The door to the secret room on the top floor was tightly closed, preventing any disturbance from the outside.
The holographic screen is projected in the air, and the report compiled by Simona is scrolling up one by one.
Tony·Stark returned to his seaside villa, shouting that he wanted to rebuild the armor from head to toe. He was obviously very stimulated by Phastos's technological suppression. Steve took Natasha and Clint replied to S.H.I.E.L.D., intending to stare at the global geological monitoring data. Dr. Banner walked out of the door holding hot coffee and walked on the street of New York.
As for brother and sister Wanda, they each chose an entire floor, each holding a black card with a deposit of 100 million US dollars in their hands. Wanda even started to choose the color of the curtains with great interest.
Lucian leaned back on the chair and looked at the text on the screen.
He originally just explained a few words casually, but he didn't expect that Simona not only handled the matter flawlessly, but even took care of the details that he didn't specifically ask. This feeling of not having to worry about everything is really comfortable.
Only by letting the shopkeeper take care of this can we really feel relieved.
Lucian turned off the holographic report in front of him, stood up and stretched his shoulders.
As soon as he thought about it, a layer of golden light emerged from his left wrist, and fine energy lines quickly arranged against the skin, condensing into a golden heavy arm armor in the blink of an eye.
Lucian raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and punched the armor of his left arm hard.
"Clang!"
The dull sound of impact echoed in the secret room, and the golden light flickered, barely taking the blow.
Lucian flicked his wrist and scattered the golden armor on his arm.
"It's just average for me now."
He commented to himself.
However, the situation was urgent at the time and I couldn't control that much.
Lucian stepped on the floor and walked over, stopping in front of Thena.
He issued an order in his mind and locked the most valuable ability of Thena.
[Energy Weapon Creation LV7]
The panel immediately popped up feedback:
[Since the target is unable to resist, Copy speed is doubled]
[Copy Start:50%]
[Estimated time: 18 hours]
Eighteen hours?
Lucian stood up, folded his arms, and the abacus in his mind began to move rapidly.
After this system upgrade, many rules have changed. He had been groping before, but now looking at this specific countdown, the entire underlying logic has finally become completely clear.
My current highest ability level is LV8 Infinite Rage.
Under this baseline, all abilities are clearly graded.
Ability that is two levels lower than mine, that is, LV6 and lower, does not require any time at all. As long as there is physical contact, Copy can be completed instantly.
Lucian couldn't help but ask, "System, if we follow the old algorithm before the upgrade, how long would LV7, LV8, and LV9 originally take?"
He has never seen the ability of LV7 in the Boys Universe. The LV7 he has is based on quantity.
In the past, when asking questions about exploring the underlying rules, the system would mostly respond with a perfunctory answer like "please let the host explore on their own".
But this time, the voice in my head came very quickly.
[LV7 one month, LV8 three months, LV9 one year]
"Okay, my attitude has improved a lot this time." Lucian joked in his heart, "When I asked you something before, you either pretended to be dead or let me explore on my own. Why are you willing to give me the answer directly today?"
The reminder sound in my mind paused, and then the text that popped up brought with it an inexplicable sense of pride:
[The me before the upgrade is the me before the upgrade, the me after the upgrade is the me after the upgrade]
[You can ask any questions you want about the rules I had before the upgrade]
[Host, you have to distinguish the difference between us!]
Looking at this line of words, Lucian almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Good guy.
The current version of you despises the previous version of yourself, right?
But now that the system has confirmed the baseline time before the upgrade, the last piece of the puzzle at his hand has been completely put together.
My current highest level has been raised to LV8, which is only one level away from [Ability Weapon LV7]. According to the previous rules, it will take at least a month.
Thirty days is seven hundred and twenty hours.
Contact Copy fifty percent, and the time is halved, becoming 360 hours.
The target cannot resist and continues to be halved.
That should also be one hundred and eighty hours.
But the time given by the system is only eighteen hours.
Lucian touched his chin.
"Ten times."
After the upgraded system, the speed of Copy has increased by at least ten times.
If calculated according to this logic, LV9 originally took 365 days.
Hanging in the background does not require Lucian to press the target with his hand at all times, but because there is no self-conscious resistance at all, it naturally complies with the "unable to resist" rule in terms of judgment, and the basic time is directly halved.
365 days divided by 2 equals 182.5 days.
The estimated time Lucian saw in the background before was thirty-six point five days.
182.5 days turned into 36.5 days.
Lucian's eyes flashed.
36.5 divided by 182.5 equals 0.2.
Where does this 0.2 come from?
When Copy has this ability, his highest ability is LV7, and Copy's goal is LV9.
The difference between two levels!
365 ÷ 2 × 0.2 = 36.5 days!
It seems that the stronger you are, the faster Copy is. If you were at LV7, Copy LV10's ability would be multiplied by 0.3.
"So that's what happened."
He straightened up, exhaled a long breath, his eyes were astonishingly bright.
"System! I have explained it!"
