Aside from his physique…
Blaine also looked at his Hunter Suit.
In fact, ever since the enhancement feature was unlocked, the Hunter Suit could also be enhanced. But Blaine had completely forgotten about it—or rather, he simply hadn't paid attention to it.
Now that he had money, he finally remembered.
The Hunter Suit hadn't been enhanced even once!
However, what surprised Blaine was that enhancing the Hunter Suit was much more expensive—significantly more so than even the Elemental Bow.
Enhancing it to +5 cost him a full ten million.
Damn, that was ridiculous.
Blaine clicked his tongue and shook his head. The ten million was well spent, though. After the Hunter Suit was enhanced to +5, even its appearance changed. Although it was still the same hooded style, it now looked more low-key, luxurious, and stylish.
The strength and magic resistance boost shot up dramatically.
In short, that ten million was worth it.
Aside from his physique and that ten million, even though Blaine claimed he wasn't afraid of death, he still upgraded the [Diamond Body] to level 3 with the classic "saying no while acting yes" attitude.
That cost another ten million.
As for [HawkEye] and [Mind Sense], those were support skills. Level 2 was already sufficient; there was no need to upgrade them to level 3.
With that, all the abilities and items he already owned had been fully enhanced.
In total, he had spent thirty million.
Out of over 120 million, he was now down to just over 90 million.
Blaine didn't feel even a little regret. On the contrary, he wanted to keep spending!
He opened the system shop—charge, charge, charge! Today, he was going to spend to his heart's content!
[Dual-Wield Revolvers]: Price 1,000,000. Infinite bullets, no need to reload. Can gain enchantment effects after enhancement.
[Fire Ability (Lv.1)]: Price 100,000. Allows brief manipulation of fire. Excessive use leads to mental fatigue. At level 3, can manipulate atmospheric elements to generate fire.
[Water Ability (Lv.1)]: Price 100,000. Allows brief manipulation of water. Excessive use leads to mental fatigue. At level 3, can manipulate atmospheric elements to generate water.
Actually, Blaine was quite interested in both the Fire and Water abilities.
But after thinking it over, he decided against it. It wasn't necessary. The Elemental Bow could already generate fire and water arrows, which was more than enough for now.
So, after careful consideration…
Blaine set his sights on one item and three skills he liked the most:
[Dual Revolvers]: Price 1,000,000. Infinite bullets, no need to reload. Can gain enchantment effects after enhancement.
[Gun Combat Technique]: Price **, a powerful ability that combines martial arts, firearms, and swordsmanship. So strong it reaches god-level existence.
[Mind Reading]: Price **, allows you to read others' thoughts. No level limit—your power determines whose thoughts you can read.
[Shadow Stealth (Lv.1)]: Price 1,000,000. Turns you into a shadow assassin. Lets you hide in shadows. At level 3, allows merging into and taking inanimate objects into any shadow (including humans'), and move freely within it.
First, the Dual-Wield Revolvers—no need to say more. Just two words: practical and cool.
If paired with Gun Combat Technique, one gun in each hand, firing into the sky, bullets bending mid-air and raining down on enemies—wow, cool to the max!
If only there were a Bow Combat Technique too.
Blaine pouted.
Then there were Mind Reading and Shadow Stealth.
Mind Reading cost ten million, and he was already inclined to buy it.
The main use of Mind Reading was for outsmarting opponents. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. had its eyes on him. Who knew if Nick Fury wasn't already planning to screw him over?
Blaine was strong in terms of raw power, but when it came to scheming, he was very self-aware—he still lagged behind that old black fox, Nick Fury.
Mind Reading was a great way to keep things under control. Whatever you're thinking—I'll know. Try to set me up? Not happening.
And as his strength increased, he could read the thoughts of stronger people. Totally worth it.
In short, this was an all-purpose skill—useful whether against enemies or allies.
As for Shadow Stealth, it went without saying—it suited Blaine's identity as a Hunter perfectly.
One method was charging in head-on to kill.
The other was silently slipping into shadows, rising from the shadow behind the target, delivering a deadly strike, and disappearing just as quietly.
Which one had more style?
Which one was more effortless?
Which one sped up mission completion by several times?
Which one was safer?
The answer was obvious.
Even if Thanos came, he could hide in Thanos' shadow!
So many advantages. If there was any downside at all, it would be the minor drawback that didn't really count—it couldn't bring living beings into shadows. But that didn't matter.
Once the head's chopped off, is it still a living being?
Oh right, the only real pity was that Shadow Stealth only allowed movement between shadows—it didn't mean you could pass through walls.
But then again, if it allowed that, this skill definitely wouldn't be this cheap.
