NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14: Copying? And Strengthening?
Rub off the skill book?
Not really.
Although the skill book can be rubbed, Qi Jun thinks this action is a bit strange.
Why not just give it a light slap?
With a gentle slap on the 'English Mastery Skill Book.'
The 'English Mastery Skill Book' instantly turns into a stream of light, entering Qi Jun's mind.
At the same time, Qi Jun's consciousness begins to observe the entire process of copying English learning, memory, and application from the old man. From babbling to simple conversations to deep learning to navigating society to time sedimenting, the old man's lifelong English learning and application unfold before Qi Jun's eyes.
Of course, only the memories related to English learning and application.
The memories of a lifetime are vast. Moreover, the old gentleman's age is several times that of Qi Jun; if he were to copy all the old man's memories, Qi Jun would no longer be himself.
After vicariously experiencing all the English learning and application processes, this ability in English is deeply imprinted into Qi Jun's soul, as if he had truly experienced it himself for such a long time.
Moreover, copying a person's entire memory requires a massive amount of energy points.
"Whew~~~"
"Whew whew~~~"
"This feeling..."
"Is really quite extraordinary!"
"Although it's only about learning English and applying it, it still feels like experiencing a lifetime."
"Amazing!"
"If it were complete memories, wouldn't I no longer be myself?"
With a deep breath, Qi Jun tries to calm his pounding heart.
"Wow~"
"But this instant mastery of a nearly lifetime-learned skill is really."
"Too wonderful!"
Qi Jun clearly hears himself speaking fluent American English with a New York accent.
Even more, Qi Jun has mastered dozens of different accents and slang from various regions of the US.
Clearly, a man who survived wars and lived for decades, nearly a century, has such rich language skills!
"To instantly master someone else's lifelong skill in the form of a skill book."
"This ability is really too powerful!"
Even after reflecting on it before, Qi Jun feels the need to marvel at it once more.
"Oh~"
"Right!"
"In the evening, I can also use the energy points I picked up to materialize skills like Big Daddy or Hit-Girl's firearms and combat abilities into skill books!"
"With this ability, even in this Marvel universe, I've got a bit of self-protection now!"
Although there was a moment of mental disorientation after rubbing away the skill book, Qi Jun was still very happy.
Qi Jun pondered that turning other people's abilities into skill books was really suitable for someone like him with absolutely no foundation.
For someone with no base like himself, although he has high potential, forming combat capabilities would require a lot of time—far more than just a little.
But turning abilities into skill books easily solves this major problem. How could Qi Jun not be happy about it?
Moreover, Qi Jun speculated that he could even use this as a base to gradually get in touch with a small group of more advanced individuals.
Like agents? Or military elites? Or scientists? Or even superhumans? Or magicians?
Huh?
Why does this feel a bit strange?
Why does this ability feel so much like copying?
That's right!
Turning abilities into skill books is essentially copying abilities from target memories.
Although it appears different, in the end, it's still copying, isn't it?
Hmm~~~
Copying seems weak!
What if he later copied Doctor Strange's abilities?
He still wouldn't be able to defeat Thanos at sunset, would he!!!
No!
The [Mutated Stone] definitely has more capabilities!
The [Mutated Stone] should be able to enhance the skill books further!
Right!
After turning abilities into skill books, they can still be enhanced!
With the power of the [Mutated Stone], as long as enough energy is provided, there's no need to worry about the enhancement failing and exploding.
What if a skill book is enhanced to +5, +10, +15, +20, or even +999? Wouldn't Thanos turn to dust with just a flick of a finger?
Once again, Qi Jun fell into his beautiful fantasy.
After a long time...
"Sigh~~~"
After coming to his senses, Qi Jun, seeing only nine energy points, let out a long sigh.
Fantasies are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
The stronger the abilities, the more energy points they require, and it's not impossible for the costs to rise exponentially!
Forget about Doctor Strange and the Ancient One. Even copying a random Inhuman's abilities would cause Qi Jun a headache due to the energy consumption.
So, after going round and round, it comes back to the unavoidable issue!
Infinity Stones!
How many energy points can one scavenge from corpses?
Even if there are enough corpses for Qi Jun to scavenge, could he handle it?
You know, once dead, life energy completely dissipates after an hour.
A corpse without life energy is completely useless and utterly disgusting to Qi Jun!
"Looks like I'm going to have to mess up the plot of 'Iron Man 2' myself!"
"Before planning for the Infinity Stones, the original Arc Reactor is enough to sustain for a while!"
Qi Jun muttered softly.
