(New Yorker)... Legend...]

In the antique store, James looked at the system prompts that kept flashing in front of him.

Even across the system, he still can feel the anger of the New York police this time they are embarrassed to lose a lot of faces.

The media's coverage made the NYPD the laughingstock of New York City for a while, and also sent a steady stream of legendary degrees for him.

"If only they can give legend degree more, it can be great."

Under such circumstances, if there is anything that makes him feel unsatisfied, it is the system itself.

The system's legendary degree statistics are quite unfriendly, ordinary New York citizens, at most can give him an increase of about 0.1~0.5 legendary degree. To put it simply, the impression he left on the four New York citizens was far less than the impression left by the New York police commissioner, George Stacy. The system's statistics are not as high as the legendary degree brought by the New York police chief George Stacy alone.

The system's statistical approach is tantamount to forcing James to look for someone like NYPD Commissioner George Stacey. The system is also disguised as forcing him to look for people like New York police chief George Stacey who can bring high returns to earn legendary degrees.

For example, the gold and stream.

Most superheroes or supervillains, whether directly or indirectly, are extremely dangerous.

At least, not the current James can be exposed to.

In addition, although the legendary degree brought by the citizens of New York is low, but can not resist, the base itself is large.

This is not, repeatedly under the screen, also brought him more than a hundred legend degree, plus he originally had over 800 legend degree, only need to work a little more, the new treasure chest will be in hand.

The fact is that he can't be lax, he can't look like a New York citizen or a New York cop

"Jingle Bell~"

With the sound of a bell ringing at the entrance of the antique store.

Opening the door, a middle-aged man dressed in shabby clothes walked in.

"Welcome, what can I do for you?"

The man's distinctly Asian appearance caused James to take an extra look, but then he turned his eyes away and welcome him.

As the largest immigrant city in the United States of America, few Asian races are living in New York City, but there are many.

The man's gaze swept over everything in the antique store, and the various antique goods in the store made him feel restrained for a few moments, and tentatively asked: "Boss, do you take antiques here"

"Of course."

From the other party's embarrassing posture, he has sensed something, so said little, directly nodded to answer.

The same appraisal skill as Kaitou Kid.

The man was relieved to get the answer, and then pulled out a tightly wrapped bracelet from his arms and carefully handed it to him.

"This bracelet is an heirloom passed down from my wife's ancestors from Liu, boss, can you help me identify how much it is worth?"

This is a fake jade.

Borrowing from Kaitou Kid's appraisal skills. With just the first glance, he had already determined the jade bracelet in the man's hand.

It was just a roughly crafted imitation.

"Boss, how much is this bracelet worth?"

James' gaze retracted from the man's hopeful eyes, looked down at the crudely crafted bracelet in front of him, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Fifty."

"Fifty?!"

There was a big gap between the offer given by him and what the man expected in his heart, so he couldn't help but say, "Boss, can you go higher, I need this money."

"Fifty, that's already the highest price."

The man's bracelet, if exchange in other stores, not to mention the fifty, even five dollars is too much.

"Fifty? Fifty! Fifty..."

In the antique store,

The man mumbled, struggling for a long time, before finally gritting his teeth and nodding: "Fifty, just fifty!"

Reaching out, accepting the fifty dollars in his hand, the man carefully hid it in his body before finally walking out of the store with a lost look.

"Another one, desperate man from Hell's Kitchen..."

In the laundry store, old Jack looked at the man's departing back and couldn't help but sigh.

As a native resident living in Manhattan all his life, Old Jack has been used to seeing desperate people like this.

"In hell's kitchen, and who is not desperate."

As the most chaotic and dangerous as well as a poor area in the whole of New York, ordinary people want to live here in peace, it is a luxury hope.

Even if James himself, at first it took a lot of effort to get a firm foothold here.

After casually chatting with Old Jack of the laundry store, he returned to the store and swept his gaze over the jade bracelet still left on the table.

With his hand, he put it away and threw it into the middle of the pile of groceries on the side of the antique store.

...

"Mom, mom, dad, come back!"

Hell's Kitchen, the damp and narrow slum area.

The little girl with two pigtails and a somewhat thin appearance shouted to her mother, who was lying on the bed.

"How was it, did the bracelet sell out?" On the bed, the woman with a pale face asked.

Strongly holding up a smile and stroking his daughter's head, the man looked at his wife lying on the hospital bed, "It was sold, but the money wasn't as much as I thought."

"Ahem, how much?"

"Only fifty."

"..."

In the room, after a long silence.

The woman spoke with difficulty: "Or else, the disease should not be treated..."

"How can!" A broken voice interrupted his wife's next words. The man could not help but be excited: "I will never give up on you."

"But we simply don't have so much money."

"The money thing, I will solve it, if it is not possible, I will go to Madam Gao..."

"You're crazy! All those who work at Madam Gao's place are..."

"No matter what, it's better than watching you die of illness!"

"Dad, mom."
