American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 3 Super Regeneration

"Hey, don't fight over me! I'll stick with the jungler this game." Tomie was secretly delighted to see the two arguing about her. She said into her phone, "After this game, I'll stick with whoever is the best next game. After all, Tomie loves good guys the most."

"Let the results speak for themselves." This guy was really pushing his own interests forward. Xiao Xian glanced at Tomie and said before the two of them could start criticizing him. As a veteran gamer and a master of the game, Xiao Xian wasn't afraid of losing the argument with these two, but he was worried about being provoked in front of Tomie.

"Tch~ Just wait and see, I'll show you what real skill is." Upon hearing this, mid-laner Gao Jianli temporarily abandoned his plan to hurl insults and started playing seriously online. Half a minute later, Gao Jianli was hit by Angela's second skill again and was taken down by five fireballs that followed closely by Angela.

"My hand slipped, it was a mistake. My skills weren't great today. It's mainly because Angela got two kills, so she was harder to deal with. But it's okay, watch how I handle her. Once I reach level four, she's doomed," Gao Jianli explained forcefully.

Seeing Angela, who had almost no health left, attacking his own tower, Xiao Xian didn't hesitate. He and Tomie circled around from behind, used his first skill to block the stun, and then used a combo of skills and basic attacks to kill Angela.

"It's mainly because I was badly injured that the jungler was able to get this kill. If you had come earlier, I wouldn't have died," Gao Jianli commented again.

"Just admit you're bad, don't make so many excuses." Top laner Arthur mercilessly exposed Gao Jianli's terrible nature.

"What did you say! Say it again if you dare! Do you believe I'll kill you!" Gao Jianli completely lost his temper upon hearing this and directly cursed the top laner Arthur.

"Go ahead and say it, I'm not afraid of you! You useless coward! Miss, you absolutely mustn't go with him, come with me, I'm not like that good-for-nothing." Arthur was not intimidated at all and directly started to berate Gao Jianli.

"Where are you! Give me your address, you piece of trash! I'll make you pay!" Gao Jianli's voice was so angry that he could barely maintain his bubbly tone.

"Go ahead and report me, I'm not afraid of you! I'm at Bashu University, come on if you dare! If you don't, may your whole family die a violent death!" Arthur showed no fear and immediately started the family tree check.

Gao Jianli didn't respond after that, and simply hung up. Fu Jiang covered her mouth and chuckled.

"This game is really fun."

"I AFK'd, I'll just have to revive it later. Let's go play some matchmaking instead," Xiao Xian said seriously, looking like a seasoned otaku who was really worried about losing points, while his mind was racing.

Could Tomie's ability be activated over an internet connection? Or could it be transmitted through sound? Also, is Gao Jianli really going to an offline PK? Is Tomie's ability that powerful, or is this guy just not very bright?

Xiao Xian remembered that Tomie in the manga enjoyed watching her suitors kill each other, and he felt that Tomie was the kind of person who would do such a thing.

Looking at the system time, Xiao Xian had been with Fu Jiang for 20 minutes, but his feelings of love and hate were still within a controllable range.

Xiao Xian thought there were several possibilities. For example, because Xiao Xian knew that the other party was Tomie, he was already on guard and was always careful not to be charmed by Tomie or arouse his murderous intent. Or, Xiao Xian's soul may have undergone some unknown changes during the transmigration process, so he had developed resistance to Tomie's influence.

"Okay." Tomie's lips curled up, as if she had found some new and interesting toy. She happily picked up her phone and started another game with Xiao Xian.

After playing two more games with Tomie, Xiao Xian watched expectantly as the system's time progress bar filled up at the end of the second game. With a "ding," the system gave a notification that the task was completed.

Ding! Mission: Tomie? Tomie! Completed. Reward: Tomie - Super Regeneration (Modified)!

As the system notification sounded, Xiao Xian felt a change in his body. He had a feeling that even if his head were cut off, he would not die!

Of course, on the surface, Xiao Xian remained calm and played the game with Fu Jiang until the end, then took his leave. After returning home, he took out a knife and made a small cut on his hand, about one centimeter long.

"Hmm, why isn't it healed yet?"

After looking at the wound on his arm for a minute, Xiao Xian felt itchy, but it was not healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xiao Xian began to recall Tomie's regenerative ability in the manga. In the manga, Tomie could indeed recover even when she only had one cell and one drop of blood left, but the recovery speed seemed to be average most of the time, not to the point that she could completely grow a body in a few days.

However, Tomie seems to recover extremely quickly in the later stages. After being burned, her cells escaped directly into the air, and she instantly returned to human form.

He glanced at the skill description again: "A super regenerative ability that can recover by relying on nutrients, hatred, etc." He didn't understand the "etc." for the time being, but he did understand nutrients and hatred.

He opened the refrigerator, took out a bag of bread, and ate the whole bag in no time. However, perhaps because it takes time for people to digest food, Xiao Xian did not feel that his recovery speed had improved.

"Looks like I need to prepare some glucose or something. Direct injection is much faster for digestion than eating." Xiao Xian thought to himself as he stroked his chin.

"Then let's try something else: hatred."

Xiao Xian took out his phone, searched the original owner's memories, and after thinking for a moment, sent a message to the original owner's friend Jack.

"Jack, there's something I have to confess to you. Actually, I had a relationship with your ex-girlfriend while you were dating her. Not only me, but David also slept with your ex-girlfriend, and he didn't use protection. I hope you can forgive me."

Then Xiao Xian sent another message to David.

"David, I told Jack about your affair with Jack's ex-girlfriend. If you're near him, you'd better be careful."

After sending the two messages, Jack immediately called back. Xiao Xian thought for a moment before answering the phone.

"What?! F**k! Xiao Xian, is this some kind of weird truth or dare game? Or a prank challenge?" Jack asked incredulously as soon as he answered the phone.

"Uh, I'm sorry, Jack. It was your ex-girlfriend Beth who made the first move, and I couldn't control myself." Xiao Xian looked at the wound on his hand and felt that the itching had intensified, and the wound was visibly fading. It seemed that hatred really could speed up the healing process.

"F**k! Xiao Xian! I just got back together with Beth! I was even planning to propose to her!" Jack's devastated voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ah~ Sorry, I didn't know that. I thought you two had broken up completely." Xiao Xian touched his nose upon hearing this. "After all, you said back then that there was no way you two could get back together."

The only response Xiao Xian received was the busy tone after the phone call ended.
