Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 39 Scallop Warriors Take Shape
Sitting on a wooden chair with a broken backrest, Cheng Tian cleaned the blood and flesh stains on the shield by stuffing it into the inventory, with a satisfied expression on his face.

However, this weapon inspection, which seemed a bit like a case of mysophobia, did not have much practical significance, because his suit was covered with blood stains that had begun to become sticky and hard, and his face and hands were also somewhat dirty.

Apart from Cheng Tian himself, there was no one else standing or alive in this tavern that was so messy that there was almost no place to stand.

With a high strength attribute of 24 points and the improved defense performance brought by equipping two shields at the same time, Cheng once again blocked a bar of minions with almost no damage and almost wiped them out. The reason why I say "almost" is that the bartender who collected the money for the map had already escaped through the secret passage in the warehouse.

Cheng Tian's recklessness also depends on the terrain and conditions. He would not risk rushing into an underground passage like this one where the path ahead is completely unknown.

Even though he is covered in blood and is so dirty that he needs to use a pot scrubber to clean it, it is actually someone else's blood.

Among armors of the same type, the Giant Monster Head is actually a model of being a jack of all trades and master of none, with very low defensive performance. However, with the addition of the Captain America template, its defensive performance has returned to normal levels.

At the same time, Cheng Tian also equipped the Captain America shield on his main hand.

Captain America's Shield: Shield, Template Armament. Equipment Requirements: Captain America Template/Strength 15. Defense 25. Shield Damage 1-1. Durability -/-.

An unexpected product cast from raw adamantium, it is indestructible, has strong kinetic energy absorption, and is resistant to external forces such as extreme temperature radiation.

The shield can 100% offset all frontal ranged attack damage that does not exceed the shield's size, and bounce the offset attack away.

The shield can absorb the maximum amount of physical and energy impact from the outside world while maintaining its own properties.

Since Captain America's shield is a template weapon that can stack enchantments with the same type of equipment, its shield damage has been greatly reduced, just like the whip of the previous template. At the same time, the attributes cannot be completely restored to the original settings. After all, the original source is just a red and white console game with limited functions.

But unlike the attack, the shield's defensive performance has not been weakened at all, fully reflecting the characteristics of the original game.

The shield of Captain America and the Captain America template loaded by Cheng Tian, ​​their blueprint sources are both the Famicom version of "Captain's Secret Service", but in fact, this translated name is also the fault of the domestic manufacturer's mistranslation at that time, just like the titles "Jackal Force" to "Chi Fortress", "Green Berets" to "Green Corps", etc., all of them are wrong translations, but they are engraved in the hearts of a generation and cannot be changed.

Therefore, the real translation of "Captain America's Secret Service" should be "Captain America and the Avengers".

What’s even more interesting is that the Famicom version is the only ported game of the same name on many platforms that has seen significant changes to the gameplay.

In the original arcade version, players can control up to four characters, namely Captain America, Hawkeye, Iron Man and Vision, and the game type is more inclined to the clearing type.

By the time it was released on the Famicom, the game had become something similar to Resurrection, with exploration and puzzle-solving elements and a large, replayable map. To conserve cartridge capacity, this version drastically reduced the number of playable characters, leaving only Captain America and Hawkeye. The game even created a "reasonable" plot for Iron Man and Vision, who were cut from the game, before being killed off.

However, the Famicom version with a major overhaul of the game mode also gave Captain America and Hawkeye stronger character performance compared to the original version, and this enhanced character performance was reflected in the template that Cheng Tian loaded at this time.

In the game, as long as you keep the shield facing the enemy, all ranged attacks hitting the shield will be bounced away.

When Cheng Tian blocked the door to prevent gang members from escaping, he was shot by half of the enemies. It was obvious that this gang had a high rate of gun ownership.

But Cheng Tian, ​​the scallop warrior, not only had Captain America's shield, but also a giant monster shield. The two shields were almost like a wall when blocking the front. The gang members soon discovered that their shooting not only failed to break through Cheng Tian's shield defense, but because of the highly random repelling mechanism of Captain America's shield, they suffered dozens of stray bullet injuries, and each of them was bleeding and wailing in pain.

But when they stopped focusing their fire, it was Cheng Tian's turn to take action.

Captain America's shield and the giant monster's head began to bounce alternately among the crowd.

Although the former's shield strike damage is weaker, the impact potential energy is sufficient. In addition, the thrower is Cheng Tian, ​​who has 24 points of strength. Let alone Captain America's shield with an excellent kinetic energy arc, even throwing a pen is enough to penetrate the palm of an ordinary person at medium distance.

The speed and accuracy of the giant monster head's throwing is far inferior to Captain America's shield, but throwing it out is like throwing a sketch bust. Just tell me whether you can dodge it or not.
It is worth mentioning that with the help of the Captain America template, the shield has a different usage in Cheng Tian's hands.

Normally, a shield is just a shield, and its main function and positioning is protection. So when you choose to throw it out, it is equivalent to temporarily giving up its ownership. The shield's bonus will disappear with the throw, and there is no such thing as soul binding. In theory, if it is picked up by other players, it will belong to them.

But although Cheng Tian had clearly thrown away the shield, the corresponding bonus still remained on his body, and he could clearly feel that there was still some connection between him and the shield.

Next, you just need to shake your arm like a spring punch within a certain distance, and then both Captain America's shield and the giant monster's head will automatically return to the arm corresponding to the equipment bar.

Obviously, this is the effect of the description on the "Shield Master": "The connection between you and your shield will become closer and more coordinated."

And with this wonderful combination of man and shield and the special shield at hand, Cheng Tian can even perform some very strange and bizarre operations...

This time, the passive group destruction of the bar minions did yield some gains. Nearly twenty minions contributed three black iron treasure chests to him, and the drop rate was obviously higher than that of zombies.

Among them, the first treasure chest contained a windproof lighter and a set of three cigars that could slightly speed up MP recovery, while the second and third treasure chests contained a "Moth Gang Combatant File" and a "Moth Gang Gunner File" respectively.

And at the moment when these two paper items were obtained, Cheng Tian’s bounty mission progress actually advanced by half!
