I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

[Mission: The Will to Vengeance. Set the flames of vengeance ablaze throughout Hell's Kitchen, avenge your parents, and destroy the Hell's Kitchen Triad. Mission Difficulty: White-Blue.]

[Task completed. Final task reward. Congratulations to host Hao Longtao for receiving another blue blind box reward.]

According to the blind box calculation formula, two blue blind boxes added together equal a cyan blind box. The cyan blind box is increased by 200%, resulting in a red blind box reward.

"Just a red box?"

Hao Longtao looked slightly disappointed.

[Continue with the quest progression? Progressing quests will now be marked in red.]

Hao Longtao really wanted to keep going.

But he knew that his reckless behavior had already attracted the attention of many forces.

Furthermore, since one's wealth and desire points have already reached a certain level, simply upgrading the Ice-Ice Fruit would have certain limitations.

"It's always better to secure profits for stability."

"I can now convert wealth points and desire points into strength. By going long on Stark Industries this time, I will gain a huge amount of wealth points. Then I can plan other missions and push them to a higher level to obtain the golden legendary blind box, or even the black despair blind box."

Black represents misfortune.

For me, the mission's danger level is ominous.

For the enemy, once they complete the mission and receive the reward, it will be an ominous sign.

Therefore, the term "black despair" is used to describe the ultimate blind box.

"Open the red blind box."

Hao Longtao said with a firm look in his eyes.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

[Red blind box successfully opened; rolling task complete.]

A strange red light appeared before Hao Longtao's eyes.

The blinding red light made Hao Longtao slightly lost in thought.

[Congratulations, host! You have acquired Mera Aquaman's water manipulation magic (Mastery Level) from DC Comics.]

Hao Longtao listened to the system's prompt and looked slightly disappointed.

Actually, he wanted to gain the ability to increase his strength and stamina.

"If all else fails, then we'll steal the super serum from the military."

Hao Longtao sighed.

Mera's water-controlling abilities in DC Comics can enhance his freezing abilities and combat prowess.

This ability is actually quite good.

It is the ability that best suits Hao Longtao at this stage, allowing him to control moisture and maximize the power of the Ice-Freeze Fruit.

Do you wish to learn water manipulation magic?

The system prompts again.

"study."

Having come to terms with it, Hao Longtao stopped worrying about it.

[Congratulations, host! You have gained the ability to control water magic (Mastery Level)!]

As a large amount of knowledge about water control magic flooded into Hao Longtao's mind, a subtle change occurred in his body, and a very strange power appeared within him.

Controlling water means he can roam freely on the seabed.

With his mind's control, the cold water poured on Hao Longtao was controlled by an invisible force, avoiding his body.

He could clearly feel the water flowing.

That sense of familiarity felt like an innate talent.

I glanced at my attribute panel.

Name: Hao Longtao

Wealth Points: 51775 (can be used to upgrade abilities)

Desire Points: 562 million (can be used to advance through realms)

Abilities: Ice-Ice Fruit (Mastery, Stage 1+), Mind Immunity (Passive+), Water Magic (Mastery Level+)

Skill: Bajiquan (Transcendent Realm+)

task:

[1. Ichizawa Kaori: Facing a special female hero, you can develop a relationship with her that goes beyond friendship, and you'll reap great rewards. Quest Reward: Blue Blind Box (can be stacked). Quest Attributes: Independent side quest, infinite quest.]

The increase in desire points.

A "+" symbol appeared after each of their abilities and skills.

This means that Hao Longtao needs to spend a huge amount of desire points to break through certain limits of what is considered the limit.

However, Hao Longtao dared not break through to the Ice-Ice Fruit's power at this moment.

The second stage of Devil Fruit power must be awakened.

He feared that if he were to break through to demonic powers here and awaken them, the very moment he did so, he could freeze the heart of New York.

New York City is now the world's largest international metropolis.

If such a disaster were to occur, Hao Longtao could imagine that he would not be able to stay in the United States, and that countries around the world would issue arrest warrants for him and prevent him from entering the country.

He had nowhere to go but the universe.

Earth has not yet entered the stage of full contact with the universe.

Even if he wanted to wander the universe, he had no means to reach deep space.

"System, upgrade water control magic to the mastery level."

Should I spend 30 million wealth points to upgrade my water control magic to the mastery level?

Thirty million in wealth?

Hao Longtao was first surprised, then became very happy.

The more wealth points you consume, the greater the improvement in your abilities.

Mera, the Queen of the Sea, likely possessed a level of mastery in water control.

If one's water control ability is improved to the level of mastery, there will definitely be unexpected gains.

It seems that the magical abilities I obtained from this red blind box are not as simple as I imagined.

"Yes."

Hao Longtao chose to be promoted.

[After deducting 30 million wealth points, the water control magic ability has been upgraded to the mastery level.]

In an instant, Hao Longtao's magical power increased dozens of times.

He can even easily control the flow of blood within his body.

The water molecules flowing in the air seemed to become the tactile sensation for him to cast his magical abilities.

Having reached the level of mastery in magic, there is no casting delay; magic moves at will. In the blink of an eye, with his thoughts, he can control water to achieve the desired effect.

powerful.

It is even comparable to freezing ability.

Desire Points: 562 million (can be used to advance through realms)

task:

[1. Ichizawa Kaori: Facing a special female hero, you can develop a relationship with her that goes beyond friendship, and you'll reap great rewards. Quest Reward: Blue Blind Box (can be stacked). Quest Attributes: Independent side quest, infinite quest.]

Looking at the attribute panel, the system provided the answer.

The potential of water control magic has not yet been exhausted; one can use desire points to break through the threshold limit.

However, to break through to the next stage, you need 500 million desire points.

Mental immunity requires 300 desire points.

Breakthroughs in Bajiquan also require 300 million Desire Points.

This made Hao Longtao uneasy.

After working so hard to accumulate over three million desire points, I'm still poor.

I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to school.

If he doesn't go to school, Gwen Stacy will probably have a problem with it.

I wonder if this pretty girl will hide the fact that she's become a spider or a little insect from me?

Hao Longtao is looking forward to it.

Chapter Seventeen: Inviting Gwen to be her dance partner, the mature female real estate agent kneels down.

The second basement level.

Hao Longtao is in the car.

The text message said Gwen was coming downstairs.

After Gwen got into the car, Hao Longtao stared at her face for a long time.

This made Gwen very uncomfortable.

"Is there flowers on my face?"

Gwen Stacy touched her face and quickly opened the mirror to examine herself.

relieved.

Her mutation did not produce any adverse effects.

"It's nothing, I just feel your skin has become smoother."

Hao Longtao smiled, started the car, and went to school.

Gwen's heart jumped. She looked in the mirror and stroked her face from time to time.

Thinking about the changes in her body, Gwen realized that she couldn't keep hitching rides with Hao Longtao.

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at Hao Longtao's profile. His face was resolute, as if carved by a knife, and it looked somewhat sacred under the sunlight.

Gwen Stacy's heart was racing.

So handsome!

Good grades, mature personality, good looks...

It seems I've been neglecting my classmates.

“Gwen, you keep staring at my face, I might misunderstand.”

Hao Longtao suddenly said.

Gwen's fair and delicate face was flushed with a hint of shyness.

"Long Tao, have you invited a dance partner for your graduation prom?"

Gwen Stacy countered with a question.

A pair of bright, exquisitely beautiful blue eyes.

Velvety eyes, with a watery luster, filled the eyes.

"I can't dance."
