Please add it to your favorites~ Blurb: Qi Le returned from the Infinite Worlds to reality, hoping to plant flowers, walk his dog, and live an ordinary life. Unfortunately, a horde of alien monsters invaded and ate his flowers. Furious, he was about to tear them apart with his bare hands. But his neighbor beat him to it, then comforted him: "Don't be scared. I'm here." Qi Le went along with it. "Mm-hmm, thanks, bro." The monsters wreaked havoc on the world, so the authorities hastily formed a research team and a squad of superpowered fighters. But they knew too little about the monsters, and the death rate kept climbing. A survivor of the Infinite Worlds joined the squad and told the captain, "The strongest big shot has returned to reality, too. The monsters are nothing but a meal to him. He protected countless people and was a great savior. He's our only hope." To save the world, the authorities posted on the superpower forum, looking for people willing to work with them. Many survivors showed up, eagerly gossiping about the big shot and hyping him up for thousands of posts. The big shot became an overnight sensation on the forum, but no one could find him. Until one day, an S-rank monster suddenly appeared in the city square, putting countless lives at risk. "Shouldn't we run, too?" Qi Le's friend asked, trembling as he grabbed him. Qi Le sighed, pulled off his jacket, and pushed against the crowd, heading straight for the monster. With a quick motion, he drew a gleaming long blade from his spine. "I..." "hate being a savior more than anything." The superpowered squad captain hurried to the scene. The monster was nowhere to be seen. All he found was his sweet, meek neighbor, calmly wiping blood off a long blade. They stared at each other. Qi Le: "Bro." Nie Huan: "...Where's the monster?" Qi Le pointed to the pool of blood on the ground. "Dead," Qi Le said. "Sorry I hid it from you. I'm the strongest big shot you've been looking for." ** Nie Huan has a younger neighbor named Qi Le. He's timid, and when he saw a monster eat his flowers, his eyes turned red with fright. He's quick-minded, able to point out a monster's weaknesses with pinpoint accuracy, though he modestly claims it was luck. Qi Le is innocent and kind, and always depends on Nie Huan and sticks close to him. Nie Huan has a huge soft spot for Qi Le and swears he'll protect him forever, until he sees Qi Le cut down monsters one after another as easily as chopping vegetables. A team member hesitantly asks, "Captain, is this the timid, meek little brother you were talking about?" Nie Huan nods, playing dumb. "That's right." Everyone else: ??? Theme: Being a father isn't easy. Being a good father is even harder.
