Master Fan was taken aback, turned around somewhat awkwardly, rubbing his calloused hands, and said, "This isn't right, Brother Luo."

4.7 Chen Jialuo said, “What’s wrong with that? Sit down.”

He pointed to an empty seat, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Master Fan pursed his lips, and to resist his inferiority complex and sense of hierarchy, he sat down with a slight tremor. After sitting down, he felt that the chair was not a chair, and the table was not a table.

He awkwardly placed his hands on his lap and kept smiling at Chen Jialuo. After smiling for a while, he said, "Miss Car is still in the kitchen."

Chen Jialuo wanted to correct him, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. He figured if he corrected him, he wouldn't understand anyway; he'd just feel embarrassed.

Chapter 403 Drawing Cards

Looking at Master Fan's awkward appearance, Jialuo thought of his own parents. They were the same way, timid and hesitant, always thinking about not causing trouble and enduring things.

Because of their personality, when they were bullied as children, they could only grit their teeth and endure it. Later, when they couldn't bear it anymore, they became ruthless, unable to endure any hardship or loss.

There's a saying that goes, "Either you erupt in silence, or you perish in silence." He was the former.

"Hmm, it takes her a while to make sandwiches." Chen Jialuo said, looking away and picking up a slice of braised beef. He praised, "Chef Fan, your braised beef is really good. Your other dishes are also quite good. You'd definitely open a very popular restaurant. Why did you decide to work for me?"

Master Fan looked distressed and said, “I’ve run this business before, but there are always people who come to cause trouble. This one comes to collect protection money, that one comes to collect protection money. The officials collect even more. Most importantly, some people order food, take only a couple of bites, and then say they found a hair or a nail in dish number 14.”

"I swear to God," Master Fan said, rubbing his bald head. "I don't have any hair at all, how could there be hair in the food? As for the nail, that's even more impossible... But it was no use, I still got scammed."

Chen Jialuo asked, "Didn't they tell us about the protection money collection?" Some officials are indeed more ruthless than the underworld. They have power, and no one is supervising them... making things even more difficult.

Master Fan said, "Yes, I did say it. But it will cost money to resolve this. I don't have that much money with my small business, so I had to close the shop. I came here when I was looking for a job and saw the job posting."

When he came for the interview, he was terrified when he saw it was a triad office. He turned to leave, but it was too late. He could only nervously cook, and afterwards, when he heard about the offer, he laughed and cried at the same time.

They laughed because of the high wages, but cried because they were afraid their wages would be withheld or even not paid at all. After all, it's a triad... But after asking the shop owners and some of the henchmen next door, their concerns were somewhat alleviated.

But he absolutely refused to tell Chen Jialuo these things, fearing that Chen would kick him out.

Chen Jialuo paused for a moment. This was the reality; the law wasn't the law, and it was always the ordinary people at the bottom who suffered. This thought startled him.

When did he become so compassionate and start complaining about the environment? If it weren't for this environment, would he have been able to get back on his feet?

It's both laughable and ridiculous that someone who has already benefited would pity those who have been exploited. In the end, he attributed this "compassion" to his longing for home and his reminiscences of the past.

Just then, Carina came up with a tray. On the tray was a colorful salad, two sandwiches, and a small plate of pickles.

She saw Master Fan sitting at the dining table, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Master Fan, seeing her, quickly and awkwardly stood up and called out, "Miss Car."

Carina was amused by his strange and inaccurate pronunciation and said, "You can call me by another name, Chen Wei. This is the name A Luo gave me."

She took the food off the tray, handed one of the sandwiches to Chen Jialuo, and said to Chef Fan, "I didn't know you were here, so I only made two. You can try my salad and pickles."

Master Fan said with trepidation, "It is already a great honor for me to be able to sit and eat with you."

Looking at his apprehensive yet somewhat obsequious face, Chen Jialuo suddenly lost the desire to speak to him. He silently began to eat, while Carina chatted happily with Chef Fan.

They talked about cooking. Whenever the topic came up, Chef Fan's face was full of confidence. He spoke fluently and confidently, completely forgetting the deep-rooted sense of hierarchy, power, and influence that was ingrained in him.

After lunch, which was breakfast for Jialuo, Carina went to her room for a nap, while Chen Jialuo summoned the system.

The card game has reached stage three. Now, each card costs 33830 million to flip, and ten cards in a row would cost three million. He increasingly missed the days when he first unlocked the system.

Back then, a single card cost 10.

"I've just started to have a little money, and you're already backstabbing me! You can't stand seeing me have money, you want me to be a penniless pauper, can you!"

Chen Jialuo grumbled and cursed, clearly quite displeased.

The system is an insatiable machine; it can squander any amount of money. He couldn't help but think of the damaged NESTS fortress again—even replacing a screw costs money! Everything costs money, except for breathing inside.

Furthermore, while some items can be found as substitutes elsewhere, they can only be purchased from the system store. Otherwise, a matching failure may occur, and other accessories may be damaged.

Thinking of this, Jialuo started cursing again, then let out a breath. He was angry, but he kept complaining.

However, he still deeply understood the system's incredible power; with it, he had the confidence to look down upon the world. Drawing a fighter card was something that couldn't be measured in money.

Chapter 404: Draw Kensou

In any era, the most valuable thing is talent!

With talent, you have everything; without talent, you have nothing.

He currently has about eight million in cash left. He deposited three million, and then quickly opened ten cards while praying silently in his heart.

Damn it, give me a big one, give me a good one!

After a beam of light pierced through, a fighter card came into view—Kensou.

"Finally, I drew a fellow countryman." Jialuo laughed.

Kensou is the male protagonist of Psychic Warriors. He likes to wear casual clothes with blue and white as the main colors. He studies Chinese martial arts under Chin Gentsai and gradually comprehends psychic powers through continuous training.

He deeply admires Athena, but unlike Athena, his superpowers were acquired through arduous training. After Athena joined Chin Gentsai's tutelage, Kensou fell in love with her at first sight and even called himself "Athena's Knight."

But in reality, it was just a one-sided crush on Kensou. After the KOF99 tournament, when Athena was escaping from the NESTS base, she was accidentally hit on the foot by a falling rock. To save Athena, Kensou, who had lost his superpowers, unleashed the "Dragon Aura" hidden within him and saved Athena's life. He then immediately fainted, and the power he had unleashed disappeared.

Even so, he didn't dare to confess his feelings to Athena; he was a pure-love warrior and the king of simps.

After KOF2000, Kensou regained his lost superpowers and then began training to control the "Dragon's Aura" within him.

On the eve of KOF 11, Kensou, having completed his training, returned to the world. Besides being able to control "Dragon's Aura," he stated that he had witnessed too many people perish in their pursuit of power, and therefore he would not deliberately seek the power of "Dragon's Aura."

"Damn it, not bad, not bad! Kensou has already drawn his sword, Athena won't be far behind." Thinking of this, he grinned.

Aside from the fighter Kensou's cards, the remaining nine cards include four experience books, each worth 300 experience points.

The three MP5K 9mm submachine guns, although they were released earlier, remain among the most advanced submachine guns available today. Compared to the HK416 assault rifle I won in the previous draw, they are much easier to carry, as they can be concealed under clothing or in a small storage compartment in a car's dashboard, or even hidden in a specially designed briefcase and fired from there.

As a military enthusiast, Chen Jialuo was well aware of the drawbacks of the MP5K 9mm, which was a miniaturized version of a standard submachine gun by cutting off the barrel. For example, to support the lighter bolt, the recoil spring needed to be strengthened and a buffer needed to be installed. As a result, the miniaturized submachine gun had a very high rate of fire, which made it difficult to control and reduced accuracy when firing in bursts.

This phenomenon is particularly evident in blowback submachine guns. Fortunately, the MP5 submachine gun uses a semi-blowback design. Although this type of bolt has the disadvantages of more parts and higher cost, the slow recoil speed eliminates the need for a powerful recoil spring, thus maintaining high accuracy while increasing the rate of fire by 100 rounds. Shortening the barrel also reduces the muzzle velocity to 375 m/s, with a muzzle energy of 570 joules.

The barrel is shortened, and the handguard is shortened accordingly. To make the gun easier to hold, a vertical foregrip is installed below the barrel. There is a small downward protrusion in front of the foregrip to prevent fingers from sticking out in front of the barrel and getting injured when using it in dark or other conditions. In addition, the rear of the MP5K's receiver has also been shortened.

The sight range is fixed at 25 meters, but it is still a rotating sight for zeroing. After further observation, Chen Jialuo also discovered that the gun is equipped with a small fixed blade front and rear sight, as well as a small 15-round magazine.

Compared to the military version of the HK416 assault rifle he had previously won, the price difference was significant, but Chen Jialuo had already decided who to give these three guns to.

Two for Weiss, one for Haderon. Weiss is well-suited to this type of high-rate-of-fire, highly concealable weapon. Haderon, who is in charge of intelligence, will also have one equipped in his vehicle, which will greatly enhance his combat effectiveness.

Besides the gun, another card caught Chen Jialuo's attention—the Anti-Tank Missile Raider.

This anti-tank missile was developed relatively early and was specifically designed to counter current and future main battle tanks equipped with active reactive armor.

This anti-tank missile employs a top-skimming attack, detonating its shaped charge warhead downwards from the top of the target. The "Predator" missile utilizes lasers and magnetic fields to sense the target's center and attack the vulnerable top of the target.

However, later researchers incorporated existing technology into a weapon system weighing no more than 9.8 kg, but it was ineffective; it still had the ability to deal with tanks.

The power plant consists of two solid-fuel engines, which keep the flame level to a minimum, ensuring good safety. The launch engine burns for 40ms, employing a "soft launch" method to propel the missile out of the launch tube at a relatively low initial velocity (34.8 m/s). Even when launched from a confined space, it avoids excessive noise and pressure buildup, preventing any danger to the gunner.

Chapter 405 Materialization! Kensou!

When the missile is at 5m, the engine stops working, and the missile achieves a maximum flight speed of 300m/s.

Chen Jialuo had previously won a T-30 heavy tank in a lottery. Equipping this heavy tank with anti-tank missiles would undoubtedly be very effective.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Now I have enough guns to form a whole battalion, and I'm even equipped with submarines, missiles, rocket launchers... If I get caught, tsk tsk tsk, that's enough to get me fired four times over."

Chen Jialuo threw all sorts of experience books and missiles into the mall's warehouse, and directly materialized the Chui Quan Chong.

Instantly, the card shone brightly, and the figure of Kensou appeared before him. Emerging from the card, Kensou looked completely bewildered.

Unlike the Pig-Dog duo, Igniz's immediate goal was to kill Chen Jialuo.

Wearing his signature blue and white tai chi uniform, Shii Kensou glanced around, then looked at Chen Jialuo and asked, "Brother, where am I? Did you summon me?"

As a disciple of the orthodox school, 383, Shii Kenchō, has his own beliefs and wants to serve the people.

“Yes, just call me Brother Luo.” As soon as Chen Jialuo finished speaking, Carina came out of the bedroom, yawning.

Upon seeing Kensou, he was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "It seems our team has grown stronger again. Kensou, do you remember? We met once before, you were a cultivator from our country."

Kensou blinked, recognized Carina, and said, "I remember now, you are Kula's mother, and you used to work in NESTS."

Carina smiled and said, "To be precise, I am Kula's guardian and her superior. But it's not entirely wrong to say that I am Kula's mother, as we share the same blood."

Because she is a clone of Kula's mother, but not a complete clone; her body also incorporates genes from other people. She once...

He was also a cadre of the NESTS Fortress, but died unexpectedly during human modification.

And so she appeared and successfully underwent human modification. This is quite poignant for someone who has lived in Hong Kong for three years and was almost forgetting her past.

She couldn't help but think that comfort could indeed change a person.

Mentioning Kula also brought back memories for Chen Jialuo. Kula Delmondo is a character from the fighting game series "The King of Fighters".

Her screen time wasn't long, but it was very memorable.

Kula is K's friend and manipulates "Anti-K Art," using "ice," the opposite of "fire." Her hair is originally brown, but turns blue during battle. Her long blue hair reaches her waist and is sometimes used as arrows. She wears a tight-fitting outfit similar to sportswear.

Her long, blue hair made her look like a mermaid from a fairy tale. This stirred a surge of excitement in Chen Jialuo, who couldn't help but think: If Kula were summoned too, and Carina and the other girl were together...

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head, scorning himself, and thought to himself that evil was truly too evil.
