Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

……

That evening, in Lu Mingfei's suite, in Lu Mingfei's bedroom.

Chu Zihang has moved into Susie's suite.

During the day, Lu Mingfei suggested living alone for two reasons: first, he wanted to set up Senior Brother Chu and Senior Sister Su; second, it would make it easier for him to go to Tony's world.

He would disappear for 24 hours when he traveled through time, so he told his senior brother Chu in advance that he would prepare food for a day and a night in advance and try to "seclude" himself to study those books as much as possible within a day.

Chu Zihang also stated that during this period, unless there is something very important, he will not allow anyone to disturb Lu Mingfei.

Senior Brother Chu always keeps his word. Since he has said so, even if Su Xiaoqiang comes, he definitely won't let her in.

In fact, Lu Mingfei originally planned to have Susie perform sword control before returning to China, and then go to Tony's world after returning home.

However, Chu Zihang and Su Xi arrived in Portugal a few days early to carry out their mission, so that they could demonstrate the power of words to him and teach him some basic knowledge.

After meeting with the local Solomon Temple, no one is sure whether the Solomon Temple will pay special attention to the movements of these "distinguished guests." If they find a secluded place to release their Word of Power, they might be noticed, which could lead to unforeseen complications.

Lu Mingfei had no good excuse to delay the matter until the eve of his return to China, and the storage time for his copied Word of Power was only one week, so he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

In particular, Susie had said that releasing words of power at will would violate school rules. Now that he had already let Susie perform once, he couldn't very well ask her to perform again later.

Fortunately, he still had an excuse to use. Although he himself thought the excuse of "seclusion" for 24 hours was a bit far-fetched, Susie and Chu Zihang did not seem to find it strange, which was a good thing.

Lu Mingfei had no idea that in Kassel College, a place teeming with lunatics and eccentrics, his "seclusion" was nothing unusual.

Chu Zihang also often meditates, sometimes for several hours or even half a day.

Lu Mingfei tidied up the books Chu Zihang had prepared for him, placed them on the table, took one of them, opened it halfway, and pretended to be reading.

He then went into the bathroom of the bedroom and carefully checked every nook and cranny to make sure there were no cameras in the room—although hotels generally wouldn't dare install cameras in presidential suites, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Then, with a thought, Lu Mingfei disappeared into the restroom.

……

When he came to his senses again, Lu Mingfei found himself in Tony's laboratory.

But this lab... something feels off?

Lu Mingfei's gaze swept across the laboratory—there was a large hole in the ceiling, and several holes had been drilled in the surrounding walls. Wall fragments were scattered all over the floor, and pipes extended from the large hole.

"Mingfei?" Tony, who was working on something next to the pipes, looked at Lu Mingfei and his eyes lit up. "You've come at the perfect time! Come and help me get this equipment set up!"

“Tony, stop working on the equipment for now,” Lu Mingfei said excitedly. “I have a way to remove the shrapnel from your body.”

As he said this, he couldn't help but think of the sword control he had copied from Susie. Just as this thought arose, a huge domain suddenly expanded outward from him.

In an instant, Lu Mingfei felt that in Tony's world, the power of the sword control he copied from Susie was magnified many times over compared to his own world. With just a subconscious thought, the metal objects in Tony's laboratory all took off into the air at almost the same moment, flying everywhere.

"No—" Tony's eyes widened in horror, "I finally managed to set up the testing ground!!!"

Chapter 63 Flying on a Sword (Beggar's Edition)

In Tony's laboratory.

After a moment of distraction, Lu Mingfei quickly recovered and stopped his sword maneuver. The flying metal objects fell to the ground like rain.

But the damage caused earlier is irreversible; the room felt as if a storm had swept through it targeting metal objects.

Tony looked at Lu Mingfei, his face twitching.

"Do you know how much time I spent putting all this together?!" Tony felt like his heart was about to stop.

This wasn't entirely his imagination, after all, he also had metal shrapnel inside his body.

Although Lu Mingfei subconsciously did not want to hurt Tony when he released his power, so only a very small portion of the power was applied to Tony, it was not without effect. Fortunately, he also had an electromagnet on his chest, which could restrain the metal shrapnel, so he was fine.

"Ahem, it was an accident, an accident," Lu Mingfei said awkwardly. "I just copied an ability to control metal from my world and wanted to help you remove the shrapnel from your body."

"But as you know, my abilities are much stronger in your world than in mine, so I lost control a little just now."

"Controlling metal? No wonder you messed up everything here..." Tony suddenly realized something and exclaimed in alarm, "Wait! If your power went out of control just now, what about the shrapnel in my chest? Did you control it too?!"

“Don’t worry, this ability allows me to sense and control metal. I can feel that the shrapnel inside you is hardly moving,” Lu Mingfei reassured him. “After all, you also have an electromagnet inside you.”

"It's good that you're alright. I didn't want to be accidentally killed by you after I solved the palladium poisoning problem," Tony complained.

“However, the shrapnel in your chest is a ticking time bomb,” Lu Mingfei said. “You should contact a doctor as soon as possible. I will use my ability to immobilize the shrapnel in your chest and tell the doctor its location so that the doctor can remove it for you.”

“No rush,” Tony shook his head. “If I remember correctly, your storage capacity lasts for a week, right? How much time do you have left?”

"About six and a half days," Lu Mingfei said.

“There’s still plenty of time,” Tony said, stroking his chin. “My experiment is nearing completion. After the surgery, I’ll need at least a month or two to rest before the experiment is interrupted. How about you finish the experiment for me first? I estimate it will take at most two days to complete.”

"What experiment could be more important than dealing with the shrapnel in your chest?" Lu Mingfei retorted. "Could it be a special drug that can enhance your... abilities?"

“I have absolutely no need for that kind of thing!” Tony immediately retorted.

This is absolutely unacceptable; to admit it would be like throwing one's dignity down the drain.

"what is that?"

“It’s a new element. I found a new atomic structure in my dad’s belongings,” Tony said. “I’ve set up a small particle accelerator at home and am going to make it and see if it really works that well.”

"Particle accelerator?" Lu Mingfei's gaze fell on the metal pipe, about the thickness of a bucket, that ran through both ends of the room.

Because of their weight and fixed position, and because Lu Mingfei only exerted a small portion of his power when he subconsciously activated it, the displacement of these metal pipes was minimal.

“Yes,” Tony nodded, “I just happened to find some usable materials in the warehouse.”

"Is your house big enough to build this thing?" Lu Mingfei was no longer the tech novice he used to be. He knew very well that an ion collider capable of creating a new type of atom would be a large building, at least larger than a stadium. "With such a small site, will the power be enough?"

“I’ve optimized the existing technology,” Tony said. “It’s more cost-effective to improve the technology than to build a particle accelerator that’s more than ten kilometers long.”

Lu Mingfei: ...

Oh right, this guy is Tony, the science fiction scientist who can shrink a nuclear fusion reactor to the size of a teacup.

“Actually, I had already finished making this thing,” Tony stared intently at Lu Mingfei, “and it had just completed its final debugging when you came over.”

"Uh..." Lu Mingfei blinked guiltily, "So it can still be used normally now, right?"

“What do you think?” Tony bent down and picked up a metal part from the ground.

"Hehehehe..." Lu Mingfei grinned foolishly, trying to get away with it.

Tony looked helpless—the reason this happened was because Lu Mingfei wanted to help him remove the shrapnel from his body, and he couldn't really blame Lu Mingfei.

but……

“Since you can now control metal, then…” Tony looked Lu Mingfei up and down, having already made up his mind.

Looking into Tony's eyes, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

……

In the laboratory, Lu Mingfei stood in the center, his sword domain expanding as he freely moved the metal objects in the room.

Tony, holding a chilled non-alcoholic beverage, sat in a chair in the corner, directing Lu Mingfei.

"Take that welding machine away and put it somewhere out of the way. We don't need it for this experiment... Oh, and lift that section of the tube up a little to check if the level is aligned, then find something to put underneath it..."

Under Tony's direction, Lu Mingfei continuously used his abilities to adjust the layout of these things in the laboratory, until finally, under Tony's command, he fixed a prism with metal attached to both ends into the tube.

"Okay!" Tony downed his drink in one gulp, stood up, and said, "That should be enough. Now we can continue the experiment."

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his abilities would be greatly enhanced in this world, and he had just spent half a day tidying up Tony's lab without much physical exertion, he was mentally exhausted. Moreover, with his current level, he didn't really understand these instruments and was just following Tony's instructions to move things around, which was quite boring.

"Are you alright, Tony? I'm going to check my things now," Lu Mingfei said.

Tony has a small, intelligent production line at home controlled by Jarvis. After all, when Tony is making the Iron Man suit or other inventions, he can't possibly handcraft every single part.

While helping Tony tidy up the lab, Lu Mingfei had Jarvis control Tony's tools to help him cast or forge some swords using modern techniques.

His idea was simple: unless he was able to fight alongside her again, he would probably have a hard time replicating Susie's sword control. But this sword control, this sword control with the power of words, was really cool, so he planned to have some fun with the replicated sword control in Tony's world before it expired.

Especially in this world, his sword control has been greatly enhanced. When Susie performed before, she could only control five swords, which was cool, but the number was too small and lacked presence. Now it's different for him; he should be able to control at least a hundred swords, right?

Now that he's finished tidying up Tony's lab, he's going to go see how many swords Jarvis has made for him.

“Don’t go yet, this is the final step,” Tony walked to Lu Mingfei’s side. “I was originally planning to do this myself, but it just so happens that you’re here…”

"I understand," Lu Mingfei immediately realized. "So you mean I'll have to do all the hard labor from now on, right?"

“That’s right!” Tony patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder and led him to the section of the tube where the prism had been placed. The tube had a switch that looked like an oversized water pipe valve.

“The high-energy particle beam will be refracted by the prism in a moment. You can turn this switch to control the direction of the prism,” Tony said as he put the protective mask on Lu Mingfei. “Then you just need to control the high-energy particle beam refracted by the prism to hit that.”

Lu Mingfei looked in the direction Tony was pointing and saw a hollow metal triangle fixed there by a metal platform.

After listening to Tony explain the specific process, Lu Mingfei grasped the valve-like switch and waited for Tony to turn on the particle accelerator.

Then he understood why Tony had asked him to do this job. As the machine was turned on, high-energy particle beams, like blue lasers, were refracted out, and the entire ion collider roared violently. Even with his physical abilities, he was slightly affected when rotating the prism.

Fortunately, the impact was not significant, and he still managed to smoothly direct the beam of light onto the target Tony had designated.

About ten seconds later, Tony turned off the particle accelerator, and Lu Mingfei saw that the hollow metal triangle, which looked like a tiny triangle, turned into a glowing pale blue.

“Alright, it should be a success,” Tony said, picking up the small triangle with tweezers and placing it into a brand-new reactor that had been prepared beforehand. “Now all that’s left is for Jarvis to test it.”

After helping Tony with the experiment, Lu Mingfei went into the room where Jarvis was processing metal swords for him.

The room was filled with a wall of pure metal longswords, all made of high-strength alloy.

As soon as Lu Mingfei raised his hand, the swords flew towards him like fish swimming in the water, swirling and dancing around him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jarvis. These are enough," Lu Mingfei said.

“Yes, Mr. Lu,” Jarvis said.

Lu Mingfei's heart stirred, and he used his sword control to make the flying swords spin around the room, resembling a flowing mercury river under the light.

A couple of years ago, Lu Mingfei watched a TV series called Chinese Paladin. He thought the setting of stepping on a sword and flying on it was really cool.

But since it's a fantasy drama, the characters have magical powers, so there's no need to worry about what to do if they lose their footing while standing on a sword and flying too fast.

Lu Mingfei felt that if he were to fly on the sword, it would be more like he was on a flying, extremely narrow metal skateboard.
