33: Introducing equipment and testing suitability
"Wife, I've set up a Sky Net and surveillance around the Siheyuan. All of this is for Yaoyao's safety. Once Red Queen identifies the hidden enemy agents and those with ill intentions, I'll immediately call the police to eliminate these threats in one swoop, ensuring our lives are stable and peaceful."
Long Feiyang, his face full of concern and his eyes firm, explained to Li Wenting the original intention of setting up the Sky Net.
Upon hearing this, a warm current surged through Li Wenting's heart, her eyes slightly reddening. She once again leaned into Long Feiyang's embrace, holding him tightly.
Long Feiyang felt the softness in his arms, and ripples spread through his heart. Yet, he suppressed his impulse, gently patted Li Wenting's back, and then picked up a huafen phone and a communication earpiece.
"Wife, take this phone and earpiece to work. From now on, it will be much easier for us to contact each other."
Saying this, Long Feiyang handed the devices to Li Wenting.
Li Wenting looked at these unfamiliar objects, her eyes full of confusion. She had never seen them before, so she naturally didn't know what they were.
"What are this phone and earpiece?" she asked curiously.
"Wife, this phone is a wireless mobile phone, just like a landline, you can make calls with it. But its biggest advantage is that you can carry it with you. As long as there's a signal, no matter where you are, you can talk to me. And this is a smartphone; besides making calls, it can also be used for entertainment, playing music, watching videos, taking photos—it has all sorts of entertainment functions."
Long Feiyang patiently explained, while also opening the phone to take a picture of himself, then turned the screen to show Li Wenting.
Li Wenting looked at the clear photo on the phone screen, her eyes widening in surprise again, her face full of disbelief.
Immediately after, Long Feiyang took a video of himself kissing Li Wenting. When it played, Li Wenting's cheeks flushed crimson, and she lowered her head, both surprised and shy.
Afterward, Long Feiyang explained in detail the function and usage of the communication earpiece.
Li Wenting listened, pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head helplessly.
"Husband, I don't think I can bring a phone to work. If someone finds it, we'll definitely be suspected. This phone is too advanced and completely different from anything in our era. There's no way to explain it. We might even be labeled as enemy agents, and the consequences would be severe."
Li Wenting's concerns were reasonable. The technology level of this phone far exceeded the current era. Once discovered, it would indeed be difficult to explain, and it was highly likely to cause big trouble.
"Hmm, you have a point, wife. In that case, you can take this hidden communication earpiece. If anything happens, Red Queen will contact you through the earpiece."
Long Feiyang picked up the small communication earpiece and handed it to Li Wenting.
The earpiece was very small, easily fitting into the ear; it was practically unnoticeable unless one looked closely. However, its battery life was relatively short.
But Long Feiyang already had a solution: he would replace the battery when he brought her lunch at noon, ensuring the earpiece could be used normally.
Li Wenting took the earpiece, nodded, and curiously put it in her ear.
Feeling this novel device, and recalling the magical aspects of the phone and Red Queen earlier, Li Wenting's mind drifted to the current state of the country.
Currently, the country faced tight food supplies and relatively lagging technological development.
She thought, how wonderful it would be if Long Feiyang's high technology could be used for the country... But as soon as the thought emerged, she hesitated.
After all, these were Long Feiyang's secrets, and she wasn't sure if she should make such a request, or if it would bring unnecessary trouble to Long Feiyang.
Long Feiyang noticed Li Wenting's hesitation, his heart full of questions. He asked softly, "Wife, what's wrong? Is something on your mind? Tell me, don't keep it to yourself."
Li Wenting gritted her teeth, as if having made up her mind. She looked up at Long Feiyang, gathering her courage to ask, "Husband, can you use your Superpower to help the country? Our country is currently going through a difficult period. If we had the assistance of your high technology, it would surely develop much better."
Long Feiyang paused slightly after hearing this, then looked intently into Li Wenting's eyes and nodded solemnly. "Of course, wife. In fact, I've always wanted to contribute to the country, but I can't directly appear for transactions. However, I can find a reliable spokesperson. From now on, he will handle all sales, which will ensure our safety and help the country's development."
At this point, Long Feiyang paused briefly, then continued, "Wife, I actually also have a Transformation Ability that I haven't mentioned to you."
With that, he used his Transformation Ability, and his figure instantly transformed into his appearance from his previous life.
"This is what I looked like in my previous life," Long Feiyang explained, looking at Li Wenting's shocked expression.
Li Wenting watched the miraculous scene before her, astonished, covering her mouth.
She thought, her husband was indeed cautious in his actions, considering everything so thoroughly.
Long Feiyang, seeing Li Wenting's reaction, smiled slightly, canceled the Transformation, and returned to his original appearance.
"Wife, I just want to live a stable life with you and Yaoyao, and I don't want to expose my identity, which is why I've kept these things from you. I hope you can understand me."
Long Feiyang looked at Li Wenting with a hint of guilt.
After a long while, Li Wenting recovered from her shock. She took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and said gently, "Husband, I'll listen to you. Whatever decision you make, I'll support you. As long as our family can be safe and happy, that's better than anything."
"Wife, I'm really sorry that you still have to work to support the family. I feel very bad about it."
Long Feiyang gently embraced Li Wenting, his heart full of gratitude and guilt.
"It's okay, I understand. You've also given a lot to this family, and it's only right that I help out."
Li Wenting hugged Long Feiyang tightly, a happy smile on her face.
In her eyes, as long as her husband could make their mother and daughter happy, that was enough.
In the soft light of the basement, Long Feiyang looked at Li Wenting with anticipation.
"Wife, after a while, once our bodies have fully adapted to the effects of the Super Gene Potion, we can inject another dose to further enhance our Superpower. By then, we might become even stronger, better able to protect ourselves and our family."
Saying this, Long Feiyang looked at his attribute panel:
IQ: 100 (Increased by 100)
Strength:
Grip Strength: 70 kg (Increased by 70 kg)
Push Strength: 120 kg (Increased by 120 kg)
Pull Strength: 150 kg (Increased by 150 kg)
Speed: 7 meters per second (Increased by 7 meters per second)
Adaptation: 60%
Long Feiyang was startled by this, his eyes full of surprise.
[This adaptation is actually 60%, much higher than I expected. What's going on?]
He frowned in thought, then a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
[Could it be due to the increased exercise from shopping today? Possibly, exercise might help the body adapt to the serum.]
Long Feiyang looked at Li Wenting, his gaze probing.
As a Fitter, Li Wenting's work, though not entirely reliant on physical strength, did require a certain level of it, and her daily exercise volume was relatively high.
Thus, it was plausible that her adaptation might be higher than his.
Long Feiyang began to ponder how he could find out Li Wenting's adaptation value.
"Can I inject more?" Li Wenting's eyes widened, her face full of shock.
"Then my strength and appetite will double again? How can that be? I'm already worried about eating a frightening amount later."
Recalling the situation at noon, Li Wenting smiled wryly.
At that time, she had eaten three full lunchboxes of food, and Gu Shiyu had been so surprised her mouth hung open.
"If I inject another dose, I'll have to eat at least six lunchboxes per meal in the future. If someone sees that, they'll definitely notice something abnormal. Then everyone will surely gossip, and it might even bring trouble to our family."
Long Feiyang quickly explained, "Wife, don't worry. If you inject another dose, your strength and appetite will at most triple their original amount. The Super Gene Potion primarily enhances basic attributes, it doesn't double them. It won't increase indefinitely as you fear."
Li Wenting still shook her head, her face full of worry. "Then I'd still have to eat four or five boxes per meal, wouldn't I? It's still easy to be noticed. Once discovered, it will definitely cause trouble for our family. Our current life is already not easy; we can't afford these upheavals."
Long Feiyang pondered for a moment and suggested, "How about you come home for lunch? That way, no one will notice except family. It's just that commuting back and forth at noon might prevent you from getting proper rest. But this way, we can avoid outsiders discovering your special condition and reduce unnecessary trouble."
Li Wenting sighed softly, not answering, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
Seeing her reaction, Long Feiyang quickly added, "Wife, I will find a way to legitimately buy a bicycle. Then you can cycle to and from work, and it will only take one-third of the usual time to come home for meals. This is both convenient and saves time, and you'll have more time to rest."
Upon hearing this, Li Wenting was deeply moved, her eyes reddening.
"Thank you, husband. You've considered everything so thoroughly for this family. I'm truly grateful to you; meeting you is the greatest fortune of my life."
At this moment, Long Feiyang suddenly remembered the Super Warehouse's automatic identification function, and his heart stirred.
[Perhaps this function can identify Li Wenting's adaptation. I've experimented with pigs and dogs before, and the Super Warehouse can store living beings, as mentioned in the manual. I might as well try it.]
"Wife, close your eyes first, stand still, and whatever you do, don't resist. I have a small experiment I want to do; it won't hurt you."
Long Feiyang said with a serious expression.
Li Wenting now trusted Long Feiyang implicitly. Hearing his words, she obediently complied, closing her eyes and standing still.
Long Feiyang carefully brought Li Wenting into the Super Warehouse. He looked closely, and a series of attributes appeared on Li Wenting:
Name: Li Wenting
Age: 21 years old
IQ: 110 (Increased by 110)
Strength:
Grip Strength: 50 kg (Increased by 50 kg)
Push Strength: 80 kg (Increased by 80 kg)
Pull Strength: 110 kg (Increased by 110 kg)
Adaptation: 100%
Talent: None
Skills: Junior Fitter (900/1000), Junior Cooking (635/1000), Junior Tailoring (300/1000)... Long Feiyang's eyes widened instantly, his face full of astonishment.
He hadn't expected that, besides strength and Speed, Li Wenting's IQ was even higher than his own, and she possessed more skills.
It seemed that if it weren't for his own talent, he would be like a waste compared to Li Wenting.
What surprised him even more was that he seemed to be able to upgrade Li Wenting's skills within the Super Warehouse.
Long Feiyang hesitated for a moment, ultimately deciding not to directly upgrade Li Wenting's skills, planning to seek her opinion first.
Then, Long Feiyang released Li Wenting from the Super Warehouse.
"Wife, your current physical condition allows you to inject another Super Gene Potion. Do you want to inject it? This might make you even stronger; consider it," Long Feiyang looked at Li Wenting, his eyes questioning.
Li Wenting didn't hesitate, nodding firmly.
"I want to inject it, husband. I also want to become stronger so I can protect our home and Yaoyao with you."
