She Was Already Showing the Door Great Respect by Using a Key

Back in the real world, the first thing Russell did was lie in bed and have a good sleep. Although there was no one to serve him food and drink, and no subordinates or underlings to order him around, he still liked it; it felt like home here.

A feeling of freedom and unrestraint.

There's no place like home, no matter how nice it is!

He slept soundly for two days and two nights. When Russell woke up, he realized he had slept for two whole days and two nights. His two major attributes, 'Intelligence' and 'Physical', both exceeding 60, had completely transformed him. To put it simply, he would have a very difficult time as a person in the future.

He could go for ten days without eating, drinking, sleeping, or resting; the concepts of ordinary people no longer applied to him. His lifespan increased dramatically; the Ancient One examined his palm and said he could live at least three hundred years without illness or disaster.

Regardless of the credibility of the Ancient One story, Russell's lifespan has indeed been significantly extended, based on his own changes. He spent over three years in the Marvel Universe, and while his aging process wasn't as dramatic as some claim, his appearance remained largely unchanged, and he was confident that no one would notice anything amiss.

"Rumble—"

A continuous dark cloud hung over the spiritual world as Russell frantically slashed at the howling system. There was no particular reason; Russell just wanted to do it.

If I had to give a reason, it would probably be that good habits need to be maintained. Each time I complete a task, I can tap the system a few times, which can cultivate my mind, elevate my spiritual realm, and improve my moral character. Why not do it?

The system lay dying in the scorched earth, its breath fading as if it would die at any moment. Coupled with its pitiful, childlike face, it was heartbreaking to see.

Unfortunately, Russell is no longer human!

"Stop Feigning Death, hurry up and open the lottery tickets you saved up earlier."

Russell ignored the system's pitiful, watery eyes. In his mental world, no matter how much he went too far, the system wouldn't die; his pretense was just a ploy to gain sympathy.

The system grumbled and struggled to its feet, its lips pursed, muttering to itself incoherently. Russell snorted, and the system immediately became obedient, standing tall and proud.

[Bite!]

[Host confirms lottery draw, 6 draws in progress...]

[The host has received the following rewards...]

There aren't many chances to win in the Marvel Universe. Schmidt and Dr. Zola have already used up their chances. What's left are 2 chances for Steve, 3 chances for mission completion rewards, and 1 chance for Natasha.

[Skill Card: Grip of Immortality (This skill inflicts both physical and mental damage on the opponent; do not use unless facing a mortal enemy)]

[Character Card: Koyatai Stark (Espada No. 1)]

[Skill Card: Bad Luck (Just use it as a curse)]

[Character Card: Kalifa (You need a female secretary; if you don't have one, she will become a female secretary)]

[Intelligence Attribute Point x1]

[Item Card: Flashlight (A solar-powered flashlight that does not require batteries; it only lights up when there is light, and will not light up without light)]

It's always a lottery that leaves you speechless with frustration; the good stuff is undeniable, and the bad stuff is equally undeniable. Russell calmed down in just three seconds; he's seen it all, and this little situation is no problem for him.

With 1 point of Intelligence Attribute Point and 6 points of Free Attribute Points from the mission reward, he thought for a moment and then poured all of them into the allocation according to the most reasonable method in his mind.

[Host: Russell]

Strength: 51 (30+21)

[Body: 64 (50+14)]

[Wisdom: 61 (42+19)]

[Wealth: 97,900]

"I added 6 points in one go, but strength is still my worst attribute. As a mage, I'm really not good enough."

Russell said with considerable concern, "The 'Body' attribute points can be slowly honed using Thunder Beast, and the 'Intelligence' attribute points are rapidly increasing in Kamar-Taj. Only the 'Strength' attribute points are increasing slowly. Although using Thunder Beast to refine the body can also have an improvement effect, it's just a side effect of the change in physical attributes. If you don't find the trick, in the long run, the 'Strength' attribute points will seriously lag behind."

This is not the mage attribute Russell wanted. A great mage must have unparalleled strength. How can a wicked mage with low health, slow speed, and poor strength go head-to-head with a warrior?

Russell's dissatisfaction with the status quo was understandable; after all, these days assassins wore heavy armor while lying in wait and used two-handed greatswords to brutally defeat berserkers, so he, as a mage, had to work even harder.

Days passed, and Russell spent most of his time at home, becoming more and more like a shut-in. He mainly read comics, assessing the power levels of two newly acquired Character Card. After finishing that, he browsed a lot of information about Marvel to determine which Marvel Universe he was in.

It's definitely not possible in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; Natasha and the Master Gu Yi don't fit the characters in the movies. But in the comic book universe, it's too far-fetched. Take Steve for example; if it weren't for Russell's butterfly wings, he should be sleeping in the Arctic Circle, which is part of the movie plot.

The average strength of the reference characters is stronger than in the movies, but relatively weaker than in the comics. After racking his brains without success, Russell could only temporarily define it as a hybrid world. Anyway, there are many Marvel Universe, and there are quite a few that have been redrawn and timelines have been restarted, so it is not surprising that such a world exists.

During this time, Russell also visited the Marvel Universe twice, for two reasons. The system told him that there was still a possibility of triggering World Quest in this world, but the timing was unknown, and it was a matter of luck.

The second reason is to confirm the ratio of time flow between the Marvel Universe and the real world. This is very important. If the ratio is too exaggerated, it is very likely that he will complete the World Quest, while the Marvel will have already ended.

A grand finale is probably impossible. At most, the Ancient One might decide she doesn't want to live anymore, Thanos might snap his the Snap after collecting Infinity Stones, then retire to his rural home and grow chrysanthemums.

However, the possibility of a timeline restart is greater.

The Marvel Universe is full of uncertainties, and the plot is unpredictable. Russell must be cautious, since his upgrades and card-swiping all depend on this world.

The good news is that the time ratio between the two worlds is very favorable. When Russell is in the real world, time in the Marvel Universe flows in the same proportion, but when Russell is in the Marvel Universe, time in the real world flows at an extremely slow pace, as slow as 365:1.

In other words, if he spends a year in the Marvel Universe, it might mean one day in the real world.

The system indicated that Russell was overthinking things. The World Anchor only located a node in the world, not the entire world. The Marvel Universe is still constantly moving. The connections between worlds are intricate and complex, involving adjustments and corrections that cannot be explained by a mere amount of time. His two trips were simply due to good luck, and it's not impossible that he could travel back to 10,000 years BC in the Marvel again.

Russell said he didn't care; if they went back to prehistoric times, so be it. At worst, they could go back and forth a few more times and wait for the timelines between worlds to correct themselves. He just thought the Marvel Universe's timeline had gotten messed up again.

Another two weeks passed. Russell said he didn't care, but he still went to the Marvel Universe several times. The situation the system predicted had indeed occurred. The timeline was moved forward a month, and then jumped back another six months. No big problem, as long as it wasn't 10,000 years BC, it would be fine!

Back in the real world, almost a month had passed without any new world nodes appearing, and Russell wasn't in a hurry. Having visited the Marvel Universe a few times, he felt like he was on some kind of online novel platform, either constantly traveling through time or on his way to one, so whether he triggered new missions or not didn't really matter.

There's something very important I must mention: it's going to be on the test!

After three years of health maintenance, Russell no longer needs goji berries and angelica root. His current physical condition makes Supergirl seem insignificant. To put it bluntly, he could make her call him "Dad"...

"Knock knock knock—"

The sudden knock on the door made Russell's hand holding the mouse tremble instinctively. At that moment, Yaozi recalled the fear of being dominated by someone he once knew, and involuntarily looked up at the clock on the wall.

At 9 p. m. sharp, Supergirl arrived at the door.

"Damn it, didn't she go on vacation?" Russell swallowed hard, suddenly remembering that she had been gone for a month, even if it was an annual leave, it should have ended by now.

While Russell was still in a daze, Shen Menghan took out her key and opened the door. There was no need to be surprised that she had a key; this was nothing unusual for Reincarnator.

Besides, she's Supergirl. Does it make a difference whether she has a door or not, or a key or not?

No difference!

The fact that she can use the key already shows a lot of respect for the door!

"Hey, why don't you open the door if you're home?"

Having not seen Russell for a month, Shen Menghan fell ill with lovesickness, and like a little bird doctor... oops, like a fledgling swallow returning to the forest, she pounced into Russell.

"Hmm..."

Russell grunted, realizing things weren't so simple; the difference between them was still clearly visible. Especially in terms of strength, he'd rather be able to lift a building than call him "daddy"!

"I'm asking you a question... Huh, it's only been a month, how come you've changed so much?" Shen Menghan leaned against Russell, touched his face in surprise, feeling as if she hadn't seen him for three years.

Why would someone have this misconception?

I got home late from get off work, so the next chapter will be after midnight. No more owing anyone!
