Chapter 2 Antique Shops
"James, do you have time this weekend?"
In a café on a corner in Manhattan, a girl with beautiful blond hair plucked up her courage and extended an invitation to the Asian man in front of her.
"I'm sorry, Jennifer," the girl's blonde hair really attracted Li Ran's attention, and he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to date her if he could. It's a pity that thinking of the upcoming important events, Li Ran still had to reluctantly refuse: "I have a very important job this weekend, so I ......"
"Yes." The girl Jennifer's face showed a look of obvious disappointment.
"But next week, I'll have some free time after it's over, if Jennifer you're still ...... at that time"
"Of course, I have time for both weeks." Hearing this, the girl couldn't help blurting out, and then realized that she was a little too unreserved, but she still blushed and continued: "Then it's decided, Jeffes, let's go out together next week." ”
"Of course."
Li Ran nodded, watched the girl's back leave happily, lowered his head and drank the remaining coffee on the table.
I have some regrets in my heart, how nice it would be if I were in an ordinary world. In this way, he doesn't need to face all kinds of threats with fear, and he doesn't have to worry about someone who cares about the birth plan of the whole universe, and he is thinking about the question of snapping his fingers.
How did you just wear it into the world of high-risk transcendents like American comics, which is full of superheroes.
That's right, Li Ran is not from this world.
When he first traveled to New York two years ago, he still dreamed of writing scripts, making movies, and playing with Hollywood.
Until one day, when he learned that there were Osborne Enterprises, Stark Industries, and a kingdom called Wakanda in Africa, and the rumors about the Hell's Kitchen vigilantes in Manhattan that were circulating in the streets. Only then did I know that my Hollywood movie dream was shattered, and the difficulty of crossing suddenly jumped from the original ordinary difficulty to the hellish difficulty.
Emerging from the café, Li Ran walked back down Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, through the crowds, avoiding the gathering places of some apparently specific gangs, and stopping near West Midtown, commonly known as Hell's Kitchen. A small antique appraisal shop appears in front of you.
"James, you're still here so early today."
"Hard work, but one of my great strengths, Jack." Li Ran smiled and said hello to Old Jack from the laundry shop next door, opened the door of the store, and flipped the sign hanging at the door to the opening side.
In the antique store, there are a dazzling array of various goods, but in fact, most of them are just kind goods, a large part of which is the wholesale goods that Li Ran went to Chinatown to find, the price is only a few to a dozen dollars, and the most expensive will not exceed thirty dollars, simply put, 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, nowadays, there should be no more such blind guys.
Because the people of the eighth road know that the antique shop of James. Lee's dangerous guys, at least not the existence that their gang minions 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 the legend, nor will it issue him all kinds of tasks.
Li Ran's system currently only has two functions, the first is to accumulate legends or impressions, simply put, the deeper Li Ran's impression of the influence caused by certain people, the higher the legend degree that can be obtained, and according to Li Ran's experience, it seems that the more famous characters in the American comic world, the higher the legend degree can be obtained.
The second function, in fact, is the role of the legend degree, Li Ran can open all kinds of treasure chests in the system through the accumulated legend degree, and the legend degree required to open the treasure chest ranges from one hundred to the highest one million.
The contents of the treasure chest are also varied.
【Wood Chest】 100 Legendary (100) After opening, you will get E-rank cards and some useless props.
【Black Iron Treasure Chest】 1000 Legendary Degrees (1,000) After opening, you will get D-rank cards, C-rank card fragments, and props.
【Bronze Treasure Chest】 10,000 Legend (10,000) After opening, you will get C-level cards, B-level card fragments, and props.
【Silver Treasure Chest】 After opening 100,000 Legend (100,000), you will get B-level cards, A-level card fragments, and random powerful items.
【Golden Treasure Chest】 After opening 1,000,000 Legend (1 million), you will get A-rank cards, S-level card fragments, and character-exclusive items.
The part of props can be left aside for the time being, because Li Ran has not drawn any too powerful props so far.
Cards, on the other hand, are the key core competencies of the entire system.
Through the cards issued by the system treasure chest, Li Ran will obtain the abilities of various characters, leaving behind some purely funny E-level task cards, and the most important thing in Li Ran's hand at present is a D-level card that has taken more than half a year to accumulate legends.
[D-Rank Card - Kidd the Thief]
[Skills: Magic, Cross-dressing, Escape, Treasure Appreciation]
[Background introduction: A legendary, internationally renowned monster thief, the international criminal code is 1412, with extraordinary intelligence, proficient in disguise, voice changing, escape techniques, with jewelry and other valuable works of art as the goal, using magic techniques to commit crimes. 】
That's right, the entire New York media reported that the real face behind the strange thief Kidd who was chased by the police was actually Li Ran.
The reason why he took such pains to use the identity of the strange thief was naturally for the sake of legend.
I think that at the beginning, Li Ran didn't know how much he suffered in order to be able to get the 1,000 legendary points that could open the [Black Iron Treasure Chest], especially in Manhattan, which is known as Hell's Kitchen, he worked diligently for more than half a year to save up the legendary degree needed by the [Black Iron Treasure Chest].
simply, the final result did not disappoint Li Ran.
Especially the card of the monster thief Kidd, it is simply a weapon to harvest the legend, and in just over a month, Li Ran has already saved nearly eight hundred or so legends.
As long as he does another big one, the [Black Iron Treasure Chest] will beckon to him.
No wonder Li Ran is so obsessed with opening treasure chests, the key is because being in the Marvel world is too insecure, even if you live a quiet life without provoking anything, one day a group of aliens will suddenly fly from the center of New York to send you to God.
It was not easy to cross over to this world, even if this world was not very friendly, Li Ran didn't want to meet God or something else so early.
Therefore, naturally, he can only frequently appear in front of the citizens of New York, and desperately brush up the legend with the help of the monster thief Kidd's vest.
