Lilith has lived for 50,000 years. Sometimes when she is bored, she will take a break from busy work and indeed sleep for decades at a time.
She is very long-lived. She has passed fifty thousand years without feeling old at all. Her lifespan may even be infinite. Each of her activities is measured in units of ten years and one hundred years.
So she really hasn't considered the issue of Leo's short lifespan.
She nodded as if she suddenly understood: "You are right, I haven't considered this issue."
But she immediately became very depressed,
"But in the past fifty thousand years, I have only met you who can communicate with me. I can't find anyone else to help me."
Leo pretended to think about it again and said, "Lilith, don't be anxious yet. Listen to me. Do you think this is a good idea?"
Lilith's attention was immediately attracted to Leo.
"After I return to the real world, I can try to help you find that woman, and if possible, I can even help you find your hometown in the universe.
However, I don’t guarantee that I will be able to do it successfully. If I can’t do it, you can’t blame me.”
"Yeah, Leo, I don't blame you, thank you, you are so kind."
In just a few words, Lilith was fooled by Leo and agreed to what Leo said.
What Leo wanted was this relatively loose agreement.
Although Leo didn't know why Lilith still looked so silly and cute after 50,000 years, but at least she was reasonable.
So after Leo took the benefits she gave him, even if he didn't do anything, he had a reason to evade, so he didn't have to worry about the goddess suddenly flying in front of him one day and giving him a fatal divine punishment.
With this guarantee, Leo can ask for benefits with peace of mind.
I saw that Leo no longer concealed himself, and began to make requests openly:
"Lilith, you also know that my life is short, but if I want to try to fulfill your two requests, I have to spend more time, which will shorten my free life. So, can you give me
Some compensation?”
"This is what it should be." Lilith looked serious. It was her first time making a deal with someone else, and she didn't want to do it unfairly.
But she didn't know what she should give Leo to be truly fair. After all, what Leo sacrificed was time and his free life.
So Lilith decided to give Leo everything she could.
"This way he won't lose money, right?" Lilith thought.
When Leo saw Lilith, she seemed to be lost in thought and did not speak. He also kept silent, determined not to take the initiative to ask for benefits.
After all, he didn't know what Lilith would give him.
Moreover, this so-called goddess didn't seem to have experienced the world at all. If Leo spoke rashly, he felt that he would definitely suffer.
At this time, Lilith had already made a decision in her heart, and the ethereal voice sounded again:
"Leo, I can summon enough life essence to strengthen your body in the real world.
But how much energy your body can absorb now and to what extent it can be strengthened depends on your physical fitness. I can't decide, so you have to rely on yourself."
Leo nodded calmly, without any emotion of surprise in his heart.
Bucky also received this kind of treatment. He was just giving a lot of food and taking care of himself. There was nothing special about him.
He firmly believed that Lilith could not only offer this benefit.
Sure enough, Lilith went on to say:
"The life essence contained in the heart-shaped herb actually bears the imprint of my soul, so after any living body is strengthened once, its cells will be marked as 'strengthened'.
Unless you drink a potion made from ground heart-shaped herb rhizomes, and the strengthening effect is dissipated, you can take the heart-shaped herb again to strengthen your body.
Otherwise, no matter how many heart-shaped herbs you take, it will have no effect."
Leo also knew this because Bucky had tried it.
Lilith kept talking in her mouth,
"But I can put a mark on your body, and then your body will automatically eliminate the "strengthened" label under the influence of the mark.
In this way, if your physical fitness is enhanced through other methods in the future, you can continue to take the heart-shaped herbal medicine to strengthen the body again through the life essence."
The strengthening effect of the heart-shaped herb can be dissipated. Leo knew this because it was included in the plot of the "Black Panther" movie.
Now after listening to Lilith's description, Leo knew more.
It turns out that grinding the roots of the heart-shaped herb into a potion can dispel the strengthening effect by drinking it.
But regarding the "strengthened" label, Leo really doesn't know the reason.
If it is true as Lilith said, once she lifts this restriction for Leo, will he have another way to continue to become stronger?
Think about it, the mechanical power in Leo's body can slowly increase his physical fitness. Since he last received the "secondary serum enhancement", the mechanical power in his body has increased sharply.
Today, almost three years have passed, and the sudden increase in mechanical power has been fed back to Leo's body, slowly raising his physical fitness to a level similar to Bucky's.
So if he takes the heart-shaped herb now, his physical fitness will definitely increase again, and his mechanical power will suddenly surge.
He only needs to wait patiently for another year and a half, and after the surge in mechanical power is fed back to his body, his system will be greatly improved, and then he can eat the heart-shaped herb to strengthen it again.
If the cycle continues like this, as long as there is enough time, Leo's physical fitness can steadily improve.
Based on this calculation, his physical fitness will be able to catch up to or even surpass Thor, the God of Thunder.
Maybe, in the future, he can stay in the vacuum of the universe with his body alone and not die, or even be able to withstand the concentrated energy impact of the entire star.
This heart-shaped herb is a perfect match for Leo!
But the premise is that Lilith needs to put a mark into Leo's body.
Leo felt a little uncomfortable with this mark, so he bluntly asked about his doubts.
Lilith smiled lightly and explained:
"You actually don't need to worry about this.
The imprint I put into your body is essentially the same thing as the 'strengthened' label you passively carry when you eat the heart-shaped herb. They both enable your body to produce a special protein.
If you mind this, then you probably won’t even be able to eat the heart-shaped herb.”
Leo felt a little uncomfortable, but he wasn't too entangled in similar matters.
After all, he carries a system of unknown origin and has inexplicably mastered inexplicable mechanical power. Isn't it still a pleasure to use it?
Moreover, if Leo was obsessed with this, he would have struggled to death when he was vaccinated in his previous life...
Now a special protein is produced in his body, which is similar to the antibodies produced by vaccines in the real world.
Thinking of this, Leo completely looked away.
Anyway, if he wants to become stronger, he must not let go of the heart-shaped herb. All the black panthers in the past have eaten it, and Bucky has also eaten it. The herd mentality has alleviated Leo's worries very well at this time.
But after solving this psychological obstacle, Leo thought of a practical problem again:
"Lilith, even if you lift the restrictions in my body, what should I do if I want to take heart-shaped herbs to continue strengthening my body in the future?
To be honest, I really have the idea of going to the universe to help you find your hometown. If I am in the universe and my body is suddenly strengthened in other ways, will I have to rush back to you to take the heart-shaped herbal medicine?
