Marvel, a grand world.
Many believe that the Marvel universe is the most intricately planned magical realm among all fantasy worlds.
Here, countless powerful beings and special individuals exist, and it is their captivating stories that attract many comic and movie fans, including Shasha.
If Shasha had a hobby, it would be movies, and if there were a category for it, it would be science fiction.
Once, Shasha fantasized about what it would be like to enter the Marvel Universe and possess immense power, even indulging in the thrill of being a superhero. However, now it seemed that this fantasy was on the verge of becoming reality?
When Erika dealt with the few pursuers, Shasha cautiously stepped out from the corner.
Facing this stranger, Erika wore a somewhat dangerous expression. "Stop."
"Um, I mean no harm. I'm also someone they are after," Shasha said, trying to appear friendly. Fortunately, his looks were decent; with a hint of Mixed Blood and a clean demeanor, he could be considered handsome.
Erika scrutinized Shasha with interest as she put away her steel fork. "Those guys are not good people. Even though you are being chased by them, I can't rule out that you might be part of a gang. I'm curious—how did they set their sights on you?"
Scratching his head, Shasha forced a wry smile as he recounted his previous encounters.
Upon hearing this, Erika looked at him oddly. "Is that why they are after you? Do I look like someone who can be easily fooled?"
With that, she slowly approached Shasha, grabbing his collar and pulling him close. "Listen, I don't care about your grievances with them. Don't mention that I was here to anyone, understand?"
Looking at her face so close and smelling the fragrance from her breath, Shasha awkwardly turned his head. "Believe me or not, I'm telling the truth."
Without responding to him, Erika pushed Shasha away. With a light leap from her toes, she soared into the air and landed on one of the iron railings leading up to the rooftop. Her graceful movements left him in awe.
After Erika left for a while, Shasha looked down at the five unconscious gang members and couldn't help but frown.
The immediate priority was to figure out why they were causing him trouble, as only by understanding this could he find a way to resolve the issue instead of waiting for them to come back and face certain doom.
If Shasha were a bit more ruthless, he could have killed these five to silence them. That way, no one would come looking for trouble in the short term. However, he chose to take the leader of the gang away for questioning instead.
Shasha didn't know much about interrogation techniques, but he had learned various methods from his past life. At most, he could intimidate them, which he was capable of doing. Thus, the power behind this gang member began to surface.
Jin Bing, a familiar name—an antagonist shared by Daredevil and Spider-Man. A brutal and cunning figure, his ability to make Spider-Man and Daredevil look foolish without any special powers showcased just how formidable he was. Facing such an enemy with Shasha's current abilities was simply impossible.
"Main Quest: Establish Yourself! Completed. Main Quest Two: Make Your Mark! Activated."
"Upon learning that your adversary is Jin Bing, you must overcome your inner fears and confront your opponent."
"Disrupt Jin Bing's gang control chain and show him you're not someone to mess with!"
"Quest Reward: One chance for Intermediate Ability Extraction, 500 Energy Points. Failure Penalty: Lose one ability, deduct five years from your lifespan."
The moment Shasha heard this quest, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. The System seemed intent on pushing him toward self-destruction; with his current abilities, he stood no chance against Jin Bing. While it might seem simple to disrupt the man's business and cause some trouble, there would undoubtedly be resistance along the way. One wrong move could cost him his life.
Yet, he had no choice but to proceed. The penalties were unacceptable—losing an ability or having years deducted from his life were both things Shasha could not accept. Life was too short; he hadn't lived enough yet!
However, there was one small consolation: Shasha finally discovered what his initial ability was.
Super Reflexes!
The nervous system and the body's reflexes can directly bypass the human brain for physical control, which is why Shasha was able to dodge those bullets and shoot without appearing like a beginner.
With this ability, although he couldn't handle those with special powers, he was more than capable of dealing with ordinary people.
Having just completed a mission, he received a reward for an ability draw and wanted to see if he could strike it lucky and draw a good ability.
At the moment he chose to use it, numerous characters appeared in his mind like a slide show, many of whom were recognizable from movies or comics he had seen in his past life.
Before long, the characters froze, and a muscular figure with striking golden hair leaped into Shasha's view.
Having played Metal Gear, Shasha immediately recognized this character as one of the famous antagonists from the series, known as Liquid Snake.
"Congratulations, host! You have drawn the character Liquid Snake. Abilities acquired: Close Combat, Firearms Proficiency, Stealth."
