Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 105 - 105 22 Starting Off on the Right Foot

105: Chapter 22: Starting Off on the Right Foot 105: Chapter 22: Starting Off on the Right Foot Saturday, 9:30 AM.

Shiyu Lianyi was sitting in the driver’s seat of a bright red sports car.

A zealous Superpower User had told him that the car he had borrowed especially for today’s mission “could almost solve all sudden problems.” It had an automatic driving feature and a tracking mode, which was convenient for tailing tasks; through an app on his phone, the driver could remotely control the car using voice commands; its jet engine allowed for acceleration that “frightened the enemy,” and the glide wings hidden on both sides were enough to maintain a short flight at high speeds; it was built with sufficient firepower to eliminate most obstacles with missiles within half a minute; in the worst scenario of being surrounded, its bottom-press transformation feature would also provide a huge surprise for its enemies.

Deep down, Shiyu Lianyi hoped he wouldn’t need to use any of the car’s extra features today.

The reason he hadn’t firmly declined his friend’s kind offer was that the sleek sports car indeed looked cool, the type Kardesia would like.

If only it didn’t come with those features Gongsun Ce introduced.

Where on earth did he find such a thing?

“Go pick her up in the sports car, Mr.

Shiyu!”

He must never let Kardesia touch the steering wheel, not even for a second.

After reminding himself of this crucial point, Shiyu Lianyi started the engine amid his friends’ cheers.

“This is…”

The red sports car was traveling on the main road of the Fixed Wing District, and the young man in the suit was slightly surprised.

The feel of this car was much more comfortable than the “special vehicles” he had driven before; he could hardly detect the noise from the custom engine, and the extra weight from internal arms even enhanced the stability of the drive.

He remembered a gray-haired youth had mentioned this morning that he had specially spent time adjusting the car last night, and he felt somewhat touched.

Gongsun Ce’s voice came through the mental link: (How does it feel?)

(It’s a great car.)

He responded with a smile, feeling a bit of the tension ease.

Even though everyone seemed unreliable on a regular basis, and even though they hadn’t come up with a complete plan yesterday, the intention to support his romance was genuine.

It was just an ordinary date…

With his friends’ help, it was bound to be successful.

(Qiluo just reported in; Kardesia entered the elevator!

Get ready.)

The sports car gracefully turned into a side street and stopped at the main entrance of Kardesia’s apartment.

The young man took a deep breath, reviewing his friends’ status to relieve pressure.

Gongsun Ce, in charge of remote command, was leaping across rooftops to surveil the situation; Qianbai, strong in action, was handling potential unexpected issues in the surroundings; Qiluo, who could make herself nearly undetectable with her powers, was reporting on time points and locations close by.

Handling unexpected events from afar, midrange, and close by…

this arrangement was flawless…

(She’s coming out now, give her a surprise in 4 seconds!)

Shiyu Lianyi hesitated.

(Gongsun, I still feel like rolling down the window and chatting her up would seem very much like…

you know, the rich young masters you see in movies.)

The gray-haired youth’s voice was filled with disappointment.

(So what do you plan to do?

Get out of the car ahead of time like before and open the door for her?)

(Um.)

(You’re dating, not being her butler!

It’s good to be different than what you’re used to; the focus of this operation is to change her perception of you.

Only if she sees you differently will this woman think differently about you, my friend!)

…The hard part was, he couldn’t find a reason to argue.

Gongsun Ce encouraged.

(Come on, be proactive and change your image, otherwise she really won’t consider you a romantic prospect!)

It was time for a change…!

Shiyu Lianyi made his decision.

(Alright, she’s out of the apartment now, go!)

The young man in the suit rolled down the window, rested his left arm on the sill, and flashed a confident, proactive smile toward the apartment’s main door.

“Good morning, I wanted to change how I come across, so I’ve prepared a little surprise for you.

Do you like the car?”

What would Kardesia’s response be?

Given her personality, she would probably scream in surprise and then jokingly say it didn’t suit her style.

Shiyu Lianyi looked into the girl’s eyes.

She was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt today, the fitted look accentuating her slender figure, and her blue long hair, different from usual, made her look particularly mature today.

However, the emotions in her eyes were somewhat different from what he had expected…

Wait.

Hold on.

Blue, long hair?

Shiyu Lianyi’s smile froze on his face.

Kardesia’s figure wasn’t this good, Kardesia rarely wore plain T-shirts, Kardesia always carried her hat when she went out, and Kardesia never dyed her hair…

This quite familiar woman, who was standing in front of the car window, stepping back with her arms crossed and a troubled expression…

(Damn it why is it Shiyu Ling AAHHHH?!!)

It’s not Sister Ling!!

Shiyu Ling stepped back, still holding her arms.

“Ah, it has changed, indeed it has, I…

must admit, even I feel terrified…

what are you trying to do, you guy…”

Why did you come out instead of Kardesia?!
