Carrying a plate of fried eggs and bacon, Craig Hollis walked to the living room and shouted upstairs at the top of his lungs: "It's time to eat, come down quickly."
Putting the plate on the dining table, he immediately saw Romeo squatting on the sofa, tinkering with some machine parts in his hands. The whole coffee table in front of the sofa was full of scattered design drawings.
Romeo is a small man in a white coat and big glasses. He is a genius scientist at a young age. He often makes inventions and creations, and his brain is like a fountain of wonderful ideas that never stops.
Although the gadgets Romeo made looked a little strange, Craig was often amazed by these little inventions.
Sometimes he wanted to pry open Romeo's brain and take a look. We are all human beings. Why couldn't he think of things that Romeo could think of?
"I miss Robert a little now. If Robert was here, these data would not be so troublesome."
Romeo was lying on the table, his mouth puckered.
Robert is his intelligent robot, a good assistant who has always helped him, and a good friend.
Although Romeo can create another one, he just likes the original Robert, and building a new one will be different from before.
The price of exchanging Robert is too high, and I don’t know when I can save enough [Red Jade].
…
"Romeo, come and eat, what new thing are you working on?"
Craig walked over and looked at the rectangular box in Romeo's hand, curiously.
"This is the automatic cleaner I just made."
Romeo jumped onto the coffee table triumphantly and began to introduce his new invention.
"Even though it's so small, it can get into even the smallest gaps, ensuring that every corner of the house is clean and spotless."
Romeo said as he pressed the red button on the left side of the machine, and a layer of tiny brushes suddenly appeared at the bottom of the box. After it was placed on the ground, it immediately started running in the living room.
Well, this is an automatic sweeping robot!
"The most important thing is that this automatic cleaner has a super-guided sensor system that can perfectly avoid any obstacles, whether it is people or furniture."
"Then this thing must consume a lot of power."
Craig nodded seriously.
"Who said that?"
When Romeo heard this, he put his hands on his hips and looked very confident.
"Just because I took this into consideration, I specially set up the automatic charging function. When it runs out of power, it will go to the socket to charge, and the battery life is very strong."
Craig thought for a while, it would be really good if this thing didn't consume electricity and could also clean the house.
"If you put it that way, it's really amazing."
Romeo raised his chin, looking very proud.
"Don't forget, I am a genius scientist. How could ordinary people think of my invention?"
"Okay, great scientist, come and eat quickly. If you don't eat, you will be cold."
Craig reached out to pick up Romeo and dragged him into the restaurant.
"Eat quickly, I made your favorite mashed potato stew today."
Craig placed the prepared breakfast in front of Romeo, then turned to the second floor where there was no movement and shouted.
"Lan Yu, Kong, Bai, come down quickly for dinner."
Craig was a little helpless. He had to invite him several times every time he had a meal. These friends were very difficult to take care of.
"I'm here."
A familiar voice suddenly came from not far behind him. Craig looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Lan Yu had just come out of the bathroom with his mobile phone.
"Well, you must be hungry. I stewed beef specially all night. It should taste good."
When facing Lan Yu, Craig didn't speak as casually as before.
Although Lan Yu usually spoke and acted in a gentle style, Craig could feel a particularly strong sense of oppression from him for no reason.
Such a huge deviation and contrast made Craig treat each other more cautiously.
But no matter what, Craig is trying to get along with Lan Yu. Who can call them partners?
…
After waiting for Lan Yu to sit down, Craig brought him his favorite beef stew. While Lan Yu was eating, he looked at his phone and occasionally reached out and swiped down twice.
Suddenly, Lan Yu's sliding hand paused slightly.
He found out some interesting news.
This is a not-so-famous newsroom in New York that specializes in reporting on seemingly bizarre things.
Reports show that a strange disease has recently appeared in New York City, temporarily named "Asiasia", affecting a large number of people.
Moreover, this symptom is rare in the world, and there has never been any relevant explanation in medicine before. Observers have discovered that anyone who suffers from this strange symptom will suffer from photophobia.
Tsk tsk!
Lan Yu unconsciously thought of a guy in the camp channel who was crazy about swiping the screen.
But this matter has nothing to do with him.
After all, he is in Wisconsin, which is not close to New York.
After waiting for a while, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps on the second floor, and soon after, the blank brother and sister also appeared in Craig's sight.
"Come and eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Craig greeted quickly.
These two brothers and sisters had given him a lot of help before.
Although it was unclear what method they used to find their two teammates, Romeo and Lan Yu, Craig was very aware of the abilities of these two siblings.
"Thanks."
Kong thanked him politely.
Then he reached out to pick up his sister Bai and put her on a chair aside. Bai just blinked and didn't say anything to Craig.
Craig smiled at Bai Bai and didn't care.
He also read some psychological books in private. After in-depth analysis, Craig felt that Bai might have autism.
But that's okay.
As long as he persists, he believes that one day he will be able to influence Bai with love.
Everyone had arrived, and Craig sat in his seat and looked at the big guys with a smile.
"We've all been together for such a long time and it's always been great, and hopefully we can become a real superhero team soon!"
Craig Hollis, who calls himself Mr. Immortal!
Not long ago, because his girlfriend committed suicide, he suddenly felt the sadness of the world and stood on the rooftop ready to bid farewell to this miserable world.
However, after several failed suicide attempts, he discovered his ability that was different from ordinary people - his immortal body.
Craig feels that he needs to use this ability to protect the world, just like those uniformed superheroes.
Unfortunately, his first attempt failed miserably. The robber shot him in the head, and then escaped while he was resurrected.
It is precisely because of this that he has a deeper understanding of the importance of teamwork. No superhero can fight alone.
And Lan Yu is one of his future partners.
Of course, the same is true for little Romeo.
Having said that, the last time I was shot in the head by a robber, if it hadn't been for the help of the Blank brothers and sisters, otherwise, I don't know what crazy things those guys would have done after discovering his resurrection ability.
It would be better to say that these two siblings saved his life.
…
"Craig, you have an opportunity to become a superhero right now."
"There's a big disaster coming to New York, and you can save everyone."
Kong, who was eating, suddenly spoke.
As early as the first day they met, he had already profiled the character of Craig in front of him.
So he knew very well how to attract this immortal gentleman through the art of language.
"ah?"
Craig was stunned for a moment, touched his nose and said curiously.
"Things in New York are too far away from us, and how do you know that a catastrophe is about to happen in New York?"
"The reasons don't matter."
Kong said calmly.
"The important thing is that this is an inevitable war. This will be your opportunity to shine on the superhero stage, so what you need now is to quickly book two tickets to New York."
"this……"
Craig's heart moved shamefully.
He really dreams of becoming a qualified superhero, punishing evil and upholding justice. This is his latest life goal.
However……
Craig thought about the small amount of savings he had left, and silently shook his head, with a slight pain on his face.
"Recently for our team's expenses, the only savings I have left have almost been spent."
When he thought that it was money in the world that blocked his path to becoming a superhero, Craig couldn't help but beat his chest.
"Don't worry about money."
Kong smiled, looking like he was sure of victory.
"The new gadget developed by Romeo happened to be sold in New York. I have already consulted. Many companies are interested in automatic cleaners. The patent can be sold for a lot of money."
Sora had also talked with Romeo before. If the automatic cleaner is promoted, [Ruby] will continue to be harvested in the future, which is also a good thing for Romeo.
"This is not good, after all, it is Romeo's invention, we..."
There was a trace of hesitation on Craig's face.
"Tch, I don't care about gadgets like this. With my genius, even if I become a sausage-making robot, I can still change the world."
Romeo stabbed the sausage with his fork and waved his short arms.
"Besides, how can you prepare delicious food for me if you don't have money?"
"A genius also needs physical strength to use his brain, and his nutrition must keep up."
Romeo shook his little head and said while eating grilled sausage.
"This, okay."
After struggling internally for a long time, Craig nodded, agreeing with this statement, but he still said it a little strangely.
"Speaking of which, why do you need to book two tickets? Are you planning to go with me?"
Craig reacted, a little surprised.
The Blank brothers and sisters are standard squatters at home.
If these brothers and sisters were allowed to go out, it would be extremely difficult for them to go to heaven.
If not necessary, Craig felt that the two of them would rather stay at home for the rest of their lives.
I have to say that today's young people are indeed different from them.
"Of course I won't go."
Kong shook his head, his eyes fell on Lan Yu who was reading the news and eating beef, and smiled slightly.
