The Supergirl became even more beautiful!
After her unreliable underwear was removed, she transformed into a standard, beautiful young girl, dressed in a white top and white pants, pure and flawless. Her snow-white face was tinged with two rosy patches, and her eyes sparkled like stars... All these beautiful qualities were initially overshadowed by that eye-catching underwear, but now that it was gone, her beauty burst forth, unstoppable.
Lin Bai had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Oh, that's not true; he had seen the Demon Queen not long ago, a beauty who seemed to be on par with the Supergirl, but their styles of beauty were different. The Supergirl was a paragon of purity, while the Demon Queen was a seductive flower. Each had its own charm, and it was hard to say which was better. If one had to decide, it would be based on the size of their chests, but without touching them, it was hard to make a fair judgment.
Lin Bai couldn't help but stare, muttering, "If you weren't wearing that unreliable underwear, you'd be a standard world-class beauty."
The Supergirl replied coldly, "Without that, I can't use my superpowers, and it doesn't fit the worldview of a superhero."
Lin Bai looked around, trying to find a brick to angrily hit the Supergirl's head, but he couldn't find one, so he gave up, grumbling, "Are you sure that by wearing that underwear, I can use superpowers?"
The Supergirl nodded, "Definitely, for sure!"
Lin Bai spread his hands, "Alright, if you're lying to me and nothing happens after I wear that weird thing, I'll really rape and kill you. I don't care about justice or evil; even if the Jade Emperor comes to save you, I'll beat him up." He steeled his resolve, closed his eyes, and quickly put on the underwear.
He was originally wearing a pair of deep green long pants, the kind with many pockets, a style popular among young people, considered quite unique. But now, wearing a red lace underwear over it made his look exceed the limits of uniqueness. Out of a thousand young people, none would dress like this, maybe not even one out of a billion. Lin Bai no longer had to worry about wearing the same clothes as someone else! He looked down at his current appearance...
The image was too beautiful for Lin Bai to bear!
Then...
"Boom!" It felt like something exploded in his head. Some strange characters flashed in his mind. For some reason, he knew they were Kryptonian, and he could understand them. The characters slowly formed a menu in his mind, a long menu with options. He randomly picked a few to look at.
Healing superpower, consumes 25 units of justice power...
Flight superpower, consumes 200 units of justice power...
Super strength, consumes 50 units of justice power...
Super speed, consumes 50 units of justice power...
World-saving superpower, consumes 999999999999999999999999999999999999999 units of justice power...
Lin Bai couldn't help but wipe his sweat. He only had 25 units of justice power, enough for just one use of the healing superpower. The other powers were just for show. He couldn't help but comment, "The last one, the world-saving superpower, seems incredibly powerful, consuming so much justice power. I can't even count the number of digits... How can I accumulate so much justice power?"
The Supergirl said, "Oh, that... Our superhero lineage has a legend that says saving the world once will accumulate that much justice power."
Lin Bai rolled his eyes, "So, saving the world once will give you enough justice power to use the world-saving superpower?"
The Supergirl nodded.
Lin Bai covered his forehead, "The original superhero and the original demon have the same level of intelligence."
He selected the healing superpower from the menu, and a faint energy beam shot out from his body, landing on the Supergirl. After a while, the Supergirl suddenly sat up, delighted, "I'm healed! Fully recovered, thank you so much."
Lin Bai shrugged, "This superpower is quite useful. It works as soon as you use it. Even the superhero movies I've seen don't have such a powerful ability. It must be a new discovery by some generation of superheroes." He looked down at his watch, expecting his 25 units of justice power to be used up, but the watch clearly showed: "Justice power 50, evil power -50."
"What's going on? The more I use, the more justice power I have?" Lin Bai was puzzled.
The Supergirl explained, "You healed me, which is a good deed. So, even though you consumed 25 units of justice power, you gained 50 units of justice power." She paused, "What's so strange about that? Using justice power for just causes will continuously increase your power, and you will advance further on the path of justice."
Lin Bai was enlightened, "This is a really convenient ability."
The Supergirl smiled, "How about it? Now you know how powerful the superhero underwear is, right? Do you like it now?"
Lin Bai, upon hearing this, suddenly remembered that he was still wearing the red lace underwear. He quickly jumped up, completing a high-difficulty move in the air—taking off the underwear and doing a three-and-a-half somersault in just 0.01 seconds. He viciously threw the underwear back to the Supergirl, "Take it away quickly. I never want to see this weird thing again."
The Supergirl shook her head, "You have the legacy of the demon, yet you still do good deeds. You have the willpower to remain untainted and the determination to sacrifice for justice. Don't mix with the demons anymore; come be a superhero."
What? I, a mere nobody, am that noble? Lin Bai was shocked. Why don't I know these virtues myself? He quickly said, "No way! I don't want to fly around in the sky wearing a woman's underwear. If a journalist takes a photo, I won't be able to live anymore."
The Supergirl said seriously, "Don't worry, there are men's versions too. I'll bring them to you later."
Lin Bai was sweating, "It's not about men's or women's versions. The point is, does anyone walk around in public wearing underwear?"
The Supergirl said earnestly, "Yes, our superhero lineage has always done that."
Lin Bai said helplessly, "I'm not talking about your superhero lineage; I'm talking about normal people."
The Supergirl said, "Am I not normal enough? I'm a very normal superhero."
Lin Bai covered his forehead, tears streaming down his face, "Alright, you're very normal. It's actually me who's not normal, right?"
The Supergirl nodded, "Yes, I think you're too abnormal. You declared the destruction of the world, became the demon's successor, but then helped a superhero. Your justice power is more than your evil power. Are you even a normal demon?"
Lin Bai found himself unable to argue. According to the Supergirl's logic, he was indeed a super abnormal person. He could only laugh bitterly, "Alright, put on your underwear and fly away. I'm about to go crazy. Please let me have some peace."
The Supergirl nodded and put on the red lace underwear again. Her purity and beauty shattered completely, and she once again looked like a patient who had just escaped from a mental hospital.
The image was too beautiful for Lin Bai to bear!
She floated up lightly, "I'm leaving. I can't beat the demon now, so I need to train my justice power and find more just partners. I'll call the new Spider-Man, Iron Man, Batman, and others to challenge the demon together. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. Come with me."
Lin Bai wiped his sweat, "Do you know what the most important asset for modern nobodies is? It's a house! A pair of nobodies fighting for divorce will first fight over the house. An old nobody dying will have his children fight over the house. I'm a nobody, and my ancestral house is here. I won't go anywhere! Even if the demon grinds me into ashes, I'll brush my ashes on the walls of the house..."
The Supergirl shrugged, "Good luck. Thank you for helping me. Be careful of the new Iron Man; her specialty is destroying houses." Her body suddenly shot up like a jet, then sped away, disappearing in an instant.
Lin Bai watched her go with a roll of his eyes and sincerely prayed that she wouldn't come back.
He patted the dust off his pants, planning to go home and report to the Demon Queen. He would make up a story about raping and killing the Supergirl and dumping her body in the river. With his eloquence, it shouldn't be a problem. But as he took two steps, his eyes fell on his watch, and he realized the problem: This thing can measure my justice and evil power. When I get home, the demon will ask if I killed the Supergirl. If I make up a story about raping and killing her, she might not believe me and ask to see my accumulated evil power. If I show her the watch, it will show 50 units of justice power and -50 units of evil power. Will I still be alive? The Demon Queen will kill me with one slap.
Lin Bai was sweating: No, I have to do bad things to increase my evil power! Otherwise, I'm dead. But doing bad things doesn't seem good... I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either.
Lin Bai's mind raced. Although he wasn't a lawyer, he knew that when one's life is threatened, the law allows for self-defense or emergency measures... Of course, he didn't know which specific law or clause, but he used this to comfort himself and boost his courage. Otherwise, as a nobody, he wouldn't even have the courage to do bad things.
As he encouraged himself, Lin Bai walked up the riverbank to the street. It was still early in the morning, and the street was quiet with few people. A young man in a floral shirt was walking down the sidewalk, seemingly in a hurry. He glanced at the dazed Lin Bai, then looked away and walked past him.
Lin Bai's heart pounded. He had to do bad things, had to do bad things. Sorry, stranger in the floral shirt. To save my life, I have to do something bad to you. Please don't blame me. I'll hit you hard on the back of your head, knock you down, and use your unconsciousness to gain some evil power. If you are a good person, I believe you will be happy to save my life in this way.
As they passed each other, Lin Bai suddenly spun around, raised his right fist, and "bang" hit the poor man in the floral shirt on the back of his head...
