Infinite Possession of Beauty
Chapter 40 Change [Seeking Recommendation Ticket]
[From Cornell Stokes' fame +25]
Sitting in the small room changed from the storage room, Li Ran couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he looked at the content that suddenly appeared on the data panel.
The name Cornell Stokes is a bit unfamiliar. Obviously it is not a very famous character in the American comics world, but the system shows a lot of legends, even more than what Luke Cage gave in the barbershop. Li Ran's legendary figures made Li Ran a little confused for a while.
In short, no matter what, it is good to have legend.
Sitting on the bed and thinking about it for a while, Li Ran gave up this obviously futile approach.
The room transformed from the storage room is not too big. After barely putting down a bed, it became even narrower. Simply, Li Ran was not so picky. Just lying on the bed in this moonlight, he fell asleep in a short time. among.
The cards of the system gave Li Ran extraordinary powers, but did not give him the ability to not sleep.
Besides, he is not a brave man, or a superhero whose duty is to fight criminals at every turn.
No need to sacrifice your sleep time to protect the safety of New York City.
...
The next day, a chaotic night passed by Harlem.
The sunlight came here again, sweeping all evil into the shadows.
Just looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, Harlem seems to be no different from any area in New York City. Of course, the premise is to ignore the obviously broken glass in the Chinese restaurant. Although the gangster who made trouble last night was solved by Li Ran , But the damage they left in the Chinese restaurant did not disappear so quickly.
Especially the huge floor-to-ceiling window with a big hole at the entrance of the store, speaking of it, is still Li Ran's masterpiece.
He kicked the gangster out of the Chinese restaurant last night. While showing his great power, he also added some unnecessary trouble to the Chinese restaurant.
It is a troublesome thing to replace such a large piece of glass, so the Chinese restaurant did not open in the morning, and they needed to deal with the traces of damage left by a few people in the store last night.
And Li Ran relaxed, and went to the barber shop near the Chinese restaurant.
The purpose, naturally, is for Luke Cage.
"Hey, Axing, good morning."
"Good morning."
In the barbershop, Papa Henry saw Li Ran walking into the shop and immediately nodded and greeted him: "How about it, are you still used to working in Connie's shop?"
"It's okay." If you ignore the part where he made a lot of power in the second half, from the previous part-time job performance in the Chinese restaurant, Li Ran thinks that his performance is fairly good, with quick hands and feet, and quick response. Hard work and no complaints, just like the performance of an excellent employee.
"At least, Mrs. Connie was very satisfied with my performance and promoted me."
At this point, Li Ran didn't lie, he was indeed promoted.
Last night, he promised Mrs. Connie that he changed from a part-time job to an employer in a Chinese restaurant, specializing in protecting the restaurant from harassment by nearby gangsters.
"Promotion?"
Somewhat surprised he turned his head and glanced at Li Ran. Henry saw that his serious expression did not look like a lie, and he was a little puzzled: "So it seems that you are doing really well."
It's just that Li Ran did so well, so that he was promoted in just one night.
Henry couldn't help but become curious.
"By the way, why didn't the Chinese restaurant open today?"
After talking briefly about Li Ran's first day of working in the Chinese restaurant, Henry asked immediately after receiving full of questions.
"Because a few gangsters went to the Chinese restaurant last night to destroy them, smashed a lot of things in the restaurant, and needed to be dealt with." Li Ran explained the reason why the Chinese restaurant did not open, and completely ignored them. There was a lot of damage. Part of it was actually caused by his shots, no, his kicks.
Li Ran's answer caused Henry in the barbershop and Luke Cage who was cleaning the window to subconsciously stop their movements.
After a few seconds of silence, Henry shrugged his shoulders to Li Ran with a helpless expression: "Child, welcome to the real Harlem."
Even if the old man tried to maintain the rules in the barbershop and wanted to lead the children in the shop on the right path, he still couldn't change the chaotic facts of Harlem.
"Harlem, everyone has a gun, everyone has no father."
By the window, the silent Luke Cage spoke and made the most accurate description of Harlem.
"In that case, why not stand up and change this place?"
"Change." Faced with Li Ran's question, Luke Cage shook his head helplessly. He put away the rag in his hand, and turned to look at Li Ran behind him: "Do you know Harlem's past, chaos and poverty, Countless people die on the streets of Harlem every day, and countless wives lose their husbands and children lose their fathers. This is how Chico’s father died. This is how Harlem’s past was, and it hasn’t changed much now. ."
"The new district councilor Maria Dillard took office, but she herself was the umbrella of the water bellied snake. It was the water bellied snake who destroyed the Chinese restaurant. So Harlem has never changed, and will only sink. This is Reality. Change, it’s not you who came to Harlem for one day, and foreigners who don’t even know the name Harlem will just talk about it.”
For Harlem, Luke Cage seemed to have a lot to say but didn't say.
"Although I am only an outsider to Harlem, I also know that change does not happen out of thin air when sitting at home and waiting. Those street gangsters use violence to affect Harlem. Why can't anyone stop these in their own way? Violence, through this change, if you don’t do many things, you will never know the result. If you don’t have a dream, what is the difference from a salted fish?"
After a bowl of chicken soup, Luke Cage's expression was obviously shaken.
Standing aside, Old Henry shook his fist unconsciously and opened his mouth as he looked at Luke Cage's appearance, but in the end he chose to remain silent and gave the other party the choice.
However, he soon converged his emotions and returned to the taciturn appearance before.
"You don't have to tell me so much, I'm just an ordinary cleaner." He shook his head, raised the bucket beside him, and planned to go inside.
"No, you are not." Reached out and stopped Luke Cage who wanted to leave, Li Ran looked up at the tall figure and said categorically: "I can feel that you are not an ordinary person, you are Have to change this, to change the people in your mouth who are constantly sinking into the destiny of Harlem."
