Su Ming knew that this World would usher in a large-scale alien invasion in a few years.
If he chose to use firearms, dealing with Terrorists would not be a problem, but they would be insignificant in front of aliens.
So, firearms—pass!
He recalled some famous superheroes: Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Thor…
They themselves were powerful weapons, so they didn't need external help at all.
Thinking of this, Su Ming decided to first upgrade his Lv.1 Physique Enhancement to 5th Layer—which cost 60,000 U.S. dollars.
【-60,000 U.S. dollars, Talent upgrade successful! Account balance: 1,841,380 U.S. dollars】
The attribute panel opened, and data streams formed a holographic interface before his eyes:
【Name: Su Ming】
【Age: 28】
【Physique: 15】
【Current Account: 1,841,380 U.S. dollars】
【Existing Talents: Sub-Wolverine Level Recovery, Dynamic Vision Lv.1, Jeet Kune Do Mastery, Physique Enhancement Lv.1 (5/5 Layers), Faceless Mask】
His physique increased from the original 9 points to 15 points.
Looking at himself in the mirror, his streamlined muscles were full of explosive power like a leopard.
He picked up a can casually, thinking that before he could only crush it into the shape of a stick, and wondered how the effect would be after his body improved.
With a gentle squeeze of his palm—the can instantly flattened into a planar shape.
Su Ming looked at the can in his hand, which had clearly turned into a card, with surprise, knowing that this thing could no longer be used to test his body's changes.
He briefly looked at the room's furnishings, then went to the sofa, grabbed its armrest, and gently lifted it.
The nearly three-meter-long sofa just lifted off the ground…
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Su Ming's eyes, and he slowly released his fingers, leaving only two fingers pinching the armrest—the sofa remained suspended in mid-air, motionless.
“Click! Clang!”
The armrest couldn't bear the weight and broke…
“No wonder it costs 2 million U.S. dollars to upgrade to Lv.2; this enhancement effect is indeed impressive!”
He turned back to the bed, “Zira!”—the carpet under his feet tore open a large hole.
Su Ming gave a wry smile, knowing that it was because the force of his turn and walk was too great, and the thick carpet was easily torn like paper.
His physique improved too quickly, and he still needed to adapt.
He returned to the bed light-footed, drinking an iced cola, Su Ming decided to choose a cold weapon for long-range attacks.
Bow and arrow? Flying dagger? Or… javelin? No, forget the javelin.
Imagining himself carrying a large bundle of javelins and throwing them huffing and puffing to kill enemies, Su Ming almost burst out laughing.
Similarly, the sight of him scurrying around with a bow on his back also didn't fit his aesthetic.
After all, Marvel already had an Hawkeye who used a bow and arrow—and his combat power wasn't even in the first tier.
Bow and arrow—pass!
Finally, Su Ming chose to use flying daggers, not just because they were easy to carry.
In his memory, Li Xunhuan's unique skill was incredibly cool; with one dagger thrown, the World changed, and it never missed!
With his current good physique and the Dynamic Vision talent, choosing flying daggers was more suitable.
Muttering “flying dagger, flying dagger…” Su Ming searched for a long time in the system store and finally found this talent in an inconspicuous spot:
【Hundred Shots, Hundred Hits → Precise Throwing Lv.1. 200,000 U.S. dollars】
“Exchange!”
【-200,000 U.S. dollars, exchange successful! Account balance: 1,641,380 U.S. dollars】
A strange feeling surged up, and Su Ming seemed to have a sudden inspiration, looking at the bathroom furthest from him in the suite, picking up an advertising card from the bedside and throwing it casually…
“Slap!”
The card turned into a streak of light, pierced straight through the living room, and embedded itself in the bathroom doorknob, leaving only a tiny corner exposed.
“Oh ~ not bad!”
Su Ming felt playful, went to the window, and opened a deck of poker cards…
Swish ~
With a lift of his hand, the playing card spun and flew into the distance, nailing itself to the eaves of the building across the street, dozens of meters away.
Fortunately, Su Ming had the Dynamic Vision talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see how this playing card flew over.
Watching the playing card precisely nail a plastic bag flying in the air to the wall, Su Ming nodded in satisfaction.
He pulled out another card, this time without aiming at anything.
Su Ming intended to see how far the effective range of the card was with his current Lv.1 talent.
Swish ~
The card transformed into a shooting star and flew into the distance… and disappeared.
“That was truly a miscalculation!”
Su Ming was surprised to see that the thrown card maintained its accuracy until it disappeared from his field of vision.
This meant that—with his current vision level, he couldn't even see the distance the card flew.
It was time to upgrade his vision.
Looking at the talent upgrade interface, Su Ming once again lamented that he didn't have enough money:
【Dynamic Vision Lv.1 → Dynamic Vision Lv.2, 1,000,000 U.S. dollars】
【Dynamic Vision Lv.2 → Dynamic Vision Lv.3, 10,000,000 U.S. dollars】
【Dynamic Vision Lv.3 → Dynamic Vision Lv.4, 100,000,000 U.S. dollars】
His current account balance was only enough for one upgrade of the Dynamic Vision talent…
“Upgrade!”
【-1,000,000 U.S. dollars! Upgrade successful! Account balance: 641,380 U.S. dollars】
As the system's mechanical voice sounded in his mind, everything in Su Ming's eyes changed.
Even though it wasn't fully bright yet, he could clearly see the patterns on the civilian airliner in the sky, as if he had a telescope.
He looked again in the direction where he had just thrown the card, and found that playing card on the lightbox of a bakery sign two streets away.
The distance was about 2 kilometers.
“Good heavens! It flew that far!”
Looking at the card's position from afar, which had long deviated from his throwing direction, Su Ming pulled out another card, exerted force, and threw it…
Swish ~
In his upgraded vision, the card turned into a streak of light and flew into the distance, finally deviating after flying about 200 meters.
“Only 200 meters?”
Su Ming was not very satisfied with this distance, looking at the upgrade interface for the Precise Throwing skill:
【Precise Throwing Lv.1 → Precise Throwing Lv.2, 600,000 U.S. dollars】
【Precise Throwing Lv.2 → Precise Throwing Lv.3, 6,000,000 U.S. dollars】
【Precise Throwing Lv.3 → Precise Throwing Lv.4, 60,000,000 U.S. dollars】
…
He gritted his teeth!
“Upgrade!”
【-600,000 U.S. dollars, upgrade successful! Account balance: 41,380 U.S. dollars】
Looking at his almost emptied account, Su Ming's mouth twitched, and he kept telling himself:
“Money is a bastard; if it's gone, just earn it back…”
Then he threw another card.
Swish ~
“Crack!”
He saw a large chunk of the roof tile on the opposite building instantly chipped off.
After confirming that he hadn't hit anyone downstairs, Su Ming stuck out his tongue:
“This money wasn't wasted! The power is much greater!”
Looking into the distance again, Su Ming intended to observe what changes in range the upgraded talent would bring.
Swish ~
The card streaked across the sky like a meteor, flying straight for nearly a thousand meters in the direction Su Ming aimed before changing its trajectory.
“So strong!”
Su Ming suddenly realized that what he had just thrown was a card! If it were a proper flying dagger…
That would definitely be a scene the enemy wouldn't want to see!
Looking at the deck of cards in his hand, if he added a teleportation ability…
A strange thought popped into Su Ming's mind:
“I clearly wanted to learn from Li Xunhuan, but how did I become a Card Master?”
Little Li Flying Dagger is still cooler!
Let poker cards be used as everyday long-range weapons; for serious moments, it still has to be flying daggers!
Thinking of this, Su Chen found a piece of paper and began to draw, imitating the appearance of Little Li Flying Dagger from his memory…
As a result, he couldn't even tell what the doodle on the paper was! It was incredibly ugly!!
Frowning at his drawing, Su Ming suddenly remembered that when he was browsing the store just now, he seemed to have seen a talent related to drawing:
【Lifelike → Sketching Mastery. 40,000 U.S. dollars】
With this Sketching Mastery, it seemed that many things would become much more convenient in the future.
Without hesitation:
“Exchange!”
【-40,000 U.S. dollars, exchange successful! Account balance: 1,380 U.S. dollars】
A flash of insight passed, and he was confident that he could absolutely control the trajectory of the pencil in his hand.
After a flurry of pencil strokes…
Looking at the flying dagger on the paper that seemed to emit a cold gleam, Su Ming revealed a satisfied smile:
“More skills never hurt; the ancients truly didn't deceive me~”
