Chapter 53: New function
Chapter 53: New function
Bruce has been waiting for Coulson to say that. Prior to this, he had been expecting all of this to happen. And afterwards when he saw that his own strength was valued by Coulson, he was certain that when Coulson went to find Iron Man he would bring him along.
Everything was under Bruce's control. "It seems that this time Sir's plan is not simple." Bruce joked, but Coulson stayed quiet.
Over the past month, Bruce had performed several missions, and the way he handled each one of them made him very satisfied. Regardless, It was his actual strength and combat prowess that he valued.
In addition, Coulson had a deep respect for Iron Man and by bringing Bruce along this time, he could cheer himself up.
"You will know these things soon." Coulson laughed.
He had sort of promoted Bruce, that's why he wanted to bring Bruce on to this plan. It was actually an unprecedented plan, and one for which Bruce was more than qualified for.
"Okay then, lets go.
Iron Man, as one of the three big shots of the Avengers, whether it be in status or strength, he was incomparable. His advanced technology however was what everyone most admired about him.
It could be said that in the whole of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man was a big priority and one of the main characters which the plot revolved around.
This time when Bruce completed the mission, he got five million USD as a reward, which meant that he could purchase a single 5,000 x download speedup. With that amount of money, Bruce had the confidence to download Iron Mans best and unique ability.
This time around, I hope I can download Iron Mans brain.
At the very least, he hoped he would be able to download his mark armor, which was a really powerful tool in itself.
Coulson nodded and set off with Bruce.
As soon and Coulson and Bruce got in the car and were on route to the Stark Industries building, the voice of the system began speaking in Bruces mind.
"Congratulations to the host on entering the AVENGERS I scenario. Turning on the energy value function."
"Beep, energy value activated. Activating the one-click download function and providing information on two other functions.
"Beep, the energy value is being calculated!
Energy value function? This made Bruce a bit confused yet excited at the same time.
But in that moment of confusion and excitement, two floods of memories surged into Bruce's mind. The memories were all about the new functions of the system, and It took Bruce a while to fully digest them.
When he did however, there was only a look of surprise left in his eyes. The energy value function, in short, worked something like this. Depending on how strong the enemy Bruce was facing was, he would get energy value during his fight.
He didnt need to completely kill off or defeat the enemy, as long as he was fighting with the enemy he would proceed to get energy value. Of course, killing off the enemy or defeating them would also net him the energy value.
At the present stage of the energy value, there were a couple of additional functions.
First of all, as long as he had enough energy value, he could use the one-click download function. He wouldnt need to purchase any speedups or wait for the download to finish, he would just finish the download instantly.
Before this, when Bruce downloaded super abilities that had a huge amount of data, he needed to purchase a download speedup, otherwise it would take him much longer than he could afford.
But now, as long as he had enough energy value, he could download abilities with just one click!
But with the energy value he could only download the abilities that required energy value. Otherwise he could only download the data of the abilities, which would require download speedups. The two functions could be used without thinking.
(Before this, Bruce could only use data to download abilities. For example, if an ability was 50 GB, he would need to download 50 GB worth of data. Now, if an ability needed 1,000 energy value, he could only download it with energy value, he couldnt download the data like usual.)
The second function was Ability synthesis. Like the name suggested, similar abilities could be combined and then transformed into a single more powerful ability.
The shortcoming to the otherwise overpowered function, was that It only worked on similar abilities, and could not be used on anything else. The more powerful the abilities, the more energy would need to be consumed.
Finally, there was the Hero-level equipment upgrade function.
For example, the Vibranium shield Bruce had obtained before. It would consume energy value to upgrade It to become even more powerful. The good thing about this function, was that the upgrades worked like an all-around upgrade instead of focusing on only one thing.
If Bruce had a Mark 1 Warframe, he could upgrade it to a Mark 2 Warframe using energy value. And if he had enough, he could even upgrade it straight into the Nano armor of the Mark 50 which appeared in Avengers: Infinity War!
It could be said that the function of energy value that was recently activated was extremely powerful and terrifying.
It could also now be seen, why after Bruce digested all that new information, his eyes were filled with excitement. The function of the Unlimited Download System was beyond his wildest imaginations.
Moreover, in the memories that the system had given him, there were hints that in the future, he could unlock even more absurd functions. However for now, these functions had no way of getting activated.
Be that as it may, Bruce had actually only activated the one-click download function. As for the synthesis and upgrade functions, they had not been activated for the time being.
In the mass of memories that had surged into his brain, he found that if he wanted to unlock more functions, he would need to progress into the plot.
As for how to progress into the plot, that was the easy part. He just had to follow the main storyline of the Marvel Movie Universe to progress.
And while he was a variable, It was best not to interfere yet. Otherwise it would be judged as disrupting the plot, which would lead to him being unable to obtain other functions.
Of course, having said that, It was also not an easy thing to disturb the plot. Unless Bruce actually brought major changes during a major event, he could continue to progress into the main storyline.
For example, the Mind Gem had to be obtained by HYDRA, otherwise the plot of Avengers: Infinity War could not develop. That was the whole point of the restriction.
As for everything else, Bruce was free to do whatever he liked. As long as he did not seriously interfere with the plot, he would not have much impact.
According to Bruce's understanding of the system, only when he was powerful enough would he be able to do whatever he wanted.
But for now, he should focus on progressing into the plot of Avengers: Infinity War.
So, besides downloading, I need to guide the plot now.
The strength of the system was really beyond his imagination. Seeing the uses of the energy value was enough to make him be able to defy a god. And at this moment, Bruce had complete confidence that he would be able to crush Thanos and dominate the universe in the future.
"What's wrong Bruce, are you uncomfortable?" Coulson asked.
"I'm okay sir." Bruce smiled and behaved extremely normal.
Coulson just nodded when he saw that.
After reassuring Coulson, Bruce instantly opened his system panel again.
-
[Name]: Bruce Lite
[Identity]: Level 6 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
[Ability]: Marksman, Anti-aging gene, Spider Telepathy, Super Serum gene, Super endurance, Body and Shield as one, Adsorbent ability, Super speed, Super strength, Mind-control Immunity, Self-healing, Strenghtend Hands, Super vision, Pig Iron Body, Superb-level Fighting technique, Sabre proficiency, Firearms proficiency, Covert tracking.
[Warehouse]: Vibranium shield.
[Balance]: Five million dollars
[Energy value]: 20 points (can be used for one-click download)
Sure enough, there was an extra energy value column in the panel, but it could only be used for the one-click download function as of now. As for the synthesis and upgrade functions, they would gradually be unlocked.
The extra 20 energy value he had gotten was obtained from all the enemies he had previously fought, defeated or killed. Bruce shook his head slightly, with a hint of bitterness on his face.
He had experienced many battles before, but they all actually amounted to nothing more than 20 points of energy value. From this alone it could be seen just how difficult it would be to obtain energy value in the future.
Regardless, Bruce didnt pay it much attention, as the New York War had already begun!
"Bruce, we have arrived."
