After the initial excitement, Blaine completely calmed down. He needed to carefully plan how to use the fifty million.
Instant Transmission cost 500 million — directly passed, he really couldn't afford it.
Sharingan was also passed — in this world, the basic Sharingan wasn't enough to make a name for itself. Only the Rinnegan or the Rinnegan with the Nine Tomoe Sharingan could stand out in the Marvel universe.
As for Fire and Water abilities, buying them would only get him Lv.1, and they would still need upgrades — so they were temporarily put aside.
Wall-Phasing Technique, X-Ray Vision — those were also passed for now.
That left Mind Reading, priced at 10 million dollars.
It was expensive, yes, but definitely very useful — his top choice.
However, before buying anything new, it was better to first upgrade the abilities he already had.
When it came to abilities, quality mattered more than quantity.
A hundred people with Lv.1 abilities might manage to defeat one Lv.2 opponent, but against a Lv.3? Even a thousand Lv.1 abilities would be useless.
Some battles can't be won with numbers.
[Host: Blaine
Physical Strength: 6
Hunter Rank: D
Abilities: [Absolute Hit Lv.1] [Combat Technique]
Equipment: [White Snake's Bow] ]
Combat Technique was a skill that, once purchased, was set for life — it wouldn't matter even if he got billion- or trillion-dollar missions in the future.
The most important thing to upgrade was [Absolute Hit].
Currently, Absolute Hit was at Lv.1, still within the bounds of a normal human. It was fine for the early stages of the Marvel world, but it would definitely become insufficient later on.
He immediately clicked upgrade.
[Absolute Hit Lv.1]: Upgrade Cost: 1,000,000.
Blaine scratched his head. Upgrading from Lv.1 to Lv.2 actually required one million dollars. His earlier assumption that it would only take three hundred thousand dollars was too naïve.
He had thought: if buying it cost 100,000, upgrading should cost just a few hundred thousand, right?Now he realized it was ten times more — a full million for an upgrade!
It was a good thing he didn't rush to buy Fire Ability. Even if he didn't know if every power had such steep upgrade costs, it definitely wouldn't be cheap.
Still, ten million was ten million — upgrading was absolutely necessary. After a brief moment of regret, Blaine went ahead and clicked upgrade.
[Absolute Hit Lv.2]: Upgrade cost: 10,000,000.
Alright, again it multiplied by 10 — from one million to ten million.
What did Absolute Hit Lv.2 mean? It had already been explained earlier.
After upgrading Absolute Hit to Lv.2, Blaine picked up a pen from the table beside him.
Then he flicked it lightly.
The pen shot out at an extremely slow speed through the air.
Advancing just a few centimeters per second.
It was like something floating in outer space, slowly and steadily heading toward Blaine's intended target.
This was Absolute Hit Lv.2 — a power that transcended the ordinary. No matter how strong or weak the force behind it, as long as Blaine released it, it would unconditionally strike the intended target. At this level, it was no longer limited to the line of sight.
Of course, if the object carrying the "force" were destroyed, the effect would be broken.
Watching the pen crawl through the air like a snail, Blaine flicked his finger at it.
"Clack."
Without any surprise, the pen fell to the ground.
Even at this stage, the ability was already amazing.
But…
It was still not enough.
Blaine shook his head.
Just Lv.2 — it still felt like something was missing.
Continue upgrading!
Upgrading from Lv.2 to Lv.3 required ten million dollars. It was expensive, but still within his means.
[Absolute Hit Lv.3]: Upgrade cost: 1,000,000,000.
Lv.3 to Lv.4 would need one billion dollars.
This wasn't just a 10x increase anymore.
It was a full 100x jump.
But Blaine didn't realize it yet — he was fully immersed in the profound power of Absolute Hit Lv.3.
Even if he saw the cost, he probably wouldn't be too shocked.
Because Absolute Hit Lv.3 was just that insane.
Who knew what kind of existence Absolute Hit Lv.4 would be? Was it even something a human mind could comprehend?
By that stage, it would no longer be something money could measure. Actually, even Absolute Hit Lv.1 wasn't something that could truly be measured by money!
All he could say was — Bounty Hunters were seriously badass!
"Lv.3 is just insanely f*cking strong," Blaine exhaled deeply, couldn't help but curse, and his eyes were still filled with shock.
