Matthew Atkinson
London
Matthew thought his movements were inconspicuous.
But, unexpectedly, at this moment, most of Natalie Russell's attention was focused on him.
It was amusing to say that, although the girl was beautiful and a goddess in many people's eyes, her cold personality and temperament also made many boys stay away from her.
In high school, there were very few boys who really dared to pursue her and show her affection.
But when Matthew gave Natalie the Flame-Flame Fruit, a rare treasure, his actions trembled the girl's heart!
She was definitely not in love with Matthew. However, Matthew's position in Natalie's heart was definitely different from that of others now.
In addition, Natalie Russell was not an ungrateful person. After obtaining the super precious Flame-Flame Fruit, she would not ignore Matthew even if it was just out of gratitude.
When she realized that Matthew was secretly fusing the Kryptonian Bloodline card, the girl was immediately shocked.
"Matthew! What are you doing?" Natalie cried out in surprise, and the flame in his palm also stopped on its own.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Matthew, who was standing next to them, and saw that this guy had already completed the fusion of the Kryptonian Bloodline Card.
The moment the fusion was complete, a figure in a red cloak appeared behind Matthew...
But this was normal. This type of phantom hero will appear no matter which extraordinary bloodline talent is fused.
Everyone has long been accustomed to it.
However, the shock of Matthew's fusion with a useless bloodline this time brought to everyone even exceeded the fire ability that Natalie Russell had just demonstrated!
Because, in everyone's opinion, this kid, Matthew, while claiming it was an exchange, was actually giving his crush the Flame-Flame Fruit, a typical act of simp behavior.
After all, since the Kryptonian Bloodline Card was considered a bizarre and useless extraordinary bloodline, no one would choose to fuse it unless they were a fool!
They never expected that Matthew would choose to merge secretly.
The shadow of the figure in the red cloak looked very oppressive, but everybody knew that it was useless!
"Fuck! This kid...is there something wrong with his brain?"
"Of course it is. Otherwise, how could a normal person do such a stupid thing?"
"After fusing useless Kryptonian Bloodline, what is he going to do? Is he voluntarily going to the Supernatural Realm to die?"
"I see. He definitely didn't want Natalie Russell to have any psychological burden, so he did this and actively sought death... He doesn't even care about his own life. A creature like a simp is truly terrifying."
"Nah, this is so extreme! A simp like this must be the most awesome one in the simp world, right? The king of simps, his title is well-deserved!"
"It was really eye-opening. Today has really opened my eyes."
…
Everyone was in an uproar.
Listening to the discussions in the audience, Natalie looked at Matthew with her beautiful eyes wide open.
'Does this boy in front of me really love me to this extent?'
'In order not to add psychological burden to me, would he rather fuse a useless bloodline and die in the Supernatural Realm?'
She couldn't believe what she was witnessing!
But the facts were right in front of her, and she had to believe it.
Apart from this reason, she really couldn't think of any other reason that would make Matthew so unwise.
"Matthew, you... I… I'm not worthy of any of these..."
Natalie stuttered.
This love was so strong that she was a little overwhelmed.
And what about Matthew! He didn't even look behind. He just ran away...
Matthew had no interest in standing on the stage and acting like a clown. Now that his goal had been achieved, everything in school was no longer important to him.
So, he ran off the school grounds.
Now, he was anxious to test the "super bloodline" he had just obtained...
However, in everyone's eyes, the way he ran away was clearly an escape after his conspiracy was exposed!
"See! I was right! I knew what this kid was really thinking."
"Mate, you're very knowledgeable! Are you also a simp?"
"I'm convinced. I was originally thinking that if I could get a good devil fruit in the holy land, I would muster up the courage to pursue Natalie Russell. Now, I am convinced by this buddy Matthew!"
"Yeah! I couldn't do that. I couldn't give an extremely rare and precious logia-type devil fruit to a girl."
"Hey! Look at Natalie, has she also moved?"
On the stage.
Natalie Russell stared at Matthew's "embarrassed departure", unable to look away for a long time...
…
After leaving the campus, Matthew took a self-driving taxi directly to the city center.
As the taxi drove along the road, he could see skyscrapers popping up one after another on both sides through the window. He could even occasionally see some aircraft flying high in the sky.
From this, he could see that the technology in this world was far superior to that of Earth.
However, at the moment, Matthew had no mood to appreciate these.
After he got into the taxi, he thought about it, and an attribute panel similar to a holographic screen appeared in his left eye.
.........
Race: Human
Constitution: 10
Mental: 11
Strength: 10
Agility: 10
Ability: Kryptonian Bloodline
Attribute Points: 0
.........
This was Matthew's current attribute panel, which was very simple.
He was pretty satisfied with the attributes of his body. For normal adult males, each attribute is around 10 to 12 points. For him to have such attributes as he has just reached adulthood shows that he was very healthy.
But the attribute panel was not Matthew's personal cheat code.
In fact, every human who has gained a supernatural ability would see an attribute panel appear in their left eye.
The panel was primarily used to record the current attributes of the supernatural person and adjust these attributes in accordance with the development of their ability and body.
After all, the supernatural opportunities within the Holy Land vary. Some favored strength, so one must focus on the strength attribute.
Others required powerful mental strength and mental capacity, so one must increase their mental attribute.
Still other extraordinary opportunities may favor speed, constitution, and so on...
Additionally, each person's attribute panel could only be viewed by themselves. However, with the panel owner's permission, it was possible for people who touch them to view the attribute panel.
When Matthew saw the "Kryptonian Bloodline" listed in the ability segment on his attribute panel, his eyes became fiery.
"I placed all my bets on you, please don't let me down!" He said quietly.
Ten minutes later, the taxi arrived at its destination.
After Matthew paid, the car door opened automatically. He got out of the car and looked up.
In front of him was a store that looked quite upscale.
The decoration of the store was full of futuristic technological style, and the name of the store was also very interesting, called "Sunshine Dream – London Branch"!
This was actually a "sunbathing" experience center.
Although humans have long been accustomed to days without sunlight, high-ranking scientists who are always prepared for danger feared that one day the star would completely disappear. So, they have been studying solar energy.
Additionally, some high-tech gadgets that occasionally appeared in the Supernatural Realm significantly enhanced scientists' research on stellar radiation.
As a result, human scientists could now simulate solar radiation with a similarity of 99%.
However, this technology was new and not yet mature enough to be applied on a large scale.
Therefore, the government established sunbathing experience stores like this one to generate revenue for scientific research projects about two years ago.
It was because Matthew knew all this that he dared to use the Flame-Flame Fruit to exchange for the Kryptonian Bloodline!
After all, 99% similarity to sunlight should also meet the energy needs of the Kryptonian body, right?
