Carl had now learned more about this world… and even the characters from My Love from the Star.
He found himself rather intrigued by the male lead, Do Min-joon.
After all, the man's identity as an alien was already fascinating enough.
And on top of that, he had a variety of superpowers.
Of course, Do Min-joon couldn't use his powers to kill.
But he was certainly not an ordinary person.
Carl couldn't help but wonder, if Professor Do were to be compared to the heroes from the Avengers, who would co out on top?
From a purely ability-based perspective,
Do Min-joon should be stronger than most of the Avengers.
After all, he had the power to freeze ti and manipulate space.
Though… his powers did have limits.
And if he ever used them to kill soone, it would cost him his own life.
Still, once he activated ti freeze, most Avengers wouldn't stand a chance against him.
Well… maybe Doctor Strange could be stronger?
Carl thought about it for a mont, he himself didn't yet possess the ability to control ti.
Which ant, in a certain sense, Do Min-joon could actually defeat him.
Not that Do Min-joon could hurt Carl's Man of Steel body…
But ti freeze was indeed a power Carl didn't yet have.
Well… until now.
As Carl pondered the alien from the drama,
the Silver Superman template within him suddenly awakened,
granting him the ability to manipulate ti.
He glanced at the empty juice bottle sitting on his desk.
With a single thought,
the once-empty bottle gradually refilled with bright orange juice.
Monts later, a bottle full to the brim sat before him, looking brand new.
Carl picked it up and took a slow sip.
『Carl』: This ability isn't bad at all.
『Carl』: Buy one bottle, drink forever.
He went back to watching his movie.
By noon, Zhao Helen returned ho for lunch.
They had already discussed it earlier, so Carl had ordered the food in advance.
Her laboratory had a long lunch break, work didn't resu until 3 PM, so there was no rush.
After eating together, they watched so TV and took a short nap.
Around 2 PM, Zhao Helen headed back to work.
That evening, she returned around 7 PM.
Carl greeted her by preparing dinner:
jade lobster, braised pork ribs, chestnut greens, and pumpkin–corn–shrimp soup.
He had followed online recipes for these dishes.
He had known how to cook a little before, but the results were… average at best.
Even Carl himself had to admit it.
But now, with his sharpened intellect,
he could perfectly reproduce any recipe after watching a single video.
Zhao Helen's eyes widened at the sight of the dinner spread.
『Zhao Helen』: You… actually know how to cook Oriental cuisine?
They had known each other for over ten years,
and she had never seen him cook like this before, breakfast aside.
『Carl』: Just learned it.
『Zhao Helen』: Alright, I'll give it a try.
She hadn't expected much from Carl's cooking skills,
but the dishes looked amazing and slled even better.
Had she not watched him bring them out one by one,
she might have suspected he ordered them in.
She took a spoonful of shrimp–corn soup.
The mont it touched her lips, the mild warmth and the fresh sweetness of shrimp spread through her mouth.
『Zhao Helen』: This is so good!
She eagerly tried the other dishes,
and every single one was a rare delicacy.
『Zhao Helen』: Wow, this is incredible! If you opened a restaurant, you'd beco a billionaire.
『Carl』: I'm already a billionaire.
Zhao Helen just focused on battling the food.
After dinner, she washed the dishes and lounged on the sofa.
By 10 PM, they got ready for bed.
Once Zhao Helen fell asleep, Carl quietly stood up.
His body vanished instantly,
reappearing monts later in the room.
He had gone to New York for his [System] daily check-in.
Then he returned to the Hanyang villa, freshened up, and went to sleep.
The next day followed the sa routine,
Carl watched movies at ho,
and at lunch t Zhao Helen near her lab.
They dined at a Korean restaurant, affordable, decent taste,
then she drove ho for a short break before returning to work.
Carl cooked dinner again that evening.
And, of course, he still did his [System] check-in.
Eight days later, Zhao Helen's lab began a major project.
She, as the deputy lead, had to work much longer hours.
Sotis, even after returning ho, she still needed to work.
She felt a little guilty.
After all, Carl had co to Korea,
yet she barely had ti to accompany him.
That night, before sleeping,
『Zhao Helen』: Sorry… I'm really busy these days. How about you go back to Arica first?
When I'm done, I'll take ti off to be with you.
『Carl』: That works. Just rember to call if anything cos up.
『Zhao Helen』: Mm.
Carl didn't want to bother her while she was busy.
And he wasn't worried about her safety,
his super vision allowed him to watch over her at any ti.
If danger arose, he could be there instantly.
The next morning, after breakfast,
Zhao Helen left for work.
Carl didn't leave imdiately.
In fact, he wasn't planning to go back to New York just yet.
Instead, he intended to visit his other girlfriend in Korea,
a 19-year-old actress nad Jang Man-wol.
They had started dating last year, when she was 18.
She had been lost during an event in Arica
and happened to et Carl by chance.
Seeing her back then… Carl had certain thoughts. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelfire(.)net
After all, she was a celebrity he had seen in his previous life,
a solo singer and actress.
Though, apart from the two dramas Carl invested in for her,
she hadn't acted much.
Her results weren't great, after deducting expenses,
she'd only earned around $100,000.
It was Carl's least profitable investnt.
But he didn't mind.
It was money spent on his girlfriend.
And she had done far better in music,
winning several awards.
