Marvel: Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 6 Paid Vacation
He sorted out things at home and donated his parents' clothes. He also donated some of his own clothes. He now wears police uniform most of the time.

He usually wears jeans, leather jackets and T-shirts. Because of his strong body, the New York winter has no effect on him, and it also fits the dressing habits of people here.

Link is reducing the burden of moving, so he won't move electrical appliances or even kitchen utensils.

What he sorted out the most were photos. He would not throw these away. After all, they occupied everything of the original owner, so he would always leave traces of his existence for their family, and at the same time, it would also help him find a sense of existence.

He carefully sorted out these photos and bought a lot of photo albums to put them in. When he moves to his new home, he can use some photo frames to decorate his home.

When he has children in the future, he will also want to give them a place to go. This is something that is deeply rooted in the Chinese people, especially since Link came here halfway.

There isn't much left. Most of the original owner's childhood things have to be thrown away or donated.

In the end, he kept the tableware and tea sets. These were carefully matched by the original owner's mother, so he was reluctant to throw them away. They were very exquisite.

……

"Link, you need to come to the bureau." The captain called Link.

Link was very surprised. He was not told to go back to work but to go to the police station. Was there any change in this matter?

Riding on his motorcycle, he came to the West Central City Branch and found that the government affairs, unions, and lawyers were all there. Link asked curiously, "Is it that the on-site investigation results are inconsistent with what I said?"

"No!" The captain asked him to sit down. "Your case has been thoroughly investigated. There is no problem. You should have resumed work today."

"but……"

The captain looked at him and then said, "The Irish gang sent a message to deal with you. This is a provocation to us."

"..." Link suddenly realized what was going on. "I'm not afraid of them. Besides, I'm in a group by myself and won't cause any trouble for my colleagues. Let them come to me."

"No, Link, this is not just about one person." The person from the Internal Affairs Department stood up and said, "This is a provocation to the entire New York police force. We will never allow this to happen."

"Yes!" The union member also spoke up. "Morale is already low. If something happens to you again, the morale of the entire New York police force will be gone."

There is some sarcasm in his words, but no one here is responsible for the salary issue, so there is no point in his being sarcastic.

The lawyer said: "You have the right to apply for protection."

The captain added: "The General Administration's opinion is to give you a paid vacation. You should know that many people in our branch haven't had a vacation in several years. After you take this vacation, it will be difficult for you to have another chance in the future."

Well, the staff shortage is so severe!

Link laughed and said, "Well, I'm willing to take a vacation. I just happen to want to go to Las Vegas, which I've never been to."

"Besides, I don't need protection. But if they want to retaliate against me, why haven't they done anything yet?"

The captain explained: "The Russian gang went to war with them because a group of their girls were robbed by the other side. On the night of the gunfight, they disguised themselves as players and called to lure the girls out."

"The fighting between the two sides is very intense now. Let me tell you a secret. We are preparing to take action against the Irish. A large number of police officers will be temporarily seconded here at that time to let them know who is in charge in New York."

Link nodded to show that he understood!

He left the police station and took a half-month paid vacation. He didn't lose anything anyway, but these guys still didn't know how powerful they were. He would deal with them later. ...

When he got home, he laughed again as he looked at the things he had sorted out, and said exaggeratedly, "Is my superpower luck?"

He simply searched for casino hotels in Las Vegas, found the most luxurious one, and booked a mid-range room, which was suitable for his status and job.

He immediately booked a flight for the afternoon and set off with a travel bag.

We arrived in Las Vegas at night and took a taxi from the airport. Along the way, we saw the dazzling neon lights of the city. Now the day's life here has just begun.

When he checked into the hotel, he actually didn't have much money left. He had been waiting for his salary to be paid, but now he couldn't even afford the room rent. However, it didn't matter at all because he had a few hundred dollars in cash.

Link doesn't use a credit card, although he has one, which belonged to the original owner, but he tries not to use it now. There are too many credit card traps, loan traps, etc. in the bank!
He likes to save money, so what if the interest rate is low?

Sure, maybe he could buy some stocks and leave them alone, but he didn't have the money right now.

I went to a restaurant and had a luxurious meal. There was everything to eat, drink and have fun, so I just put it on the bill.

Link then went straight to the casino and exchanged three hundred US dollars in chips, each chip was ten US dollars.

Afterwards, he strolled around here. He wanted to see what he should play. After all, he couldn't attract too much attention. Of course, he must win more.

It’s not easy to come here once, but you also have to do some covering up and become a lucky person.

After walking around, he came to the gambling table. This was very simple and there were many people gathered there, so he could make some money first.

After checking with his X-ray vision, he found that the casino did not have any traps, so he started playing with confidence.

Bet big and bet down. This is very simple. Before each opening, the probability is 50-50. He puts five chips on it every time. He loses less and wins more. Soon he has accumulated several thousand US dollars.

He asked the dealer to change the chips, each chip was one hundred US dollars, so the chips became only dozens.

He just grabbed the card and walked away. He wanted to try another way to play. Blackjack would be a good choice.

The original owner studied psychology in college. After graduation, he did not become a psychologist, but a policeman. Psychology is also useful for the police profession.

It was assigned to the General Administration, which is very telling, but Link doesn't care much about this.

Moreover, if he had let the prosecutor go that day, his instructor would have reason to expel him. It is hard to say what the details of the incident would have been.

……

Having arrived late today, Link didn't play for long, but he already had more than 20,000 US dollars in chips, which he deposited directly in the casino, and went back to rest empty-handed.

He enjoyed the high-end bathtub here and then fell asleep early. He was going to have a good time starting tomorrow.

The next morning, after breakfast, Link rented a car and driver from the hotel to take him around Las Vegas. Actually, there were not many things to see. Most of them were hotels. This was a city built in the desert.

We returned to the hotel at noon, ordered a big meal, and went to the swimming pool to spend the afternoon.
