Chapter 26: Make Full Use of Resources
"Should I try to manifest this Japanese man's abilities?"
Qi Jun squinted his eyes and pulled out a portable notebook.
Indeed, this small portable notebook was also 'borrowed' from the group that was most likely mercenaries.
Assuming there won't be a fight soon, Qi Jun jogged to the trading site. After all, he still had some distance limitations when using the [Mutated Stone].
Qi Jun wasn't sure if this man was a real ninja, but to test his abilities, he used a vague description to manifest his combat capabilities broadly.
Yes, just the combat abilities. Qi Jun didn't want to imprint this man's other memories. What if he ended up betraying his people by accident?
Not only betraying his people, but what if he got brainwashed by those imprinted memories and became a brain-dead follower of the Hand?
After preparing, Qi Jun willed it, and the [Mutated Stone] emitted an invisible force, scanning the Japanese man named Mr. Sasaki.
Then, it sent back a message to Qi Jun.
But the information returned stunned Qi Jun.
Manifesting Mr. Sasaki's combat capabilities only required 20 points of energy.
"What the hell?"
"Is this guy not a ninja?"
Qi Jun looked at Mr. Sasaki incredulously.
In Qi Jun's view, being able to endure a Caucasian leader's large palm strikes without a change in expression and causing him intense pain with a light shoulder pat, his strength shouldn't be low!
Qi Jun thought copying such a person's combat abilities would require at least 100 points of energy to be fitting!
But Qi Jun never expected it to need only a mere 20 points?
Although Qi Jun also didn't have 20 points of energy at the moment and couldn't manifest his combat abilities, this was just a test to see how strong Mr. Sasaki was, wasn't it?
Originally, according to Qi Jun's guess, if Mr. Sasaki from the Hand were truly a ninja or a superhuman beyond ordinary people, then Qi Jun would not be able to manifest it.
According to Qi Jun's original plan, although this would prevent him from manifesting, he was ready to implant a global biological tracking chip in Mr. Sasaki's body to locate the Hand's hideout and 'rob' them when he was stronger.
However, these mere 20 points of energy condition made Qi Jun hesitate.
Just firearm abilities are worth 10 points of energy, and
Big Daddy and Hit-Girl are merely trained ordinary people.
Even if Mr. Sasaki's strength was stronger than Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, how much stronger could it be? His combat abilities were only worth 20 points of energy, after all!
However, Mr. Sasaki's actions in hitting the Caucasian leader and the leader's reaction didn't seem fake.
Could there be some unique technique involved, like hitting pressure points?
If that were the case, this guy might not be worth manifesting abilities for, after all.
Even with such a level of combat power, one might only be a minor leader or, at best, a mid-level leader within the Hand. It's utterly impossible to locate the Hand's hidden headquarters through him.
.............
It's not strange for Qi Jun to think this way. After all, this is a world capable of interstellar travel, where enemies are more often aliens. You can't expect a technique that effectively attacks humans to work on aliens, right? Who are you going to target? Ego, whose true form is a planet? Tivan, the cosmic elder collector? The cosmic elder Grandmaster at the amusement park? Or Thanos, the purple potato?
Forget about aliens. Try targeting the Hulk and see if he doesn't slap you into foam!
Disappointed, Qi Jun tucked the palm-sized notebook into his pocket and shook his head as he returned to Domino's hiding container.
Qi Jun decided to observe a bit more before acting. If it's not worth much, then forget it.
Qi Jun thought the ninjas of the Hand could be a little weak. Otherwise, the Hand wouldn't need to fear a 'mere human' like Danny Rand. Even if Danny Rand had many capital forces behind him, if Madame Gao and the other four Kun-Lun traitors were truly strong, why would they care about a mere Danny Rand or act according to the whims of capital?
Of course, if these guys had no value alive, their recovery value wasn't low either! Counting just the members of Danny Rand's group and the Hand, there were nearly two hundred people. There were dozens of well-equipped, almost fully armed 'suspected mercenaries' in the dark!
With so many people, even if only half were to lose their lives here, for Qi Jun, it was a hundred percent profit! This is literally 'robbing money'!
.............
When Qi Jun saw that these guys were dealing in 'laundry detergent,' he had no intention of letting them go. Because Qi Jun was very aware of how harmful laundry detergent could be! So be it if he didn't know or even had no power. But now, with the Infinity Stone in hand, he had a gun expertise that ordinary people couldn't possess. With Qi Jun's principles, if he could intervene, he would never allow 'laundry detergent' to be traded before his eyes without doing anything.
Of course, Qi Jun wouldn't foolishly go in alone. As a higher life form with intelligence, those who don't utilize the tools at hand, or even those within reach, are fools!
Is Qi Jun a fool? Not! Qi Jun demonstrated what it means to make full use of everything! Qi Jun directly used the team of 'suspected mercenaries' and all the detonators and explosives they brought to encircle the entire dock! Anyone involved in this transaction, none shall escape!
