"Hey."
"Eden, calm down."
"Todd is as strong as you are."
"If you two fight, you'll both end up hurt."
William immediately reminded Eden, seeing that he intended to play the hero.
"…"
Eden ignored William. He walked directly to Todd, grabbed Todd's wrist with one hand, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Enough, Todd! That's not how you court a girl."
"Eden?!"
"This is between Amber and me, what are you getting involved for?"
Todd asked, somewhat displeased with Eden's interference.
"Could it be that you also like Amber?"
Then, Todd seemed to think of something. He looked at Eden warily and asked in a cold voice.
If he was competing with Eden, he basically had no chance of winning.
"Me?"
Eden glanced at Amber's dark skin and shook his head imperceptibly.
Perhaps Amber was considered very beautiful among people of her skin tone, but Eden really couldn't appreciate it.
Yes, how could you expect someone who, before transmigrating, fell asleep every day listening to "Sunny Little White Horse" to like the animated version of Amber?!
Don't be ridiculous.
"Listen, there are cameras all over the hallway."
"If you don't want your parents to be called, you know what I mean."
Eden patted Todd's shoulder, pointing to the camera in the hallway behind him, and said.
"Tsk."
Seeing this, Todd first clicked his tongue, then forcefully pushed Eden away, causing Eden to hit the metal locker behind him with a "clang."
"Eden, mind your own business! Don't think I'm afraid of you."
Todd threw a harsh warning at Eden, then turned and left.
"…"
Eden watched Todd's retreating back, his expression somewhat unreadable.
In reality, Eden wasn't looking at Todd's back; his gaze passed through the walls of the building, focusing on a certain figure standing in the sky. After about half a second, he immediately turned around.
"Hmm?!"
In the sky, Nolan stood with her arms crossed, silently watching her son, constantly thinking, "Could it be that I really guessed wrong? Eden really hasn't awakened his superpowers?"
According to Nolan's guess, once Eden gained superpowers, he should have punched Todd's head off.
"I'll observe a bit more."
Nolan thought to herself.
"System, let's make a deal."
At this moment, Eden was negotiating with the system in his mind.
[Host, please speak.]
"System, who is your master?"
Eden asked directly.
[Naturally, it is the great you.]
The system said directly.
"I mean your first master, your creator."
Eden continued to ask.
[The great OBA.]
The system AI replied.
"Huh?!"
Eden was stunned.
So, the father from DC, the mother from IMAGE, and it from Marvel.
What kind of hodgepodge family is this?!
"Now let's talk about how you can stop rewarding me."
Eden felt his words were too inappropriate, so he rephrased, "I mean, stop increasing that damned villainous charm."
[Please complete daily tasks, Host.]
[Ensure I can meet my KPIs.]
The system AI replied.
"Daily tasks?"
Eden raised an eyebrow.
[Daily tasks are being issued.]
[Please complete one evil deed daily, Host.]
[Lord OBA said, 'Do not fail to do good, however small; do not fail to do evil, however small!']
[Please persist in completing evil deeds every day, Host, and strive to take over OBA's position as soon as possible.]
The system continued to reply.
"…"
After thinking for a while, Eden continued to ask the system, "What is an evil deed? What is the definition of an evil deed?"
[From destroying the world to spitting chewing gum under someone's seat.]
The system explained.
"No?!"
"Isn't that backwards?"
Eden was momentarily stunned.
[It is not.]
[To Lord OBA, destroying the universe is too easy, but to insignificant humans, it is meaningless, because humans cannot even perceive their own destruction.]
[However, spitting chewed gum under someone's seat and sticking it to their butt is different; the person who gets gum on their butt will definitely detest you.]
The system explained.
"That makes so much sense."
Eden's eye twitched; he felt as if he was almost convinced by the system's twisted logic... No way!
"In short, I need to figure out the system's boundaries and find a way to complete daily tasks without getting system rewards."
Eden thought to himself.
Because the system's definition of good and evil was too fresh and unique, Eden still had to continue exploring.
At the same time, once Eden understood the system's origin, it became much simpler.
Good news: Eden's system was not a bug that transcended universal laws, like those of other transmigrators.
Bad news: His system was created by one of the bugs of the omniverse.
But fortunately, there was still a chance to unravel it.
"Looks like I'll have to find a chance to go to Marvel."
Eden thought to himself.
Yes, there was a way to Marvel in this world (comic crossover).
Plus, with Eden's Superman dad from DC, he was confident he could find a way to Marvel.
And so.
Eden continued attending class as usual, while deep in thought.
As for Amber?!
Even though Amber's gaze towards Eden had started to become infatuated, Eden still chose to ignore her.
Honestly, Eden really wanted to reward her with a song titled "Half of the Juice is Yours."
Eden: "Teacher Arthur my only male god."
Noon.
"Eden, come with me!"
Just as Eden was enjoying his meal alone in the cafeteria, Todd, who had been snubbed by him that morning, approached Eden again.
"Hmm?!"
Eden paused, putting down his eating utensils. He used his X-ray vision to check if his omnipotent mother was observing him from the sky.
After Eden didn't find his mother's figure, he slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Eden opened his phone and found that his mother's secondary account had updated a photo of her and his dear father on a date in 'Shanghai' across the ocean. Only then did he finally sigh in relief, stand up from his seat, and say to Todd with a smile, "Alright, follow me."
"Eden!"
At this moment, William, who was eating at another table, also stood up from his seat, looking at Eden with a worried expression.
"Don't worry."
Eden gave William a reassuring look, then walked out with Todd, minding their own business.
"Amber, look!"
"Todd is bothering Eden again."
At another table, several girls whispered, but Eden didn't care.
"Eden, you…"
Outside the cafeteria, Todd's face immediately turned ashen. He roared at Eden, looking like he was about to throw a punch to teach Eden a lesson.
Well, Eden's actions made Todd feel like he had lost face.
"Come this way, there are no damned cameras here."
Eden said, ignoring Todd behind him.
"You know a lot, Eden!"
"Today, regardless of who wins, I promise I won't bother you again after this."
Todd was stunned, then patted Eden's shoulder and laughed loudly.
And so.
When Eden led Todd to the corner of the three-story teaching building, he first used his X-ray vision to check if there was anyone else around.
After Eden confirmed that no one would disturb them, he didn't give Todd any time to think. He grabbed Todd's neck with one hand, lifted him high into the air, and angrily said, "Listen, I don't want to fight you, and don't treat me as your imaginary enemy!"
"As for Amber?!"
"Sorry, I'm not interested in her."
"Also, if you like her, pursue her openly and honestly!"
"Don't resort to dirty tricks; that will only make people hate you, kid!"
After Eden finished speaking, he casually threw Todd to the ground. As if he had vented his frustrations, he slowly let out a breath and said, "That feels good."
"Inhale, exhale!"
Todd was now sprawled on the ground, breathing heavily, greedily sucking in every breath of air.
"Todd, answer me, do you understand?"
"Todd, use your brain! Really use your brain!"
As for Eden?!
Eden looked down at Todd from above and asked.
"Clatter."
Just then, the sound of something falling attracted Eden's attention.
"Hmm?!"
Eden turned his head and saw a girl with pink long hair staring at them with a dumbfounded expression.
"Damn it!"
"It's Eve."
"Samantha Eve Wilkins!"
Eden's eyes immediately darkened upon seeing the newcomer.
Indeed, Eden had used his X-ray vision to scan the surroundings.
But Eden had forgotten that a certain girl possessed abilities akin to a monkey-version Atom and a monkey-version Scarlet Witch, routinely cloaking herself to prevent others from identifying her true identity.
"You two… continuing?"
The girl tilted her head and said to the two of them.
