Striving to Improve: "What's this bounty feature?"
Good Friends for Life: "Why does this chat group have so many functions? Mr. Alex Ray is incredible. How did he even invent this?"
Underwear That Never Wears Out: "Mr. Alex Ray is truly amazing. This is a revolutionary invention."
So Broke I Only Have Money Left: "Alex Ray, how did you create something like this in secret? I admit it's pretty powerful. I originally thought this was just a chat function—didn't expect so much more. This clearly isn't from our universe. Which one is it from? It's too advanced."
Underwear That Never Wears Out: "Since meeting Mr. Alex Ray, I've seen all kinds of miraculous things. He himself is a miracle."
Striving to Improve: "Master Alex Ray is omnipotent! Handsome, brilliant, and always inventing next-level tech. Who wouldn't be captivated by that?"
Lil' Jackass: "Told you my instincts were always spot on. Alex Ray belongs to someone else now."
Marvel's Most Gorgeous: "Wade, you're looking to die! Quick, mute him again!"
Alex Ray looked at the wave of compliments flooding the group chat window, and for once, a rare blush crept up his face.
He knew these praises weren't really for him—they were all thanks to the miraculous features provided by the system. After all, a man knows his own worth. He hadn't done anything deserving of such applause.
Still caught in this subtle emotion, he realized he didn't yet understand the full capabilities of the chat group.
Initially, he had assumed the system upgrade after absorbing the Mind Stone merely transformed the chat into a more functional platform. But clearly, he had underestimated it.
Alex began carefully studying the various features available. At first, he'd worried that the "friend points" used in bounty missions were somehow linked to his lottery system and feared the others might discover it.
But after getting familiar with the system, he set that concern aside.
Aside from the bounty feature, he found another function labeled Group Mall.
In the mall, users could spend friend points to purchase all kinds of items. While the current selection was limited—mostly small things like Senzu Beans, Bulk Knight Transformers, and Suppression Hairpins—he saw infinite potential.
What surprised him even more was that the system allowed group members to upload their own items for sale, enabling them to earn friend points. And as the group owner, Alex received a 3% commission on every transaction.
To test it, he uploaded a Flame-Flame Fruit, pricing it at a steep 2,000 friend points.
Looking at the price tag, he couldn't help but marvel at his own past luck in the lottery draws.
Of course, he had no intention of eating the Flame-Flame Fruit himself. He wasn't interested in it.
"Even dogs wouldn't eat this thing," he joked internally.
This chat group, he now realized, was far more than just a messaging tool. It was a platform to greatly enhance everyone's strength.
After all, the templates he could offer through the lottery were limited. But through this system, his companions now had their own avenue to grow stronger.
With this in mind, Alex decided to explain the group chat's features to everyone so they could use them effectively.
Budget Batman: "Has no one noticed the friend points? What do they even do? Mr. Alex Ray, can you explain?"
So Broke I Only Have Money Left: "Are you all blind? There's literally a mall section. Friend points are for redeeming stuff from the mall.
If you ask me, this whole thing is an online bounty platform Alex Ray built where you can post tasks and earn friend points to strengthen yourself.
I'm just not sure if we can post our own bounties."
As soon as Tony finished his analysis, the group went silent.
Everyone immediately rushed to check out the Group Mall.
Alex was tempted to clap back. Of course Daredevil wouldn't see it...
After a few seconds of stunned silence, the chat burst into life again.
Good Friends for Life: "Oh my god, there's a Kamen Rider transformation belt in here! Mr. Alex Ray really went all-out for us!"
Lil' Jackass: "That Slippery Fruit is perfect for me. No one else can have it!"
Marvel's Most Gorgeous: "I want that fruit. If you eat it, I'll string you up and beat you every single day!"
Malphite: "I seriously want the Slippery Fruit. Imagine combining it with my stone form. That'd be insane!"
So Broke I Only Have Money Left: "But there have to be other ways to earn friend points beyond bounty missions. Maybe I can give you two billion dollars in exchange for some. I really want that Flame-Flame Fruit."
Mayor of the Manhattan: "To be honest, you really spent big this time. There's a lot here that tempts me. Can these items be gifted to others?"
Seeing Wilson Fisk's question, Alex immediately knew what he was getting at—arming his subordinates. It made sense. Kingpin's crew was still relatively weak at this point.
Be My Family: "Sure, I have no problem with you exchanging anything you get here—whether for yourself or for someone else.
This group chat and mall are meant to help you grow stronger. Your subordinates are part of your strength.
You're also free to upload your own items and sell them for friend points.
But don't expect to convert this into cash—at least not from me. Just because you have money doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!
If you want to trade with others privately, that's your own business."
So Broke I Only Have Money Left: "I'm buying up all the friend points! I'm offering the highest prices!"
Live Less Than 50 Years Old: "Sorry, Osborne Industries isn't short on cash. If you're strapped, come to us."
Lil' Jackass: "Me! I'm broke! You can pay me in... body installments. Or if you need help with a mission, use your friend points to hire me. Cheap and efficient—buy one, get one free!"
Underwear That Never Wears Out: "About the bounties... why can Thor post quests directly? Where's he getting his friend points?"
Dr. Banner's question brought everyone crashing back to reality—they'd completely forgotten that Thor was getting pummeled right now.
