On a beach in New York near the Atlantic Ocean, people were everywhere, sunbathing and playing, looking like dense swarms of ants.
Noah stepped over piles of people sleeping on blankets on the sand and walked towards the sea; he was only wearing beach shorts and a short shirt, with the buttons undone, revealing his perfectly enhanced physique, which garnered a 100%Return Rate.
"I don't understand why U.S. people like sunbathing so much." Noah stood by the sea, gazing at the Atlantic Ocean; the deep-sea nation of Talokan was located somewhere on the ocean floor, but he didn't know the exact location.
"Hey, handsome, could you help us apply some sunscreen?" Just as Noah was gazing out at the sea, lost in thought, a charming female voice came from behind him.
Noah turned around to see a beautiful woman with long, wavy blonde hair and a bikini swimsuit calling out to him; her fair skin glistened in the sunlight; she held a bottle of sunscreen and shook it at Noah, and beside her was another beautiful woman with blue hair, also in great shape, who seemed to be her companion, looking at Noah with her watery eyes, and when she saw him look over, she even winked and blew him a kiss.
'Is this a pickup line? This is the first time in my two lives I've experienced something like this. No wonder, I'm just too handsome.' Noah thought shamelessly to himself. Noah was already very handsome, and with the enhancement from the Summoner's hero panel and the Resolve Rune, his physique was also perfect. So, standing there, Noah stood out like a sore thumb, remarkably handsome. People around him even thought he was a celebrity filming a movie there.
However, Noah suddenly remembered that he hadn't been in love in either of his two lives. Damn it, he didn't have time in his last life, but he definitely had to experience love properly in the future. Noah pondered his future life, but for now, he still had things to do and no time to flirt; making money was more important.
"Excuse me, big sister, I have something to do later and can't help you with sunscreen. Besides, I'm only 16, and what you're doing is illegal." Noah smiled at the two women.
"Huh? You're only 16? I don't believe it. How can a 16-year-old be so handsome and muscular?" The blonde woman said, reaching out to touch Noah's abs. Noah raised an eyebrow. How could she just reach out like that? U.S. people are so open. Noah, thinking quickly, shouted directly behind them.
"Look! Iron Man!"
"Ah! Iron Man, over there!" At Noah's shout, the blonde woman and her companion excitedly looked behind them. Many people nearby also heard Noah's shout and looked back, but when they looked, there was no Iron Man.
"Who the hell is shouting nonsense!" "Who's making so much noise!" "…"
Feeling tricked, everyone cursed under their breath.
And when the blonde woman turned back, Noah was nowhere to be seen. Feeling deceived and rejected, she angrily kicked the sand beside her feet.
On the other side of the beach, next to a large reef, Noah's figure emerged from within the reef. He had just used Ghost Step when everyone looked behind them, passing through the crowd and leaving the scene to arrive at this reef.
"Noah, it seems your image is very popular among humans." Lissandra said.
"Of course, I'm a very handsome guy." Noah said, not boasting or downplaying, after his body was enhanced, Noah's appearance and temperament had greatly improved.
"Lissandra, when it's time to create your body, I'll sculpt your face, giving you the face of an unparalleled beauty." Noah said, he wanted to sculpt Lissandra's appearance into that of the hero Lissandra from League of Legends.
"Okay, Noah, I'll be looking forward to it." Lissandra said, although she could change her face at will, if Noah liked it, she would be willing to accept it.
Noah touched the watch on his wrist. This watch was Lissandra; she had transformed into this form using nanotechnology, making it convenient for Noah not to attract attention in a crowd. Otherwise, carrying a high-tech item floating around would be too eye-catching.
"Vibranium is at the bottom of this ocean, but I don't know the exact location. What should I do? I wonder if I can use the task system to specify a Vibranium search task. Let's try it first." If Noah had to find the Vibranium ore vein in the entire ocean by himself, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. In Black Panther 2, a genius Black girl invented an instrument to detect Vibranium, but Noah didn't know where this person was. However, Noah thought of the system. If he could specify a task to find Vibranium, wouldn't the task guidance lead him to the Vibranium?
Thinking of this, Noah opened the system and then tried to specify the task of finding Vibranium. A loading circle spun on the system interface, and then a task message appeared in Noah's surprised eyes.
A-Level Task - Obtain Vibranium Ore: Seize the Vibranium ore from the underwater kingdom of Talokan.
"It really works, and it's an A-Level Task! This is the first time I've gotten such a high-level task." Since Noah obtained the system, his task list had only contained B-level and C-level tasks. This was his first time receiving an A-Level Task.
"A-Level Task, from the name, does it mean I have to fight the entire Talokan?" Noah stroked his chin, pondering. If he had to fight the entire Talokan, the difficulty would still be very high, after all, they were a powerful nation with Vibranium, even if their performance in the movie wasn't great.
Moreover, this task was underwater, and Noah didn't know if his battle armor could be used in the sea. This task still made Noah feel a bit challenged.
"Even if I don't fight Talokan and choose to secretly mine, that would still require time to prepare. I wonder if this task has a time limit." Noah thought, and he suddenly realized something: he didn't know if tasks had a completion time limit setting, as he had always accepted and completed previous tasks immediately, never delaying them until the next day.
"System, do the tasks you give have a time limit? Can I accept this task today and complete it later?" After thinking about these things, Noah asked the system.
Summoner, system tasks do not have a time limit, nor do they have an acceptance limit. If you accept a task today and do not complete it, it will not affect your ability to accept the daily tasks refreshed on the next day.
"Since that's the case, then I'll confidently accept this task and then prepare well for this A-Level Task." Noah felt he needed to prepare for battle, after all, the opponent was a nation, and they also had Vibranium. He didn't know if he could win against them right now, but he still had to try first. Thinking of this, Noah clicked to accept the task.
Accepted A-Level Task - Obtain Vibranium Ore. Since this is the Summoner's first A-Level difficulty task, the system will provide some assistance... System is assessing task difficulty... Assessment complete... Creating suitable task assistance tools for the Summoner...
"Ah? What's going on?" Noah was a little surprised to see the information displayed by the system. What was happening? Noah didn't expect the system to pop up these prompts after accepting an A-Level Task.
"System assistance for tasks? What tools will it give me?" After the system displayed those few lines of text, Noah waited for the system to finish loading. He was also very curious about what task assistance tools the system would give him.
Detected Summoner backpack item: Random Hero Experience Card (One Day), currently transforming item... Transformation successful, Random Hero Experience Card (One Day) has been transformed into River King · Tahm Kench Experience Card (lasts until task completion).
"Tahm Kench!?" Noah exclaimed upon seeing the system prompt.
Tahm Kench is a tanky support hero in League of Legends. In his lore, Tahm Kench is one of the powerful and mysterious ancient demons, possessing demigod-like strength.
"So, I have to complete this task in Tahm Kench's form?" Noah held the experience card, looking at Tahm Kench's image on the card.
Originally, Noah had planned to go back and prepare after accepting this task, and then go to the bottom of the sea to get some Vibranium when he was capable of fighting Talokan. However, he didn't expect the system to provide such assistance, and Noah felt he could complete this task today.
"Lissandra, you can change back first." Noah was preparing to transform into Tahm Kench, so he wanted Lissandra to change back first. Otherwise, if he transformed into the bulky Tahm Kench, Noah was afraid he might crush Lissandra.
"Okay, Noah, what happened?" After continuously changing, Lissandra transformed back into a spherical robot.
"Nothing major, I'm going to transform into another form and then go down to the sea to get Vibranium." Noah said to Lissandra with a smile.
"I wonder how strong Tahm Kench's power is. I'm a little excited." After getting ready, Noah held the experience card, preparing to start the task.
