"Go ahead."
Luo Xing nodded in response to Akali's questioning gaze.
Her ninja outfit wasn't particularly outlandish, even less so than Steve's "American-style perky" clothes.
The clothing is normal.
But that... is also Captain America's "combat suit".
People who usually walk out dressed like that are either... performance artists.
"The air in this world smells rather unpleasant, more like the Zaun region described in the books."
Akali followed behind Natasha, sniffing.
The two arrived at the temporary residence that Luo Xing had borrowed next door. Natasha took the laptop from the sofa and placed it on the table.
"You can choose for yourself. Tell me which ones you like, and I can... have Luo Xing pay for them for you."
Natasha had originally intended to offer to pay for her.
But then I thought, this ninja girl is now loyal to Luo Xing, so what does it have to do with her?
Why would she waste her money? "This is a store, isn't it?"
Akali tried holding the mouse, quickly got the hang of the controls, and started selecting items.
"This vest is nice."
"No skirt, it'll interfere with the activity."
"Don't you have a face shield? Then buy a mask, it looks really nice."
What is fluorescent powder?
Akali quickly selected several outfits and, at Natasha's prompting, sent the bill to Luo Xing...
Meanwhile, Skye and Luo Xing were alone in a room.
Beep beep.
Luo Xing glanced at the bill sent to his phone and paid it without saying a word.
"My parents are still alive... Why can't I find them?"
Skye sat blankly on the edge of Luo Xing's bed.
Over the years, she has been learning hacking techniques and hacking into various databases, but she has never been able to find any information about her parents.
She had always thought her parents were long gone, but now, in another world, she learned that they were still alive. "Sometimes the truth isn't so beautiful, but I won't stop you."
Besides, you've lived like this for so many years, and you're still doing just fine, aren't you?
Luo Xing put his hand on Skye's shoulder and began to comfort her.
"you're right."
Skye looked up at Luo Xing, pursed her lips, and nodded.
She really doesn't need to force it. If she finds out that her parents abandoned her, or that they are imprisoned criminals, then it's better to maintain the status quo.
Live for yourself, do what you want.
Luo Xing gave Sky a mouthful of chicken soup.
"The things I want to do... I don't have the... ability."
Skye's eyes gradually dimmed, and she turned her head.
She possesses her own power; even if she can't compare to Luo Xing, she can at least be like the Invisible Woman and Mystique, instead of just being a support staff member hiding in a car.
"Actually... you have a gene similar to Raven's within you, but it will never manifest unless it is unlocked."
Luo Xing hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell Skye about her situation.
"Are you kidding me? I'm a mutant too."
Skye was stunned by Luo Xing's words.
"No, there are no mutants in this world. I'm just saying your situation is similar."
Luo Xing shook his head.
Mutants and Inhumans, regardless of their origins or racial abilities,
Chapter Ninety-Six: Mortgage? Instantaneous Movement
"Your outfit... makes me feel like you could form a team with Kai'Sa, Ahri, and Evelynn."
Looking at Akali's trendy new outfit, Luo Xing felt it was more eye-catching than her original ninja attire.
"Is there something wrong with this outfit? It's perfect for assassination."
Akali took off her mask, picked up a steamed bun, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"It's nothing, do as you please."
Luo Xing shook his head and said no more.
"Um... I looked up some things on that thing called 'computer' yesterday."
Ah..."
"Your outfit... makes me feel like you could form a team with Kai'Sa, Ahri, and Evelynn."

"It's nothing, do as you please."
Luo Xing shook his head and said no more.
"Um... I looked up some things on that thing called 'computer' yesterday."
Akali wiped her mouth, put down her cutlery, took out a stack of documents from behind her back, and handed them to Luo Xing: "I want to open a convenience store."
"Oh, where did you get that idea from?"
Luo Xing took the document, glanced at it, and looked at Akali with a puzzled expression, feeling quite strange.
"I've said it before, I want to support myself, I can't freeload."
As she spoke, Akali picked up another steamed bun.
"I told her this whole street belongs to you, so she's planning to borrow a place from you to open a convenience store, and then pay you back slowly after she makes some money."
Natasha stepped in to explain.
"But the problem is, you said you'd only work for me for a year, right? A year is very likely not enough money... and you still want to..."
After a quick calculation, Luo Xing offered a kind reminder.
"Then extend it, I don't mind."
Akali said decisively.
"You suggested it yourself, you won't regret it."
A promise made is a promise kept!
"Great, I agree."
Luo Xing snapped his fingers and said.
That contract was clearly written by Akali herself; it was more of a pact than a contract.
To Luo Xing's great surprise, Akali chose "loan".
Acquire ownership of the storefront directly, rather than leasing it.
This means that the bulk of her repayments won't be the initial rent for the storefront and the cost of goods, but rather the mortgage.
As for how long the mortgage would take, Luo Xing hadn't calculated it, but he estimated that if Akali wasn't allowed to break the contract, she would be stuck with it for half her life.
"You're in luck. There's a convenience store on the corner of this street... I heard it used to be doing pretty well, and now you can take over it directly."
Luo Xing took out a property certificate that had been hidden under the sofa for who knows how long, flipped through a few pages, and pulled one out.
"Okay, I'll go right away. I'll try to open my Black Gold Shop within three days!"
Akali glanced at the sample photo Luo Xing handed her, clenched her fist, and looked very motivated.
"Black Gold, you might as well call yourself Black Heart Shop."
Luo Xing couldn't help but complain.
He had just looked at Akali's convenience store plan, and putting everything else aside, the marketing aspect was giving him a real headache.
A small convenience store still has 20% [of its revenue].
This is a method of cyclical discounting.
I don't know if she was searching for information on Google yesterday or if she was just "so tired!!"
She came back from outside, dressed in women's fitness attire, covered in sweat, and collapsed onto the sofa, refusing to move.
To get some exercise, Skye made breakfast early and then immediately...
I went for a run, circling around Queens, and came back exhausted.
"Keep training hard, and I guarantee you'll become the Whitebeard of the new era after the ascension ceremony."
Seeing Skye's exhausted appearance, Luo Xing offered a word of encouragement.
"What is a white beard...? Why do I want to become a beard...?"
Skye, her head buried in the sofa cushions, asked in a muffled voice.
"That...you"

Luo Xing was slightly surprised; originally, S.H.I.E.L.D....
