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

With a thought, he withdrew his freezing ability.

Exhaled a breath.

"The first time I tried to elementalize, I almost lost control."

Hao Longtao assessed in his mind that if things got out of control, he might freeze the entire Hell's Kitchen.

"The Devil Fruit given by the system seems to be even more powerful."

"Without the demon's curse, can I unleash the full power of the Ice-Ice Fruit?"

Chapter Two: Aokiji? Esdeath?

Name: Hao Longtao

Wealth Points: 4400 (can be used to upgrade abilities)

Desire Points: 230 million (can be used to advance through realms)

Ability: Ice-Ice Fruit (Beginner)

Skills: Mizongquan (Beginner), Bajiquan (Beginner)

Quest Log: [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 Attribute: Standalone, long-term side quest.]

[Should I spend 10 million wealth points to upgrade the Ice-Ice Fruit ability to the Master level?]

Hao Longtao's eyes were illuminated by a screen of light.

This made Hao Longtao's eyes light up slightly.

Fruit abilities also have levels.

According to Hao Longtao's estimation, if his Ice-Ice Fruit ability were placed in the One Piece universe, his strength would be estimated to be at the colonel level.

However, because it is an elemental ability, only someone who has mastered Haki can deal with it.

Therefore, the range of strength is quite large.

Of course, this is just Hao Longtao's own estimate and should not be taken seriously.

"I knew it. These two tasks were not simple. They should be the basic functions to unlock my system attributes."

"System, consume wealth points to enhance the Ice-Freeze Fruit's abilities."

Hao Longtao did not hesitate at all.

For him, wealth points are just a bunch of numbers.

Data on paper.

The only way to succeed is to improve one's own strength.

Hao Longtao is well aware of the kind of world he lives in.

When Thanos snapped his fingers, was he one of the fifty percent of life wiped out?

Not to mention that mutants also exist in this world.

His freezing ability is very similar to that of Robert Drake, the Iceman.

Furthermore, Robert Drake, the Iceman, is a Level 5 mutant, which is the highest level of Omega-weight mutant.

Professor X is only a Level 4 Alpha mutant.

However, despite his potential, the Iceman's abilities are disappointingly underwhelming for someone so young.

The Ice-Ice Fruit grants Hao Longtao the ability to quickly master freezing powers, and its power is immense in the early stages.

As for whether he can be compared to Omega-level mutants, Hao Longtao is unsure.

However, with the system at his disposal, it seems he can enhance the Ice-Ice Fruit's power beyond the limits of freezing abilities in the One Piece manga.

As Hao Longtao used his wealth points, a wealth of experience in developing abilities flooded his mind.

My body was also strengthened during this promotion.

His physique surpassed the limits of ordinary people, entering an extraordinary level.

[The Ice-Ice Fruit's power has been upgraded to the Mastery level.]

[Continue using Wealth Points to upgrade the Ice-Ice Fruit's abilities?]

"promote."

Hao Longtao did not hesitate to continue spending his wealth points to enhance the Ice-Ice Fruit's abilities.

[Consuming 20 million wealth points, the Ice-Ice Fruit ability has been upgraded from the Proficiency level to the Mastery level.]

My mind was filled with a whole host of new experiences.

And the body is strengthened once again.

But Hao Longtao knew that he had only fully mastered the first stage of the Devil Fruit's power.

In reality, his development of the Ice-Ice Fruit's abilities has not yet reached the level of Admiral Aokiji.

Admiral Aokiji's development of the Ice-Ice Fruit's abilities should have reached the awakening level, which is also the second stage.

[To further enhance the freezing ability, five million Desire Points are needed to break through the current limitations and enter the second stage of the Devil Fruit ability: Awakening.]

Name: Hao Longtao

Wealth Points: 1400 (can be used to upgrade abilities)

Desire Points: 230 million (can be used to advance through realms)

Abilities: Ice-Ice Fruit (Mastery, Stage 1), Mysterious Track Fist (Beginner), Bajiquan (Beginner)

"Fortunately, even though I sold the rights to Fifty Shades of Grey, as the author of the novel, I can still gain some points of desire from it."

"Once the movie Fifty Shades of Grey is filmed and released worldwide, my desire level will explode."

Hao Longtao murmured.

But Hao Longtao knew that it was unrealistic to think he could dominate the Marvel universe with just the Ice-Ice Fruit.

Unless you can add points indefinitely to continuously improve your abilities.

But it's clear that I need to acquire a lot of wealth points and desire points.

Leaning back on the sofa, Hao Longtao closed his eyes to rest, his brain working furiously.

According to Hao Longtao, the concept of desire is related to the faith mentioned in online novels.

"The desires of people, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, that arise because of me can provide me with desire points as long as they reach a certain threshold."

"This is the Marvel universe, a world where heroes reign supreme."

"Actually, I have two paths to gain desire points: become a villain in everyone's eyes, or become a hero!!!"

hero?

Hao Longtao is an ordinary person who has never had the idea of ​​being a hero.

But when you possess great power, countless eyes in the world will be watching you, wanting to tear a piece of flesh from you.

Unless he casts a golden statue.

First, you have countless admirers who support you, making the world's rulers hesitant to openly and easily take action against you.

Secondly, your infamous reputation has erected a wall of fear, preventing anyone from even thinking of tearing a piece of your flesh.

"I am who I am, a unique spark."

I want both.

"I want to take them all."

In Hao Longtao's view, simply trying to gain the desire value of a group of people is a narrow-minded approach.

God created Jesus to harvest faith, and also allowed Satan to harvest fear.

"If I unleash my full power right now and freeze New York, will I gain a large amount of Desire Points?"

Hao Longtao smiled slightly.

His Ice-Ice Fruit ability is already very powerful.

Once awakened, he can use freezing power comparable to that of Admiral Aokiji.

However, he had lived in New York for several years and knew many people there.

The fact that freezing New York City killed millions of people only shows how severely one's own psychology is twisted.

Hao Longtao considers himself a normal person.

He also has desires and ambitions.

But it's not worth killing everyone in New York just for the sake of satisfying desires.

Moreover, Hao Longtao also has people he is wary of.

Professor X.

Physical damage is ineffective against him after he has been transformed into an elemental being.

But Professor X's abilities come from the mind.

If he were to invade his own brain...

"Keep doing the missions, but don't be too high-profile for now. I still have a long time before I face a life-or-death decision."

The day when Thanos, the purple potato man, snaps his fingers is still a long way off.

The image of Admiral Aokiji reappeared in my mind.

His combat skills from the anime were vividly presented in Hao Longtao's mind.

Hao Longtao used his own abilities to deduce and quickly mastered the ability that Aokiji had used before.

This is the advantage of the upgraded freezing ability: complete control over the fruit's power.

"There is no obstacle to copying Admiral Aokiji's skills."

Now, the cartoon character that comes to mind for Hao Longtao is not Admiral Aokiji.

Instead, it's another heartwarming anime that claims to kill off one of the main characters in every episode.

Akame ga Kill!

She possesses the Ice Imperial Arm, Demon Manifestation: Esdeath the Great General.

A super S-class battle maniac in anime.

The unique abilities developed from his Imperial Arms may be the direction for his future development of Devil Fruits.

Secret Technique 1: Mahapadma, freezes time and space, rendering no one except the user unable to move, but it consumes a huge amount of energy; even Esdeath could only activate it once a day.

Secret Technique Two: General Ice Storm first uses ice to create a large number of ice cavalry to store several days' worth of energy, and then releases it all at once, creating a blizzard that covers the entire empire.

Esdeath's Ice Imperial Arms has the basic ability to create and control ice.

While not 100% similar to the Devil Fruit ability that Hao Longtao currently controls, it is about 80-90% similar.

"Ability is like a lump of dough; once thoughts are materialized through ability, that ability can be molded at will!!!"

Hao Longtao's eyes shone with a burning light.

He understood that while he could hardly change the level of physical strength, he could infinitely expand the breadth of his abilities through his thinking.

Imagination is the sharpest knife.

Chapter Three: The Ghost Spider Woman? Gwen Stacy

Good morning, Jessica.

Hao Longtao greeted Jessica lazily.

Good morning, Hao.

Jessica, sporting panda eyes, responded with a lifeless sound, clearly influenced by the two cabinets next door.

Hao Longtao looked at Jessica Jones seriously and said, "You're not feeling well, Jessica. You should catch up on your sleep, but I can't help it. I still need to go to school."

“No.” Jessica Jones shook her head. “Hao, I think you’d better move to a place near the school rather than come to Hell’s Kitchen. It’s not a very friendly place for you.”

Hao Longtao smiled wryly:
