MTL - Marvel: Unlimited Possession-Chapter 2 antique shop
"James, do you have time this weekend?"
In the cafe on the corner of Manhattan, a girl with beautiful blonde hair gathered up her courage and invited the Asian man in front of her.
"I'm sorry, Jennifer," The girl's golden hair really caught Li Ran's attention. If he could, he naturally wouldn't want to miss the chance to date her. Unfortunately, thinking of the upcoming important events, Li Ran had no choice but to refuse: "I have very important work this weekend, so..."
"Really?" The girl Jennifer's face showed obvious disappointment.
"But next week, I have some free time after the matter is over, if Jennifer, you still..."
"Of course, I have time these two weeks." Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but blurt out, and then she realized that she was a little too reserved, but she continued with a blushing face: "Then it's settled, James, we're going out together next week."
"certainly."
Li Ran nodded and watched the girl leave happily, then lowered her head and drank the rest of the coffee on the table.
I have some regrets in my heart, how wonderful it would be if I was in an ordinary world. In this way, he doesn't need to worry about facing all kinds of threats, and he doesn't need to worry about a guy who cares about the birth plan of the whole universe, thinking about the problem of snapping his fingers.
Why did it happen that it came to the world of high-risk superhumans like Meiman, where superheroes are flying all over the sky.
That's right, Li Ran is not from this world.
When he first traveled to New York two years ago, he was still thinking about writing scripts, making movies, and having fun in Hollywood.
Until one day, when he learned that there are Osborn Enterprises, Stark Industries, and a kingdom called Wakanda in Africa, as well as rumors about the Manhattan Hell's Kitchen vigilantes circulating in the streets. Only then did I know that my Hollywood movie dream was shattered, and the difficulty of traversal jumped from the original ordinary difficulty to the **** difficulty.
After coming out of the cafe, Li Ran walked back along Manhattan's Eighth Avenue, passed through the crowds, avoided the gathering places of certain gangs, and stopped near West Midtown, commonly known as Hell's Kitchen. A small antique appraisal shop appeared in front of him.
"James, you still came so early today."
"Hard work is one of my great strengths, Jack." Li Ran greeted the old Jack at the laundry next door with a smile, opened the door, and flipped the sign hanging on the door to the opening side.
In the antique shop, there is a dazzling variety of goods, but most of them are just appearances. A large part of them are wholesale goods that Li Ran went to Chinatown to find. The price is only a few to ten dollars. The most expensive is also It won't be more than 30 knives. In short, even if the entire antique store is patronized and looted by thieves one day, it will not cause too much loss to Li Ran.
Of course, now, there shouldn't be such an eye-opening guy anymore.
Because everyone in the Eighth Road knows that James Lee, a dangerous guy in the antique shop, at least is not someone they can easily provoke.
In the antique shop, Li Ran summoned the system.
Like most traversers, Li Ran also has a system, but this system is neither as intelligent as it is said to be, nor does it give him various tasks.
Li Ran's system currently only has two functions. The first is to accumulate fame or impression. Simply put, the more influence Li Ran has on certain people, the higher the reputation he can get. According to Li Ran's experience, it seems that the more famous people are in the world of American comics, the more legendary they can get.
The second function is actually the role of the reputation. Li Ran can open various treasure chests in the system through the accumulated popularity. The popularity required to open the treasure chests ranges from 100 to a maximum of 1 million. not wait.
The items in the treasure chest are also different.
[Wooden Treasure Chest] 100 Legend (100) After opening, you will get E-level cards and some useless props.
[Dark Iron Treasure Chest] 1000 Legend (1,000) After opening, you will get D-level cards, C-level card fragments, and small items.
[Bronze Treasure Chest] 10,000 Legend (10,000) will get C-level cards, B-level card fragments, and props after opening.
[Silver Treasure Chest] 100,000 Legend (100,000) will be opened to get B-level cards, A-level card fragments, and random powerful items.
[Golden Treasure Chest] 1,000,000 Legend (one million) will be opened to get A-level cards, S-level card fragments, and character-specific props.
As for the props, we can leave it out for now, because so far Li Ran has not drawn any too powerful props.
On the other hand, cards are the key core capability of the entire system.
Li Ran will gain the abilities of various characters from the cards drawn from the system treasure chest. Leaving aside some purely funny E-level quest cards, the most important thing in Li Ran's hands at present is a D-level one that takes half a year to accumulate the legend. card.
[D-rank card - Kaito Kidd]
[Skills: Magic~www.novelbuddy.com~ Cross-dressing, Escape, Appraising Treasures]
[Background introduction: A legendary and world-renowned strange thief. The international criminal code is 1412. He has extraordinary intelligence and is proficient in disguise, voice change, and escape techniques. He targets all kinds of precious artworks such as jewelry, and uses magic techniques to commit crimes. the super thief. 】
That's right, the whole New York media reported that the phantom thief Kidd, who was being pursued by the police, was actually Li Ran behind the hidden truth.
The reason why he took so much pains to use the identity of the phantom thief was naturally for the sake of fame.
Back then, in order to get the 1,000-point reputation that could open the [Black Iron Treasure Chest], Li Ran had to suffer a lot, especially in Manhattan, which is known as Hell's Kitchen. The legendary degree required for the [Dark Iron Treasure Chest].
Simply, Li Ran was not disappointed by the final result.
Especially the card of Kaitou Kid, which is simply a weapon for gaining popularity. In less than a month, Li Ran has already accumulated nearly 800 popularity.
As long as he does another big one, the [Dark Iron Treasure Chest] will beckoning to him.
No wonder Li Ran is so obsessed with opening the treasure chest. The key is that being in the Marvel world is too insecure. Even if you live a quiet and peaceful life without provoking anything, one day it will suddenly happen from downtown New York. A group of aliens flew in to send you to see God.
After finally crossing into this world, even if this world is not very friendly, Li Ran doesn't want to see God or other existences so early.
So, naturally, he can only make frequent appearances in front of New York citizens, and use the phantom thief Kidd's vest to try his best to gain fame.
