Chapter 2 Antique Stores

"James, do you have time this weekend?"

In the cafe on the corner of Manhattan, a girl with beautiful blonde hair gathered up her courage and invited the Asian man in front of her.

"Sorry, Jennifer," The girl's golden hair really caught Li Ran's attention, and he naturally wouldn't want to miss the chance to date her if he could. Unfortunately, thinking of the upcoming important events, Li Ran had no choice but to refuse: "I have very important work this weekend, so..."

"Really?" The girl Jennifer's face showed obvious disappointment.

"But next week, I'll have some free time after the event is over, if Jennifer you were still..."

"Of course, I have time in these two weeks." Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but blurt out, and then she realized that she was a little too reserved, but she continued with a blushing face: "Then it's settled, James, we're going out together next week."

"certainly."

Li Ran nodded, watching the back of the girl leave happily, then lowered his head and drank the rest of the coffee on the table.

I have some regrets in my heart, how wonderful it would be if I was in an ordinary world. In this way, he doesn't need to worry about facing various threats, and he doesn't need to worry about a guy who cares about the birth plan of the whole universe, thinking about snapping his fingers.

Why did it happen that it came to the world of high-risk superhumans like Meiman, where superheroes are flying all over the sky.

That's right, Li Ran is not from this world.

When he just traveled to New York two years ago, he was still thinking about his dream of writing scripts, making movies, and having fun in Hollywood.

Until one day, when he learned that there are Osborn Enterprises, Stark Industries, and a kingdom called Wakanda in Africa, and rumors about the Manhattan Hell's Kitchen vigilantes circulating in the streets. Only then did I know that my Hollywood movie dream was shattered, and the difficulty of traversal jumped from the original ordinary difficulty to the hell difficulty.

After coming out of the cafe, Li Ran walked back along Manhattan's Eighth Avenue, passing through the crowds, avoiding the gathering places of certain apparently specific gangs, and stopping near West Midtown, commonly known as Hell's Kitchen. A small antique appraisal shop appeared in front of him.

"James, you still came so early today."

"Hard work is one of my great virtues, Jack." Li Ran greeted the old Jack at the laundry next door with a smile, opened the door, and flipped the sign hanging on the door to the opening side.

In the antique store, there is a dazzling variety of goods, but in fact, most of them are just appearances. A large part of them are wholesale goods that Li Ran went to Chinatown to find. The price is only a few to ten dollars. The most expensive is also It won't be more than 30 knives. In short, 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 shouldn't be any more such an eye-opening guy.

Because everyone in the eighth way knows that James Li of the antique shop is a dangerous guy, at least not someone they 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 it is said to be, nor does it give him various tasks.

Li Nuo's system currently only has two functions. The first is to accumulate fame or impression. Simply put, the deeper the impression Li Nuo has on certain people, the higher the reputation he can get. , and according to Li Nuo's experience, it seems that the more famous people are in the world of American comics, the more legendary they can get.

The second function is actually the role of fame. Li Nuo can open various treasure chests in the system through the accumulated fame.

The Legendary required to open the chests varies from one hundred to a maximum of one million.

The items in the treasure chest are also different.

[Wooden Treasure Chest] 100 Legend (100) will give E-class cards and some useless props after opening.

[Dark Iron Treasure Chest] 1000 Legend (1,000) opens and you will get D-level cards, C-level card fragments, and small items.

[Bronze Treasure Chest] 10,000 Legend (10,000) will be opened to get C-level cards, B-level card fragments, and items.

[Silver Treasure Chest] 100,000 Legend (100,000) will be opened to get B-level cards, A-level card fragments, and random powerful items.

[Golden Treasure Chest] 1,000,000 Legend (one million) will be opened to get A-level cards, S-level card fragments, and character-specific items.

The props part can be ignored for a while, because so far Li Ran has not drawn any too powerful props.

It is the card, which is the key core capability of the entire system.

Li Ran will gain the abilities of various characters from the cards drawn from the system treasure chest. Leaving aside some purely funny E-level quest cards, the most important thing in Li Ran's hands at present is a D-level one that takes half a year to accumulate the legend. card.

[D-Class Card - Kaito Kidd]

[Skills: Magic, Cross-dressing, Escape, Appraisal]

[Background introduction: A legendary and world-renowned strange thief. The international criminal code is 1412. He has extraordinary intelligence and is proficient in disguise, voice change, and escape techniques. He targets all kinds of precious artworks such as jewelry, and uses magic techniques to commit crimes. the super thief. 】

That's right, causing the entire New York media to report that the phantom thief Kidd, who was being pursued by the police, was actually Li Ran behind the hidden truth.

The reason why he took such pains to use the identity of the phantom thief was naturally for the sake of fame.

Back then, in order to get the 1,000-point reputation that could open the [Black Iron Treasure Chest], Li Ran had to suffer a lot, especially in Manhattan, known as Hell's Kitchen. He worked diligently for half a year before saving The legendary degree required for the [Dark Iron Treasure Chest].

Simply, the result of the final opening did not disappoint Li Ran.

Especially the card of Phantom Thief Kidd is simply a weapon for gaining popularity. In just a few months, Li Nuo has accumulated nearly 800 popularity.

As long as he does another big deal, the [Black Iron Treasure Chest] will beckoning to him.

No wonder Li Nuo is so obsessed with opening the treasure chest. The key is that being in the Marvel world is too insecure. Even if you live a quiet and quiet life without provoking anything, one day you will be in the center of New York City. Suddenly a group of aliens flew in to send you to see God.

After finally crossing into this world, even if this world is not very friendly, Li Nuo doesn't want to see God or other existences so early.

Therefore, it is only natural to frequently appear in front of New York citizens, and use the phantom thief Kidd's vest to try his best to gain popularity.
