Chapter 038: Interesting Prize
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第038章 有趣的奖品
The wizard Shazam glanced at Wang Bo, somewhat surprised that Wang Bo knew so clearly, but he did not stop him.
Wang Bo continued, "The power of the six gods will make you incredibly strong. Solomon's wisdom can grant you vast knowledge, perception, understanding, and insight."
"Hercules is the strongest god. In myths and legends, he is the god of strength, and his power is immense."
"Atlas belongs to the Titan race. He was punished by Zeus to hold up the sky with his shoulders, possessing extraordinary endurance. With this endurance, you will never feel tired."
"You know Zeus. His divine power allows you to control lightning."
"And the courage of Achilles can make your body invulnerable to weapons, immune to all forms of physical attack, and give you an optimistic fighting spirit that can uplift you even in the most desperate situations."
"As for Mercury, he can grant you tremendous speed. Supersonic speed is just a piece of cake for you."
"The power of the six gods can make you stronger than you can imagine, even easily defeat a modern army and become a god on the battlefield."
After hearing this, Steve Rogers was indeed tempted, but he was not carried away. Instead, he said, "But all this comes at a price, right?"
Wang Bo said, "Once you accept the power of the six gods, you must protect this world. That is the price."
Steve Rogers hesitated for a moment, then shook his head at the wizard Shazam and said, "I cannot accept your kindness, great wizard Shazam, because I am about to leave this world."
A trace of admiration flickered in the wizard Shazam's eyes, and he said, "Won't you reconsider, Steve Rogers? You are the most suitable heir to my power."
Steve Rogers shook his head again, "Maybe you're right, wizard Shazam, but I have my own work to do."
Seeing that Steve Rogers was determined to leave, Shazam did not insist.
"Maybe you're right."
The wizard Shazam felt he could hold on for a few more decades, and perhaps he would find someone more suitable in the future. Since Steve Rogers was unwilling, he could only respect the other's choice.
After all, a forced melon is not sweet.
"I'll see you out." Then, he picked up his staff and tapped it lightly on the ground. Wang Bo and Steve Rogers found themselves back in the car.
The oblivious driver drove them back to Fox's mansion.
After getting out of the car, Wang Bo said, "Do you know what you missed, Steve Rogers?"
Steve Rogers replied, "Yes, but I don't regret it."
"Really? But your expression doesn't seem to say that."
"...Okay, I admit, I do regret it a little, but just a tiny bit. Because I know I have more important things to do."
Wang Bo looked at the conflicted Steve Rogers and couldn't help but smile slightly. "Go say goodbye to your Mr. Fox. I'll wait for you here, Steve Rogers."
Steve Rogers nodded, knocked on the door, and went inside.
Wang Bo thought he would have to wait for a while, but actually, after just a few minutes, Steve Rogers came out of the house carrying a suitcase.
Standing at the door, he hugged the old man Fox, exchanged a few words, and then walked over to Wang Bo.
"Not going to chat a bit longer?" Wang Bo said.
"I wanted to, but the gentleman doesn't like farewells. He kicked me out of the house." Steve Rogers couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Alright, let's go."
Wang Bo smiled faintly, helped Steve Rogers into the car, and drove to a secluded place.
Steve Rogers asked, "How do we get back?"
"Hold my hand, and I can send you back," Wang Bo said.
Steve Rogers was a bit stunned.
Wang Bo said, "Trust me."
Steve Rogers hesitated, then reached out to take Wang Bo's right hand, but Wang Bo suddenly thought of something, withdrew his hand, and tapped Steve Rogers between the eyebrows.
Instantly, a breathing technique was instilled into Steve Rogers' mind in a marvelous manner.
Ripple Qigong!
Wang Bo wasn't sure whether Steve Rogers could still join the experiment and become Captain America after returning, but he didn't mind helping a man with a golden spirit.
So Wang Bo taught him the Ripple Qigong.
Then, he firmly grasped Steve Rogers' hand and said, "Welcome home."
The next second, Steve Rogers, still immersed in the Ripple Qigong, was sent back by Wang Bo.
After Steve Rogers left, Wang Bo asked, "Check for me, are there any other穿越者 in this world?"
[None. This world has only that one穿越者. Congratulations, host, you have completed the task once again and earned a chance to draw a prize. Would you like to draw?]
"Draw," Wang Bo said.
[Drawing begins, drawing ends. The prize has been awarded. Congratulations, host, you have drawn a very interesting item this time.]
"What is it?"
[Moonlight Box]
Wang Bo's eyebrow twitched. The Moonlight Box was a good thing—essentially a time-travel device, but of the magical artifact type rather than technological.
Wang Bo remembered that although this thing could send people back to the past, the specific time point was not consistent.
That is, while it could send people back to the past, it could only return to a rough range, not pinpoint an exact day, let alone the hour and minute.
That alone was worth complaining about.
Moreover, this thing had another drawback: the time of travel was completely unfixed.
For example, when至尊宝 wanted to go back to save Bai Jingjing, he originally intended to return to a slightly earlier time, but ended up going back five hundred years.
That was quite frustrating.
And there was another even more annoying aspect: this thing could only be powered by moonlight, not sunlight at all.
Hence the name Moonlight Box.
Wang Bo hesitated for a moment, then took out the Moonlight Box from his four-dimensional pocket. It looked exactly like the one from the world of A Chinese Odyssey.
He examined it carefully and found that this Moonlight Box might not be as bad as he had imagined.
Because this Moonlight Box allowed time travel according to the user's thoughts.
However, ancient people had no concept of minutes and seconds, so when至尊宝 used the Moonlight Box, his thoughts were simple: go back a little, go back a little, go back a little more.
Thus, he failed to save Bai Jingjing several times.
