Do you want to extract the E-grade item 'Incomplete Superman Bloodline'?"
"Yes."
"E-grade item 'Incomplete Superman Bloodline' has been extracted. Please select a target for use."
"Target: myself."
"E-grade item 'Incomplete Superman Bloodline' has been used."
As the Superman Bloodline upgraded, the feeling of being in a hot spring, like being in the womb three days ago, once again enveloped Victor's entire body.
Similarly,
the slowly growing telekinesis also saw its growth rate surge.
The ineffable comfort almost made Victor fall into a sweet sleep.
He forced his eyelids open, got up, and hid behind a small bar counter to avoid direct sunlight. The feeling of drowsiness significantly decreased, entering a tolerable range.
He cursed himself silently for being careless.
He had actually forgotten about this!
In his current state, thinking was out of the question. He needed to find a place to bask in the sun and strengthen himself first.
Just as he was about to ask Alice to make arrangements, Felicia jogged over from a distance.
"Mr. Victor, are you alright?" Felicia looked nervous. "I saw you suddenly stand up looking very tired. Do you need to go to the medical department for a check-up?"
This personal assistant was quite dedicated.
Victor was a bit dazed and subconsciously asked, "Hardy, is your home nearby?"
Felicia: "?.?"
Felicia's cheeks were flushed.
So... eager!
Oh my!
But they had only just met, and she wasn't mentally prepared yet... "You're right, going to your place isn't appropriate." Victor didn't notice Felicia's expression and changed the subject: "Let's book a hotel first. Alice, I need a car and a driver."
Alice immediately responded: "Okay, it will be in place within one minute. Please enter the elevator. The hotel room has been booked. Would you like me to prepare a house for you in Manhattan?"
"Hmm, that works too." Victor replied casually, walking towards the elevator despite his fatigue: "You select 5 simply styled villas with swimming pools where I can sunbathe. I'll choose later."
"Okay... The collection is complete and available for selection at any time."
"Send them to my phone."
"They have been sent."
His phone vibrated in his pocket. Victor reached out to take it, and Felicia's faint voice came from behind him.
"Mr. Victor, the company has vehicles on standby 24 hours a day, ready to depart at any time. Is the Hilton Hotel acceptable? We can go there and check in directly. Regarding the selection of villas, please give me one day... Also, I'm on my period today, so... so..."
Victor: "?.?"
What was this girl talking about?
His sluggish brain pondered for a few seconds before he reacted.
Felicia had misunderstood his conversation with Alice, thinking he was talking to her, and had even imagined a lot of scenarios.
He needed to clarify this, otherwise, she might think he was too eager.
"Hardy, I was talking to Alice." He pointed to his ear: "Embedded earphones."
"Al-Alice?" Felicia's brain quickly searched: "Are you referring to Alice at the front desk? She does have a good figure..."
Victor: [ヽ(ー_ー)ノ]
This girl had a rather big misunderstanding about him!
He didn't bother to forcefully explain.
He turned and walked into the elevator. After Felicia followed him in, he finally spoke: "Alice, say hello to Hardy."
"Hello, Ms. Felicia, artificial intelligence Alice greets you." Alice's voice sounded in the elevator, and Alice's neutral face lit up on the liquid crystal glass on the back wall.
Felicia looked at Alice on the liquid crystal glass in surprise, feeling a bit disoriented for a moment.
The previous artificial intelligence wasn't called Alice, and why had its face changed?
Alice gave a very thoughtful explanation: "The security System of Osborn Tower was upgraded four hours ago. I am Alice, and I will provide better services to Osborn employees in the future."
This sentence was full of misleading information, making people naturally assume that the artificial intelligence had also been upgraded.
Felicia was exactly like that.
But after understanding the whole situation, her face instantly turned beet red.
So, what she had said just now... Although Victor's head was a bit groggy, his emotional intelligence was still online. He remained silent, standing at the elevator entrance, so that Felicia wouldn't feel so awkward.
The journey was silent.
The Hilton Hotel was ultimately chosen, charged to the Osborn Group, allowing direct check-in without formalities.
Upon entering the presidential suite, Victor naturally headed straight for the balcony.
Felicia, however, paused at the doorway, hesitating whether to follow him in.
This was her first time facing such an issue.
Originally, as Norman's chairman assistant, she only needed to be responsible for conveying orders and organizing documents. The work was easy and the salary was generous. Suddenly being called to be a personal assistant, how unaccustomed she was!
According to the duties of a personal assistant, without Victor's invitation, she should have stayed in the adjacent guest room.
But from an emotional standpoint... wasn't it too regrettable not to seize the opportunity with such a young, rich, and considerate charming man?
Oh my! It's so hard to choose!
Just as Felicia finally made her decision, gritting her teeth and preparing to step into the room, Victor's voice came from the balcony.
"You go help me pick out the villas first. Alice's aesthetic is a bit anti-human. Oh, and I lost my ID and bank cards. Could you also help me reapply for them? Get the information from Norman."
Felicia's raised silk-stockinged leg paused for a moment and had to be withdrawn, feeling both regret and relief.
Regret that she couldn't create beautiful memories with such a high-quality man.
Relief that her new boss seemed very good for now, and this already high-paying job, which had doubled, could be long-term.
With mixed feelings,
Felicia responded, closed the door, and went to the adjacent guest room. After briefly organizing her thoughts, she pulled out her phone and issued a series of instructions.
No longer infatuated, her work appeared orderly.
After all, having worked under Norman for a year, the young woman's work ability was still very strong.
--- On the other side.
Victor was once again sprawled on the balcony, undergoing the transformation process of getting stronger by sunbathing.
This feeling was incredibly refreshing!
He held on to his consciousness, extracted and fused the other several superpowers he had purchased one by one, and finally, he could peacefully fall into a deep sleep.
But this time, he couldn't get a good night's sleep.
As time passed, Victor felt that the once quiet balcony gradually became noisy, eventually feeling as if he were in a bustling market, so loud that he couldn't sleep at all, yet his body and mind were both extremely tired.
The contradiction made him uncomfortable!
Finally,
when the deafening roar of an engine sounded in his ears, Victor exploded!
He got up and looked towards the source of the sound. It was an airplane, and it was so close that he could even make out the blurry figure inside the cockpit!
Oh, what the heck!
Is the pilot of this plane a novice? There's no airport nearby, yet he dares to glide at low altitude... Holy crap! This isn't going to crash, is it?!
Victor instantly lost all sleepiness.
He had only just been strengthened, so he definitely couldn't withstand a plane landing on his head!
