Marvel: My Luck Is A Hundred Million Points Better!-Chapter 157 You Didn’t Say You Were The Speed Of Light!
Chapter 157 - 157 You Didn't Say You Were The Speed Of Light!
Looking at Luo Bai standing there with a smile on his face, Quicksilver was visibly confused.
He didn't know how long he had been stunned, but after a while, he finally spoke in disbelief.
He asked blankly, "What did you say? You... you finished running?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bai nodded and asked, "Yes. Why, didn't you see it clearly?"
Quicksilver: "......"
To be honest, the moment Luo Bai asked that question, it felt like an arrow had pierced Quicksilver's heart.
After all, speed was the one ability Quicksilver took the most pride in.
Before this, he had always crushed others with his absolute speed.

He never expected that one day, he would be the one getting completely outclassed.
And the worst part was...
Is this even normal??
Ah??
Luo Bai's speed!!
Was this really the speed a human from Earth should have?
For a moment, Quicksilver even doubted his own eyes.
All he saw was a flash of light streaking past him twice, and the next thing he knew, Luo Bai was saying he had already finished the race.
The more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed. He couldn't help but blurt out, "How the hell are you so fast?? I always thought I was fast enough, but before I could even react, you had already finished running?"
Seeing Quicksilver's expression—as if he had just seen a ghost—Luo Bai couldn't hold back his amusement.
He chuckled and said, "It's normal that you couldn't react. After all, your maximum speed is only around 800,000 kilometers per hour. But I can easily reach the speed of light."
Luo Bai's calm statement completely shattered Quicksilver's confidence.
Initially, his eyes were only filled with shock and confusion.
But when he heard Luo Bai casually mention "the speed of light," his entire worldview crumbled.
His lips trembled as he muttered, "Speed of light? Is that even scientifically possible? Speed of light? How can you run at the speed of light...?"
He just kept muttering to himself as he shrank into a corner.
Seeing him like this, Pepper grew a little concerned.
She couldn't help but look at Wanda and ask, "Wanda, is Pietro going to be okay?"
Wanda shrugged helplessly. "I don't think so. Pietro has always been extremely confident in his speed. Getting crushed like this... it's going to take him a long time to recover."
Polaris, standing nearby, didn't say a word.
But she kept glancing at Quicksilver with pity, her expression practically saying:
Tsk tsk, so pitiful.
I warned you not to challenge the Sorcerer Supreme, but you just wouldn't listen.
Now look at you. Completely broken.
Sigh...
Initially, the atmosphere in the room had been lively and pleasant.
But ever since Luo Bai and Quicksilver finished their race, an awkward silence settled over everyone.
Quicksilver looked like he had suffered a life-altering blow, sinking deeper into visible despair.
Seeing him so depressed, everyone tried their best to suppress their amusement.
Instead, they could only look at him with sympathy.
Just as they were wondering how to console Quicksilver and lift his spirits, the doorbell rang.
Pepper's eyes lit up. "That should be Tony! I'll go open the door."
With that, she quickly ran over to answer it.
Just as she expected, the person outside was Tony Stark, accompanied by a group of people.
Judging by their attire, they were most likely the chefs responsible for today's meal.
As soon as the door opened, Stark pulled Pepper into a brief hug.
Then, stepping inside, he smiled at Polaris and said, "Happy birthday, Lorna. If I remember correctly, you should be 20 this year, right?"
Polaris nodded with a smile. "You're right, Mr. Stark."
Stark grinned and pulled out a limited-edition handbag, handing it to her.
"I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I asked Pepper to help me pick out a gift for you. Hope you like it."
Polaris took the bag, her face lighting up in surprise.
It was clear that she really liked it.
"Thank you, Mr. Stark. I love it!" she said, immediately trying it on.
Stark smiled and glanced around the room.
That was when he finally noticed—
Luo Bai was here too.
Stark wasn't surprised by Luo Bai's arrival.
After all, he was the one who reminded him about the event in the first place. Smirking, Stark teased, "Master Luo Bai, you're here too? So, what did you get our little Lorna as a gift?"
Luo Bai: "..."
For once, he was at a loss for words.
Seeing his silence, Stark immediately pulled him aside and lowered his voice. "Don't tell me you forgot today is Lorna's birthday? You didn't bring a gift, did you?"
Luo Bai let out a helpless sigh, muttering, "I forgot... It's been too long since I last celebrated a birthday."
To be fair, Luo Bai really couldn't be blamed for this.
Ever since he arrived in the Marvel world, he hadn't celebrated his birthday once.
Every day was about fighting enemies, leveling up, and getting stronger.
The idea of giving birthday gifts never even crossed his mind.
If Stark hadn't reminded him, he would have completely overlooked it.
But since the topic was brought up, Luo Bai figured he might as well give Polaris a small present.
As he thought about it, energy began gathering in his hands. Within moments, a delicate bracelet materialized in his palm.
Once the bracelet was complete, Luo Bai handed it to Polaris.
Polaris blinked in surprise. She hadn't expected him to prepare a gift for her.
"Master Luo Bai, what is this...?" she asked in disbelief.
Luo Bai answered calmly, "It's a magic artifact I personally crafted as your birthday gift. The design might be a little old-fashioned and not the most fashionable, but this bracelet is infused with my energy. When you wear it, it will help you maximize your abilities."
Polaris' eyes widened slightly before a smile spread across her face. "Thank you, Master Luo Bai."
Seeing Luo Bai create such a powerful magic item and gift it to Polaris, Tony's expression immediately turned envious.
Unable to hold back, he asked, "Look at that—how generous of him. Hey, Luo Bai, be honest with me. Can I get a magic artifact like that on my birthday? I think I could use one to boost my magical abilities too."
Luo Bai chuckled. "That depends on my mood."
Tony smirked and replied, "Then I hope you're in a good mood every single day."
As everyone chatted happily, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared—
A very EMO Quicksilver.
At an almost blinding speed, he zipped in front of Luo Bai, his face filled with resentment.
"Can you tell me how you can run at the speed of light?" he demanded.
His sorrowful expression startled everyone.
Perhaps because Pietro looked way too devastated, Stark couldn't help but ask, "Light speed? What the hell does that mean? Can someone explain why Pietro looks like he just lost everything?"
Wanda sighed, shaking her head helplessly. "Before you got here, he had a race against Master Luo Bai. It was supposed to be a speed competition... but Master Luo Bai completely crushed him by moving at the speed of light. And, well... now he's like this."
Hearing Wanda's explanation, Stark let out a laugh.
"Seriously? Who in their right mind challenges Luo Bai? That's just asking to get humiliated. Racing against him is pure masochism."
