Su Ming was lying in the bathtub studying the system and talents, occasionally releasing Heat Vision to raise the water temperature, which was very pleasant.
Open the properties panel:
[Name: Su Ming]
[Age:29]
[Physical fitness: 22255]
[Energy:103%]
[Current Account: $505.1 billion]
[Existing talents: Deadpool-Level Recovery, Dynamic Vision Lv2, Jeet Kune Do Mastery, Demigod Body, Formless Mask, Danger Sense Lv2, Precision Throwing Lv2, Sketch Mastery, Steel Body Lv5, Magnetic Control Lv5, Heat Vision Lv3, Sling Ring Portal Lv1, Freeze Breath Lv4, Charging Physique]
Seeing that the age column had unknowingly turned into 29, Su Ming couldn't help but sigh that time flies by so fast.
It feels like not long after I traveled through time, I became a Bensan player...
"As long as you have money and a system, life expectancy shouldn't be a problem..."
Eliminating those messy thoughts, Su Ming continued to study talent.
As everyone knows, when upgraded to Demigod Body, its lifespan has far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Now, if you want to upgrade Su Ming's few talented talents and skills:
Magnetic Control requires Uru metal;
Steel Body requires Vibranium;
Demigod Body requires 6 types of Infinity Stones energy, and there are still 4 types left;
Heat Vision and Freeze Breath don't need anything extra, but the money is not enough...
There are two options before you.
One is to upgrade all existing talent levels to see if anything interesting will be unlocked;
The other is to redeem new talents at System Shop to continue to expand the scope of abilities.
And Su Ming is only thinking about new talents and new skills.
The balance is more than 500 billion, how can it be exchanged for a similar talent...
So, Su Ming looked at System Shop, his eyes focused on those talents with high prices.
I have never been so generous.
After looking at it, Su Ming discovered a problem.
These high-priced talents in System Shop are either very powerful visible to the naked eye, or they exceed ordinary people's perception of power.
For example, when Freeze Breath is upgraded to the full level, it can achieve the effect of freezing molecular motion, which is equivalent to a disguised freezing time;
Or Heat Vision can have the power to penetrate planets when upgraded to full level;
Naturally, the price for such a powerful ability is ridiculously high.
Other talents, such as [Causality→Word Becomes Law], require 50 billion US dollars to redeem at the beginning.
Seeing this can't help but remind you of some talents whose initial price is extremely low.
But Su Ming knows that if the talent in the system is confused by the initial price and thinks that this talent is too cheap, then you will be fooled.
Because after redeeming the talent, the upgrade interface for this talent will be opened, and the real money burning has just begun.
This means that some talents may seem affordable, but are actually unaffordable.
What's more, when a talent is upgraded to its full level, it often requires some materials and a huge amount of dollars to complete.
Some of these materials have never been heard of before, which shows how valuable they are.
All in all, low-priced talents are not necessarily weak, but expensive talents are definitely strong!
The Causality series also has some capabilities involving space and time, and the price is extremely high.
Su Ming vaguely feels that even if he redeems it, he may not be able to afford it.
Then the problem comes, and these seemingly heaven-defying abilities are often weak when the level is low.
The price/performance ratio is not high.
Therefore, with the current financial resources, Su Ming still dare not redeem the abilities that are so expensive at the beginning, even if they look really delicious.
Suddenly, Su Ming's eyes were attracted by a talent:
[Black King→Energy Absorption and Release.8 billion US dollars]
"This seems a bit similar to the Charging Physique given by the system..."
It's just that Charging Physique can only absorb pure energy, just like the electrical energy that has been tested.
The ability of Black King in memory can absorb any form of energy and release it freely.
Isn't this the perfect advanced version of Charging Physique?
The kinetic energy of bullets, the heat energy of explosions, and even the atomic energy of nuclear submarines can all be absorbed...
If you have it, Su Ming will not have to worry about insufficient energy in future battles.
Bullets, punches, energy cannons, and even collisions when you fall to the ground...
can draw energy from it.
The more energy is generated, the more energy can be released at will and the progress can be controlled. Wouldn't it become a perpetual motion machine?
"Good stuff!"
Su Ming's eyes lit up.
Black King's talent can just make up for his current shortcomings that are limited by energy.
Some people may ask, since we already have Charging Physique, wouldn't it be duplicative to acquire another Black King?
No.
Charging Physique is just an additional setting after the energy indicator appears on the system.
After all, discharging energy without replenishing it is a kind of bandit logic, and it is not consistent with the conservation of energy.
It only allows Su Ming to replenish energy through the body, and does not mean that it can absorb any form of energy.
At least there is only one charging method currently available - electric shock.
You can't go to the power plant every time you run out of energy...
Therefore, this talent of Black King is simply tailor-made for the current Su Ming.
From now on, Su Ming no longer has to worry about insufficient energy.
There are no guns or cannons, the enemy made them for us!
In line with the principle of only choosing the right one and not the expensive one, after some thinking, Su Ming decisively won:
"Exchange!"
[-8 billion U. S. dollars. Exchange successful! Account balance: 497.1 billion U. S. dollars]
As soon as the system prompt ended, Su Ming felt that the temperature of the hot water in the bathtub that had just been heated to almost boiling dropped sharply.
In a blink of an eye, the body temperature dropped to normal.
And Su Ming could clearly see the faintly trembling transparent ripples flowing into his body in the water.
That is the heat energy of the bath water being swallowed into the body.
This phenomenon made Su Ming think of a fun thing:
"If Heat Vision is released to heat water, the body will then return Energy Absorption...
Or release Heat Vision directly to yourself...
What will happen?"
With the strong support of Steel Body, Su Ming started a wave of bold experiments:
Raise your hand, aim your eyes at the palm of your hand, Heat Vision releases:
"Zi--"
"Buzz--"
Heat Vision, which gathers high concentration of heat and penetration, hits the palm of your hand instantly.
At the same time, the air near the palm of the hand twisted and trembled slightly, and the energy of Heat Vision was absorbed by the palm of the hand.
Within two seconds, Su Ming realized something was wrong...
Because he had just exchanged for a new talent and had not yet upgraded, Heat Vision's energy was too strong and quickly exceeded the threshold of Energy Absorption.
A wisp of black smoke slowly rose from Su Ming's palm.
"Hiss--gud-gup--"
Stop Heat Vision, Su Ming shook off the stinging hand and put it into the water.
As if a red-hot iron block was put into the bathtub, the sound sounded, and a cloud of water mist evaporated and rose, approaching the boiling and bubbling water in the bathtub.
But this time, the body did not absorb the heat in the water back.
"I knew..."
Seeing how limited the energy absorbed by the junior Energy Absorption and Release was, Su Ming knew that talents that had not been upgraded could not be used at all.
Then the talent upgrade interface opened:
[Energy Absorption and Release LV2 (cloud bomb array equivalent absorption/release) 20 billion US dollars]
[Energy Absorption and Release LV3 (Tactical Nuclear Weapon Yield Absorption/Release) US$80 Billion]
[Energy Absorption and Release LV4 (strategic nuclear weapons equivalent absorption/release) US$320 billion]
"Hiss--"
Su Ming, who knew this thing was expensive to upgrade, but didn't expect it to be so expensive, took a deep breath after seeing the upgrade price.
"Other people's strategic level is worth tens of billions at most, so why is this talented strategic level worth hundreds of billions?"
What if my money comes from the wind?
Those were the tanks I had exchanged for them one by one in Interstellar Combat Tournament Earth Division.
Staring at this upgrade interface, Su Ming hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to upgrade.
He thought that the upgrade here would increase the threshold of Energy Absorption and Release's single talent.
And I still don't know how much energy my Demigod Body and Steel Body bodies can hold.
If the amount of Energy Absorption and Release increases, can it be understood that the total amount of energy stored in the body also increases?
Thinking of this, Su Ming understands why this talent upgrade costs money...
Because it is fundamentally changing your physique.
"Upgrade!"
