"Buzz!"
The plane took off quickly and sped into the sky.
Ten minutes later, the plane broke out of the troposphere and entered the stratosphere.
At this point, the clouds were pressed down by the plane, and the intensity of sunlight radiation was not much different from that outside the atmosphere.
[Sunlight value +1 +1 +1 +1...]
Mark's daylight value immediately and rapidly increased.
On the ground, it takes five minutes to increase the daylight value by one point, but here it only takes one minute to increase it by five points!
"Great! I've finally found a quick way to gain Sunlight Points!"
Mark was overjoyed.
As the level of superpower increases, the amount of sunlight required to continue upgrading also increases.
Even if Mark sunbathed every day, it would probably take him more than ten years to upgrade his super brain to LV10 and unlock his second ability.
Mark also tried other methods, such as using various devices to focus sunlight, but none of them worked.
Unexpectedly, after the plane entered the stratosphere, his efficiency in obtaining sunlight increased significantly, which allowed him to arrive much earlier!
Mark has decided that once he has earned enough money, he will immediately buy a private jet and will use it for everything from work to living and working!
When the plane landed in New York, Mark realized that he had absorbed a total of 3160 points of sunlight along the way.
When he was on the ground, it would have taken him at least a month to absorb this much sunlight!
Mark slung his backpack over his shoulder and reluctantly walked out of the plane with the rest of the crew.
Upon returning to Earth, his efficiency in gaining sunlight indeed slowed down again.
Kellerb had already booked a hotel near the Fantasyland Children's Park, and after leaving the airport, he and his group drove to the hotel.
Chapter 18 Purchasing Equipment (Signed, please add to your favorites)
"There are a lot of gangs in New York, so if you go out, don't mess with them."
Keller gave the crew some special instructions on the way.
Los Angeles also has gangs, but there are fewer gangs there, and most gang families have been passed down for three or four generations. Large-scale fights are rare, and they even help the local police department maintain law and order.
On the contrary, in New York, various new gangs are constantly emerging, and they are constantly clashing with the old gangs in order to compete for profits.
We'll be careful!
Everyone nodded in agreement; some didn't take it seriously, while others took Kellerb's reminder to heart.
Mark already felt insecure after arriving in an unfamiliar place.
Upon hearing Kellerb's words, he immediately decided to add more measures to protect his safety.
Actually, if his family hadn't been so short of money before, he really wouldn't have wanted to take on this role that required filming in New York.
After all, he has a cheat-like advantage, so staying at home and quietly getting stronger is the best option for him.
The group quickly arrived at the hotel and checked into their respective rooms.
"Ring ring..."
Back in his room, Mark's phone rang.
"Boss, I have cashed all the drafts for today and transferred the money to your bank card. I have also compiled the email addresses of the game buyers and sent them to your email address."
After the call was connected, a young man's voice came through.
"Thank you for your hard work, Roger."
Mark nodded and then hung up the phone.
Roger was a new employee recently recruited by Mark, whose job was to exchange money orders at the post office and to compile a list of email addresses of players who had purchased Stardew Valley games.
As Stardew Valley becomes increasingly popular on various gaming forums, the number of players buying the game every day is also increasing, with tens of thousands of people sending money orders every day.
Just sorting through these people's email addresses every day is already a heavy workload, so Mark certainly wouldn't exploit his mother, Rosalie.
Therefore, he hired Roger to take charge of this matter.
"Alice, send the registration codes to all players who have purchased the game."
Mark gave Alice the order.
He then turned on his computer and browsed a military supplies website, intending to buy some items to protect his safety.
Now that Mark has over $100 million in his bank account, he naturally doesn't need to be as careful with his money as before.
He first spent $200,000 to purchase five top-of-the-line small drones.
He then spent over $1 to buy two stun guns, as well as matching insulated gloves, insulated shoes, and insulated vests.
Mark is only 5 years old and cannot legally own a gun, nor can he withstand the recoil of a firearm.
The stun gun is not a controlled weapon and has no recoil, so it was perfect for him.
However, ordinary stun guns are too weak.
Many people only feel pain after being hit, which does not affect their movement, let alone render them unable to fight.
Therefore, Mark ordered a set of disassembly tools, a set of welding tools, and some electronic components from another welding materials website, intending to modify the stun gun after purchasing it.
This is, of course, illegal.
However, Mark doesn't use it normally, so when a real danger arises, who cares about whether it's illegal or not!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The film crew has not officially started shooting yet in the past three days.
Caleb and his crew were making final preparations on set, while Rosalie and the rest of the cast gathered every day to review the script.
Mark only went once, then got bored and stopped going, returning to his room to continue working on Alice's code.
As the female lead, Rosalie naturally has to be there every time; she can't possibly be absent.
After she demonstrated her acting skills, the other actors gradually accepted her as the lead actress in the series.
Only Rachel and another actress named Tracy spoke to Rosalie in a sarcastic and veiled manner.
Given Rosalie's personality, she couldn't openly confront them in front of so many people, so she could only suffer in silence.
"Mom, I bought some things. Could you go to the hotel entrance to receive them for me?"
On the morning of the third day, Mark called Rosalie.
The items he ordered online have been delivered to the hotel entrance by the delivery person.
Mark is still a minor, so these things can only be purchased in Sally's name.
Rosalie went down to the lobby, found the deliveryman, paid by card, and then had him carry the items to Mark's room.
"Mark, what did you buy?"
Rosalie looked at the large box being carried into the room and asked in surprise.
"Buy some good things that can protect our safety."
After the deliveryman left, Mark closed the door and answered while unpacking the box.
"These are drones? Mark, what are you doing buying so many drones?"
Rosalie quickly noticed what was inside the box and asked questions in confusion.
She paid no attention to the two stun guns below.
"From now on, when we go out, I'll have Alice control the drone to hover above us and monitor our surroundings for any potential dangers..."
Mark explained to Rosalie as he installed the drone.
After he finished installing and debugging, he immediately ordered Alice: "Alice, check the area around the hotel for any safety hazards."
"Okay, Mark."
One of the drones immediately flew out of the room window.
The Hilton Hotel where Mark was staying was surrounded by buildings, including office buildings, supermarkets, residential apartment buildings, and other hotels.
The drones flew quickly around these buildings, and as long as they didn't stay for a long time, they wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
Mark and Rosalie could see detailed footage captured by the drone through a monitor connected to the drone.
Mark originally just wanted to test the drone's performance, but soon Alice's urgent voice rang out in the room.
"Danger target detected! Danger target detected!"
Then, a scene on the monitor froze instantly.
Upon seeing the image on the monitor, both Mark and Rosalie's expressions changed.
The drone captured footage of another hotel not far from the Hilton Hotel.
Through the gap in the curtains, one could see a young white man wearing a camouflage vest, with a full beard and bulging muscles, standing at the window of the hotel room, holding binoculars and pointing them towards the Hilton Hotel.
What alarmed Mark even more was that there seemed to be a sniper rifle at the young man's feet!
Although only half of the gun barrel could be seen, it was already terrifying to behold.
"what!"
Rosalie gasped in surprise, her face turning pale with fear.
She had initially thought Mark was being overly pessimistic, but after witnessing this scene, she finally felt afraid.
"Mom, don't worry, he's probably not targeting us."
Mark comforted Rosalie.
Based on the other person's gaze, he judged that the young man's target should be staying on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel.
Despite saying this, Mark still went over and closed the window facing the other person, and drew the curtains.
Chapter Nineteen: Modifying Weapons
After flying around the Hilton Hotel, the drone captured footage of an arms deal, three drug deals, two shootings, and a murder and body concealment incident.
The drone flies at extremely high speeds, and the images flash by so quickly that they are impossible to see with the naked eye.
But Alice was able to analyze these images frame by frame, detect the anomalies, and then send them to Mark.
"Is New York really this chaotic?"
Rosalie's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the unusual image Alice had marked.
Mark, however, thought it was Alice's doing.
Without Alice using drones to explore, they would have only seen the superficial prosperity of New York, just like everyone else.
In the afternoon, the disassembly and welding tools that Mark had purchased arrived.
After he had Rosalie take the things upstairs, he began modifying the two stun guns.
Originally, these two stun guns had a voltage of 5 volts and a current of only 3 milliamps, with five pairs of stun needles in the magazine as bullets.
Most ordinary people will convulse and fall to the ground after being shot, but strong people may only feel pain.
Mark was naturally very dissatisfied with the toy-like power of the stun gun.
He removed the plastic casing from the stun gun, revealing the circuit board inside.
Mark had previously studied books such as "Circuit Diagrams", "Tesla Coils", "High-Frequency Electronic Circuits", and "High-Voltage Technology".
The dense array of circuit boards before him was as clear as lines on the palm of his hand.
After removing some components and replacing them with newly purchased electronic components, Mark quickly completed the modification of one of the stun guns.
This modified stun gun has a voltage of 20 volts and a current of 100 milliamps.
Being hit by this stun gun will inevitably cause cardiac arrest and be fatal instantly.
After reassembling the stun gun, Mark continued modifying the second one.
He increased the voltage of the second stun gun to 100 million volts and the current to 500 milliamps.
