"Vegas, baby, on the road I see~"
"No one around here~~~ no one around~~~~" Lin Feng hummed happily in his sports car as he drove down the highway, singing a song he'd heard before his transmigration.
"This is truly amazing!" Lin Feng slapped the steering wheel.
"If I hadn't become Superman, even as a mere plagiarist, I could have made a fortune!"
"You damn host, stop singing!" Just as Lin Feng was enjoying himself, the system's voice suddenly chimed in.
"You sing so terribly, even the system wants to puke!" The damn system was as obnoxious as ever.
"What are you talking about! Where is it terrible? Don't you have any taste?" Lin Feng was very displeased to be told he sang badly.
Usually, this damn system wouldn't make a peep unless he called for it.
Today, it had appeared out of nowhere. Could something be up? Lin Feng thought, and immediately asked, "You popped out on your own, are you looking for me for something?"
"Clever!" The damn system snapped its fingers. "I came out to tell you to stop singing. It's too awful, it's disturbing my sleep!"
"You're not letting this go, are you!" Lin Feng's expression turned cold. This system was truly toxic.
"If there's nothing else, then I'll hang up."
"We're all adults here! Everyone's busy!"
"Alright, alright! Let's get down to business!" The system licked its lips and steered the conversation back on track.
"Host, don't you think the speed at which you're earning prestige is too slow?"
"Even I, as the system, can't stand it!" the system lamented. "Including the impact of the last fight with Abomination,"
"You currently have a total of 3.48 million prestige points," the system said in a tone of disappointment.
"At this rate, when will you be able to exchange for Silver Superman?"
"Damn it, I'm already working very hard!" Hearing the system say that, Lin Feng felt annoyed. He was clearly working hard every day to punish evil. How could he be blamed for the low points?
Besides, the plot had only just begun. Did they expect him to go to the universe and find Thanos now?
"You think I earn prestige too slowly! Can't you just give me a couple more missions?" Lin Feng retorted unceremoniously.
"Hey! What a coincidence," the system chimed in, picking up on Lin Feng's words.
"I've come this time precisely to give you a new mission!"
"Surprise, surprise, isn't it?"
"Heh heh..." Lin Feng gave a cold laugh, thinking to himself that something was amiss.
Normally, missions were announced directly. This time, it had come out to trick him. Something unusual was bound to happen. He decided to wait and see what the damn system would say.
"I'm only slightly interested, tell me more."
"What do you mean by 'slightly interested'?" the system huffed indignantly. "Let me tell you,"
"The rewards for this mission are extremely generous!"
"How generous?" Lin Feng scoffed dismissively. The highest prestige reward the system had given him so far was 100,000 points. Honestly, he didn't expect the system to offer any good missions.
To earn prestige, he still had to rely on his own efforts, saving lives one by one.
"A minimum of 10 million prestige points! How about that!"
The R8, which had been in motion, suddenly slammed on its brakes.
"How much?!" Lin Feng doubted his ears.
"10 million prestige points?"
"That's right!" the system hummed proudly.
"So, are you interested now?"
"Yes, yes, yes, great system, please elaborate!"
Lin Feng was ecstatic. A mission worth 10 million prestige points! Ten such missions, and he could get Silver Superman!
The damn system was clearly very pleased with Lin Feng's attitude, and in the next second, a ding sounded.
You have a new mission!
Foreign Aid Mission: Save the Blue Star in the DC parallel universe, defeat Steppenwolf and corrupted Superman (Mission from the movie world Justice League)
Mission Duration: 10 days
Mission Countdown: 3 hours
Mission Reward 1: 10,000,000 prestige points
Mission Reward 2: Prestige points awarded based on the host's performance rating
Huh???
After reading the mission, Lin Feng was completely bewildered.
He reread the mission carefully. It was just a few words.
Why did it seem understandable, yet not quite?
"System! What's going on?" Lin Feng asked, confused.
"DC universe?"
"Does this mean I have to travel there to complete the mission?" Lin Feng asked. He had already transmigrated to Marvel, could he travel to DC as well?
"And what does this Steppenwolf and corrupted Superman mean?"
"That's right, damn host!" the system answered his questions. "This mission requires you to travel to the DC universe to complete it."
"And the opponents this time are indeed Steppenwolf and Superman, because..."
"No, I remember the original plot wasn't like this, right? Why do I have to fight Superman?" Lin Feng was confused and interrupted the system.
"Are you trying to bully me because I haven't read the original story?"
"If you don't fight, where will the 10 million prestige points come from?" the system retorted.
"Just fighting Steppenwolf, and you'll get 10 million prestige points?"
"The greater the risk, the greater the reward, don't you understand this simple logic!"
Challenged by the system, Lin Feng awkwardly touched his nose. "Alright... tell me in detail, how great is the risk!"
"Ask questions after I finish speaking! If you interrupt again, I won't say anything!"
"Alright, let the show begin!" Lin Feng gestured as if to say "Please."
The system rolled its eyes and continued to explain the mission details.
"First, Host, you need to know that you're not the only transmigrator!
And you're not the only one with a system!
Systems and hosts share fortunes and misfortunes. The stronger the host, the more feedback the system receives.
Therefore, to quickly improve their own and their host's strength, some systems have attached themselves to hosts with chaotic evil personalities.
These individuals are called 'Exiles.' Once they possess sufficient power, their inner evil and desires are amplified.
They wreak havoc on the plots of various parallel universes, which allows them to absorb energy during world-line convergence.
The greater the deviation from the original plot, the greater the energy generated during world-line convergence..."
The system paused here, as if giving Lin Feng time to digest the information.
"And the mission you've accepted is a plea for help from a DC parallel universe!
A few days ago, an Exile disrupted the main plot of the Justice League. He gave Steppenwolf an artifact.
Steppenwolf inserted this artifact into Superman's spine, and Superman was revived.
However, it was this artifact that caused Superman's corruption. Batman, Wonder Woman, and the others were no match for a corrupted Superman and were repeatedly defeated.
Finally, the Flash, Barry Allen, took the last Mother Box and traveled across the globe, preventing Steppenwolf and Superman from obtaining it!
Host, your mission is to deal with Steppenwolf and Superman to help the world-line converge."
"This way, the energy consumed by the world-line convergence will be very small."
"And Host, you need to be careful of the appearance of Exiles, because due to the system's nature, we cannot detect them if they are hiding in the shadows!"
"Although Exiles are not very strong in direct confrontation, they are generally skilled at using insidious tactics! You need to be wary of these!" the system rattled on.
