She tried all ten fingers, wondering whether Mandarin had any basis or simply relied on intuition. Daisy also felt that her right ring finger was particularly suitable for wearing the Disintegration Ring.
Practicality was paramount, and she didn't care about any symbolic meaning of her right ring finger. She just put the ring on directly.
"Danger, are you there?" she asked.
"Miss, I'm here."
"Good, raise the targets. Let's test the power."
The training ground originally located in Washington was a bit cramped after all. Now that she had the money, naturally, she would get a good one.
The two nostalgic-looking windmill cottages outside the villa were demolished, with one being rebuilt into a fully equipped physical training ground and the other one being Danger's old haunt—The Danger Room, the hard light holographic simulation training ground that moved Lorna to tears.
The main control was still given to Danger, but Daisy didn't completely rely on artificial intelligence. Maki also had management authority here.
The underground platforms opened, and targets rose one by one.
Some were made of chromium alloy, some wore polymer Kevlar combat suits, and there were even two rubber targets.
"Danger, can you adjust the output power to make the ring's attacks normalized?" This design, where all the energy was released in one go after twenty minutes of charging, was quite annoying, to be honest.
Danger poured cold water on her excitement. "Sorry, Miss, we can't modify the core functionality of the ring. But we can control the output power, although the energy will still be depleted in one go."
The additional function developed by Danger was better than nothing. Daisy didn't want a beam to shoot out for kilometers; after all, this was her territory nearby.
As for the long cooldown time, there was nothing she could do about it. Mandarin couldn't figure it out even after a hundred years of research, and neither could they. If it couldn't be modified, it couldn't be modified. It was just a waste of time to experiment every twenty minutes.
She instructed the people and pets in the villa to stay away from the training ground and then tried shooting at the chromium alloy metal target. With her right hand clenched into a fist, she aimed the ring at the target. In a flash of thought, a thin silver-white line shot out.
The silver line pierced through the metal target effortlessly and continued to charge out of her training ground for a hundred meters before the energy was depleted.
There was a hole in the middle of the metal target the size of two fingers. Daisy touched around the edge of the hole, but there were no burrs or signs of high-temperature burning, as if the hole had always been there.
The walls of the training ground were the same, whether it was brick or steel hidden inside the walls—they were all penetrated.
"Danger, how much energy did that last shot use?" Daisy asked.
"4.5% of the energy."
She was speechless for a moment. Not even one-fifth of the energy had been used, and she couldn't figure out how the aliens had initially made the ring. The silver line wasn't a traditional cutting or piercing—it disrupted the atomic level, causing the overall structure of the material to change irreversibly.
Words like "powerful" and "unbelievable" were inadequate to describe this ring. With a cooldown time of 20 minutes, it was tolerable even in the face of such formidable attack power.
For the rest of the day, she conducted various tests, taking 20-minute break after each one, using this time to play with Dumpling, entertain Lorna, or practice martial arts with Maki.
In any case, the day passed by in a blur.
The test results were inconclusive; she didn't find any material that the Atomic Cutter couldn't cut through, not even the remaining scraps of secondary adamantium alloy she had. (T/N: In some places, the translation for the Disintegration Ring is the Atomic Cutter)
However, Danger reminded her that the Atomic Cutter still couldn't bypass energy-based defenses, meaning energy shields could still provide protection. Daisy thought for a while and couldn't think of anyone around her who possessed such a high-end skill as an energy shield.
Jean probably had an energy shield, but she was afraid that the excitement of life and death situations might cause Jean to turn dark directly, which would be a huge problem.
She really wanted to find someone tough to test the ring, like the Hulk or Blonsky, but unfortunately, one was on the run and the other was in custody, so she didn't have the opportunity.
"How can I control magnetism? Ah—!" Lorna struggled in the Danger's training ground again, spending half a day trying. No matter how she sensed, she couldn't see any shadow of superpowers except for green hair.
"Miss Lorna, you're still young. According to Professor Charles' records, even if there's a genetic mutation at your age, it will take several years to truly master it. Your cells are currently unstable due to the effects of puberty," Danger made a relatively authoritative explanation.
Lorna turned to Daisy, this guy who said it was easy to control her powers.
Daisy really didn't know about puberty and powers, but now that she thought about it, what Danger said made sense.
To show her apology, she planned to take Lorna out for a drive. Lorna had been eyeing her Porsche for some time.
Daisy drove her Porsche, listening to music as she drove.
She wasn't driving very fast; after all, there were speed limits on the roads. Even so, Lorna was standing on the seat, facing the air, shouting excitedly.
But after two shouts, her mouth was filled with wind and had to sit down again, which made Daisy laugh.
"Don't laugh!" Lorna frowned and seemed to have made up her mind. She asked, "Shouldn't I go to school?"
Daisy did think about it. She didn't have time to take care of children, and it wouldn't hurt for kids to interact with their peers and learn some knowledge.
Initially, she wanted to send Lorna to Xavier's School, but she privately asked Storm a couple of questions, and Storm didn't think it was a good idea. Professor Charles might accept Lorna, and Storm would agree out of respect for Daisy, but the opinions of the others were uncertain.
Opinions from Cyclops and Jean needed to be considered, and Storm subtly mentioned that their current relationship with Magneto was becoming increasingly tense, so it was best not to do anything that could provoke the situation.
Daisy had to give up. Her idea was to let Lorna go to middle school; there were seven and eight grades, a total of two academic years, and high school consisted of grades nine to twelve, four academic years.
"Let's go take a look first, and if you don't like it, I won't force you," Daisy promised, which relieved Lorna. It's not to say how deep a relationship she has with Daisy, but with no one to control her, playing crazily every day was what attracted her the most about the Long Island villa.
"Hey, beautiful? Nice car," a young man's handsome face appeared at the window while they were waiting at a traffic light.
Daisy glanced casually and almost stepped on the accelerator to rush out.
The young man's eye sockets were slightly sunken, giving a feeling of being unable to see through. His thick eyebrows grew rebelliously upwards, his nose was high and straight, and his features were handsome. From his neck down, his muscles were even more well-developed.
Daisy's expression was one of disbelief. Who was this? Captain America?!
