American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Ding-dong!

The doorbell rang as the Robert family was sitting in the dining room, enjoying their dinner.

Perhaps it was the daily sound of gunfire that made the atmosphere at home somewhat oppressive, as the mother kept trying to make all sorts of delicious food, hoping to lift the spirits of her son and husband.

However, judging from the husband's stern face, it had no effect.

"Oh!"

Robert scratched his head, agreed, and lowered his head to continue eating beans.

After a while, the sound of the door closing came, and his father walked over with a relaxed expression, holding a快递盒 (kuài dì hé) - express delivery box, casually throwing it onto Robert's lap.

"Your toy!"

"Mine? I didn't buy anything?"

Robert was a little strange, but when he looked down, his expression immediately changed.

"I'm full!"

He said, grabbing the box and turning to run.

His mother shouted from behind: "Finish your meal for me!"

"I can't eat it anymore, leave it there and I'll eat it tomorrow night!"

Taking two steps at a time, he returned to the attic, quickly locked the small door, then placed the express delivery box on the floor, turned on the computer, compared the photos on it with the photos on the express delivery box, and took a deep breath.

"It's exactly the same. What's going on?"

He couldn't wait to open the express delivery box. In the middle of the packing material was a simple, antique-style box. After opening it, inside was the wooden ring.

"He actually gave me a ring!"

Looking at the reply on the computer screen and then at the ring in his hand, Robert had some guesses in his heart. With a bit of disbelief, he gently put the ring on his middle finger.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Nearly half a minute passed, and still nothing happened.

Robert breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, and as if disappointed.

The air flowed over the ring, and the wooden ring suddenly contracted.

The ring, which originally seemed a bit large, contracted inward at a rate visible to the naked eye, tightly clamping onto Robert's middle finger. Then, there was a slight pain, a drop of blood was absorbed, and then a surge of heat rushed into his body from the ring, drilling straight into his brain along his arm.

Robert panicked. Just as he was about to shake off the ring on his hand, his body suddenly stiffened, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Afterward, he felt some kind of strange change occur in his body. His vision suddenly blurred, and then a light screen popped up.

[User has been bound]

[Name: Robert Skye]

[Level: 0]

[Attribute: Unselected]

[Skills: None]

[Binding completed, activate novice guidance mission]

Line after line of text appeared on the light screen, each line automatically moving up one space as it appeared.

When the last word came out, the light screen suddenly disappeared, and then a large roulette appeared.

Written on it were the words Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and Lightning.

Each word had a different background color. The five words divided the entire circle.

Then Robert discovered that he could actually move.

He first took two steps back in a panic, and found that the roulette was always in his line of sight.

Whether he turned his head left and right, opened or closed his eyes, the roulette was always there, never leaving.

He tried to reach out and touch it, but of course, there was nothing there.

Robert's face revealed a look of surprise. Not only was he not afraid, but he felt very excited: "God, this is just too cool. It's a retinal imaging system.

This is theoretical technology, has someone already developed it?"

He jumped up, groping himself up and down, and was about to play with the computer again.

But the roulette suddenly magnified, seemingly to show its existence.

Robert hesitated for a moment, and slightly touched the button in the middle.

Sure enough, the roulette started to spin, not very fast. After spinning two or three times, the pointer slowly landed in the area with the word Fire.

Fire is a square font, Chinese.

Robert was born in the United States, and because he was of Mexican descent, he minored in Spanish from a young age.

If you had to say, he could speak some Italian, but only to the extent of hello, I'm good, everyone's good.

But he knew nothing about Chinese, and even rarely saw it. After all, Chinatown wasn't a peaceful place, and Philadelphia itself was chaotic.

But the amazing thing was that as long as he saw this word, he could completely understand the meaning of the word, as if someone was giving a translation in his mind in real time.

The five elements roulette retreated, and a new roulette rose from the bottom, marked with some strange words.

Robert clicked again, and the pointer spun to Corpse Bone Pulse.

The roulette disappeared directly. He hadn't understood what was going on when a burst of stinging pain suddenly came from the bones of his body. A stream of energy burst out from the ring, pouring into his bones with overwhelming force.

Then, crackling sounds came from all over his body, as if the bones were being renewed.

A few minutes later, Robert sat up in a daze.

He slowly stretched out his palm, and the bones of his five fingers gradually lengthened, piercing the skin, showing a nail-like shape, the tips sharp and dazzling, like a murder weapon.

Finger bones were one thing, but the ribs also came out to join in the fun, and the leg bones came out and spun around before going back.

Even the teeth were jumping around in his mouth, changing shape from time to time.

It was as if the bones all over his body suddenly had their own consciousness, and everyone was celebrating and reveling wantonly.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last too long. It only lasted for a minute or so, and the bones in various places returned to their original state.

When Robert looked at the light screen, the text had changed.

[Attribute: Fire Corpse Bone Pulse]

Looking at this line of unfamiliar text, Robert felt a strange understanding, as if he understood something, and as if he hadn't received anything.

At this time, the attribute interface disappeared, and a scroll representing the mission appeared, jumping up and down.

Robert reached out and clicked, and the scroll slowly unfolded and gradually magnified.
