Come Out, Panel-Team Candidate!!!

The next day, at a hotel in the red-light district.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yu Xian, deep in sleep, was jolted awake by Catalina's furious pounding on the door.

Feeling the softness in his arms, he could not help recalling last night's madness.

"My constitution is too strong. That's not necessarily a good thing—I'm always the one suffering!"

He looked up at the time.

Oh, damn!!!

It was ten o'clock already!!!

No wonder Catalina was brimming with resentment. The cops who had gone to work must have driven her mad!

[Detected that the host is delighted from skipping work. Pleasure Points +50]

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Yu Xian, you piece of shit, open the door!!!"

Faintly, Catalina's resentment seemed to pierce through the door and reach Yu Xian.

Hiss~

This woman had gotten bold today!!!

Did she have no respect for him at all???

It was time to show the majesty of the squad captain!

"Can you even do your job? There are so many documents waiting for your approval! I stayed up most of the night, while you were having a good time!"

"Twenty reports—twenty whole reports! God knows how badly I wanted to slam them into your face when those people at the precinct put them in front of me!!!"

"And another thing..."

Catalina drove while spewing profanity, endlessly listing Yu Xian's crimes.

Seeing that his chief steward was in a bad mood, Yu Xian could only smile apologetically from the side.

Recruiting people was not easy. He could not let her run away, or who would he exploit?

No, that was not right. He was not some heartless boss.

It could only be said that while some people enjoyed themselves, others had to bear the burden.

His great path of slacking off depended on her.

After a while, the blonde girl seemed to have tired herself out and finally stopped.

Seeing that,

Yu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and avoided the girl's resentful gaze.

It seemed

the blonde girl was under just a tiny little bit of pressure. Best not provoke her for now.

It was time to expand the squad.

There was no hope in relying on the higher-ups.

At this point in time, S.H.I.E.L.D. had long since been infiltrated by Hydra. Yu Xian did not want to recruit a Hydra subordinate.

People as upright and clean as Catalina were rare.

It was more reassuring to find teammates himself.

As for candidates,

Yu Xian already had a suitable choice. He had decided on you—"Quake," Daisy Johnson.

Oh, no. She should still be called Skye right now.

He would find time to deal with that later...

Seeing that they were still some distance from the factory, Yu Xian silently called out to the system in his mind.

System, system!

[I'm here, Host!]

How many Pleasure Points had he saved up now?

[See for yourself!]

Yu Xian: (╬▔皿▔)

A pale-blue screen instantly appeared before Yu Xian.

[Idle System]

[Host: Yu Xian]

[Pleasure Points: 51200]

[Abilities:]

[Gold: (Bleach series) Hyorinmaru (3 stars), (JoJo series) Stand Ability: Star Platinum (1 star)]

[Purple: (One Piece series) Whisper-Whisper Fruit (1 star), (One Piece series) Dango Dango no Mi (1 star), (Fairy Tail series) Ice-Make Magic (1 star)]

[Note: (Bleach series) Hyorinmaru: (1 star) Shikai state, (3 stars) unlocks incomplete Bankai]

[Note: (JoJo series) Stand Ability: Star Platinum (1 star) unlocks Star Platinum: Platinum Barrage]

[Purple Item: (JoJo series) Arrow. "Using it grants a portion of the Stand Ability: Crazy Diamond."]

[White Fragments: 45, Blue Fragments: 49, Purple Fragments: 3]

This panel was satisfying to look at every single time.

With his current strength,

Hyorinmaru had already unlocked Bankai.

According to the system, gold skills would undergo qualitative improvements at three and five stars.

At three stars, he could already use a simplified, simplified, simplified, simplified, simplified, simplified, simplified, simplified, simplified version of Ice Flower Funeral!

Unlocking the Stand Ability Star Platinum gave him physical abilities comparable to a super-soldier.

Combined with the auxiliary abilities of the Devil Fruits, he had established an animal intelligence network.

Gray's Ice-Make Magic could also conceal Hyorinmaru's characteristics,

preventing people from noticing its uniqueness. It was practically perfect.

Unfortunately, even a genius like him had no choice but to bow beneath the system's tyranny.

Increasing his energy—or spiritual pressure—by acquiring more skills?

If he wanted to reach the level where Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni could burn an entire world, it seemed he still had a long way to go!

If nothing else, this system really was messed up!

Skills, skills... they were just skills?!

To gain spiritual pressure, he had to slack off, lie flat, draw prizes, and grow stronger?

But slacking off and lying flat depended on his state of mind!

Only if he personally believed he was slacking off and lying flat could he gain Pleasure Points!

He had tested it before. If his mindset did not meet the requirement, then even if he acted like he was slacking off and lying flat, he still could not obtain Pleasure Points!

This was fucking miserable!

In this terrifying world, where even taking a nap could get him into trouble with a supervillain, only strength was an eternal theme.

"So when will I be able to see what the actual system is?"

[Since the host has acquired an insufficient number of skills, related functions will unlock once the host has enough gold and purple skills. The next related function requires the host to acquire a 5-star skill!]

[At the same time, please abandon unnecessary fantasies.]

[Work hard at slacking off, gain more Pleasure Points, draw more prizes, and improve your strength.]

[The more skills the host acquires, the stronger the energy foundation within the host will become. The same skill will then display completely different power.]

[The energy system will gradually unlock after the host obtains five gold skills. Please look forward to it!]

Fine then!!!

But this system's gold drop rate was genuinely awful!!!

The Idle System allowed one ten-pull for one thousand Pleasure Points, and all items had a maximum rank of five stars.

He had spent nearly half a year before drawing this little bit of gold, and there was not even a pity system.

Thinking about how he had spent fifty thousand last month without even making a splash,

Yu Xian got a headache.

He worked himself to the bone every month, constantly thinking of ways to slack off and find pleasure, yet he only barely earned sixty to a hundred thousand Pleasure Points a month.

How could there be no pity system?

Was that not too cruel to unlucky players?

Back when he played Onmyoji, he had to spend ten 648 packs before hitting pity. Yet this thing did not give him pity at all.

This was truly outrageous!!!

Now he could only rely on the fragment system.

Fortunately, the fragment system offered him at least a little comfort.

All useless white and blue items drawn would be converted into corresponding fragments.

Fifty fragments could be exchanged for one fragment of the next level, while one purple fragment could be used for a skill upgrade.

Based on his observations over this period, he had mainly discovered information related to the following anime series.

Bleach, One Piece, Naruto, Fairy Tail, JoJo, Demon Slayer, Marvel...

Unfortunately, abilities that could be called purple were exceedingly rare.

Even his gold items had come from the beginner protection period. He no longer had a chance at those now.

The great path of slacking off was still very long!!!

"We're here!"

A light, girlish voice sounded beside him.

Yu Xian snapped back to his senses and saw the frozen abandoned factory in Brooklyn before him.

The entire abandoned factory in Brooklyn was now surrounded by police.

More than a dozen police cars were scattered around the area.

After getting out of the car,

a police captain wiped the hot sweat from his face and said excitedly,

"Haha, my friends, you finally made it!

If you had come any later, I would have had to melt the ice with body heat!"

Yu Xian ignored the captain's resentment.

His right hand lightly rested on Hyorinmaru at his waist, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

"Heavenly Phenomenon Descends, release!"

His cool voice echoed through the air before drifting away.

Crack... crack...

The ice, once indestructible and enough to leave the police helpless, instantly developed fine cracks as Yu Xian's words fell.

The cracks rapidly spread, crawling across the frozen factory like a spiderweb.

The next moment, there was no earth-shaking roar and no scene of freezing mist spreading everywhere.

The factory, once covered by a thick layer of ice, seemed to have been enchanted. The ice melted and evaporated at a visible speed.

The entire process was silent, yet deeply shocking.

Sunlight fell upon every corner of the factory once more, as though the extreme cold from before had only been an illusion.

The many police officers stared dumbfoundedly at the astonishing sight before them.

The ice that had frozen the entire factory disappeared and evaporated like snowflakes beneath the sun, leaving behind not a single trace.

"So those guys were illegally smuggling Stark Industries weapons?"

Catalina looked at the gangsters being taken away by the police, who still shivered from time to time, her face filled with surprise.

After the ice melted, everyone discovered Stark Industries weapon markings among the weapons being traded.

"God, Stark Industries has always been the United States military's largest weapons supplier. If someone is using it for illegal arms deals..."

"No, we have to report this to the higher-ups!"

The justice-filled blonde girl

stared intensely at Yu Xian, as though she would attack him if he refused.

Well, even though she could not beat Yu Xian.

Under the blonde girl's stern gaze,

Yu Xian finally gave in.

Sigh, even trying to slack off properly was impossible.

If Catalina made that call,

Yu Xian could already predict what would await him.

According to S.H.I.E.L.D. agent regulations,

whoever took a mission was responsible for completing it, unless they were dead.

But Yu Xian did not want to dampen the girl's enthusiasm.

In the girl's barely concealed expression,

there was nothing but the feeling of I want it, I want it!

"Who told me to be so kind? Fine, we'll do it your way!"

"Actually, I suddenly thought of something. His name was Dr. Yinsen, right?"

"Could we consider bringing him into my Y Squad?"

An idea suddenly came to Yu Xian.

He thought about using this incident to expand the team.

Meanwhile,

Catalina could hardly wait to call the one-eyed Nick Fury.

As Yu Xian's chief steward, she had been given full responsibility for all work-related matters.

"Hello, Director Nick. This is Agent Catalina. We've uncovered an important piece of intelligence..."
