Chapter 81 Divine Artifacts and Attribute Points
Outside the hospital emergency room.
Li En hung up the phone.
He just called Baron and told him to come over as soon as possible.
Banner was walking down the hallway, from left to right and then from right to left.
He would scratch his head one moment and then rub his chin the next.
He knew that the police officer inside was injured by him and was currently receiving emergency treatment.
When I brought Frank in with Lee.
He saw the wounds all over his body, and the sunken chest.
He really didn't think this person had much hope of surviving.
Moreover, if one's own mutation does occur.
Having done things like killing soldiers and destroying the laboratory site, he shouldn't be here now.
They should stay in jail and await legal judgment.
But Li En is a police officer, and his comrade is receiving treatment, his fate unknown.
Betty's situation is also unclear, and now is not the time to plead guilty and go to jail.
Banner was overwhelmed by a series of thoughts, pacing anxiously, his gaze occasionally sweeping towards Lee En.
"You don't need to worry," Li En said, looking up at Banner.
"The military will definitely not cause you any trouble, at least not for now."
"Why?" Banner asked, somewhat confused.
He walked over and sat down next to Li En, his lips trembling slightly.
His hands were still unconsciously reaching for the ill-fitting pants he had bought casually on the street.
"Because essentially, your mutation is due to military experiments."
"If this gets out now, it will be a major blow to the military."
Li En calmly replied, "And to be honest, whether they even have a way to subdue you is a question in itself."
As he spoke, his gaze drifted off, recalling every moment of his battle with the Hulk.
The parry attribute is very powerful.
As long as your reflexes are quick enough, you can forcefully deflect even a Hulk's fist.
Even if the opponent uses a giant tree as a weapon, it can still be deflected.
But in this battle, he also discovered his own huge shortcomings.
The "steel body and iron back" attribute indeed granted him extremely strong impact defense capabilities.
But in essence, his physical condition did not change dramatically.
When Hulk uses his hand to create a large air shockwave that blows him away.
His arms, calves, and back were scratched and pierced by a large number of sharp stones and branches.
The term "steel body and iron back" only provides extremely strong defense against impacts; it does not significantly enhance the body's inherent strength.
There's also the Bio-Destroyer, whose entry states it can inflict fatal damage on mutated creatures and knows their weaknesses.
Indeed, in his eyes, Hulk was full of weaknesses, but he had no ability to hurt him.
Ultimately, it comes down to insufficient personal strength.
If the damage dealt is approximately zero, then no matter how powerful the enhancement of the attribute is, it will still be zero.
If it weren't for the extraordinary charm of the title that made the newborn Hulk develop feelings for him and gradually lose his anger.
They can only fight for a little while longer; they will inevitably lose.
A character panel popped up in front of Li En's eyes.
His gaze focused on the title bar, and he pulled up the entry for "Rookie Police Officer".
This was the weakest title he received as an experiment when he first entered the instance.
However, this title of "weakest" actually grants the purest numerical skill enhancement that I never received even in subsequent perfect playthroughs: Shooting +1, Driving +1.
Even though it was only a small addition, it greatly improved both shooting accuracy and the ease with which one could ride a motorcycle.
Unlike other titles, which are all rule-based abilities, this title actually enhances the skills he already possesses.
If the titles earned from perfect completions are like powerful artifacts and equipment, then this rookie police officer title is simply about allocating the most basic attribute points.
This is also what puzzled Li En.
In his view, even divine artifacts and equipment are not as useful as directly adding points to oneself to make the body stronger.
However, all the rewards for perfect completion never include any reward that strengthens oneself.
Does this mean I should deliberately aim for an imperfect playthrough next time?
It's worth trying.
"It's green! It's green!"
Banner stood up excitedly and pointed to the sign above the operating room.
The red light during surgery has turned green.
Li En also stood up and looked over.
The operating room door was pushed open, and a doctor in a white coat came out while taking off his gloves.
He stopped in front of Li En, his expression and tone unchanged, and said directly, "The patient, Frank Castle, has been saved, but all his bones are broken and his internal organs are severely damaged. He will need long-term treatment."
"Furthermore, even after being discharged from the hospital, one should not engage in strenuous exercise."
"It's very likely that I'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life."
"Even when you're in a wheelchair, you have to be careful, otherwise the wound could reopen at any time and cause death."
"Understood." Li En nodded.
His gaze swept past the doctor's shoulder and landed on Frank, who was being wheeled out by a nurse.
The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet; Frank's eyes were tightly closed, his face was covered by a ventilator, and his chest was rising and falling very weakly.
Lee En followed the nurse for a couple of steps, then turned to Banner and said, "Keep up."
Banner's lips trembled slightly as the corners of his mouth turned down.
His gaze followed Frank as he was pushed away, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Keep up!" Li En shouted again.
Banner then wiped his eyes and followed.
The two arrived at the ward.
Banner stood beside Frank's hospital bed, looking at the gaunt, tough-looking policeman, his voice trembling: "Did I really do this?"
Even now, he still refuses to believe it, or rather, he doesn't want to admit it.
He not only hurt others, but also killed someone with his own hands.
"That's right, it was you who did it." Li En walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder.
"This is indeed a mistake you made, and you have to bear the consequences accordingly."
"Letting you become a teacher at my school is an opportunity for you to make up for it."
"In the lab over there, I have a doctor named Connors who is researching a drug that can treat paralyzed patients."
"With your help, not only my police colleagues, but Frank also has the opportunity to get back on his feet."
"Really—is there a chance?" Banner looked at Frank.
Tears streamed down his face, dripping continuously.
I never intended to hurt anyone, much less kill anyone.
From a young age, he showed exceptional talent in science. During his high school years, he was taken to this university by the military to conduct research on secret experimental projects.
It's fair to say he's never even stepped into real society.
To harm or kill others.
This was too much for him.
"And your girlfriend Betty." Lee En let go of her hand, walked to the window, and observed the situation outside.
"I don't think the military has any way to wake her up."
"If the drug is successfully developed, it will definitely be able to awaken her."
"What if your research turns people into monsters?"
Banner held his head in his hands, his fingers digging deep into his hair, his voice muffled.
"First of all, I don't think what you transformed into was a monster; it was just a mutation."
Lee En saw a black SUV parked in the hospital parking lot, then turned around and spoke to Banner.
"Secondly, it's precisely to prevent this from happening again."
"Your experience of failure makes you even more important; you need to find ways to make up for your mistakes."
Banner turned his head and looked at Lee.
After a moment, he nodded seriously.
A short while later, the door to the ward was pushed open.
"Boss Li En, I booked a private jet and came straight here! What's the situation now?"
Barron burst in, all flustered.
He spotted Frank lying on the hospital bed at a glance, immediately ran over, and examined him carefully.
"It's good that he's not dead."
Li En didn't respond to him, but instead said towards the door, "Since you're here, come in."
Upon hearing this, Barron, though still facing Frank, silently reached down to his waist and gripped the pistol.
This action was clearly seen by Banner, who was sitting opposite him.
Banner looked around nervously, and instinctively reached out and grabbed a vase on the table next to him.
Baron lowered his voice and said to him, "Bro, are you serious?"
Banner awkwardly loosened the vase, looking somewhat flustered.
"Don't worry, Boss Li En is here." Barron said this, but his body remained tense, his hands gripping the gun handle tightly.
"I really didn't expect to see you again so soon."
Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. walked in.
He first glanced at Frank on the hospital bed, then his gaze fell on Bruce Banner, before finally walking up to Lee and giving him a smile.
"Can I have a cup of coffee now?"
"Order takeout." Li En glanced at the open door again.
"Don't worry, those two are here to help protect Frank."
Knowing that Lee had spotted the two agents standing at the door, Coulson offered to explain.
Li En neither confirmed nor denied it.
He only caught a glimpse of the two people at the door; they didn't look familiar.
In other words, it is very likely that they are from Hydra.
In his memory, apart from Director Nick Fury, the man in front of him Coulson, Melinda who had appeared that day, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. were all Hydra agents.
He walked to the table next to him and sat down.
"Let's talk then, Barron, and could you please buy two coffees?"
"Okay." Barron straightened up and asked Banner, who looked nervous, "Would you like a drink too?"
"Okay, thank you."
As Barron got up, he pulled a miniature device from his trouser leg and quietly tossed it under Frank's bed before turning and leaving.
As he stepped out the door, he saw two blond men in suits standing on either side of him, their sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
He left the hospital without changing his expression, took out his laptop from his backpack, and quickly opened it.
"Boss, can you hear me?"
Knock, knock.
The sound of two fingers tapping on the table came clearly through the headset.
This was Lee En's code, indicating that he had heard it.
"There were two people in the corridor, five people in the main hall, and I didn't go through the back door, but there were definitely people there too."
Barron quickly reported the number of men in suits and other suspicious individuals he had identified to Lee En.
Knock, knock.
Barron closed his laptop, then turned around and actually went to the coffee shop across the street to buy coffee.
Lee En did not give any indication of emergency or danger, so Baron merely investigated the situation.
In the hospital room, Coulson pulled out a tablet.
This type of tablet computer is truly unique and has never been seen on the market before.
He clicked a few times, opened a video, and showed it to Li En.
The video shows Lee rushing to the scene, using his vibranium dagger to parry Hulk's attack and save Frank from being punched.
"Officer Li En, may I ask where you obtained this vibranium dagger?"
"A short sword? What short sword?" Li En asked.
Coulson gave a helpless twitch of his lips, pointed to the silver dagger in Li En's hand in the paused footage, and said again, "This is a short sword made of vibranium. Vibranium is a substance that has never been circulated in the world."
"Its texture and characteristics are extremely unique, and even under surveillance footage, I would never mistake it."
He put the tablet away and stared directly at Lee Eun.
"I never received any short sword."
Li En spoke fluently and without changing his expression.
"However, I once obtained a dagger while traveling in Africa, the one used in the picture."
Coulson's brow twitched.
After meeting Li En last time, he went back and went through all of Li En's information.
Let alone traveling to Africa, Lee En has only left New York a handful of times.
Coulson sighed helplessly.
He glanced at Banner, who was fidgeting beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
"Of course it's alright, he's a teacher at my school, a humble and peaceful person," Li En replied casually.
Coulson's brow twitched twice more.
In the video, that big green guy has absolutely nothing to do with the words "humility" and "peacefulness".
He took a deep breath and finally understood completely.
The young police officer in front of me actually knows everything; he knows far more than I imagined.
There's no point in going around in circles with him.
Coulson laid his cards on the table: "I know what you're doing in the school's labs."
