Chapter 53 Edgar's Compromise While Levi maintained contact with Jin Tong and worked hard to copy his superpowers, he expressed interest in the upcoming experiment and wanted to observe it together and act as a safety net. Dr. Cardoza naturally would not refuse this face, and even thanked Levi repeatedly. He had only heard of the name of Psionic Storm before, but he was not sure who had stronger superpowers between him and Kate. Now, in addition to Psionic Storm, there are Levi and Kate to assist him. Even if something unexpected really happens, there are ways to counter it. He can be said to be completely relieved. Soon a little curly-haired boy was sent over. It was Jintong’s younger brother, Sam. His strength, jumping ability, and defense are all considered powerful, but his weaknesses are also very obvious. Electric shocks, hypnotic gases, and drugs in food all have great effects on him. When he was locked up in the woods, even an ordinary person like Cardoza could have knocked him down with an electric baton. Yes, that's an exaggeration. In fact, the same is true for Jin Tong. The weaknesses of the two brothers are very obvious, which is very rare among superheroes. Most of the third-tier superheroes think that eating white noodles is not stimulating enough and need special ingredients. Ordinary anesthetic needles that can anesthetize rhinos are just a special way of playing for them, which forms a sharp contrast with the two brothers. Although Ge Da kept boasting that Jin Tong would be a strong competitor of the Seven, and even the successor of the Homelander, in fact, the gap between the two was still very, very large.
Besides, Sam is of no use to Levi. No matter how strong his fighting ability is, he is not as strong as Maeve. His special ability to enhance Jintong's superpowers in a short period of time through regular blood transfusions is not really a superpower. It only applies to Jintong alone. Walter has been experimenting for so many years, but has not been able to find a second suitable person. Soon everyone began to give blood transfusions to the two brothers, Golden Boy and Sam, according to the plan. Psychic Storm also began to give them both memory deletions and compilations, etc., to ensure that they would not remember what happened here today. Indeed, under normal circumstances, he needs to have visual contact with the target in order to use his super powers. But now both of them are in a deep coma. If he can't even do such a small thing, then he is really a waste, right? Because in addition to blood transfusion, a series of measures such as drug injection, mild electric shock, etc. are needed to allow Jintong to better accept and adapt to the new power, so today's matter will not be over immediately. This actually gave Levi the best opportunity. While copying Jin Tong's superpowers, he chatted with Dr. Cardoza and soon figured out the superpowers of the other experimental subjects here. When he was free, Cardoza even gave them some nicknames in private. Electric fingers, hot hands, fiery eyes, wailing, iron head. Well, just by looking at the name you can get a rough idea of how powerful their abilities are. It doesn't matter when dealing with ordinary people, but it is very common for superheroes. The only one that Levi was slightly interested in, but also felt was very troublesome, was probably a guy called Beast Runner. This guy doesn't run fast, but he can flash through space over short distances. However, the effect of this move is not very strong, and the maximum distance is only about six meters. The target location must also be within his sight, and there must not be any obstructions in between, otherwise the forest would not be able to hold him back for so many years. The side effects are quite obvious. First, he must get on all fours like a wild beast to perform this move. During this period, his intelligence will also be close to that of a real wild beast. The longer he uses it, the more obvious it will be. Then there is the randomness and uncontrollability of the flashing. Even at a distance of just a few meters, there can be an error of more than one third. This gave Levi a headache. Although this was a very rare space ability, he had already obtained the speed of a locomotive. With such a short distance, how could he even flash?
After a little time, Levi successfully copied Jintong's superpowers. Then, while others were busy, he personally walked around the woods a few times and confirmed one by one that the experimental subjects here were indeed as good as before. He immediately lost interest. He already had enough superpowers. Practicing them every day would take up a lot of time. He really didn't need these useless things to take up his time and energy. Soon, Sam and Golden Boy had their affairs settled, Psychic Storm was officially hired, and Levi took Kate away decisively. The next day, as expected, Edgar was quite satisfied with Levi's performance in the woods. The Seven really didn't need another naive person like Starlight. Levi also went to the Water headquarters in person and showed off his skills in front of Edgar. In addition to demonstrating his newfound ability to fly, he also created a realistic halo above his head. Even with Edgar's calmness, he couldn't help but look surprised. It was just a guess at first, but he didn't expect that Levi was actually developing into the legendary angel. This immediately made him realize that Levi's commercial value needed to be further improved! According to last year's report, there are more than million Christians in the United States. When the scope is expanded to the world, this number will probably increase by 10 times, to 24 billion. Although Protestantism, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, etc., have different degrees and ways of believing in angels. But even if only 1% of people become interested in Levi because of this, and then choose many of Water's products, the subsequent benefits generated will far exceed ordinary people's imagination! Ezekiel's "Samaritan's Embrace" features a black female superhero who can only grow chicken wings behind her back and has no other abilities. This allows him to raise at least 100 million more funds every year. According to conservative estimates, Levi can create at least a hundred times more value, right? By then, Li Wei’s Chinese identity would not be a big problem. You know, there are still many people in America who regard Hong Xiuquan as the second son of God and the brother of Jesus, and regard what he wrote as the real Bible! He immediately decided that the entire Water would promote Levi in an all-round way with greater efforts. When most Americans know him, we can organize some voting activities to elect Levi "legitimately" and make him a member of the Seven. Walter has performed similar processes many times over the past few decades and is very familiar with them, so there will be no accidents at all. However, when Levi mentioned in a more obscure way the position of vice president vacated by Madeline, he unsurprisingly chose to politely but firmly refuse. Not to mention that Levi has no experience in related positions at all, Levi's reputation is not enough to secure this position. If nothing else, the people of our country will certainly be very annoyed by this. After discussion by the board of directors, they all tend to hand it over to Ashley. She has been with Madeline for more than ten years and is already very familiar with the related business. But if Levi officially joins the Seven and can demonstrate high enough value in the future, this matter is not completely out of the question. Walter has not just one vice president, but dozens of them, who are in charge of different directions of Walter. It’s just that Madeline is the most powerful one among them. If Levi's value is high enough, or the rewards he can provide to Walter are generous enough, it is entirely possible that Walter will create a new vice president position specifically for Levi, or even consider opening a new department. But he could make a small promise now, which was to hand over the forest to Levi. Moreover, he knew very well that Levi and Kate were in love, and he had done a favor to Mind Storm. As long as he wanted, the forest would fall into his hands sooner or later, so he might as well be generous. Besides, there is more than one similar place under Watt's command, and the forest is just the smallest one among them. At the same time, Edgar also took the initiative to say that he would try to contact the Vatican again to negotiate on the issue of angels. If they could get the other party's recognition, or just a tacit agreement without any objection, it would undoubtedly be a great victory for Levi and Water. Levi was satisfied with this result.
At the same time, he also felt it was a pity. Whether it was Kate, Mind Storm, or himself, the biggest shortcoming of mind control was its duration. Otherwise, he even thought about brainwashing Water's shareholders one by one and forcing Water to completely change his name! Just as Levi was about to mention something about Compound No. 5, suddenly, he and Edgar stopped talking at the same time. Levi smiled slightly and ended the topic a little stiffly: "Mr. Edgar, thank you very much for your appreciation. After I become one of the Seven, I will definitely assist my countrymen well." "After all, you know, he has always been my idol." What did Edgar know? He only knew one thing very well: Levi never really looked down on his countrymen, just like him! But this did not prevent him from smiling and nodding to cooperate with Levi: "Very good, he does have a lot to learn from him." (End of this chapter)
