Marvel: My Luck Is A Hundred Million Points Better!-Chapter 156: Never Suffered The Beating Of Society.

A Birthday Celebration

Polaris spoke excitedly.

Although Luo Bai understood her enthusiasm, he couldn't help but say, "It's your birthday today. You shouldn't be the one cooking."

"That's right," Wanda chimed in quickly. "You just need to relax and wait for dinner."

Pepper also agreed, saying, "Just stay here. I've already arranged for a chef to come over, and they'll be here soon. Tony said he'll be coming later as well."

Hearing everyone insist, Polaris sighed with a hint of regret. "If that's the case, then I'll just have to cook next time."

At that moment, everyone had been busy decorating the room.

Today was Polaris' birthday, and they all wanted to create a lively atmosphere.

Now that Luo Bai had arrived, they decided to pause for a moment.

"Hello, Luo Bai. It's been a long time." Pepper greeted him with a warm smile.

Out of politeness, Luo Bai also greeted her. "Hello, Ms. Potts. I heard from Tony that you're getting married soon, is that right?"

When the topic of her wedding was brought up, Pepper couldn't hide the smile on her face.

She nodded and replied, "Yes, it's scheduled for next month. You must come! Tony cares about you a lot—he's told me more than once that you're his best friend."

Luo Bai smiled, nodding. "Of course, I'll be there."

But just as he finished speaking, Pepper's expression turned a little worried.

"Tony told me that Earth seems to be in danger recently," she said with concern. "He's so worried that he's been spending almost every day in his underground lab, working on upgrading his suits. I'm worried about him... and about the planet."

Saying this, she walked over to the sofa and sat down.

The others followed, taking seats as well.

It was clear from their expressions that they were all deeply concerned about the situation.

Seeing this, Luo Bai smiled and reassured her, "I did tell Tony that Earth might face an invasion in the future, but these things aren't a real problem. So you don't need to worry too much."

"The issue with Thanos has already been resolved. He won't be coming back to Earth anytime soon."

"As for Galactus... dealing with him might be more troublesome, but it's still not an insurmountable problem."

"I've already told Tony this. But you know how he is—he cares deeply about Earth's safety, so he puts too much pressure on himself."

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Pepper finally relaxed a little.

From the side, Quicksilver chuckled and said, "If you ask me, there's nothing to worry about. Earth is protected by the Sorcerer Supreme. Besides, we in the Justice League aren't just for show."

At the sight of Quicksilver, Luo Bai was reminded of something.

Smiling, he asked, "Have you joined the X-Men?"

Quicksilver thought for a moment before explaining, "Last time, when I was possessed by Chthon, I accidentally gained the ability to move at high speeds. Somehow, Professor X found out about it and invited me to join. I wanted to improve my abilities, so I accepted."

Worried that Luo Bai might mind, Quicksilver quickly clarified before Luo Bai could speak.

"I only joined because I wanted to train. Back when I was with the Justice League, I didn't get many chances to fight."

Luo Bai smiled and responded, "I understand. I don't mind."

"The Justice League is responsible for protecting Earth, but they also have to deal with extraterrestrial threats. Under normal circumstances, they don't interfere much with Earth's smaller-scale conflicts."

"It's good that you joined the X-Men for training. How's it going so far?"

At the mention of his training, Quicksilver immediately perked up.

"I can now reach speeds of 800,000 kilometers per hour!" he said excitedly.

Luo Bai raised an eyebrow. "800,000 kilometers per hour?" He frowned slightly before commenting, "That's... not fast enough."

"Not fast enough?" Quicksilver was stunned. "Are you saying my speed isn't impressive?"

Luo Bai shook his head. "Compared to most people with superpowers, your speed is indeed remarkable. But... it's still far from what I expected."

Quicksilver was still young, and like many young people, he had a certain level of pride.

Hearing Luo Bai say that his speed wasn't enough, he couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced.

"At the very least, I don't think there's anyone else on Earth with superpowers who can outrun me," he said confidently.

Luo Bai didn't argue—he simply smiled.

For some reason, that smile irritated Quicksilver.

Feeling like his pride was on the line, he quickly said, "Sorcerer Supreme, I admit that your magic is incredibly powerful. But if we're only talking about speed, I don't think you can beat me. How about a race?"

Hearing this, Polaris frowned.

"Quicksilver, how can you speak to Master Luo Bai like that?!" she scolded.

Wanda also chimed in, "Quicksilver!"

After being reprimanded by both Polaris and Wanda, Quicksilver shrugged and spread his hands.

"I get it, I get it. You all think he's amazing. But if we're talking pure speed—without magic—I still think I'm faster. If not, we'll find out with a race."

Luo Bai chuckled and asked, "And how exactly do you want to compete?"

Quicksilver's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Let's race to see who's faster! The only rule is—no magic. Just raw speed."

But it's hard to say now.

After all, Luo Bai had absorbed all the power from Silver Surfer.

The Silver Surfer's speed was far beyond Quicksilver's.

At normal speed, he could reach the speed of light.

If he pushed a little harder, he could even enter hyperspace.

There was no way Luo Bai could lose this race.

But Quicksilver was still young—he had never truly been humbled by reality.

Luo Bai decided it was time for him to experience a harsh lesson.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai nodded and said, "Let's use this spot as the finish line. We'll race around the Earth once and see who gets back first. How about that?"

Quicksilver nodded confidently. "Alright!"

Then, turning to Polaris, Wanda, and Pepper, he said excitedly, "How about you three be our referees?"

The three women nodded.

With official witnesses, Luo Bai was happy to entertain Quicksilver's challenge.

"To be honest, I've wanted to race you for a long time," Quicksilver admitted. "I respect you, Sorcerer Supreme, but I really want to see who's faster between us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Polaris called out, "3, 2, 1, start!"

The moment she finished, Quicksilver hadn't even fully reacted—

But Luo Bai had already shot out like a streak of light.

And in the blink of an eye—

He was back in his original spot.

Quicksilver: "???"

He stared at Luo Bai in complete shock.

Before he could even process what had happened, Luo Bai casually said, "Alright, I'm done."

Quicksilver: "????"

I... what the...?!

Ah??
