In the hotel suite, Lucian opened his eyes from meditation.
On the System Panel in front of you, the countdown is entering the final stage.
Lucian stared at the countdown in front of him, the last number was beating slowly.
"Three."
The hotel suite was very quiet, except for the system beep that rang in my mind.
"Two."
Lucian was sitting on the edge of the bed, tapping his knees with his fingers.
This system upgrade lasted for a whole day. According to the pictures of other people's system upgrades in his memory, there should be some movement this time.
It's like golden light shining everywhere, strange phenomena in the sky and earth, or a bunch of new functions suddenly popping up.
"One."
The countdown returns to zero.
[System upgrade completed.]
Lucian waited a few seconds.
Gone.
"That's it?"
He lowered his head and looked at his hands, then looked around. The lights in the room did not explode, the floor did not collapse, and even the sound of cars outside the window was not affected.
Lucian scratched his head.
"What about the rays of light I'm looking forward to? At least there's an explosion."
The system did not answer.
"What's the upgrade this time?"
[The first upgrade has been completed, please explore the new features by yourself.]
Lucian's expression stopped.
"Explore on your own?"
[Yes.]
"You have quite a personality."
[Thank you.]
Lucian looked at these two words and laughed angrily.
"Well, you system, didn't I just give you a cricket when you were upgrading? As for being so vindictive?"
The system did not continue to respond.
Lucian cursed a few words in his heart and found that the system was completely unresponsive, so he could only suppress his emotions. Anyway, the ability has indeed been upgraded. As for what the new functions are, you will know after trying it, but whether it is better to treat the system better.
"System?"
[at.]
"You designed it well."
[Thank you.]
"The function is also very practical."
[Thank you.]
"Stable operation, timely feedback, and a bright future."
[Thank you.]
Lucian's face turned a little darker.
"Can you provide some user experience?"
He stood up from the bed and moved his shoulders.
Forget it, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
Lucian got up and walked to the window. Since the system allows him to explore by himself, he should find someone to try the new function.
Who to look for?
Lucian figure disappeared from the suite.
New York is in the sky, Lucian is hovering high.
The powerful Mental Power spread out, quickly passing through streets, buildings and people, covering the entire city like countless tentacles.
Lucian did not pry into the memories of ordinary people, it just locked onto each life aura and quickly screened the target.
The location of New York Sanctum is also in his perception.
When Mental Power spread to that area, Lucian stopped for a moment and actively avoided the building.
Since the other party didn't care about him for the time being, there was no need for him to deliberately wander to their door.
Soon, Lucian locked an apartment in Brooklyn district.
People inside are eating.
He has blond hair, blue eyes, and is nearly 1.9 meters tall. His body statistics are far higher than those of ordinary people, and his vitality is not as stable as that of an old man who has just been dug out of the ice.
Captain America, Steve·Rogers.
"Found you."
Lucian disappears instantly.
In the apartment, Steve was holding a cup and just took a sip of coffee when an unreasonable and extremely strong sense of crisis suddenly shot up from his spine to Tianling Gai.
Danger!
The body strengthened by Super Soldier Serum reacted instantly. Steve jumped up from the chair, tightened his muscles, twisted his waist sideways, and assumed a standard fighting posture.
However, it was too late.
A hand was placed on the back of his neck.
Steve bumped his shoulder back, and at the same time grabbed the wrist with his left hand.
Lucian Let him catch it.
Steve exerted force on his arms, trying to twist the person and throw him out, but Lucian's wrist did not move at all, and did not even change his posture.
"Hello, Rogers."
Lucian let go of his hand and took a step back.
Steve immediately turned around, assumed a defensive posture, and stopped at Lucian.
"What are you doing?"
"Say hello."
Lucian responded casually, his attention already falling on System Panel.
[Copy target detected: Steve·Rogers]
[Optional ability: Super Physique LV3]
Pretty much what I expected.
After being injected with the serum, the body is close to the limit of human beings. Its strength, speed, endurance, reaction and recovery ability are all far beyond those of ordinary people, but there is still a gap between being truly extraordinary.
Level LV3 cannot completely defend against firearms and will still be injured when faced with heavy firepower, but it is enough as a test sample.
"Select, Super Physique LV3." Lucian gave the order in his mind.
He was prepared for half an hour of continuous contact.
However, the next second, the system's beep made him stunned.
[Contact determination completed... The ability level is more than two levels lower than the host's highest level...Copy Rule changes...]
[Copy Complete.]
Is this... done?
Lucian was surprised.
He let go of his hand and looked at Captain America, who immediately distanced himself because he regained his freedom. He looked at him warily, but he was communicating with the system rapidly in his heart.
"System, are you so stupid?"
[If you are two levels or less below your current highest level ability, just contact Copy.]
The system explanation is given concisely and concisely.
Lucian looked at this line of text and finally determined the core changes of this upgrade.
Abilities that are two levels or less below his current highest level ability only require contact to complete Copy.
His current highest level is LV7.
In other words, with abilities of LV5 and below, you can directly Copy if you touch the target.
This change doesn't seem too exaggerated, but it will save him a lot of time in the future. In the past, when he met someone with strong abilities, he had to find a way to hold them down and slowly wait for the Copy progress to be completed. Now, with just one touch, low-level abilities can be obtained directly.
As for the abilities above LV6, we don't know yet.
Lucian stared at System Panel and asked, "What about the ability above me? LV6, LV7, or even higher, how long will it take for Copy?"
[Please explore new features by yourself.]
"Fuck."
Lucian cursed.
After the system was upgraded, I didn't notice anything else, but my temper became even louder and louder.
But as long as it works.
The world is so big, there must be a lot of strange and weird abilities. Even if the ability itself is not strong, it is valuable to study.
Come and I'll touch one.
"You..."
Steve looked at the man in front of him who stopped talking after saying hello and smiled for no reason, feeling a little confused.
Just as he was about to ask something, Lucian had already come to his senses.
"Hello, captain." Lucian naturally retracted the thoughtful expression just now, as if the person who just put his hand on the person's neck without saying a word had nothing to do with him.
"I saw your heroic performance yesterday." Lucian said, "You are the real hero."
Steve was stunned by his sudden compliment.
He raised his hand and touched his head.
"I just did what I could."
"And I heard Stark tell part of what happened yesterday." Steve put down his hand, "You are the one who really saved New York."
Steve is waiting for his follow-up.
Lucian said nothing more.
The ability has been Copy completed, there is no point in staying.
"Goodbye, Captain."
"Goodbye?"
Steve frowned.
"Wait, are you coming..."
Before he finished speaking, the person in front of him had disappeared.
Steve stood there, words stuck in his mouth.
He looked down at his hands, then looked up at where Lucian was standing just now, feeling a little confused.
"What's this?"
No one answered.
