Chapter 6: What is a shrimp catcher?

Russell used to think that the instructor made a lot of sense, but after personally ending a life today and staring intensely at the corpse, he increasingly feels that the instructor is the one who is abnormal

As the cross indicated, the car door was not locked, and the key was left in the vehicle. Russell fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and released the handbrake to drive out of the parking lot

The popular lottery segment has generated some excitement for him, as he now needs certain skills and character cards to equip himself. Based on the previous system prompts, the two lottery draws are related to his encounter with the slicked-back hairstyle, one of which involved the Ford F-150.

During this period, Russell understood the usage rules of item cards, which are different from character cards and skill cards. Once an item card is used, there is no time limit, but it cannot be taken out of the current world after use

The three consecutive draws have concluded, and Russell's equipment list has been supplemented with three new cards

After changing his clothes, Russell tidied himself up in the rearview mirror, looking refreshed. He silently opened the system interface and began a three consecutive draws of luck.

The skill card 'Bullet Time' is excellent, but Russell did not use it immediately; what if it is a one-time skill? That would be a significant loss. Good steel should be used on the blade; the world of the third mission is very dangerous, and the skill card 'Bullet Time' is a life-saving trump card that should not be wasted lightly

In the United States, not having a driver's license is far more serious than not carrying an ID in China. If stopped by the police for questioning, if Russell cannot produce his driver's license, any slight act of non-compliance could result in him being shot on the spot.

Where should I go next

For safety reasons, Russell parked the car at the entrance of the alley. After locking the doors, he began to rummage through the vehicle. In the back seat, there were five sets of clean coats, baseball caps, and athletic pants, clearly prepared by the Cross.

What does "catching shrimp" mean?

Bang bang bang

The US dollar has arrived

To be honest, compared to Dit Da Jiu, Russell now prefers Yunnan Baiyao, because for injuries sustained from falls, Dit Da Jiu is not suitable for use within 24 hours.

Several female white-collar workers suddenly turned pale, possibly having just witnessed a murder. The murderous aura around Russell had not yet dissipated, and when he glared with his eyes, it was indeed quite frightening

You are very calm, which is good, but I must remind you that two blocks away, three police cars are heading towards your location. If you do not have a good lawyer, it is best to leave quickly

If I am not mistaken, the voice on the other end of the phone belongs to the Cross, but Russell had no recollection of the person and chose to pretend not to know them

Upon exiting the elevator, Russell headed straight for the outdoor parking lot. As he passed by the entrance, the officers from the municipal bureau arrived belatedly. Russell maintained a nonchalant demeanor, avoiding any eye contact with them during the encounter.

Russell frowned, glanced at the black cross on the ground, and silently concealed himself in the corner of the wall: "Who are you?"

Russell immediately responded with a polite smile: "Of course, I know!"

As a novice during the internship period, Russell does not understand much and can only speculate that this person is related to books and driving vehicles

The magical card, rather than being an equipped character card, is more accurately described as a means to unlock learning skills

In the conversation with the bearded man, Russell analyzes his identity in this world, but the problem is that he lacks corresponding memories; he doesn't even have a driver's license in his pocket and is completely unaware of where to go next

Russell answered the phone, and a slightly suppressed hoarse voice came from the other end: "I saw everything, your performance was unexpected, to be honest, you surprised me."

Having resolved the situation with the pompadour, Russell sat down heavily on the ground, panting and taking a moment to rest. Previously, he had been so focused that he hadn't noticed much, but now he realized that he had narrowly escaped death several times. His hands and feet trembled slightly, to the extent that he did not even notice the two alert sounds from the system.

Wiping the bruise on his elbow, Russell reflected on the efficacy of the bruise ointment provided by the system, realizing that with the system in place, there was no need to constantly speak of reason. The results were remarkable, as the bruise dissipated at a visibly rapid pace, and a gentle warmth radiated from the joint, providing a sense of comfort

The urgent ringtone of a mobile phone rang from the pocket of the bearded man, interrupting Russell's reckless thoughts. He was too lazy to respond until the first round of ringing ended, and when it rang again, he walked over to take the phone out.

I parked a gray pickup truck in the ground parking lot, license plate number 404 · OOXX, the doors are unlocked, and the keys are inside the vehicle. You should know how to operate it. Leave from there, I will come to find you

Reviewing his equipment list once more, Russell thought for a moment and took out a bottle of bruise ointment. He had sustained injuries during the fight, with several bruises on his body, and any slight movement caused him excruciating pain

Only when Russell's heartbeat returned to normal did he slowly stand up from the ground. The memories of the special operations carried by the subway police, as well as the impressions of firearms proficiency, had already faded away. It was not entirely absent; upon deeper reflection, some remnants could still be discovered, but they were too vague, even more so than the haziness of a drunken blackout.

Descending from the top floor of a building with over 60 stories on foot was certainly not feasible; even if Russell possessed long-distance running skills, he had no desire to engage in such a self-destructive act. The police would arrive shortly, so he opted to take the elevator. This choice would likely result in his face being captured by surveillance cameras, but Russell had no other options. Moreover, he was certain that before reaching the top floor, his face had already appeared on the surveillance footage; otherwise, how could one explain the sudden appearance of a living person on the top floor

In China, the Ford Raptor is considered a luxury vehicle due to its import status and its frustrating fuel consumption. However, in the United States, it is akin to a farm tractor, comparable to the Wuling Hongguang in China, and can be acquired for between 25,000 to 50,000 US dollars, with even lower prices possible through negotiation

It is quite evident that the first two lottery results are related to the slicked-back hairstyle, while the third one...? Russell expressed that he has no idea who the other person is, could it be the one who edited the image?

Character Card: BABY (Shrimp Catcher)

[Item Card: M 9 ( What need is there for a Desert Eagle, what need is there for infinite bullets, having this is enough ) ]

The host is driving a Ford F-150. Should we proceed with the lottery draw now?

Russell glanced around, noticing that behind the young Black man stood several others dressed in flamboyant attire, their disheveled appearance suggesting they were likely delinquents

Russell rolled up his sleeves and looked at the bruises on his arms, remnants of the injuries sustained while equipping the character card. This dispelled his unrealistic fantasies, as he had previously thought that equipping the character card was equivalent to gaining an extra life

An old-fashioned sliding phone, very nostalgic, the caller ID does not have a name attached, it is an unfamiliar number

It is okay not to remember; Russell believes that with more practice, one can find the feeling. Although 90% of memory may be lost, even if only 10% remains, it is still a guaranteed profit.

Russell stroked his chin and hesitated, saying, "How about... giving it a try!?"

As a proud descendant of the Yan and Huang, Russell could not tolerate their gazes and immediately glared back fiercely, threatening: "What are you looking at? If you keep staring, I will smash your fake breasts! Damn it!"

Hearing this, Russell finally realized that his situation was not safe. Just as he was about to leave, the voice of the cross came through the phone once again

Russell ignored the system and drove on his own. American cars and Chinese cars both have left-hand steering, and since the roads drive on the right side, he did not feel any discomfort. Thanks to his proficiency in English, Russell drove smoothly in this unfamiliar city, but suddenly he realized a problem while driving.

According to the peculiar license plate number, Russell found the gray pickup truck, the Ford F-150, famously known as the Raptor. This vehicle is extremely popular in the United States, very common, and can almost be regarded as a symbol of the country

Skill Card: Bullet Time (From a scientific perspective, all objectively existing phenomena can be explained)

It now appears that

The call was disconnected, and Russell, with a conflicted expression, stuffed his phone into his pocket. The third mission was likely related to the cross, and although he despised assassins, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it

Glancing at the increasingly cool pompadour, Russell suppressed his discomfort and focused his gaze on the corpse. It was not to overcome fear and nausea, but rather because during his time at the police academy, the instructor had taught him to frequently observe corpses to maintain a reverence for death, lest he become desensitized to the concept of death and turn into a complete pervert.

The window on the driver's side was tapped, revealing a grinning young Black man. Upon seeing Russell turn his head, he immediately displayed a warm smile and said, "Hey, man, do you know what time it is?"

Has the host accumulated three lottery draws, should it be drawn now

In the elevator, Russell was covered in dust due to the fight, and wearing the construction worker's jacket, he inevitably faced disdain from those around him. Especially from several blonde-haired, blue-eyed female white-collar workers; the look in their eyes possibly contained a hint of racial discrimination.

It is not impossible; he also has a character card for Zhang Boleite that he can equip. By dying once to test it out, he can verify the hypothesis with absolute certainty
