Chapter 431: Ten Years of Movie Watching, Magic Power Surges (First Update)
However, after the initial joy, Jerry faced a new problem.
The world he was in, the Marvel Main World, was a movie Main World, not a comic or anime world. The settings and plots had significant differences.
The movie series in this world had only progressed to 2012's The Avengers, while his time in the Main World had already reached early 2015.
But upon closer consideration, this issue wasn't too difficult to resolve.
He could simply stay in the Mini World for a few more years.
With his current Red Star storage, continuously using "Brain Boost" wouldn't allow him to stay for a long time, at most about a year and a half before they were depleted.
However, he didn't have to keep it on all the time.
In his current state, "Brain Boost" was still helpful, but he was no longer as dependent on it as before.
As his body grew stronger, his memory and analytical abilities also improved, though not to the same extent as "Brain Boost." With the Merlin Ring, the gap wasn't too significant.
Additionally, he was already a master in Magic, and with the Analytical Magic Array he had invented, his research efficiency in Magic wasn't slow.
If he didn't use "Brain Boost", considering the daily fixed consumption of 100 Red Stars in the Mini World, he could stay for about 13 years.
Of course, he might still use Red Stars for important Magic experiments and research at critical moments.
So, he decided to stay for about ten years, until 2022, which should be fine.
In his previous world, the timeline only reached 2019, when Avengers: Endgame had just been released. A colleague had insisted on dragging him to watch it, but he had to refuse due to a Martial Arts exchange competition he was participating in.
In the end, he didn't even attend the competition and was reborn into this world.
In ten years, the Marvel movie series would likely be mostly complete, and he would have a good grasp of the overall situation.
As for how to spend this long decade?
That was even less of a problem.
In fact, if he found a place to meditate and cultivate his Magic Power, without deliberately paying attention to the passage of time, ten years might fly by in the blink of an eye.
However, that would be too inefficient for overall strength improvement.
After finishing a cup of coffee, he went to the real estate office and bought a villa in Queens. Then, he began watching a large number of movies, TV shows, and anime every day.
Not just the Marvel series, but any story that might involve Magic, he would take the time to find and watch.
There was a good chance that one or two of these stories would become one of the Mini Worlds his Panel would capture in the future.
Besides staying at home to watch TV, the rest of his time was spent researching and refining Magic.
Over the years, he had learned so many Magic spells that he hadn't had the chance to deeply study most of them. This ten-year period would allow him to sit down and thoroughly summarize and research all the Magic he had learned.
Occasionally, he would visit the other continent in the Ring World to check on the development of the Catfolk, perform miracles, and distribute various common seeds to the Holy Flame Catcat Religion, along with items like the Carmen Ring.
The Catfolk, with their numerous talents in various fields and the guidance of the Book of Omniscience, had recovered quite quickly.
Over the years, the City of Carmen has become much more prosperous. The streets are now lined with shops and various vendors, and the fertile lands outside the city have been put to good use, with fields of golden rice, wheat, and rapeseed flowers.
Every year, a large number of newborns are born, and the population of the Catfolk has started to grow.
To make this continent feel more real in the future, Jerry spends a certain amount of time each day expanding the Ring World's area. Using the principles of Magic he has studied from the Reality Gem and the Power Gem, he adds new elements.
As Jerry gains new insights into the essence of the world, he also introduces new laws to the Ring World, making it increasingly resemble a true Mini World.
His magic power has also been growing steadily thanks to the Holy Flame Catcat Faithful, who frequently use Magic to heal the ailments of the congregation.
Over the years, Jerry has researched many healing spells for various diseases, and as a result, the Book of Carmen in Princess Huang's hands now contains many new spells for curing different illnesses.
In the Cat Nation, the Holy Flame Catcat Faithful who possess the Carmen Ring serve both as clerics and doctors.
Time flies, and before he knows it, ten years have passed.
"Thor, that guy, really has had a tough time!"
Sitting in the cinema, Jerry sips his cola and watches the premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder, shaking his head.
Over the past ten years, he has watched all the way from Captain America: The First Avenger to Thor: Love and Thunder.
Thor, once the proud prince of Asgard and the future king, has lost his mother, father, best friend, and brother. Now, even his beloved girlfriend Jane has died of cancer. It's truly a tragic fate.
"Uncle Jerry, goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Kylie!"
After the movie, Jerry waves to a cute blonde little girl.
The man holding the little girl is none other than Jerry's fellow disciple in this world, Dave.
Over the years, Dave has married his college sweetheart, Betty, and they now have a daughter, Kylie, who is seven years old.
During these ten years in New York, Jerry often visits Dave's house and seeks out his teacher in this world, Balthazar. So, in general, he hasn't been too bored.
Saying goodbye to Dave's family, Jerry checks the number of Red Stars on his panel.
"Time to head back!"
He has watched all the new Marvel movies and TV shows released over the past ten years, and his total magic power has more than doubled. He has learned pretty much everything he needed to know.
Although his presence has caused many plot changes, some things remain constant.
For example, Thanos will always try to collect the Infinity Stones for his terrible obsession, and many powerful beings in the Marvel universe, such as the Eternals mentioned in Thor: Love and Thunder, will continue to exist.
Using the Phantom Shift, Jerry returns to his villa. A Spatial ripple follows as he clicks the panel, and he finds himself back in the room of the raider ship in the Main World.
"Ding, two minutes until the Spatial jump. Please fasten your seatbelts!"
As soon as he returns to the room, the ship's announcement for the impending Spatial jump sounds.
According to the notification from Kraglin ten years ago, after passing through this Spatial jump point, they will arrive at the raider's gathering place, Contra Summer.
