What would happen? 20% brain development?"
Natasha became interested; in her mind, this was the rise of a female superhero.
Unfortunately, she guessed wrong.
Watson smiled and replied, "At 20%, she possessed absolute calmness, without a trace of panic in her heart. She also gained superhuman strength and reflexes, as if she could perfectly control her body. She could hear distant sounds and predict enemy actions, like a super-hero collective."
"Cool—so I'm sure those thugs were done for! Right?" Natasha became a perfect listener, immersing herself in the story, as if she were that girl. Well—in a sense, she wasn't wrong~
"Exactly. She punished those who bullied her, killing them. At this point, she could still show expressions."
The sharp Natasha immediately noticed the difference in the last sentence and frowned, asking, "She could still show expressions? My dear, what does that mean?"
Watson no longer had his initial smile. He looked at Natasha and said, "Because—her evolution was constantly improving, quickly reaching 30%. At this point, she was like a high-precision computer. She lost facial expressions, many emotions—she wouldn't be happy, wouldn't cry, she lost human vitality. She made one last phone call to her mother, that was the last expression of her humanity."
"NO—what happened to her later?" Natasha was slightly dejected.
"She reached 40% development. She went from perfect self-control to the next stage—she could control other people. Baby, if it were you, would you like such an ability?"
Natasha shook her head and said, "I don't know. This ability is powerful, but—the cost is huge, and you still haven't told me what happens after 40%?"
"After 40%, she—was dying. Her body began to turn into nothingness, disintegrating into molecules. Her physical body couldn't sustain 40% development. So, she used more of that drug, using the drug's energy to maintain her physical existence."
Watson continued the story until the end, when Lucy asked to inhale all of the drug.
Natasha shook her head, indicating she didn't want to hear any more. She seemed to know the ending would be a tragedy and asked directly, "Honey, just tell me, did she die in the end?"
"No—she didn't die—after 60%, she could control matter, all matter. After 80%, she could control space, she could control time. After 100%—she disappeared."
"Disappeared? Did she die?"
"No—she—merged with the world, transformed into consciousness, without a body, yet—everywhere. She became, in a sense—a god!"
"That's incredible. Who is she? Does such a person really exist in the world?"
"Her name is Lucy. As for whether she exists or not, I don't know."
Natasha, who was about to say something else, was directly silenced by Watson, who then whispered in her ear, "Actually—I also have a way to become a god, but I need my little darling to cooperate~"
Natasha, not to be outdone, wrapped her legs around the man's waist and said, "But it's almost dawn. I don't remember my knight being so quick?"
"So we need to hurry."
--- Watson woke up and looked at the person still beside him, a little surprised.
He turned his head to look at the sunlight outside, then at the lovely person in his arms. This seemed like a particularly good time for a lottery draw?
Now—he had 540 lottery points. It was time to try his luck.
"System, conduct 2 general equipment draws to test the waters first."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Great Jagras set! Obtained the Death Scythe set - Head!"
"Death Scythe Head, Special Ability: Escaping Death, Effect: All fatal attacks against you will always encounter some unexpected incident. Effect Level: Unknown. Please, host, quickly find an energy source to compare rules and update this value."
The first one was ignored, but the second one—part of the Death Scythe set? He hit the jackpot already?!
And, this special ability is a bit fierce, but then it asks me to find an energy source, what the hell is that—does it mean I have to steal the Infinity Stones?
He shook his head, looked at the remaining 440 points, gritted his teeth, and continued! He had a good start earlier!
"System, conduct 4 general equipment draws!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Diablos set!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Alloy - Head, Barroth - Legs, Anjanath - Legs!"
The first one… he already had the Rathalos set. The Diablos set was a bit ugly—this was a bit redundant but acceptable. But what the hell were the last three?!
Was the Death Scythe set sucking up all the luck so much—he'd try one last time. "System, conduct 2 material draws."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Serpent Dragon Back Meat × 5! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Earth Amber × 1!"
Serpent Dragon Back Meat—this should be the meat of the giant corpse in the Rotten Vale, the Serpent King Dragon?
He wondered if he could summon the Serpent King Dragon later—this super monster, at least 400 meters long!
As for this Earth Amber? Isn't that an investigation point item—"System, take it out and let me see."
A faint white light flashed, and an oval, pale yellow amber, emitting a subtle glow, appeared in Watson's hand, surprising him. It was so beautiful? And why did it glow?
"System, what is this thing for?"
"Earth Amber and other special materials, after rule adaptation, can be fused with general equipment and carry the general equipment's characteristics and elemental resistances."
Watson's eyes grew brighter with the system's explanation. This was interesting—he pinched the Earth Amber and held it against Natasha's fair neck, it fit perfectly~
He hadn't given her any gifts yet, though he had received many little surprises~
"System, can the Earth Amber be processed into a necklace?"
"After special materials are fused with general equipment, the style can be freely chosen."
Watson lowered his head and thought, "In the real world—fire is still more common, right?" And he also got single pieces of equipment from the draw. "System, fuse the Earth Amber with Anjanath - Legs. The style should be—a necklace."
Then Watson saw the Earth Amber in his hand and the Anjanath - Legs in his inventory disappear. After a moment, a white light reappeared in Watson's hand, and a fire-red amber necklace appeared in his hand.
"Fusion successful. Obtained Blazing Amber Necklace × 1. Effect: Fire Resistance bonus."
Watson nodded in satisfaction. This appearance, plus these attributes, was absolutely unique! It was just a pity it only had fire resistance, and no fire attribute bonus.
Never mind, he was already very satisfied. That would be all for today. He'd save the remaining 200 points for next time. "System, put the necklace back in the inventory first."
