America: The Gear-Up Detective

Precision Rifle Competition

"Get some rest tonight, you have dark circles under your eyes."

Liu Qingxi hadn't recovered yet. After a moment of dazed disorientation, she seemed to hear Luo De say something, but then thought she had misheard.

How can someone criticize another person's dark circles right after a kiss?

"What?"

As consciousness gradually took over her mind, Liu Qingxi subconsciously asked a question.

"Ahem." Rod wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and continued, "It's getting late. Won't you invite me up for a bit?"

"You...you wish!" Liu Qingxi reached out and pushed away Luo De, who was still standing close to her.

He reached out and straightened his clothes.

Then, with misty eyes, she glared at Rhodes before reaching out and holding her hand up in front of him.

"What?" Rod asked, puzzled.

"Give me that thing you bought... first..." Liu Qingxi turned her head, somewhat embarrassed.

Rod knew what she was talking about. After hesitating for a moment, he took 001 out of his pocket.

Place it in Liu Qingxi's palm.

I don't know what she's going to do.

Liu Qingxi opened the packaging box.

In Rhodes's vision, one of the sections of the barrier elf emitted a faint golden light.

So it turns out this whole box wasn't full of equipment, but just one item?

After carefully counting for a while, Liu Qingxi put everything back into the box and returned it to Luo De.

"You just wanted to count the number?" Rod smiled as he looked at Liu Qingxi's profile, which was still slightly flushed.

"Is that not allowed?!" A deliberately fierce voice rang out.

"It's possible, but it's clearly printed on the packaging..."

"I...how would I know...I've never used it..." A voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz drifted through the carriage.

Rod raised an eyebrow.

The two chatted in the car for a while longer. Looking at Liu Qingxi, who was nodding and dozing off, Luo De smiled and reached out to touch her hair.

It's very smooth.

She then said, "It's getting late, aren't you going upstairs to rest? Or can I come up and keep you company?"

Feeling Rhodes's affectionate gesture, Liu Qingxi subconsciously rubbed against him, her somewhat dazed mind only then realizing what Rhodes had said.

She quickly perked up and said, "I...I'll head back now."

Then, opening the car door, she turned back to look at Rod before leaving, "Be careful on the road. And... don't do anything reckless!"

Rod knew what she meant, and then smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Watching Liu Qingxi turn back every few steps before finally walking into the hotel apartment, Rod took a deep breath.

The lingering scent of jasmine in the air wafted into my nostrils once more.

"I just had a battle with Leila last night, and today I'm flirting with Liu Qingxi."

Was I really this bad?

He immediately shook his head violently, "Impossible! As an ambitious young person who grew up under the red flag, this isn't my fault. It must be that the original owner's memories influenced me too deeply!"

Rod nodded in deep agreement, then saw the light in Liu Qingxi's room turn on.

Seeing Liu Qingxi's little head peeking out of the window, Rod blew her a kiss and then drove away.

If this had happened before, when Rhode had just acquired his first or second piece of equipment, he would have been eager to find a secluded corner and start equipping it.

But now, Rod has matured a lot and can at least control his impulses to go home.

I just got back to my place.

Inside the bedroom, Rod drew the curtains.

Take out a 001 and look at the square object in front of you that is faintly golden.

"assembly!"

[Equipment assembly in progress... Assembly complete... Information updated, please check promptly.]

Then, a semi-transparent light screen appeared in front of Rhodes.

Name: Rod Lee

[System Shop (2/3): Specific Skill Level Upgrade (Fixed)]

The moment the assembly was successful, Rod felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

Especially around the two kidneys, it felt as if they had been removed and were soaking in a warm, cozy hot spring, making Rhodes feel weak all over.

o

He then collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early morning.

Three seconds before the alarm clock was about to ring, Rod suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling, showing no sign of having just woken up.

My finger hovered above the phone screen, and after three seconds, "buzzing~~"

After turning off the alarm clock, Rod went to the sink and looked at himself in the mirror. His eyes were bright and his spirits were high, making him look much more energetic.

I touched both sides of my kidneys.

"As the old saying goes, the kidneys store essence, essence generates marrow, and marrow nourishes the eyes. The ancients were right."

I was already nearsighted, but after getting the "glasses full of love," my vision returned to normal, and my eyesight and observation skills even improved.

However, his eyes still looked somewhat lifeless, and there were even traces of bloodshot in them.

But now, his eyes are clear and bright, and his whole demeanor is much more energetic.

After admiring the changes in myself for a while.

Rod began washing up.

Before I could even start making myself breakfast, my phone rang.

The caller ID reads: Brother Kyle Lee.

Rod looked at the caller ID and was somewhat surprised. Kyle rarely called him unless there was something wrong.

Why are you calling so early in the morning? Is something wrong?

"Hey, Kyle, what's wrong?"

"Good morning, Rhodes," came Kyle's relaxed, even slightly amused voice from the other end of the phone.

Rhodes felt a little relieved; nothing serious should have happened.

"Is that not allowed?"

"I'm sorry you're late. Someone already applied for this job yesterday," Rod replied with a smile.

On the other end of the phone, Kyle whistled. "Looks like my little brother's back in the flower garden again? Got a target this time?"

"I'm serious this time, Kyle." Rod recalled Liu Qingxi's awkward response when they kissed in the car last night.

"Of course, of course, I understand, you are serious about each one."

"But your seriousness has an expiration date." Kyle clearly didn't take Rhodes' words seriously.

Rhodes shrugged, unconcerned by Kyle's teasing, because that was the kind of person Rhodes always was.

"What's wrong, Kyle? My breakfast is about to burn."

"You actually got up to make breakfast?" Kyle's voice suddenly grew louder, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Rod held the phone away from his ear before he heard Kyle's explanation.

"It's about the question you asked me last time, about your idea of ​​doing a side hustle on YouTube."

"How so?" To be honest, Rhodes hadn't really cared much about this side hustle, otherwise he wouldn't have gone so long without asking.

My colleague's reply was, "Yes and no."

Some cases require approval from higher authorities.

Some cases that have been closed and officially announced by the police can be handled independently, with some detailed case-handling information provided.

This could be a summary of a case or a case report, but remember that all information about the individuals involved must be anonymized.

"Is that so? That's pretty much what I expected."

Every so often, the LAPD releases case notices. For cases with significant impact, a press conference is held during the middle and later stages of the investigation, during which details of the case are revealed.

It is certainly permissible for Rod to share his case-handling experiences after the official announcement.

"Just for this?"

"There's one more thing."

Grandpa has almost recovered. Some of his old friends told him that your marksmanship was quite good when you hunted coyotes last time.

Someone wants to ask you for a favor and asked me to pass on their message, asking when you're free.

"Help? What is it?"

During the last hunt, Rhode had just upgraded his skills and was a little too eager to hunt, so he went a bit overboard.

"I heard it's about a precision rifle competition."
