Chapter 181 ID Card, Superhero Association Special APP, Hero Community

"Uh...are you sure you said 'Blue Crow'?"

Blue Owl stared at Che Zhengchen through the lenses, trying to confirm whether he had heard it wrong.

"That's right." Che Zhengchen smiled, "I'm just asking you if you want to meet Qing Ya alone. Maybe after getting close to him, you can have a new understanding of him."

Hearing this, the blue owl lowered its head and leaned sideways on the swivel chair, following the chair's rotation, and the bird's beak on the mask returned to its original position.

He thought in his mind.

Is this true? We've only met for a few days and Che Zhengchen is already in a hurry to set me up with Qing Ya. Could it be that he has agreed with my dad to open my box together?

That's exactly what I want. Although I don't want other people in the association to know my identity, I am willing to let Commander Che and my father know my identity.

After all, I have already removed the parasites from Commander Che's body, so there is no need to worry about him being controlled by Gastro and revealing my information.

Thinking of this, although Blue Owl felt that this was an easy job, he still symbolically declined it, just like accepting red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

"Uh... before I answer this question, I want to ask you first," he tilted his head and asked carefully, "Commander Che, are you sure Qing Ya wants to see me alone?"

"I looked at the surveillance footage provided by the authorities. When you were about to fall to the ground yesterday, Qing Ya saved you."

"Are you kidding? If it was any other superhero, he would still save him. Or..." Blue Owl paused and said disapprovingly, "Commander Che, do you think Blue Crow is the kind of person who would watch someone die without rescuing him? Moreover, he would watch a vigilante die without rescuing him. This is not in line with his style. Well, not at all."

Che Zhengchen was silent for a moment and smiled slightly, "But he also talked to you: If he saved other superheroes, he might not give them any advice."

"Is it possible that you brought him into the Super Hero Association and served as his commander for a while, so you are old friends with him."

Blue Owl spread his hands and said, "So essentially, he knew that I was in danger because I wanted to save you, so for your sake, he said a few more words to me. Got it? There's really no need to over-interpret it."

"That's a possibility."

Che Zhengchen took a sip of tea and said calmly, "But in all these years, I have never seen him interact with other superheroes. It seems that he still cares about you, the 'copycat'."

Hearing this, Blue Owl sighed, rested his elbows on the armrests of the swivel chair, held his forehead with his hands, and said unhappily.

"Oh my god, you know, I feel like we are talking about high school boys who say, 'Oh, that girl must be interested in you, she never talks to boys', and Qing Ya is the iceberg beauty in class who doesn't talk much but has excellent grades and is envied by other students."

"Hehe, hehe..." Che Zhengchen was amused, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Anyway, I should be able to help you get a chance to meet Qing Ya alone. You just need to answer me, are you willing to meet him?"

Blue Owl lowered his head and was silent for two or three seconds, then he said, "Isn't this nonsense? Of course I want to see him, otherwise what's the point of wearing this combat uniform?"

He paused and said, "Instead of asking me, you might as well ask him if he is willing to see me."

"That's enough." Che Zhengchen shrugged and said calmly, "I think he wanted to talk to you, but he just didn't find the right time. Don't look at Qing Ya's appearance. In fact, apart from work, he is a very awkward person. Uh... to put it bluntly, he is a repressed person."

"Haha, aren't you afraid that a crow will suddenly break the glass and kidnap you from the office?"

"Not really. I'm more afraid that a spider-like man will break the glass and kidnap me. I have a psychological trauma like this." Che Zhengchen teased.

"Okay, that's true."

After saying that, Blue Owl was silent for a moment. Although he knew that he would be able to have dinner with Comrade Blue Crow when he returned home, he still asked to deceive himself.

"So when can I meet Green Crow?"

Che Zhengchen opened his mouth and said in a rather subtle tone: "Well... I don't know when he will pay attention to me, but it shouldn't take more than a month or two."

"One or two months is too much. You two are old friends. Does he have to be so cold and violent to you?"

"This is his habit of doing things. It's not about cold violence or not. Oh, I don't really understand the thinking of you young people."

Blue Owl asked with concern: "Commander Che, there should be nothing wrong with your body, right? For example, did the Dice Monster implant nanomachines, or eavesdropping devices or trackers into your body during the time he captured you?"

"No, after Qing Ya brought me back, he immediately had someone check my body with sophisticated instruments."

"The results of it?"

Che Zhengchen smiled and replied, "The result is that apart from a minor fracture, there is nothing wrong with my body. So it is impossible for you to say that the dice monster has done something to me, unless its methods are so powerful that they can be concealed from the detection equipment provided by the Control Bureau."

"I see."

Blue Owl pondered for a moment, pretending to think, and said, "By the way... Regarding the recent popular mass riot, I secretly observed in the alley before and found that someone vomited out a kind of black worms, and those worms crawled into another person's mouth. It seems that the rioting group was controlled by those parasites that drilled into their bodies."

He raised his eyes to look at Che Zhengchen, his tone gradually becoming strange: "Commander Che, could it be that the dice monster did that, and then it kidnapped you in order to put a parasite into your body?"

Hearing this, Che Zhengchen let out a long sigh and spoke slowly.

"Regarding that parasite, the Super Hero Association has announced the progress of its investigation today, saying that this parasite will not attack superhumans, so every non-superhuman commander and ordinary staff member in the association was tested and confirmed that they were not parasitized by the parasite."

He paused and said, "I am also an ordinary person, so I am also on the association's testing list. But fortunately, the test showed that there is no sign of parasites in my body."

"Since it has nothing to do with the parasite and your body hasn't changed at all, then why did this dice monster capture you?"

Blue Owl pondered, sounding quite confused.

"I don't know. Maybe it's to remind me to change my glasses. I've been wearing those glasses for a long time."

Che Zhengchen laughed self-deprecatingly and continued, "My son gave it to me, that is... Hui Ge. He got his first salary from the Super Hero Association, so he bought me that pair of glasses as a gift. Over the years, although my eyesight has deteriorated a lot, I have never changed my glasses."

Blue Owl was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he wanted to eat his fingers. He thought to himself that the bad guy was really a beast. He threw away the gift given by the dismembered son and suggested that he change a pair of glasses. Is this what a human being does?
This is a pure joke from hell...

Both of them in the office were silent for a moment, and then Blue Owl was about to express his opinion to comfort the commander who had lost his son, but was interrupted by Che Zhengchen.

"Actually, it's good to change a pair of glasses. At least the prescription is right."

Che Zhengchen teased himself in a self-deprecating tone, easing the atmosphere.

Seeing this, Blue Owl quickly changed the subject to prevent the atmosphere from becoming more awkward.

"Then Commander Che, does the government have any countermeasures for those parasites? We can't have everyone undergo surgery to remove the parasites in order, right?"

"It's impossible to do that. It's too laborious. The medical staff around Beijing can't afford it." Che Zhengchen said, "Besides, there are already methods to remove those parasites without harm: they seem to be very afraid of noise, so we can use an ultrasonic device based on the principle of sonar to force them out of the host's body, and then eliminate them all at once."

Blue Owl thought for a moment and said, "Can we use this equipment for broadcasting? If all the parasites in the city can hear the sounds, won't the bugs in their bodies all come out at once?"

"It's still impossible. That would cause massive chaos, and it's not that easy to force the bugs out. According to the association, a series of sophisticated operations are required to remove the bugs. Simply broadcasting audio on the radio won't be enough to force the bugs out."

Blue Owl clasped his hands together on the chair, leaned back against the backrest, and sighed.

"I understand. So what should we do? We can't just stage a Dawn of the Dead or Resident Evil 10 in the city in a few days, right?"

When asked this question, Che Zhengchen had no choice but to say, "We can only use the dumbest method and let the people undergo equipment testing one by one."

"But there are so many people around Beijing. If those infected just stay at home and don't come out for testing, won't we still be able to find them?"

"That's why it's very troublesome." Che Zhengchen shook his head and sighed, "The headquarters is still thinking of a solution. Anyway, this is not something we should worry about."

Blue Owl suggested: "Is there a possibility that instead of thinking about how to force the bugs out of the masses, it is better to find the person who first spread the bugs and find a way to make the bugs lose their ability to act from his mouth."

Che Zhengchen nodded: "This is the most practical method, but there are no clues yet. The association is doing its best to track them down, and Qing Ya seems to be involved in this matter as well."

Dad is here too, that makes me feel safe. No matter how strong the vampire hunter organization behind Gastro is, the combat power on my side should not be inferior to his.

Blue Owl thought secretly.

"Then let's not talk about this matter anymore, let's talk about the first reason why I came to you."

Hearing this, Blue Owl looked up at Che Zhengchen from behind his glasses, "What's the matter?"

"Here." Che Zhengchen said, taking out a card wrapped in a protective cover from the drawer and pushing it towards Blue Owl. Then he crossed his hands and placed them on his chin, smiling at him, "This is your ID card. Congratulations. From today on, you are a member of the Super Hero Association, an E-class superhero: Blue Owl."

Blue Owl took the ID card and glanced at it with his head down.

As stated on the Internet, there is an identification code made of special materials on the top. Generally speaking, it is extremely difficult to forge an association ID card because the manufacturing method of that special material is only in the hands of the association's top management.

“What can this card do?”

As he asked, he flipped over the front and back of the card: the front recorded his code name, serial number in the association, and hero level; the back had the classic logo of the Superhero Association, "S·H·A".

"You can enter and exit the association freely without the need for permission from the commander, that is, me. At the same time, you can use your ID card to log in to the association's official app. On the app, you can make friends with superheroes from all over the world, chat and interact with them in the forum set up by the association, and receive mission notifications in the first place."

Che Zhengchen took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then slowly introduced it.

"If you have enough mission points, you can also exchange them for currency, advanced combat equipment, gene enhancers, etc. in the APP store."

Blue Owl raised an eyebrow: "Gene enhancer?"

Che Zhengchen had a blank expression on his face when he talked about the previous part, but he became excited when he talked about this part. Maybe this gene enhancer could be used to improve panel attributes.

"It's a drug used to increase the physical strength of people with special abilities or mutants." Che Zhengchen explained with a smile, "Don't worry, it's very safe. It just can't be mass-produced, so the association encourages heroes to use mission points to redeem them, the more work, the more pay."

Blue Owl said "Oh" in surprise, and then asked, "Then the effect of this enhancer should have an upper limit, right?"

"Of course." Che Zhengchen said, giving an example, "For example, the strength of Qing Ya should have almost reached the upper limit that can be achieved with enhancers."

"Okay, I got the general idea."

Blue Owl nodded, thinking secretly in his heart: It will only become ineffective when I reach the A-level superhuman species. Before that, I can always rely on taking gene enhancers to enhance my three attributes. Compared with other players, I have one more advantage.

"In addition to this, the Super Hero Association APP has many other functions. You can study them yourself when the time comes." Che Zhengchen added.

"Okay." Blue Owl paused, "But you won't use the app to find out the location of my phone, right? Then my identity will be exposed, right?"

Che Zhengchen shook his head. "Not really. This app is very secretive. Only the founder of the Super Hero Association can mobilize location information. It's not usually done unless it's an emergency."

Blue Owl was still a little worried, but he said, "I understand. That's it."

"Then one last thing." Che Zhengchen crossed his hands and rested them on his chin. "Would you like me to be your commander, Blue Owl?"

Blue Owl raised an eyebrow and gave the other man an amused look. "What are you talking about? Of course. If you hadn't come to me, I would probably still be a vigilante now."

"So... from today on, you are officially a member of the Platinum Wings team." Che Zhengchen smiled, "The three of them are waiting for you outside the office, go out and talk to them."
