Chapter 3: A New Image of Self-Determination

After clicking all the skill points, Kevin looked at the plus sign that didn't light up, and felt a wave of emptiness.

How should I put it? After clicking the skills, Kevin didn't feel anything special, but he vaguely felt that he did seem to be a little stronger.

It's just... a little subtle.

But no matter what, Kevin couldn't be stupid enough to stab himself to test his physique and self-healing ability.

But there are two other abilities that can be tried.

The first is the form switching.

After Kevin used it, the cheeks that gave him a headache disappeared.

Standing in front of the mirror, Kevin looked at the eight abdominal muscles on his chest and was very satisfied.

Although he lost money, he gained a healthy body, which seems to be pretty good.

Then there is water flow control.

Well, this ability is not as powerful as Kevin imagined, perhaps because it is only at the second level, Kevin can only create water flow to condense a few arrows, or a few water balls.

The power... is almost equivalent to a crossbow, but that's it.

I can only say that it's barely enough.

"I have completed all the skill points, so the question now is... how can I get new skill points?"

After admiring his current body, Kevin touched his stubbled chin and thought.

He frowned again while touching it, thought about it, ran to the bathroom, picked up a razor and shaved off all the stubble on his chin.

"Wouldn't it be much more handsome this way? I really don't know what the former Shenhai was thinking. He was obviously handsome without the beard, but he kept the stupid stubble..."

Looking at the handsome guy in the mirror, Kevin complained in his heart.

He wondered if the original Shenhai didn't want to steal the limelight from the protagonist?

But the problem is that the protagonist of the original book is not handsome either.

I don't understand.

Buzz-buzz-

Just after finishing the skill points and tidying up his image, Kevin's phone started to vibrate.

He subconsciously picked up the phone next to the washstand and chose to answer it:

"Hello?"

"Deep Sea! What are you doing?!"

"???"

What happened to me?

Kevin was called as soon as he answered the phone, and was a little confused for a moment.

Just as he was about to speak, the woman on the other end of the phone lowered her voice and said:

"Did you oversleep? Have you forgotten what day it is today? The reporters are already here! Our new girls are on their way! As a result, you who are responsible for welcoming the newcomers are still dawdling at home?!"

"Uh... Madeline, let me explain..."

"I don't need to explain! Ten minutes! I want you to rush to the scene now! Otherwise, I will let the locomotive host this handover ceremony!"

Click.

The phone was hung up instantly, and Kevin also remembered what he had to do today.

"… Uh, today seems to be the first day that Xingguang joined the Seven... I actually forgot about it."

Through memory, Kevin remembered that today was the day that Xingguang joined the Seven in the original book.

It was also the day that the original Seven member, the Lamplighter, officially retired.

But the Lamplighter was not present. The retirement ceremony and the handover ceremony for the new members were all in the charge of Shenhai.

According to the time plan, Shenhai should have arrived at the venue and recited the speech prepared in advance.

As a result...

Kevin, who had just crossed over, actually forgot about it.

"It's not my fault. Anyone who has a golden finger has to study it for a while first. Uh... Now the problem is not this..."

Kevin looked at himself in the mirror, and then at the fine stubble shaved off by the razor, and suddenly felt a little bad.

Before, he thought that Shenhai didn't want to take care of himself, so he put some stupid stubble on his chin.

But now that I think about it, the Vought Company behind the Super Seven will not ignore the image of the superheroes.

In other words, the image of the Deep Sea was carefully designed by the Vought Company.

And now, Kevin has completely destroyed this carefully designed image.

"Uh... they... should be able to accept my new image, right?"

Looking at himself in the mirror, who has become several times more handsome, Kevin is a little unsure.

What should I do if I destroy the image arranged by the company's top management on my first day of work after traveling through time?

Waiting online, it's urgent.

...

Throwing the phone on the table, Madeline, the vice president of the Vought Group, let out a long breath and asked Ashley, the assistant beside her:

"Where is that girl now?"

"I just called her and she's almost there."

"When she arrives, let her go to the dressing room first, and then arrange a meeting with the Deep Sea. In addition, extend the opening of the ceremony a little bit, play more promotional videos, and try to extend the time."

"I know, I'll arrange it right away."

Ashley nodded repeatedly, took the briefcase and turned to leave Madeline's room to arrange the next matters.

After Ashley left, Madeline gently rubbed her temples to relieve her brain fatigue.

But she seemed very tired, but in fact she was not really angry with Shenhai.

After managing the superhero department for so long, Madeline has become accustomed to the unpunctuality of these superheroes.

For example, Shenhai's lateness does not happen often, but there have been a few times occasionally.

It's just that usually the schedule is colliding, which is not easy to arrange. I just don't know what Shenhai's situation is today.

Madeline is relatively recognized for Shenhai.

It's not because of his ability, but because he is the most worry-free person in the Super Seven Team besides Xuanse and Queen Maeve.

Compared with the lamplighter who once burned the grandson of the federal investigator, the locomotive that just hit someone to death, and the transparent man who is addicted to peeping, Shenhai, who just likes to chat with aquatic animals, can hardly find any shortcomings.

As for Homelander...

Madeline didn't want to comment.

After thinking about the current members of the Seven, Madeline began to think about what would happen after Starlight joined the Seven.

The retirement of the Lamplighter was inevitable. This guy has been getting out of shape in the past two years. His popularity has become the lowest in the Seven, even lower than Xuanse. It is reasonable for him to take the initiative to retire.

Just after he retired, a good girl took over his position.

Starlight, Anne January, a novice superhero who has a dream of being a superhero and is full of the vitality and vigor that a girl should have.

This reminded Madeline of Queen Maeve.

When Queen Maeve was recruited, she was also like Starlight, positive about everything and full of enthusiasm for the job of superhero.

...I don't know when she became a workaholic. Apart from the necessary work arranged by the company, she doesn't care about anything else.

Knock, knock, knock——

While Madeline was thinking, someone knocked on the door. She casually said "Come in", and the person outside pushed the door open. Then Shenhai's voice sounded:

"Ahem, um, Madeline, is there anything I can do?"

Shenhai's tone seemed a little strange, but Madeline didn't care. She took the prepared speech and said:

"You are finally here. Memorize this manuscript quickly and go meet the new girl... WTF!? What's wrong with you?!"

Madeline looked up while talking. After seeing Shenhai's current appearance, she couldn't help but swear.

Shenhai was still wearing the dark green scale hero suit designed by the company, and his body shape had not changed much.

But when the eyes focused on his face, a very obvious difference could be seen.

His chin, which had stubble, was now smooth, without a single beard left.

And this was the reason why Madeline swore.
