As the Golden Crow sets in the west, New York City loses its sunshine and is replaced by neon lights.
In the wealthy areas, the feasting nightlife begins.
In the slums, a nightlife filled with bullets and bullets began.
Cao Gui's residence is a rich area among the poor areas. It is a poor area among the rich areas. Fortunately, although there is no feasting and entertainment, it is not full of bullets or bullets.
On the bed in the bedroom, Cao Gui leaned on the pillow and quilt, half lying on the bed, with a bandage on his forehead.
It looked a bit miserable, but in fact it was not a big problem. The yellow-toothed robber struck very carefully. His blows caused blood, but he did not hurt his head, not even a mild concussion.
But don't think that the Huangya robber had good intentions. He just wanted to torture Cao Gui. The doctor took more than ten stitches on Cao Gui's head to heal the wound.
The doctor's skills were very good. Not only did he sew well, he also cleverly used his hair to cover up the bandage. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see it at all.
Of course, Cao Gui paid a lot, and the US$1,000 shrank by 70%.
In Great America, poor people don't deserve to get sick.
But to be honest, luck played a big part in him being able to kill that gangster today.
Those four people had good marksmanship, excellent tactical coordination, and were decisive in killing. If the situation went wrong, the first thing they wanted to do was to leave. They even acted ruthlessly by silencing their teammates when they were injured and keeping it secret.
But it happened that the Yellow Tooth Robber was a swindler. Not only did he recklessly end up killing one of them, but he also gave the remaining two people a classic "big handicap, big handicap" sentence, which ultimately ruined the remaining two people's chance of survival.
Of course, he, Cao, was not bad either. When the opponent had made a big harvest and was about to escape, he relaxed his vigilance, so he directly launched a sneak attack on the opponent, and neatly took one of his victims.
Later, he relied on the advantage of the semi-automatic flintlock gun to dazzle the Huangya robber, tricking the other party into sending his teammates into a desperate situation.
[Justice Navy System (helping every naval soldier with a righteous mind)]
[Soldier’s name: Cao Gui (Navy private)]
[Merit points: 1000 Experience points: 550/1000]
[Power value: 7 (reflects the standard of combat effectiveness, not the factor that determines combat effectiveness)]
Looking at the refreshed system panel, Cao Gui couldn't help but think for a while. When he first joined the army, the system gave him a 10% off coupon for redemption. Cao Gui originally wanted to save it for later when he redeemed the Devil Fruit, but...
[The six naval styles (Iron Block, Lanjiao, Moon Step, Shaver, Paper Painting, Finger Spear) each have 10,000 merit points, a total of 60,000. 】
With his current merit points, he can exchange them for one type and six types of navy.
So the question is, should I use this coupon or keep it?
If he keeps it, it will be much less difficult for him to obtain the Devil Fruit. It is bitter first and then sweet, but the problem is... Although Cao Gui has a system now, he must obtain all the power by himself. The system has clearly stated that,
There is no shortcut to power in the world.
But now Cao Gui is just a second-class soldier.
What is the concept of private?
In the world of pirates, the name of a private in the navy is two words: miscellaneous fish, three words: background board, four words: walk-on, and five words: dead walk-on.
There is not a single line in the whole film, only one sentence: Ah! What a powerful little universe, what a powerful vitality bomb... That's wrong, it's:
Ah! What a powerful domineering force, what a terrifying fruit ability.
Then, he died in the aftermath of the battle between the bosses, and finally became only a basic unit that made up the number of casualties.
A man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass. With only a saber and a flintlock gun, he will definitely not be able to make a name for himself in the Marvel world.
So, it’s very clear how to choose.
use!
Then the second question comes. He only has one thousand merit points and one coupon. Which one should he redeem?
Get rid of the iron pieces first!
Even if Cao Gui learns any physical skills, he can't learn to use iron blocks. CP9's bloody lessons are still vivid in his mind. Only fools learn to use iron blocks.
The current time in the Marvel world is 2003 in the Western calendar TM, and there are still a few years left, so the offensive Lanjiao and finger guns can be slowed down for a while.
Today's world is not a world where superheroes roam the land and supervillains are inferior to dogs. The attack power of guns can solve a large part of the problems.
Shaving can also be ruled out. This martial art requires high physical strength. Cao Gui's current physical fitness is not enough to support the use of this martial art.
Then only the paper drawing for dodge and the moon step for movement are left.
"..."
Cao Gui thought for a moment and finally chose "paper painting". The reason is also very simple. Paper painting can assist in combat, while Yuebu is more about escaping, pursuing and intercepting, and does not directly increase combat effectiveness.
What's more, Cao Gui also has the identity of the FBI. Before the advent of the superhero era, the FBI could solve most problems. Therefore, Cao Gui did not have much demand for escape.
What if a problem arises that the FBI can’t solve?
It's not a big problem, don't forget, Cao Gui also has the identity of the second generation snake.
"System, use the 10% off coupon to redeem Navy Type Six: Paper Painting!"
[The host spends 1,000 merit points to redeem Navy Six Type: Paper Painting (discounted), please confirm the redemption. 】
"confirm!"
Ding~
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft groan echoed in his mind, and then a large amount of information poured into his mind.
Cao Gui rolled his eyes and accepted the information at a loss. He recovered after a moment.
Paper painting, this martial art is regarded as a weakened version of the Haki of seeing and hearing, which is not correct. Although both can sense and avoid enemy attacks, the principles are not the same.
Paper painting uses a special method to soften the body, allowing the body to follow the airflow like feathers or paper to avoid attacks.
In CP9, paper drawings can be expressed in two ways. One is like Bruno and Lucci, who sense the attack and dodge as a whole. In this process, the body does not deform.
One is like an owl with a long zipper on its beak, using a large deformation of its body to avoid attacks.
Cao Gui's goal is to practice overall dodge like Bruno and Lu Qi. As for body deformation, this is too difficult. We will talk about it later.
Cao Gui stood up from the bed and moved his body a little. He wanted to try the martial art of paper painting.
With his eyes slightly closed, Cao Gui took a deep breath and began to relax and soften his body according to the method in his brain. In an instant, Cao Gui suddenly looked light and airy, as if catkins were swaying in the wind.
However, this state lasted less than half a second before Cao Gui fell to the ground with a pale face.
"Huh... damn, the load on the body... is too great."
Cold sweat broke out on Cao Gui's forehead. In just a moment, his physical strength was exhausted and he could no longer support the use of paper painting.
Gritting his teeth, Cao Gui forced himself to climb onto the bed. As soon as his head hit the pillow, Cao Gui started snoring. His physical strength was too much and he could only use hibernation to recover his strength.
However, the matter was not over yet. In the middle of the night, around 4 a.m., Cao Gui was enveloped by a boundless sense of emptiness.
Gululu~
The sound of hyperactive bowel sounds echoes in the abdomen, and the salivary glands begin to secrete rapidly.
Cao Gui suddenly sat up from the bed, his eyes bloodshot and red.
Damn! Why are you so hungry?
Cao Gui crawled into the kitchen and dug out several pieces of steak in the refrigerator. Without any explanation, he threw them into the pot and boiled them. Then he took out various potato chips and cola and stuffed them into his mouth.
Tons tons tons~
Lal, llal, llal~
In the dim kitchen, the sound of Cao Gui eating quickly kept ringing. However, within a moment, the otaku food and otaku happy water in his hands were all consumed, but the steak was not ready yet.
Having no other choice, Cao Gui plunged his head into the refrigerator, grabbed vegetables and fruits, and gnawed them without caring whether they were washed or not and whether they could be eaten raw.
Cao Gui looked like this. Apart from the word "starving ghost," there is no more suitable adjective for him.
But the fact is that if Cao Gui didn't do this, he would really starve to death.
After an unknown amount of time, Cao Gui finally raised his head from the refrigerator. A large amount of plant fiber and fructose entered his stomach, and his severe hunger finally eased.
Although I'm still hungry, I'm not as anxious as before.
Cao Gui walked to the pot. The steak was already cooked. He picked it up with a fork. Cao Gui couldn't help but frown. He dipped it in salt and put it into his mouth.
As expected, the boiled steak must be old and woody, and it also has a fishy smell of meat.
Under normal circumstances, it would definitely be difficult to swallow, but under these special circumstances, the hunger in his belly still made him eat with gusto.
Cao Gui couldn't help but dig out the other raw and cold meats, and then entered into the simple and rough cooking and eating method of boiling in water + dipping in salt.
…
As the sun rose from the horizon in the early morning, Cao Gui came out of the kitchen with a toothpick in his mouth and a satisfied look on his face. To be honest, this was the first time he felt that eating well was also a kind of happiness.
It seems that I used to eat too much and was unaware of my blessings.
After thinking about it, Cao Gui clicked on the system panel:
[Justice Navy System (helping every naval soldier with a righteous mind)]
[Soldier’s name: Cao Gui (Navy private)]
[Merit points: 1000 Experience points: 550/1000]
[Power value: 10 (reflects the standard of combat effectiveness, not the factor that determines combat effectiveness)]
The power value has increased, and I am finally stronger than Spandam!
Cao Gui grinned, overjoyed, and immediately slapped himself again.
Are you so happy to be better than Spandam? Is there any higher pursuit?
By the window, the sun shone into the window sill, and Cao Gui slowly stretched himself in the sunshine:
