The familiar system notification sound was like music to Peter's ears right now.
"Captain, let's go check on Carter's condition first. I can use my abilities to relieve some of her pain first."
"But as for how to extend her lifespan and restore her youth afterward, I'll have to think of another way."
As Peter spoke, he put his arm around Captain America's shoulder and activated the Eye of Aurora around his neck.
With a flash of light, Peter and Captain America appeared inside a fully equipped nursing home.
On the intensive care bed, ninety-five-year-old Peggy Carter lay quietly.
Her current state was very poor.
Her hair was white, her face was covered in wrinkles and age spots, and she barely clung to life with the help of an oxygen mask.
Honestly, Peter truly admired Captain America.
After experiencing a sixty-year gap in his memory, seeing his beloved turn into a frail, elderly woman, yet still being willing to guard her bedside and never abandon her—this was truly rare and admirable.
This genuine affection made Peter want to help Captain America solve this trouble once and for all, so they could happily spend the rest of their lives together.
With this in mind, Peter took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gently placed his hand on Carter's wrist.
A hazy white light instantly enveloped Carter's aging body.
Under the effect of the Horse Talisman, the hidden injuries Carter had sustained during World War II in her youth, as well as the ailments left behind by years of hard work, were quickly dispelled.
Her brow, which had been tightly furrowed even in her sleep, gradually relaxed, and her heavy eyes slowly opened.
"Peggy."
Seeing this, Captain America couldn't help but rush forward excitedly to hold Carter's hand, hot tears streaming down his face:
"Thank goodness. You have no idea how worried I was about you."
Seeing her lover so concerned about her, Carter, wearing the ventilator, forced a faint smile.
She didn't say a word, but after giving Peter a grateful look, she gently stroked the back of Captain America's hand.
Peter didn't disturb the two of them and quietly withdrew from the ward alone.
After leaving the ward, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately immersed his consciousness into the shop interface.
Upon opening the shop interface, the same familiar eight items were displayed before him.
In the top-left corner of the system shop, Peter's sacrifice points balance was displayed:
1,026,400!
A whopping 1.02 million sacrifice points!
Looking at this seven-figure balance, Peter subconsciously took a deep breath.
This amount of money was undoubtedly enough to buy the dog talisman.
Now, it just depended on whether the system was generous enough to fulfill his dream!
With this thought, Peter looked at the first refreshed item.
[Item 1: Wolf's Gravestone]
[Origin: Genshin Impact]
[Effect: A greatsword hand-forged by Ravenwood, who inherited the name of "Boreas", before he became a knight. When equipped, attack speed is increased by 10%.]
When attacks deal damage to enemies, the equipped character will gain 1/2/2 stacks of "Poetry of the Four Winds" respectively: damage dealt is increased by 7.5%/9.5%/11.5%/13.5%/15.5%. This effect lasts for 4 seconds and can stack up to 4 times.]
[Price: 20,000 sacrifice points]
Holy crap, Genshin!
Although this had nothing to do with the dog talisman he wanted most right now, and Peter wasn't currently lacking weapons for combat, considering that this weapon came with an excellent damage-boosting mechanism and only cost 20,000 sacrifice points—which was a steal—
Peter decisively bought the item, planning to give it to Sif or Natasha as a secondary weapon.
[Item 2: Hoi-Poi Capsule]
[Origin: Dragon Ball]
[Effect: A spatial capsule developed by the Bulma family. Its function is to shrink large objects into a capsule form by compressing the space between atoms (or changing the atomic arrangement), thereby achieving portable storage.]
[Price: 10,000 sacrifice points]
Compared to Wolf's Gravestone, this Hoi-Poi Capsule was clearly severely overpriced.
Although this thing was very suitable for helping Felicia compress the water tower to achieve the water storage function of the Battle Suit, considering that this could be done using the Pym Particles native to the Marvel Universe, Peter hesitated for a moment and decided to pass on this severely overpriced item.
[Item 3: Noble Phantasm - Nine Lives (Shooting the Hundred Heads)]
[Origin: Type-Moon Universe]
[Effect: A Noble Phantasm possessed by the Berserker, Heracles. The prototype is the archery technique he used when destroying the HYDRA, which was later turned into a Noble Phantasm as a combat technique applicable to various weapons. Its essence is a nine-consecutive-strike combat method that maximizes the weapon's power and executes it rapidly.]
[Price: 100,000 sacrifice points]
The moment he saw this third item, Peter couldn't help but rub his chin.
This thing seemed quite interesting.
The essence of this item was actually a skill book. Its effect was that no matter what weapon Peter used, he could multiply the effect of that single attack by nine while using the weapon's most powerful move.
Take Senbonzakura as an example.
Senbonzakura's strongest attack was undoubtedly "Shukei: Hakuteiken" (Endscape: White Emperor Sword).
Under normal circumstances, this move could only be used once and was regarded as a finishing blow.
But if paired with Nine Lives (Shooting the Hundred Heads), he could execute the attack of the White Emperor Sword nine times in an instant.
However, correspondingly, because this Noble Phantasm itself was already extremely overpowered, its use came with strict limitations.
For example, it could only be used once a day, and a weapon would temporarily become unusable after using Nine Lives (Shooting the Hundred Heads). Furthermore, Nine Lives itself could not stack with any form of energy amplification.
"Although the price is a bit high, it is undoubtedly a very practical burst skill."
Thinking this, Peter didn't hesitate at all and decisively chose to buy it.
[Item 4: Ope-Ope no Mi]
[Origin: One Piece World]
[Effect: The Devil Fruit eaten by Trafalgar Law. The user can create a spherical or hemispherical space, dominating everything within it like a ruler, including kinetic energy, length, temperature, mass, density, and other units, and freely cutting, swapping, and splicing anything. If the fruit's awakening is achieved, they can even perform the Perpetual Youth Surgery on others at the cost of consuming their own lifespan.]
[Price: 200,000 sacrifice points]
Hiss~
The moment he saw this fruit's ability, Peter couldn't help but gasp.
Well, look at that, a fruit related to immortality actually did refresh.
It's just that the price was too extreme. The prerequisite for granting immortality to others was to directly sacrifice one's own lifespan, which meant Peter could never eat this fruit just to grant others immortality.
However, even putting aside the Perpetual Youth Surgery ability, the Ope-Ope no Mi's inherent abilities were absolutely insane, and the price of 200,000 sacrifice points was definitely not overpriced.
Peter was already tempted to buy this fruit and give it to someone to act as his support.
But considering the risk of a dilemma where he might refresh his dream dog talisman later but not have enough money to buy it, he ultimately chose the safer route and did not buy this expensive Devil Fruit immediately.
Instead, after collecting his thoughts, he continued to look at the fifth item...
