Being an otaku in the world of American comics

"According to the latest news from our station, the famous arms dealer, Chairman of Stark Industries, billionaire Tony Stark, was attacked by terrorists in the Middle East this morning and is missing."

"So far, Tony Stark's body has not been found, but all the other US soldiers responsible for security in the convoy have been killed. As of now, no organization or individual has claimed responsibility for the incident."

"According to intelligence collected by the local US military, this is likely a premeditated attack and kidnapping. To this end, we…"

In the early morning, Liang Yue woke up from his slumber and had just finished his personal hygiene.

After turning on the TV in the living room, before he could take out the Minecraft-specific eggs and milk from his storage space to make breakfast, his attention was immediately drawn to this news report.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, shook his head unconsciously, and walked towards the kitchen with the ingredients in his hand.

"The plot is finally starting~"

… …

"By the way, System, I forgot to ask you last night, how often does our All Heavens Hunting occur?"

After finishing breakfast and making an international call to his mother back in China, Liang Yue finally remembered the important matter and quickly asked.

"Currently, the Hunting Trial will be activated once every thirty natural days. The selection criteria for the trial world is the upper limit of the host's own strength."

"Own strength?"

Hearing this, Liang Yue blinked and subconsciously summoned his character interface.

After a month-long newbie trial, his own strength had improved a lot.

However, the source of this strength mainly relied on external objects. If it weren't for the fusion with the rules of the Minecraft world, which gave him some magical operational abilities.

During the previous month, Liang Yue would have been considered to have just exercised his body…

… …

Liang Yue

Strength: 12

Agility: 12

Constitution: 16

Intelligence: 18

Bloodline: Human (Sealed)

Talent: Vigorous, Affinity

Technique: None

Skills: Language Proficiency, Ricochet (Condition not met, not activated)

Abilities: Simple Tool Making, Minecraft Game Character

… …

After a newbie trial, Liang Yue's character attributes were still so simple~

He finally managed to get an attack skill through a lottery bonus, but he couldn't use it because he didn't have magic power in his body.

Looking at the content in the parentheses, Liang Yue couldn't help but feel a stomach ache again.

However, even a simple panel couldn't prevent him from seeing his progress over the past month!

"Agility has increased a bit, constitution has also increased a bit, and strength has increased by a full four points! Hmm~ Not bad!"

Looking at his strength attribute, which had invisibly kept pace with agility, Liang Yue felt a sense of satisfaction.

He subconsciously touched his bulging arms and hard-as-iron chest and abdominal muscles, and was immediately filled with satisfaction.

"This should be related to my long hours of mining and quarrying later. Sure enough! As long as you are willing to put in the effort, there will always be rewards, but~"

Staring at the panel in front of him, Liang Yue quickly fell into contemplation when he thought of the second Hunting Trial in a month.

"As far as the current stage is concerned, whether it is cultivating martial arts, magic, or supernatural powers, it is still too far away for me. Even if I am lucky enough to get such things from the mall.

It probably won't amount to much in a short period of time, but just in case, I have to improve my strength before the next trial starts!"

"Cultivation techniques and supernatural powers are out of the question, so the only thing left is to start with external objects. Modern firearms? That's a possibility!"

"But I'm just a sixteen-year-old exchange student, buying guns through formal channels is too troublesome and easily attracts attention… It seems I can only find a way to do it secretly."

"Go to the legendary Hell's Kitchen and play black eats black?"

"Pah~! I'm not black!"

"Besides, I don't know the situation in Hell's Kitchen. Going there rashly to inquire about these things is probably more conspicuous than buying a gun!"

"Ask Aunt Liu for help? Might as well just steal it!"

"So convenient!"

… …

Night!

After a whole day of observation, Liang Yue finally determined his target for this operation.

It was a man who had been selected by many New York residents as one of the most greedy private shop owners in Brooklyn, and coincidentally, this unremarkable Northern Irish fatty ran a gun shop.

When he was at home during the day, Liang Yue had carefully compared and weighed the options, and ultimately ruled out plans to steal from large targets such as police stations and National Guard residences.

First, it is somewhat dangerous to attack such public sector departments, and second, the terrain is relatively complex~

Although he himself can easily tunnel into these departments from underground due to the Minecraft law, how to accurately find their armory is a significant problem.

Can't try it bit by bit, right?

At that time, what if he dug into a sewer…

On the contrary, as a private gun shop, although its own weapon storage is not as large as the previous two government departments, it is at least easy to handle~

Moreover, there is almost no danger.

After nightfall, Liang Yue, who was sitting in a Golden Arches restaurant opposite the gun shop, eating a late-night snack and drinking milk tea, personally watched the shop owner lock the shop door and then arrogantly ride away on his black Yamaha V-Max.

In order to better confirm the situation in the store, Liang Yue spent a lot of time wandering around the neighborhood during the day.

While measuring the layout of the store, he also visited several fruit stores, seed specialty stores, and even some flower and plant shops of the same specifications in the surrounding area.

Even the location for the operation had been found in advance.

It was an alley with aging facilities, next to an old car repair shop and a flea market.

The straight-line distance from the gun shop was no more than one hundred meters!

The reason for choosing to do it there was because the surveillance cameras had long been out of repair and could not work normally.

Moreover, a nearby house seemed to be under construction and reconstruction due to a fire, and the surrounding area was a mess.

After nightfall, it was even less likely that anyone would stay there to work overtime in the dark.
