[Nano-fiber Protective Shield: Grandpa Rick's top-tier protective shield, when activated, forms a skin-tight membrane that can block bullets, lasers, and other attacks, repel close-range enemies, and does not affect mobility.]
It's here!
After Levi gained telepathy, his biggest worry was his physical strength.
For a true-blooded Huaxia person, what they desire most is strength in both mind and body.
To specialize in only one side is considered unorthodox.
Now, he can at least protect his body.
This is the famous black technology of Grandpa Rick.
It appears very small and can be hidden in the teeth or neck.
Levi naturally chose to place it on his neck.
With this, he felt at ease.
There is a lot of black technology in the World of "Rick and Morty," and while most of it is quite sinister, Levi still wanted many of them.
Then, Levi flipped his hand, and a black hilt appeared in his grasp.
"Buzz!"
As he activated it, a beam of plasma energy shot out, forming a blade.
Unlike other lightsabers, the Dark Sword, besides its black color, occasionally emitted a white glow.
Its blade was flat with a curve, and its tip was sharp.
"Cool!"
Even Levi couldn't help but exclaim.
Ordinary lightsabers, in his opinion, were just that, only flashy in color.
But the Dark Sword was different; it had a blade body, completely unlike other lightsabers.
Moreover, its black and white colors made it appear even more solemn.
It also possessed something other lightsabers did not.
That was recognition.
Only by gaining the Dark Sword's recognition could one use it without restraint.
Otherwise, it would become increasingly 'heavy,' causing the user to be unable to use it for too long.
Therefore, the Mandalorian considered the Dark Sword a symbol of leadership; whoever obtained the Dark Sword could lead all Mandalorians.
Sure enough, as Levi carefully swung it, he felt the Dark Sword become heavier.
This meant it had not recognized him.
This so-called 'recognition' was too metaphysical.
Because Levi scanned it with his telepathy but found no issues.
He had initially thought there might be some 'artifact spirit' within it.
But now it seemed this was just a lightsaber, only a special one.
"I don't know how to get its recognition."
Levi turned off the Dark Sword and put it away.
Then he looked at other items; the Super Battery, needless to say, was an enhanced version of the fusion battery, capable of supplying energy to an entire city.
It could compete with the new energy sources Tony Stark would invent himself in the future.
Besides that, the most important item was CPH4.
This was the pill from the movie "Lucy"; to ordinary people, it was no different from other drugs.
But for the 'protagonist,' it could bring about brain evolution.
And after being modified by the System, it had become somewhat different.
Levi held it in his hand, feeling a bit hesitant.
He wasn't afraid of developing his brain; his main fear was turning into a 'god.'
If he lost his humanity, what would be the point?
If it were someone else, like Superman, Levi would absolutely hope he possessed divinity.
Because humanity is very unreliable; good people can easily turn bad, and if Superman possessed too much so-called humanity, he would also be unreliable.
But divinity was different; it would not change easily.
So, Levi asked the System.
"Using CPH4 won't make me lose all humanity, will it?"
[As long as brain development does not reach one hundred percent, it will not.]
The System replied quickly.
[To achieve one hundred percent brain development, you need to continuously use CPH4; it cannot be done with just one or two pills.]
Seeing the System's reply, Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right.
In the movie, the female protagonist swallowed a whole bag, and it opened directly in her stomach, which led to very rapid evolution.
Levi only had three pills in total right now; was he trying to cultivate health with these?
So, he immediately took one to test it out.
Since it was from the System, there would be no addiction.
After one pill, Levi felt no effect.
He then swallowed the remaining two, and only then did he feel something.
His telepathy seemed to have strengthened considerably.
This was normal; brain development would enhance the mind and spirit.
Especially Levi's telekinesis, which also strengthened.
Brain development is very miraculous; not only does it bring various superpowers, but it can also allow time travel. The only drawback is that it can cause one to lose humanity and become a 'god.'
It's like the saints in "Investiture of the Gods" transforming into the Heavenly Dao.
Levi played around excitedly and felt it was worth it.
After the lottery upgrade, the probability of drawing good items increased significantly, and his 'non-chief' status was no longer so obvious.
When he was ready to sleep, he called Eve in.
Although there were no enemies, he was still very scared and needed Eve's close protection!
...
The U.S. military has been under immense pressure these past few days.
Besides boasting to reporters that they would find Tony Stark within three days,
It was also because Levi had been constantly pressuring them on social media.
There was no other way; Levi had to be this 'obnoxious' for his reputation points.
The U.S. military was somewhat helpless against him.
As a result, days passed, and let alone finding Tony Stark, they couldn't even find a single hair of Tony Stark.
That place was known as the 'Graveyard of Empires'; even the U.S. military couldn't fare well there, and finding someone was even harder.
All desert, deep mountains, how could they find him?
It was precisely because of this that Tony Stark saw a business opportunity and used it to promote his new products.
Who would have thought that there was a traitor within Stark Industries!
At this moment, Tony Stark was filled with regret; he still didn't know where things went wrong and could only keep forging.
He had thought of Levi, but he also felt that Levi wouldn't be so 'malicious.'
Because there was no need.
Although the two had always engaged in verbal sparring, gentlemen only verbally spar and do not resort to physical conflict; there were absolutely no other conflicts.
Tony Stark at most thought Levi was rather 'cheap,' but he wouldn't think of killing him.
Conversely, he believed Levi felt the same.
And these past few days, besides riding the wave of popularity, Levi has been overseeing the company's changes.
First, he finalized a partnership with a factory across the ocean to help produce drone parts, which would then be shipped to Future Industries for assembly.
This way, it would become 'Made in America.'
Not long after, they had the Griffin Drone and began testing it.
This was 2077 technology, decades ahead of the present, and superior in all aspects to what the U.S. military was using.
That's right, although drones weren't advanced back then, the U.S. military had already started using them.
But those who know, know: in a place where a bag of screws costs ninety thousand U.S. dollars, could drones be cheap?
If you made them cheap, the Pentagon generals wouldn't be happy.
If you don't take it and I don't take it, how will Commissioner Smith take it?
So, the U.S. military's drones are currently expensive and subpar, completely incomparable to Future Technology's Griffin Drone.
Levi was confident he could crush them.
