American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 11 Development of Abilities

Having realized how difficult the path to becoming a self-made superhero without any resources is in this world, Xiao Xian stopped wandering the streets and immediately went home to prepare his resume.

If you're going to apply, apply to the big ones. It's good to have a big tree to lean on. Xiao Xian sent multiple resumes to many superhero agencies, including Wayne Manor, Stark Manor, Osborn Manor, Richards Manor, Charles Manor, and Oliver Manor. After all, submitting resumes doesn't cost any money.

Some of these companies, like Wayne Man, are already well-known superhero agencies, while others are relatively new, such as Osborn Man.

What they have in common is that they were all founded by well-known figures whom Xiao Xian had a good impression of, and they are rich and powerful. Even if their development is only average now, they will probably not be bad in the future. They have enough connections and backgrounds, at least enough to be the first agency. Anyway, Amelia's first agency contract was only for two years.

Xiao Xian will eventually either start his own company or join Wayne's superhero agency to get closer to Superman.

It was a waste of time to submit resumes, fill out forms, and do all sorts of other things. By the time Xiao Xian finished all of this, it was already late at night.

"It feels like graduation season again." After getting up and stretching a bit, Xiao Xian found that he didn't feel any muscle soreness or anything like that after sitting in front of the computer for so long.

Even his eyes didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Xiao Xian got up and went to the balcony to look at the New York night view. He thought that the strangeness in his body was obviously related to super regeneration.

Reality is neither a comic nor a game, and Xiao Xian's super regeneration ability is not just a skill icon. With super regeneration ability comes a series of other things, which Xiao Xian had not realized before, but now he suddenly understands.

The system gave Xiao Xian super regeneration ability, not super regeneration skill. It can only be triggered under certain conditions, and when it is not triggered, it is the same as not having this skill.

Xiao Xian doesn't yet understand the principle behind super regeneration, but it's clear that super regeneration can heal both visible wounds and various invisible micro-damage.

Furthermore, Xiao Xian guessed that his cell activity, division rate, and other data should be very different from before, especially the upper limit of the number of divisions, the division process, the growth rate, and the growth process, all of which have undergone tremendous changes.

Putting aside other things, I've never heard of normal cells growing by relying on the hatred of others.

In a normal world, someone with Xiao Xian's physique would be worried about being dissected, but this is a superhero world with a bunch of weird monsters, Superman in the sky, Aquaman in the water, Spider-Man next door, a bunch of mutants in X-Men, and the demigod Diana, and the Flash of Speed ​​Force. In terms of anatomical value, Xiao Xian is really not worth mentioning now.

Of course, this doesn't include the system, but Xiao Xiancai wouldn't expose the system.

Returning to the topic of regeneration, Xiao Xian thought for a moment. The only benefits or secondary abilities he could think of that regeneration ability brought him were, on the one hand, his energy source. He could not only obtain energy through food, but also rely on the hatred of others to sustain his activities and growth.

Xiao Xian felt that the reason he could obtain energy without food was very simple: even when he was beaten down to only one cell, he could still increase his regeneration and recovery speed by relying on hatred. Obviously, in this process, hatred provided energy and matter for cell activity, growth and division.

Hatred provides the energy and matter for cellular activity and even growth, so what difference does eating or not eating make?

The method to verify this ability is also very simple. Xiao Xian will know once he tries fasting for a period of time. Xiao Xian did not eat dinner today. So far, from noon to late at night, Xiao Xian's food intake is zero, but he feels energetic and does not feel hungry at all.

On the other hand, there is recovery ability, or rather, endurance. Relying on regenerative abilities to repair various cells and hidden injuries in the body, and with hatred providing energy for activities, Xiao Xian's recovery speed and physical strength will be improved.

Furthermore, due to the continuous repair of cells, Xiao Xian's physical functions may remain at their peak, his appearance will remain youthful, his lifespan should be extended accordingly, and he may even no longer die from aging.

In addition, most viruses and bacteria are likely to be ineffective against Xiao Xian. Even if they are not ineffective, Xiao Xian is not afraid of being infected by the virus. He can simply commit suicide and then regenerate using his pre-infection flesh and blood as the core. Of course, the premise for doing so is that the virus does not involve the soul.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xian glanced at the system interface. It seemed that the system had only given Xiao Xian Tomie's super regeneration (modification) ability, but in reality, it had changed the essence of Xiao Xian's life.

In particular, the ability to feed on hatred that comes with the super regeneration ability is no weaker than the super regeneration itself. If this is confirmed, it means that Xiao Xian has transformed from an ordinary creature that can only obtain energy and nutrients from food into a superhuman being who can survive by relying on the emotional power of others, just like some evil gods or gods of faith. At least in terms of physical appearance, this is the case.

In addition, the recovery ability is also very useful; it's a god-tier skill whether in battle, in daily life, or in emotional life.

As expected, abilities need to be developed. It's called super regeneration, but if developed well, this ability can be used not only for teleportation, but also as ration pills, and even blue pills. Simply using it only for regeneration would be a waste.

Furthermore, if Xiao Xian had a way to break free from the self-limitations of the human body, he should be able to easily possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. Of course, the price might be that his bones would break after he threw a full-force punch. But this wouldn't be a big problem for Xiao Xian, who has the ability to regenerate.

Looking at the time, it was already past 11 p.m. Xiao Xian shrugged and left the balcony, planning to test his recovery ability tonight.

Shortly after Xiao Xian left the balcony, Peter, dressed as Spider-Man and carrying a bag, climbed back into the room from the adjacent balcony, cursing and swearing.

"Is this guy crazy?! m***f***k standing on the balcony for so long at night, damn it! If I wasn't afraid of being exposed, I would have punched him."

Back home, Peter opened the bag, revealing the jewelry and cash inside. Looking at the glittering jewels and the gleaming green US dollars, Peter's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. Tonight had been quite fruitful! He now had enough money to take his goddess on a trip, and he could even buy her a beautiful necklace.
