Victor entered the elevator, and Felicia, who was following closely, asked nervously, "BOSS, what should we do now?"
"My name is Victor Chen." Victor turned his head, meeting Felicia's furtive gaze, and chuckled, "Have you had lunch yet?"
At his smile, Felicia's face flushed, and her eyes darted away in a panic: "I... I was just eating."
"You were called away mid-meal?"
"Mm... It's fine, I'm on a diet recently."
"Does the employee cafeteria get sunlight?"
"Yes, it does, but the good spots are usually..."
"Alright, let's go to the employee cafeteria then. I need to think for a while, you have about twenty minutes to eat." Victor decided.
"O-okay." Felicia felt her breathing quicken.
Oh my goodness!
Handsome, powerful, gentle smile, and considerate to girls!!
Prince White Horse, is that you?
Despite her inner turmoil, Felicia, with great professionalism, looked up and said, "Let's go to..."
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and they had already arrived at the employee cafeteria floor.
Felicia: "?.?"
Seeing Victor walk out directly, Felicia quickly followed, but her mind was filled with doubts.
After today's upgrade, this artificial intelligence feels like it has a different control System... A woman's intuition is truly terrifying!
She was still muttering to herself, head down.
Victor stopped and turned around. Felicia didn't react in time and bumped right into Victor's embrace.
This time, the experience wasn't warm. Felicia felt like she had hit a wall. Victor didn't budge, but she herself was jolted back a few steps, rubbing her nose with teary eyes.
Seeing her clumsy state, Victor found it a bit amusing, but he didn't blame her.
He knew his own charm; it usually took some time for a normal girl to adapt.
Not only did he not blame her, but he gently changed the subject: "Felicia, you have 25 minutes to eat. I'll be over there, basking in the sun."
Felicia covered her nose and nodded repeatedly.
But she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she followed Victor to the lounge area, found a seat, ordered a cup of coffee, and only then did she leave with light steps.
The new BOSS is so gentle, compared to that old man, BOSS Norman... Oh, BOSS Norman is younger now too, but he's still completely outclassed by the new BOSS!
On the other side.
Sitting down in the lounge area, Victor finally had a chance to be alone. He summoned the Platform interface and opened his inventory.
A total of 6 items lay quietly in the first 6 slots.
"x-gene: Weak Cat", "x-gene: Camouflage", "rhino armor", "green goblin armor", "neural embedded mechanical octopus tentacles", "spider serum".
He began to operate.
"Sell rhino armor."
[You are selling the item "rhino armor" to the Platform. The currency valuation is f-rank vouchers x 2, plane points x 20. Are you sure you want to sell it?]
"Yes."
[The item "rhino armor" has been successfully sold. You have received f-rank vouchers x 2, plane points x 20;]
"Sell green goblin armor."
[You are selling the item "green goblin armor" to the Platform. The currency valuation is D-Rank Vouchers x 2, plane points x 2500. Are you sure you want to sell it?]
"Yes."
...Repeating the operation 4 times, he obtained a total of f-rank vouchers x 2, e-class voucher x 3, D-Rank Vouchers x 2, c-class vouchers x 8, and plane points x 84870.
What a great harvest!
Victor felt his back straighten considerably.
But then he thought of the long list of items to buy for the Superman Bloodline... Well, it was all small change.
He clicked on the DC Universe shop and opened the Superman Bloodline list.
He was still poor, as expected!
As he understood the Platform's rules, Victor deeply understood the difficulty involved.
Raphael had somehow transformed the complete "Superman Bloodline" into over twenty incomplete Bloodlines, each containing a different Super Ability. This operation was truly something else.
Among them.
The "Incomplete Superman Bloodline" as the main body, only contained one Super Ability, "Super Cells". He had to upgrade it from F-Rank to SS-Rank, Rank by Rank, to obtain the complete version of the "Super Cells" Super Ability.
In other words.
Victor's current F-Rank "Incomplete Superman Bloodline" only had F-Rank "Super Cells". The upper limit of light energy it could store was also restricted to the F-Rank level.
It could barely sustain a "Super Vision: Night Vision", but any combat ability would drain it in minutes.
As for abilities such as "Super Hearing", "Super Speed", "Super Flight", etc., they were made into plugins. After Fusion, they were only limited by the total light energy, and once purchased, they were effective for life.
It's just that it's a bit... "Super Hearing": c-class vouchers x 5, plane points x 50000;
"Super Speed": b-rank vouchers x 5, plane points x 500000;
"Super Flight": a-rank voucher x 5, plane points x 5000000;
...Not only were Super Abilities expensive, but activating them also consumed a large amount of light energy.
The Rank of "Super Cells" was therefore crucial.
But only storing light energy without the corresponding Super Abilities would just make him a human-shaped solar battery.
The relationship is roughly as follows.
--------
Because: Longer Duration = Higher Rank "Super Cells" = More Resources.
Therefore: Money is Power!
--------
Cough, cough.
Before he had enough capital, there was a balance point in the middle that Victor needed to grasp appropriately.
Having clarified the key points.
Victor began to buy systematically.
First, he bought the Super Abilities he would need later.
"Superman Bloodline: Super Vision: Far Sight" — e-class voucher x 5, plane points x 500;
"Superman Bloodline: Super Hearing" — c-class vouchers x 5, plane points x 50000;
This alone consumed most of his gains.
Then he upgraded his Bloodline Rank.
"Incomplete Superman Bloodline" (E-Rank) — e-class voucher x 9, plane points x 900;
"Incomplete Superman Bloodline" (D-Rank) — D-Rank Vouchers x 8, plane points x 8000;
But he could buy a long-desired Super Ability.
"Superman Bloodline: Super Stomach" — e-class voucher x 5, plane points x 500;
After buying this ability, Victor stopped.
He checked his balance.
f-rank vouchers x 36, e-class voucher x 6, D-Rank Vouchers x 2, c-class vouchers x 2, plane points x 25415.
Only c-class vouchers x 2 remained, he couldn't even afford a C-Rank Bloodline... He'd save them. He'd digest the purchased abilities first.
Just as he was about to extract and absorb his "trophies", a Platform notification popped up.
[Achieved the conditions for Level 2 Merchant promotion, promotion mission activated;]
Huh?
He could be promoted so quickly?
He clicked on the mission panel, and the promotion mission was pinned above the three collection missions.
--------
Promotion Mission: Make contact with at least five future Avengers members;
--------
That simple?
It's not even as difficult as the last one.
He put aside the promotion mission.
His gaze returned to his inventory. The Bloodlines he had just purchased were lined up, looking extremely satisfying.
He was about to evolve into a little Superman. He felt a little excited just thinking about it.
