Chapter 98

"Finally back!"

Bai Xiaofei let out a long breath. He had spent about half a year in the Marvel world, and now that he was back, he felt a bit out of place. He turned his head to look at the clock in the room and saw that it was already 12:23 PM, exactly 12 hours since his last穿越 at 12:12 AM the previous night, perfectly matching the 1:360 time ratio.

It was still half an hour before Bai Xiaofei's work shift at 1:00 PM. He wasn't hungry, so he didn't need to eat. He also didn't need to review the script; despite the half-year gap, Bai Xiaofei's mental capacity had been enhanced to five times that of an average person, making the content of the three afternoon scenes a piece of cake for him!

With nothing to do, Bai Xiaofei began to tally up the gains from this time travel experience.

First, he had completed all four tasks assigned by the system, earning a total of 50,000 energy points, with an additional 5,000 points and one grand time travel lottery. Then, he had additional gains: selling the [Pym Particle Technology] and [Pheromone Technology] to the time travel mall netted him 1.5 million energy points.

Second, the time travel device had absorbed the Cosmic Cube for 96 days, earning a total of 23,040,000 energy points.

Preliminary estimates showed a total gain of 24,595,000 energy points!

It looked like a lot, and Bai Xiaofei almost drooled, but he wasn't happy at all because... according to the profit-sharing ratio, he could only get one-fifth of the total, which was 4,919,000 energy points!

Damn! It's just a fraction of the total!

What a rip-off!

Loans are just that bad!

Bai Xiaofei swore that he would never take out a loan again, or he would definitely be screwed by the time travel device!

Fortunately, even though he was ripped off, the gains from this trip were still enormous. Over 4 million energy points far exceeded his expectations. From now on, whether it was time travel or purchasing items, he wouldn't have to be so frugal. He could buy and travel as he pleased, without needing to take out loans, and all the profits would be his!

Thinking of the time travel device, Bai Xiaofei couldn't help but ask, "Device, I'm back. Shouldn't you evaluate my performance on this mission now?"

The device replied, "Calculating... It will take a few more minutes. Please wait..."

Bai Xiaofei was taken aback.

What's going on?

I have to wait? This doesn't make sense!

Usually, the results would be immediate, but this time it's taking so long...

Suddenly, Bai Xiaofei had a thought!

Could it be...

Thinking about his actions in the Marvel world, Bai Xiaofei realized that he had changed the plot so much that it had a huge impact on the subsequent events in the Marvel world, beyond what was normal. Even the time travel device couldn't easily calculate the effects!

"Based on this, my evaluation should be at least excellent, and there will definitely be additional rewards!"

Bai Xiaofei was excited.

Actually, it made sense. Whether it was the Cosmic Cube, Captain America, Captain America's shield, or Tony's Mark armor, all these key plot elements had been significantly altered due to Bai Xiaofei's presence. Especially Captain America, who was discovered at least three to four years earlier than in the original timeline. This impact was enormous!

Captain America was a crucial character in the Avengers and Captain America trilogies. By making him appear three to four years earlier, it meant that all subsequent events could be advanced or become even more chaotic and difficult!

"Haha, the more chaotic, the better! Not only will I get a better evaluation, but I'll also be more excited about the future!"

The system's evaluation would take a while, so Bai Xiaofei started thinking about the real world. This trip to the Marvel world had greatly improved him, whether in terms of energy points, black technology, or his own strength and scientific knowledge.

In the real world, the time travel device could also absorb energy, but currently, it was limited to one type—willpower!

This required Bai Xiaofei to be famous enough to gain the attention, admiration, and respect of many people, forming a pure faith. In simpler terms, he needed a large number of die-hard fans. Only then could Bai Xiaofei collect willpower, making the time travel device and himself even stronger.

Initially, Bai Xiaofei had no strength, no culture, no money, and no fame. By a stroke of luck, he was chosen by Director Zhao Yichao to play the lead role in "Good Man," the first step in developing die-hard fans—becoming a celebrity. Now, after his training, he had become a tycoon and possessed a lot of black technology, so he was no longer satisfied with just being a celebrity.

Bai Xiaofei decided to develop multiple fronts. While filming "Good Man," he would start a black technology company. Once he had a flagship product that became popular globally, he would undoubtedly gain a large number of die-hard fans, and the willpower would flow in, making it impossible not to become stronger!

"Ding!"

"Calculation complete! Host's evaluation for this time travel mission: Excellent! (Evaluation levels: Poor, Average, Good, Excellent, Amazing, Godly. The higher the evaluation, the more generous the additional rewards.) Additional rewards: 100,000 energy points; 1 Ability Theft Card (Duration: 1 year, expires after expiration!) Rewards are being distributed..."

"Whoa!"

After reading the system's message, Bai Xiaofei couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

100,000 energy points were nothing to him now, but what truly made him ecstatic was the Ability Theft Card!

The time travel mall had a wide variety of items, including some godly ones. However, special items like the Time Location Card and Skill Theft Card were not for sale and could only be obtained through lotteries or mission rewards.

In the last lottery, a Skill Theft Card appeared, which could steal the target's most proficient skill and make it the user's ability, making it quite valuable! At the time, Bai Xiaofei had a self-selection card for the grand time travel lottery, allowing him to choose the item to be drawn. Unfortunately, he was too weak and chose the Magic Pattern Manual, missing out on the Skill Theft Card.

But he never expected that this time, the system's additional reward would be an Ability Theft Card! This thing was even more godly than the Skill Theft Card!

The Skill Theft Card could only steal the target's proficient skills, like mechanical proficiency or archaeological proficiency, etc. The Ability Theft Card, however, could directly steal the target's most powerful ability, making it the user's ability, with the same level and power as the target's, and it wouldn't affect future development or training!

Wow!

This is a godly treasure!

Think about it!

If he traveled to the X-Men universe and used it on Jean Grey, wouldn't he directly gain the Black Phoenix's Level 5 superpower—the Phoenix Force!

Okay, the Black Phoenix is sealed, so there might be a chance of failure.

But what about Magneto, or Professor X, or even Wolverine? Whether it's Magneto's Level 4 magnetic control, Professor X's Level 4 telepathic control, or Wolverine's healing ability, they are all incredibly powerful superbeings!

No, no!

These characters are still too weak. Even if they are powerful, they can still be killed!

With such a godly treasure, it must be used at the most critical moment! Don't just focus on superpowers; there are many more powerful beings, like... gods and demons! In the immortal and fantasy universes, there are all kinds of powerful beings, like Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong, and Buddha. If he could secretly use it on them...

Thinking about it, Bai Xiaofei started drooling.

At this moment, the time travel device suddenly said, "Host, before you fantasize, please read the usage instructions carefully. Otherwise, any adverse consequences will be your responsibility!"

"Huh?"

Bai Xiaofei was annoyed that his beautiful fantasy was interrupted, but considering the device's tendency to screw him over, he curiously looked at the usage instructions for the Ability Theft Card: "No restrictions on stealing abilities, but limited to the target's most powerful ability; no restrictions on the target, but limited to those whose strength is not more than twice that of the user. If exceeded, the ability theft may fail, and the result will be: the relationship between the ability thief and the target will be reversed, and the user will lose their most powerful ability, which will be stolen by the target! If successful, the stolen ability will be severely weakened due to the user's insufficient strength, or the user may be overwhelmed by the stolen ability, or it may cause adverse mutations, etc. Use with caution!"

"Damn!"

After reading the instructions, Bai Xiaofei felt terrible!

There were actually restrictions, and they were really unfair! Especially the failure result, which could reverse the relationship, was truly heartless!

The time travel device's cold water completely doused Bai Xiaofei's excitement, and he was completely scared by the failure result. In the end, he could only console himself, "Hmph! No problem! There's a one-year usage period, right? As long as I can boost my strength to the limit within a year, the Ability Theft Card will still be very powerful!"

However, just as Bai Xiaofei was giving himself a pep talk, the time travel device chimed in again, "Host, kindly note that the one-year period is universal across all time!"

"..."

Bai Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, then completely lost it, "Damn! You bastard, why are you everywhere! Get lost! I don't want to see you! Get lost! Get lost!"
