Super-Soldier Serum

Hearing the system's voice, Xu Mo was stunned for a moment before bursting with joy.

This was a renowned treasure from that world, and one of Lord Luo's strongest treasures in his later years!

A miniature nine-story black tower instantly appeared before Xu Mo.

The tower flashed and vanished into his brow.

Information about the Astral Tower immediately surfaced in his mind.

"The Astral Tower (Enhanced): A single treasure combining defense, soul defense, sealing, attack, and a palace. Its true form stands one hundred million light-years tall and can freely change size—expanding to tens of billions of light-years or shrinking into a speck of dust. It contains countless Supreme Treasures: Sealing Stars. Every star is the size of a sun, and enemies sealed within cannot break free!"

"One hundred million light-years?"

If he remembered correctly, the original Astral Tower had only been nine light-years tall, and its Sealing Stars had merely been Heavy Treasures.

Yet this enhanced Astral Tower was not only larger, but every Sealing Star within had also been upgraded into a Supreme Treasure.

Xu Mo guessed that its enhanced abilities were not limited to this.

The Astral Tower had likely surpassed even the level of a God King-grade treasure.

However, he would need to fully control it before learning about its other aspects.

Unfortunately, the current Xu Mo was still far from being able to wield it.

Even using it at a basic level required reaching the World Lord realm!

Still, the Astral Tower was not entirely useless to him now!

After all, this world had no shortage of Mutants capable of reading and altering other people's memories.

As a treasure with soul defense capabilities, with the Astral Tower guarding his sea of consciousness, Xu Mo would no longer need to worry about Mutants reading or altering his memories.

Simply put, the Astral Tower he had been rewarded was an Astral Tower Plus Pro Max Ultra S edition.

Just as Xu Mo was marveling at this reward, the system's voice rang out in his mind again.

"Ding! The system shop has been activated!"

"Congratulations, Host. You have received 1,000 points!"

With a thought, an exchange list visible only to him appeared before his eyes.

With just a cursory glance, Xu Mo realized it contained everything imaginable.

[A-rank throwing knife. Points required: 10]

[Infinite-Ammo Barrett. Points required: 500]

[Black God Suit. Points required: 60,000]

[Telepathy. Mutant ability. Points required: 80,000]

[Magnetic Field Control. Mutant ability. Points required: 80,000]

[Sky-Escape Shuttle. Third-stage psychic weapon. Points required: 1,000,000]

[God-Splitting Weapon. One of the Controller's nine divine weapons. Points required: 50,000,000]

Xu Mo immediately scrolled further down the list. The treasures and abilities that appeared afterward made his eyes burn with desire.

The Black Prison Tower, Five-Colored Aurora Lake, Chaos Golden Wings, Phoenix Force, Chaos Magic...

But the string of zeros after their prices quickly calmed him down.

Moreover, he found the Astral Tower among them as well.

[Astral Tower (Unique). God King-grade weapon. Points required: 10 quadrillion]

Seeing that massive number made Xu Mo feel dizzy.

Although he did not know how many points killing villains would earn him, gathering that many points would certainly not be easy.

By that measure, he had truly struck it rich.

Xu Mo browsed the exchange list for over half an hour.

The items within left him dazzled.

However, he only had the 1,000 points granted by the system, so he could not exchange for most of them.

"System, only display items that I can exchange for!"

At his command, many items disappeared from the shop.

After browsing for a while longer, Xu Mo's gaze settled on an item in the shop.

"Super-Soldier Serum: A modified version identical to Captain America's, with no risk of failure. After use, it will raise physical fitness to the human limit within one week!"

If he wanted to cultivate the techniques in his mind,

the minimum requirement was reaching the level of a Prospective Martial Warrior.

That meant a punching force exceeding 900 kilograms and a speed of 25 meters per second.

Unlike the bodies transformed by the RR Virus in that world, reaching such a level through training alone in this world was nothing more than a fool's dream.

This Super-Soldier Serum, however, could help him directly reach that level.

"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Super-Soldier Serum. 1,000 points deducted!"

As the system's voice fell, a silver syringe appeared in Xu Mo's hand.

Glancing at Wanda, who was still asleep beside him, Xu Mo stood and headed outside the bedroom.

Inside the gym on the second floor of the villa,

Xu Mo sat cross-legged on the floor, bare-chested.

Taking a deep breath, he plunged the syringe in his hand into his arm.

As the liquid entered his body, Xu Mo's muscles suddenly tensed. Intense pain surged through him, but it remained within his tolerance.

More than half an hour passed.

As the pain gradually faded, Xu Mo finally loosened his clenched teeth and slowly opened his eyes.

He lowered his head and looked at his bare upper body.

A physique like that of a bodybuilder came into view.

Eight abdominal muscles lined both sides of his stomach in neat rows.

Walking over to the mirror, Xu Mo looked at his perfect reflection and could barely believe it.

Although he had exercised regularly in the past, he could only be considered not skinny.

He was utterly incomparable to his current body of streamlined muscles.

Moreover, compared to before, his skin had become several shades fairer, and even his original height of around 1.8 meters seemed to have increased by several centimeters.

His body also felt as though it possessed inexhaustible strength.

"System, open the status panel!"

In an instant, a screen visible only to him appeared before his eyes.

He looked at it.

[Name: Xu Mo]

[Age: 20]

[Strength: 600 kg]

[Speed: 20 m/s]

[Abilities: None]

[Points: 0]

Looking at the series of values on the status panel, Xu Mo clicked his tongue in amazement.

As expected of the Super-Soldier Serum. It had brought him to this level immediately after use.

After all, to increase safety, this improved serum did not release all its effects at once. Other than the initial explosive increase to a certain level, it would continue steadily improving his physical fitness over the course of a week.

"I wonder what level I'll reach after a week?"

A hint of anticipation appeared in Xu Mo's eyes.

Still, once he fully absorbed the serum's effects, reaching the level of a Junior Warrior should definitely not be a problem.

Then, he could begin cultivating Genetic Origin Energy.

He closed the system panel.

Xu Mo stood and entered the gym's bathroom.

After injecting the Super-Soldier Serum, the immense pain had caused him to sweat continuously. He looked exceptionally disheveled from head to toe.

As he washed up, he began to think.

The system's method of obtaining points was through killing villains.

Since that was the case, his previous plan to return to China was clearly unsuitable.

When it came to villains, the free United States produced a much more abundant supply.

Moreover, he had already asked the system about it.

These villains did not necessarily have to be killed by his own hand for it to count.

Indirect kills would earn points as well.

However, the points gained would be reduced by a portion.

In that case, he needed to gather some people and establish a force.

Only then could he maximize the speed at which he earned points.

He did have some sufficiently loyal mercenaries under his command. He had recruited all of them over the years; they were soldiers who had retired from various special forces units.

Aside from the Super-Soldier Serum, the shop also had

many methods capable of raising someone to the level of a Prospective Martial Warrior.

The most point-efficient method among them was consuming monster meat to slowly increase one's strength and speed.

Monster meat was extremely cheap. One point could be exchanged for thirty kilograms.

It was perfect for those retired soldiers.

However, he had to find a way to ensure that they would not betray him after becoming stronger.

Although these people were currently extremely loyal to him,

once their strength reached a certain level, the emergence of disloyal thoughts would be inevitable.

Besides that, Xu Mo had also seen an ability in the system shop.

"Dimensional Teleportation: Can open a portal to other universes, allowing travel between them!"

Once he possessed this ability, he would no longer need to worry about the source of points.

Across the countless universes of the Multiverse, the number of villains was practically infinite.

He could even establish forces in various universes to earn points for himself.

Unfortunately, exchanging for this ability required a full one hundred million points.

Gathering that many points would probably not be easy.
