Marvel: The games I made have invaded reality.

Chapter 2; Lester, the Wheelchair-bound Hacking Expert

After receiving the system reward, the old revenge plan naturally followed: after eliminating all the enemies, the owner took over the modification shop and used it as a trading location.

After all, given his status, many rare materials and equipment are beyond his reach; he can only obtain them through other connections.

As the reputation of the modification shop's weapon performance gradually spread throughout Hell's Kitchen, Kingpin took notice of it, and thus many of his materials were provided by the shop.

Subsequent progress has accelerated considerably, with the development of atomic engines for vehicle-mounted systems recently completed.

…………

Queens, Roosevelt Road, Wall Apartments.

As the deep rumble faded away, Merlin stepped out of the car and took the elevator to his home.

Just as he inserted the key and turned it, a stern reprimand rang out beside him.

"Merlin, you need to wear a helmet when you ride your motorcycle from now on, and don't come back so late. It's too dangerous for you to ride your motorcycle so casually on the street."

The door next door opened quickly, and a middle-aged man in a suit, exuding righteousness, walked out. His sharp eyes looked at the young man in work clothes with a hint of helplessness.

George Stacy, the sheriff of Liberty City's Manhattan district, is also the father of his classmate Gwen Stacy.

They were also Merlin's neighbors.

The original owner's father was an offline member of the Liberty City Police Department and a friend of George.

Last time, he was killed by his enemies because his identity was exposed. The original owner of this body was also caught on his way to school.

Therefore, George, who had promised to take care of Merlin, felt very guilty. When he opened his eyes after traveling through time, the first thing he saw was George's guilty face.

"Okay, thank you." Merlin had never known how to respond to the other person's kindness, so he could only return a kind smile and open the door to enter his home.

"Bang!"

George looked at the closed door, opened his mouth, but finally sighed.

"Merlin, I understand your desire to commemorate your father through the custom shop, but Hell's Kitchen is too chaotic, and it's dangerous for a child like you."

"So, I hope that this holiday... you can stay at home obediently."

…………

There was no response from inside the room. George grimaced and returned home in frustration.

Faced with his wife's questioning gaze on the sofa, he could only shrug helplessly.

"How about Gwen takes him to a band? Maybe he should relax and distract himself," his wife suggested after George poured himself a drink and sat back on the sofa.

“No, that kid goes straight to his father’s custom shop every day and doesn’t want to go anywhere else.” George shook his head. “He’s like a silent calf; you can’t pull him back.”

He somewhat annoyedly gulped down the wine in his glass.

"That's because you're always busy with something, which allowed those people to go directly to the school." The wife had no other choice but to complain.

George didn't say anything, but simply poured himself another glass of wine.

…………

In the next room, Merlin made himself a scallion pancake for a late-night snack, then washed up and lay down on the bed, immersing himself in the system.

[Reputation points have reached three million. Rewards: Supercharged Technology, Electromagnetic Pulse Gun Technology, MK2 Combat Gun]

Seeing that he didn't have the technology he wanted, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

The reward is issued every 500,000 units, with each reward consisting of three to ten technical documents, depending on the difficulty of the technology.

The game has been released for three months now, and in this era, reaching three million downloads is already a record-breaking achievement in the gaming industry.

However, Merlin does not intend to stop here. When the time is right, the real-world version should also be launched, and then Liberty City will be even more free.

Los Santos is no exception.

After digesting the technology in his mind, Merlin opened his laptop again and started browsing game forums.

[Can anyone take me to the casino? I mainly want to unlock clothes.]

[First time playing a post-apocalyptic game, anyone want to join?]

[Anyone interested in a job at Quanfu Bank?]

How do I unlock explosive bullets? I need a tutorial.

[Let's go to the island, let's go to the island, let's bring the newcomers to the island...]

[Who said you can shoot open a money transport vehicle? They're already poor!]

Merlin's beard, this game is truly amazing. I feel like all the games I've played before were filthy.

[Oh shit, I just went to Zanku to borrow a plane for fun, how come I got three stars right away?]

[Where dreams begin, Beiyang Keton!]

…………

As the game became increasingly popular, in addition to game forums, major news newspapers also reported on it.

Daily Bugle: Morality and the Rule of Law 5 is not just a crazy and fun video game, but also a satire of the dark reality of contemporary America.

Brook Times: This is a game that transcends all single-player and multiplayer modes, both online and offline. The three main characters each have their own backstories, and it's a massive sandbox.

Liberty Times: Although the game contains a lot of violence, it is still an excellent game.

…………

Of course, while there was a lot of praise, there was also a fair amount of criticism.

…………

"Ding!" Just as Merlin was looking at the online comments with great interest, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and looked at it; it was a payment notification.

Kingpin should have received the goods and transferred the money.

…………

After browsing the forum for a while, Merlin felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

Now that we've acquired the electromagnetic pulse gun technology, we need to find a way to obtain the equipment and materials we need.

…………

In the last two weeks, Merlin's modification shop did not experience any major incidents, seemingly due to Kingpin's deliberate leniency, and therefore no one dared to cause trouble.

Merlin was not surprised by this; given the large number of weapons and modified vehicles being sold, Kingpin could not possibly have ignored him.

Although Merlin's father was an unofficial member and had a close relationship with Manhattan Sheriff George, he could still make some moves through the events that occurred during that time.

On the day the holiday ended, Merlin opened his system.

[Reputation value has reached 3.5 million. Rewards obtained: Spike Phantom Modification Technology, Leicester Hacking Technology, 801 Batty Technology]

Leicester the God of Wealth!

Merlin's eyes lit up when he saw today's reward.

Lester's hacking skills are beyond question; he can not only hack into the police system to remove bounties, but also help you set bounties for others.

In addition, it can also decipher Fopo's project documents.

He planned many large-scale cases, both online and offline.

I ate a bit too much...
