Eighteen hours later, Lucian raised his right hand, and a golden long sword solidified in his hand.

[Energy Weapon Creation LV7, Copy completed]

The blade of the sword lengthened and narrowed as he thought, and then broke into several short blades, hanging between his fingers.

This is much more convenient than chasing people with fists.

Lucian tried the shapes one by one, and even the lines on the hilt could be adjusted. Thena used this ability to condense the sword, but there was no need for him to copy it. Once the other abilities were put together, there were still many tricks that could be played.

However, we have to arrange the next item first.

Dispersing the short blade, Lucian walked up to Ikaris and pressed his shoulder with his hand.

Several entries are in front of you.

[Super Physique LV8]

[Heat Vision LV8]

[Super Speed LV7]

It's all good stuff.

Yesterday it seemed hard to choose, but looking at it again today, I still can't bear to part with it.

Lucian stared at Heat Vision for a while, and finally moved his gaze to another entry.

"Copy Super Physique."

The attack methods are sufficient for the time being.

Thena and Energy Weapon Creation have been obtained, and there are still a few people waiting in line behind them. By gathering these abilities together, the energy attack area can be strengthened a lot. There is no need to crowd them all in the same direction.

The physique is different.

Infinite Rage No matter how strong it is, it must have a strong enough foundation to support it. If the foundation is lifted up, the same degree of increase will cause the force falling on the fist to be different from the original one.

The next time he meets a difficult guy, he can use his mental abilities to suppress his emotions. He doesn't have to push himself to the point where he is so full of anger that he can only beat the person.

Strength must be increased and brain must be retained.

If it's really hit on the head, who knows what it might break.

"It's just you."

Lucian patted Ikaris on the shoulder, finally ending the hesitation.

[Super Physique LV8 starts Copy]

[The target is in a state of being unable to resist, Copy speed doubled]

[Estimated time: 4.5 days]

Lucian Looking at the last line of words, I felt a lot more comfortable.

Four and a half days.

In the past, waiting for a high-level ability would have to be calculated on a monthly basis. Now as long as the order is arranged, the prisoners in hand can make up for his shortcomings one after another.

This fight was not in vain.

He dismissed the panel and was about to take his hand back when he remembered another question.

This question has been pressing in my heart for a long time. In the past, when I asked the system, I would probably not get any useful answers. Today, this guy is quite willing to talk to me.

Ask him while he's in a good mood.

"System, What If...? I am working on an ability in Copy. The progress has not been completed yet. The person who provided the ability died first. What should I do?"

When the question came out, Lucian added another sentence.

"What I'm asking is that Copy has already started. It's not about touching the body after the person is dead."

These two situations are quite different.

The former is related to the time that has been spent, and the latter is whether he can take advantage of it. What he wants to find out most now is whether half of Copy's abilities will disappear along with the target.

Especially the ones in my hands, each one was injured more seriously than the other.

Just because he can save his life doesn't mean that he will have this condition every time in the future. When fighting, he has to keep an eye on the opponent, for fear that others will beat him to death first.

The panel responded quickly.

[First, you can choose to transfer the Copy progress to the background Copy without contact]

[Second, you can delete this ability entry]

Lucian read the first line again.

Go to the background.

That would be easy to handle.

As long as the copying has started, the death of the target does not mean that the previous progress was in vain. He does not have to be a babysitter for the enemy on the battlefield for an uncopied ability.

As for the second option...

The ability to clean up those useless parts is pretty good.

"Okay, got it."

Lucian took back his hand and couldn't help but look at the place where the panel disappeared.

An upgrade saves more than just Copy time. The troubles that you had to worry about before can now be dealt with.

What if it can be upgraded in the future?

He originally thought that the ability in his hand was enough. Now he is looking forward to the system giving him another big one.

Of course, he is also very satisfied with the current version.

"Tongzi, awesome."

[Thank you]

Lucian opened his mouth and closed it again.

Still this familiar reply.

Okay, I've finished the compliments and asked the questions. If the conversation continues, it will probably end with him talking endlessly and the other person replying with two words.

Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of Jade Balance sounded from the side.

"Sir, Shuri called."

Shuri?

Lucian paused for two seconds, and then remembered the Princess of Wakanda who hadn't gone home yet.

In the past few days, she had been busy fighting, rescuing people, and checking her abilities, and she had actually forgotten about her. The armor had already been worn on the battlefield, and the person who made the armor was still waiting for his approval.

"Put me through."

As soon as the call was established, the voice of Shuri came from the other end.

"Lu, you seem to have finished the battle, right?"

Lucian Listening to this tone, you knew that the little girl was holding back a lot of anger. That's right, after the work was done, no one told her when she could leave. If it were him, he would have demolished the door long ago.

"The fight is over, what happened?"

"What's wrong? I also made the armor for you!"

Shuri's speaking speed suddenly became faster.

"You said time was tight, so I followed the progress. In order to keep them up, I even shared the knowledge of Wakanda!"

"What's the result? You left in your armor, when will I leave!"

This was not an injustice to him.

However, even the technology has been shared? I am afraid that the research team will gain a lot this time. Inviting a princess to work, and even giving them supplementary lessons, this account will not be a loss no matter how you calculate it.

The other end of the phone did not wait for an explanation, and became even more anxious.

"When can I go back? My father must be anxious to death!"

"You promised me before, don't you keep your promise now?"

Lucian also has no intention of keeping her.

"Okay, you can go."

There was a pause on the other end.

"Really?"

"Really." Lucian leaned back in his chair, "Remember to send some Vibranium over every month when you go back."

After saying that, he thought about it again in his mind.

Of course there are quite a few Vibraniums out there, but how can there be too much of a good thing? War armor must be used, and scientific research must also be used. If it is really spread out in the future, consumption will only rise.

The mine is not in your hands.

Let them send some regularly so you don't have to worry about it every time.

"Why!"

Shuri's tone that had just slowed down was raised directly.

"You just robbed so much before, but you still want it? And you still give it away every month? Mr. Lu, what do you think Wakanda is!"

Lucian had already guessed that she would explode.

However, the person still has to go back, and the words have to be brought to him. As for how she plans to scold her on the way, that does not affect the usefulness of Vibranium.

"What you said is wrong."

He changed to a comfortable sitting position and continued speaking slowly.

"Avengers and I just saved the earth. Your family is also a part of the earth, right?"

"So what!"

"Why don't you get some benefits and reward us?"

Lucian said that he felt that the reason was quite smooth.

They were the ones who started the fight and suffered the injuries. Wakanda was hiding at home and didn't show any strength. Now let them get some Vibranium, but it seems like they suffered a huge loss.

"Of course, Avengers people are thin-skinned, so I'm embarrassed to ask for it."

He paused and completed the second half of the sentence.

"So just give it to me to save them trouble."

The phone was quiet for two seconds.

Lucian didn't urge me either.

I guess the little girl is looking for words. Let her look for it, since I'm not in a hurry at the moment anyway.

"Lu, you are so shameless!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Lucian answered very smoothly.

The two words that the system replied to him just now are really useful. The more serious the other person scolds him, the easier it is to say thank you, even without the need for explanation.

"Who praised you! I mean you..."

"Remember to take the original words back with you."

Lucian interrupted her, but her tone remained unchanged.

"Don't let me come to the door in person."

This sentence was not meant to tease her casually.

Regarding Vibranium, it was enough for Shuri to go back and relay it. He was not interested in arguing with a little girl over the phone about who was right. The person who should really consider how to send it was the person in her family who could make the decision.

The only sound left in the receiver was rapid breathing.

Lucian was about to hang up, but then remembered that someone else had to be called over, so he raised his finger and tapped on the armrest of the chair.

"By the way, let Helen Cho come to Vought International."

"You still call..."

Lucian pressed hang up.
