Chapter 124 - As the Homelander, Being Able to Fly Sounds Pretty Reasonable!

Lin Feng's diary entry finally came to an end, and only then did everyone slowly disperse.

What they'd learned this time was enough to keep many people awake through the night.

Especially Gwen—for her, the impact was twofold.First, she'd discovered that the source of her powers came from the Spider Totem.Second, she'd learned that there existed a Morlun family, beings who gained strength by devouring spider totems.

To avoid becoming their prey, Gwen decided to start learning combat techniques.She didn't know if it would help, but it was one of the few things she could do for herself.

Three days later, Ivan Vanko was brought to the United States—together with his elderly father, Anton Vanko.

Although they had both been previously expelled by the U.S. government, with Lin Feng paving the way with money and S.H.I.E.L.D. providing secret assistance, getting them into America for treatment was no problem at all.

Anton Vanko was extremely frail by now.If Lin Feng hadn't arranged for them to come in advance, the old man likely wouldn't have lasted much longer.

But under the best medical care America could offer, he could still live a few more years.

Of course, while America's public healthcare system was considered garbage even among developed nations, that was only true for ordinary people.The wealthy, on the other hand, could enjoy the very best medical resources in the world.

It was all about using both kindness and deterrence—show Ivan that resistance was impossible, while granting him favors at the same time.That was how one truly gained loyalty.

Inside the newly established Lin Group Technologies Headquarters—

Lin Feng hadn't chosen to place his base in the city center.Partly because land in downtown New York—the so-called "center of the universe"—was outrageously expensive.But also because there were many things he didn't want the public to see.

So instead, he had simply purchased an entire industrial park and transformed it into Lin Group's main research facility.

In the underground lab, inside a chamber sealed off with reinforced glass, Lin Feng stood casually dressed within the transparent space.

Outside the glass, a group of white-coated scientists monitored the data.Among them, a tall, broad-shouldered man with a bear-like build stood out—

It was none other than Ivan Vanko.

This was his first time entering the facility, and he had no idea what Lin Feng was testing.

But in the very next second, he saw Lin Feng suddenly disappear from where he stood—

And reappear a hundred meters away.

Ivan almost thought his eyes were playing tricks on him—But no.

A moment later, Lin Feng blurred again, flashing back and forth several times, each move like teleportation.

"Speed test complete—one hundred meters in 0.75 seconds!"

A researcher holding a tablet quickly noted the data.

Then came a series of professional evaluations: bench press strength, grip force, striking power, and more.Every number was carefully recorded.

As the results kept coming in, Ivan Vanko was utterly dumbfounded.He had never seen a human being like this.

Calling Lin Feng a "superhuman" didn't even begin to cover it—This was a monster.

If before, when Lin Feng had punched through his wall in Russia, Ivan had only been intimidated, now he had completely lost any trace of defiance.

This man wasn't human—he was some kind of terrifying beast wearing a human skin!

Was this something humans could even do?

He had always seen Tony Stark as his greatest enemy, the one he wanted to surpass to reclaim his family's honor.He knew exactly how strong Stark's armor was.

But now, he was certain—Even if Tony wore his best armor, Lin Feng could probably crush it with a single punch.

That kind of raw strength was beyond comprehension.

Only now did he truly understand what Lin Feng's earlier warning had meant.Especially after seeing the data—lifting strength: two hundred tons!

And his muscle density was so great that even point-blank sniper fire would be useless.

Ivan was speechless. Completely convinced.

Who could have imagined that his future boss was this terrifying?Any thoughts of rebellion vanished from his mind entirely.

"Amazing, right? The first time I saw it, I nearly peed myself,"one of the younger researchers said, glancing at Ivan's stunned face.

He remembered how shocked he'd been when he first saw Lin Feng's test results.

If not for the high salary and the fact that they weren't doing any actual "evil" experiments, he would've thought he'd joined some villain's secret lab.

Ivan gulped, nodding stiffly.

Despite being taller and more muscular than Lin Feng, he now felt like an insect before a lion.If he really acted on his old schemes, Lin Feng could probably crush his skull like a watermelon.

In that moment, Ivan finally grasped the true meaning of the phrase:

"Between life and death lies great terror."

And that was exactly why Lin Feng had brought him here—To extinguish the last trace of rebellion in his heart.

Of course, Lin Feng was also taking this opportunity to document his own physical data, and even recruit experts to study his powers scientifically.

After all, this was the Marvel Universe, where science could explain anything.If something couldn't be explained, that only meant one thing—Your scientific level wasn't high enough yet.

This lab was the core of Lin Group Technologies.Even agents he'd marked as potential S.H.I.E.L.D. spies weren't allowed access here.Not even Sharon Carter had clearance to see this place's classified data.

At most, she could guess what Lin Feng was researching based on the external equipment he purchased.

He'd been gradually building and expanding this facility for some time now.

In America, once you had enough money, anything could be done fast.

Lin Feng's powers might have come from the Diary System,but he wasn't the type to put all his faith in a single source.

He wanted to understand the essence of his power.It was almost instinctive.

At Lin Feng's level, money was nothing but numbers on a screen.What he truly sought was strength—and the knowledge behind it.

As he reviewed the data on the screen, Lin Feng noticed steady improvement across all areas.

Before, he'd barely reached the Homelander (Zu Guo Ren) beginner-level template.He hadn't drawn the intermediate or advanced templates yet—But his strength was already pushing beyond the beginner limit.

For example, his laser vision—which had first appeared as a result of that breakthrough—had evolved dramatically.

From just a few thousand degrees before, it now instantly exceeded ten thousand degrees.

That gave Lin Feng hope—the possibility of freeing himself from dependence on the System entirely.

He turned and greeted Ivan Vanko."So, how's it going? Getting used to the place?"

"Very good, sir!" Ivan replied obediently.Despite being a head taller and built like a bear, he now looked as docile as a puppy.

He had no desire to end up with his head smashed like a melon.

"Good. Keep up the good work."

"I'll arrange for your father to receive the best private medical care.As for you, just focus on completing the tasks I assign—starting with perfecting the Arc Reactor design. I expect to see a working prototype soon."

Lin Feng's tone was calm but firm.

The Arc Reactor could solve countless problems.At its peak, it could evolve into a fusion power plant, ending humanity's energy crisis.Scaled down, it could power cars, devices, and more—revolutionizing the entire energy industry.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't need to figure out how to apply it—Tony Stark was already blazing that trail.

Many people wanted a share of that technology, but unlike other fields,this one couldn't simply be bought with money or manpower.

The Arc Reactor existed solely because of Tony and Ivan's genius—a creation born from brilliance itself.

They had reverse-engineered the principles of cold fusion to achieve this miracle.

Working downward from the peak was far easier than trying to climb up from the bottom.

Sometimes Lin Feng even suspected that the invention of this thing was guided by the will of the Marvel Universe itself.

After all, black technologies appeared here one after another.Tony's armor, for instance—just twenty years of progress had turned it into something beyond belief.

Given more time, the man might even build a suit capable of flying to the moon and back.

In the real world, all it took was a screenwriter's pen to make such things exist.But here—without that plot armor—only world-level "laws" or the will of the universe itself could make such miracles happen.

After giving his instructions, Lin Feng left the lab—disappearing in a blur, like a flash of light.

Ivan Vanko's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"What the hell… did I just see a ghost?"

"Guess I count as a speedster now, huh?" Lin Feng muttered as he stepped out of the underground base, rubbing his chin.

Well… yeah, pretty much.Even Quicksilver, who got shot to death by bullets, counted as a speedster.So of course he did too! (doge face)

But what Lin Feng really wanted to test now was the second ability that had awakened when his strength broke through—

Flight.

It felt almost instinctual.Once his power reached a certain level, information about flight just… appeared in his mind.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng bent his knees slightly—

And then shot into the sky at a speed that defied all science,rocketing straight into the clouds.
