Meanwhile, at the Value Line Corporation headquarters in New York, Kingpin broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at the old man floating in mid-air on metal plates and a woman with blue skin.
Kingpin almost immediately stood up from his chair and said humbly, "What brings the renowned Magneto to the home of a lowly mob boss like myself? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
'Damn it, how did this guy get here?' Kingpin cursed inwardly. Compared to Magneto, an anti-human terrorist, he was just an ordinary person who could only run a gang.
At this moment, Kingpin wanted to call Bai Ye for help, but Magneto looked down at the human in front of him and said calmly, "Bai Ye sent me. He said you have something I need here?"
"White Night!" Kingpin was stunned for a moment, then felt a little angry. He had said that he usually didn't have any dealings with Magneto, so what was this guy doing here? It turned out that he had brought the terrorists here.
"May I ask what your relationship is with Bai Ye..." Kingpin inquired indirectly, wanting to know in what capacity Bai Ye had come here.
“An ally.” Magneto slowly descended from the sky, not intending to reveal his identity as the White Night mutant.
"An ally." Kingpin took a deep breath, surprised that Bai Ye had managed to get close to someone like Magneto in just a few days.
'Looks like I'm going to have to bleed a lot today,' Kingpin thought to himself, then picked up the phone on the table and dialed: 'Gravestone, bring up Container Number Three. There's a distinguished guest here who needs it.'
Chapter 72 Chameleon
Half an hour later, inside the Value Line Building, Magneto sat calmly in Kingpin's original chair, waiting.
On the sofa beside her, Mystique was constantly studying and memorizing a photocopy of the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.
Kingpin stood aside like a subordinate, describing the abilities of the Purple Cloud Divine Skill to Magneto.
"You mean that the Purple Cloud Divine Skill that Bai Ye gave you can grant you the same amount of true energy as someone who is willing to pass on their skills, all in one night?" Magneto asked in surprise.
“That’s right. Through our experiments, we found that the amount of internal energy each person can bear is different. Depending on each person’s physique, the higher the talent of a person, the more energy their dantian can hold, ranging from tens to hundreds of years,” Kingpin explained.
In recent days, they have also dissected the bodies of some people and, based on the internal energy circulation circuits, actually discovered meridians in the human body, which are visible to the naked eye.
It is said that the doctor who performed the dissection at the time began to doubt what he had learned before. Why was there something so obvious inside the human body that no one had noticed before? It was simply outrageous.
As they were talking, Mu Shi took the elevator to the top floor of the company, where a young man of ordinary appearance stood beside him.
The young man had bright eyes and a rosy complexion, giving the impression of boundless energy.
"Boss, the person has been brought over," Mu Shi said, pointing to the young man beside him.
"Well, once our esteemed guest has mastered the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, we'll prepare to pass it on."
Kingpin explained to Magneto, "This is the vessel for my inner energy. It has stored three hundred years of true energy within it. When Mystique learns the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, I will distribute one hundred years of inner energy to you."
“One hundred years?” Magneto tapped the table lightly with his right hand and said, “I want all three hundred years. I’ll transfer thirty million US dollars to you afterwards.”
Kingpin's face immediately fell, but forced by the other party's strength, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
You have to understand that there are plenty of other wealthy people in the world who are about to die. This 300-year-old internal energy could have been sold for a sky-high price of 300 million to 3 billion a month later, taking advantage of the time difference. But now it's being sold for a mere 30 million US dollars.
Several hours later, after Mystique had mastered the manual and cultivated her first trace of true energy, she nodded to Magneto, indicating that they could begin.
Soon, under Kingpin's command, the jinchūriki who had stored up three hundred years of true energy in his body sat cross-legged behind Mystique, continuously transferring the true energy within his body to her.
Hundreds of years of true energy flowed continuously into Mystique's body, and a layer of purple light began to shine outward from the surface of both of them.
Magneto watched with great interest. Soon, several minutes passed, and the young man who had been transmitting internal energy gradually dimmed his bright eyes, as if he had been staying up all night. His skin also lost its original luster and became much drier.
In contrast, Mystique could clearly feel that her spirit, energy, and vitality were all being enhanced by the increase in true energy within her dantian.
After transferring all his internal energy, the young man's hands hung limply on the ground, a feeling of weakness welling up inside him, as if he had been drained dry.
"How was the effect?" Magneto asked curiously after the power transfer ended.
"I feel so powerful, I've never felt this good before," Mystique said, licking her lips.
The next moment, his inner energy surged, and he swung his palm at the wall in front of him. Because he did not control his strength well, he left a palm print a foot thick on the wall from a distance.
She got up and went to the table. In front of the two of them, she picked up a bronze statue and, with the help of her inner strength, gently applied force to leave a palm print on the hard bronze statue.
"With the addition of true energy, both strength and speed are greatly enhanced, but the essence of the body remains unchanged. Without the support of internal energy, one is just like an ordinary person," Mystique described.
"Is this the surprise Bai Ye was talking about? No wonder he said it would be helpful to me." Magneto's eyes were shining. As long as he had this ability, it would greatly make up for his shortcomings and greatly increase his survival ability.
Magneto glanced at Kingpin, who had a fawning smile on his face, and stood up, saying, "I'll transfer one hundred million dollars to your account later. I'll need another 700 years of internal energy in a week."
After saying that, Magneto ignored Kingpin's expression, activated his powers, and left the building with Mystique.
"Boss, what do we do?" Tombstone asked as Magneto left.
Kingpin said somewhat angrily, "What else can we do? When he sends in a hundred million dollars, we'll use that money to buy hundreds of thousands of people in Africa to practice our techniques and make money grow."
After he finished speaking, he immediately took out his phone, found Bai Ye's number, and dialed it.
"Hello, what's up?" Bai Ye's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Oh, it’s like this.” Kingpin’s face immediately lit up with a smile. “Bai Ye, why didn’t you say you knew Magneto earlier?”
“He just arrived here. As soon as I heard that you recommended him, I didn’t hesitate to transfer all 300 years of internal energy I had in stock to him. I also took the initiative to let him reserve another 700 years of internal energy at cost price a week later. What do you think? If it’s not enough, I can add more.”
"That's fine then." Bai Ye said indifferently, then urged, "How's the equipment I had your engineering team work on coming along? It's been a week, isn't it ready yet?"
“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll go back and check on the progress. Also, the promotional work for your book has already been put on the agenda. Could you please cooperate with the promotional work?” Kingpin asked.
"How to cooperate?"
"It's just a matter of cooperating with the media for publicity, making an appearance, since you wrote this book, and the publicity revolves around you," Kingpin said expectantly.
"Forget it, it's too much of a waste of time. I don't want to waste my time on this," Bai Ye refused.
"However, I might choose to participate on the book's release date. That's all for now, I have something to do, I'll hang up now."
"Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your thing, I won't bother you anymore." Kingpin smiled like a sycophant and waited for Bai Ye to hang up before putting his phone down.
Compared to their first conversation, Kingpin's tone was now so gentle it bordered on obsequious, leaving Tombstone stunned.
They were astonished to discover that their once imposing and powerful boss had suddenly become a talented singer and dancer when facing a complete stranger named Bai Ye.
Kingpin gently put the phone in his pocket, looked at the tombstone still in the office, and said in a dark tone, "What are you standing there for? Get to work."
Chapter 73 Sky
Chapter 73 21 days
Inside the factory, seeing that the conversation was over, Xiao Taoqi took the phone back from Bai Ye's ear and then quietly hung up the phone.
Bai Ye, who was exercising and couldn't free her hands, asked, "By the way, how's your absorption control going?"
Little Mischief said, "There has been great progress, but it may take a few more days to control it to the point where it comes into contact but is not absorbed."
"Can we control the absorption of physical strength separately?" Bai Ye asked. The greater the physical strength consumption, the more obvious the improvement effect. We can wait until Xiao Taoqi has finished absorbing before we can use electricity to train the body.
"It's still being tested, but we're already making progress," the girl said truthfully.
"Okay, come help me train when you can control it," Bai Ye said, looking at her slightly flushed face without saying anything.
……
In Brooklyn, Manhattan, Peter Parker hangs slowly from the building, draped in spider silk.
“Okay, Peter Parker, all you need to do now is find Dr. Connors’ location and report it to White Night, and this matter can be perfectly resolved.”
Peter Parker muttered to himself, glancing toward Connors’ house, but then he froze.
Following Peter Parker's gaze, a large group of police officers and U.S. soldiers were ransacking Connors's house.
"Wang Defa???" Peter Parker was stunned. Could it be that Connors's identity as a lizard man had been exposed?
Puzzled, Peter Parker changed out of his Spider-Man costume and back into his normal casual clothes, then walked to Connors's house and gently knocked on the door.
As the door opened, he asked the military police with a surprised look, "Hello, may I ask what's going on inside? I'm Dr. Connors' student, and I'm here to visit him today."
"Your teacher has committed a crime and has been detained. We are just checking his home for any other incriminating evidence," an officer said.
This wasn't a secret, since the media had already uncovered Connors' identity.
"Locked up? Who locked you up?" Peter looked completely bewildered.
"Of course, he was locked up by our military's good friend, Bai Ye." The soldier said proudly, after all, Bai Ye knew Ross, so he could be considered to know Bai Ye as well.
"What? What military friends? According to my inside information, Bai Ye is clearly our bureau chief's daughter's boyfriend," said the police officer standing to the side, arms crossed.
"Bullshit! Our commander clearly said he's very fond of Bai Ye and plans to match him with his daughter. You bureau chief, go cool off somewhere else!" the soldier retorted.
Peter Parker stared blankly as the military and police exchanged trash talk, feeling a mix of emotions. How come Bai Ye had already defeated the lizardmen before he had even put in any effort?
As the military police were talking, they casually said to Peter Parker, "By the way, what's your name? If there's nothing else, you can go back now."
“Yes, officer, my name is Peter Parker.” Peter said, preparing to turn around, but the next moment two hands grabbed his shoulders. Turning around, he saw the two men looking at him strangely and saying, “Could you say your name again?”
"My name is... Peter Parker, is there a problem?" Peter looked a little guilty, wondering what was wrong with his name.
The soldier and the police officer exchanged glances and then looked at Peter, saying in unison, "Peter Parker, is that right? You'll have to come with us; your teacher misses you terribly."
Peter:? ? ?
……
For the next period of time, Bai Ye lived a very leisurely life, without anything strange happening to disturb him.
Even Peter hadn't seen him for several days, which allowed him to fully immerse himself in his training.
A day later, after killing more than two thousand mice, Little Rascal successfully made himself able to avoid absorption even when in physical contact.
Three days later, the equipment previously modified by Kingpin's team was officially completed. The high-frequency hydraulic press, capable of operating at ten times per second and a maximum of five thousand tons per cycle, was put into use by Baiye.
Five days later, after draining more than 7,000 mice.
With his physical abilities increased more than tenfold, the mischievous boy was able to control himself to absorb only physical energy, and Bai Ye officially added him to her training list.
Then, the girl lost control of her emotions because it was the first time she had been so close to her idol, and made a mistake while absorbing energy.
Seven days later, Kingpin's new book promotion plan was officially launched. People throughout New York and even the United States could see the promotion for the new book, White Nights, as soon as they turned on their TVs.
Campaign banners were plastered all over New York, including a photoshopped image of White Night and Kingpin.
During this time, as Bai Ye had told Kingpin on the phone, he did not get involved in anything.
Besides playing poker with Camilla every night, I spend my days cuddling with my little rascal to absorb energy.
Besides spending half a day each week going out with Gwen and doing everything except home run, he devoted the rest of his time to training.
Then, under Bai Ye's intense training, 21 days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
