Chapter 5 Summary after the first task (today's three more words exceeded 10,000 for collection, thank you)
Wild Swan Bar is one of the few establishments in the Sixth Block that is open until the early hours of the morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBecause the actual controller of the Wild Swan Bar is one of the leaders of the Stanton gang - Hasson Swinton. The Sixth Block is the traditional sphere of influence of the Stanton Gang, so no one has ever dared to trouble the Wild Swan Bar.
The Wild Swan Bar also became a hangout for drunkards, gamblers, and junkies near the Sixth Block. On the corner of the second floor of the Wild Swan Bar, there is a specially guarded room. This room is where the leaders of the Stanton Gang in the Sixth Block gather. Generally speaking, the distribution and distribution of haygrass (large... hemp) are carried out in this room.
Today is not the day for the gang to settle accounts, and there are no new haws to distribute in the Sixth Block. The Stanton gang's boss in the Sixth Block, Hason Swinton, is gambling and playing cards with a group of small bosses. "Why has Zoon been gone for so long, and he can't come back to play. On Hassen's left-hand side, a small leader who helped him distribute Hawgrass at a nearby high school complained. Hasan was also a little impatient to wait, and Zoon had lost a lot at the table before, almost more than $7,000.
Zoon said he was going to go out and "make some money" and then come back and play again. As Zoon's boss, Hasson knows very well what Zoon means by "making money". As the number one thug under Hasen, Zoon did these things with his hands. But it's been a little too long to go out today.
Hassan tried to call Joon's phone, but no one answered. Hasson was about to send his younger brother out to find Zoen, but before he could open the door, he was interrupted by a sharp knock on the door. When Hasson opened the door to see who was knocking on the door, he saw that Zoon, who was about to let people go out to look for him, was carried in like a dead dog.
Both hands are obviously broken and misplaced, and many ribs on the left side are obviously broken, and it seems that Zuo En is also showing symptoms of internal bleeding, and his mouth has begun to vomit blood! Hassan was instantly furious, who dared to beat his top thug like this in the territory of the Stanton Gang! This is not to give face to the Stanton Gang, and it is also not to give him Huson Swinton's face! "Find out who did it! I'm going to throw him into the sea!" "Hassan Swinton said angrily.
Li Jie returned home before twelve o'clock, ignoring his father's frowning and asking who he was going out on a date. Instead, I went back to the room and clicked to open the task in the system to view today's results.
Daily tasks for novice heroes: 1. Gain 100 reputation points (5 have been obtained) [Reputation is the cornerstone of a hero's growth, the higher the reputation, the faster the growth. ć
2. Prevent the occurrence of ten crimes. (Completed 1) [Heroes should be hoeing the strong and helping the weak, it's time to put your red underpants outside!] ć
3. Prevent the occurrence of three vicious crimes. (0 completed) [Crime!Vicious crime!Murder~Sexual assault~Child kidnapping!Please be sure to stop these crimes!Gain a lot of reputation!]
Complete the daily quests of the Novice Hero to earn rewards: an E-Rank Hero Training Card, and a random E-Rank item.
I didn't expect to complete only one task after wandering for one night today, and get a reputation reward of no more than five points. Li Jie summed up a little about today's failures.
First: It is too early to go out, and most crimes occur after 10 o'clock at night. It's useless to go out too early.
Second: The psychological quality is still not good, although it seems easy to deal with bald men today. But in fact, there were two distractions, one was when he was stabbed by the tip of a knife before he reacted, and the other was when the bald man's left fist almost hit his head. If it weren't for the bonus of internal strength and basic fighting, I am afraid that I would be beaten to the bottom by a bald man casually.
Third: Lack of adequate preparation, reckless and go out. Because he didn't have any preparation, he actually went out empty-handed. Fortunately, the bald man I met today was just holding a switchblade, and if he had a pistol in his hand, it would probably be hanging today. Prepare at least one weapon yourself in case you need it.
Li Jie summed it up and found that he really had a lot of shortcomings, and today should be considered lucky not to encounter a bandit with a gun, otherwise he might have ended. It seems that you need to prepare a little more before you go out to do a task next time.
Li Jie did not go to sleep immediately after taking a bath, but sat on the bed in a cross-legged manner. He is cultivating his internal strength in the systematic teaching of "Teng Jiao Gong". Although the newcomer's hero package allows him to directly have the internal strength of "Teng Jiaogong" at the level of Xiaocheng. But Li Jie felt that this was far from enough, and if he wanted to become stronger, he would need more cultivation.
Moreover, the system has introduced that "Tengjiao Gong" belongs to a relatively peaceful internal strength. Just practice a few more times, so that the bloodline can remember the way the internal force works. The body can practice internal strength all the time, whether it is walking or sleeping, it will cultivate independently, instead of sitting cross-legged and cultivating like now.
After all, Li Jie is a human being in two lives, and his patience is very good. Although it was very boring to sit cross-legged and practice internal strength, he was still able to endure it. If you change to Peter Parker, a child with ADHD, I guess 20 minutes is the limit.
This time, Li Jie practiced for a full five hours, and in the last three hours, he actually fell asleep cross-legged like this. However, in his sleep, he was still thinking about the cultivation of internal strength, and he actually let the cultivation of internal strength not stop, and directly reached the state of independent cultivation as the system said.
Li Jie woke up and found that his internal force was still running endlessly after he fell asleep, and he was really happy. And after perceiving it carefully, the internal qi has indeed grown a little, although it is not very obvious, but the change is indeed real. If the internal force can be cultivated independently in the future, Li Jie will be able to spare a lot of time to do the tasks given by the system. Do not forget that the tasks given by the system are also an important means of strengthening yourself.
Li Jie only rested for five hours a night, to be precise, he only slept for three hours, and he already felt that the fatigue of his whole body had been swept away. I feel like I've never had such good energy. This should be the benefit of cultivating internal strength. Li Jie looked at the sky outside, it was now more than five o'clock in the morning in May, and the sun had just broken down.
Anyway, I can't sleep, so I simply get up to exercise and practice more of the basic abilities I have acquired. In the backyard of his house, Li Jie practiced the skills of grappling and punching in basic fighting, then went to the garage to find a stick left over from carpentry, and practiced the stick skills in the basic cold weapon use skills again. It wasn't until half past six in the morning that I said hello to my mother, Gasley, who had just gotten up to prepare breakfast, and went to take a bath.
After breakfast, Li Jie drove his second-hand Ford car to school, and drove less than two blocks to meet Peter Parker, who was skateboarding and preparing to go to school.
"Hey~ Peter, get in the car, buddy!" Li Jie directly parked the car next to Peter Parker and beckoned. "Oh~ Thanks, just enough to take your ride. Peter Parker threw the skateboard right into the trunk and took the co-pilot seat himself.
"Wow~ Oh, Jason. When did you get a new sound system for your car? Peter Parker often hitchhikes with Leejay, and when he gets in the car, he discovers that the car's audio system has been clearly modified. It used to be a very old-fashioned cassette audio system, but now it has a new system with a USB socket that can read modern storage devices.
"In the first two days of the HSD trip, I had been helping out in the back kitchen of my grandfather's restaurant and making some pocket money. I spent $400 on this set of second-hand equipment and a matching horn, which was removed from the Mercedes. It took me three nights to get it ready. Li Jie replied. "You know, Peter, it's not a good idea to buy a music cassette right now. So I think it's well spent. ā
"That's a must, come and play music buddy!" Peter picked a Queen song to play. "Oh~ the music is awesome, it's a shame I don't know how to cook like you. Otherwise, the salary of going to the back kitchen of the restaurant as a second chef is very good. Peter said with some envy.
"Oh~ Come on, I can only cook, and I'm not good at anything else. You're going to study at MIT. Mr. Peter Parker, a scientist of the future. Li Jie said half-jokingly and half-seriously. "Actually, I don't really want to apply to MIT right now, because it's hard to get a full scholarship there. If only half of the scholarship can be given, or even less. You know, Jason, Uncle Ben is very old. If I were to go to MIT, it would take a lot of money. The conversation went on, and Peter Parker had some bitterness here.
Li Jie knew the situation of Peter's family very well, and Ben Parker was Peter's uncle, an excellent electrician. Worked in a large shopping mall and was responsible for managing the strong and weak current distribution room of the mall. And Aunt Peter, May, is just an ordinary supermarket cashier. Ben's salary income is not bad, about $60,000 a year, but Aunt May can only get more than $20,000 a year. By American standards, $80,000 is considered middle-class.
If that $80,000 is in other states, then life is good. But this is New York, the most expensive area in the United States. Peter Parker's Metropolitan High School is a private school that has one of the highest quality of teaching in New York, but tuition is also expensive.
Li Jie has to pay nearly $7,500 a year in tuition, while Peter Parker has received a $2,500 annual scholarship because of his excellent academic performance, and only needs to pay $5,000 a year in tuition. After deducting the daily expenses and taxes paid by Peter's family of three, as well as the medical insurance they purchased, there is almost no money left in Peter's family.
Peter is also 17 years old this year, in fact, he also wants to have a car, even if it is a second-hand car like Li Jie, he will be very satisfied. But Peter Parker is sensible and never bothered the family with such problems. No matter how majestic Spider-Man is in the future, but now Peter Parker is just a bitter little ****.
Seeing Peter Parker's depressed mood, Li Jie didn't know how to comfort him. "Hmm~ Peter, if you have time during the summer vacation, would you like to help me do odd jobs to earn some pocket money?"
