The flames and shrapnel from the Stikkbomb detonated the Inferno Gun's battery pack.
A violent sympathetic explosion occurred, and the underground passage completely collapsed.
As you were blasted to pieces, you were also buried beneath thousands of tons of earth and stone.
You died.
This simulation has ended. Time elapsed: thirty days. This simulation grants the following retainable options. 1. Cadian Shock Troops soldier kit (brand new) 2. A bundle of Stikkbombs (twelve) 3. Cadian Grenadier combat experience (one month) This simulation lasted more than twenty-four hours. Simulator consumption has not been waived. Cooldown: thirty hours. Currently available cooldown time: six days and five hours (one hundred and forty-nine hours) Consume cooldown time? Cooldown time not consumed. The Simulator has entered natural cooldown (cooldown may be waived at any time).
At that moment, Rorschach, lying in bed, could not help but feel his blood boil.
Even if it had only been a brief life simulated by the Simulator.
He had still been stunned by the string of choices he had made.
Loyalty!
What astonishing loyalty!
After glancing at the completed simulation's rewards, the stirred-up Rorschach smiled even more brightly.
Although he still had not gotten the Imperium firearms he had been longing for.
A month of Cadian Grenadier combat experience was even better!
This was no simple training.
It was combat experience honed by walking the line between life and death every day!
Ignoring the other two rewards.
Rorschach swiftly chose the third option.
In an instant, the muscle tissue throughout Rorschach's body.
Seemed to absorb an enormous amount of nourishment and exercise.
And expanded by another huge margin!
Not only that.
Even his skeletal structure underwent a remarkable change.
His entire frame began to grow continuously.
His height actually rose from 1.75 meters to 1.8 meters!
The 2.1-meter bedframe was now.
Almost too small for Rorschach!
At the same time, countless combat techniques honed through life-and-death trials by Cadian Grenadiers.
Poured into Rorschach's mind in an unending stream.
And swiftly transformed from memories into instincts etched deeply into his body!
The fearless spiritual will of a battle-hardened veteran suddenly burst from Rorschach's eyes!
Then, that spiritual will rapidly faded and merged away, hiding somewhere deeper within him.
"Whew—"
Rorschach abruptly sat up in bed and looked down at himself.
At that moment, the muscles all over his body were full and swollen, while his skin seemed to glow.
With a slight exertion of force, power greater than before answered his will.
Rorschach even felt that he was more than twice as strong as he had been just minutes ago!
"Ha ha!"
Excited, Rorschach pushed off with one hand.
And easily leaped from the bed to the floor.
He swung his fist hard, the movement powerful and forceful!
However, Rorschach's excitement did not last long.
The practical problems constantly surfacing in his mind troubled him.
Wearing only a pair of underwear, Rorschach searched through the entire bedroom.
Before barely piecing together a few sets of clothes that more or less fit him.
He needed to buy an entirely new wardrobe.
As Rorschach pulled on an oversized tracksuit, he kept thinking.
Problems that could be solved with money were naturally simple.
But some problems could not be solved with money...
For example, how was he supposed to explain.
The drastic changes to his body to the aunt he lived with day and night?
At that moment, as Rorschach sat by the bed thinking hard, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Maybe... this could work!"
As the neurons in his brain continuously collided and sparked, something that barely counted as a plan emerged.
Rorschach bent over and dragged a black duffel bag out from beneath the bed.
When he unzipped it, stacks upon stacks of colorful banknotes appeared before his eyes.
The apartment living room.
His worried aunt curled up cross-legged on the sofa.
After just one night, her slightly round chin seemed to have sharpened somewhat, making her look a little thinner.
Her fingertips, roughened by long-term contact with ingredients, repeatedly pressed the calculator.
Again and again, she calculated the restaurant's losses and the additional expenses needed for renovations and reopening.
Although the restaurant's monthly revenue had always been good, and its profits were fairly substantial.
Once all costs and hefty taxes were deducted.
If the restaurant was to reopen for business.
His aunt would have no choice but to dip into the family's savings.
Those savings were not merely her future retirement fund.
They were also the only support she had for putting Rorschach through college.
And even for Rorschach getting married and having children someday!
Moreover, Rorschach's parents had died too early.
Being ordinary people, they had not left behind much of an inheritance.
If even she, Rorschach's only guardian.
Did not consider his future.
Then who else could help that obedient, sensible Rorschach?
Thinking of this, his aunt's tightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed.
She slowly let out a long sigh and murmured to herself:
"Xiulian, Xiulian... you're just destined to work yourself to the bone for your whole life..."
His decisive aunt promptly made her final decision.
She would first use her own retirement money to cover the funding gap.
The portion saved for Rorschach would remain untouched!
Creak—
Just then, the wooden door to Rorschach's bedroom made a soft sound and slowly opened.
"Hm?"
His aunt raised her head and looked toward the sound.
Only to see Rorschach step out with a cold expression, visibly taller and more muscular than he had been yesterday!
If that was not enough to shock her.
Then atop Rorschach's raised, thick arm was an enormous pile of colorful banknotes!
His aunt had always been exceptionally sensitive to amounts of money, and she calculated the rough total in that pile almost at a glance!
There was definitely no less than three hundred thousand!
Even for his aunt, who owned a restaurant.
That was a huge sum of money!
In an instant, her heart began pounding wildly, and even her breathing became rushed.
"Rorschach—"
Her eyes flew wide open, her slightly round chin trembling as she shouted in a flustered panic:
"Y-you, where did you get so much money? Did you do something bad?"
"Rorschach! Are you trying to anger me to death?"
His aunt had never been so irritable, so frightened and at a loss.
Rorschach was her only family.
The precious child she had watched grow up from infancy, the apple of her eye.
To some extent, he was even her son!
But at this very moment, the always obedient Rorschach.
Had suddenly produced such a large amount of money from an unknown source.
For his law-abiding aunt, it was simply far too shocking.
Yet Rorschach, his expression cold, remained silent.
He merely walked over to his aunt.
Bent down, and placed the pile of cash on the table, covering the spread-out bills and notes on top.
Rorschach looked at his aunt, whose eyes were brimming with tears and whose entire body was trembling.
After taking a deep breath, he said each word slowly and clearly:
"Aunt, have you heard of Captain America?"
For a moment, his aunt froze.
Her face was full of confusion, as though she had even forgotten to cry.
"Huh?"
