Chapter 587: Fantastic Four? Sounds like a group! (Second update, please subscribe!)
Next day, morning.
Drizzling rain.
On the roofs and streets, a layer of white mist splashed up, like a misty white veil.
Suddenly, a fierce wind blew, and the white veil dissipated in wisps. Raindrops fell into the puddles on the ground, stirring up flowers of water.
Today was the first time Susan had been absent from work since the company was founded. Her "golden body" of being hardworking and uncomplaining was broken, and another "golden body" was broken along with it—this one couldn't be written about casually.
It can only be said that this day came much later than Susan expected, but as the saying goes, good food is worth the wait. Even though it was drizzling outside, her mood was still sunny.
When the two people sealed in the room came out to wash up, it was almost noon. Susan called her assistant to arrange company matters, and when she turned her head, she found the dining table filled with all kinds of sumptuous delicacies.
"When did you... no, how did you do it?"
Susan looked in surprise at Su Quan, who had produced so many delicacies in the blink of an eye.
Su Quan shrugged and snapped his fingers with a smile.
"Snap!"
In an instant, the two of them, along with the table, chairs, and food, appeared in a world of ice and snow.
The sky was dark, and the sky was illuminated by gorgeous, colorful, curtain-like auroras.
"This... is this an aurora?"
"Where is this?"
Susan opened her mouth wide and asked in disbelief.
"Finland, a small town called Ivalo. There are four months of polar night here every year, and you can see the aurora just by lying at home," Su Quan said with a smile.
Susan looked at Su Quan with sparkling eyes. This must be the greatness of a god, being able to go anywhere in the blink of an eye.
And although it was clearly a world of ice and snow, she, wearing thin and cool clothes, didn't feel the slightest cold. No need to ask, this must also be Su Quan's handiwork.
"I'm very moved. Thank you for the romance you prepared for me," Susan said affectionately.
She was initially attracted by Su Quan's looks and cheesy pickup lines. Handsome, humorous, rich, and wealthy—no girl would dislike such a man.
Later, when she learned that Su Quan was a god who could travel to different universes, her requirements for Su Quan and her own needs naturally changed.
Then, the wood was already carved into a boat.
But what she didn't expect was that even with the situation already settled, Su Quan was still willing to spend effort to create romance for her.
Although for Su Quan, this kind of romance might just be a small effort, for many people, they might not even be willing to do romance that requires a small effort.
Not to mention that she was currently emotionally sensitive and anxious about gains and losses; Su Quan's romantic gesture not only made her feel at ease but also moved her very much.
Under the illumination of the gorgeous and colorful aurora, this meal was eaten with deep affection and was unforgettable.
The table, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks disappeared, and ice-sculpted chairs rose from the ground. The two sat on them, but didn't feel the slightest cold.
While enjoying the aurora, they talked about the solar flare.
The purpose of the company's establishment and what Susan handled every day was for the solar flare. Currently, they had established cooperative relationships with several major space agencies, borrowed their systems and data, and had been searching for and observing the solar flare.
According to the latest news, a solar flare had entered the observation Detection Range, and according to calculations, it would arrive near Earth in half a month.
"Half a month? I don't think it will take that long."
Su Quan remembered that in the movie, the future Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom also misjudged the arrival time of the solar flare.
The abundant time suddenly became tight. Let alone returning to Earth, even saving Benjamin outside the space station was too late, ultimately leading to him becoming the only stone man whose appearance changed.
This solar flare could be said to have completely changed the fate of the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom.
Now...
Forget about Doctor Doom; the Doctor Doom in this world was far from the Doctor Doom in the comics, and both his personal ability and temper were far inferior to Reed's.
Reed had worked hard for his career in the Void for so long, having both merit and hard work; there was no need to put his rival back on the same starting line as him.
Doctor Doom, bye-bye to you.
Reed shouldn't mind gaining superpowers; after all, his original superpowers could provide no small help to his scientific experiments, at the very least making them more convenient and saving a lot of time.
Jonathan, that is, Susan's younger brother, the future Human Torch, had a flamboyant personality and liked to show off; he definitely wouldn't refuse either.
Susan probably wouldn't either.
Benjamin... he was the only one of the four who resisted or even hated superpowers, but it was understandable. A perfectly fine, strong young man suddenly turning into a stone man—who wouldn't be upset?
However, his problem wasn't unsolvable.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Su Quan silent for a long time, Susan asked with concern.
Su Quan shook his head and said with a smile: "I was thinking about the Fantastic Four."
"Fantastic Four?"
"Invisible Woman Susan, The Thing Benjamin, Mr. Fantastic Richard, Human Torch Jonathan."
Without needing special explanation, Susan could understand that the four names he mentioned were the Fantastic Four, but what did these codenames mean? And why would they become the Fantastic Four?
The name "Fantastic Four" sounded like a group.
If it were her and her brother, or her and Reed, she could more or less understand or guess a few points.
But four people?
Especially since Jonathan was a loafer and didn't have much interaction with them in life, why would they get together?
Spoiling is fun for a moment, and spoiling is always fun. Since he had already spoiled so much, he might as well spoil some more.
Su Quan told her the story of the Fantastic Four from beginning to end...
After listening, Susan's first reaction was that it was nonsense.
Even without Su Quan, she couldn't possibly choose a straight-as-steel man like Reed, nor could she choose Victor after breaking up with Reed, and even less could she eat the "returned grass" after ending with Victor and get back together with Reed.
Too melodramatic!
That said, different situations in the same period would naturally lead to different choices.
Su Quan's appearance attracted Susan, giving Susan a better and clearer choice. Her emotions naturally became firm, and Reed and Victor were simply not in her choices, so she naturally felt it was melodramatic.
But what if there were no Su Quan?
Setting aside this point of contention, Susan was most curious about her own abilities.
"Invisible Woman? Did I gain the ability to be invisible after being hit by the solar flare?"
Su Quan nodded and said: "You can be invisible and create defensive force fields."
"Sounds pretty good, but... are there any side effects or sequelae?"
The ability was generated because the cosmic radiation in the solar flare changed her DNA. As an unofficial scientist with some skills, Susan naturally had concerns in this regard.
