Ye Li also noticed the ragged boy. Seeing him digging in the sand, he activated the battle suit's automatic translation function and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I..."
The boy looked at the dry sand in his hand, then suddenly knelt before Ye Li, making a gesture he didn't understand as he pleaded, "My Lord, it hasn't rained in our town for a long time. The water in the oasis has dried up. Please bring us rain!"
Goodness, you're treating me like the Dragon King's envoy, aren't you?
But it really is a perfect fit.
Ye Li felt that the air humidity in this place was indeed very low, or rather, there was no humidity at all.
What a disparity in the World. Gwen and the others are happily attending Midtown High School, while people here can't even find a drop of Water.
"Come on, look at the sky."
"What?"
The boy looked up blankly.
Then, a drop of rain fell on his face...
"It's raining! Oh My Lord!!!"
...
After spreading some feudal superstition, Ye Li also clarified the situation in this area.
Hearing about an organization called the Ten Rings Gang, he flew directly to their gathering place.
As soon as he arrived.
He saw a person firing out of a cave; the Ten Rings Gang members were about to rush in.
"What a coincidence."
"That's Ethan in the cave, right? Buying time for Stark?"
The next moment, Ye Li instantly landed on the ground.
A Shockwave of power emanated outwards from him.
The ground shook incessantly, and everyone around was unable to stand, falling to the ground. Those who were close were directly swept away!
A sand dune near the gathering place was even affected, collapsing and sinking, forming a small patch of quicksand.
If Ye Li fully exerted himself, he could make this area sink into the desert floor.
The Terrorists and Ethan in the cave were all stunned. What kind of strange thing was this?
Chapter 26: Training Jessica! I Am The God Of Stocks!
"Demon! This guy is a demon, kill him!"
A bearded man quickly recovered, commanding his subordinates to open Fire on Ye Li!
But the bullets only sparked on the battle suit, leaving no trace.
Then Ye Li raised his hand, and surging air currents appeared out of thin air around him.
The surrounding sand and fine stones, driven by the air currents, spun faster and faster, finally cutting through the throats of these Terrorists like sharp blades.
That's why being a mage is better. If I had to kill them one by one with my fists and feet, it would definitely take more effort.
Behind the stunned Ethan, a large iron lump walked out.
"What happened just now? Was it an explosion?"
He clumsily walked around Ethan and glanced outside, "I almost welded my helmet to my leg."
The next instant, he saw bodies everywhere.
Tony Stark was stunned, ".....I don't think you did this, Ethan."
He controlled Mark One to move out a bit more, and only then did he clearly see Ye Li in the center of the pile of bodies.
"Black Spider?"
"I didn't expect a superhero to be the first to rescue me."
Tony naturally knew about Black Spider, who occasionally appeared in New York, and asked in surprise, "Your business has expanded to Afghanistan?"
"I don't particularly like the name Black Spider, Stark."
Ye Li feigned a deep voice, "I only rescued you because you happened to be captured when I was looking for you."
".....That's quite willful."
Tony said sincerely, "Anyway, buddy, you saved me."
He tapped his metal chest, "It's a pity this big guy didn't get used. I worked on it for a long time."
"Alright, Mr. Stark."
Ye Li's body gradually floated up, "When you return to New York, I'll come find you again."
"What?" Tony was stunned, "You're just leaving like that?"
"What else? Do you want me to fly you guys out?"
Ye Li flicked his trench coat, soared into the sky, leaving a message before he left, "There's food and Water here. Just wait patiently for the Military's rescue."
...
Ghost-Spider Fan Club.
This Club is not quite proper now; it even has a combat training ground.
Although it certainly can't compare to the professional facilities of organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D., it's still quite impressive.
To the outside World, it is closed.
In fact, it has been in constant use.
"Very good, Jessica."
"Left kick, right punch, concentrate, and straighten your lovely U.S. legs a bit more."
Ye Li leaned comfortably in a chair, reading the news, while instructing, "Your foundation is very strong, but you lack combat skills, which won't do. I'm going to train you into a true hero."
On the training ground, Jessica, dressed in a black combat suit with a small vest and shorts, performed various agile moves with her Snow White arms and long legs.
Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun!
White Snake Spitting Tongue!
Four Ounces Deflecting a Thousand Pounds!
Lightning Five Consecutive... Ah, let's skip that one.
After dancing for a while, she stopped, panting, "I'm so tired, brother. Is this basic training you mentioned really useful? You don't look like someone who knows how to fight."
"Of course. This is a mysterious martial art from the East. You'll know how powerful it is when you use it later."
Ye Li was naturally confident; what he was teaching Jessica was the martial arts routine that came with the [Modified Golden Light Charm].
Hearing him say this, Jessica secretly thought—Then I'll try it with Gwen~ If it's useful, I'll have her learn it too.
Thinking of this.
She took a bottle of sports drink, and while drinking, asked Ye Li, "Brother, are you ready? When are you planning to meet Ghost Spider?"
"Soon, soon."
Ye Li saw the pinned news about [Stark's Return] and stood up to tell Jessica, "Alright, you can continue practicing slowly. I'm going to sell all the Stark Industries stock."
"Pfft—sell all of it!" Jessica spat out a mouthful of soda, shocked, "Li, are you kidding? Now that Mr. Stark is back from Afghanistan, his company's stock is continuously rising!"
"What do you know (ˉ^ˉ)."
Ye Li said with a confident expression, firmly.
"Buy first! Then sell! Then buy again!
Flip it a few times! Achieve—financial freedom!"
Jessica: Σ(っД; )っ???
"Brother, you're being..."
Jessica said fearfully, "Don't lose all your money, or I'll have to carry sacks to support you..."
Ye Li glanced at her sideways, "Don't worry~ Follow your brother, and I guarantee you'll live well.
Still carrying sacks, that's all you're good for, superhero."
"Hehe~" Jessica revealed her pearly teeth, smiling playfully.
"Heh~ I am the God of Stocks!" Someone turned around flamboyantly and left gracefully.
