[The legend from New Yorkers +0.01]

[The legend from New Yorkers +0.02]

[From George Stacey's legend +3]

[The legend from the New York Police +0.03]

[From George Stacy's fable +2]

[From New York... legendary...]

In the antique shop, Li Ran looked at the system prompts that kept flashing before him.

Even across the system, they can still feel the anger of the New York police, after all, they are really embarrassed this time.

Coupled with media reports that fueled the flames, the New York police became the laughingstock of the entire New York City for a while, and also gave Li Ran a steady stream of legends.

"If you can give the legend a little more, it would be great."

In this case, if there is anything that makes Li Ran unsatisfied, it is the system itself.

The statistical method of system fame is quite unfriendly. Ordinary New Yorkers can at most increase his fame by about 0.01~0.05. The media or TV indirect reports bring even less, even in some cases. No, maybe because I didn't see it with my own eyes, I couldn't make a deep impression.To put it simply, Li Ran’s impression of hundreds of New Yorkers is far less than the legend brought by New York Police Chief George Stacy alone.

The statistical method like the system is also equivalent to forcing Li Ran in disguise to look for figures like New York Police Chief George Stacey who can bring high returns to earn legend.

For example, Jin Binzhi and his ilk.

Having said that, if he could, Li Ran would not give up the possibility of drawing fame from New Yorkers. After all, although the fame from the characters of American comics is high, not everyone is like New York Police Chief George In that way, most superheroes or super villains are extremely dangerous, whether directly or indirectly.

At least, not what Li Ran can come into contact with now.

In addition, although the fame brought by the citizens of New York is low, it can't stand its large base.

No, after repeatedly swiping the screen, Li Ran also brought more than a hundred legends, plus his original more than 800 legends, just a little bit of effort, the new treasure chest is in hand. .

You can't relax, you can't treat Jin and as a New York citizen or New York police.

Li Ran warned himself secretly in his heart, and then he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and returned his attention to his antique shop.

...

jingle--

As the bell rang at the entrance of the antique shop.

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

"Welcome, is there anything you need?"

The man's apparently Asian appearance made Li Ran take another look, but then he turned away and opened his mouth to welcome him.

As the largest immigrant city in the United States, although there are not many Asians living in New York City, there are definitely many.

The man's gaze swept over everything in the antique shop. The various antique products in the shop made him feel a little bit hesitant. He tentatively asked: "Boss, do you collect antiques here?"

"of course."

From the other's embarrassed posture, Li Ran actually noticed something, so he didn't say much, nodded directly.

Also comes from the identification skills of Kaito Kidd.

After getting the answer, the man couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully handed it in front of Li Ran with the tight bracelet that he took out a bag.

"This bracelet is a family heirloom that my wife has passed down since my ancestors. Boss, can you help me identify it, how much is it worth?"

This is a fake jade.

With the superb steadfast skills of the strange thief, Li Ran had already identified the jade bracelet in the man's hand at the first glance.

It's just a rough imitation.

"Boss, how much is this bracelet worth?"

Li Ran's gaze was withdrawn from the man's hopeful eyes, looked down at the rough bracelet in front of him, and said, "Fifty."

"fifty?!"

Obviously, there is a big gap between Li Ran's offer and the man's expectations, and he couldn't help but say: "Boss, can it be higher, I really need this money."

"Fifty, already the highest price."

In fact, if the men's bracelet is exchanged in other stores, let alone fifty, even five dollars is too much.

"Fifty? Fifty! Fifty..."

In the antique shop, the man murmured and struggled for a long time, and finally nodded with his teeth: "Fifty, it's fifty!"

Reached out and took the fifty dollars in Li Ran's hand. The man carefully hid it on his body, and finally walked out of the store with a look of despair.

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

In the laundry shop, old Jack looked at the man's leaving back and couldn't help sighing.

As a resident of Manhattan who has lived all his life in Manhattan, Jack has become accustomed to seeing people who are desperate and desperate like men.

"In Hell's Kitchen, who is not desperate."

As the most chaotic, dangerous and impoverished area in New York, ordinary people want to live peacefully here, which is a luxury in itself.

Even Li Ran himself, it took a lot of effort at the beginning to get a firm foothold here.

After chatting casually with the old Jack in the laundry shop, Li Ran returned to the shop and glanced over the jade bracelet still on the table.

He put it away and threw it into the pile of groceries beside the antique shop.

...

"Mom, mom, dad, are back!"

Hell's kitchen, a damp and narrow slum.

With two pigtails, the little girl who looked a little thin and yelled to her mother who was lying on the bed.

"How about it, are the bracelets sold?" the woman with a pale face asked on the bed.

Qiang held up a smile and touched his daughter's head. The man looked at his wife who was lying on the hospital bed: "It was sold, but the money is not as much as expected."

"Ahem, how much?"

"Only fifty."

"..."

In the room, after a long silence.

The woman said with difficulty: "Or, don't treat the disease..."

"How can it be!" Absolutely interrupted his wife's next words, the man couldn't help but excited: "I will never give up on you."

"But we don't have so much money at all."

"The money matter, I will find a way to solve it, if it doesn't work, I will go to Mrs. Gao..."

"You are crazy! All the people who work with Mrs. Gao are..."

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

"Dad, mom."
