But Blaine had completely forgotten about it—or rather, he simply hadn't paid attention to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had money, he finally remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hunter Suit hadn't been enhanced even once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what surprised Blaine was that enhancing the Hunter Suit was much more expensive—significantly more so than even the Elemental Bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enhancing it to +5 cost him a full ten million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, that was ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength and magic resistance boost shot up dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, that ten million was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That cost another ten million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, all the abilities and items he already owned had been fully enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total, he had spent thirty million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of over 120 million, he was now down to just over 90 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine didn't feel even a little regret. On the contrary, he wanted to keep spending!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the system shop—charge, charge, charge! Today, he was going to spend to his heart's content!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dual-Wield Revolvers]: Price 1,000,000. Infinite bullets, no need to reload. Can gain enchantment effects after enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Blaine was quite interested in both the Fire and Water abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after careful consideration…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine set his sights on one item and three skills he liked the most:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dual Revolvers]: Price 1,000,000. Infinite bullets, no need to reload. Can gain enchantment effects after enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gun Combat Technique]: Price **, a powerful ability that combines martial arts, firearms, and swordsmanship. So strong it reaches god-level existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mind Reading]: Price **, allows you to read others' thoughts. No level limit—your power determines whose thoughts you can read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the Dual-Wield Revolvers—no need to say more. Just two words: practical and cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only there were a Bow Combat Technique too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were Mind Reading and Shadow Stealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind Reading cost ten million, and he was already inclined to buy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as his strength increased, he could read the thoughts of stronger people. Totally worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, this was an all-purpose skill—useful whether against enemies or allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Shadow Stealth, it went without saying—it suited Blaine's identity as a Hunter perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One method was charging in head-on to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was silently slipping into shadows, rising from the shadow behind the target, delivering a deadly strike, and disappearing just as quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which one had more style?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which one was more effortless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which one sped up mission completion by several times?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which one was safer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Thanos came, he could hide in Thanos' shadow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the head's chopped off, is it still a living being?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right, the only real pity was that Shadow Stealth only allowed movement between shadows—it didn't mean you could pass through walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, if it allowed that, this skill definitely wouldn't be this cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*************************************\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can get access to early chapters on patr*on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like my work and you want to support me then you can become my patron on patre*n.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My patr*on account is Lord_Immortal_0170\u003C\u002Fp>",879,"2026-06-06T09:11:28.579Z",1,"novelbin.me","921630a4899af722469c753f6e9fedaf0166e87423a2d54849484c5d0798a0f5","marvel-hunter-chapter-44","marvel-hunter-chapter-42",411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-hunter-cover.jpg"]
