Marvel Gashapon Maniac

"Is that thing a product of another world?" A voice suddenly came from the void, followed by sparks that looked like welding. The sparks formed a circular door, and a figure walked out from it.

She was a bald woman in a yellow robe. If Fu You had seen her in a temple, he would have thought she was a nun from the mountain.

But she knew this person.

The Guardian of Earth, the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme.

1. So, as usual, I'm asking for all sorts of things, cough cough.

2. The update is late mainly because I finish my day shift late and don't have much time to slack off during the workday.

3. Ahem, as a Kamen Rider fan, how could I not watch the latest Kamen Rider Heisei Next Generation update? I'll post a second update after I finish watching it!

Chapter 15 System Update Without Downtime

"Who are you?" Although Fu You knew who the other person was, he still had to pretend.

"Just a sorcerer with a little knowledge of magic, just call me Ancient One." Ancient One's humble demeanor almost fooled Fu You if he hadn't known her.

I believe you!

"So there are magicians in this world?" Fu You asked, feigning surprise.

"...Kid, do you know how fake your acting is?" Gu Yi hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and said.

"Kid, do you know that a normal surprised expression usually doesn't last more than two seconds? If it lasts too long, it starts to look like you're acting."

"Cough cough cough..." Fu You looked embarrassed.

She didn't graduate from a drama school, how could she possibly know so much about acting?

"Let's get straight to the point. Is there something you need, Ancient One?" Knowing he couldn't outmaneuver these experienced people, Fu You went straight to the point.

"It's about that visitor from another world." The Ancient One didn't mince words: "I didn't even notice there was an outsider in this world before you cast that spell, so I'm very curious."

With a wave of her hand, Gu sent the strange fragment in Fu You's hand flying to her.

"I can't sense the power of other dimensions, but there is indeed a power that doesn't belong to this dimension."

Gu Yi carefully examined the fragment.

"And your power... seems to originate from the same source."

Fu You was taken aback by what he heard, but he didn't rush to refute it.

“The origins seem the same, but their natures are completely different.” The fragment flew back to Fu You’s side, and Gu Yi put her hands behind her back again.

"So it seems you don't intend to get involved?" Fu You reached out and took the fragment, staring intently at Gu Yi.

"So you knew me all along." Gu Yi's tone was calm, as if she had already guessed it.

“If it were any other time and an outsider entered this world, I would definitely expel him, but…” Ancient One sighed.

“I am busy defending against Dormammu’s invasion, and these outsiders are imperceptible. Therefore, the best way is to choose someone to fight against these outsiders.”

"Isn't this a bit much? It feels like I've been handpicked." Fu You scratched his head and said modestly.

"It's alright, I'm just asking you to keep an eye on things." Gu Yi didn't mind entrusting Fu You with this important task.

"I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."

A halo appeared behind the Ancient One again, and she lightly jumped into it and disappeared.

"Easier said than done, I still have to risk my life for you," Fu You muttered under his breath, "old nun."

Before Fu You could finish speaking, a small circle appeared in mid-air, and a hand reached out from inside and gave Fu You a sharp rap on the head.

"There's one more thing. Absorb that fragment; it can help you become stronger."

The voice of the Ancient One echoed through the circle, and then the small circle disappeared.

"Ouch...it hurts!" Fu You cried out, clutching his forehead.

"Are you leaving?" She covered her head and looked around.

"The old nun?"

Snapped--

……

"Ancient One, do you need to be so concerned about that outsider?" a fat Asian man asked the Ancient One.

He was one of the Ancient One's most trusted people, the "King" of the library.

“I saw her future with the Eye of Agamotto,” the Ancient One said calmly.

"Will she become a hero?" Wang asked curiously.

“No.” Gu Yi shook her head: “It’s because his future… is as numerous as the stars.”

Gu Yi couldn't help but think of the future she had observed, which was like a galaxy of stars.

……

System upgrade complete – System now at version 2.0.

After the fragment was fused with the system, an upgrade notification appeared.

Fu You took out his phone, and the number of apps that were previously scarce had increased considerably.

[Task begins]

[System Shop 2.0]

[Task System]

Fashion Section

[Strengthening Machine]

Achievement System

The mobile app, which originally only had two options, "Start Task" and "Shop," has now expanded to six.

The enhancement system in the app is a detailed version of the previous system that consumed energy points to enhance weapons, so there's not much to know about it. The achievement system and fashion section are empty because nothing has been unlocked.

Then the focus shifted to the remaining options.

The task system is open, and there are many tasks scattered around it.

[A truly amazing dish] 200 energy points

[Map Exploration: New York] 100 Data Energy

[Game Initial Release] 500 Data Energy

……

These tasks are similar to those in online games, with "accept" and "abandon" options below them. They all appear to be side quests; the main quest section is currently empty.

"It's starting to feel like I'm playing an online game," Fu You complained, looking at the quest interface that felt so familiar.

Thankfully, I didn't turn into a skeleton.

Then comes the main event: the upgraded system store 2.0.

The previous list and waiting time have disappeared, replaced by two gashapon machines.

On the left is a regular gashapon machine, where you can select the gashapon you want to draw from on an electronic screen. You can choose to spin it once or ten times, which is basically the same as the design of a regular gacha pool.

100能量点1次，10连1000。终于摆脱了每天等时间的尴尬情况了，不过自己好像也穷的只有200能量来着。

And on the right is the limited pool... oops, I mean the limited gacha pool. There's a daily UP event, which narrows down the range of gacha pulls.

[Special Attribute Equipment Upgrade for a Limited Time]

This is the UP for this episode.

According to the description, these equipment items will increase certain attributes, and some rare ones will also come with skills.

What Fu You lacks now is regular combat power. He has to wear women's clothing every time he goes out to fight, which feels a bit awkward.

Currently, he only has a few usable items: the "Enemy is Deaf and Blind" weapon to evade S.H.I.E.L.D., the "Barton Spell" which is only level 1 and only used to bully thugs, the "Charged Laser Cannon" which consumes too much energy and breaks after one shot, and the new weapon he uses in his transformed state, "Rebellion".

Most of the time, I still have to rely on the [Twin Tail Bracelet] to fight. Although I have truly transformed, I still have the illusion that I am dressed as a woman.

Once you have good new gear, who would want to dress as a woman?

I still have 200 points left, enough for two draws. What if I get the desired item in a single draw?

With this in mind, Fu You decided to try out two shots to test the poison.

On the first try, the gashapon fell out of the machine and cracked at the top.

-

Nobita's Glasses

Equipping this item increases ordinariness by 50% and the chance of being looked down upon by 100%. It can also improve shooting accuracy and increase proficiency with firearms.

-

"This thing..." Fu You was too lazy to even comment on the equipment. What was it for? To play dumb and outsmart someone?

Let's just seal it away; this thing is too weak.

"Continue, the next shipment will definitely be successful."

Twist it again, and a gashapon capsule will fall out.

Wow, so colorful!

-

[Kiana's Girls' Frontline Battle Suit - A Lucky Outfit] (Set Costume)

The outfit worn by Kiana from the Honkai series during a collaboration event can increase melee and firearms proficiency when equipped.

Set bonuses:

【Gunfighting Technique】lv.1: A special combat method that can be upgraded using data energy.

[Power of Luck] Triples Luck attribute for 1 minute, cooldown time 30 days.

-

"...There's nothing wrong with wearing women's clothing, is there?"

1. Still asking for all sorts of things, cough cough.

2. This chapter is to make up for yesterday's missing part. I was indeed a bit busy at work, and I fell asleep after get off work because I was too tired. I'll make up for it today.

3. Congratulations on almost reaching 600 (588) favorites! But as for the extra chapters... cough cough, it's negotiable, a verbal celebration will suffice.

Chapter 16 Three-Egg Shumai (Repaired)

Good afternoon, sir.

Tony arrived at the villa where Fu You was and pushed open the door, at which point Jarvis's voice rang out.

"Where's Fu You? What's he doing?" Tony looked around the lobby but couldn't find Fu You.

"Mr. Fu You is currently in the kitchen. He ordered some ingredients this morning and then went into the kitchen."

"Ingredients? She can cook?" Tony asked in surprise.

In Tony's memory, Fu You was basically the type of person who stayed at home and ate fast food and takeout every day.

"Huh? Tony, when did you get here?" Just as Tony was about to go into the kitchen to check in case it exploded, Fu You came out carrying a steamer.

“Just arrived, but your outfit…” Tony looked Fu You up and down.

Fu You is currently wearing the Kiana outfit he won in the lottery, a school-style outfit.

A white short-sleeved top paired with a gray pleated skirt, and black stockings on her thighs forming the standard JK (high school girl) absolute territory.

If Tony saw her at school, he would definitely think she was the school's most beautiful girl.
