The long-awaited X-day had arrived. Why X? The secret.
Just yesterday I bought up shares in what everyone thinks is already a dying company and finished my training. Now looking at my stats, I realise what I was wasting my time on. But still, raising net stats is something for the Chinese, not normal people. Well, I'll be arriving at the warehouse soon. I can take one last look and shed a manly tear.

I was especially frustrated by the waste of free points. When I was thinking about my future plan of action, I decided to increase intelligence to 30, hoping to get some plushies, but I not only did not feel any changes, but also after reaching the tenth level I was increased intelligence with intuition by 1.
In addition to my weapons, I also had a nice black suit waiting for me in the warehouse - it turns out Martin had one of those too. Of course, it would miss bullets, but it would withstand a stabbing. It looked like a wetsuit, so I put on black jeans and a sweatshirt over it. I also remembered to buy a mask. When I put it on the bottom of my face I felt like a ninja, only I lacked a katana, but I'll replace it with a pistol and a sniper rifle.
Since I was going to infiltrate in the evening, I was expecting a Shield cordon and other problems, but apparently Obadiah was considered not very dangerous and they sent a small group of agents after him, just like in the film. After sneaking past the guards and navigating by memorised maps, I was able to find the building neighbouring Sector 16. Climbing onto the roof, I just had to wait for the right moment.
About an hour later, a car with our lovely agents arrived and, led by Pepper and Coulson, they set off in a smooth formation to find Obadiah. How thoughtful. They didn't even leave one agent to watch the entrance. Well, I guess we can leave a couple of presents to test out his upgrades. Fifteen minutes later I see Pepper running out already alone, and soon the concrete starts to break up and our villain is trying to crawl out from under it. Thankfully, my gift bag doesn't get too far away, and with an accurate shot, praise be to my training, I hit the target and the half-crawled out Abadiah gets a good kicking from my grenades. I wonder if that did any damage to the hydraulics.
- Who's here? Who else have you brought in, Miss Potts? - shouting and looking round angrily at Stein.
Blimey! Looks like the suit's been well made, it's got no problem spinning! The 4 grenades only dented the panelling a bit. Fortunately, he was distracted from continuing my search by the appearance of Iron Man. Oh, they're off exploring the underworld again, so I'll just sit here in the cold and alone. Finally, I see our lovebirds fly into the sky. Stein's suit leaves such a trail of smoke that I can't tell if it's a poorly designed flight system or a tactical fix. It's just that if he flew over an enemy base a couple of times, you could shoot the film "The Darkness" on it.
A couple of minutes later Tony landed on a rooftop neatly close to his clean energy reactor. Stein flew in after him. After setting off fireworks and blowing smoke up the roof, Tony decided to play stealth, and I was glad I'd bought a thermal imager, or I'd have been sitting there hoping for the best. Pepper's heading back into the building, looks like it's about to start.
- Come on, Gulchatai, open your face.
***On the roof of the clean energy reactor.
- I've never done anything like this in my life, but I can tell you, I'm crazy about this toy. You've outdone yourself, Tony. Your father would be proud.
Bull's-eye. Is it just me, or was he making a speech in there? Whatever. We got to get out of here before Shield's backup arrives.
***Still reactor roof.
- Pepper, shut down the reactor.
- But what about Abadiah?
- He's dead.
- What, what?!
- Sniper did a good job, thank those agents.
20 minutes later.
- Mr Stark, are you all right?
- My whole body hurts, and my nose is the worst. But it would be a lot worse if it weren't for your men. Who's the hero who saved my life?
- Mr Stark, I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
- I'm talking about your sniper who took out Stein, where is he?
- All the shield agents were downstairs during your fight with Abadiah. Those weren't our men. Agents, spread out across the area! There's a third party!
- So who do I thank for saving my life?
Somewhere in a dark alley.
- Well, what did I get?
Zing!
Mission accomplished.
Due to the fact that you have exceeded the goal set for you by more than 10 times - the number of rewards has been increased.
Rewards: new playlist system feature, random playlist system enhancement, one-time ability ticket, permanent special ability ticket, and 50 S.O..
Now that's the kind of hard work that pays off. I'll have to check out the new feature and its improvements soon.
- Playlist. - As soon as I said that word - I saw a gigantic list of tracks, to which I saw no end. A couple of seconds later, a message appeared in front of me:
The system's "playlist" feature gives you access to all music tracks, and not just your world. After 3 seconds, a random enhancement will be selected.
3...2...1 Done! You have received a "telepathic radio".
Telepathic radio allows you to broadcast audio from your playlist into the heads of surrounding living beings. It has a range of 1,000 metres.
Awesome! Now using a permanent special ability ticket.
You have gained "lycanthropy" - your body can take on a hybrid form, your stats increase by 30%, and you gain enhancement to all six senses. At full moon you lose control over your body and will remain driven by only one bloodlust....error... the effect of blood madness is blocked by the maximum level of the skill "player's mind".
Phew, I was getting scared! And why doesn't it say there are abilities with negative effects? Now let's check out the one-time ability.
You get "teleportation": Your body can be transported anywhere in the world, the main thing is to imagine the place where you want to go or its coordinates. The transfer takes place within 1/10th of a second.
Best day of this life!!! I was able to get my music back! I got a cool ability! And I got a ticket to save my arse! Whoo! Now I guess I need to fix my shortcomings and spend those points, as they say "easy come, easy go". I think I'll put 20 points in intelligence and 21 in intuition. I want my own spider sense!
