Chapter 90: Picking up the Sandman! Can this even be considered a superhero?

~6 min read 1,027 words

[You defeated Gwen Stacy's destiny enemy, as her...]

The system's voice made Ye Li certain that Vinika hadn't hit the wrong person.

Then there was only one possibility for this Sandman to be lying on the ground vomiting blood—

William Baker, like Electro, had been hit by him before he gained his superpowers.

Uh.

This time it was a "hit" in the physical sense...

The Sandman was truly unlucky...

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

"You..."

The robbed girl looked at Ye Li, her eyes full of surprise, 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 hadn't reacted in time and had been misled by the system... who knew William was such a weakling now.

However, what Ye Li didn't expect was—

The girl suddenly called out to 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 see, "Look~ You are ranked 37th on the superhero leaderboard, above Luke Cage."

This fan said as if counting her family treasures: "Your deeds include 'crashing into the Lizardman to save a little girl', 'fighting alongside superheroes like Ghost Spider during the Hero's Night', 'working with Iron Man to defeat Whiplash in Monaco', and you're handsome... etc. You are hailed as the coolest mortal hero."

Ye Li: "..." [What the hell is 'being handsome'? You superficial people really only care about looks...]

[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 this '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. Money reward: 1 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 Vinika carried Ye Li and Cindy away.

William Baker, who was bleeding profusely, soon disappeared into thin air...

Summoned creature, +1.

As long as he was converted into a summoned creature by the system, he could gain the normal extraordinary power from his 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 flew over the sea, made a turn, and landed on a mothership.

Coulson brought his idol off the plane and saw Seeing Seeing Natasha staring blankly at the sea nearby.

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

Steve nodded slightly, "Hello."

Seeing Seeing Natasha looked like she had something on her mind, pausing before replying, "Hello."

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

Seeing Seeing Seeing Natasha seemed to be thinking about something.

Coulson then high-emotionally took Captain America to meet Dr. Banner on the other side.

While walking.

He chatted with Steve, explaining for Seeing Seeing Natasha, "She is 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 the right state."

Steve: "I've read some of Agent Romanoff's files, her mission record is very striking. I wonder what could make even her unable to solve it?"

"A special gentleman."

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

In the video—

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

"Is it 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 profile in the plan?"

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

Coulson explained, "The version sent to the Ghost Spider Club was a redacted one. We hope to seek cooperation with them, so we have to show sincerity first."

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

"The club has four superheroes—'Ghost Spider', 'Black Cat', 'Knight', and 'Silk'. They are a few powerful young people."

In Coulson's tone, there was an unconscious identification with young people: "Hehe, Captain, you might not believe it, 'Knight' Jessica Ye is the honorary president of the club and also Mr. Ye's younger sister. 'Silk' Cindy is her classmate, and their age... they have just graduated from high school."

Steve said with relief, "It sounds surprising indeed. They are all excellent children. So Fury intends to recruit them through Mr. Ye?"

"You guessed right, Captain."

Coulson: "But you also saw, Seeing Seeing 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 expressed his agreement with Ye Li's approach, "Let us older generations deal with the tricky enemies. Fury's approach lacks consideration."

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