Currently, the system offers character cards in only three tiers: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
Bronze character cards cost 100 Universal Points each; Silver character cards cost 1000 Universal Points each, and Gold character cards cost 10,000 Universal Points each.
Given his current accumulation of over 3000 Universal Points, if he were to exchange them all into Bronze character cards, he could obviously get the most cards. However, this approach clearly doesn't hold much value.
Although he previously obtained the silver-level Tao Pai Pai sub-personality from a Bronze character card, the odds of achieving this were as slim as winning the jackpot in a scratch-off lottery—pure luck and highly improbable.
Under normal circumstances, even if he drew a hundred more Bronze character cards, he might not get another Silver sub-personality again.
Indeed, among the Bronze-level draws, his biggest gain wasn't actually Tao Pai Pai, but the highly unpredictable Constantine sub-personality.
Yet, eccentric figures like Constantine are exceptionally rare even across various worlds, far more scarce than lottery jackpots.
Raymond has never been soone who enjoys gambling on luck. Thus, Bronze character cards can be temporarily set aside. Unless he eventually has more Universal Points than he knows how to use, then he might consider mass drawing; but certainly not now.
Setting aside Bronze cards, he essentially faces only two options at the mont:
First, exchange all his current Universal Points directly into Silver character cards; second, continue saving up until he reaches 10,000 points to exchange for a single Gold character card.
Both choices have their pros and cons. After careful consideration, Raymond still decided on the forr.
The reasoning was straightforward.
Currently, he isn't even fully adapted to Silver-level sub-personalities yet.
Facing an easy opponent like Killian, he could effortlessly dominate and kill him.
Because, whether Tao Pai Pai or Akainu, either of these sub-personalities could overwhelm Killian if they beca serious.
However, if he encounters tougher or stronger opponents, or battles requiring sustained effort, it would be extrely challenging for him.
For example, in his previous confrontation with the Shadow King, neither Tao Pai Pai nor Akainu was confident in swiftly defeating or even severely injuring him, let alone killing him.
Without Constantine's unpredictable capabilities, dealing with the Shadow King would have been far from easy.
Precisely due to these reasons, Raymond didn't think now was the right ti to exchange for a Gold character card.
Based on his previous experiences, given his current adaptation to Silver sub-personalities, if he switched to a Gold-tier sub-personality, he might not even be able to move comfortably.
This assumption is based on the premise that the difference between Gold and Silver personalities is similar to the difference between Silver and Bronze.
If the gap is even larger, switching could result in imdiate collapse, unable to withstand it even for an instant.
Under these circumstances, it's pointless even to consider exchanging for a Gold character card now.
Even if he genuinely had 10,000 Universal Points now, he probably wouldn't choose to exchange it imdiately—let alone the fact he doesn't have that many points yet.
Besides these reasons, another factor is that he found different Silver-level sub-personalities, each with their unique specialties, proved highly complentary and valuable in critical situations.
For instance, earlier, when those Extremis virus-injected soldiers scattered in escape, if he hadn't promptly switched to Tao Pai Pai, many enemies might have successfully escaped.
If he could acquire a few more Silver sub-personalities, they should be able to fill in so gaps.
Moreover, any personality rated as Silver, no matter how weak, won't be completely useless; it would never be a wasted draw.
After returning to the office, Raymond went back to his private office and instructed the other three to leave him alone for now.
"System, exchange three Silver character cards and activate them all imdiately."
[Silver character card activation in progress…]
[Silver sub-personality—Itachi Uchiha, activation successful!]
[Background: Itachi Uchiha, from the world of Naruto, a genius ninja from the Uchiha clan, a mber of the Akatsuki organization, and possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan.]
..
[Silver sub-personality—gatron, activation successful!]
[Background: gatron, from the world of Transforrs, leader of the Decepticons, a powerful transforming robot.]
..
[Silver sub-personality—Orochimaru, activation successful!]
[Background: Orochimaru, from the world of Naruto, one of the legendary 'Three Ninjas' of Konoha, a forr mber of the Akatsuki, master of countless forbidden jutsu, passionate about research.]
"Orochimaru and Itachi Uchiha?" Raymond was surprised to see two Silver sub-personalities from the Naruto world activated at once.
While Kuro and Akainu ca from the sa world, they were from different tilines, and they didn't know each other personally—Kuro had only heard of Akainu.
But Itachi and Orochimaru were old acquaintances—this made the relationship between these sub-personalities feel a bit odd.
And then there's gatron...
How did a Silicon-based life form even get drawn?
"Does this an when I switch to gatron, I'll turn into a robot?" Raymond felt a bit confused.
But it might not be entirely impossible.
When he switched to Livebearer's sub-personality before, didn't he get two ports added to the back of his head?
This proves that the body will change according to the sub-personality's body when switching.
"Does this an I could beco a super fighter jet or so kind of futuristic tech equipnt?"
The thought of becoming a fighter jet, and maybe even letting people ride in it, seed odd to Raymond.
It must be said, this ti, the three Silver sub-personalities gave off a slightly awkward feeling.
But fortunately, these three Silver sub-personalities don't overlap in abilities with the previous two.
Itachi's sub-personality excels in genjutsu and has the Mangekyō Sharingan, which is a powerful weapon. This area is completely untouched by Tao Pai Pai and Akainu.
Orochimaru's sub-personality is even more versatile, with various forbidden jutsus and expertise in regular ninjutsu. Most importantly, he's also a scientist!
Although his research direction is a bit perverse, nobody can deny his creativity.
As for gatron's sub-personality, it is basically a representative of technology. In this world, he would be considered a leader of an alien villain faction.
The technological tree of Cybertron is far more advanced than Earth's, and Silicon-based life forms have their own advantages.
If Raymond switched to gatron's sub-personality, single-handedly taking on a modern army would be no problem at all.
