Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - The Second Task (1/4)
"You mean, let me ask you again in the form of a task?"
Bruce Banner had lived so long and had seen such a strange request for the first time.
But because he wanted to ask Ethan, Banner had no choice but to comply with his request.
Ethan nodded, "Make sure that the content of the task is to stop you after you transform, prevent you from harming other people, or prevent your transformation."
"This is a long-term mission, and each transformation is considered a mission completed."
"Yes, that's it!" Banner nodded.
Ethan also nodded, "Then, it's time to talk about task compensation."
Banner was taken aback and didn't seem to anticipate this.
Ethan expressed dissatisfaction: "Don't you think I am doing charity!"
"No, no, what kind of compensation do you want?" Banner quickly shook his head.
"Let's do it! You work for me, and this is the reward for the task." Ethan thought for a moment and said, "Every time you stop yourself, you do something for me. How about that?"
"Do something for you?" Banner hesitated, worried that Ethan would ask him to continue his evil research.
After all, besides being the Hulk, Bruce Banner's value is mostly in his scientific research ability.
Ethan noticed Banner's scruples and explained, "I will not ask you to do things that violate your bottom line. You can rest assured of this."
Immediately, Banner breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's all there is to it, the deal!"
Seeing this, Ethan smiled and continued, "However, I won't follow you. You will show up when you need to."
"Don't worry, I have left a mark on you. As long as you are still on Earth, I can reach you instantly."
"Now, I'm leaving!"
After speaking, Ethan used the instantaneous technique to leave.
Leaving Banner alone on the top of the building, he couldn't help but grumble, "Hey...you could at least send me down the building!"
...
After leaving Banner, Ethan returned to his normal appearance.
He raised his foot and walked toward home.
Although he wasn't injured during the battle, he felt internal pressure.
Now, Ethan needed some time to relax and ease his mood.
There's nothing more soothing than sleeping in his own home.
However, on the way home, Ethan suddenly thought, how should he play other characters besides Minato Namikaze?
Communicating this question to the system, the system's reply sounded in his mind.
[Every time the host plays a character's progress to 50%, he will be able to get a chance to play a character.]
Fifty percent?
It doesn't seem too hard to achieve. After all, I have 15% progress initially, and I completed the last wish of my predecessor, which increased by 10%.
Perhaps after taking a few more tasks, I can smoothly reach 50%.
Ethan didn't think it would be difficult.
Back home, he ignored the curious stares, opened the door of the restaurant, and locked the doors and windows carefully.
The reason for being cautious was obvious due to the environment around here.
Next to the street where Ethan's restaurant is located is a block in Manhattan, the central city of New York. There are only eight blocks in total, but in the underground world, everyone doesn't know that it's a paradise of sin.
It has an exclusive name here—Hell's Kitchen!
"If you value your life, it's best to stay away from 'that hell place.'"
Older New Yorkers have mostly heard this sentence and know that "that hell place" refers to Hell's Kitchen.
Many ruthless people walked out of here, and the most famous is the uncrowned king of New York's underground—Golden Union!
Moreover, Hell's Kitchen has always been a lawless zone, and North American officials have turned a blind eye to it for various reasons.
This is also one of the reasons why this place became a paradise for criminals.
Next to the restaurant is Hell's Kitchen. Ethan's predecessor had long developed a habit of closing and locking the door when not open.
Ethan didn't want to expose his special abilities, so it was better to be cautious than careless.
After returning to his bedroom and lying on the bed, Ethan suddenly thought of something.
When drawing the prize pool for character roles before, there were three options: Naruto, DC, and Dragon Ball.
I have already drawn from the Naruto pool, which means the characters I'll play next will all be from the Naruto world?
After inquiring about the system and receiving confirmation, Ethan frowned.
Although the high-end powers of the Naruto world are very strong, they are obviously not enough to handle the Marvel world.
Just being Thanos is something that the average powerhouse from Naruto can't manage.
Even the Six Paths Sage would likely struggle.
Moreover, he may not even draw the Six Paths Sage.
But if it's from the DC or Dragon Ball worlds, it would be much easier.
There are many big bosses in the DC world who could match Marvel, and Dragon Ball is even more powerful.
Just being the universe overlord Frieza is enough to defeat Thanos.
Therefore, Ethan asked expectantly, "System, can the prize pool for character roles be changed or expanded?"
