The young man Li Yue transmigrated into and possessed was also named Li Yue in Chinese, and his English name was Carl Li.
Carl Li was a mixed-race individual who graduated from Columbia University and came from a very wealthy family. His father was Chinese-American, and his mother was a native American. After their marriage, they started a company, and within just over ten years, the company's market value reached several billion US dollars.
It could be said that the owner of this body was a rich second generation.
Unfortunately, a month ago, the body's parents were involved in a car accident while on vacation and were killed instantly.
Carl Li had to accept all of this and attended his parents' funeral.
At the same time, he also took over his parents' company.
However, the company's shareholders acted even faster than Carl Li. Within just one week, they used various normal and abnormal means to devalue Carl's shares, reducing his 30% stake to 10%. Furthermore, they kicked him out of the company's management.
The company changed hands from then on.
Carl Li was severely impacted and, disheartened, returned home, where he indulged in a life of debauchery, drinking, marijuana, drugs...
Until yesterday, a drunk Carl Li went to his parents' gravesite, weeping uncontrollably. In a moment of despair, he bought a large amount of potent drugs and sleeping pills from a drug dealer and died from an overdose.
Then, Li Yue, who had transmigrated, took over this body.
...
"Sigh!"
Looking at this information, Li Yue shook his head.
"He couldn't live on like this? His psychological resilience is simply too poor. Think of me, a patient with late-stage cancer, didn't I still want to live? Better to live a miserable life than die!"
"Right, you said this body was addicted to drugs, will I be addicted too?" Li Yue asked worriedly in his mind.
"No, because when the system descended, it cleared all disadvantages. Host, please rest assured."
The system's mechanical voice echoed in his mind, gradually calming Li Yue down.
"Alright, since I've inherited everything from this person, then I will live a good life!"
Pausing, Li Yue continued, "But system, as I said before, this place is too dangerous and doesn't seem suitable for an ordinary person like me. To complete the mission, the probability is too low for me as I am now!"
"Before the system transmigrated, in order to save energy, it only searched for this one world, and a plan error occurred. Therefore, to compensate the host, it specifically consumed five hundred energy points to enable one lottery draw."
"Host, would you like to draw?"
"Draw? What kind of things are there?" Li Yue asked.
"They are items that the system has materialized and are most suitable for the host's current situation. However, the host can only randomly select one!"
"Alright, draw!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge spinning wheel appeared in Li Yue's mind.
The wheel was divided into five major sections, and each section had an item.
The section the pointer landed on would be the prize obtained.
"Psychic Power, Gene Evolution Fluid, Liquid Robot, Illusion Control, Book of Mages!"
"Holy crap, these things..." Li Yue looked at these things and was speechless.
Superpowers, science fiction, magic, etc., were all things that usually only existed in fantasies.
But why were there no martial arts or cultivation techniques?
Li Yue thought to himself, after all, as a Chinese person, the feeling for martial arts in his heart was too special.
"System, why are there no martial arts or martial arts techniques, like the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or the Yi Jin Jing? According to your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to materialize these things!" Li Yue asked.
"Host, these things can indeed be materialized, but they do not fit the host's current situation."
"Why?" Li Yue raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Every world has its own rules. The Marvel world is a hybrid world of superpowers, technology, and magic. For martial arts and cultivation items, the rule obstruction is too great. Therefore, even if the host cultivates internal energy or immortal techniques, it will be twice the effort for half the result, achieving little even after decades. This is a rule constraint between different dimensions and different worlds!"
"Rule constraints, huh?... I think I understand! By the same logic, if I went to a martial arts world, like the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world, then the power of superpower and technology items would be greatly reduced and become incredibly pathetic?" Li Yue asked.
"Yes, Host! Different worlds have different rules. We cannot change the rules at the moment, we can only adapt to them!"
"Cannot change at the moment... Heh, your words are very interesting, I understand." Li Yue smiled and stopped talking, beginning to carefully observe the items in his mind.
After a moment, the system's voice sounded again.
"Host, these are some of the items most suitable for you at the moment. Because there are too many, they can only be obtained through a lottery draw. As long as the host draws one, the system can consume source energy to materialize it. Start drawing?"
"Start!"
As Li Yue spoke, the spinning wheel instantly rotated at high speed, making it impossible to see the text on it.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Li Yue shouted loudly.
Instantly, the spinning wheel stopped.
"Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the superpower, Illusion Control. Receive?"
"Damn it, why this thing? What about Psychic Power? What about the Gene Evolution Fluid? If worst comes to worst, give me a liquid robot as a bodyguard!"
Feeling depressed, Li Yue was a bit disappointed. After all, this Illusion Control didn't look like a good thing at first glance!
"Host, there is nothing that is bad; what is bad is only the person."
"Receive?"
"Alright! Receive!" Li Yue's heart stirred, and he responded in his mind.
The next moment, he felt as if his brain was being cut by countless knives and swords, constantly churning. That feeling was simply worse than death.
"Ah!"
He fell to the ground, clutching his head, howling madly, veins popping out on his neck.
He didn't know how long it took, but the painful feeling slowly dissipated. Finally, Li Yue felt a trace of cool energy flowing in his mind, and his entire spirit felt incredibly comfortable at this moment.
That feeling was as if his whole being had been sublimated, and his mind was incredibly clear.
Along with this coolness came a lot of information introducing Illusion Control, some application methods, and ways to enhance it.
"Phew, so that's how it is!"
"Illusion Control, forming a thousand-meter range illusion domain with mental power. Within this domain, any existence with mental power not higher than my own cannot resist my illusions!"
Li Yue stood up, sweating profusely from the pain.
However, feeling the changes in himself, he felt it was all worth it.
With a thought, he felt that everything within a thousand meters was under his mental coverage. This was his illusion domain. Within this range, as long as he wanted to, he could create mental illusions for any creature, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.
That feeling was very wonderful.
"There are no weak abilities, only weak people. If this Illusion Control is used well, it is no worse than things like telekinesis, only stronger! Of course, it also has flaws, which is that its effect is weakened against people with strong will and strong minds. However, such people are ultimately a minority."
"I just don't know how strong I am right now?"
And just as Li Yue was happy, the system's mechanical voice sounded in his mind again.
"Host, you can open your personal information to view your attributes! Open?"
"Oh?" Li Yue nodded, "Personal information, okay, open!"
"Host: Li Yue Age: Twenty-one years old Strength: 12 (10) Speed: 11 (10) Constitution: 10 (10) Spirit: 140 (10) Special Ability: Illusion Control (Forms an illusion domain. Within the domain, mental illusions can be created, controlling the target's mind and five senses. The specific strength varies with the host's mental power; the stronger the spirit, the stronger the ability) Overall Evaluation: Tier 2 Note: The average quality of ordinary people is 10 points. Note: Overall evaluation is a person's strength level evaluation, specifically divided into Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, Tier 5, Legend, Myth... Note: Tier 1 strength is equivalent to a top special forces soldier, Tier 2 is several to dozens of times that of Tier 1, Tier 3 is several to dozens of times that of Tier 2, and so on! The difference in level is the difference in strength!)"
"Specializes in mental abilities, huh?"
Li Yue looked at it, nodded, and understood his current abilities. Overall, it was similar to Professor X's telepathy, except his Illusion Control only masked and confused the mind, while Professor X's ability could directly imprison, modify, or even destroy the mind, which was very overbearing.
There was an essential difference between the two.
He carefully looked at his information and the level descriptions above, and Li Yue didn't say anything, just studying it.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.
"Host, the system's current source energy is only twenty units left, which can only maintain daily operation for several months. Please complete the mission as soon as possible to steal world source energy and replenish the system's energy!"
Li Yue heard the system's voice, nodded, and said, "I will, but there must be a way to steal the source. How should I do it?"
"World source energy is the foundation of a world, Host. To steal world source energy, you must change the direction of the world's destiny, which means changing the destiny of some important or secondary characters or forces in this world, such as changing, saving, killing, and so on!"
"Thus, the world's direction changes, and the source energy will fluctuate. At that time, the system can steal a certain unit of source energy, specifically depending on the strength of the world source energy fluctuation!"
...
After listening carefully to the system's narration, Li Yue nodded.
In that case...
"As long as I kill those superheroes, or those who are about to become superheroes, wouldn't that greatly change the plot, or the direction of the world? Or... destroy Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D., etc.?"
"Yes, Host. However, I do not recommend the Host do this. After all, the people the Host mentioned are the focus of the world's source energy. If they die, the world's source energy will quickly lock onto the Host, and even the system cannot temporarily shield it! At that time, the Host will either die or be rejected by this world and banished into the endless void."
"Moreover, the Host currently does not possess such overwhelming strength."
"Therefore, before the Host and the system itself become stronger, this method is not feasible! And for specific safe methods of acquisition, the system will issue missions for the Host to undertake!"
Li Yue listened and nodded, "So you're saying it's not that I can't kill them, but that I can't kill them now. But later, when I'm strong enough, I can kill them, right?"
"Yes, when the system is strong, the world's source energy will not be able to lock onto the Host and discover us, and the Host can carry out missions at will!"
"Understood."
Li Yue nodded. He finally understood everything from beginning to end.
Nothing more than this: to obtain world source energy, one must change the plot, which is the direction of the world. Once the plot is wrong, the world source energy will riot, and that is when the system steals the source energy.
"It seems I am destined to be a villain. I originally wanted to try being some kind of superhero. What a pity!"
