Chapter 2, I hate assassins

Experience: 150 / 500

Wealth: 400

Russell glanced at the Mk. 11 sniper rifle in his hand, then looked at the black and white photo marked with a red cross beside him, and said helplessly: "I have said before, I hate assassins"

Secondly, it is the body, which encompasses not only physical constitution but also the five senses, resistance to toxins, adaptability, health points, physical resistance, and so forth. Increasing points in this attribute can also contribute to longevity.

Surrounded by four blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, including himself, all dressed like construction workers... If one were to overlook the firearms taken out from the backpack and their sinister gazes, they would truly resemble construction workers

First and foremost is strength, not merely arm strength or data related to bench pressing, but rather a combination of power, speed, agility, and other elements.

Burying his doubts deep within, Russell opened the skills and equipment list, which was quite intriguing.

Skills can be categorized into two types: one-time and permanent. The skills that Russell has drawn, namely proficiency in English and long-distance running, are classified as permanent skills. Previously, he had also drawn a one-time skill, 'Flame Jet', which he used in the world of Temple Run. The effect was quite good, as it directly turned the monster guards into fireballs.

Proficiency in English (You should know that English is not limited to expressions like come on, oh yes, oh my god)

Skills

With only one minute left, Russell stopped his warm-up exercises, picked up the cup of water on the table and took a couple of sips, and finally sat back down in his chair. When he opened his eyes again, the scenery before him had changed dramatically

[Item Card: Bruise Medicine x 3 (Treats arthritis in limbs, alleviates muscle rheumatism and muscle pain. Inhale the steam after placing a small amount in boiling water, it can also treat colds and nasal congestion)]

Exiting the interface, the cigarette had already burned down to the filter. Russell, having barely taken a few puffs, extinguished it in the ashtray and stood up to stretch his limbs in the room

It is fortunate that two tasks have already been completed in the world, and once the third task concludes, the distinction between black and white will soon be revealed

As for intelligence that exceeds the average by 3 points, it cannot be developed through simple training; it is related to his peculiar sixth sense. He seems to possess an innate ability to discern those who are vulnerable to attack, those who are relatively naive, those who lack social experience, or those who are somewhat insecure

Character Card: Bolt (Although known as the Lightning Bolt, his top speed is only 37.6 kilometers per hour, which is merely a matter of stepping on the gas)

Three fundamental attributes are interdependent and indispensable; it is impossible to achieve greatness by enhancing just one of them. For instance, the attribute of strength cannot transform one into the Hulk through sheer enhancement alone. Without the support of physique and the coordination of intelligence, it will only result in a distorted and fragile entity, where even a simple punch could lead to self-destruction.

Russell took a deep drag of his cigarette, opened the system interface, and an operation panel automatically appeared before him, displaying a section on character attributes, which contained data regarding his current status

Indeed, the upper limit is 10 minutes; there is no such thing as permanence

The instructor at the police academy evaluated him, stating that he would either become a police officer or a criminal, and even a serial offender with perverse tendencies

There is one more thing that Russell cannot tolerate: the timing of the system's task world releases is not fixed. The first two task worlds were 'Subway Surfers' and 'Temple Run', with an interval of one and a half months between them. However, this time, the interval is less than two weeks, showing no regularity whatsoever

[Sharp Tongue (Conversations Always End Because of You)]

Capture and Combat Techniques (Not Bad)

[Item Card: Bloodsucking Bandage x 3 (Contains one hundred absorbent pillows, which can accelerate blood loss from wounds)]

Long-distance running expert (You can outpace your opponents to exhaustion)

Level: 2

Russell had also inquired about the system, expressing a certain aversion to the emergence of an unknown entity in his mind. However, the system did not provide any explanation for this. It merely informed him that he was still in the internship phase and lacked sufficient authority. Only after undergoing three assessments in the task worlds could he become a true host, at which point everything would fall into place.

The names of skills and equipment are listed at the front, followed by evaluations from the system. Each time a task world is entered or concluded, a lottery event is triggered. Apart from Russell's inherent grappling martial arts and sharp tongue, all others are obtained through the lottery.

Equipment

As for where the points come from, there is no need for explanation; it is similar to playing a game, where you earn 3 points for each level you advance. Due to Russell's previous profession as a police officer, before receiving the system, both his strength and physique were stronger than the basic value of 5 points of an ordinary person due to training.

Russell hated this feeling of being controlled, like a marionette with no autonomy, but until he became a true master, he could only endure it

There was no large monster with a completely black white bony mask, nor was there a middle-aged police officer with a big belly; this time, no one was chasing behind him. He stood atop a tall building.

Regarding the three fundamental attributes: strength, physique, and intelligence, they may seem very simple, but each encompasses a wide range of aspects

There were no electrical leaks from the computer, no explosions from the mobile phone, no meteorites falling from the sky, no elderly beggars, and no serendipitous finds in the second-hand market; quite suddenly, he became the so-called lucky one in the system's eyes

Certainly, it is also possible to use wealth points to extend time, with deductions made per second. The more powerful the character, the greater the consumption of wealth points.

Wisdom: 9 (8 + 1)

Briefly reviewing his basic attributes, Russell gazed at his level for a moment, puzzled by a particular question: since he was an intern host, why was he still able to level up

Brushing his teeth, washing his face, and going to bed, Russell woke up to the chilling sound of an electronic voice in his mind

Russell allocated the 6 points he obtained across three base attributes, maintaining a balanced state. In terms of his current condition, with some training, he would be at the level of a national champion athlete. This pertains to athletics.

Force: 10 (7 + 3)

The character cards are quite frustrating. According to the system, using a character card allows one to gain the abilities of the other party, but these character cards have a time limit. The specific duration depends on luck; it could be as short as 10 seconds or as long as 10 minutes.

Russell is a systematic person and a 'veteran' who has traversed two worlds, yet he knows very little about his own system, being completely unaware of its name, purpose, and objectives, and he does not even understand why he was chosen by the system

Before entering the task world, the system will not disclose what kind of world it is. If it is similar to the previous two worlds, it will be a long-distance run, and warm-up exercises are essential

Finally, it is intelligence, similar to the intelligence in games, rather than the often-mentioned IQ. It can also be regarded as mental strength, encompassing coordination, intuition, mana, magic resistance, and so on

Attention, host. The third mission world is about to commence. We are now entering the final minute countdown. Please prepare yourself!

Finally, there is the item card, and the system remains tight-lipped about it, not mentioning a word. Russell also did not consider trying it out. Judging from the system's comments on the injury medicine and blood-sucking bandages, their level of disappointment is even greater than that of the skill and character cards, making it irrelevant whether one tries them or not

The rewards extracted by Russell are not many, and the system only provided a brief explanation or two. He can only rely on his own exploration to summarize some experiences regarding the lottery items

This made Russell doubt whether it was a pay-to-win system, but unfortunately, he could not find the recharge portal

Body: 8 (6 + 2)

Character Card: Subway Police Officer (A middle-aged man who cannot be shaken off even by a jet pack, rumored to be a veteran of the Delta Force)

Host: Russell

The following attributes are shrouded in gray. According to the system's explanation, the information below will only be accessible to Russell when he becomes the true host. Furthermore, the renowned system mall is also enveloped in gray, with insufficient permissions to access it, rendering Russell's wealth equivalent to nothing.

Is it possible that the game will have a public beta test, during which all levels will be reset?

Character Card: Temple Guardian (The Monster that Guards the Statue)

Then he was pursued by a fireball all the way
