Time travel game, starting from Kingdom Come: Deliverance

To destroy, everything that the name Lucky Quinn represents must be utterly destroyed.

Moreover, Lucky Quinn himself has a number of hackers under his command, making it almost impossible to track his daily whereabouts.

The itineraries that could be made public were protected by a considerable number of members of southern gangs; they were practically an army.

Under that level of firepower, he really could have died.

Although Mo Jiang is strong, he is not strong enough to completely ignore firearms.

……

"I wanted you to come here to tell me that you won."

It was still in the same coffee shop as yesterday. This coffee shop was not far from Sun Ke's school, and it was also on their way home. As long as you sat by the window, you wouldn't miss the two boys.

The two looked somewhat disheveled, with faint bluish tinges around their eyes, though not very noticeable.

Meanwhile, his clothes were covered in dust and even had several tears.

He doesn't look like he's won.

Could they have really lost?

Are the attribute boosts from regular-level attribute potions too small?

Are American high school students really that good at fighting?

A series of questions arose in his mind. Mo Jiang picked up his coffee and took a sip to hide his guilty conscience.

This was the first time he had helped Sun Ke and his group, and if it failed, he would lose face.

After all, he confidently declared yesterday that he was sure to win.

"Won!"

Roland was covered in dust, but his smile was exceptionally happy, like a newlywed office worker who opens the door to find his wife has bought him a 5090 graphics card and a full set of top-of-the-line computer equipment.

"Fifteen people ganged up on us, and we knocked eight of them down. The rest ran away crying for their mothers."

Sun Ke added, "Actually, when we knocked down three of them, they had already given up the idea of ​​continuing to fight. When we knocked down the fifth one, they started to run away. We could only catch up with three of them."

Upon hearing this news, Mo Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Even with his physique before he transmigrated, a regular-grade potion would have produced a noticeable strengthening effect. There was no reason why Sun Ke and the others would lose after drinking it.

“Yes!” Roland added, “They also have iron bars.”

Mo Jiang sighed. These two high school students were going a bit too far, fighting bare-handed against armed men, two against fifteen.

If he hadn't used [Water of Life] (reduces damage taken) yesterday, both of these guys would be lying on the ground waiting for an ambulance right now.

Without saying much at the time, he took out two bottles of calendula potion and had them drink it.

After witnessing the miraculous effects of Mojiang's potion, the two newly recruited henchmen drank it without hesitation, and the small wounds on their bodies healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"After this, some people in the school will probably seek your protection, and some may want to hang out with you."

"My standard is that as long as they don't use drugs or commit rape, you can recruit them at your discretion."

“I rented a warehouse, and all the goods are in there. I’ll take you to see it later. Let’s try to expand to a few schools and neighborhoods nearby first.”

This is currently the most important goal for [Golden Wind]. Only an organization with stable income can be considered a healthy organization.

After saying all that, Mo Jiang changed the subject, "The above are all the official matters you need to handle. Now let's talk about personal matters."

“I’m glad you beat the school bully, but I don’t want to hear that you did the same thing as him.”

"You can recruit new people and establish campus order, but you can't cross the line, understand?"

Mo Jiang felt disgusted by the bullying at school, but if Sun Ke and the others became bullies because of him, his disgust would undoubtedly be amplified.

The two high school students nodded eagerly in agreement and made a promise to them.

"And one more thing," Mo Jiang added, remembering something, "Don't let your grades fall behind, or your parents will come after me, and I'll kick you out immediately. Study hard, and I'll pay for your university tuition if you get in."

"Those gang things, you treat them like organizations (（;二）咎"

Sun Ke and Luo Lan are both academically excellent, which is why they were targeted and bullied by the school bully.

Mo Jiang did not intend to let them completely abandon their studies, especially Sun Ke. According to Roland Zero-One, Sun Ke was even a student in the gifted youth class before his family immigrated.

Then, as Mo Jiang led the two towards the warehouse, he suddenly saw a large crowd gathered at a certain store.

Roland glanced at it and said, "Oh, that department store. Today is a special day. Vegetables and meats are heavily discounted starting at five o'clock, so a lot of people are rushing over at this time. This is one of the few times when you can buy groceries in full."

Pay for groceries in full...

Although Mo Jiang had heard of this in modern times, it was still unbelievable when he actually saw it.

As he walked along the street, he kept thinking about something, and suddenly he asked, "In your neighborhood, do a lot of people buy discounted vegetables?"

Sun Ke shook his head. "Not many people buy discounted vegetables. Department stores rarely have special offers, and many people can't get them."

"So, what if I could provide a large quantity of fresh vegetables and meat, without a shop or license, and sell them secretly? Would that be profitable?"

Sun Ke frowned and lowered his head in deep thought.

Roland, who was more familiar with this matter, replied directly, "As long as the vegetables and meat won't kill people, there are quite a few people willing to buy them."

"But there are a few problems now."

Sun Ke added, "First, we need manpower. You can't expect students to do the vegetable selling; otherwise, the time will fluctuate greatly."

"Secondly, how should we price vegetables so that they are cheaper than those in department stores, while still making a profit?"

Sun Ke wisely refrained from asking any other questions. He knew that the smuggling channels and the methods of obtaining vegetables and meat were the core secrets held by Mo Jiang.

If a second person finds out about that, they'll either be one of Mo Jiang's confidants or a dead person.

These two newcomers are clearly not the former.

As for manpower...

That evening, Sun Ke and Luo Lan knocked on their parents' bedroom door with solemn expressions.

The author says:

Author's note: Thank you to [Seaside], [Secondary Silverwing], and [Customized] for their donations.

87. Having a gun but not using martial arts? How can one be called a grandmaster?

When Sun Ke and Roland's parents learned that their children had joined the underworld, their first reaction was one of utter despair.

But their emotional breakdown didn't last long; reality quickly brought them back to their senses.

For these lower-class Asians, the cost of living has never decreased.

Even if you open a small hotel, gangsters will still come knocking on your door demanding protection money.

To some extent, the Sun family is also being pushed to their limits.

Otherwise, Sun Ke wouldn't have taken such a gamble. When he realized that Mo Jiang was planning to join a gang, he immediately demonstrated his value and declared that he wanted to follow Mo Jiang.

He knew very well that without external influence, his family would only be on the verge of collapse due to the ever-increasing protection fees charged by the gang.

"You're involved with a gang!"

Sun Ke's father growled. As a former professor, he could not accept his son's involvement with organized crime. "Bullets don't have eyes. If you die in an alley, no one will collect your body!"

“Well said.” Sun Ke pushed up his glasses and affirmed his father’s statement. “But you can still be robbed at gunpoint if you walk through alleys. There are shootings in schools from time to time. Bullets won’t avoid me just because I’m not involved in organized crime. If I die, it doesn’t really matter whether my body is collected or not.”

"Moreover... our family is already having some difficulty making ends meet, so it's impossible for us to afford to send me to university."

Forget about selling everything we own; if we sell this hotel, and I don't get a good job after graduating from university, we'll have no way out. And our descendants, if they still have this place, will have to struggle from the bottom just the same.

Sun Ke's voice was full of rationality, just as he had tried his best to persuade his parents to immigrate.

"If we want a safe and decent life and future, this is an opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know how long we'll have to wait for the next one, or even if we'll ever have another one."

Sun Ke's words hit the nail on the head: in the United States, students from less affluent families need to take out a large loan to go to college.

Most people may not be able to pay off their debts even ten years after graduation.

He practically threw the words directly in his parents' faces: if they didn't seize this opportunity, then the next generation would have to face an even more difficult start.

……

Two days later, when Mo Jiang saw the list handed over by Sun Ke and Luo Lan, even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be stunned.

How did you convince your parents?

It's virtually impossible to convince your parents to do something illegal together.

If a family in Mojiang dared to do this, the copper-headed belt would probably spin it three times faster.

"Explain to them with reason and emotion. They immigrated to the United States intending to move up in social class, not down. If anyone is to blame, it's the American propaganda, so they're doing it with a clear conscience now."

Sun Ke didn't give his parents any face, which clearly showed that he had some complaints about his situation.

Mo Jiang didn't reply, but nodded as he looked at the order form for fresh food. "Have someone you trust pick this up tomorrow."

After saying that, Mo Jiang asked again, "Can you trust the person on the order? I don't want to be reported right after I deliver something."

The entry of unidentified fresh produce into the market is not a major issue; at most, a sufficient fine will be imposed.

But if someone discovers that these items haven't gone through customs, then things could get really messed up.

This involves tax evasion, which is one of the most serious crimes in the United States.

In order to collect taxes, the tax bureau has an army under its command, a real army.

"They are trustworthy, have elderly parents and young children, and are generally well-liked by others."

"Alright, let's set this order at one-third of the market price for now."

Even if the price of fresh food purchased wholesale from Hyundai is only one-third of the price in Chicago dollars, Mo Jiang's profit is still considerable.

……

The next day, the warehouse that Mojiang had rented was not far from Sun Ke's small hotel. Before dawn, Sun Ke and Roland's family secretly drove over to load the goods.

When school ended in the afternoon, Sun Ke and others would take out the goods that needed to be delivered the next day from the warehouse.

Soon, both the counterfeit goods business and the community-based fresh produce ordering service were expanding rapidly.

Meanwhile, Mo Jiang was not idle either. He carried out a cleanup of the surrounding gangs, centered on Sun Kejia's community.

According to statistics, there are five or six gangs with more than ten members in the vicinity of the community, and it took a lot of effort for Mojiang to clean them up.

After all, he couldn't send everyone to the Middle Ages to fertilize the land, even though he desperately wanted to.

However, doing so would undoubtedly attract unnecessary attention, so Mojiang changed his approach.

That is, they carried out a surprise attack under the cover of night. Without anyone noticing, the core members of each gang had their limbs broken and became disabled overnight.

Mo Jiang had no intention of paying their medical bills, and having already taken their cash, these people wouldn't be able to stay in the hospital for long anyway; they had no other option but to wait for death.

Even if the police wanted to find the perpetrator of the attack, all they could get at the scene was the title of "Golden Wind".

After those gangs were eliminated, other gangs did try to take over the territory, but usually all the core members of the gang would be crippled the next day.

Soon, the name "Golden Wind" began to circulate in Chicago's underworld.

They are ruthless, they are xenophobic, and they lurk in the shadows.

Once anyone attempts to set foot on their territory, the fangs hidden in the darkness will crush the intruder.

Because of the Golden Wind's ruthless and violent actions, even the police have gradually become unwilling to patrol their territory.

However, this did not cause chaos, because high school students such as Sun Ke started to form patrol teams in the community.

The team, formed by teenagers living nearby who had gained "recognition," was more like a group of restless teenagers forming a gang.

To others, this was just teenagers playing around, but in reality, they were all Mo Jiang's spies.

They are also sellers of counterfeit goods and fresh ingredients in Mojiang.

……

Chicago, a shop with no sign and a hidden location.

The shop was empty except for the owner and four or five muscular men. Judging from their positions and eyes, these men had all received military training.

"Any new stock? - U705.COM First Release*/"

"Would you like some Cuban cigars?"

"The Cuban ones are too old; I prefer something newer."
