Martina, standing before Lin Feng, had completely changed her usual appearance, donning an outfit infused with cyberpunk elements.
A ferocious helmet, revealing her face, sat atop her head, still emitting light.
Her upper body was clad in a fluorescent-patterned undershirt, layered with a studded leather jacket equipped with a flash.
Over this, she wore a transparent, iridescent outer garment.
Her lower half was a pair of tight black pants with fluorescent patterns…
And then there were the metal accessories on her hands and neck, nearly five centimeters thick. Did she not find them heavy?
Her entire ensemble appeared exceptionally bizarre, a fusion of numerous elements, giving her an aura of an unapproachable, mentally unstable individual.
Speaking of her attire, Martina became quite excited.
"How is it, how is it?"
"I just bought these at the mall."
As she spoke, Martina began to show off her new gear.
With a press of a button on her cuff, her entire outfit emitted a dazzling glow.
A colorful rotating light extended from her helmet.
Shockingly, there were even two speakers on the sides of the helmet.
As the lights spun, incredibly dynamic music began to play.
It was akin to a tacky, rural disco!
This wasn't the end. Accompanied by the music, Martina struck an incredibly embarrassing, chuunibyo pose.
Left hand on her hip, right hand to her forehead, her upper body tilted backward.
Then, with a tone that seemed to see through and control everything, she declared in a deep voice, "I am the Mechanical Overlord!"
With that, she hopped twice on the spot.
This whole performance stunned Lin Feng, causing the Cosmic Cube in his hand to clatter onto the table.
For a moment, he couldn't distinguish whether that pose was a JoJo pose or a TikTok dance.
TikTok, recording chuunibyo moments anytime, anywhere…
The scene was so spectacular, even Superman wouldn't dare watch it alone.
Lin Feng decided he would play this footage during Martina's future coming-of-age ceremony.
To show her what she had done today…
Martina chuckled, retracted her pose, and turned off the lights.
"Well, is it cool enough?!"
"Cool, so cool!" Lin Feng had no intention of correcting her.
Well, many people go through this phase, he thought. He couldn't take away her fantasies.
To be honest, Lin Feng himself had fantasized about being Superman and saving the world every day when he was in school.
He never imagined he'd actually become Superman years later. Life truly is unpredictable.
"It's cool enough, but I have a question." Lin Feng glanced at her tight leather pants, pointed, and asked, "When you wear these, do your farts cause bulges?"
Martina's face instantly flushed red, and she shot Lin Feng a glare.
"Annoying! Little fairies don't fart…"
"I'm ignoring you, I'm going to find Sister Susan!"
What a disaster!
Where did this "little fairy" phrase come from now…
Besides, wasn't she the Mechanical Overlord? Why was she a little fairy now…
Lin Feng watched Martina hop away, his head aching.
Clearly, she was off to show her new gear to her Sister Susan…
As Lin Feng's gaze retracted, the door opened again, and Wanda entered with Lin Jili.
He had been so shocked that he'd forgotten to ask where Wanda and Lin Jili had gone.
It seemed Martina had been quicker and returned first.
Wanda carried a large bag, and Lin Jili carried a small one.
Fortunately, Lin Jili was still dressed normally.
Wanda blushed when she saw Lin Feng.
Martina's loud performance could be heard from outside.
"She, she wanted it, and I couldn't refuse, so I bought it…"
Bought what?
Of course, it was that incredibly bizarre outfit!
Lin Feng waved his hand wearily, intending to say it didn't matter, spend freely, as the dividends from Stark Industries alone were inexhaustible.
But in the next moment, a soft rubber dart hit him on the forehead.
"Heh heh heh! Bad guy, take this Cosmic Emperor's Gatling Gun!"
Lin Jili's childish voice rang out. Unbeknownst to him, she had pulled a toy rapid-fire gun from her bag and put on a green child's helmet.
The soft rubber darts pinged against Lin Feng's forehead, leaving a "#" mark.
Again?!!!
The darts quickly ran out, but Lin Jili, undeterred, charged under the "villain's" feet with her helmet on to retrieve the darts.
Lin Feng's dead-fish eyes stared at Wanda, making her quite flustered.
"Did you, did you take them to the Oriental forums?"
One like this, and another like this. Lin Feng was certain they had been browsing online forums in the East, otherwise, they wouldn't know these memes that were already somewhat dated for him.
"Heh, heheh, we just looked around a bit…" Wanda chuckled sheepishly.
Lin Feng remained silent, just looking at her.
Even like this? Still just looking around?
You probably got absorbed in it yourself…
"Time to eat!"
Just as Wanda was feeling a prickle of unease, Sister Susan arrived to rescue her friend.
"Well, it doesn't matter, as long as the children are happy!" Susan said with a smile, completely unconcerned about the two naughty children's antics. She was used to it.
These two kids had gone off the rails!
Lin Feng rolled his eyes. "Alright, alright… Let's eat first."
He then made to get up.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened…
"Cosmic Emperor, Cosmic Emperor?" Martina came out with Susan and saw Lin Jili standing motionlessly beside Lin Feng.
Her gaze was fixed on a glowing cube on the table.
She hadn't noticed it before because her expensive helmet had blocked some of her vision.
"Cosmic Emperor, time to eat!"
Although the Cosmic Emperor was usually her "arch-enemy," meal times together were still happy occasions.
But why was the "Cosmic Emperor" motionless now? Martina didn't understand.
Even after calling out to Lin Jili several times without a response, it drew everyone's attention.
Susan and Wanda both noticed Martina's unusual behavior.
Lin Jili seemed frozen in place, staring intently at the object on the table.
Seeing that something seemed to be wrong, the others began to move closer.
Lin Feng shouted in time, "Don't come any closer!"
"Back away!"
"Hurry and back away!"
The sudden shouts startled the three, and Susan was the first to react, pulling Martina and Wanda back a considerable distance.
She rarely saw Lin Feng's serious side.
And whenever Lin Feng showed a serious expression, it meant something had happened.
Things that could make Superman serious were no minor matters.
But this time, it seemed Lin Jili, whom Susan had raised like her own child, was in trouble, causing her heart to leap into her throat.
Susan's guess was correct.
They couldn't see it, but Lin Feng saw it clearly.
Martina seemed to be resonating with the Cosmic Cube.
A terrifying energy was brewing between them.
