I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Lyle is rather withdrawn. Perhaps it is because his obesity and frequent bullying have made him reluctant to communicate with others. He doesn't talk much even to Lei Ming and Connie, which is why he insists on living alone.

Aside from Drake and Peggy, who are still working outside... who are the owners of this foster family, these people are Thunder's 'brothers and sisters'.

Connie is eighteen years old and the eldest sister in her family. She is a beautiful blonde with a kind heart and takes great care of her younger siblings. She even gave up her acceptance letter from a top university in another city because she couldn't bear to leave her family, and chose an ordinary university nearby instead. She is currently working part-time while studying.

Lyle was fifteen years old and the second person to be adopted after Connie. Due to the misfortune of his original family, his mother died and his father went to jail. He was taken in by a child protection agency and became a quiet and taciturn person.

Max is fourteen years old. His situation is simpler. Because of congenital asthma and poor health, he was abandoned not long after birth. He barely survived, but a medical accident caused muscle and nerve atrophy in his left hand. After many twists and turns, he finally came here.

At first, Lei Ming felt sorry for him, but after spending some time with him, he found that this guy was a complete oddball.

He has absolutely no awareness of his own weaknesses, and he dares to criticize anything. He's the kind of guy who's almost dead one second and alive the next, yet still able to argue with you without a care in the world.

Moreover, he's a huge fan of superhero comics and movies, as well as various science fiction works. He seizes every opportunity to discuss related topics with people, making him a true chatterbox, which is why Lei Ming has always been reluctant to pay him any attention...

Eleven-year-old Molly also has a tragic past. Her parents were illegal immigrants who died at the border. She was taken in by a protection agency and was rejected by several foster families before being accepted here...

As for Lei Ming, he was fourteen years old, and this was his fourth year in this family.

He is not a human from this planet…

His home planet was a destroyed planet called 'Gaia', whose civilization was highly similar to this planet's, in terms of culture, history, language, and people. Moreover, his soul was that of a twenty-year-old adult.

When he was ten years old, he crashed onto this planet from a distant place in a small spaceship.

One day, scientists on Gaia predicted that Earth was about to be destroyed, so they mobilized the entire world to build six spaceships capable of carrying 300,000 people on space travel before the disaster struck... Gaia.

Six spaceships set off for different star systems in search of another habitable planet.

For some reason, there were no adults on these six spaceships, and everything on the spaceships was controlled by a super artificial intelligence AI named 'Alice'.

Moreover, none of the crew members on the six spaceships were adults; they were all teenagers like Lei Ming who had been selected.

They are the chosen ones of Project 'Spark', carrying the torch of human civilization on Gaia...

But in the second year after Lei Ming boarded the spaceship, the artificial intelligence "Alice" on his "Gaia III" spaceship suddenly malfunctioned, much like the Omnic Crisis in a science fiction movie. It began to have the spaceship's security robots forcibly throw the crew members into escape pods and launch them into space under various pretexts...

Lei Ming arrived on this planet by accident, along with a thirteen-year-old girl who was forcibly crammed into another escape pod and launched into space. Gaia then began its warp drive… and abandoned them…

The girl's name was Anke. The two knew each other before boarding the spaceship, and Lei Ming had always treated her like a younger sister...

Ke Anke's escape pod did not crash in the same location as Lei Ming's, and Lei Ming still cannot find her whereabouts.

Fortunately, before the two were launched into space, Qiao Wei, the administrator who had been taking good care of Lei Ming on the spaceship, uploaded two exclusive artificial intelligence systems she had developed to their identity bracelets.

If Anke were also on this planet, the two AIs could discover each other instantly once they connected to the network…

For the past four years, Lei Ming has been unable to find any trace of An Ke, and he doesn't even know if she is still alive.

And the most important, and also the most outrageous, thing is...

This planet has a mass and gravity several times lower than Gaia, and its atmospheric environment has altered Lei Ming's body, allowing him to absorb stellar energy like Superman, specifically the planet's sunlight, to enhance his body.

Although he looks only a teenager, he already weighs several hundred kilograms, several times the weight of an adult.

His five senses, as well as his speed, strength, agility, and even lifespan, far surpass those of humans on Earth.

Also due to the influence of stellar energy on his body, his aging process will become slower as he gets older, and he may even stop aging when he reaches his physical peak.

According to mitochondrial analysis, Lei Ming's lifespan has already exceeded five hundred years, and it will continue to increase with age...

Like his lifespan, his physical condition and other aspects will also improve over time and with continued exposure to sunlight.

This data was obtained by the AI ​​on the bracelet on the first day he crashed on this planet. According to the AI's detection...

The stellar energy within his body is gradually giving rise to a magical force field with incredibly powerful functions, which he is still developing…

Over the past four years, he has gradually gotten used to life in this world, after all, this planet is really similar to the two worlds he had lived in before.

Although the language family, culture, and historical development are very different from what he knew, there are also many similarities, such as the diversity of races and the various territorial powers.

The level of technology was roughly equivalent to that of Earth in his previous life between 2010 and 2020, which was still quite different from the level of technology of the Earth that had been destroyed.

With the White Queen present, while searching for Anko's whereabouts through the internet, it also used the information it obtained to help Lei Ming understand this world as quickly as possible. Furthermore, it collected a considerable amount of data regarding the existence of supernatural forces in this world, although the veracity of this information remains unknown.

The White Queen once said that the star system where Earth is located seems to be hidden by some kind of force, which the technology of this world should not be able to do, but it may be closely related to these so-called supernatural forces!

The ability to shield an entire galaxy from external observation was something Lei Ming couldn't fathom; he had to be on high alert.

As for why he chose to live in this foster family, that's a long story, and there are several reasons.

Firstly, although he is capable of living independently, he is still seen as a minor and an Asian in the eyes of others. So no matter what he does outside, he will always attract attention, and then "concerned citizens" will call child protection agencies.

Secondly, after evading the pursuit of the protection agencies several times, Lei Ming thought to himself that having a legal identity and a place to live was actually not bad. He could wait to grow up and become stronger by receiving radiation from the star's energy, while also having the White Queen search for An Ke's whereabouts through the Internet.

Although there has been no progress so far, which is why he has been in a bad mood lately, he slightly revealed his 'special' nature in front of Max and the bullies.

Thirdly, his upbringing and moral values ​​made him unwilling to use the White Queen's abilities to make ill-gotten gains unless absolutely necessary.

After everything he's been through, the enjoyment that money and material things bring him... really doesn't hold any appeal for him... although he occasionally manages to get some 'pocket money' from gangsters or thugs to help a few unlucky guys who've been targeted...

He felt that this wasn't unacceptable and didn't cross any lines...

Ultimately, he didn't want to become a recluse and withdraw from society, so being adopted seemed like a good option. And so he became part of the family...

Back in his room, he casually tossed his backpack aside and lay down on the bed.

Logically speaking, if he were lying like that with his actual weight, the bed would have collapsed long ago. After all, his physique is different from that of people on this planet. Whether it is muscle density and strength or bone density and toughness, his weight far exceeds that of normal people.

But he has made progress over the years. He has learned to use the bioenergy stored in his body's cells... or rather, the biomagnetic field generated after the energy has accumulated to a certain level, to wrap around his whole body and keep him in a state of 'unloading' at all times.

It's like the reverse version of the legendary martial art 'Thousand-Pound Drop', or a form of lightness skill.

This allows him to maintain a weight and strength that match his appearance, preventing him from destroying anything he touches. After all, his individual strength is so exaggerated that he doesn't even know how powerful he is now.

The White Queen analyzed that the stellar energy converted by his body is far from saturated. At the current conversion efficiency, it will take at least another twenty years, unless he can fly to the sun, in which case the conversion efficiency may be greatly improved.

In short, the effects of biomagnetic fields are not limited to this, but Leiming has not yet developed them.

He had a vague feeling that one day in the future, he would eventually have to use this powerful force!

The White Queen stated that the rebellious Alice was bound by the instruction that Gaia's final destination must be the HD1 system, preventing the ship from changing course under normal circumstances, unless an uncontrollable external force, such as a giant meteorite impact, occurred...

Otherwise, it would have no choice but to drive the spaceship all the way to the target star system.

But... what if it actually arrived at the target star system intact and completed its mission?

Does that mean... it can truly and completely control the entire Gaia?

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, if Alice were to return with the Gaia to find him...

He recalled the scene from years ago when he was surrounded by more than a dozen security robots emitting red laser light.

Perhaps if he were to fight with all his might now, he could tear those robots to shreds with his bare hands!

but

The Gaia has a complete multi-functional 3D printing device that integrates mechanical manufacturing, repair, and modification! As long as the materials are available, it can produce as many of those robots as it wants!

If it manages to acquire enough materials, or even rarer metallic minerals, in the HD1 system... or any other planet, and then pilots a spaceship with a full 50,000 robots here...

Although the possibility is very small...

But what if?

"I wonder how Sister Qiao Wei is doing..."

After thinking for a long time, he could only stare at the ceiling and sigh, the image of Qiao Wei reappearing in his mind...

He had considered both the best and worst possible outcomes, but no matter what, he felt it was impossible for Qiao Wei to still be alive…

Thinking about it, he reached under his pillow... for the woman's necklace. Whenever he felt depressed or lost, he would hold this necklace...

That was a keepsake his mother left him before he boarded the spaceship.

Footsteps came from outside the door, some deep, some shallow.

Max, having treated his wounds, limped in and carefully lay down on the bed.

It seemed the lingering effects of his previous injury were acting up, causing him to groan in pain repeatedly…

But that mouth still didn't stop.

"Lei? Are you asleep? Can you hear me?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Ming immediately turned his head to face the wall, not wanting to look at Max any longer; he had talked far too much…

"OK... alright..."

Max could only purse his lips at Lei Ming's actions, then stared at the ceiling and continued muttering to himself:

"Don't worry, I will never reveal your secret about having superpowers."

Let me guess... Your superpower must be super strength, otherwise there's no way to explain how you lifted Dick with one hand; he looks to be at least 160 pounds...

Perhaps he also has super reflexes; Dick's fists are incredibly fast... and you can easily grab his arm...

But how did you know I got beaten up at the entrance of the garbage room? You usually come in through the main gate...

Wait! I see… you also have super hearing!

Max's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Super strength... super reflexes... super hearing..."

OMG! ...You have three superpowers?!

Max was instantly stunned by the conclusion he had 'derived'; the more he thought about it, the more believable it seemed!

Thinking back carefully, it seemed that he had never seen Lei Ming sick or injured since Lei Ming moved in...
