Chapter 293. Opening Treasure Chests Again (Part1)

"Master Ip, thank you so much for your help."

Chinatown had already moved past Shukaku incident, and the reconstruction work was proceeding smoothly.

Looking at the refined man in front of her wearing a Tang suit, an old woman expressed her gratitude, "If it weren't for you, Master Ip, I wouldn't even know when I could finish clearing up everything on my own."

"No, this is what I should do, Madam."

Shaking his head, Ip Man looked at the trembling old woman in front of him and apologetically said.

Thanks to the timely evacuation by the Avengers and Ryan's deliberate delay, there were no casualties in Chinatown. However, there was significant damage to various shops and buildings, including nearly half of the stores near the martial arts school, being destroyed in the fight between Shukaku and the Avengers.

Fortunately, the city had already made plans for the subsequent reconstruction.

As an important landmark in Manhattan, Chinatown brought in a significant amount of tourism income for the government every year. The district's congressman had made a promise to restore Chinatown to its former prosperity. Although the voting rate in the district wasn't high, the middle class made up a significant proportion, many of whom were his campaign donors, leaving no choice for the congressman but to pay attention.

What's more, everything that happened in Chinatown is also the focus of attention in the United States today, and it was an excellent opportunity for the congressman to increase his popularity.

Shukaku's massive size and the destruction it caused would be impossible for SHIELD to cover up. Coupled with similar incidents recently, SHIELD increasingly felt powerless and decided not to hide it any longer, opting to let the public know about everything that happened in Chinatown and shift the focus.

"Look at this, my memory is failing me, Master Ip. I am getting old and forgetful, making you work so hard without even preparing a glass of water. Just wait, I'll go pour some for you right away."

"Madam, there's no need to trouble yourself."

"I insist, I insist!"

Shaking her head, the old lady turned around to prepare the water.

Ip Man watched the busy figure of the old lady and shook his head with a smile. He looked down at the sand at his feet, and with a turn of his mind, the sand looked like it was controlled by an invisible force and automatically gathered together.

...

"He's been in Chinatown all this time, helping with reconstruction..."

Natasha calmly reported as she withdrew her gaze from Ip Man in the distance.

"Continue to observe and report any changed in the subject's situation."

In SHIELD's headquarters, Nick Fury heard Natasha's report, but his expression remained unchanged.

Although the content of the report was normal, Fury wouldn't forget that the target of the report was a terrifying existence sealed within Ip Man's body, capable of destroying New York. So even if Ip Man appeared harmless, Fury couldn't take it lightly. In fact, SHIELD had already arranged a large number of agents in Chinatown to prevent the possible rampage and loss of control of Shukaku within Ip Man's body.

Even if he was well aware that if Shukaku, within Ip Man's body, truly broke the seal, it would be useless, no matter how many agents he sent.

"Phew~"

In Chinatown, Natasha ended her call with Fury, looking somewhat solemn.

To this day, she still couldn't believe Master Roshi's sacrifice. The immortal from Peng Lai, who appeared lecherous but was actually powerful, chose to sacrifice his own life in order to completely reseal the Heavenly Demon Shukaku.

Although Natasha was deeply touched by [Master Roshi]'s sacrifice, as a top spy, she had learned to suppress her emotions deep within her heart. The sadness on her face flashed by quickly, and she immediately returned to being the gorgeous Black Widow. Her gaze casually met with Ip Man's, and without any hesitation, she nodded and greeted him generously.

Withdrawing her gaze, Natasha's expression became solemn as she quietly muttered...

"Jiu You."

[Reputation points from Natasha Romanoff +435]

'Indeed, this was the correct method for obtaining points.'

Although Ryan could now earn points through various ways since his clone restrictions had been lifted, the quickest and most profitable way to earn points was through large-scale battle events.

One such battle could easily earn Ryan tens of thousands of points.

Unfortunately, these types of large-scale battles couldn't happen too frequently. For one, they required buildup, or else, it would be difficult to deepen the participants' impressions. Secondly, repeated appearances of a character would decrease the amount of points earned later on. Therefore, in order to perfect his acquisition of points, Ryan had to constantly find ways to create new characters while also building up their backstories so as to avoid any unsatisfactory results in his quest for reputation points.

In short, it was really difficult for him to get enough points.

Fortunately, his hard work paid off. Thanks to the sealing of Shukaku incident in Chinatown, Ryan finally managed to accumulate the 100,000 points required to exchange for a [Silver Treasure Chest]. With a little more effort, the next [Silver Treasure Chest] was also close at hand.

[Reputation points]: 164865

He remembered that he had already drawn three [A-level card fragments] in his inventory and only needed two more to combine them into an A-level character card.

Having experienced the power of a B-level character card, Ryan was really looking forward to the A-level character card from the system. 'If even B-level characters were that powerful, then what kind of power did an A-level card have?'

With expectations for the [A-level card fragments], Ryan didn't hesitate to exchange his points with a [Silver Treasure Chest] from the system.

[Item: Tiger Talisman]

[Effect: Spiritual Balance]

[Introduction: The item from Shendu in 'Jackie Chan Adventures'. It possesses the power of Spiritual Balance, the two tigers on its surface represent the balance between good and evil, Yin and Yang. It allows the holder to achieve a Yin-Yang balance or separate Yin and Yang. The positive effect of the Good and Evil Twin Tigers is to balance and harmonize the powerful forces between other spells, relieve the defects of conflict, and avoid a series of chaos. The negative effect is to split the holder's Yin and Yang into two people. When they are split in half, the user is also divided into Yin and Yang sides, each surviving as a separate individual, not as a two-sided entity. When the two halves of the spell merge, the Yin and Yang sides will also be reunited.]

[Remark: You're asking for trouble!]

[Remark 2: So scary~]
