Chen Ye, who had just returned to the restaurant and was about to rest, received a series of system prompts.
"Ding."
"Congratulations to the host, George Stacy's favorability has increased."
"....."
"Congratulations to the host, Police Officer A has successfully added the host as a friend."
"Congratulations to the host, Police Officer B has successfully added the host as a friend."
"Congratulations to the host, Police Officer C....."
"Congratulations, Host, Hell's Kitchen resident A has successfully added you as a friend."
"......"
Chen Ye was annoyed by the system's string of system sounds. "System, can you turn off these system sounds?"
"Silent mode has been set for the host," the system replied mechanically.
Chen Ye stared at the string of friend prompts in his mind, and was completely stunned.

This prompt was different from before. Why was it someone adding him as a friend? Wasn't it always Chen Ye who initiated adding friends? Could he make friends passively?
So Chen Ye asked, "System, I didn't actively make friends either, how come a group of people have become my friends?"
"Host, the system has never said that you can only make friends actively. As long as the person involved thinks you are their friend, someone worth befriending, they will naturally become your friend. Sometimes, making friends is such a simple thing, even a glance, a gesture, can become a friendship," the system explained.
"Of course, these passively added friends can only be one-star friends. If the host wants to increase the friendship level, they need to spend more time with them," the system added.
Chen Ye immediately thought of ten thousand ways to increase his friendships. If he became a celebrity or a superhero and appeared on television, wouldn't a lot of people become his friends?
The system seemed to see through Chen Ye's thoughts. "Only those who have met each other are eligible to become friends. It's like you've seen Trump on TV, but he hasn't seen you. You're not eligible to be friends. The reason the host has a lot of friends this time is because you did something beneficial for them. The conditions for passive additions are much more difficult than active additions. Please, host, still make friends actively."
"System, how many friendship points do I have currently?" Chen Ye wanted to see if this harvest was enough for a ten-draw.
"Currently, there are a total of 227 friendship points, which can be exchanged for two family points."
"Exchange?"
"No exchange," Chen Ye immediately refused. He could only draw twice, and if he drew "Thank you for participating," he'd be at a huge loss. He should save up for a ten-draw before drawing. Chen Ye never believed in single draws bringing miracles; those were all lucky dogs!
Chen Ye hadn't expected that he'd receive such a rich reward just for wanting to improve the conditions of Hell's Kitchen Police Department and create a better living environment for the people of Hell's Kitchen. It seemed that not everyone in Hell's Kitchen was heartless...
On the other side, Natasha, Hawkeye, and a group of agents quickly returned to the Trident Building in a sorry state. Coulson instructed his subordinates to send the agents for checkups, and then brought Hawkeye and Natasha to the director's office, in front of Nick Fury.
It was obvious that Nick Fury had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Director Fury, I'm sorry. This mission was all my fault; I underestimated the strength of Chen Ye's group," the good guy Coulson took the blame.
"No, Director Fury, it was me who was too careless. Seeing a blind man, I didn't go all out. The main responsibility for this failed operation is mine, not Coulson's and the others'," Hawkeye, as the mission leader, quickly said.
"It's me!"
"It's me!"
Nick Fury looked at them, who were defending each other, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. They're reliable.
Then he interrupted, "Enough. The main responsibility for this is mine, not your problem. The urgent matter is to re-investigate Chen Ye and his group. Why does that Kane have superpowers? Is it a problem with our intelligence department? Or did he just awaken this ability?"
Nick Fury pointed out the most important issue at hand.
"If it's the former, it's fine. If it's the latter, then it proves that Chen Ye's group's strength might be much greater than we imagined," Natasha's expression became serious.
Coulson thought for a long time but couldn't understand. He asked, "Why is the latter a big problem? Awakening in the future is also very possible. What does this have to do with Chen Ye and the others? As long as we analyze what their superpowers are, we can deal with them. The next time definitely won't be like this time."
"According to the information, these people were ordinary people for decades, without any superpowers. They came to Chen Ye's side and became mutants in less than a month. Isn't that enough to explain the problem? Also, haven't you noticed that there are more and more mutants exposed around Chen Ye?" Natasha explained.
Nick Fury nodded and continued to add, "According to the data, Chen Ye wasn't a mutant at first, nor were the siblings beside him. This shows that either someone behind Chen Ye has mastered the method of unlocking superpowers, or Chen Ye himself has mastered the method. This means that the number of mutants possessed by Chen Ye's forces is far more than just a few of them. Maybe John Wick and the others are also mutants."
"When a force controls a group of mutants, or can create countless mutants. I don't need to say what that represents, do I?" Nick Fury's gaze became profound. This meant they had the ability to destroy a country at any time.
If this was true, from another perspective, this Chen Ye wasn't as simple as the data showed.
"Of course, this is all just speculation, so what we need to do now is to thoroughly investigate Chen Ye, and the forces that might be behind Chen Ye."
Coulson, who was standing beside him, said worriedly after listening, "But we just agreed not to go to Chen Ye's territory, and Hell's Kitchen is extremely exclusive; it's difficult to arrange for agents to enter again."
"Keep an eye on them. Before we have more information, don't act rashly. If it's confirmed, I'll seek external help. There are still many mutants stronger than them in this world."
Nick Fury made this decision with almost no hesitation.
"Agent Coulson, you now have a long-term mission: keep an eye on them for me 24 hours a day, no matter what means you use, as long as you don't get close to the restaurant. Try not to have conflicts; gather information first and foremost. We only agreed not to actively cause him trouble, but we didn't say we couldn't monitor him!"
"Understood, sir!" Coulson responded and respectfully withdrew.
