Captain America woke up, and whether he would work harder to learn the Machine Fini was unknown, but he knew he had to make an effort in the coming days.
There was still a significant amount of experience needed to reach the sixth extraction, and even if the Hulk gave a lot of experience each time, he couldn't be careless. Moreover, he wanted to conduct the seventh extraction before making his official debut in the Avengers.
In the evening, Fini arrived at Kama Taiji because he had been absent for three days due to the Hulk's influence.
As a result, he was surrounded by a group of mages who asked about his well-being as soon as he appeared.
It wasn't that Fini was particularly well-liked or respected, but mainly because of the Fried Chicken Roll issue. The three-day absence had left the mages craving for it.
This situation gave Fini a wake-up call, as he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to come to Kama Taiji every day in the future.
The next day, Fini bought several large refrigerators and used the transmission portal to bring them to Kama Taiji.
At a speed of three per second, he began storing the 'Jian Ji Fried Chicken Rolls' inside, taking several hours to fill the refrigerators. This way, even if he wasn't present, the mages at Kama Taiji would still have something to eat.
Although the taste might be slightly different, it was still better than having nothing to eat.
The mages at Kama Taiji unanimously praised Fini's actions, which also solved the problem of only being able to eat in the morning.
It was clear that Fini had become an essential item for Kama Taiji.
His impact on the world was still unknown, but his influence on Kama Taiji had begun to emerge. If Kama Taiji were to lose him one day, many mages might develop an eating disorder or something similar.
Fini spent two peaceful days before finding Banner again, but he felt that Banner's gaze was slightly unusual.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?"
Fini looked down at himself, his gray and white short-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and he had washed up in the morning, just like usual, without any differences.
"What did you do with the Hulk during those three days?"
Banner had repeatedly confirmed his memories over the past few days, and the garbage in the room also indicated that he wasn't the problem, but he couldn't believe that the Hulk had such a side to him.
His impression of the Hulk was that of a brutal, crazy, and monstrous being, but the Hulk in his memories was like a child, which was hard for him to accept.
"What did you do?"
Fini looked at Banner in confusion and replied, "Ate, slept, and fought!"
"You took him to eat burgers and drink cola?"
Banner's gaze was unusual, and he still couldn't understand how Fini had harmoniously coexisted with the Hulk and even enjoyed it.
"What's wrong with that?"
Fini thought that the Hulk might have eaten too much and had an impact on Banner, so he asked with concern, "Is your body uncomfortable?"
"No!"
Banner shook his head, unsure of how to express the situation. Fini's existence had made him realize the Hulk's other side.
"Is what you're doing really useful?"
Banner wasn't someone who was easily deceived, and he wasn't like Nick Fury, who was stubborn. He was a knowledgeable and kind-hearted doctor who would believe in Fini's hope but also question whether it was truly effective.
"I'll try anyway."
Fini didn't give a definitive answer. He saw that Banner wasn't trying to back down but was just uncertain about the future.
Afterward, the two of them went to an uninhabited area, and Banner summoned the Hulk again. This time, the Hulk didn't roar loudly and instead happily ran towards Fini, like a little follower.
"Come, let's fight! This time, the loser will get a treat!"
Fini sneakily wanted to weaken the Hulk through this method.
The Hulk's face showed a hint of hesitation, but his determination to win still exceeded his desire for food. He replied, "Hulk will win!"
"The winner won't get anything to eat!"
Fini wasn't someone who cared about appearances. If he were in front of outsiders, he might be slightly more restrained, but the more familiar he was with someone, the more he would show his true nature.
If he really cared about appearances, he wouldn't have used his 'Dance in the Air' technique to force the mages at Kama Taiji to admit defeat and gain experience.
Although Gu Yi had warned him not to lose control in pursuit of power, being shameless and wanting to win wasn't something that bothered Fini.
Even if it meant bullying the simple-minded Hulk.
"Look!"
Fini summoned a 'Jian Ji Fried Chicken Roll' and waved it in front of the Hulk, saying, "The loser can eat as much as they want!"
"Hulk will win!"
The Hulk's gaze followed the 'Jian Ji Fried Chicken Roll', but he still declared his intention to win, even saying with a hint of resentment, "Mage, you're bad!"
Fini sneered inwardly, thinking that he would let the Hulk know how cruel the world of adults could be.
"The winner won't be allowed to watch TV."
As soon as he said this, the Hulk became angry, his eyes fixed fiercely on Fini as he said, "Hulk won't fight the mage!"
"Ah!"
Fini was taken aback, realizing he might have stimulated the Hulk too much, and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Okay, okay, let's forget about that."
The Hulk turned back, still looking angry, and said, "Mage, you're cheating! You're not worthy of winning!"
This time, Fini became angry, rolling up his sleeves and saying, "Come on, let's see! I'll show you whether I'm worthy of winning or not!"
In reality, Fini couldn't win. As long as he couldn't defeat the Hulk immediately, the Hulk would become increasingly fierce, like a cockroach that couldn't be killed.
However, it was fortunate that, in Fini's words, he at least didn't lose.
The battle ended, and the surrounding scene was in shambles. The two of them had fought with a ferocity that rivaled a demolition team. Fini's 'Explosive Magic' was nothing to be trifled with, and the Hulk's every punch and kick was also devastating.
Looking at the Hulk, who was sulking after being beaten, Fini was also worried. The Hulk's determination to fight was exceptionally strong, and even the temptation of food couldn't make him give up. This made it difficult for Fini to win normally.
Afterward, Fini still took the Hulk to eat and drink, and they had a feast.
However, this time, Banner didn't let the Hulk out like he did before. As soon as they finished eating and were about to watch TV, Banner recovered.
In the following days, Fini maintained a frequency of fighting the Hulk every three days.
Apart from gaining a large amount of experience, the 'Evil Spirit Entanglement' also evolved again.
During their battles, not only did Fini progress, but the Hulk's progress was also rapid. As a result, Fini couldn't always dodge the Hulk's attacks and would occasionally take a few punches.
Each punch was incredibly powerful.
In this situation, the 'Evil Spirit Entanglement' evolved and developed an ability to absorb physical attacks, which Fini called 'Physical Resistance'. The effect was similar to Captain America's shield.
After that, whenever the Hulk's fists landed on Fini, although it couldn't be said to be like scratching an itch, it was far less terrifying than before. This gave Fini hope of defeating the Hulk in a straight-up fight.
As for the sixth skill, I suddenly had some doubts, so I won't let you guess for now. I'll think about it carefully before saying anything.
