Beauty Man: Infinite Possession

Chapter 2 Antique Store
"James, do you have time this weekend?"

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

"Sorry, Jennifer," the girl's blonde hair really caught Li Ran's attention, and he would naturally not want to miss the chance to date her if possible.Unfortunately, thinking of the upcoming important event, Li Ran had no choice but to refuse: "I have a very important job this weekend, so..."

"Really." The girl Jennifer had a look of obvious disappointment on her face.

"But next week, after the matter is over, I have some free time. If Jennifer, you still..."

"Of course, I have time for these two weeks." Hearing this, the girl couldn't help blurting out, and then realized that she was a little too reserved, but she continued blushing: "Then it's settled, James, let's go out next week."

"of course."

Li Ran nodded, watched the girl leave happily, and lowered his head to drink the rest of the coffee on the table.

I feel somewhat regretful in my heart, how nice it would be if I lived in an ordinary world.In this way, he doesn't need to worry about facing all kinds of threats, and he doesn't have to worry about a guy who cares about the whole universe's birth plan, thinking about snapping his fingers.

How could it be that he had transmigrated into the world of high-risk superheroes like Meiman, where superheroes were flying all over the sky.

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

When he first traveled to New York two years ago, he was still thinking about writing scripts, making movies, and playing with Hollywood dreams.

Until one day, when he knew that Osborne Enterprises, Stark Industries, and a kingdom in Africa called Wakanda existed in this world, as well as the rumors about Manhattan Hell's Kitchen vigilantes circulating in the streets and alleys.Only then did I realize that my dream of Hollywood movies was broken, and the difficulty of traversing has suddenly jumped from the original normal difficulty to the hell difficulty.

After coming out of the cafe, Li Ran walked back along Manhattan's Eighth Avenue, passing through the passing crowd, avoiding the gathering places of some obvious and specific gangs, and stopped near West Midtown, also known as Hell's Kitchen.A small antique appraisal shop appeared in front of my eyes.

"James, you still came so early today."

"Hard work is one of my great strengths, Jack." Li Ran smiled and greeted the old Jack from the laundry shop next door, opened the door, and flipped the sign hanging on the door to the opening side.

In the antique shop, there are a wide variety of goods, but in fact, most of them are just appearance goods. A large part of them are wholesale goods that Li Ran went to Chinatown to find, and the price is only a few to ten dollars. It won't be more than thirty knives. Simply put, even if the entire antique shop is robbed by thieves one day, it won't cause too much loss to Li Ran.

Of course, nowadays, there should no longer be such a blind guy appearing.

Because everyone in the Eighth Avenue knew that the dangerous guy James Lee in the antique shop was, at least not someone that gangsters like them could 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 legends say, nor will it issue various tasks to him.

Li Ran's system currently only has two functions. The first is to accumulate reputation or impression. Simply put, the deeper the impression Li Ran has on certain people, the higher the reputation he can get, and According to Li Ran's experience, it seems that the more famous a character is in the world of comics, the more famous he can get.

The second function is actually the role of reputation. Through the accumulated reputation, Li Ran can open various treasure chests in the system. The reputation required to open a treasure box ranges from 100 to the highest [-] million. Wait.

The items in the treasure chest are also different.

[Wooden Treasure Chest] 100 Fame (One Hundred) After opening, you will get E-level cards and some useless props.

[Black Iron Treasure Chest] 1000 Fame (One Thousand) After opening, you will get D-level cards, C-level card fragments, and small props.

[Bronze Treasure Chest] 10000 Fame ([-]) After opening, you will get C-level cards, B-level card fragments, and props.

[Silver Treasure Chest] 100000 Fame ([-]) After opening, you will get B-level cards, A-level card fragments, and random powerful props.

[Golden Treasure Chest] 1000000 fame (100 million) will be opened to obtain A-level cards, S-level card fragments, and character-specific props.

The props part can be left out for now, because Li Ran has not drawn any too powerful props so far.

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

Through the cards opened in the system treasure chest, Li Ran will obtain the abilities of various characters. Leaving aside some purely funny E-level task cards, the most important thing in Li Ran's hands is a D-level that has spent more than half a year accumulating popularity. Cards out.

[Grade D card - Kaitou Kidd]

[Skills: magic, cross-dressing, escape, appraising treasures]

[Background introduction: A legendary and internationally renowned phantom thief. The international criminal code is 1412. He possesses extraordinary intelligence and is proficient in disguise, voice change, and escape techniques. He targets jewelry and other precious artworks and uses magic techniques to commit crimes. super thief. 】

That's right, the entire New York media reported that Kidd, the phantom thief chased by the police, was actually Li Ran behind his cover.

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

Back then, Li Ran had to suffer a lot in order to get the [-] points of fame that could open the [Black Iron Treasure Chest]. Enough reputation required by [Black Iron Treasure Chest].

Simply, the final result did not disappoint Li Ran.

Especially the card Kaitou Kidd is simply a sharp weapon for gaining popularity. In just over a month, Li Ran has already accumulated nearly [-] reputation.

As long as he makes another big sum, [Black Iron Treasure Chest] is beckoning to him.

No wonder Li Ran is so obsessed with opening treasure chests. The key is because being in the Marvel world is so insecure. Even if you live a quiet life without causing any trouble, one day you will suddenly find yourself in the center of New York. A group of aliens fly to take you to God.

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

So, naturally, he can only appear frequently in front of New York citizens, using the vest of Kaito Kidd to try his best to gain fame.
