If you were made a mascot, you would become a legend in the police force.

The gunshots in the corridor sounded like firecrackers during the Lunar New Year, making Li Tuantuan's eardrums ache.

If he were still human, Li Tuantuan would have been terrified by now, probably cowering in some corner, trembling with fear, worried that he'd die before he could even pay off his mortgage. But things are different now. Now he's a bear, and a bear with superpowers.

Although the system gave me [Basic Copper Skin and Iron Bones], it's not invincible. Bullets can't penetrate that thick layer of fat and reinforced fur, but it still hurts! It feels like someone is using a slingshot to keep shooting glass marbles at you, the kind that are soaked in chili water.

"Ouch—!" (That hurts like hell!)

Li Tuantuan yelled and raised the two riot shields in his hands even higher. These two shields were snatched from those two unlucky bodyguards earlier; they were of pretty good quality, and he didn't know where Old K got his hands on military-grade equipment. They were perfect for providing cover now.

He stood there, stuck in the middle of the corridor, his 300-pound frame making him look like a small mountain. He held a shield in his left hand and another in his right, with only his small, dark-circled eyes showing, staring intently at the group of mercenaries opposite him who were frantically pulling the trigger.

The group of people on the other side were also stunned.

They've fought wars, killed people, and even clashed with regular armies. But who the hell has ever seen a panda, like a Spartan warrior, wielding two shields and pushing forward?

"Hit its legs! Hit its legs!" Viper shouted hysterically from behind, his voice as sharp as fingernails scratching a blackboard.

This woman isn't quite dead yet. Although that slap left half her face swollen like a steamed bun, the ferocity is still there. She's holding a submachine gun and is firing at Li Tuantuan's feet while shouting.

Li Tuantuan was furious.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: This woman is really vicious, she specifically targets my groin area. If I were crippled, how would I ever be able to act cute at the zoo again? How would I ever be able to hug someone's leg and ask for milk?

He lowered his shield to protect his feet, his entire body shrinking into a huge black and white ball of flesh, and then exerted force suddenly.

charge!

The floor tiles made a teeth-grinding cracking sound. Li Tuantuan, like a solid cannonball, crashed into the barrage of bullets.

The mercenaries in front stared at the two rapidly enlarging shields, and only one thought remained in their minds: This is not scientific.

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

The two unlucky guys at the very front were slammed into the wall by the shield and couldn't be pried off. Taking advantage of the momentum, Li Tuantuan used the shield like a fly swatter, swinging it to the left and sweeping it to the right.

The scene was horrific.

A guy with an AK was grazed on the shoulder by the edge of a shield, flying sideways and smashing a half-person-high blue-and-white porcelain vase next to him. It was Old K's favorite antique, supposedly worth hundreds of thousands.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: Oh dear, may you be safe and sound. Old K, this isn't my fault, it's just that your people are too weak.

Li Tuantuan was engaged in a fierce battle, but he was actually burning with anxiety inside.

How is Lin Wan doing?

He risked his life just now to buy her this little bit of time. If this silly girl couldn't escape, wouldn't all the beating he took have been for nothing? That USB drive contained evidence of Old K's crimes, and it was also the guarantee of Li Tuantuan's long-term meal ticket for the rest of her life!

"Don't let it come any closer! Grenades! Throw grenades!" Viper went completely mad when bullets weren't working.

Two dark objects were thrown out from behind the crowd, tracing an arc as they headed straight for Li Tuantuan.

Li Tuantuan's eyelids twitched.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: Holy crap! You can't take a joke, huh? This is indoors! Do you want to tear the house down?

Although he has thick skin, he's not confident enough to withstand a grenade. If it explodes, his prized fur will probably be charred, and he'll be more suited to being roasted than a national treasure.

At this critical moment, Li Tuantuan made a decision that was extremely contrary to her ancestors' wishes.

He threw away the shield in his left hand.

Then, the furry bear paw flashed through the air, catching one of the grenades with pinpoint accuracy. Immediately afterward, as if hitting a baseball, he swung his right shield, swatting the other grenade back.

"Get out of here!"

The two grenades flew back into the crowd at an even faster speed than when they arrived.

The snake's pupils dilated instantly.

"Get down!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Two loud explosions followed, filling the corridor with smoke and dust, and flames shot into the sky.

While throwing the grenade, Li Tuantuan had already used a lazy panda roll to retreat into the next room. The blast wave pushed him, causing him to slide several meters on the floor, his buttocks hitting the bed leg, making him wince in pain.

"Cough cough cough..."

The room was full of dust. Li Tuantuan shook the dust off her head; her ears were ringing.

He got up and peeked out the door.

The corridor was a mess. The mercenaries lay scattered on the floor, some groaning, others motionless. The venomous snake was gone; it had probably fled when things went wrong.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: Is this woman a rabbit? She runs so fast?

But now is not the time to worry about her.

Li Tuantuan picked up the shield that wasn't broken yet and prepared to rush downstairs. He needed to find Lin Wan and make sure she was safe.

Just as he stepped out the door, he heard a commotion of footsteps downstairs, along with Ah Qiang's hoarse voice: "Seal off the main gate! Don't let that woman get away! The boss said, catch her alive!"

Li Tuantuan's heart skipped a beat.

Lin Wan is still in the villa!

This silly girl, she usually seems quite clever, how come she messes up at a crucial moment? It's been several minutes, and she still hasn't run out?

Actually, it's not Lin Wan's fault. The manor was built like a maze, with surveillance cameras and hidden sentries everywhere. Although she was quite skilled, she couldn't fight against so many opponents, and with the crucial USB drive to protect, her movements were inevitably limited.

At this moment, Lin Wan was hiding in the storage room of the kitchen on the first floor.

She clutched her bleeding arm, her face pale. She had been spotted by the patrol outside when she jumped out the window, and during the ensuing firefight, she had been shot in the arm. Now, the outside was packed with people; she couldn't possibly get out.

"Roll away..."

Lin Wan gripped the gun tightly; it was her last bullet. She didn't regret coming here, nor did she regret bringing Li Tuantuan along. Her only regret was that if she really died here, she would never see that cheeky panda again, never feel him holding her again.

Just then, she heard a loud bang from above.

It looked like the ceiling had collapsed.

Immediately following was a familiar, heavy sound of footsteps, accompanied by that distinctive "hmm" sound.

Lin Wan's eyes lit up.

That was her knight in shining armor, or rather, her knight in shining armor, who came to save her.

Li Tuantuan jumped directly from the second floor.

He didn't take the stairs, which is normal human thinking. As a panda with human-like intelligence, he knew that taking the stairs at this moment would make him an easy target. So he chose a more violent path—smashing through the floor.

Old K's villa was luxuriously decorated, but the floors were also made of wood. Li Tuantuan found the right spot, directly above the kitchen, and then used a heavy weight.

With a weight of 300 pounds, plus the system's strength boost.

"Crack—Boom!"

Li Tuantuan, covered in sawdust and dust, crashed into the kitchen like a meteorite, landing right in front of the chef who was searching the kitchen.

The chef, holding a cleaver, stared dumbfounded at the black and white behemoth descending from the sky.

Li Tuantuan got up from the ground, shook her fur, looked at the cleaver in the chef's hand, and then looked disdainfully at the chef's trembling legs.

"Huh?" (You want to cut me?)

The chef threw down the cleaver with a clang, raised his hands, and knelt down with a thud.

"Grandpa Bear, have mercy! I'm just a cook!"

Li Tuantuan ignored him and twitched her nose twice.

He smelled blood. It was Lin Wan's scent.

Over there! The storage room!

Li Tuantuan's eyes turned cold. She slapped the refrigerator door that was blocking her way and strode towards the storage room.

At that moment, A-Qiang led his men into the kitchen.

"There! Fire!"

Li Tuantuan glanced back, his eyes showing no fear, only disgust at the sight of trash. The shield in his hand was tattered beyond recognition, but he didn't care.

Because he used his last merit points to exchange for an awesome weapon!

[Product: Bruce Lee style nunchucks (alloy version)]

Price: 500 merit points.

[Introduction: Quickly use the nunchucks, hmph ha ha hee! Comes with a master-level staff technique bonus.]

Li Tuantuan grinned, revealing sharp fangs.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: Nunchucks? I'm a pro at those! In my past life, I practiced them specifically to impress girls, though I didn't end up with the girl and even got a swollen head. But now, with the system's support, isn't this going to be amazing?

The next second, a gleaming silver nunchuck appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Li Tuantuan threw the broken shield at A-Qiang's face, then gripped the nunchucks with both hands and assumed a classic starting stance.

"Ada—!"
