Chapter 2: Poor
At night, on a street in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.
The streets are lit with neon, cars are shuttling back and forth along the four-lane road, and there is wild laughter in the nearby bars, interspersed with the sound of quarrels and broken glass.
Qin Hao walked slowly on the sidewalk, and he had just had dinner, so he came out for a walk and felt the night atmosphere of the city.
"It's been a long time since I've done this." With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Qin Hao felt that his tense nerves had relaxed a lot at this moment.
However, there are also things that make Qin Hao not very good, such as some black people passing by will always cast some unfriendly glances, but fortunately, they don't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.
An hour later, Qin Hao came back from a walk. After opening the door with the key, I sat on the sofa in the living room.
Looking at his house, Qin Hao couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Maybe I should live in a different place." ”
Taling assigned him the status of an ordinary Chinese-American teenager who lived on one floor of a dirty apartment with only $2,500 in his bank account and $23 and 7 cents in his pocket.
Poverty is a true manifestation of his current life.
"I don't want to live such a miserable life." Qin Hao snorted, stood up and walked towards his equally small bedroom.
He decided to look tomorrow to see if there was any way to make some money back.
But even if he robbed a bank or something, it wasn't that he was noble, the main thing was that there were many superheroes in this world who liked to act chivalrous, and Qin Hao didn't want to go against them for the time being.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Qin Hao's consciousness entered a layer of space and took out a third-level energy stone.
Of course, this inevitably caused Ta Ling to count down a few more words, and told him to take these things away as soon as possible, or he would have to throw them away.
"Maybe I should get some space gear." Qin Hao held the energy stone in his hand and thought to himself.
However, space equipment or something is not so easy to obtain, Qin Hao thought about a few worlds with similar props for a while, and after thinking about it, he gave up for the time being, after all, those worlds are quite dangerous for him at the moment.
And the main thing is ... It's not up to him to decide which world he shuttles to.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Qin Hao put away the energy stone that had barely diminished, then got up and ran to the small bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then brought his pitiful little dollar and bought a cheap breakfast outside.
Eating a breakfast that was not very tasty, this made Qin Hao even more determined to make some money and come back quickly.
At present, Qin Hao doesn't want to cause trouble in this world, after all, this is his future base camp, and there is no reason for him to make a bad name in the base camp. For the time being, he still wants to maintain this low-key status, anyway, he has many other ways to get money, and he doesn't have to do anything illegal and criminal.
As he was walking, an advertising list was blown up by the wind and flew towards Qin Hao.
With one hand, he grabbed the leaflet.
Looking at the content above, Qin Hao smiled.
"Maybe it's a good choice." Qin Hao muttered.
There is nothing commendable about life in high school, maybe Qin Hao was still a little fresh yesterday, but today he already feels a little boring.
Hastily coped with the day's lessons, Qin Hao didn't have any friends at school, just like his own personality, the identity that Ta Ling arranged for him was very much in line with his appetite.
In the evening, Qin Hao came to the address he saw on the advertising sheet during the day, which was a three-story building that looked quite old.
Pushing the door and walking in, Qin Hao looked left and right, and walked straight towards a tall white man in a black jacket.
Taking out the advertising sheet, Qin Hao pointed and said, "You guys are recruiting fighters, $1,000 a game, right?" ”
The big white man in front of him looked down at him.
Qin Hao's height is about one meter seventy-five now, he doesn't look strong, he feels a little thin when he wears clothes, and from the other party's eyes, Qin Hao sees a disdainful and playful gaze.
"Little one, you want to sign up?" The white man said with a happy smile.
Qin Hao nodded, "Yes, can you lead the way?" ”
The white man laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Qin Hao, "Let's go, I'll take you there, I'm looking forward to your game tonight." ”
What the other party was expecting, Qin Hao was roughly clear after a little thought.
is nothing more than expecting him to be knocked out by his opponent in a few moves, but unfortunately Qin Hao is destined to disappoint him.
Under the leadership of this white man, Qin Hao came to an office, filled out a so-called form casually, signed his name, and then was taken to the player's lounge.
"There's going to be ten games tonight and you're in the first game." The person in charge of leading Qin Hao to the lounge said.
After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
"The first one?" Qin Hao lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Maybe they felt that they could be the first to play to warm up, maybe they planned to let their opponent tear themselves to shreds, but Qin Hao just smiled and didn't care.
Anyway, he will tell them with facts in a moment that small people cannot be underestimated.
Speaking of the little man, Qin Hao thought of Captain America again, and he didn't know if this guy had thawed, but he didn't see any reports about Iron Man on the newspaper news in the past two days, maybe Tony hadn't developed steel armor yet, so Captain America naturally hadn't been discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. yet.
"A lot of the plots haven't started yet, and that's a good thing." Finding a random place to sit down, Qin Hao held his chin with one hand and thought.
At this time, the other people in the lounge also looked at him, it was really Qin Hao's appearance that was too special here, look at the others, which one is not tall and tall, more than one meter nine. Look at him again, he is 1.75 meters tall, thin and thin, and he doesn't look like much muscle, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match everything here.
At this time, the door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside. Bare. A white man in a top body walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, the white man said loudly with a giggle: "Hi~! Guys, I heard there's going to be a rookie tonight, and it seems like he's been scheduled for the first game, so I really hope I can be his opponent. ”
The people in the lounge looked at Qin Hao one after another, and the white man who had just entered the door also noticed him, and immediately laughed.
"Man, you're a good seed!" The white man said with a smile.
Qin Hao shrugged noncommittally, then opened his backpack and took out his own clothes from it.
Dressed in a white power suit and a black mask.
This is prepared to avoid being recognized and causing a lot of trouble.
Put on your costume and the game outside is almost about to start.
A staff member walked over with a form, "You, the new arrival, do you have a code name?" ”
Qin Hao glanced at him and said lightly, "Death." ”
