Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Gunfighting

It's just that I don't know if it's the comic world or the movie world.

Compared to "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," the Marvel Universe is undoubtedly much more dangerous.

Not to mention, the constant stream of superheroes and supervillains is enough to give anyone a headache.

In New York, you might accidentally hit a superhero if you just throw a rock.

Zhou Ning could already foresee his repeated Deaths.

But fortunately, he had transmigrated to 2006.

The plot of the first "Iron Man" movie should be in 2008, so there were at least two years of buffer time.

The simulation continued.

July 2006: With no passport and no SSN, you found yourself unable to move an inch in New York.

So, in Chinatown, you paid a man named Martin Li $3,000 for an SSN.

According to Martin Li, it was real.

August 2006: You continued to place small bets at the casino, winning some and losing some.

However, under your precise control, you always won more than you lost.

By the end of August, your assets had increased to $88,000.

You swore this was your last time entering a casino.

(Family Wealth +1)

September 2006: After a period of research, your keen business acumen led you to discover that this world indeed had tech giants like Stark Industries, Hammer Industries, Osborn Industries Group, and Pym Technologies.

Technological development far surpassed your previous life.

However, in the telecommunications industry, the gap with your previous life was not significant.

Even some important figures on TV were still using clumsy dual-screen flip phones.

Given some time, you were confident that you could overtake the competition in communication and lead the world in this field.

October 2006: After a period of preparation, you spent $2,000 to register a mobile phone company named pineapple.

November 2006: Your scientific research talent was no less than Tony Stark's.

In less than two months, you built two iPhone 4-prototype phones in your underground garage, equipped with Retina displays and IPS screen technology, with a PPI three times that of contemporary phones.

When it came to cutting corners, you never held back.

December 2006: You broke your promise.

To raise funds, you went to Las Vegas.

You swore this was truly the last time.

In Las Vegas, you won for 28 consecutive days, earning $1.95 million through blackjack, but you were also blacklisted by casinos in Las Vegas and across the US.

However, the money should be enough.

This was definitely your last time entering a casino.

(You gained the skill: Gambler (Intermediate), Family Wealth +2)

December 2006: You spent a large amount of money on mobile phone advertisements on TV, in newspapers, and other media.

The actual finished products hadn't even started production.

You left yourself no room for retreat.

For a super Gambler like you, gambling in Las Vegas and doing business were both forms of gambling, just in different places, with different rules, and against different people.

January 2007: You found that your money was starting to run out.

Damn it.

So, you spent $10,000 to register for the WSOP No-Limit Hold'em tournament.

If you won, you would receive a $6 million prize.

(Family Wealth -2)

February 2007: A total of 8,773 people registered for this WSOP.

You, an unknown, defeated 39-year-old psychologist Jeremy Young and won the championship.

(You gained the skill: Gambler (Advanced), Family Wealth +5)

March 2007: After more than three months of advertising bombardment and hunger marketing, your pineapple mobile phone was an instant hit upon its launch, even selling out.

The smooth system, Retina display, and clear images seemed to come from the future, completely crushing the outdated flip phones.

Your strategy succeeded; you finally won this battle!

April 2007: Your entrepreneurial venture was a great success.

Like every lucky person who rode the wave, your wealth expanded at an incredible rate.

In the United States, your mobile phone had become a symbol of fashion and status.

Even wealthy magnates like Norman Osborn and Tony Stark were using this phone.

(Family Wealth +9)

May 2007: This month, you dated all the cover girls from Playboy's first issue in 2005 to its fifth issue in 2007.

You felt very tired.

(Happiness +7)

June 2007: You met Tony Stark at a party.

Similar personalities and comparable abilities made you feel like you saw yourselves in each other.

The difference was that you were much more handsome than him.

Although you both couldn't stand each other, it didn't prevent you from becoming good friends.

July 2007: As an honest man, you actually encountered an assassination attempt.

Several hooligans shot at your car, but fortunately, one of your employees happened to pass by, and you escaped harm.

You learned that this employee was named John Wick, the company's security guard.

To thank him, you paid off the medical bills for his wife, who had cancer, and helped find the best doctor, alleviating her condition.

He was extremely grateful for this.

August 2007: After some time, you and John Wick became good friends.

At the same time, you also kept in touch with Tony Stark, attending several parties together.

You were both friends and rivals.

Especially in romance, you relied on your looks, while Tony Stark relied on his money, a clear difference.

September 2007: Several of your mobile phone experience stores were vandalized by hooligans.

That same evening, a man named Wesley visited you, claiming to represent a businessman named Wilson Grant Fisk, wanting to acquire your Pineapple Company.

You decisively refused.

Even knowing he was Kingpin, he couldn't hope to freeload your company.

To ensure your safety, you hired some bodyguards.

November 2007: You encountered another assassination attempt.

A few days later, according to TV news reports, renowned philanthropist and businessman Wilson Grant Fisk died from a gunshot wound.

The next day, you saw an injured John Wick, and you both understood without needing to speak.

December 2007: By chance, you discovered that John Wick was proficient in all Gunfight Techniques, and also skilled in the Mozambique Drill and the C.A.R Shooting Method.

His movements could only be described as fluid.

Was this Marvel or "Assassin's Creed"?

At your repeated insistence, John Wick finally agreed to teach you Gunfight Technique.

December 2007 to June 2008: Your career prospered.

You recruited a large number of employees to work for you.

Your pineapple mobile phone had already reached its second generation, and sales remained high.

On the other hand, under John Wick's guidance, you slightly grasped the true essence of Gunfight Technique.

(You learned the talent: Gunfight Art: Lethal Tempo (Blue), you learned the skill: C.A.R Shooting Method (Beginner))

Lethal Tempo: An extremely special combat state where you can integrate any ability into combat, greatly increasing the user's combat ability and battlefield analysis.

July 2008: Tony Stark went to Afghanistan to promote weapons.

Two days later, the media announced that Tony Stark was attacked by the Ten Rings gang in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, his fate unknown and contact lost.

October 2008: Three months later, Tony Stark returned to the United States.

After a period of seclusion, the first thing he did was show off his newly upgraded Mark 2 to you.

After carefully studying the Iron Man suit, you felt that given some time, you could perfectly replicate the Iron Man suit.

Only the energy source was a major problem.

November 2008: Tony Stark invited you out for a drink.

You were trampled to Death by a large Iron Man robot that fell from the sky.

You earned the achievement: Deus Ex Machina.

You died.

Summary: Your life was quite smooth, but one thing must be pointed out: your gambling skills were much better than your business skills.

Another noteworthy point is that after your Death, Tony Stark still defeated Obadiah driving the Iron Monger, avenging you, and even shouted the classic line at the press conference: "I am Iron Man!"

To some extent, he showed off at your grave.

Rating: C+, World Exploration: 34.8%.

Since the exploration rate is greater than 20%, you received a reward of 3 Transmigration Coins.

Due to some influence on the world's scientific development, you received a reward of 1 Transmigration Coin.

Keep up the good work!

Simulation ended, please make your choice as soon as possible, Host.

One, randomly obtain three skills and specialties you acquired during your transmigration.

Two, randomly draw three items you acquired during your transmigration.

Zhou Ning:... Death came so suddenly that Zhou Ning was stunned for two seconds, and then became even more furious.

This Tony Stark was too inconsiderate.

It had nothing to do with him, but he still got him killed.

Next time he transmigrated, he would definitely find a way to get back at him.

However, although this process was short, the gains were considerable.

You chose option one.

You gained the talent: Gunfight Art: Lethal Tempo (Blue).

You gained the combat skill: C.A.R Shooting Method (Beginner).

You gained the skill: Gambler (Advanced).

Indeed, he had gained another talent and a combat skill!

Aside from being a bit short-lived, Zhou Ning was quite satisfied with this harvest.

Aside from the Gambler skill being temporarily useless, the C.A.R Shooting Method and Gunfight Art: Lethal Tempo were great enhancements to his combat ability.

Combined with his existing firearms knowledge and advanced Shooting Mastery, a completely new professional system had vaguely formed
