Chapter 8 Super Senses
The car gradually went away with the roar of its engine. Su Lie and Gao Lan stood there and watched the car disappear from their sight.
"Lielie..." Gao Lan stroked Su Lie's hair gently. In her opinion, no matter how sensible Su Lie was, he must be sad when he saw his close friend leaving.
“Parting is just another form of reunion. We part today, but we will meet again someday.”
Su Lie shook his head to get rid of Gao Lan's abuse. He was not just talking. Now was a technological society. He and Xue Beibei had already left each other their contact information. Even if they were thousands of miles apart, it was just a phone call. And with his current super speed, if he knew the other party's address, he could run over in minutes.
However, although Su Lie said it calmly, Gao Lan suddenly exclaimed, and when he turned around to look, a bare hand had already pinched his cheek.
"Lielie, you just spoke like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life. Mom always says that you should watch more children's programs like Muppet Baby and read less of your father's philosophy books. Humph~ When your father comes back, I must talk to him."
Gao Lan seemed to be speaking angrily, but her hands did not stop moving at all.
Su Lie: ...
Su Wen:……?
……
After seeing Xue Beibei off, Su Lie only had one plan left, which was to bask in the sun. Lying on the dedicated lounge chair on the balcony, Su Lie's mind moved slightly, and the data panel unfolded in front of him like flowing water:
"Host: Su Lie
Template: Bronze Superman
Awakening: 9.9999%
Abilities: Super strength, super speed"
……
After three years of accumulation, the Bronze Superman's awakening degree is finally about to reach 10%, and Su Lie has a hunch that when the awakening degree reaches 10%, he will awaken a new ability again. As for what ability it will be, Su Lie is also looking forward to it.
In addition, super strength and super speed have also been greatly improved with the increase of awakening. Although these two abilities are the first abilities he awakened, it does not mean that Su Lie does not value these two abilities. On the contrary, in addition to the biological force field and the steel body, the most important abilities of Superman are these two abilities.
After all, in the past, when people mentioned Superman, the first impression that came to their minds was that he was extremely strong, because strength sometimes represents power.
Even in the martial arts novels of previous lives, the saying of "breaking all laws with one force" often appears, not to mention Pangu, the great god who created the world in mythology, who is the embodiment of absolute power.
As for super speed, it is equally important. There is nothing invincible in martial arts, only speed can't break it. This sentence has long been deeply imprinted in Su Lie's mind and cannot be erased. The absolute speed allows him to easily shuttle freely between cities even without transportation, and experience the thrill of speeding.
However, on the one hand, he had never encountered any danger, and on the other hand, on this planet covered by satellites, even if he could avoid the cameras, if he wanted to show his full strength, he would definitely make a lot of noise and attract satellite monitoring, and he might then be exposed to certain people. This would be really disadvantageous for Su Lie, who had not yet fully grown up, so these two abilities had never been of any use.
With a slight sigh in his heart, just when Su Lie was about to turn off the panel and continue to bask in the sun, the awakening progress of the panel suddenly fluctuated.
"10%?" Looking at the changed system panel, Su Lie felt a little hopeful. The sunlight shining on him turned into a continuous stream of energy nourishing every cell. Su Lie vaguely felt a slight sound coming from inside his body, as if he had broken free from some kind of shackles. At the same time, his five senses were instantly magnified hundreds of times.
In a trance, countless sounds suddenly flooded into his mind, including the sounds of car horns, voices, people snoring, and even the flapping of mosquitoes' wings within a radius of thousands of meters. All the noises came together, as if someone was holding a concert in his ears with gongs and drums.
Su Lie frowned, forced himself to suppress the discomfort, then opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
In an instant, a strange worldview came into his eyes. He saw a ferocious beast floating in the air, flapping its transparent wings. It had sparse fur on its body and six long mouthparts hanging on its round head, one of which was stained with the blood of some unknown creature. The key point was that there were several equally ferocious beasts floating next to this one.
Su Lie was greatly shocked, but at this moment the scene in his eyes was zoomed out like a camera. He realized that the ferocious beasts just now were actually a few blood-sucking mosquitoes. They were lying on a fat man, obviously preparing to have a big meal.
The fat man was in another residential area several thousand meters away from Su Lie.
"Enhanced hearing and vision, it seems that I have awakened my super senses." Su Lie was a little disappointed that he did not awaken the ability he wanted. But then he became extremely curious about super senses. He continued to look around, but did not immediately observe the pedestrians on the road. Instead, he cast his eyes on an office building that was also thousands of meters away. He remembered that his father Su Wen seemed to work here.
His sight was blocked by the wall. Su Lie concentrated his attention and wanted to observe the scene behind the wall. So his sight naturally penetrated the outer wall tiles and the red bricks inside, and saw the scene inside the office building.
His eyes wandered among the group of professionals, but he didn't see Su Wen on the first floor or the second floor. It was not until he saw Su Wen in the conference room on the third floor that his sight penetrated a wall again.
At this time, Su Wen was sitting in the middle of the long table meeting room, and he seemed to be mumbling something. Even his colleagues beside him could not hear clearly, but Su Lie clearly heard what Su Wen said: We have been in the meeting for the whole morning, when will the meeting end?
Looking at this familiar meeting mode, Su Lie mourned for Su Wen for two seconds. Then he continued to look away. After testing his vision and hearing, Su Lie was going to test his sense of smell to see how much the coverage and sensitivity of his sense of smell had improved.
His sight fell on a restaurant. Su Lie easily penetrated the curtain and saw the busy scene in the kitchen. He saw a chef taking out the golden fried chicken steak from the oil pan. Su Lie concentrated his attention and imagined that the chicken steak was right in front of him. He took a deep breath, and immediately the aroma of fried food reached his olfactory nerves.
Not only that, Su Lie also smelled a sour smell and the fishy smell of the meat itself underneath the aroma, as well as several other smells that he could hardly describe but were extremely clear and delicate.
The other flavors were fine, but the sour taste told Su Lie that this restaurant was selling inferior products as good ones and expired food to consumers. This phenomenon was common in the previous life, but he didn't expect it to exist in this parallel world.
After secretly noting down this restaurant, Su Lie continued to change several restaurants and finally determined his sense of smell. Its coverage range was roughly the same as that of vision and hearing. At the same time, he could also smell the deepest smell hidden beneath the surface of objects.
Next he tested his sense of taste and touch. Needless to say, his taste was excellent. He just put a piece of big white milk candy in his mouth, but instantly tasted dozens of flavors other than sweetness, which made him experience what a taste bud explosion was like.
However, his sense of touch brought him a big surprise, just like the human body will subconsciously react to external stimuli. For example, goose bumps will appear when you feel cold, and when you close your eyes and put an object close to your forehead, you will feel a tingling sensation. These are all reactions given to the brain by the human body's sense of touch after receiving external information, or reminders, or more simply, the perception of danger.
Just like Spider-Man's spider sense in Marvel, when he senses danger, the hair on his body will stand up, and this sense is not only for action, but also includes the malice from the mind of the creature. Su Lie's sense of touch, which has been magnified hundreds of times, now has the same function, allowing him to foresee danger and accurately locate the source of danger.
Although he didn't think anyone could threaten him at this stage, and he could rely on his super speed to dodge gunfire, it was easier to dodge an open attack than an arrow from the dark. With such a sense of danger, he could know who had ill intentions towards him and avoid it in advance.
After testing his five senses one by one, Su Lie looked up at the sun in the sky and felt a little excited. He had taken another step towards transcendence. So when his awakening degree reached 100% and he became a complete bronze superman, could he become a god on earth?
