Su Ke quietly walked out of the room, guided by the coordinates provided by the system. As he approached the location, he peered through a window and saw Jean Grey lying on a table, looking bored.

"I said... The mysterious substance you are referring to is not Jean Grey, right?" Su Ke asked internally, feeling exasperated.

"The mysterious substance is not Jean Grey, but the Phoenix Force within her," the system replied.

Is there really a difference? Su Ke thought. The Phoenix Force resided within Jean Grey. This was a significant challenge.

Su Ke felt a surge of frustration but then paused, realizing something. "Wait a minute... The purpose of you asking me to obtain the Phoenix Force isn't just for a mission, right? You said my body can absorb and emit energy. Does that mean once I obtain the Phoenix Force, I can use it?"

The idea excited Su Ke. The Phoenix Force was one of the most powerful forces in the Marvel Universe. With it, he wouldn't fear even the goddess of death. But the system quickly brought him back to reality.

"The Phoenix Force is among the highest-level powers in the Marvel Universe. The host cannot master it with his current strength. However, due to the host's unique body, the host can absorb and utilize the Phoenix Force as his own power. Additionally, the host can absorb and emit all forms of energy within the comic universe."

Su Ke understood now. His body functioned like a supercharger, capable of storing or emitting various energies, including the Phoenix Force. Although he couldn't wield the Phoenix Force like Jean Grey, he could still use its power, which was good enough.

"How do I obtain the Phoenix Force?" Su Ke asked.

"It's very simple. The Phoenix Force exists within Jean Grey. To obtain it, the host must engage in deep physical contact with Jean Grey. In simpler terms..."

"You want me to sleep with Jean Grey!" Su Ke interrupted, already knowing the answer.

"Yes, this is the most direct method. Other forms of physical contact can also work, but the power gained will be less. Alternatively, the host can allow the Phoenix Force within Jean Grey to run wild and then absorb it."

Su Ke was speechless. He never expected the system to suggest such a thing.

Sleep with Jean Grey? That required a relationship, which he didn't have. Forcing himself on her would make him the most despised person in both the Marvel and DC universes. Letting the Phoenix Force run wild was equally unthinkable; it was dangerous and could kill others in the school. Moreover, it would be a nightmare for Jean Grey, whom Su Ke didn't want to harm.

Suddenly, Jean Grey seemed to sense something and walked to the window, opening it.

Their eyes met, and Su Ke felt embarrassed while Jean Grey looked surprised.

"Su Ke, why is it you? What are you doing here?" Jean Grey asked, astonished.

Scratching his head, Su Ke replied awkwardly, "Uh... I slept too long before, and now I can't fall asleep. So I thought I'd go for a walk and ended up here. By the way, Jean, why haven't you slept yet?"

"I can't control my power. Even though it's midnight, my mind is still filled with voices. Because of this, I sleep very late every day," Jean Grey said helplessly.

"So that's how it is!" Su Ke responded dryly, unsure of what to do next. The atmosphere grew awkward.

Noticing the tension, Jean Grey blushed and said, "Su Ke, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"

"Okay, okay!" Su Ke agreed immediately, without hesitation.

Are you kidding? Jean Grey was a beauty in the Marvel Universe. Only a fool would refuse such an invitation!

Seeing Su Ke agree so quickly, Jean Grey felt a pang of regret. What if others found out? But it was too late now; Su Ke had already jumped in through the window.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night...
