# Chapter 157: Salted Egg Superman
He couldn't wait to jump out of bed and test it out!
Jiangnan flicked his wrist!
A transparent chain as thick as a pinky finger shot out!
It danced and twisted like a magic serpent, controlled at will!
As natural as an extension of his body!
Similar in concept to Zhou Laifu's steel wire!
Completely composed of space energy, extremely tough!
What was even more interesting?
Jiangnan could control the Void Chain to become completely invisible!
To anyone but himself, it was undetectable!
He could even anchor it to a fixed point in space!
Jiangnan opened the window and shot his hand outward!
The Void Chain extended about 300 meters, with one end anchored in the void!
"Holy crap! Spider-Man, is that acceptable?"
He then controlled the Void Chain to retract!
Pulling his body, he flew out of the room!
His body hung upside down like Spider-Man, 300 meters up in the air!
Comfortable~
The neighbor's kid pointed at the window, eyes sparkling: "Mommy! Mommy! Spider-Man! Dudu-Man wow!"
Mom: "Alright, alright! You want to watch Piggy-Man, right? The one with the lollipop and red tight suit?"
"I'll find the DVD for you!"
Kid: ???
...
After testing his new spiritual skill, Jiangnan returned to the room, deep in thought.
Maximum extension: about 300 meters.
Couldn't go through space wormholes; the two repelled each other. Jiangnan couldn't figure out the principle.
And he could only operate two at a time; any more and they wouldn't come out.
Though as thick as a pinky, its cutting power wasn't as good as steel wire.
But the invisibility feature was very useful.
Jiangnan lay in bed, grinning to himself, and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, he didn't even go to school.
It was the weekend.
Xia Yao's face had swollen even more overnight.
She was currently wrapped in a blanket, watching TV on the sofa.
"You can eat some Vitality Ginseng! It'll reduce the swelling!"
Xia Yao turned and glared at Jiangnan: "I'm not eating that, it'll make my nose bleed!"
She turned back and jumped in surprise. Jiangnan was wearing long pants, a hoodie, a mask, and sunglasses—all covered up tight.
"You're going out?"
"Yeah, gonna get some furniture."
"Bring me back some ice cream, chocolate flavor."
Jiangnan: "Black on black?"
[A wave of resentment from Xia Yao: +666]
...
Was Jiangnan really going to get furniture?
Mm...
That was a secondary goal.
His main goal was to cash in some money!
That 50 million grand lotto ticket was still in his pocket!
Hammer Brother's selfless contribution—he had to cash it in!
Walking along, Jiangnan spotted a shop on the corner.
Children's Fun Land.
...
At that moment, at the Jiangcheng Grand Lotto ticket station hall!
A crowd of reporters and lottery players had gathered.
"Hello everyone, I'm reporter Hu Shuo!"
"Based on our investigation, we can confirm that the winning number for the 50 million cash prize was issued from this shop!"
"The redemption deadline is noon today, but so far, the winner hasn't shown up!"
"Did they forget the deadline? Or did they not notice the winning number?"
"Time is ticking away. Will they miss this windfall?"
The crowd that had come to watch was also buzzing with discussion.
After all, it had been about three and a half years since anyone had hit all the numbers in the Grand Lotto!
And a 50 million prize, landing in Jiangcheng—it was definitely news!
"It seems everyone is very curious about the winner! Half an hour left until the deadline. He..."
"I heard you redeem the prize here?"
Suddenly, the whole place went silent.
No—stunned speechless!
A figure in an Ultraman suit burst into the camera frame!
Clutching a crumpled lottery ticket!
Hu Shuo: ???
Spectators: ???
Holy crap!
Is that Tiga or Zero?
Did he need to be this airtight in his disguise?
Was he really that afraid of relatives borrowing money?
People claiming prizes usually wear a mask or a stocking cap at most.
But this god-tier guy went all out with a full Ultraman suit! 360-degree no-blind-spot protection!
And he even had a blue light on his chest!
Are you serious?
At home, Xia Yao, casually flipping channels, happened to land on Jiangcheng TV.
The moment she saw the Ultraman claiming the prize, she spit out a mouthful of salty soda!
The lottery station manager rushed over, looked at the ticket—it was the winning number!
He was shocked on the spot!
"This is it! This is it!"
Hu Shuo cleared her throat. As an experienced reporter, she'd seen it all.
"Hello! I'm Hu Shuo, TV reporter. May I ask your name?"
Jiangnan: ???
Wasn't this the same idiot reporter who interviewed him at the fire scene and called herself a Magic Girl?
Didn't she see he'd come in costume?
It was to hide his identity!
And she still asked his name?
Jiangnan cleared his throat: "Listen up, and remember this well!"
Hu Shuo nodded expectantly.
"Salted Egg Superman!"
Hu Shuo: ???
The crowd of onlookers was dumbfounded too!
[A wave of resentment from Hu Shuo: +1000]
Seriously!
Could you be any more lame?
Hu Shuo flashed an awkward but polite smile at the camera.
"It seems this gentleman doesn't want to reveal his real name!"
"May I ask, now that you've won 50 million, are you happy?"
Jiangnan paused: "What does that have to do with anything?"
Hu Shuo: "How could it not?"
Jiangnan: "I just told you, my surname is Salted Egg! Salted Egg Superman!"
What?
Did winning 50 million mean he had to change his surname to Happy?
Happy Egg Superman?
That sounds terrible!
Hu Shuo froze for three seconds before it clicked.
What the heck, she was asking if his surname was Happiness?
And this Superman—had his Chinese teacher died too young?
[A wave of resentment from Hu Shuo: +1000]
Could you please follow the script? This is live TV!
"Ahem... So, what do you plan to do with the money? Buy a house? A car? Or..."
"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~"
Jiangnan looked down—the blue light on his chest had turned red!
"Oh no! Running out of energy! I need to get back to my home planet to recharge!"
"Is the prize redeemed?"
Hu Shuo: !!!
Running out of energy? What the heck?
Go back to your home planet to recharge?
Could you commit to the role any harder?
If he pulled out a transformation device, she'd believe it!
Her composure shattered completely.
The lottery station manager said grimly: "It's done. After taxes, 40 million. It's been transferred to the card number you gave."
Jiangnan grinned.
The moment he stepped off the platform, a group of people in suits and ties rushed over!
"Hey! Don't go! Salted Egg Superman, want to buy a house? Three bedrooms, one living room in Yulong Bay—discounts now!"
"Superman! Superman! I have a first-hand listing! I'll give you a deal!"
"Superman! Here's my card!"
"I'm Manager Wang Zihua from Tangcheng Bieyuan Sales Prince. If you need anything, feel free to contact me!"
Jiangnan took the card: "Alright! Manager Hua!"
Sales Prince?
Tsk, probably can get a better discount than others!
"Sorry, Superman, my surname is Wang."
[A wave of resentment from Wang Zihua: +1000]
