Chapter 2: Six Years Later

Previous Chapter

Several Uber-hailing and Flywheel taxis pass by one after another, their wheels spinning to splash rainwater on the side of the road.

Another Nom-Nom food truck with the theme of selling tacos and delicious French buns passed by, and the fast food truck was a converted minibus with big wheels.

As it drove close to the side of the road, the rain from the wheels splashed farther onto the homeless people who took shelter from the rain under the eaves.

The homeless men were furious, and they all got up and waved their arms to throw a burst of angry scolding of 'Fake Squid', 'Daddy Chasing Virtue', and 'Sunshine Beach' to the dining car.

The driver of the dining car didn't care, just lowered the window and stretched out his hand, raising his middle finger high.

None of this has anything to do with Nan Bowen.

He was concentrating on the beggar system.

With a 'beggar gang' order.

A translucent panel appeared in his field of vision:

'Gang Master, welcome to the official start of creating your gang.

First of all, please choose your faction -

'Clean Clothes Pie, 'Dirty Clothes Pie'

Just like playing a martial arts game on a tablet, two glowing options appeared in front of him.

Nan Bowen is familiar with the road and ordered the option of cleaning clothes.

Although he is very lazy and doesn't pay attention to his appearance, the hero Qiao Feng he likes and the heroine Huang Rong who has seen in many books are both disciples of the Pure Clothes School, so he wants to follow the path of idols.

According to the Beggar Legacy, the current faction selection will determine the appearance of future system reward items.

For example, if a coat is also rewarded, nine times out of ten, the dirty clothes pie will be 'a rat gnawing insect bite through the leather jacket', while the clean clothes pie will be 'slipping and slippery'.

For a young man, how to choose is self-evident.

After the faction is selected, the handwriting on the panel changes, and his personal information and beggar's information appear:

[Name: Beggar Gang.]

Helper: Nan Bowen (Pure Clothes Pie).

Combat effectiveness: 5.

Gang Level: Level 1 (0/100).

Members: 1.

Functions: (1), check-in (every time you check in at the begging point, you will get a reward)

Supplement: Since you activate the system for the first time, you will receive a newbie gift package from the system, please check]

Nan Bowen silently said in his heart: "Check." ”

The content on the panel changes again.

A very festive red envelope appeared on it, and then the envelope opened, and the same bonus light cluster appeared on the panel:

'Transfiguration.

Eighteen drops in clothes.

American English (western accent).

Heroic physique (mortal).

Medicine silver bowl. ’

Nan Bowen reached out and tapped on the transfiguration light cluster.

The ball of light suddenly flew into his brain, and a large amount of information poured in.

The same is true of the light that has fallen into the eighteen falls.

Clusters of light in American English (with a western accent) flew into his mouth.

The silver bowl of light fell into his armsβ€”the most direct of this reward, and it fell into his arms and turned into a silver-white bowl.

Needless to say, this is the begging guy that the system has prepared for him.

The only exception to this is the Hero Physique Light Cluster.

After Nan Bowen touched it, it did not enter his body, but floated in front of his eyes, but he was already informed of how to use it.

The function of this light group is to allow him to obtain other people's physiques, and he needs to find an ordinary person, a sculpture or 3D image of an ordinary person to let the light group understand his physique, and then simulate this body to merge with his body, so that he can have a strong physical fitness as quickly as possible.

He first studied the hero's physique, and then studied other novice rituals.

The easiest to understand is American English, he used to have a very poor level of English, he could only understand 'Hello', 'Fakemi', 'Fake', 'Fake', 'Okay Big' and so on, but now he can understand the communication of the homeless people next to him.

For example, at this time, a homeless man with a sharp beak called several black homeless people together, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, threw it on the ground, and said, "Meeting! Our team has had some shit problems with Falk recently......

The most valuable is transfiguration, a skill that allows him to change his appearance.

In the future, it will be combined with skills such as 'ventriloquism' and 'bone shrinking skills', and it can even allow Nan Bowen to change his appearance, voice, and even body shape to become someone else.

His favorite is the eighteen dips of clothes, a technique practiced by the beginner disciples of the beggar gang, who can grasp the fleeting vacancies and flaws in actual combat, and use the skills of four or two thousand catties to eliminate the enemy at the same time, and fight the enemy with strength.

The only physical reward medicine silver bowl is a magic weapon, after being loaded with food and drinking water, its quality can be identified, and the color change can tell the owner how fresh the food and drinking water is, so as to judge whether it can be eaten.

After having the newbie gift, Nan Bowen's whole state was suddenly different.

Before he was depressed, like a quail in the rain.

Now he is holding his head high, like a female peacock with the screen open.

With his head raised, he saw the face of the owner in the window above his head.

They sheltered from the rain and the house belonged to a white family.

The middle-aged white hostess was looking out of the window at the time of the homeless man sheltering from the rain with a disgusted expression, her brows furrowed, her expression furrowed, and the freckles on her face were wrinkled.

But she didn't dare to drive away these homeless people.

In recent years, the law and order in the city of San Francisco has deteriorated, and the number of homeless people has skyrocketed, and now there are more homeless people, and they are bold to gather together, if this family offends the homeless man who is sheltering from the rain, then his house will definitely be smeared with feces and smashed glass, and the police will not care.

The homeless people know this, so they are unscrupulous and don't care about the landlord's opinion.

Nan Bowen can't.

Noticing the hostess's expression, he immediately got up and walked into the rain.

Don't be disgusted.

After all, he is now the head of a gang and dignified.

The hostess was stunned when she saw this.

Nan Bowen's actions gave her a misunderstanding, making her overestimate the quality of the homeless, thinking that the other homeless people would leave after she showed her disgust, so she knocked on the window with a gloomy face and pointed to the street-

Fuck off!

Seeing this, the old black immediately staggered to his feet, pulled open his pants and pulled out a black leather tube, and slammed at the wall, muttering 'yo, yo' while returning the words.

The other old black stood up and leaned against the window, sticking out his tongue and licking the hostess through the glass.

The hostess fled.

The San Francisco Bay Area has a Mediterranean climate zone.

The normal Mediterranean climate zone generally has hot, dry summers and mild and rainy winters. Affected by the cold snap of California, the Bay Area has a cool summer Mediterranean climate, with relatively low temperatures in summer and mild winters.

But now it's raining, and it's early winter in November, so it's still quite cold when it rains.

Nan Bowen was shivered by the cold rain after walking out of the eaves, and quickly pulled up his collar to try to prevent the rain from falling down his neck.

Walking through the rain, he looked left and right down the street, ready to ask someone how to get to Chinatown.

The reason why he left under the roof was not only because he didn't want to suffer the contempt of his hostess, but also because he wanted to get the hero's physique as soon as possible.

According to the requirements of the hero's physique, he needs to find a person or sculpture to simulate.

And he was in San Francisco at this time.

There is a Chinese hero in San Francisco, and that is Bruce Lee!

When he first escaped from the basement before, he saw a sculpture of Bruce Lee, which was a statue made of copper and iron, which almost restored Bruce Lee's appearance in equal proportions.

So he was ready to get Bruce Lee's physique.

The weather was bad, and there was no one on the street except for the homeless man sheltering from the rain, and he finally saw a house in front of him open the door, and an Asian girl came out.

Nan Bowen walked towards the girl with a smile on his face, opening his mouth to show the western accent he had just acquired: "Hi ......"

"Hi sir. The slender and innocent black-haired girl's cheeks were flushed with puffs, "Are you Chinese?"

Nan Bowen changed Mandarin and said: "Chinese." ”

The girl shrugged slightly, pointed to the door behind her, and said carefully, "We are compatriots, if Lady Elena is not welcome, you can take shelter from the rain in front of my house." ”

"If you want. She then quickly added.

Nan Bowen was stunned for a moment, realizing that the girl had misunderstood what she meant.

The other party thought that he was looking around to find a place to borrow shelter from the rain.

So he smiled and said, "First of all, I thank you for your kindness......"

"No, it's not my kindness," the girl interrupted nervously, hesitated and extended her right hand to him, "but an old uncle told me that if I give this thing to you, you can help my family solve a trouble." ”

She had a strange copper coin in her palm.

This copper coin is similar in style to a one-yuan coin, but the material is bronze, and it is not a national emblem in the middle, but a strange phosphorescent 'xia' character.

Nan Bowen was a little surprised when he heard this, reached out and took the coin, and asked excitedly: "What is this? Which old uncle told you? And what is the trouble in your family?"

The girl was very shy and timid, and was immediately frightened by his attitude, and quickly stepped back and said, "I don't know, it's just a homeless old uncle who gave me ......."

At this moment, the figure of a young woman appeared behind the door and shouted, "Hey, don't touch my daughter!"

When the girl saw her mother going out, she turned around and ran home.

Her family's house is an artisan bungalow, and many middle-class families in the United States like this style of house, with a single courtyard with a lawn, two floors, and just the right space.

Artisan bungalows often have exposed rafters, a wide front porch, wide eaves to shade from the rain and light, and a living room with a door that opens.

When the girl returned to the house, she opened the door and didn't close it, but Nan Bowen didn't go in, just sheltered from the rain under the eaves at the door, and waited for her to go out and continue to ask what was going on.

He looked at the bronze coin, contacted the title of 'old uncle of the vagabond', and guessed that it was a beggar's thing.

It seems that the girl's family is in trouble, and the beggar wanted to help but didn't have time, so he gave the girl a token and asked the girl to find Nan Bowen for help.

Nan Bowen is helpful, especially since he has inherited the extraordinary power of the chivalrous beggar and belongs to the disciple of the chivalrous beggar, but the question is what trouble has happened to the girl's family?

The rain was decreasing, and after about an hour, the clouds were blown away by the sea breeze, and the rain finally stopped.

The girl didn't show up again, only Nan Bowen heard the mother and daughter arguing a few words when she just went to the door to shelter from the rain.

The mother obviously didn't know that the girl was looking for Nan Bowen to help, she thought that her daughter's heart was overflowing and wanted to be a good person, and the girl blamed her mother for not understanding that she finally ran away crying.

It looks like the family won't come out.

Nan Bowen decided to go to Chinatown first.

But before leaving, he thought about it and took off his coat to get busy under the eaves, using it as a rag to wipe off the water stains on the ground under the eaves.

He had to give the young woman a little shock of Chinese quality.

With the skills of American English and a western accent, it is easy for Nan Bowen to communicate with people.

There were many people who came out for a walk after the rain, and he easily inquired about the location of Chinatown.

San Francisco has one of the largest Chinatowns of any city in the United States, with 16 street blocks and more than 100,000 Chinese residents.

There is a gate at the entrance of the street, which is covered with green tiles, and there are several huge and mighty dragon carvings coiled, which is very flavorful of Chinese fantasy culture.

Inside the community, this Chinatown is quite similar to some pedestrian streets in China, densely packed with shops, restaurants, and the doors of every house are marked in simplified and traditional Chinese.

It's easy to find Bruce Lee's bronze sculpture here, and Nan Bowen released a hero's physique into the bronze sculpture.

Soon, a ball of light came out and went directly into his chest.

Then he felt hot all over, and there seemed to be a fire burning under his skin!

Under the scorching heat, he vaguely felt the change in physical fitness and size.

When the heat wore off, he clenched his fists.

The grip is huge.

He got up and jumped again.

Light as a swallow.

The most important thing is that the whole person is full of energy from the inside out, and now he can't wait to meet the few homeless people who robbed him of his clothes yesterday and fight hard!

I'm going to kick your ass hard with my boots!

But there are no homeless people to be found in Chinatown, and there are no homeless relief stations.

So Nan Bowen returned to No. 20 Street in the evening and went to a relief station that he had managed to find the day before yesterday.

Now that the system has a 'check-in' function, he can't wait to see what he can check in.

Maybe I can sign in with a wife with white skin and beautiful long legs?

Although the idea is a bit of a dream.

But the rewards of the system are inexact!
