Chapter 34 Traveling through the Divine Book

The rest of the dinner time was spent eating melon, while Angela pulled Hannah, who was pretending to be sad, to beg for mercy.

"Dang, dang, dang." Before the party ended, John stood up and tapped the glass with his spoon, indicating that he wanted to speak.

"Everyone, I have a suggestion. How about we have a regular gathering once a month. The gathering location can be provided by everyone in turn. We hire Jack to be our chef. Of course, other people who are confident in their cooking skills can also participate. The ingredients are provided by The rest are AA, what do you think?"

"Agree!" Everyone raised their glasses and cheered.

Jack felt that his cooking skills might be the first skill that he could reach the master level without adding points.

It takes 10 gold coins to advance from master level to master level. At the rate he is gaining experience now, he doesn't know if he will be able to master pistol shooting by the time he becomes a police detective.

Now he no longer needs to go to shooting training every day. After he has become proficient in pistol shooting, target shooting at the shooting range will hardly improve him. If he wants to continue to improve, he will probably need SWAT-level training intensity.

But as a police officer, this level of pistol shooting is more than enough. Jack dares to say without humility that no one in the entire LAPD, including the SWAT team, can defeat him.

As for rifle shooting, it's not that Jack doesn't want to practice it. He's really short of money. Ordinary shooting ranges where he can practice rifle shooting have limited effect on improving his skills.

If you want professional shooting ranges and professional coaches, you have to find those shooting clubs. This is not what Jack, a policeman with an ordinary income, can afford.

In the past few months, he had only saved a total of 2000 knives. For a middle-aged Siris, this amount of savings was really panicking. Although he had some backup, now was not the time to use it.

His dream is to own a small house of his own like the little rich girl Hannah. It doesn’t need to be too big. It just has a bedroom big enough for a three-person bed and a perfect Chinese-style kitchen. Of course, it’s big enough for a three-person bed. The bathroom with double bathtub is also a must.

There needs to be a large enough backyard behind the house. A swimming pool is optional, but it must be equipped with a set of fitness equipment and wooden stakes for martial arts training, and finally grow some fruits and vegetables.

These dreams require a lot of hard work to realize. With only the meager salary of the LAPD, Jack can only look forward to the full pension that can only be received after 25 years, just like Superintendent Gray.

Anyway, it is impossible to get a loan. Tim and John are good role models around me. They seem to have a prosperous life, own a house and a car, but they can't spare $500 all year round, and the bank statements take it all away.

Maybe the really beautiful Chinese people are used to this kind of life, but for Jack, who is essentially a middle-aged man from Siris, this kind of life, which is equivalent to wandering on the streets once he loses his job, is really too exciting.

After cleaning up the living room and kitchen, Jack went to the bathroom to wash away the smell of cooking fumes. When he opened the door, he saw Hannah standing at the door holding a big gift box.

"Congratulations on your official gift as a LAPD."

"What's inside?" Jack took the box in confusion, and it was heavy and heavy. Did the girl buy him a gun?

"Don't you always complain that English textbooks are too expensive? I see that you often come back from shopping for some Chinese reference books, so you went to Chinatown and bought a few. The boss said these are very, very powerful reference books."

Jack's smile froze on his face. This silly girl didn't even recognize half of the Chinese characters. She was trying to trick someone, right? While patrolling the streets, he often saw some old Americans with strange Chinese characters tattooed on their bodies walking through the streets, which made people hold their foreheads in their hands.

After opening the wrapping paper, the first book on the top is indeed a very, very powerful reference book - "Xinhua Dictionary". Although it is only the eighth edition, it is actually in very good condition.

Unable to bear the girl's sadness, Jack resisted the urge to roll his eyes and nodded solemnly: "It is indeed a very useful reference book. The following one is damned!"

Jack turned to the next book, and immediately burst out with expletives in his native language. He ignored Hannah's confused gaze, and then turned to the next page. The corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and his smile gradually became abnormal.

The second book clearly says "Friends of Dual-Use Talents", and the third book has the same name, with a small bracket below - a continuation.

"Are these books useful?" Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Hannah asked doubtfully.

"Of course it works, very useful."

Jack excitedly picked up the girl and spun her around in a circle. When he was done, he still wasn't satisfied and gave her a kiss on her pink lips.

"Thank you so much, Hannah, you are my lucky lady."

It was the first time that Hannah saw Jack acting so gloomy. Although she was a little confused, she also became happy and blushed on her face.

"You haven't trained with me since you were injured. Can you continue tonight?"

"No problem, I'll put your gift away first."

As he spoke, Jack carried three heavy books up to the attic. He first stuffed the "Xinhua Dictionary" into the bookshelf. This book was destined to be just a decoration.

Put two copies of "Friends of Dual-Use Talents" on the bedside. Although this set of essential books for time travelers may be more suitable for time travelers who have traveled to ancient times, it is still of extraordinary value to him who has the system. , which records a lot of practical knowledge in simple and straightforward writing, enough to add a series of entry-level skills to the system panel.

Jack was able to acquire entry-level psychological skills by reading basic psychology textbooks before. This kind of practical encyclopedia can be said to have endless uses.

Putting on a set of tight sportswear, Jack went downstairs, took off his shoes and walked into Hannah's training room. There was no floor in this room, replaced by a thin layer of soft cushions. The surrounding walls were also made of the same material. Only in the room In one corner sat a training dummy and punching bag.

He also wanted to know if his physical constitution exceeded 20, which would add to his fighting skills.

When his perception exceeded 20, when he was sparring with Hannah, he could clearly feel that his body could not keep up with his consciousness.

When he concentrates and concentrates during the battle, he can clearly observe the movement of the opponent's eyes, and sense the opponent's movement intentions through the swing of the shoulders and even the strength of the muscles.

However, due to his physical condition, his movements are always unable to keep up with his brain's consciousness in time. It is like playing an online game and becoming a high-ping player in it.

After his physique exceeded 20, although he had been pretending to have a leg injury a few days ago and not being a sparring partner for Hannah, he also tested it privately and found that although his figure only changed slightly, his weight quickly increased to 85 kilograms, and his nerve reaction movements, Movement coordination has been greatly improved.

Some of the martial arts routines that Jack learned in the martial arts gym were originally just forced into muscle memory by system skills. Although each move looks good, it is not very practical. After all, the opponent cannot come and go like a turn-based game.

The Krav Maga practiced with Hannah emphasizes speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. It requires a good understanding of the pain points and vulnerable parts of the human body. It does not seek to look good, but only seeks to defeat the enemy with one blow. It is very practical for subduing criminals.

Although it is also necessary to form muscle memory through repeated practice of fixed routines, the moves are adapted to local conditions and there are no fixed moves.

And when high-ping players become low-ping players, with the addition of system skill levels, these routines and techniques begin to be integrated.
