A Country Captain

Half a day later

New York

"So the Avenger wasn't actually played by the Avengers actor himself? One-star review."

Wang Ji, clad in a Ghillie Suit and no bigger than a palm, looked at the Captain before him and clicked his tongue, shaking his head. "But he really does have A Country's finest ass."

Ghillie Suit, Ant-Man Hack.

Actually, right after obtaining the Endless Source system and having it create the PUBG System and Hack System, he had received several "beginner gift packs" that very day.

When he had first obtained the Endless Source system, since he had not followed its suggestion to come directly to A Country and acquire the Super Serum to improve his physique, the system had consumed a great deal of energy to define his body, enhancing his physique and ensuring his safety.

After that, creating and simulating the PUBG System, Hack System, and body domain had consumed more energy.

Then, calculating some algorithm had used up a massive amount of energy.

Finally, it had created one hack and three equipment enhancement algorithms for him.

After that, its energy had been drained, and it entered a low-power standby mode.

Wang Ji's abilities worked like this: everything he possessed came from the system that called itself Endless Source. It had now simulated itself as a Super Gene Engine System of the Shenhe civilization.

At least, that was how it appeared in the Dark Dimension's data and in his perceptions.

The Endless Source Gene Engine System was his foundation. Although he still only had an ordinary human physique, that was what it was called.

His physical strength and attributes came from definition-based enhancement.

Just like his equipment, which really was merely ordinary items enhanced through definition.

As for the PUBG System and Hack System, they were subsidiary systems created for him by Endless Source. To some extent, they were products born from his own preferences.

The subsidiary systems were merely branches of the main system.

If it had been able to simulate Ultraman abilities back then, he would have had an Ultraman System.

But it did not matter. He had not watched much Ultraman anyway.

And the first batch of hacks it had created back then included the Speed Hack.

There were also three pieces of equipment: cola, grenades, and the Ghillie Suit.

As for the Frying Pan, that had come a few days later.

The Speed Hack gave him extreme speed. Cola could restore injuries, grenades could knock down any unit below the level of a god, and the Ghillie Suit had been defined by the system as invisibility.

Once he put on the Ghillie Suit, he entered invisibility mode. He could not be seen, nor could ordinary conventional detection methods detect him.

To some extent, his hacks and equipment had been simulated according to the settings of the Chicken Dinner Game, though some had changed, like this Ghillie Suit.

The Ghillie Suit in the game was nothing special at all, so it had been defined as invisibility.

Wang Ji possessed an equipment definition enhancement algorithm. He could use the system and those algorithms to define ordinary objects, defining a Ghillie Suit as an invisibility cloak.

In fact, when he got out of the taxi and headed for the airport, encountering the Taotie invasion on Airport Road along the way, he had worn the Ghillie Suit to evade the cameras and used the Speed Hack to run all the way there.

Whenever he needed to use superpowers without wanting ordinary people to see him, he put on the Ghillie Suit.

Later, he had developed other hacks. Some had been used, while others had yet to be tested.

The ones he had used included the Digging Hack, that ability to travel underground.

And now, the Ant-Man Hack.

He had always wanted an Infinite Teleportation Hack. That would be far stronger than the Speed Hack.

Unfortunately, according to his calculations, the algorithms and technical support required for Infinite Teleportation were far beyond what his current conditions could achieve. The gap was simply too great.

Wormhole knowledge at a sufficient level, as well as extremely powerful computational ability—those were only the requirements he currently knew of.

In the end, his Endless Source system was merely doing its best to simulate the Chicken Dinner Game and evolve superpowers for him.

It was still constrained by conditions.

And some things that were very easy to achieve, he had accomplished long ago.

Some that were slightly more difficult, he could overcome by carefully writing programs.

For example, the Ant-Man Hack compressed atomic spacing, adjusted interatomic forces, and defined cellular functions as unchanged.

The Digging Hack temporarily altered the molecular structure and properties of the soil around his body, giving it fluid-like properties that allowed Wang Ji to swim through it freely.

Nothing came from nothing.

Something as simple as the Speed Hack temporarily enhanced the data for his leg muscles and bones, increased his speed data, and eliminated fatigue damage to his legs while running.

Some things were difficult to achieve, and he still could not achieve them now.

But Wang Ji had ultimately realized one thing: his abilities were not limited to the Chicken Dinner Game and hacks. They would not be limited to them in the future, nor should they be.

Still, he had never understood what sort of nature his system's abilities truly possessed. Even the information obtained from De Nuo No. 3 contained no data that could describe abilities as bizarre as his system's.

He did not even have any concept of the energy the system kept mentioning, and the system itself had not provided one either.

Things like light energy, dark energy, biological energy, and so on all had names.

Wang Ji knew he was supposedly scientific, but clearly far less scientific than everyone else.

In truth, he spent his time researching, learning new knowledge, developing new abilities, creating new equipment, writing these programs, studying programs to reduce debuffs on the side, dating, attending team training during the day, carrying a Rocket Launcher around when there was nothing to do, and checking up on aliens from time to time... He was incredibly busy.

There were also countless trivial matters. For example, his clothes would burst apart during battle, so he had spent a little time defining and strengthening his clothing so it would not rip apart so easily.

Like when he kicked Liu Chuang flying that time, and his shoes remained completely unscathed.

It had only been a little over twenty days since he gained his abilities. Who knew how a college student from a pre-nuclear age was doing all these things at once? Who knew how much he had done?

In fact, he was far more tired now than when he had been an ordinary person.

And now, this palm-sized little guy still had to come out and struggle on his own.

But baby was suffering, and baby would not say it.

He should have come here in the first place. He had been called away to Super God Academy, and after arriving, he had wanted to wait and see when they would give him an enhancement serum to improve his physique. If no one had considered it, he had actually intended to apply for one himself.

He just had not expected that it was not that no one had considered it. They wanted to set conditions with him, drag things out, and grind down his arrogance... He had heard every word clearly.

Sigh, too small-minded...

Palm-sized Wang Ji, wearing the Ghillie Suit, stood not far behind the Captain. He sighed inwardly as he watched the Captain sit down on the sofa. A flash of Golden Light flickered through his mind, sending out a ripple.

"Redefine Steve Rogers's mental state: spacing out, sluggish movements, reminiscing about the past with longing, two hours."

An invisible ripple swept through Rogers's mind. His head seemed to sway slightly, and his sharp eyes suddenly changed, becoming gentle and profound.

He stared blankly at the vase of flowers before him, sinking into deep memories.

"Peggy..."

He murmured softly, seeming to curl lazily into the sofa, unwilling to move.

Palm-sized Wang Ji turned and left, shaking his head with a click of his tongue. "A scumbag who got done with the aunt and moved on to the niece~"
