Chapter 3 Run, boy

"Damn it! Athena, how am I going to get out of here?"

"This is the depth of your soul. You can leave at any time if you want to."

William thought to himself that he was in trouble, and in the blink of an eye the scene in front of him changed back to his bedroom. He glanced at the watch and saw that it was already eight forty, and he still had twenty minutes.

"Damn, I'm going to be late!" Without any time to waste, William put on the delivery boy's clothes and rushed downstairs. He had a bicycle from the pizza shop, so if he pedaled faster, he might still be in time.

But as soon as he ran downstairs, he found that his bicycle had been stolen.

The Sixth Street District where he lives is the most chaotic place in Brooklyn. The public security here is poor, gangs are rampant, and even the police turn a blind eye.

If the rent here wasn't cheap, William wouldn't be willing to live in this damn place.

He locked his bicycle under a tree last night, but when he looked in the morning, he only saw the lock and the bicycle was gone!
"Oh, shit!" William scratched his hair, feeling terrible. Not to mention that he would definitely be fined for being late for work, he would definitely be scolded by his boss for losing the bicycle in the store, and he might even be fired.

This is simply bad news for William, who is already struggling financially.

Time passed by minute by minute, and now it is already 8:45. Even if I run, I can't catch up.

"Athena, I need help!"

"William, I have successfully unlocked the Soldier 76 skill for you: Sprint."

Sprint: Boy, you're even faster now. You can sprint quickly for a short period of time to avoid fire or rush into enemy territory.

Note: You can jump farther by jumping while sprinting.

Without time to think, William ran forward. While running, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and every step provided him with a strong propulsion. He was like an arrow shot from a bow, and the surrounding scenery whizzed by.

"Mom, come and see Captain America." A little blonde girl pointed at William who was running past and said.

The young mother immediately grabbed the little girl's hand and said, "Let's stay away from him. He's running so fast, maybe he's a thief."

Soldier 76, like Captain America, has been enhanced as a super soldier, and their physical fitness is different from that of ordinary people, so William knows that if he uses the sprint skill, he will definitely not be slower than riding a bicycle.

"William, the sprint skill is your novice benefit. You can only use the following skills after you obtain new heroes or new skills."

William rolled his eyes. He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

One minute before work time, he saw the pizza shop sign from afar: Jonathan's Pizza Fast Food Restaurant
When William ran to the door of the store, he didn't even breathe. He had just run at a very fast speed for more than ten minutes. If it were him in the past, he would have collapsed on the ground and foamed at the mouth.

It is worthy of being the skill of Deserter 76. When he was playing the game, this skill was basically used to escape.

"William, you are late!" William just opened the door of the restaurant and saw the restaurant owner with a stern face.

The owner's name is Jonathan, and yes, the restaurant is named after him.

Jonathan was not actually from Brooklyn. He was an Asian immigrant. There was nothing wrong with the boss, except that he liked to take advantage of others. William looked down at him. Why did he look down at him? Because the boss was only 1.6 meters tall, while William was 1.8 meters tall. Jonathan had to look up when he looked at him.

"But you were only one minute late, so I won't deduct your money this time." Jonathan's originally serious face suddenly smiled, "There are a lot of orders today, you have to complete your work seriously."

"Thank you, boss. I'll pay attention next time." William thought to himself, I was only one minute late, do you still want to fire me? But he still said this politely.

Not long after, the restaurant waiter brought more than ten pizzas on a cart. The pizzas were stacked together and were almost half a person's height.

"You have to be kidding me!" William couldn't help but say. Even if his bicycle was still there, it would be difficult to deliver so many pizzas, not to mention that his bicycle was stolen and he had to carry all these pizzas to deliver the food.

"Thank you for your hard work, William. Today is a promotion day. You must deliver the goods on time and don't let the customers down." Jonathan patted William on the shoulder and said earnestly. It seemed that this stingy boss did not want to let him go.

If it was William in the past, he might not have been able to do it. With so many pizzas, he would definitely not have enough time. But William now is different. He has the help of the Overwatch system. Even if he doesn't have a bicycle, he can still run to deliver the food.

Delivering food by sprinting sounds simple, but it is quite difficult to actually do it. Not to mention whether the traffic police will stop you, you are running at a super fast speed with so many pizzas in your arms, what if the pizza spills?
William held the dozen pizzas in his arms tightly to make sure they wouldn't fall over. The top pizza box was almost touching his chin, and he finally managed to stick his head out.

So when he delivered the first pizza, he still didn't dare run too fast. He found the nearest address and jogged all the way there.

When the customers saw William holding a huge stack of pizzas, they were also shocked. They thought, what’s going on? I only ordered one, and these are all given away for free?

"A special event is triggered, and the hidden mission begins!"

“Hidden Mission: Marathon: Run 10 kilometers in Brooklyn without using any skills.”

William had just delivered the first takeaway when Athena's voice rang in his mind.

Athena said that the so-called hidden tasks can only be triggered when special events occur. I didn't expect that running to deliver pizza is actually a special event.

This task looks simple, but it does not allow the use of any skills, which means that William cannot sprint to complete the task.

But William had no time to think about the task, and now he had to hurry up and deliver the takeaway. After he delivered the second, third, and fourth pizzas, the number of pizza boxes in his arms finally decreased. He immediately started sprinting and ran towards the destination at full speed.

On the streets of Brooklyn, a young man with golden hair ran faster than an old man's scooter, which surprised passers-by. Even the police on the roadside thought it was a lion running out of the zoo.

After sprinting begins, William's stamina will be consumed continuously. When the stamina is exhausted, the running speed will slow down and the sprinting state will be released. After the stamina is restored, this skill can be used again. During this period, he can only run slowly and complete tasks at the same time.

Before long, he successfully delivered ten takeouts and only had the last one left in his hand.

William wiped the sweat off his head. Today's results were pretty good. He ran to the last store with the remaining pizza.

Just as he was passing through a quiet alley, a woman's scream came from not far away: "Catch the thief, he stole my bag!"

A young man wearing a mask snatched a middle-aged woman's handbag and ran away. The middle-aged woman wanted to chase him but couldn't catch up at all. The thief ran towards William and shouted:
"Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"
