frowned as he mentally calculated the accounts, without immediately answering Li Qun.

Li Qun pretended to walk out of the store, pulling Peter and Mary Jane away.

"Here you go, here you go!!"

Mary Jane bought thermal pants for the whole family, but she wasn't very confident about the size.

"Can I bring it back to exchange if the size doesn't fit?" Li Qun guessed what Mary Jane was thinking and immediately asked the boss again.

"Change it, change it, I'll change it for you."

"Boss, I wish you a prosperous business."

"I really got you."

Mary Jane, still shaken, walked out of the small supermarket in Chinatown with Peter and Li Qun, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
