Shasha never expected to encounter trouble as soon as he arrived in this world. At that moment, he was indulging in a feast, and it turned out that when one was starving, everything tasted delicious. The junk food he once dismissed now seemed surprisingly appetizing. It was hard to believe. However, as long as the food wasn't too terrible, filling his stomach was quite simple.
After finishing the meal, Shasha let out an unrefined burp and began to ponder what abilities he had gained. It seemed that the System had no intention of informing him; it hadn't even issued a mission. He felt completely lost, with no idea what to do next.
Just then, the System suddenly spoke up, "Main mission triggered: Establish Yourself!
This world is filled with dangers and opportunities, and danger has already arrived. Avoid the assassination attempts from the gang and let them know that you, an Arrival, are not to be trifled with.
Mission reward: One chance for basic ability extraction and 100 Energy Points."
Finally, a mission had been issued! Shasha rubbed his hands together in excitement and asked, "What is this ability extraction? And are these Energy Points used for exchanging abilities?"
The System replied, "Ability extraction allows for a random selection of abilities recorded by the System; it all depends on the protagonist's luck. The Energy Points are used for item exchanges and increasing extraction chances."
Understanding the rewards made Shasha suddenly realize the danger he was in. He felt bewildered; how could he face an assassination attempt so soon after arriving in this world? He hadn't done anything to provoke it.
Suddenly, Shasha's eyes widened as he recalled the drunken man he had lent money to not long ago. A bitter smile crept onto his face. "Damn it, I knew things wouldn't be that simple. So now I'm being targeted?"
The System remained silent, seemingly uninterested in addressing his question.
Just as Shasha was about to ask something else, the fast-food restaurant's door was abruptly pushed open. Several men in black entered with an intimidating presence. The moment they spotted Shasha, they headed straight for him.
Realizing trouble was brewing, Shasha knew he had to act quickly. As one of them reached for a gun, he threw his soda at them and turned to sprint toward the kitchen.
"After him!" the Leader shouted to his subordinates as chaos erupted in the restaurant.
This was the first time Shasha had encountered such a situation, and he felt both nervous and afraid. However, he knew very well that if he didn't run, it would be difficult to save his own life.
At that moment, Shasha couldn't help but feel grateful for his love of sports; both his stamina and speed were on his side. As he burst through the back kitchen and ran for his life, a gunshot rang out. Instinctively, he ducked down and saw a bullet whiz past him just as he lowered his head.
Then came several more gunshots, and by some miracle, Shasha managed to dodge them all. Suddenly, he understood something.
In that instant, the pursuit behind him no longer felt as tense. As he hid around a corner, he gripped the handgun at his waist tightly in his hand. Although he had never fired a gun before, he had once read an article about handling firearms. Even though it had been banned later, the information was deeply etched in his mind.
There were five people chasing him. They might not be professional assassins, but each one was undoubtedly an experienced gangster. If it had been the old him, there was no way he could have taken them on.
But now, a confident smile crossed Shasha's lips. Just as the five were about to reach the corner where he was hiding, he suddenly burst out from behind it, aiming his gun at them and firing three shots!
The bullets flew through the air in slow motion as the five stared in shock. Three of them watched helplessly as the bullets struck them.
They fell to the ground, while Leader and another uninjured gangster stood frozen in disbelief. But in the next moment, their faces twisted with anger as they raised their guns to shoot at Shasha.
If only Shasha had more experience and had seen blood before; killing someone was still too difficult for a young man raised under the red flag like him. Now he faced five guns.
He quickly turned to dodge and glanced sideways, unable to suppress a bitter smile.
It was a dead end; there was no way for him to escape.
Hearing the gunfire along with the approaching footsteps, Shasha realized that he was trapped with no way out.
His gun still had bullets left. He could either take down three of them and have a slim chance of survival or surrender now without any futile resistance.
What should I choose?
Just as Shasha was struggling, a sudden strange sound from above made him look up. The next moment, his expression froze, unable to find the words to describe what he saw.
A Latina beauty, wearing a red scarf and very little red fabric, descended while holding two steel forks.
The instant she landed, she swiftly took out two people with her long, strong legs. Then, as one of them fired a gun, she quickly thrust one of the forks into the trigger mechanism, applying just enough force to make the handgun fall to the ground.
Watching this scene from a corner, Shasha felt as if he were watching a blockbuster movie. In fact, he recognized the leading lady of this action film, even though she did not know him.
Anyone who has seen Daredevil would know her—Erika Natchiss, who moved with precision and grace.
At that moment, Shasha finally understood what kind of world he had entered.
