Chapter 187 Riley: I'll just look, I won't touch it.
Nick Fury, caught in a mix of emotions—both relieved that Spider-Man, a powerful being, existed in the world to fight against an unknown god, and worried that Spider-Man might have ulterior motives and be secretly plotting something—began to plan the resurrection of "Old Popsicle."
Riley, completely unaware of this, watched as Coulson left, repeatedly assuring her that he would keep his promise and spend the whole day playing with the two Jade girls. Seeing their anger dissipate, their smiles returning, and them holding her hands, urging her to head to the next ride, Riley secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is really good at stirring things up! Just now, it was so close that Jade Black was about to run out of patience and summon the Shadow Legion to flip the table and instantly become a world-class boss!
Indeed, without comparison, there is no harm...
Compared to S.H.I.E.L.D., Riley felt more and more that Section 13, led by Commissioner Black, was incredibly reliable!
During the subsequent activities, in order to prepare for the upcoming events, Riley did not forget to secretly open his system panel, sort out his gains, and allocate points during the more relaxed activities—such as on a calm lake, where the two Jade girls took turns driving while Riley acted as a tool, providing power to the small yacht by stepping on the pedals.
The good news is that the intense dungeons over the past five days have caused Riley's points to skyrocket to a staggering 500,000.
The bad news is that Riley continued to add points to Agility as usual, and just when he reached 700 points, which is equivalent to a speed of 1400 kilometers per hour, the point icon turned gray. No matter how many times Riley clicked on it, there was no further response.
Fortunately, Riley had encountered this situation when he was a child.
Back then, Riley believed that speed was the only way to win in martial arts, so every time he diligently checked in and painstakingly accumulated 100 points, he would blindly choose to go all in on Agility.
Then, just like now, once the agility value reaches a certain level, the upgrade option turns gray and becomes unresponsive.
This led Riley to mistakenly believe that the system was inadequate, limiting his potential to this level. Left with no other option, he began to focus on improving his strength attribute.
It wasn't until the Strength attribute, which had lagged far behind Agility, surpassed Agility and widened the gap, that the Agility attribute, which had remained gray, lit up again.
Clearly, this was not the limit of the system's improvement, but rather the limit that Riley's body could withstand.
However, after a series of battles, Riley's strength attribute in his normal state has increased to 20000 points. While it still lags significantly behind agility, his agility attribute has reached a point where it cannot be improved further.
This puzzled Riley, who began to ponder the reasons behind it.
He quickly realized that the problem this time wasn't whether Riley's body could handle it...
However, Riley's biofield is ultimately not as outrageous as Superman's.
This means that if Riley insists on going his own way and continues to enhance agility,
Therefore, the further increase in speed will inevitably break through the limitations of the bio-force field. Just as Riley initially feared, it will begin to indiscriminately destroy everything around it.
Therefore, the system will block the agility enhancement option for security reasons until this issue is resolved.
Fortunately, Riley, who deeply understands the principle of "contentment brings happiness," is quite satisfied with his current ability to run at supersonic speeds even without using the Rabbit Charm, after figuring out the reasons behind it.
Moreover, all twelve talismans are conceptual artifacts whose power increases with the strength of the user.
Therefore, combined with the magic of the Rabbit Talisman, Riley's speed can be increased by nearly a hundred times! Furthermore, thanks to the protection of the Rabbit Talisman's magic, the terrible destructive power brought about during high-speed movement is offset!
In this way, Riley, when running at full speed, would probably also use "Mach" as the unit of measurement, but the data panel would often only have single digits, and Ultraman, who rarely breaks double digits, would be far behind!
Therefore, Riley, whose speed was more than sufficient, was not in a hurry to solve the problem, even though he had noticed it.
Instead, he seemed to be deep in thought, turning his gaze to the other side of the system interface, to the lottery function that had been neglected and buried in dust since the upgrade, to the point of being practically invisible.
Riley could use the remaining points to upgrade either Strength or Intelligence.
However, having too much power means that Riley will have to spend more time and effort paying attention to the force of his attacks, which is not entirely a good thing.
As for intelligence, which consumes the most points...
From the very beginning, when Riley raised his Intelligence to seven points, he realized that Intelligence would only improve his application of knowledge and learning efficiency, but would not affect his mind. Nor would it transform him, this modern-day Jia Xu, into the all-knowing Zhuge Liang with the increase in Intelligence level.
To draw an analogy, it's like Superman's super intelligence.
Mingming Chao's intelligence is terrifyingly high; if he wanted to, he could unlock all sorts of technological advancements in no time.
He could even research and create a temporary superhuman drug on his own, which would give people the same superpowers as Superman for 24 hours without any side effects, and give it to his girlfriend Lois as a gift.
This is enough to prove that with Superman's intellect, he could mass-produce "Superman" and build a huge and terrifying army if he wanted to.
But when it comes to scheming and plotting, Superman is as clear-headed as a Boy Scout most of the time, clearly outsmarting Batman.
Although Riley believes that this is partly due to the writers' consideration of conflicting abilities, deliberately weakening Superman's performance in crossover publications so that other superheroes can have more opportunities to shine.
But if we take Superman as a reference...
With so many brilliant scientists already gathered in District 13, they could easily devise a new set of equipment to meet Riley's needs in no time.
Even if Riley spent all his points on improving his intelligence and caught up with these previously unattainable geniuses, it would only be icing on the cake and wouldn't have much impact on the overall situation.
Riley, who has always been self-aware of his "unlucky" nature and never had any expectations for random events like lotteries, finally started to take a liking to the lottery feature after so long.
"...Ahem, I'll just take a look, I'm not going to smoke... It's just a look, it shouldn't be a problem, right...?"
With this in mind, Riley, while trying to calm himself down, squinted slightly and began to carefully examine the rules of the lottery and what prizes were in the prize pool.
