By the time Luke was getting into his job as an alien boss, it was already December 2015.
Something happened on Earth that finally brought his attention back.
Luke himself sat on the sofa in his New York home, watching Selina zoom in on the image on the virtual light screen.
This is a thin and short figure.
He wore a red helmet which was not complicated but comparable to a high-simulation cosplay prop, and a red and blue high-elastic composite tights.
Smacking his lips, he could only sigh: "This kid has a lot of pocket money."
Selina rolled her eyes: "This raw material was sponsored by your brother."
Luke was surprised: "Peter shared the secret with Joseph?"
Selina: "How is that possible? But your brother is not short of money. In recent years, he has been very interested in the special material formula that Peter has been researching. He even donated 50,000 US dollars privately."
Luke: “What?”
In fact, it was Gwen Stacy who joined Mindy's women's self-defense club under Luke's introduction.
Gwen accidentally mentioned that Peter was working on a special material.
Joseph, who was asked to play the role of the "gangster" at the time, asked a few questions casually after hearing this.
Gwen, the academic master, didn't know the details of Peter's research, so she simply gave him Peter's flying signal number.
After that, Joseph and Peter chatted twice and gradually became friends.
In Joseph's words, Peter is at least very thoughtful in material research and development and is an interesting partner.
As for most ordinary American students in their teens and twenties, Joseph has only one evaluation: they are either bad or stupid, or even both bad and stupid.
After listening to Selina's explanation, Luke zoomed in on Peter's helmet on the screen, observed it carefully for a few seconds, and nodded: "Indeed, the connection process of this helmet is obviously in the style of our previous generation of main battle armor, and it is a bit like the training helmet I gave Peter."
Selina, who was lying on her side, couldn't help herself and stretched out her leg to pull his thigh skin: "Am I talking about some crappy craftsmanship?"
With his sticky ability protecting him, Luke took the slight pain in his thigh lightly: "Let Mindy handle it?"
As soon as he said this, he shook his head: "Forget it, there are actually no middle school students in Ursa Minor. And Peter is a chatterbox... Tsk, will Mindy hit someone?"
Selina snorted, "Peter doesn't look like he wants to be a superhero right now. He's more like a super vigilante."
As she spoke, she casually swiped her fingers to show several small images: "In the past ten days, this guy has arrested 21 thieves, 13 bag snatchers, eight molesters, and three knife attackers. Most of his activities are in Queens, and a small part are in Brooklyn."
After a pause, Selina pointed at the screen and said, "He is dressed like this. Our body matching system can easily find out that it is him. It is too dangerous to be a superhero with such a sense of secrecy. It is safer to be a good neighbor."
Luke smiled: After all, Peter Parker who is not a good neighbor in New York is not a good Spider-Man!
Thinking back to when he first discovered Tony Stark was here, he couldn't help but look forward to Spider-Man, and even imagined that they might be classmates if they went to New York.
As a result, facts told him that the universe does not revolve around time travelers, at least not him.
When Luke first saw little Peter, who was over three years old, he knew that he was destined not to be Spider-Man's friend, but only an uncle.
Who knows that the Spider-Man here was only born in 2001!
However, this is not a bad thing for Peter.
Uncle Ben's kind nature led to his fateful street shooting.
But Luke saved Uncle Ben's life by distributing nano-inner armor under the pretext of welfare for the company's senior executives.
For Peter, even if he loses the chance to become Spider-Man, he would rather Uncle Ben be alive.
As for transforming from a financially distressed single-parent family to a middle-class family with no worries about spending, it is not too important.
Peter himself has a naturally optimistic and cheerful nature, and he would enjoy catching a thief or robber even if it meant catching them.
Luke had no intention of interfering too much in Peter's life. After all, he was a busy man and it was impossible for him to observe how a child grew up every day.
It doesn't matter whether Peter becomes Spider-Man or not.
Being a superhero is not an enviable profession.
Most otakus who fantasize about becoming superheroes actually just want to have superhero abilities, not to do so for the sake of justice.
Luke's mind flashed through all the feelings he had experienced over the past decade.
Finally, his eyes fell on Peter, who was sitting on the roof, taking off his hood and eating a sandwich. "I'll ask Joseph to remind Peter about this. Just pretend you can't see him."
There's no harm in becoming a superhero later, he muttered to himself.
Judging from the psychological state of the main team of the Justice League, the baton will be gradually handed over to the next generation within five to ten years.
The young team of Ursa Minor who took over the position ranged from their twenties to fifties, and had at least twenty years of working experience.
The young guys who have only started to be searched and trained in the past two years will be able to take up their posts one after another in more than ten years with the support of these two groups of people.
Peter, a fledgling New York neighbor, could have just hung out for a few years before deciding on his future path.
For Luke now, it is not difficult to train reserve teams in batches and in echelons.
There may not be any extraordinary top talents among them, but... who says that the retired old guys can't play!
The reason for retirement depends largely on personal ability to bear the consequences.
Being on the front line all the time means being ready to deal with all kinds of extraordinary events at any time, which puts great psychological pressure on people.
Just looking at Phil's hairline that even Life No. 1 couldn't protect, you can tell that this is a problem that no extraordinary item can solve.
But they only take action when it is truly necessary, and there is no problem with retired members.
It's like fitness training, the feeling of an athlete and a rich person are completely different things.
One is tasks and achievements, the other is hobbies and exercise.
With Life No. 1 around, and by properly maintaining some daily training, the main team members' combat effectiveness will not drop even if they become eighty-year-old men.
Secondly, Luke himself is the real "insurance" of the Justice League.
Others work diligently as vigilantes to protect the earth, but they may get tired after twenty or thirty years.
However, he had already made plans to gain experience points over 200 to 300 years, otherwise he would not know when he would be able to accumulate the trillions of "full level" experience points.
Anyway, after his strength broke through the 140 mark, Luke made some progress in his research on advanced self-healing.
Even so, after analyzing his physical data, the medical intelligent computer Osiris came to the conclusion that it was impossible to make an accurate estimate.
Because according to the previous algorithm, Luke's life may now be infinite.
But from the information Luke collected, the beings who could achieve infinite life didn't seem to be as weak as him.
In the end, Osiris made a conservative estimate that he could outlast at least two generations of Asgardians.
