Chapter 197 - Chapter 193: The Scatterbrain and the Grump

[Character Background: She was once a weak girl from Zaun named 'Powder.' After experiencing a series of tragedies, betrayals, and the break with her closest kin, she was consumed by inner trauma and self-destructive tendencies, becoming the 'Jinx' who caused countless panics in the twin cities. She is a neurotic, moody criminal genius, her mind constantly accompanied by lingering auditory hallucinations and graffiti-like visions.]

[Abilities:]

[Passive: Sinister Joy]

[Description: When she successfully destroys or kills a unit or causes massive destruction, she enters an extremely excited state of frenzy. Her movement speed, attack rhythm, and the effects of 'Shimmer Body' are significantly enhanced.]

[(Note: This effect can stack; the more chaotic the battlefield, the crazier she becomes.)]

[Passive: Shimmer Body]

[Description: She has been injected with a massive amount of Shimmer, giving her purplish-red eyes, physical strength and recovery far exceeding normal humans, and short bursts of instantaneous attribute surges. However, the cost is that her already precarious mental state slides further toward the brink of collapse.]

[Active: Miracle of Zaun]

[Description: She can use anything at hand to improvise numerous weapons of various shapes, functions, and devastating lethality—from rapid-fire machine guns and explosive Rockets to bizarre Flame Chomper bombs, all at her fingertips.]

[(Note: The quality of improvised creations varies; some function perfectly or even exceed expectations, while others may misfire or self-destruct at any time.)]

Looking only at the upper limit of her stats, Jinx's panel as a C-Class Avatar was actually quite good—5, 4, 5, 5, 1, 5. But Su Modie knew perfectly well, and the skills mentioned it too, that it was just an instantaneous burst under drug stimulation that couldn't be maintained for more than a few seconds.

It was completely different from Reze's Bomb Devil form or Annie's Female Titan form.

Jinx simply couldn't sustain high-intensity combat for long.

Unless...

She could stack 'Sinister Joy'

Of course, that was very difficult. She couldn't stop in the middle and had to kill her way into a frenzy.

Relying only on Jinx's guns and cannons to achieve such an effect in the Marvel Universe was almost impossible. She would need a large number of weak enough, but numerous enough, minions to stack her passive, and no one could interfere with her.

In other words, her real stats were actually only 5, 2, 3, 2, 1, 5.

Not only was she fragile, but the weapons she built were unstable.

Most fatally, she was a psychopath who could go crazy at any moment and had severe self-destructive tendencies.

After a comprehensive evaluation, she really could only be considered a C-Class Avatar, and not even a particularly powerful one among the C-Classes.

In terms of stability in actual combat, she wasn't even as useful as Annie.

However, there are no weak heroes, only weak summoners.

Su Modie didn't look down on her; instead, the more she looked, the more she liked her.

After all, Jinx was quite cute, especially that sense of brokenness that almost overflowed from her; it really hit the spot.

Loose-haired Jinx is so cute.

She really wanted to bully her into tears, wait until her eyes were watery to gently coax her, and then continue to pin her to the ground and bully her until she cried again. Thinking of this, Su Modie couldn't help but curl her lips into a pleasant and wicked smile.

God bless, she finally pulled an incarnation that she, Su Modie, could bully at will!

Heaven knows how much grievance she had suffered during this period.

That nest of Villainesses at home were all stat monsters. Bullying Miss Su, a citizen of New York, was like pinching a chick; she had no power to fight back at all.

Even Isane, that upright-looking level 50, was the same.

In the first few days after being summoned, she was quite shy, calling her 'My Lord' with such respect and trepidation. But now that they were familiar, this girl saw through Su Modie's essence as just a hachimi, and her courage had grown fat.

Now, whenever she sat down to watch TV, she even dared to casually scoop Su Modie into her arms and hold her on her lap while watching!

How BOLD!

She, Su Modie, was the dignified big boss of New York and her Lord, not some pet.

How could she just let someone pick her up and start petting her?

Although her technique was good... and she had a pair of big, soft cushions... this still wouldn't do!

Where was Su Modie's dignity?!

Shaking her head vigorously, Su Modie cleared her throat and returned to the main topic.

In short, although Jinx's intelligence was as high as 5 points, this girl's mental state was truly unstable.

Fisk's Inventory.

"My Lord Jinx," Fisk bowed his head respectfully, "these are the helpers I mentioned to you."

Although Fisk didn't know the specific relationship between this blue-haired delinquent girl and Miss Makima, he could guess with his toes that any woman by that Lord's side would definitely not be easy to deal with.

His three hundred pounds of flesh were nothing in front of her; how could he dare put on any airs as mayor?

However, to his surprise, Jinx only gave Toomes and the others a cold glance. Her slender brows furrowed sharply, and her words were laced with hostility: "I don't need helpers. These pieces of junk—I can handle it alone."

"Send them back to wherever you picked them up from. Don't bother me."

As soon as these words came out, Toomes and the other two were completely stunned.

What did she mean? Was dragging them here in the middle of the night really just to make fools of them?

The dignified Mayor of New York City had spent so much effort threatening and bribing them to sign the contract, and now this blonde girl's casual remark was going to make them pack up and leave?

"You little brat..."

Beside them, Mason, who was already a tech nerd proud of his talent, couldn't hold back on the spot. His chest heaved violently as he prepared to lash out.

He wasn't going to indulge a delinquent girl who wasn't even fully grown, regardless of what 'Lord' she was in the mayor's mouth!

But before Mason could spit out any insults, Fisk also felt that the situation was getting out of hand. He quickly stepped forward, bracing himself to smooth things over: "My Lord Jinx, but this is what we agreed on before... We..."

"I said—get out."

Before Fisk could finish, Jinx's purplish-red eyes suddenly turned cold, and she pulled out a strange pistol covered in pink and blue graffiti from her waist.

Yes, this gun of Vi's is Jinx's.

With a crisp 'click' of the gun being cocked, the dark muzzle pointed straight at Fisk's forehead.

Jinx tilted her head, the muzzle waving casually between Toomes' trio and Fisk: "You, too."

Cold sweat instantly soaked Fisk's expensive white suit shirt.

Toomes and Herman gasped on the spot.

Crazy! Absolutely crazy!

Who exactly was this girl? She actually dared to point a gun at the current mayor's head in the territory of New York?!

The most terrifying thing was that Fisk, facing that dark muzzle, didn't even dare to make a sound, let alone hide!

Just at this tense moment, as if blood would splatter the scene in the next second—

"Tap, tap, tap."

A series of hurried and light footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the Inventory.

Immediately after, a slender figure pounced over like a small bird, directly hugging the dangerously aura-emitting Jinx from behind: "Sorry, sorry! I got delayed by something and came late!"

The moment he saw the newcomer, Fisk, who was so tense he almost had a heart attack, was instantly relieved. He let out a long sigh of relief and called out as if grasping a lifesaver: "My Lord Lux..."

The newcomer was indeed Lux.

The Scatterbrain and the Grump duo.
