Marvel: Hunter

Chapter 365: Garbage

When Blaine became stronger in the future, the level of weapons he used would definitely no longer be limited to something like the current Flood Dragon Trident.

An upgrade was inevitable, and the materials used for that upgrade would certainly not be limited to vibranium alone. To be honest, vibranium was still useful to Blaine right now, but whether it would remain so in the future was uncertain.

Just imagine it—if Blaine’s dragon tridents were used to deal with opponents at a universal level, would it really be appropriate to keep using the same materials without upgrading the weapon beforehand? If vibranium were used as the sole upgrade material in that scenario, then the weapon itself would be no better than a tofu construction.

It wasn’t that Blaine was deliberately belittling the value of vibranium. It was simply that, as his level increased, he would inevitably need to replace it with stronger materials.

This was just like the games Blaine used to play. You start off weak in the early stages and buy a basic knife. Once you have strength, money, and damage in the mid-game, you switch to a mid-tier knife. That knife might be very smooth and easy to use, but when your opponents become even stronger, continuing to use it would clearly be insufficient. At that point, what you need to do is buy a high-level knife so it can match your own strength and unleash explosive damage.

Some people might say that more is always better—collect as much as possible since you’ve already come this far. After all, even small knives can be sold for money, right?

To that, Blaine could only respond helplessly. The vibranium he secretly collected and stored in Hunter Space was not part of T’Challa’s commission, so it counted as something Blaine had snatched for himself.

At this point, one couldn’t forget the system’s rules. Did anyone really think that stolen vibranium could still be sold for a good price? Obviously not.

Since one ton of vibranium was already enough for Blaine to use well into the later stages, and any extra vibranium wouldn’t sell for much anyway, Blaine simply chose to be a qualified tourist and a qualified actor, spending more time carefully exploring the crater instead.

Besides, even if he secretly collected it—regardless of whether T’Challa would discover it—if the system didn’t pay for it, then it was no better than a pile of garbage. Garbage could be thrown away without a second thought, but throwing away vibranium would definitely make Blaine feel distressed. Yet keeping it would only take up space.

This was like someone buying a phone with a huge amount of storage. Even if they knew they would never fill it, they would still clean it regularly—especially their favorites—filtering through them again and again before deleting what wasn’t needed.

The same principle applied to Hunter Space. Blaine was that kind of neat freak. Even though Hunter Space was enormous, he regularly cleared out items he no longer used.

But when it came to vibranium, it was truly a dilemma. It was a pity to throw it away, but keeping it took up space, and it was useless if it couldn’t be sold for money.

Seeing all this "white flower" vibranium through Hawkeye, Blaine could only shake his head helplessly. There was no helping it—there was simply too much.

Then, Blaine shifted Hawkeye’s focus to another place. As expected, it was beneath the meteorite—a location that even Hawkeye couldn’t see into. Even his mental power couldn’t detect the depth below, nor map out the terrain there at all.
