Chapter 9: First Seeing the Starlight At the shareholders' meeting of Water Company, Levi couldn't help but marvel at the wrinkled old lady in her fifties or sixties talking in front of him. What on earth were the people of our country thinking that they would fall for such a piece of shit? Even if he likes to drink milk, he can always find other young beauties who are breastfeeding. The reason is that this old woman named Madeline Stillwell is the vice president of Water and has an identity that he finds taboo. Or does the Homelander have the same hobby as his cheap father, the soldier boy, who was imprisoned in Russia, and believe that women are like fine wine, becoming more mellow with age? But when the old woman finished her speech, Levi still forced a sincere and bright smile on his face and applauded hurriedly. In such a special occasion, if you applaud, the other party may not remember it, but if you are completely indifferent, the old woman may hold a grudge and find an opportunity to make things difficult for you in the future. You can offend her, but there is no need to do so. According to the original plot, she won't live long anyway. She had established a fairly harmonious relationship with her native countryman by breastfeeding, but unfortunately when her real child was born, her attention was inevitably distracted. The Homelander therefore felt very jealous and even hated the child, thinking that he had taken away most of the love.
Plus, she is just an ordinary person after all, and Homelander is the most powerful superhero on Earth, a moody guy who kills people at will, so she can't help but hide some fear in her heart. Moreover, she had deceived the Homelander, but what the Homelander hated most was deception. With many factors combined, she was shot through the head by the Homelander's laser eyes. After the old woman left the stage, Deep Sea, who was wearing a green scale vest and didn't look too smart, came on stage and also made some high-sounding remarks. But Levi could tell at a glance that this guy was just memorizing his lines. But it's no wonder that people like Maeve and Locomotive ranked first in the college in terms of overall performance when they graduated from Godokin University and were excellent in all aspects. Only Shen Hai was ranked sixth because he was not smart enough. According to the government's principle of only giving five contracts each year, he should be helping Walter sell seafood now. The reason why he is able to infiltrate the Group of Seven is, on the one hand, that he can communicate with fish, and on the other hand, Water Company has been using him to promote marine animals, marine environmental protection and the like, obviously wanting to make money in this area. Some people may say that he can withstand the pressure underwater, so his physical fitness and combat effectiveness are also very good, but the bodies of those fish in the deep ocean are not that strong. They just have a peculiar structure and can adapt to the pressure therein. Considering that the Deep Sea has gills like fish, he might have similar characteristics. As for combat effectiveness, as far as Levi knew, he beat Starlight up in hand-to-hand combat, but his advantage was only in strength and fighting skills. After fighting for a long time, Starlight didn't bleed because his defense was not broken at all. After Xingguang recovered, he attacked his biggest weakness - his gills, and knocked him out in just a few moves. Soon, a beautiful blonde girl in a white uniform and a star cape appeared amid cheers. She was the protagonist of today - Starlight. Moreover, Levi was a little surprised to find that this girl was actually quite good-looking. She was a typical American sweetheart, with a little bit of baby fat and a few scattered freckles, which did not hinder her beauty. It’s a pity that this girl’s figure seems to have not grown up yet, and she looks skinny and not his type. However, Xingguang seemed to be very interested in him. She secretly glanced over here several times, with a look of surprise on her face. This made Levi quite surprised. No way, could it be that the other party was his fan? Sure enough, after Xingguang finished his speech and Madeline made a summary, indicating that today's meeting was over, Xingguang couldn't wait to run over and extended his hand to him. "Hi, Angel, I'm your fan. I have several of your posters hanging in my bedroom, as many as Deep Sea's. Your performance in the Avengers was just amazing!"
As he spoke, Xingguang fumbled around in his body, trying to find some paper and pen or something, and then asked Levi for an autograph. Unfortunately, there was no extra space in her uniform to hold those things, so she had to give up with regret. Li Wei greeted him with a big smile on his face: "Wow, this is really my biggest surprise today, no, this year. If you don't mind, you can just call me Li Wei." Xingguang was suddenly more surprised, which made Levi certain that the other party was not lying and she was indeed his fan. "Ah, okay, Levi, you can call me Annie. I heard that you can emit holy light yourself, right?" "good." Levi pursed his fingers, first condensing a ball of light on his fingertips, and then making it quickly turn into a little man within a few seconds. Although it was quite blurry, it could still be vaguely seen as the shape of starlight. After observing for a period of time, he felt that most of the superheroes in this world were relatively lazy and did not develop their superpowers in depth. Basically, they stayed the same as they were when they were acquired, which was too crude and inefficient. Of course, it is also possible that their impoverished brains simply do not support them doing so. In short, whether in TV series, movies, or Vought Corporation's publicity, I have never heard of any major changes in the strength and abilities of any superhero. The only exception is probably the black female protagonist in the spin-off series V Generation. Her original superpower was to control her own blood and turn it into blades or arrows, etc. Later, she learned to trigger the blood in other people's bodies, causing their big heads or small heads to explode, and to use the blood on the ground or in corpses to turn it into blades or arrows, etc. Well, with this little progress, he is already considered a rare genius among superheroes. The reason why he is not rare is that Vought Corporation has not had 10,000 superheroes in all these years. According to the timeline, she should not be in school yet and has not learned this trick yet. But at least he is different. In just a few days, he has developed new uses for his superpowers. The power of light can be transformed into energy armor to protect the body, and naturally it can also be transformed into a shield. His next goal is to release it to protect others. Similarly, light bullets can be transformed into light arrows, which have stronger penetrating power and can also be shaped into other shapes, such as now. Xingguang was suddenly surprised: "Is this me? God, I didn't expect you to be able to do this. I haven't seen it in a movie before!" "Haha, Annie, movies are just movies, they are different from reality." "Deep Sea sometimes brags that he is the second in command of the Seven, and that he can control the Seven except the Homelanders, but in reality his position is much more humble than most people think." Li Wei said meaningfully. If Xingguang was still fooled by Shenhai into doing nucleic acid testing after he said so, then she could only blame herself for being too stupid. But with the small toothpick in the deep sea, it would probably only delay her for less than three minutes, right? Just before Shen Hai left, he took a few special glances and found that there was no movement in Shen Hai's lower body. Unlike him, no matter what kind of pants he wears, there will always be a big lump down there. Sometimes he even loses himself in a brief thought about whether to put it on the left or right side. No wonder the deep sea likes the little octopus. It is probably because it cannot get satisfaction and desire to conquer from human females. Xingguang blinked. If someone else said this, she would definitely think that the other person was jealous, and her impression of the other person would drop drastically. But this time it was Levi, her favorite superhero - Angel, and she actually felt a little secretly happy. Really, when she got closer, she realized that he was even more handsome than on the screen, and his skin was so good that she even felt a little inferior when she saw him.
I really should ask Li Wei for advice when I have time about what kind of cosmetics he uses! As she was thinking, she deliberately changed the subject. After all, Shen Hai would be her future companion, and it was not a good thing to slander him secretly, even if he was not here at the moment. She said with a little distress: "Unfortunately, I can't spontaneously condense light like you. I need to absorb electricity first, and then convert it into light." Levi spread his hands: "I can't help it. Blame it on you for not being a farm girl from Kansas. But if you change your name to Kraken Kent, maybe you will become stronger~" Starlight couldn't help but chuckle, "Yeah, too bad I'm from Des Moines, Iowa, and I don't have a farm at home." Of course, she has read Superman comics and the like, okay? Since it was Xingguang's first day joining the Seven and there were still many things to do, the two of them didn't chat for too long. After adding each other's contact information, Xingguang left happily. Until the end, Levi still didn't ask that question. Starlight is not Blue Eagle or Firecracker. It would be very strange to ask this question when they first met. He didn't see the old woman Madeline either, so he just said hello to Ashley before leaving. He is usually very friendly to those who have no conflicts with him. Black people were not among them. What he hated most in his life were racial discrimination and black people. Well, the two don't conflict. There was still some time before dark, so he planned to find a bar to kill some time before starting his daily beating time. Perhaps the commotion caused by the fight will help increase the opportunities for superheroes to perform, and Vought's subsidiary is indeed sparing no effort in promoting it. There are now more than 30 million registered users. Keep in mind that there are only more than 300 million people in the United States. As the developer and original shareholder, Li Wei can earn a large sum of money every month just from this app, which may even be more than his salary as a super hero. Damn, it makes me angry just talking about it. You know, the signing fee that New Jersey pays me is in the billions every year. As a result, most of it went into the pocket of Water Company, and a few percent were used to give back to many government officials. In the end, only a few million actually reached him. Although it is already a lot for ordinary people, but in comparison, he is basically begging on his knees! Although he didn't need much money, what he cared about was the attitude and treatment of Water Company. Although Levi knew very well that without Water Company, there would be no super powers, signing opportunities, or even other movies, amusement parks, spokespersons, etc., he still couldn't help feeling a little indignant. When his abilities reach or exceed those of his countrymen, he will settle accounts with them! (End of this chapter)
