Chapter 215

~5 min read 967 words

Sandman is really unlucky...

Ye Li could be considered to have picked up a bargain.

"You..."

The girl who was being robbed looked at Ye Li, her eyes surprised, looking as if she had been frightened...

Ye Li smiled awkwardly and explained to her, "I said this was an accident... do you believe me?"

He didn't react in time and was misled by the system... who knew William would be such a weakling now.

However, what Ye Li didn't expect was—

The girl suddenly shouted at him in surprise, "Ye Li! ——Superhero!"

【What the heck??】

Ye Li was confused again...

Cindy poked his waist lightly and asked curiously, "Did you secretly go to be a superhero too? What's your title, Electric Spider?"

【I want to know too...】

Ye Li composed himself and asked the girl, who was suspected to be a fan, calmly, "What do you mean by superhero? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"I didn't recognize the wrong person."

The girl opened her phone to search, then handed it to Ye Li to look, "Look~ You are ranked 37th on the superhero leaderboard, above Luke Cage."

This fan listed his deeds like she knew them by heart: "Your deeds include 'crashing into Lizardman to save a little girl,' 'fighting alongside Ghost-Spider and other superheroes during the Hero's Night,' 'working with Iron Man to defeat Whiplash in Monaco,' and you're handsome... etc., and you are hailed as the coolest mortal hero."

Ye Li: "......" 【What the heck is 'handsome'? You looks-obsessed people really just care about faces...】

【Sigh~ I've been so low-key, how did I still stand out...】

Ye Li looked at some of the codenames displayed on the screen, feeling a mix of emotions...

They were all taken by bored netizens—

Things like 'The Driver,' 'Racer,' 'Pilot'... were all normal, but what kind of weird title is 'Old Driver'?

... In the end, the female fan was persuaded away by Ye Li; as for how to deal with the Sandman who had fainted, he had to check what the reward was first.

【You defeated Gwen Stacy's destiny enemy; as her 'connection,' you can choose one of the following rewards:】

【1. Monetary reward: One million USD】

【2. Random reward: Deadpool's My Little Pony】

【3. Servant reward: Convert William Baker, gain an absolutely loyal subordinate】

Sure enough, luck is conserved.

This random reward wasn't that good, or rather... it was completely useless.

Therefore.

After Vinica carried Ye Li and Cindy away.

William Baker, who was bleeding non-stop, soon disappeared into thin air...

Summoned creature, +1.

As long as it's converted into a summoned creature by the system, it can gain the normal extraordinary powers from the original destiny trajectory, so Ye Li didn't have to worry about converting a piece of trash.

The next day.

Vroom—en—en——en———

A combat transport plane streaked across the sky above the sea, made a turn, and landed on an aircraft carrier.

Coulson got off the plane with his idol and saw Natasha happening to be nearby, staring blankly at the sea.

He introduced Captain America and Black Widow to each other, "Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers."

Steve nodded slightly, "Hello."

Natasha looked like she had something on her mind; she paused before replying, "Hello."

"Uh... alright, Romanoff doesn't seem to be available; let's talk later."

Seeing Natasha seemed to be thinking about something.

Coulson tactfully took Captain America to meet Dr. Banner on the other side.

While walking.

He chatted with Steve, explaining for Natasha, "She's an excellent agent, but she received a tricky mission yesterday, so she's been absent-minded since she got back."

"I understand; she doesn't seem to be in her best state."

Steve: "I've read part of Agent Romanoff's file; her mission record is very impressive. I wonder what could make it difficult for even her to resolve?"

"A special gentleman."

Coulson smiled and took out a tablet display, playing a video for Steve, "Captain has met him, on the day you ran out of the base."

In the video—

The handsome man with a free-spirited temperament was leaning against a cafe, and opposite him was the dark-skinned Director Egghead.

"It's him?"

Steve recognized Ye Li and asked curiously, "At the time, listening to Fury, the Avengers Initiative would also be sent to this gentleman; will he also participate in the plan? Why didn't I see his file in the plan?"

"No... although President Ye is very talented and an interesting person, he doesn't have any powerful extraordinary abilities; he only knows a few small tricks."

Coulson explained, "What was sent to the Ghost-Spider Club was a redacted version; if we hope to seek cooperation with them, we have to show sincerity first."

763 Steve: "Ghost-Spider Club?"

"An emerging superhero organization, similar to our Avengers, but they are already very famous.

The club's superheroes are four people—'Ghost-Spider,' 'Black Cat,' 'Knight,' and 'Silk'; they are a few impressive young people."

In Coulson's tone, there was an unconscious recognition of young people: "Heh heh, Captain, you might not believe it, but 'Knight' Jessica Ye is the club's honorary president and also Mr. Ye's younger sister, while 'Silk' Cindy is her classmate, and their age... they are just about to graduate high school."

Steve said with gratification, "It sounds truly surprising; they are all excellent children. So, is Fury planning to recruit them through Mr. Ye?"

"You guessed right, Captain."

Coulson: "But you also saw it; Natasha's mission didn't go smoothly."

"I think..."

"If it were me."

"I wouldn't let them go to the battlefield either; no matter how excellent those children are, they are still young after all."

Steve, however, expressed approval of Ye Li's approach, "Let us older generations handle the tricky enemies; Fury's approach lacks consideration."

Coulson nodded, "Director Fury is also considering the big picture; after all, this crisis is unusual..."
