Tony Stark felt the inconvenience of not wearing his Mark armor due to Nick Fury's sudden appearance.
If someone with malicious intent were to break into his home again, would he even have time to put on his Mark armor?
The more Tony thought about it, the less secure he felt. Thus, he had been researching portable models recently and finally created the Mark V, which could fold down to the size of a small briefcase.
He even made a special trip to show it off to Lin Feng, much to Lin Feng's speechless amusement.
Lin Feng was not idle either. To gain more renown, he constantly roamed the gray areas of various districts in New York.
Wherever there was danger, Lin Feng was there. When something happened, he was faster than the agents of the FBI.
By the time a large group of police officers arrived, Lin Feng had already resolved the situation.
This left the New York authorities with a mixture of love and hate, yet they were powerless to stop him.
In a short time, the name of the superhero, clad in a black, form-fitting suit, a cape flowing behind him, and a large 'S' emblem emblazoned on his chest, echoed throughout New York.
His name was... Superman.
On television, one could frequently see Superman saving a chemical plant from a sudden fire, a precarious cargo ship in a storm safely docking under Superman's protection, or Superman saving a child from a fall that day.
His immense strength, handsome appearance, and warm heart dedicated to helping the public allowed Lin Feng to quickly gain a large following.
He even had his own fan forum! His renown points were also climbing rapidly.
During this time, the young reporter Susan approached him. She expressed her desire to follow Lin Feng and photograph his rescue missions.
The photos of Superman circulating online were either too blurry or lacked proper angles.
Therefore, she wanted to follow Lin Feng, which would also help her complete her work assignments.
Lin Feng immediately agreed, stating that higher exposure meant more renown points, a mutually beneficial arrangement. He only instructed Susan to make him look good in the photos.
Susan did not disappoint Lin Feng. Every photo she took was eye-catching and impactful, leaving Lin Feng very satisfied.
As various incidents involving Superman were exposed, the public's attention and discussion surrounding Superman soon surpassed that of Iron Man, making Tony Stark both envious and jealous.
As for Susan, who managed to capture photos of Superman every time, she quickly became a treasure at CBB Television.
She was showered with dazzling benefits and privileges, with no conditions too grand for her to name, as they feared she might be poached by another station.
This made the young reporter happy for quite some time, and she considered Lin Feng her good friend and benefactor.
One day, after once again saving an out-of-control school bus full of children, Lin Feng and Susan, as usual, sat at a coffee shop to admire the newly taken photos.
The photos showed Lin Feng lifting the runaway school bus with his hands, a happy scene of Lin Feng half-squatting surrounded by elementary school students, and his broad back as he flew towards the sky after resolving the incident.
The shooting angles were very professional, with each photo highlighting Superman's strength, friendliness, and helpfulness.
Susan browsed through the photos, occasionally exclaiming, "Lin! Every time I see you use your powers, I find it incredible."
"You are truly, so powerful..." Susan spared no expense in her praise and admiration, her eyes towards Lin Feng sparkling with 'little stars'.
"Hehehe, not that amazing, really," Lin Feng said, scratching his head shyly and with feigned humility.
Internally, however, he was jumping with joy and shouting: "Awesome! I am the greatest!"
After finishing the photos, Susan took a sip of her coffee and suddenly seemed to recall something, becoming a bit flustered and looking at Lin Feng several times as if she had something to say but hesitated.
"What's wrong, Susan?" Lin Feng noticed this and asked with a hint of confusion.
"Lin..." Susan's cheeks flushed slightly. She took a deep breath, as if making a decision, and said, "After work tomorrow, could you go shopping and watch a movie with me?"
After saying this, she lowered her head, staring at her coffee, and waited for Lin Feng's reply.
*Thump-thump-thump!* Lin Feng's sharp senses detected Susan's rapidly increasing heart rate.
What's going on? Is she sick? It doesn't seem like it...
Seeing Susan's shy demeanor and combined with her words, Lin Feng pondered for a moment. He thought he understood, but wasn't entirely sure, and finally probed tentatively, "Are you... asking me on a date?"
Hearing Lin Feng ask so directly, Susan's face turned even redder! Internally, she exclaimed how much of a "straight man" Lin Feng was for saying it out loud!
"I have to go back and submit the photos to the TV station. Goodbye..." With those words, Susan, her face flushed, darted away like a "whoosh." Lin Feng was left alone in the coffee shop, lost in thought.
"Damn it! I can't believe it, Host. Is your denseness on the same level as being made of steel?" the system's voice popped out, scolding him with an exasperated tone.
"Huh? You stupid system, what do you mean?" Since Lin Feng started earning more and more renown points, the system seemed to have evolved from a monkey to a human, its emotions becoming increasingly rich, to the point where it could now argue with Lin Feng.
"That girl obviously likes you! She was too embarrassed to say it directly, and you..."
"Are you asking me on a date?!" the system mockingly imitated Lin Feng's tone.
"Damn it..." Lin Feng clenched his fists and spat, "Can you stop imitating me! I really want to punch you!"
"And you can't blame me! I've been single since birth for almost 22 years, and I have no experience!" Lin Feng made a weak defense.
"You're proud of being single for 22 years?" the system asked with contempt. "Do you know why you're still single? Look at your 'steel' problem."
"Okay, okay... My bad, alright..." Lin Feng sighed. He rarely won arguments with the system... And dating, it wouldn't really...
"Wouldn't date? No problem, I'll give you this!" With a *swish*, the system directly shoved a book into Lin Feng's hand. On the cover were four large characters: "Dating Manual!"
"That will be 100 renown points, thank you for your patronage!"
Damn it... Lin Feng was speechless. He hadn't asked to redeem this!
Didn't you say you were giving it to me? What a robber! The handsome guy was speechless.
As the sky grew darker, the streetlights along the road gradually lit up, and the pedestrians on the street began to increase. The small coffee shop became even livelier.
Lin Feng walked out of the coffee shop, heading home as if on a stroll.
However, his mind uncontrollably recalled the days he had spent with the young reporter Susan.
The young reporter was undeniably beautiful. Her slightly curly golden hair cascaded softly over her shoulders, her emerald green eyes were like clear lake water, her fair skin was flawless, and her figure was excellent. She had curves where they should be and was slender where she should be.
She was, in essence, Lin Feng's ideal type.
If you asked Lin Feng if he liked her, he could only say that the young reporter's smile was very captivating.
Moreover, during this period, they spent more and more time together as she filmed him.
At some point, both of them had gotten used to going to a coffee shop after their photo sessions, enjoying coffee and admiring the recently taken pictures.
Neither of them noticed that the boundaries of friendship had begun to blur.
Lin Feng, single for 22 years, had a realization at that moment! It is often said that those in the midst of happiness do not know their fortune; clarity comes from an outsider's perspective.
From a third-person viewpoint, he and Susan were like a couple!
Mom! I'm not single anymore! Lin Feng shed tears of joy.
He took out his phone, found Susan's number, and edited a message.
"I'll pick you up after work tomorrow!"
Yeah! After sending the message, Lin Feng excitedly ran to an empty spot, changed into his suit, and soared into the sky, flying home in an 'S' and 'B' shaped trajectory.
