"Professor, is this framework… flawed?"
Angus Neil stared intently at the draft paper, and it was unclear what he was thinking, but he pushed through the crowd, pulled out his laptop from a drawer, and began creating a data model. As various data points were entered, a completely new, never-before-seen engine took shape.
Unfortunately, even with a 3D model, it was still incomprehensible!
Left with no choice, they abandoned the overall concept and delved into the principles and operational methods of each component. As the discussion deepened, a feeling of clarity, like seeing the sun after the clouds parted, gradually emerged.
Everyone suddenly understood, as if the doors to a new world were slowly opening. In their excitement, they slapped their thighs and burst into laughter, creating a lively scene.
Luke opened his eyes and said coldly,
"What's all the noise? Can't a man get some sleep?"
Everyone immediately fell silent. At Angus's signal, they grabbed their tools and hurried to the innermost lounge. As soon as they entered, they noticed a faint, musky scent. No one paid it any mind; they gathered around the computer, discussing animatedly.
It must be admitted, purely from the perspective of scientific researchers, they were quite dedicated!
...As ShowMe expanded, the superhero column, without anyone realizing it, became a focal point of public attention. People enjoyed discussing the superheroes who fought evil and championed justice, hidden within the cities. Superheroes, in turn, became synonymous with various major cities.
For example, Batman of Gotham, Superman of Metropolis, Kid Flash of Central City, Stargirl of Blue Valley, and so on.
Today, Coast City, located on the west coast of the United States, also welcomed its own superhero: a guy glowing green who rescued a cruise ship caught in a shipwreck and then helped the police apprehend criminals robbing an armored car.
The news broadcast caused a huge stir. Soon, the name Green Lantern appeared in ShowMe's superhero column, eagerly discussed by Coast City users.
Luke only learned of this news during dinner. After reading the report on "Green Lantern," he inexplicably shook his head.
As expected of a candidate for the Son of the Plane, he managed to obtain a treasure like the power ring at his lowest point. This was like the protagonists in wuxia novels: even if their limbs were broken by their father's killer and they were thrown off a cliff, they could still drag their broken bodies to find the ultimate martial arts manual left by an ancient master in the belly of an old ape.
What is destiny? This is destiny.
Carol leaned against Luke, her expression a little strange,
"His abilities seem to be the same as mine?"
Luke nodded, "Both of you can create objects out of thin air. The difference is, the objects he creates are green, and yours are purple."
"Also, he has a ring on his hand."
The girl was startled and quickly opened the video. Indeed, Green Lantern wore a uniquely styled ring on his right middle finger, very similar to hers, but with subtle differences.
Unsure of what she was thinking, Carol's expression turned serious,
"Could he be the mysterious person who speaks in my head?"
"You said before that the voice in your head was female; he's a man."
"Is it possible to change one's voice?"
"It's possible, but…" Luke thought for a few seconds and decided not to reveal Green Lantern's identity for now,
"He looks like an Earthling."
The mysterious person came from Zamaron. Since she was an alien, her appearance would certainly be very different from Earthlings.
Realizing this, Carol suddenly became disheartened. She hugged Luke's arm and whispered,
"She hasn't appeared, probably preparing something. I'm really worried, worried about being controlled by her. If I were to do something under her control…"
"It's okay."
Luke grabbed her shoulders and comforted her, "Trust me, in less than two days, she will show herself. When that happens, I will catch her tail, destroy everything the Zamarons have on Earth, and make them disappear from your life forever."
Just then, his phone rang. Tony Wu was calling.
Luke answered the phone, and a miserable voice came through,
"Boss, this is bad! That bastard Green Lantern, he… he… damn it, he came to our headquarters while you were away, beat me, Wang Hu, Dio, Danny, and a dozen other brothers, and even let go of the loose ends that needed to be dealt with."
Hearing these words, Luke's face immediately darkened. He said in a deep voice,
"Where are you now?"
"Edward Hospital."
"What about casualties?"
"Everyone is badly injured, but there's no life-threatening danger."
Luke breathed a slight sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Stay in the hospital, recover well. I'm coming over now."
After speaking, he hung up the phone, put on his clothes, and walked out. Carol quickly followed behind him.
The two drove to Edward Hospital. Tony was waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Luke, he quickly turned his head away.
Luke looked him up and down,
"Where are you injured?"
Tony, helpless, turned his bruised and swollen right cheek towards Luke and said shamefully, "I originally wanted to control him, but that bastard suddenly conjured a huge green fist and knocked me out with one punch."
"Boss, I'm sorry, I embarrassed you."
Luke patted his shoulder, "I'll make sure you get back double for the beating you took." Then, pointing to Carol beside him, he said, "Call her Big Sis."
"Big Sis!"
Tony bowed deeply, covering his right cheek and chuckling, "I've known about you for a long time. The daughter of the chairman of Ferris Aircraft, a woman of beauty and wisdom. You and the boss are simply a perfect match, like a wolf and a tiger."
Luke kicked him.
"What are you saying?"
"Wrong, wrong." Tony's cheeks flushed red, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Not a wolf and a tiger, but a talented man and a beautiful woman, a talented man and a beautiful woman."
Carol chuckled and took a business card from her bag.
"If you have any problems in the future, call my number. I'll definitely help you solve them."
"Alright!"
Tony happily took the business card, "Big Sis is indeed Big Sis, truly generous."
"Enough."
Luke impatiently scolded, "Lead the way."
Tony quickly put the business card into his pocket and led the two to the second floor of the hospital.
The corridor on the second floor was filled with members of the Young Master Gang. Some had injured arms, some had head injuries, and some were leaning on crutches. Upon seeing Luke, they quickly stood up, their lips trembling slightly, and lowered their heads in shame.
The Young Master Gang was not a traditional gang; there was no concept of a disorganized rabble, only elite soldiers. Under Luke's unique training methods, every member of the gang was worth ten men, and with various high-tech equipment, their combat power multiplied. With just over a hundred men, they swept through the major gangs of Coast City, becoming the absolute boss of the underworld.
With so many victories, their mentality was inevitably affected. In their eyes, in this world, "Jesus is first, the boss is second, and we are third." But they never imagined that one day they would be completely wiped out by a guy glowing green.
