In an American comic book world, you start with a horse charm.

A month has passed since Tony Stark was attacked.

Miller hosted four "Miller's Game" events during that month, bringing the total to five events including the first one. The event cost nearly ten million US dollars, but it also brought huge profits to Miller and Stark Industries.

Miller's Game swept across the United States within a month, with nearly 70% of viewers trying to sign up and become the next "millionaire," and the entire country was discussing this hot topic.

……

"The Miller Game," a dark allegory that combines a simple childhood game with a brutal survival competition. — A report in Time X magazine.

According to data, "Miller's Game" has garnered sponsorships from numerous Fortune 500 companies since its premiere, including Coca-Cola, McDonald's, X Chocolate, and Lay's. The games that designer Miller created specifically for these companies, such as "Who Can Drink a Whole Bottle of Coca-Cola in One Go?", the McDonald's Eating Contest, X Chocolate Kingdom, and Lay's Speed ​​Challenge, have significantly boosted sales of related products. According to relevant statistics, product sales surged by 1000% on the day of the event. Once this was revealed, numerous companies sought to sponsor "Miller's Game"—as reported by *New York Business Magazine*.

"Minimalist visual symbols, universal social issues, and a highly conflict-driven narrative structure make this show a 'visual and financial savior'." — Sociologist Burigs commented.

"When 1000 contestants are competing in a game, what the audience sees is actually a mirror." — A statement by renowned psychologist Mina Levine.

Various newspapers and commentaries revolved around "Miller's Game," and Miller, as the program's planner and host, received countless attention.

This also brought Miller a lot of reputation points. At this moment, even if Miller does nothing, his reputation points continue to rise.

After gaining his first 10,000 reputation points, Miller chose to purchase the Rat Charm, but the system prompted him to choose between two options: an item or a skill. If he chose the item, he could upgrade it with money, while if he chose the skill, he could upgrade it with reputation points.

Miller chose the skill without hesitation, since skills can be possessed permanently, while items lose their ability once lost.

However, considering that reputation is much harder to obtain than money, Miller is also considering whether to make some of the charms appear as items.

Miller considered the abilities of rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, rooster, and dog to be essential.

The rat, which gives life to inanimate objects, might seem ordinary at first glance, but in the original "Jackie Chan Adventures," it can revive the feathered serpent god, a Mayan deity who governs life and harvest. The only drawback is that the revived object will not obey the talisman holder's commands, but will act according to the original's settings.

For example, if the Captain America statue in a World War II memorial were resurrected, a Captain America would appear with the exact same appearance, personality, and abilities. The resurrected Captain America would behave and act in the same way as the real Captain America.

The Ox talisman enhances strength and physique, providing strong attack and defense capabilities, making it very important, but relatively secondary as it relies heavily on the holder's pre-existing strength. Miller plans to activate the Ox talisman once he obtains the Super Soldier Serum or the Heart-Shaped Grass.

Tiger, with conflicting balance abilities, is a must-choose. When used alone, it has the ability to create clones, and according to the original work, it seems to also have the ability to find objects.

Rabbit, with super-fast movement, can teleport and accelerate items. When combined with the Beef Talisman, it's basically an enhanced version of the Flash, on par with the Beef Talisman.

The chicken talisman, seemingly levitation-based but actually controlled by telekinesis, can be used with the rabbit talisman for flight, with the ox talisman for a palm strike descending from the sky, and with the pig talisman for a weakened version of Superman… It's practically a versatile talisman, and even on its own, its potential is comparable to Magneto, making it a must-have. Moreover, no Naruto fan can resist Shinra Tensei.

Dogs are immortal and eternally youthful. Combined with the Horse Talisman, they are practically invincible and a must-have! Actually, the Horse Talisman should also be a must-have skill, but unfortunately, it has already been obtained as an item.

After this round, it seems there are five talismans that you can consider choosing to obtain items from: Dragon (energy explosion), Snake (invisibility), Sheep (out-of-body experience, entering someone else's dream), Monkey (morphing animal), and Pig (laser eyes).

But looking at the terrifying effect of the horse talisman in his hand after it reached LV9—"It can cure all diseases in the current world and restore all items in the current world"—Miller thought it would be best to choose all skills.

Thanks to the explosive popularity of "Miller's Game", Miller gained more than 70,000 reputation points in this month.

Miller's abilities underwent a dramatic change after using these 70,000+ Hope Points.

Tiger Talisman Power LV5 (1/100000) [Can balance some talisman abilities; split personality creates clones that can briefly stay in the current world (controllable)]

Chicken Talisman Power LV4 (1/10000) [Can control the body and a small number of objects in the current world to float in the air, height is limited]

Looking at those vaguely descriptive words, Miller could only begin to try and explore the specific scope of these abilities one by one.

The Rat Talisman is an item that Miller can activate if it provides feedback when he tries to activate it. Except for items with superpowers (such as the Captain America statue), almost all of them gave Miller feedback, but he did not actually try to activate them.

I didn't dare try the dog charm...

The Tiger Talisman, I don't know how to try balancing the energy. The clone lasts for about an hour, then disappears. The personality doesn't seem very friendly, but at least she's willing to watch TV with Miller. However, Miller doesn't feel his personality has improved much; virtues like humility, honesty, compassion, courage, justice, and sacrifice seem completely foreign to him.

The Chicken Talisman can probably make Miller float about five meters off the ground and can also control objects weighing around 200 kilograms to float about five meters. The floating speed is not very fast and it is not very convenient to move. It seems that it still needs to be used in conjunction with the Rabbit Talisman.

After trying it out, Miller felt that his current combat power was still just average.

Before the upgrade, its combat effectiveness was average; after the upgrade, its combat effectiveness remained average.

Isn't this a waste of effort?
