Marvel Gashapon Maniac

The most important reason is that I didn't realize that the twin tails attribute caused the twin tails bracelet's strength to drop significantly.

For example, the abilities I can currently exert are like Kuuga in his blank, nascent form, Saitama before he went bald, or Pharaoh before he had any sudden, unexpected lapses in judgment.

I thought my gear would be good enough for Avengers 1, but now I think I'll have to consider upgrading it.

You can't fight while holding up an octahedron and saying, "Come here and I'll close the box!"

That can't be the case, can it? If you really run into a reckless person, do you close the box or not?

Looks like I need to actively complete some tasks to save some money recently.

Even if you plan to coast along in Thanos's crew, if you're not going to coast along with a resurrection coin, you at least have to survive until the end of the crew.

The items I currently have can enhance my abilities...

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Tony asked curiously, looking at Fu You who had been silent with his chin in his hand after speaking.

"Nothing, just thinking about something," Fu You said casually, flipping through his inventory.

"what's up?"

"I'm thinking, should I say to you, 'I'm not human anymore, Nini!'"

Fu You looked at the Desire Gem in the props and said thoughtfully.

"What?"

……

The Hulk incident has come to a temporary end. General Ross is responsible for compensating for the damage to the street, and no one died unexpectedly this time, so it can be said that everyone is happy.

Although this incident cost Fu You $186 for a hamburger, it earned him 500 energy points and a random gacha.

"Let's try our luck with the gacha pulls first and see what we get, then we'll decide where to focus our upgrades."

Drawing a prize before upgrading can effectively prevent wasted upgrades.

Open the gashapon capsule; good luck brings golden light.

[Passive: Death-Giving Sword Qi]

(Only effective when wielding a sword) The next attack deals damage equal to 5-10% of the enemy's maximum health, and the equivalent amount of damage restores the user's health.

Cooling time: 15 minutes

-

"Wow, this is a good thing." Fu You was quite excited to have drawn a skill.

The passive skill of Aatrox, the Darkin Blade, comes from the popular online game League of Legends.

Although you can't see health bars in reality, this skill is undoubtedly a very powerful skill.

The fixed maximum health damage can directly break through the defenses of many high-level bosses, and the equal amount of health restored means that if the opponent has enough health, it can even fully restore your own health in one go.

After acquiring this skill, Fu You's combat abilities were greatly enhanced.

The remaining reward is 500 energy points, which need to be allocated.

I don't plan to use these 500 points for the lottery for now. If I don't get anything useful from the lottery, it will slow down my combat power increase. Kiana's Lucky Power is still on cooldown, so it's better to use these 500 points elsewhere.

Therefore, Fu You decided to use a function that he had basically never used before—the enhancement machine.

-

【Twin Ponytail Bracelet】Modification and Enhancement:

1.锻造，＋1增幅，＋5后有几率失败（100——1000）

2. Combine with other similar items (600 energy points)

3. Equipped with a basic twin-tail attribute gem (200 energy points)

4. Equipped with long-range artillery capabilities, the artillery equipment will fully recharge (400 energy points) within 30 minutes after the transformation ends.

5. Add enhancement items to upgrade performance (800 points)

-

There are five aspects to the enhancement, and Fu You actually had his eye on the one that could fuse similar items.

But what's most frustrating is that we were just 100 points short.

Although I'm not really keen on it, I currently have a Player Driver Belt that I can't use. Instead of waiting a month and relying on luck to pull a new cartridge, I might as well fuse its performance into it and enhance my combat power.

In fact, apart from the traditional, ridiculous enhancement method of forging, Fu You wants to have one for every enhancement method.

But I don't have money; being poor is the biggest obstacle to making me buy things.

"Let's get some twin tails to boost the stats, then try enhancing it a couple of times first." Fu You sighed, deciding to save up for the rest of the enhancements later.

Although I'm not really keen on cross-dressing, who wouldn't want to enhance their combat abilities?

[Gain 500 Data Energy]

"Huh?" A notification suddenly popped up, showing that a deposit had been made.

Fu You opened the message and saw that it was the reward for the quest "[Game Initial Release]".

"It was released today, GTA." Fu You immediately understood why; Stark Industries had just released GTA today, earning Fu You 500 points.

If he were just half a minute later, he would be in that awkward situation of being 100 points short again. Fu You felt that Tony was the real savior of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

[Number of players reached: Gain 300 Data Energy]

[Number of players reached: Gain 400 Data Energy]

"...Wasn't it just released today?" Fu You was stunned by the sudden influx of money when he saw the continuous notifications.

......

"Mr. Tony Stark, could you tell us why you switched careers to make games?" the reporter asked, standing up.

This is a Stark Industries press conference, usually a launch event for high-end technologies. However, today, something special is being launched here.

A game, a game released by an arms company.

If this had been told to someone before, they probably would have thought it was a lame joke, but now Stark Industries has actually held a press conference for this game.

And... Tony Stark even hosted the press conference himself.

“I’ll reiterate, this is a game released by a friend of mine who can’t be named,” Tony emphasized into the microphone.

However, the other authors around him all had a "you're kidding me" look on their faces.

It's like when someone asks for advice about dating problems, saying it's their friend's story. Actually, most of those stories are their own, they're just too embarrassed to talk about them.

Tony didn't bother to explain further and simply told the audience, "This is a game ahead of its time; this game is another world."

He turned and left the scene immediately after speaking, leaving behind the noisy atmosphere.

"Hmph, it might not even be any junk. What good games can a weapons manufacturer make?" a reporter said dismissively, picking up a helmet from the demo area and examining it.

"This thing is quite impressive." Although that's what I said, even if I was dismissive, I still had to try out the machine, since I needed to write an article when I got back.

The reporter had already made up his mind to go back and compare this game with several currently popular games, giving Tony Stark a good dressing down for not focusing on his job.

Let's choose "Captain America: Beach Landing".

The reporter had a plan in mind and put on a helmet.

When his consciousness began to fade and he regained it moments later, two robbers were robbing him right in front of him, brandishing guns and shouting.

The reporter was completely dumbfounded.

"I...I've traveled through time?"

1. Of course, I'm still asking for all sorts of things.

2. I went to visit my maternal grandfather in the hospital today, so the update is a bit late and the quality feels a bit low. Please forgive me.

3. Went to work the night shift, ciao

4. Regarding the readers who suggested I abandon the transformation content, it's actually part of the book's selling point. Hopefully, they can understand if you find it uncomfortable.

Chapter 26 Trends from all parties

After a brief period of promotion by Tony Stark, the release of Grand Theft Auto reached a very high level of popularity.

After all, the hype surrounding Tony Stark's previous revelation that he was Iron Man hasn't died down yet, and everyone is still focused on what Tony Stark will do next.

Although it was unexpected that he released a game, it did not diminish the public's curiosity.

Although Fu You had carefully instructed Tony to include the M rating (17 years and older) in the published information and on the cover, Fu You had also made it clear that the game was suitable for players aged 17 and above.

However, there are still quite a few people who are curious about the game.

The sales figures on the first day of the press conference were very impressive, leaving Fu You stunned by the sheer amount of money he received while sitting at home.

"Sir, this is the first day's sales report."

Jarvis showed Tony the GTA sales figures.

"Let's put that matter aside for now and leave it to the sales department. We need to think about the energy industry plan now." Tony waved his hand dismissively, without even glancing at the sales report.

He admitted that virtual reality technology amazed him, but he wasn't particularly optimistic about the project.

He also played GTA, a free-roaming game full of violent elements, so its 17+ rating is definitely accurate.

However, in his view, the players' enthusiasm is due to the brand-new technology and the highly cathartic gameplay. Once the novelty wears off, how many players will remain?

Tony's lack of experience with the game led him to make some incorrect assessments, while some early adopters who had already played the game discovered its unique aspects.

"Sir, this is your foie gras."

The waiter served the first dish to the man who was waiting for his food.

This is a YouTuber who streams games; he managed to snag a game as soon as it was released.

The helmet thoughtfully has a function to stream his game progress, so he simply started streaming GTA.

The combination of the hottest game at the moment and the eye-catching virtual reality gaming experience caused his viewership and number of followers to skyrocket.

When he saw the number of viewers, which was several times higher than usual, he laughed so hard he almost blew bubbles from his nose.

After carrying out a spectacular Pacific Bank robbery, he happily strolled around the streets looking for weapons shops and the like.

"Hey streamer, look! That restaurant over there is open."

A comment caught his attention, and when he looked up, he saw that there was indeed a restaurant open.

He did see restaurants along the way, but he didn't pay attention to the smaller ones.

This happens in many games; except for a few shops, the decorations are just like textures.

However, the restaurant in front of us is quite large, and it looks like a high-end restaurant with very sophisticated furnishings.

In real life, he definitely wouldn't go in. A meal at a restaurant like that would probably cost him a month's salary, so he couldn't afford it.

But things are different now. Since it's just a game, the money just seems to come out of thin air.

"Let's go in and take a look, it's just a game anyway." With that thought, he pushed open the door and walked into the restaurant.

Many games have a feature where restaurants sell items that restore health or mana, and he was curious about what kind of restoration items were sold in this game.

He sat down at the table and glanced at the menu; the prices were indeed quite expensive. But he wasn't worried now; he had enough money in his pocket to show off.

"Give me a recipe!" He threw the menu on the table with an air of arrogance, showing off quite a bit.

"OHHHHHH——" The barrage of comments immediately erupted into chaos.

However, he eventually changed his mind and ordered a few dishes, realizing that he had only ordered them for the sake of the show.

"Sir, this is your foie gras."

The waiter served him the first dish.

"There's no effect displayed." He looked left and right, then picked up the plate to examine it.

There was absolutely no display effect; it was just like an ordinary dish.

"I don't know what it's supposed to be, I'll just try it." Without understanding the effect, he cut off a piece and put it in his mouth.
