It had already been two or three months since Lin Feng arrived in outer space.
During this period, Lin Feng remained in a state of deep sleep. Under the influence of the system, his body was continuously strengthening. The optimized Kryptonian bloodline was constantly transforming every inch of his body. Bathed in the radiance of the sun, Lin Feng's power grew day by day.
During these days, Tony checked Lin Feng's condition almost every few days. But every time, Lin Feng's body data showed normal, and his vital signs were stable. This left both Tony and Jarvis a bit helpless. Since there seemed to be nothing wrong with Lin Feng, Tony simply stopped paying too much attention to this friend floating in space and focused on his armor manufacturing work.
A few days later, Tony, soaring through the sky in his armor, was as happy as a child. It was worth mentioning that it was precisely because of Lin Feng's previous actions that Tony unexpectedly came up with the idea of developing space armor ahead of schedule.
On Earth, besides Tony occasionally keeping an eye on Lin Feng, there was also Nick Fury, the "Black Eyepatch," who was also paying attention to his situation from time to time. At the moment, Nick Fury was sitting in his office, with Agent Coulson standing in front of his desk.
Coulson handed over a tablet. On the screen was the image of Lin Feng floating in space. Nick Fury stared at the image for a long time, then turned his gaze to Coulson. The two exchanged a look, and there was a hint of strangeness in their eyes, as if they were both a bit at a loss in this eerie atmosphere.
Finally, Nick Fury broke the silence. "He's been floating in space like this for over two months?"
"Yes, Director."
"Not even changed his position?"
"Correct, Director."
"Still alive?"
"That's right, Director."
"Motherfucker?"
"Uh... Yes, Director..." Coulson almost couldn't hold back his retort.
"Hmm?" Nick Fury stared at him with his one eye.
"Uh... Director, should we contact Tony Stark?"
Nick Fury pondered for a moment and then rejected the proposal. "No, for now, focus on Tony Stark and his 'toys'. As for this Lin Feng, have the surveillance department keep monitoring him. Notify me immediately if there's any unusual activity."
"Yes, Director!" After Coulson received the order and left, Nick Fury was the only one left in the large office. He opened the drawer of his desk and took out a document. On the cover of the document were striking red letters - The Avengers Initiative.
At this point, the timeline had reached the end of Iron Man 1.
"Ding! Evolution completed. The Kryptonian bloodline has been integrated. Congratulations to the host for completing all novice tasks. System binding in progress..."
In space, the system's prompt sounded again in Lin Feng's ear after he had been asleep for a long time. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of red light seemed to pass through his eyes.
"Binding... 1%... 15%... 37%... 59%... 98%... 100%..."
"Binding successful. The Dimensional System is at your service. This system aims to turn the host into a transdimensional powerhouse. All system functions are now open after the formal binding. Please check in the personal panel."
With the system's voice fading away, Lin Feng finally completed the novice tasks! He subconsciously took a deep breath... Then he realized that there was no air in space. He clenched his fist, and immediately felt an unprecedentedly powerful force in his body. It was as if every cell was filled with surging energy, ready to burst out at any moment.
"Damn, this is the power of the Man of Steel!" Lin Feng muttered to himself. "System, open the personal panel."
A transparent screen that only Lin Feng could see instantly appeared in front of him.
Hyperdimensional System - Host (Lin Feng)
Prestige Points: 10 (Prestige points can be used to exchange various items in the system store.)
Ability: Superman - Man of Steel (Upgradable)
Current Mission: None
System Store: Basic
Lin Feng noticed the words "Upgradable" behind his ability.
"System, what does 'upgradable' mean?"
"Ding, host. In the system store, you can use prestige points to enhance your abilities and exchange for various items. For example, you can use prestige points to exchange for the flight ability of Silver Superman." The system explained.
Hearing this, Lin Feng opened the system store. Sure enough, there were various options for exchanging Superman's abilities. However, the lowest-level Superman ability exchange required level 3 exchange authority, while Lin Feng currently only had basic authority.
Take abilities like heat vision and super flight. With Lin Feng's current Man of Steel authority, it would cost ten million prestige points to exchange for them. And all he could exchange for now were some unimportant small items.
Such as Superman's glasses, a replica of Aquaman's trident, and even a discarded reactor of Tony Stark. Hmm? Lin Feng looked at these, full of confusion. Why was there even Black Widow's original underwear? And it only cost 10 prestige points.
"This is crazy!" Lin Feng couldn't help but complain, and then looked at his prestige points. Damn, it was just enough to exchange for one.
"System, how do I get prestige points?" Lin Feng asked helplessly.
"The host's prestige points depend on the perception of the host by all living beings in the universe and the positive impact of the host's actions."
"What does that mean? Speak human language."
"... It means that if the host saves someone, the gratitude and admiration of that person for the host will be converted into prestige points."
"Got it! I'm supposed to be a star!" Lin Feng clapped his hands, suddenly understanding. "This is easy. From now on, I'll take care of New York. No one is allowed to cause trouble! I'll find two TV stations to film me all the time. Why should I worry about not getting prestige points?" Lin Feng was full of confidence.
After understanding the system, Lin Feng was itching to try. Having just obtained the ability of Superman - Man of Steel, he couldn't wait to find something to test how strong he was now. He managed to hold back the urge to punch the moon a couple of times and asked the system if there were any tasks to do.
"Ding, a plot mission detected. Help Tony Stark defeat Obadiah Stane."
"The system is really helpful!"
System Mission: Defeat Obadiah Stane and rescue Tony Stark.
Mission Reward: 100,000 prestige points, a black Superman suit (Formal mission bonus, 3/3 remaining)
"Damn!" Lin Feng was surprised. "Has so much time passed? Has Tony already made his Iron Man suit?"
"Yes, host. Because as an ordinary person, it takes a relatively long time for you to safely activate the Kryptonian bloodline."
Well, Lin Feng thought this was not a big deal. Three months was nothing compared to the ability of Superman - Man of Steel. It was time to get the mission done quickly. The mission deadline was only three hours.
Immediately, Lin Feng used his super vision. The Earth, which originally appeared white and blue in his eyes, quickly enlarged in his line of sight. His eyes scanned the Earth's surface like a satellite, and he quickly locked onto Tony, who was in a fierce battle with Obadiah.
"Is that all you've got?" Tony said trash talk while looking for Obadiah's weaknesses.
"Damn, Tony is being sarcastic again." Lin Feng clicked his tongue as he used his super hearing.
On Earth, Obadiah swung a huge punch and slammed it into Tony's chest, sending the Mark 2 armor flying. Tony couldn't get up for a long time.
"I love this suit!!" Obadiah roared and rushed forward, then kicked it again, making the Mark 2 spark.
"Ouch!!" Lin Feng winced just watching. That looked really painful.
After confirming Tony Stark's position, Lin Feng dived towards the Earth at full speed.
At this moment, Tony Stark was gasping for breath, and the light of the reactor on his chest was flickering constantly.
"Sir, energy remaining at 7%." Jarvis dutifully reminded.
Tony rolled on the ground again, dodging a small missile fired by Obadiah. The shockwave from the explosion sent Tony, who couldn't avoid it in time, flying to the ground. Crazy red warning lights flashed instantly inside his mask.
"Shock system offline, missile system offline, multiple soft tissue contusions on the body..."
"Damn it!" The pain from all over his body made Tony grit his teeth. "Jarvis, if you have any good ideas, say it quickly! Otherwise, you'll have to prepare a funeral for your boss!"
Tony cursed while using the little remaining energy to attack Obadiah, trying to buy time.
"Sir, perhaps Mr. Lin Feng can help you!" Jarvis suddenly said.
"Lin? Isn't that guy still floating in outer space?" Tony gasped.
"Sir, look up!"
Suddenly, a highly highlighted flying object was marked on the display screen inside Tony's mask. Tony looked up at the sky, and seeing this, Obadiah also looked up in confusion.
In the next second, a humanoid object descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed and landed heavily on the ground between the two, creating a huge crater. The dust and smoke that rose instantly filled the entire area.
