[Ding! Host's current growth points detected: 25,000. Available to exchange for items in the shop.]
The system notification sounded in Xiao Han's mind, interrupting his thoughts.
He slightly opened his eyes, his fingers gently stroking the surface of the Mind Stone, the pale yellow light reflecting in his pupils.
"System, bring up the redemption list."
[Ding! The in-game store has been updated. Here are the recommended redemption options:]
[ Kryptonian Biofield Advancement Module (15000 points): Strengthens Biofield defense, capable of withstanding dimensional attacks. (The host can also upgrade it gradually.)]
[ Doomsday Cell Sample (800,000 points), after fusion, grants Doomsday- level regeneration and evolutionary capabilities.]
[ Anti-Monitor Armor (2,000,000 points), Multiverse- level battle armor capable of confronting supreme beings.]
Xiao Han's gaze swept across the list, finally settling on the first item, which was the only one he could afford.
"Exchange for the Kryptonian Biofield Advancement Module ".
[Ding! Exchange successful. Remaining growth points: 10,000.]
[Initiating fusion...]
In an instant, a burst of intense energy erupted from Xiao Han's body, and golden light flowed across his skin like liquid.
He groaned, his muscles tensing slightly as he sensed the dramatic changes at the cellular level.
The structure of the Biofield is being reorganized, the originally invisible barrier is gradually solidifying, and even a faint golden halo is forming around him.
[Fusion complete.]
Xiao Han slowly exhaled, raised his hand, and gently clenched his fist.
"Buzz!"
The air vibrated in his palm, the strength of his Biofield increased several times, and he could even feel the subtle fluctuations in the surrounding space.
"Not bad." He smiled slightly. "At least if we encounter Dimension Devourer, we won't be helpless."
He glanced at the sky, the sun's rays shining on him, a comfortable feeling like soaking in a hot spring.
Gradually, he closed his eyes.
Time passed slowly, and the afterglow of the setting sun gilded his sharply defined profile.
His eyes were closed, his breathing even and deep. His chest, beneath his black short-sleeved shirt, rose and fell slightly with each breath, the lines of every muscle as perfect as an ancient Greek sculpture.
Wanda had somehow arrived on the terrace. She stood to one side, her gaze unconsciously falling on Xiao Han.
The sea breeze gently caressed her red hair. She looked at Xiao Han sleeping soundly, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
This man was powerful and mysterious, yet he subtly gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.
He rescued her from Hell, taught her to control her powers, and even... was willing to understand her past.
Thinking of this, Wanda's heart raced slightly, and her fingertips twitched involuntarily.
"His eyelashes are so long..."
The thought suddenly popped into her head, and then she found it somewhat amusing.
But he couldn't take his eyes off Xiao Han's face.
As if guided by a ghost, she slowly reached out her hand, her fingertips moving closer to Xiao Han's cheek.
The sound of her heartbeat amplified in her ears, and crimson energy flickered faintly at her fingertips, as if revealing her secret thoughts.
Just as her fingers were about to touch Xiao Han.
"If you want to touch me, then do it openly and honestly. Don't do it while I'm asleep."
Xiao Han suddenly spoke, his eyes still closed, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Wanda's hand froze in mid-air, her cheeks flushed instantly, and a small burst of crimson energy exploded.
"I, I just..." she stammered, trying to explain, but then she saw Xiao Han slowly open his eyes, his golden pupils shimmering in the sunset, carrying a mischievous smile.
"Just what?" he asked lazily, propping his chin up with his hand.
Wanda withdrew her hand in embarrassment and annoyance, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears. "I just noticed there were mosquitoes on your face!"
"Oh?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening.
"Do you want me to swat it off?"
She stammered as she tried to pull her hand back, but Xiao Han gently tugged at her, causing her to lose her balance and fall into his arms.
Xiao Han's voice rang in her ear. "You can see much better from this distance."
Wanda hurriedly sat up, but froze the moment she met his gaze.
Her image was clearly reflected in those calm eyes.
"Why are you running?" Xiao Han chuckled, his voice laced with lazy teasing.
"I didn't say I couldn't touch you."
Wanda's heart skipped a beat, and crimson energy flowed uncontrollably around her, much like her owner's current panicked state of mind.
"I didn't!" She shook off his hand, her face flushed, and hurried away, her retreating figure almost resembling a hasty escape.
Xiao Han watched her figure disappear at the top of the stairs, chuckled softly, and lay back down in his chair, putting his hands behind his head.
" Turing," he called out casually.
"Yes, sir," the AI butler's voice sounded gently.
"Increase the difficulty of the training room by one level." Xiao Han still had that playful smile on his lips.
"To prevent someone from having too much energy and always thinking about trivial things."
Wanda, who had just reached the stairwell, rolled her eyes when she heard this.
"I'm not afraid." A smile appeared on her lips.
Xiao Han arrived at the underground laboratory. The nanotechnology automatically sensed his arrival, and the lights turned on one by one, illuminating this advanced space comparable to Stark Industries' research and development center.
He raised his hand and waved, and the holographic projection unfolded on the central workbench.
The data stream of the [ Complete Kryptonian Technology Set ] rewarded by the system flowed through the air like a galaxy.
" Turing, establish an independent database with the highest encryption level." Xiao Han tapped his fingertip, and the data stream began to be categorized and reorganized.
"It's set up, sir." Turing's voice echoed in the laboratory.
"The detected technologies cover fields such as energy, bioengineering, and space physics, far exceeding the current technological level on Earth."
Xiao Han's gaze was fixed on the [ Advanced Biofield Theory ].
This is the ultimate research result of the Kryptonian on Biofield.
His Super Brain was rapidly analyzing data, his pupils reflecting the rapidly flowing information.
"I see..." he murmured to himself, " The Biofield is not only a defensive barrier, but it can also interfere with the structure of space."
He raised his hand, and a golden force field condensed in his palm, no longer a transparent barrier, but rather a faintly rippling energy.
With his will, the force field began to distort the surrounding space, and ripples appeared in the air.
"Space folding?" Xiao Han narrowed his eyes, trying to compress the force field to its limit.
"Buzz"
The air in the laboratory suddenly trembled, and a tiny black hole appeared in the space in his palm, but it Oblivion in an instant.
"Sir, the energy reading is abnormal!" Turing warned immediately.
"The spatial disturbance just now was enough to tear ordinary matter apart!"
Xiao Han withdrew his force field, seemingly lost in thought, "It seems we need more precise control."
He turned to another technique: [ Solar Energy Absorption Efficiency Optimization ].
The Kryptonian have long since figured out how to maximize the use of stellar energy, and while Xiao Han's Steel Body can absorb sunlight, there is still room for improvement in efficiency.
" Turing, adjust the simulated solar radiation band."
The holographic projection immediately displayed the energy absorption curve within Xiao Han's body, as well as the optimized theoretical model.
"According to calculations, after optimization, your energy storage speed can be increased by 300%, and your maximum output can be increased by 50%," Turing reported.
Xiao Han nodded and walked towards the Solar Simulation Chamber in the corner of the laboratory.
This is a device that Tony specially made for him based on Artificial Sun technology, capable of simulating stellar radiation of varying intensities.
He took off his shirt, revealing his muscular physique, the muscle lines sculpted under the blue light of the simulator.
He lay down inside the capsule, closed his eyes, and said, "Activate to maximum intensity."
"Warning: This mode has not been security tested," Turing warned.
"Implement."
"Buzz!"
The simulator chamber instantly burst into a blinding white light, comparable to the solar radiation pouring down!
Faint golden lines appeared on Xiao Han's skin, spreading throughout his body like electrical circuits.
His cells were frantically absorbing energy; every molecule in his body was trembling, reorganizing, and evolving...
Ten minutes later, the simulator automatically shut down, and Xiao Han opened his eyes, golden light swirling in his pupils.
He slowly sat up, clenched his fist, and felt the surging power within him.
"The effect is good." He smiled slightly.
Suddenly, the lab door was pushed open, and Wanda poked her head in. "Xiao, I just sensed an energy fluctuation... Wow!"
Her gaze fell on Xiao Han's bare upper body, and she instantly forgot what she was going to say.
Xiao Han leaned lazily against the simulator. "Spying on others' training isn't a good habit, Miss Maximoff."
Wanda's ears burned, but she forced herself to remain calm. "I'm here to tell you that dinner is ready... If you're busy, I can eat by myself first."
Xiao Han chuckled, casually picked up a black shirt from the side and put it on, buttoning a few buttons haphazardly. "Let's go together, I'm actually hungry."
Wanda watched him walk towards her, her heart pounding faster involuntarily.
