Chapter 31: More important task
Of course, Bruce already knew who he was.
Nonetheless, It was Hawkeye who attacked Bruce first, so he wanted to scare him a bit.
Hawkeye looked at Bruce’s expression, and was relieved. “This guy is really too fierce…”
Then, Bruce pulled him up, and Hawkeye’s panel was presented to him once again.
——
[Name]: Clinton Francis Barton.
[Identity]: Hawkeye.
[Ability]: Super Wisdom (300mb), Marksman (500mb), Super Strength (500mb), Super Speed (500mb), Sensitive Inducing, Super Vision (500mb).
——
Previously, Bruce selected Hawkeye’s two super abilities: Super Speed and Marksman. Whereas this time, he was going for his Super Strength and Super Vision
In their previous fight, Hawkeye was physically stronger than Bruce, Bruce only managed to defeat him by luck.
In addition, Bruce’s real strength was beyond Hawkeye’s expectations, which made him unprepared. This was also one of his one-time advantages. In a real life-or-death fight, the winner was still uncertain.
As for Sensitive Inducing , although Bruce wanted to get it as well, he chose to let it go.
In the future, if Parker’s Superpowers were awakened, his Spider Telepathy would be much stronger than Hawkeye’s Sensitive Inducing.
Soon after, Bruce started the downloading process.
“Beep, connection established…”
“Beep, Super Strength (500mb) download initiated!”
“Beep, Super Vision (500mb) download initiated!”
“Beep, the current download speed is 1mb/s (valid within five meters)” For both abilities to be downloaded, he would need to stay near Hawkeye for the next 15 to 16 minutes.
At the moment, Hawkeye was intensely staring at Bruce, as if trying to see through him.
“This time I’ve come on Phil Coulson’s orders to give you a sort of ‘test’. As long as this task is completed, you will become a level 6 agent, and become eligible to obtain a more important task from S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Hawkeye said, while looking for some gauze for his shoulder.
More important tasks huh…
Bruce narrowed his eyes, as he didn’t understand what Hawkeye meant by that.
However, looking at Hawkeye’s serious attitude, Bruce knew that this task would not be easy.
“Well, thank you, Mr. Barton.” Bruce smiled.
Hawkeye nodded, while sincerely adding, “I am really old.”
“Just luck,” said Bruce.
He was very satisfied with Bruce’s answer. After all, typically, people tended to develop a big ego after they have become important.
“Alright then, I’ll be going first. See you around Bruce.”
Subsequently, the two separated.
Bruce nodded. Because at this time, the system sound rang again.
“Beep, download complete.“
“Beep, congratulations on obtaining the Super Strength ability!“
“Beep, congratulations on obtaining the Super Vision ability!“
In an instant, Bruce could feel that his body had improved by at least five or six times! With his current strength, he may even be able to lift a car!
When he threw his flying knives in the future, their destructive power would really be something to behold.
But the biggest improvement Bruce had, was in his eyes.
In addition to having night vision, he could even spot a mouse, hundreds of meters away from him.
With his newly obtained abilities, his current strength could even be said to be higher than Hawkeye’s strength.
Now, whether it be melee or ranged combat, Bruce had it all covered. His current situation could be considered as perfect.
Today’s harvest was really good.
Soon after, Bruce left the abandoned factory.
He would have to return to the Avengers base when his mission was over, so he might as well use that extra time to earn some money.
As for S.H.I.E.L.D. no matter what kind of task they gave him, he could only do his best.
But he was sure that there was a great relationship between him and the newly established Avengers Alliance.
Soon after, Bruce returned to the residence.
And another 500,000 USD was added to his account. Making that a total of two million USD!
After putting that money into the system, he opened his panel.
——
[Name]: Bruce.
[Identity]: Level 5 agent.
[Ability ]: Marksman , Anti-aging Gene , Super Speed , Super strength , Mind-control immunity, Self-healing , Strengthened Hands, Super vision , Pig Iron Body , Superb-level Fighting technique , Sabre Proficiency, Firearms Proficiency, Covert tracking .
[Balance]: 1 million USD .
——
With 2 million USD, he could now accelerate his download speed by two thousand times!
During the next few days, Bruce did nothing but relax.
In this way, four days passed by.
On this day, Bruce had no classes, so he took the day off. Then, he looked at the recent events around the country.
He needed to know when the New York War would begin, so that he could prepare in advance.
And while Bruce was looking for information, Parker had just gotten on the school bus that took him home.
At this time, he only felt dizzy, his whole body shaking with cold sweat running down his forehead.
“No! Was the spider poisonous? Am I about to die? No, I can’t die. I need to find Mr. Bruce. He can save me.”
Parker kept saying in a voice that only he could hear.
