Eleven Draws
At Mount Li, I encountered a patient with an eye ailment who called himself "I, the Emperor." He reached out to look at the trident, acting all arrogant and conceited, as if his willingness to even glance at it was a tremendous favor to me.
Pooh!
Russell disliked this kind of person the most, but considering that the other party might be a zongzi that had been buried for almost 2000 years, he simply decided not to lower himself to his level.
After all, respect for the dead is paramount!
Moreover, Russell himself was not in the right in this matter. The fusion of the Trident was too much of a commotion, waking people up from their coffins. He was definitely at fault first.
Disturbing someone's peaceful sleep and then resorting to violence is absolutely unacceptable, which is why Russell took the initiative to back down and left the mission world directly.
There's no way around it; that's just how honest he is. He never argues or tries to justify himself. When he's in the wrong, his aura weakens, and he chooses to speak politely.
Back home, Russell was exhausted. He washed up and then lay down on the bed and slept soundly for a long time.
When I woke up, it was already midnight outside, and it had started raining sometime earlier.
The continuous drizzle carried a slight chill. Russell opened his computer and saw that although the rain was gentle, it would continue for many days, and due to the influence of cold air, a significant drop in temperature was expected in the near future.
As a child, Russell loved rainy days, especially when he was indoors drinking Coke and watching pedestrians being chased by the rain on the street. The Coke tasted particularly refreshing.
Later, things changed. As youth faded and maturity took hold, I drank Coke much less often.
"System, activate all lottery draws for this period."

[Host confirms lottery draw, 11 draws in progress...]
[The host has received the following rewards...]
This trip to the Main God Space was quite fruitful. In addition to the three lottery draws rewarded for completing the mission, there were also eight lottery draws triggered by story characters. Russell didn't want to think about the specific names of the characters, since they weren't exactly respectable names anyway.
[Character Card: Old Mountain Dragon (Please advise on how to complete this quest)]
[Item Card: Level 3 Helmet (You now have a Level 3 helmet)]
Character Card: Infernape (Always Angry)
[Skill Card: AT AT Field (If you're not familiar with me, please don't come near me)]
[Item Card: Doyagako (Although it's a wooden sword, it's said to be inhabited by a hermit who can teach you ultimate techniques)]
[Agility Attribute Point x1]
[Item Card: Black Donkey Hooves (1982)]
[Skill Card: Disguise Technique (Can slim face, beautify, filter, enlarge eyes, smooth skin)]
[Character Card: No-Face (...)]
[Intelligence Attribute Point x1]
[Skill Card: Mind Stone (Usage varies from person to person)]
After drawing all 11 cards, Russell thought it was alright, perhaps because he was used to this lottery style, and surprisingly, there was nothing to complain about.
Russell was about to allocate the two Free Attribute Points he received from the lottery to 'Strength' when he suddenly remembered the prescription in his Space Ring and temporarily suppressed his desire to add the points.
Russell's personal panel was refreshed after his Wealth Points were credited.
[Host: Russell]
Strength: 61 (34+27)
[Body: 72 (56+16)]
[Intelligence: 93 (73+20)]
[Wealth: 120,600]
Marvel Universe! Mars!
Having obtained the prescription to enhance his physical strength, Russell arrived here almost immediately after winning the lottery. There weren't any powerful beasts to look forward to on Earth, and the planet was quite safe at the moment.
Therefore, the task of capturing all sorts of ferocious beasts fell to the new underlings, the Chitauri. The search across the entire universe was time-consuming and required a lot of manpower. Russell did not return to the real world, but ordered his men to prepare the auxiliary ingredients for the prescription and to heat up a large pot to wait for the medicinal catalyst.
The waiting time was rather long, but just as the robot production line was completed, the first batch of combat robots were incorporated into the logistics and ground defense forces.
Don't assume robots are amazing just because they're mentioned. Take the female robots on Kontraxia, for example. They're very realistic, but their combat power is nothing to brag about. If you're strong enough, you can easily break them apart.
The robot production line that Russell obtained is commonplace in the universe. Various programs can be implanted as needed, but generally speaking, the robots' main job is to handle logistics, and they will step onto the battlefield as cannon fodder when it is critical.
Under the pretext of testing the robots' combat capabilities, Russell gathered 100 robots and locked them in a laboratory, not allowing anyone to enter.
Five minutes later, he walked out looking dejected. During the battle with the robot, he had used a Character Card, the newly unlocked 'Infernape' Character Card.
To fully showcase the Character Card's capabilities, Russell deliberately covered the skin. The effect was decent; within five minutes, he continuously beat up the robot, repeatedly using four skills. The system determined that he had learned a permanent skill.
Digging Holes a hole (also known as making a burrow)
Russell sensed a lot of malice. First, he didn't think he had any talent for Digging Holes, but he learned it so quickly. Second, his Digging Holes wasn't a high-attack ground-type skill; it was just digging a hole, like a husky.
Russell: (one-one)
"What's the use of this skill? Could it be... that there's a deeper meaning behind it?"
To verify the truth, Russell called Natasha to help him. After some maneuvering, they discovered that there was no deeper meaning at all; it was really just digging a hole in the ground.
This can be called a skill?
It's permanent?!
Disappointed, Russell tried to distract himself with Item Card, but it only made his sorrow worse and left him even more depressed.
Level 3 Helmet is pretty useless; it can't even stop Frying Pan. Doyagako is just an ordinary wooden sword; there's no hermit residing inside, at most the wood is just a bit sturdier.
Afterward, he took out two more Item Card and placed them at the Mars Base as samples for research.
[Item Card: Superman Battle Suit (To avoid the embarrassing situation of being naked during high-speed flight)]
[Item Card: Z-03 Iron Man Suit (Individual Combat Equipment)]
Russell had a black robe that he didn't need the Superman Battle Suit for, so he used it as a sample of the standard special combat suit for his elite team, and after cracking the material, he mass-produced it. The Iron Man Suit was very practical, but because it was taken from Guan Yin, it was a women's suit, so he couldn't wear it.
The Iron Man Suit are strategically valuable assets for any country on Marvel Earth today, but they're not quite up to par in space. Russell went to Earth, found Howard, and Enslavement Dr. Pym, forcing them to conduct joint research. He repeatedly emphasized that the technological advancements in the suits must not be leaked.
Having settled all that, Russell received the wild animal medicine he had been waiting for. He cooked it in a large pot, and just like hot pot, he ate it the same way.
To avoid food poisoning... cough, and to share good things with everyone, I specially called Natasha, Bucky, and the others over.
Natasha and the others did not have a personal panel displayed by the system, but they could feel their physique improving, though the exact extent of the improvement required testing.
Russell, on the other hand, indulged in a feast, and his two major attributes, 'Constitution' and 'Strength,' steadily increased. Although the increase was slow, and he might not even gain 1 point at most, at least there was hope. The slow increase was because he used the enhancement medicine late, and since he started at a high level, there was no immediate effect.
But it doesn't matter. The universe is boundless, and there are countless kinds of ferocious beasts. You won't have to worry about food or becoming a master.
Bald between being stuffed to the point of bursting and about to burst, Russell let out a burp, thought of Supergirl pressing down on him, channeled his anger into motivation, and continued to eat voraciously.
While eating, he remembered an Item Card, hesitated for two seconds, and then threw it into the pot.
