[Fame from Cornell Stokes +25]

Sitting in the small room converted from the storage room, Li Ran couldn't help raising his eyebrows as he watched the content that suddenly appeared on the data panel.

The name Cornell Stokes is a little strange, obviously not a very famous figure in the world of American comics, but the system shows a lot of fame, even surpassing the one given by Luke Cage in the barber shop. The legendary number made Li Ran a little confused for a while.

In short, no matter what, having a reputation is a good thing.

Sitting on the bed, thinking about it for a while, Li Ran immediately gave up this apparently futile approach.

The room transformed from a storage room is not too big. After barely putting down a bed, it becomes a little narrower. Li Ran is not that picky. He just lay on the bed under the moonlight and fell asleep within a short time. among.

The system's cards endowed Li Ran with extraordinary power, but did not endow him with the ability not to sleep.

Besides, he is not Daredevil, or a superhero like the Punisher who always takes fighting criminals as his duty.

No need, sacrifice your own sleep time to defend the safety of New York City.

……

The next day, a chaotic night in Harlem passed.

The sun has come here again, sweeping all evil into the shadows.

Just looking at the pedestrians hurrying to and fro on the road, Harlem seems to be no different from any area in New York City. Of course, the premise is that the obviously broken glass in the Chinese restaurant is ignored. But the damage they left at the Chinese restaurant didn't disappear so quickly.

Especially the huge floor-to-ceiling windows with a big hole at the entrance of the store, speaking of which, it is still Li Ran's masterpiece.

Last night, he kicked the little gangster out of the Chinese restaurant. While showing great strength, he also added some unnecessary trouble to the Chinese restaurant.

It is a troublesome thing to replace such a large piece of glass, so the Chinese restaurant did not open in the morning, and they need to deal with the damage marks left by several people in the store last night.

And Li Ran also relaxed, and came to the barber shop near the Chinese restaurant.

The purpose, of course, is still for Luke Cage.

"Hey, Xing, good morning."

"Good morning."

In the barber shop, Father Henry saw Li Ran walking into the shop, and immediately nodded to greet him: "How is it? Are you still used to working in Connie's shop?"

"It's not bad." If you ignore the part where he showed his power in the second half, and just look at his part-time job performance in the Chinese restaurant, Li Ran thinks that his performance is not bad, with quick hands and feet and quick reactions. Bearing hardships and standing hard work without complaining is just like the performance of an excellent employee.

"At least, Mrs. Connie is very satisfied with my performance and promoted me."

Li Ran didn't lie about this, he was indeed promoted.

Last night, he agreed to Mrs. Connie, and changed from a part-time job to an employee of a Chinese restaurant, specializing in protecting the restaurant from being harassed by the neighborhood gangsters.

"Promotion?"

Turning his head to look at Li Ran in surprise, Henry saw that his serious expression didn't seem like a lie, and he was a little puzzled and said, "It seems that you are doing really well."

It's just, how well did Li Ran do that he was promoted in just one night.

Henry couldn't help being curious.

"By the way, why is the Chinese restaurant not open today?"

After a brief chat about Li Ran's first day working in a Chinese restaurant, he was filled with questions, and Henry asked immediately.

"Because a few hooligans went to the Chinese restaurant last night to destroy and smashed a lot of things in the restaurant, which needs to be dealt with." Li Ran explained the reason why the Chinese restaurant was not open, and completely ignored it. Part of it is actually because of his shot, no, the shot.

Li Ran's answer made Henry in the barber shop and Luke Cage, who was cleaning the window, subconsciously stop their movements.

After a few seconds of silence, Henry shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression to Li Ran: "Son, welcome to the real Harlem."

Even though Dad tried his best to maintain the rules in the barber shop and lead the children in the barber shop to the right path, he still couldn't change the fact that Harlem was in chaos.

"Harlem, everybody has a gun, everybody doesn't have a father."

By the window, the silent Luke Cage spoke, giving the most accurate description of Harlem.

"In this case, why don't you stand up and change this place?"

"Change." Faced with Li Ran's question, Luke Cage shook his head helplessly. He put away the rag in his hand and turned to look at Li Ran behind him: "Do you know the past of Harlem, chaos and poverty, Countless people die on the streets of Harlem every day, and countless wives lose their husbands and children lose their fathers. This is how Chico's father died. Harlem used to be like this, and it hasn't changed much now. .”

"The new district councilor Maria Dillard took office, but she herself is the umbrella of the water-bellied snake, and it is the water-bellied snake's men who destroyed the Chinese restaurant, so Harlem has never changed, it will only sink, this is Reality. Change doesn’t happen just like you, a foreigner who has only been in Harlem for a day and can’t even pronounce the name Harlem.”

Luke Cage seems to have a lot to say about Harlem but hasn't.

"Although I'm just an outsider to Harlem, I also know that change doesn't just happen out of thin air. Those gangsters on the streets are affecting Harlem with violence. Why can't someone use their own way to stop these things? Violence, to change, if you don’t do many things, you will never know the result. If you don’t have dreams, what’s the difference between you and a salted fish?”

After a bowl of messy chicken soup, Luke Cage's expression was visibly shaken.

Standing aside, Father Henry unconsciously shook his fist, opened his mouth seeing Luke Cage's appearance, but finally chose to remain silent and handed over the choice to the other party.

However, he quickly restrained his emotions and returned to the taciturn appearance before.

"You don't have to tell me so much, I'm just an ordinary cleaner." He shook his head, picked up the bucket at hand, and planned to walk inside.

"No, you're not." Stretching out his hand, he stopped Luke Cage who was about to leave. Li Ran looked up at the tall figure and said firmly, "I can feel that you are not an ordinary person, you are Someone to change this place, change the fate of what you say is sinking Harlem."
