Chapter 88: Cheating with Wanda
"Thanks. I’m giving it back to you. Make sure you do your homework."
After casually dealing with Whiplash, Orion Cross took off the ring and returned it to Wanda. After giving her a reminder, he walked out of her bedroom.
"I’m not a child anymore..."
After Orion Cross left, Wanda puffed her cheeks and muttered while turning back around.
After returning to his bedroom, Orion Cross took a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom. As the shower washed over him, Orion Cross relaxed all over and began checking the gains from this time. First was naturally the pitiful master of instant defeat, Student Whiplash. Although Ivan Vanko had appeared for less than a minute and only said one line, "Tony Stark," his contribution was undoubtedly great. In Orion Cross’s eyes, the reward obtained from completing Whiplash’s mission was even more practical than Abomination’s, especially since Orion Cross had only recently obtained that painfully awkward adamantium man extinguisher.
Weapon Reforging Box: Whiplash.
Description: This is a consumable item. It can only be used once.
Details: Place any weapon into the Weapon Reforging Box. After one minute, the weapon will be reforged into a random whip-type weapon. The weapon’s material will remain unchanged. Multiple weapons can be placed inside, and all weapon traits will be fused together.
What an incredibly practical item! At the very least, Orion Cross would not have to extravagantly hang an adamantium fire extinguisher on the wall of his house in the future. As for whether a whip-type weapon would be easy to use, Orion Cross said that was not a problem.
Orion Cross dried his hair and returned to the bedroom in a bathrobe. He had not forgotten that there was still one mission reward he had not checked. If the difficulty of Abomination’s mission was only ten, then the difficulty of Captain America’s mission was at least ninety. If Steve had not just been thawed and awakened, if the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. had not cooperated, and if Orion Cross had not come up with that bizarre yet fresh script, it would have been truly difficult to make him fall into despair. It could be called the perfect alignment of timing, location, and people. Not one of them could have been missing.
According to Orion Cross’s guess that mission difficulty was related to rewards, that "Warp Battleship" was definitely not an ordinary thing.
Nightmare Fusion: Warp Battleship.
Description: This is a personal spaceship fused from several famous warships. Its only flaw is that because of its small size, the energy it carries is insufficient for sustained attacks.
Details: Possesses five special abilities.
Force Field Barrier: Consumes 0.5% energy per second to deploy a sturdy defensive barrier around the Warp Battleship.
Rapid Warp: Consumes 1% energy to instantly warp to a designated location.
Purification Beam: Consumes 50% energy to lock onto a single unit with an orbital beam and carry out continuous tracking bombardment.
Planet-Shattering Cannon: Consumes 99% energy and requires ten minutes of compression and accumulation before firing a destructive beam forward, sweeping away everything in its path.
Dark Matter Conversion: In a cosmic environment, automatically recovers 5% energy every month.
Five very simple abilities, representing defense, movement, single-target attack, area attack, and recovery. Of course, Orion Cross would not take it out now. First, there was nowhere to put it. Second, even if he took it out, it would not be useful for the time being. He did not need interstellar travel right now, so what use did he have for a spaceship? As for the two killing moves, Purification Beam and Planet-Shattering Cannon, their consumption was too high, and recovering energy required placing the spaceship in a cosmic environment. It was too troublesome. Besides, there did not seem to be any enemies for now who required the use of those two attack methods.
The next morning, Orion Cross went downstairs as usual and sat at the dining table. After seeing the Warp Battleship yesterday, Orion Cross had been thinking about whether he could find the Guardians of the Galaxy when he had time. After all, as long as he found one of them, it would be equivalent to finding all of them. When the time came, would it not be wonderful if a bunch of missions triggered at once? But after thinking about it again, Orion Cross realized something. What year on Earth’s calendar did the Guardians of the Galaxy gather together? It seemed to still be very early. After all, that guy who liked playing with hammers had not even been thrown down by his father yet.
"You really came?"
Seeing Natasha sit down on her own, Orion Cross speechlessly bit into a steamed bun.
"My vacation time has arrived anyway. Isn’t it my freedom where I go?"
Natasha picked up the egg roll she had asked Skye to make yesterday, took a bite, and said, "Besides, I also want to ask in advance what I’ll need to do after officially joining, so I can prepare."
"Live an ordinary person’s life. Occasionally do a few things."
"An ordinary person’s life? Do you mean going to work at a company like Invisible Woman and Mystique? Or do you mean making a hacker work as your chef?"
Natasha rolled her eyes and said, "What do you think I can do?"
"I don’t know. Figure it out yourself."
Orion Cross glanced at Natasha, took a sip of milk, then walked outside. He had not used the Weapon Reforging Box yesterday precisely because he had been waiting until today.
"What are you doing?"
Natasha followed him out, holding the egg roll in one hand as she leaned against the front door.
"Making... no, reforging a weapon."
Orion Cross opened the Weapon Reforging Box, which looked plain and unremarkable, no different from an ordinary wooden box.
"A weapon? What kind?"
Skye also followed out and looked at Orion Cross curiously.
"I don’t know either. I’ll leave it to fate. I hope it won’t be something bizarre."
Orion Cross first threw the adamantium fire extinguisher inside. Then he transformed into his War Aspect form and placed the Star-Piercing Spear and Star-Defending Holy Shield inside as well.
It was not over yet.
Orion Cross took out the Holy Pistols and Demon Pistols stored in his space and poured them all in at once. Logically speaking, after so many things had been put in, the box should have already been full, but from the outside, the box still looked like a pitch-black void.
"This one... might as well put it in too. I really don’t want to be a lancer anymore."
Orion Cross entered Ascended Mode and discovered that the golden scepter in his hand was also shaped like a long spear, so he simply threw it in as well.
"I hope it gives me a slightly better weapon..."
Orion Cross closed the box, crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and stared at the box while waiting for the result one minute later.
"What a strange thing. Is this also a magical product?"
Wanda blinked her big eyes, hugged Orion Cross’s arm, and asked curiously.
"I guess so... Wait!"
Orion Cross suddenly thought of something and had a guess. He looked at Wanda. "Have you tried using your other ability?"
"Not yet..."
Wanda looked innocently at Orion Cross and shook her head.
"Then try it. That ability can work together with your magic, and it’s not weak in the slightest."
Orion Cross pointed at the Weapon Reforging Box and said to Wanda, "Try making the probability of a better weapon appearing come out."
"I’ll try."
Wanda took a deep breath and walked in front of the box.
Probability alteration.
Thirty seconds later.
Thud.
The box shattered, and two short blades attached to chains fell to the ground.
