"NYPD: Stupid Day!" —The Daily Clarion.

"Farce in Times Square!" - City Daily.

"Daring Monster Thief; Stupid cops. —The Manhattan District Newspaper.

[Legend from New Yorkers +0.01]

[Legend from New Yorkers +0.02]

[Legend +3 from George Stacy]

[Legend from the New York Police +0.03]

[Legend +2 from George Stacy]

[From New York...... Legendary ......】

In the antique shop, Li Ran looked at the system prompts that kept flashing in front of him.

Even through the system, you can still feel the anger of the New York police, after all, this time they are really embarrassed.

Coupled with the media's reports, the New York police became the laughing stock of the entire New York City for a while, and at the same time, it also gave Li Ran a steady stream of legends.

"It would be nice to give more legends."

In this case, if there is anything that makes Li Ran feel dissatisfied, it is the system itself.

The statistical method of the legend degree of the system is quite unfriendly, and the average New York citizen can at most increase his legend degree by about 0.01~0.05, and the indirect report of the media or TV will bring even less, or even in some cases it will not be at all, perhaps because it is not seen with his own eyes, and he cannot leave a deep impression. To put it simply, Li Ran's impression of hundreds of New Yorkers is far less than the legend brought by New York Police Commissioner George Stacy alone.

And the system's statistical method is tantamount to forcing Li Ran to find a figure like New York Police Commissioner George Stacy who can bring high returns to earn legend in disguise.

For example, the likes of Jinju.

Having said that, if Li Ran can, he will not give up the possibility of brushing legends from New York citizens, after all, although the legends from American comic characters are high, not everyone is as 'harmless' as New York Police Commissioner George, and most superheroes or supervillains, whether directly or indirectly, are extremely dangerous.

At least, it's not something that Li Ran can touch now.

In addition, although the legends brought by the citizens of New York are low, they cannot bear the large base of their own.

No, under repeated swiping of the screen, it also brought Li Ran more than 100 legendary degrees, plus the more than 800 legendary degrees he originally had, he only needed a little more effort, and the new treasure chest was in hand.

You can't be lax, you can't treat Kim as a New Yorker or a New York policeman.

Li Ran secretly admonished himself in his heart, and then suppressed the thoughts that were about to move in his heart and returned his attention to his antique shop.

……

Jingle Bell –

With the ringing of the bell in front of the antique store.

Opening the door, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes walked in.

"Welcome, do you need anything?"

The man's obvious Asian appearance made Li Ran look at it more, but then he turned his gaze away and said in welcome.

As the largest immigrant city in the United States, there are not many Asians living in New York City, although there are still many people.

The man's gaze swept over everything in the antique shop, and the various antique goods in the store made him a little more restrained, and asked tentatively: "Boss, are you here to accept antiques?" ”

"Of course."

From the other party's embarrassed posture, Li Ran had actually sensed something, so he didn't say much, and nodded directly.

Also from Kidd the Strange Thief.

After receiving the reply, the man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then took out a tight bracelet from his arms and carefully handed it to Li Ran.

"This bracelet is an heirloom handed down by my wife since her ancestors, boss, can you help me identify it, how much is it worth?"

This is a piece of fake jade.

With the superb and determined skills of the strange thief, just by looking at the first glance, Li Ran had already determined the jade bracelet in the man's hand.

It's just a crude imitation.

"Boss, how much is this bracelet worth?"

Li Ran's gaze withdrew from the man's expectant eyes, looked down at the rough bracelet in front of him, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Fifty." ”

"Fifty?!"

Obviously, there was a big gap between the offer given by Li Ran and what the man expected in his heart, so he couldn't help but say: "Boss, can it be a little higher, I need this money very much." ”

"Fifty, that's already the highest price."

In fact, if the men's bracelet is changed in another store, let alone fifty, even five dollars is too much.

"Fifty? Fifty! Fifty ......"

In the antique shop, the man muttered to himself and struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Fifty, just fifty!" ”

Reaching out and taking the fifty dollars in Li Ran's hand, the man carefully hid it on his body, and finally walked out of the store with a dejected look.

"Another desperate from Hell's Kitchen......"

In the laundry, Old Jack looked at the back of the man leaving and couldn't help sighing.

As a native of Manhattan all his life, Old Jack was used to seeing despondent, desperate people like men.

"Who in Hell's Kitchen doesn't despair."

As one of the most chaotic, dangerous, and impoverished areas of New York, it is a luxury for ordinary people to want to live in peace here.

Even Li Ran himself, it took a lot of effort to gain a firm foothold here.

After chatting casually with the old Jack in the laundry shop, Li Ran returned to the store and swept his eyes over the jade bracelet that was still left on the table.

Casually, he put it away and threw it into the grocery pile next to the antique store.

……

"Mommy, Mommy, Daddy, it's back!"

Hell's Kitchen, damp and narrow ghetto.

The little girl with two pigtails and a somewhat thin appearance shouted to her mother who was lying on the bed.

"How's it going, has the bracelet been sold?" On the bed, a woman with a withered face asked.

Qiang held up a smile and touched his daughter's head, and the man looked at his wife lying on the hospital bed: "It's sold, but the money is not as much as I imagined." ”

"Ahem, how much?"

"Only fifty."

“……”

In the room, after a long silence.

The woman said with difficulty: "Otherwise, don't treat the disease......"

"How can it!" Interrupting his wife's next words with a resolute voice, the man couldn't help but say excitedly: "I will never give up on you." ”

"However, we simply don't have that much money."

"I'll find a way to solve the money thing, if it really doesn't work, I'll go to Mrs. Gao......"

"You're crazy! It's all ...... who work at Mrs. Gao."

"No matter what, it's better than watching you die of illness!"

"Daddy, Mommy."
