…
New York, Manhattan, Upper East Side, a detached apartment, at Zhao Hailun's doorstep.
Leon put down the still shaken Zhao Hailun. After she opened the door with her key, she turned to look at Leon: “Um… I’m sorry, Mr. Leon, your uniform got dirty because of me.”
“It’s fine, Hailun.”
“There’s one thing you must understand, and that is—in my eyes, nothing is more important than your safety.”
Leon’s face always held a highly infectious smile. He turned, making to fly away, but Zhao Hailun suddenly mustered her courage and called out to him.
“How about… you come in and sit for a bit? I’ll help you wash your uniform before you leave?”
Upon hearing this, Leon’s lips curled slightly. He turned to see Zhao Hailun pursing her slightly pale lips, her delicate hand trembling slightly on the doorknob, looking at Leon with a soft, pitiful gaze.
‘Hiss—’
Perhaps Zhao Hailun herself didn’t know how incredibly alluring she looked at that moment. Leon simply couldn’t refuse, so he naturally chose to agree.
…
Three hours later.
Leon lightly kissed Zhao Hailun’s forehead, who had already fainted from exhaustion, then carefully carried her from the bed into the Regeneration Cradle, which was a system sign-in reward, to repair the wound on her neck.
However, a small mistake occurred during this process.
Since Leon had no prior experience using the Regeneration Cradle, and the system also provided a can of human tissue fluid, he thought all he had to do was put the person in and activate it.
As luck would have it.
The Regeneration Cradle’s factory setting was to default to repairing all tissue damage in the human body. Emphasizing, it was all.
So, the Regeneration Cradle not only perfectly repaired the wound on Zhao Hailun’s neck but also replenished damage elsewhere on her body.
Upon learning of this, Arcee couldn’t help but suspect Leon was intentional.
Leon stated that he was truly wronged.
Who knew this Regeneration Cradle was so powerful, capable of repairing everything.
But.
Since things had come to this, the die was cast.
Leon could only be a bit gentler next time, and then make Zhao Hailun endure a little more.
The next morning.
When Leon woke up on the pink double bed in Zhao Hailun’s boudoir, Zhao Hailun had already left for work. He didn’t know if she was satisfied with the birthday night he spent with her.
【Question, do you want to perform today’s sign-in?】
‘System, I have early morning class!’
【Ding, today’s sign-in has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining ‘Tsunade’s Necklace’.】
“What the heck?!”
The system prompt startled Leon so much that his PTSD flared up.
Tsunade’s Necklace…
This thing can’t be worn; whoever gets it dies.
‘System, if you want me to die, just say so. There’s no need to beat around the bush like this.’
He grumbled to the system in his mind.
Leon summoned Tsunade’s Necklace from the system space, not daring to even touch it, and directly destroyed it with a palm cannon!
As long as I run fast, God of Death will always be one step behind me.
Nawaki: On this point, I have something to say.
…
Bin Hai Villa.
The second basement level of Leon's Wonderful House.
Out of a clear understanding of his own intelligence, Leon handed over the Vibranium, the Regeneration Cradle, and the long string of Regeneration Cradle instruction manuals provided by the system to Arcee for processing.
As for him,
He was only responsible for being handsome.
“Incredible!”
In front of the Regeneration Cradle, which resembled a futuristic coffin, Skids Mode Arcy, who had finished studying Vibranium and the Regeneration Cradle through quantum speed reading, exclaimed:
“This metal atom called ‘Vibranium’ can not only be compatible with tissue cells but also perfectly bond with them, forming a whole that is equivalent to being innate.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Leon, standing nearby, spread his hands and said, “Otherwise, why would I go to such great lengths to get it?”
“Could it be… you want to integrate Vibranium into your own body?” Arcee guessed, but immediately denied: “Impossible!”
“The Regeneration Cradle can only print living tissue from Zero; it doesn’t have the ability to decompose cell tissue. Moreover, your body tissue is too tough, making it even more impossible…”
Before Arcee could finish speaking, Leon shut her up with facts.
He demonstrated.
Leon displayed an extremely “revealing” ability to control his own cells—
The skin, muscles, and fascia on his palm receded like a tide, eventually leaving only a shiny silver Adamantium metacarpal bone.
This was an extension of Leon’s Super Self-Regeneration ability.
Even though it had only been passively used once by Leon when he first acquired it, and later, because Leon's body was too hard, conventional weapons couldn't break through his defenses, it hadn't been triggered a second time until now.
But as time went on, Leon's mastery of the Super Self-Regeneration ability continued to steadily improve.
And the ability to control the decomposition, reorganization, and transfer of his own cellular tissue was gradually acquired during this period.
Although it hadn't reached the extremely high precision of Muzan Kibutsuji, who could perfectly mimic a woman from the inside out.
However, simply controlling his own tissue to decompose into individual cells and then reorganize them was something Leon was fully capable of.
And this was already enough to achieve Leon’s current goal.
“How is that possible…”
Arcee’s mouth hung wide open in surprise, wide enough to fit a five-centimeter-diameter cucumber, and she even forgot to close it.
“My dear, I can do far more than you imagine.”
Clap, clap, clap!
Leon patted Skids Mode Arcy’s cheek, while curiously touching the texture inside the mechanical parts, but the gold titanium alloy was hard, and he ultimately abandoned the idea in his mind.
Perhaps the versatile Vibranium, which can be both hard and soft, could solve this problem.
However, there was no extra Vibranium for Leon to squander at the moment. He planned to give Arcee a thorough and complete upgrade once his control over his body improved further.
By then…
