Wandering America: My kill threshold is far ahead

I found a clean spot and opened the disposable plastic lunchbox.

I smelled the chickpea rice, which was the main dish, and it had a rotten smell, as if it had been stored in a cold storage for a long time and had just thawed.

Sure enough, there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you eat this stuff, you'll most likely get food poisoning.

Luncheon meat cans look alright. Americans are in a class of their own when it comes to this. During World War II, the Allied forces consumed approximately 1.33 million cans of luncheon meat.

I ate a few bites, but it tasted a bit too salty, so I opened the box of fresh peach juice.

I took a sip and realized that the brand of the peach juice was called "Fresh," which was actually just peach flavoring diluted with water.

While eating canned meat, open the AR virtual panel, then open Facebook, find Valentina's profile picture, and send her a mysterious link.

Opening this link will take you to a page of prank memes, which on the surface appear to be just friends joking around.

However, as soon as the other party clicks on it, a Trojan program will be automatically installed. This foolproof spyware, created by the master hacker Manxing, is still quite useful.

After waiting for a while, Valentina did not reply, probably because she was too busy to check her phone.

Ma Jie didn't hesitate. He fed himself until he was half full, then started sweeping the streets on his scooter.

Under the permanent aura of the seven-star skill [Grandmaster of Secret Treasures], Ma Jie quickly swept through the poor streets, cleared a few blue question marks, and headed towards the new map.

Los Angeles has a very large urban area, spanning 71 kilometers from north to south and 47 kilometers from east to west.

What does this mean? If the treasure-hunting halo has a radius of 1000 meters, and you move 71 kilometers in a straight line, you will only explore an area of ​​71 kilometers x 2000 meters.

The horizontal line moved a distance of 47 kilometers, or forty-seven thousand kilometers, which, when divided by 2000 meters, equals 23.5.

In other words, you would need to run 23.5 x 71-kilometer stretches to have the halo cover the entire city.

What is 23.5 x 71? 1668.5.

The conclusion is that, even if you drive, you would theoretically need to drive 1668.5 kilometers to achieve 100% city exploration.

Only an idiot would attempt to complete such a task, especially since the question marks are constantly being updated. It's quite possible that by the time you've completed half of the task, new question marks will appear in the cities you've already scanned.

Therefore, it's best to do things as you please when it comes to finding bargains; otherwise, you're not playing the game, but being played by it.

Leaving the slums, Ma Jie leisurely rode his scooter around the map, but when he encountered places with sneakers hanging on telephone poles or trees, he became extremely cautious, as these were the exclusive symbols of gangsters.

The power dynamics in Los Angeles are complex and intertwined, and can be divided by skin color, such as black gangs and white gangs, or by ethnicity, such as Hispanics and Asians.

The most powerful among them is Xiao Heizi. There's nothing you can do about it; he's prolific, but he doesn't raise his children. Many of his kids don't even finish high school before joining gangs and doing all sorts of despicable things like throwing guns, kidnapping, and so on.

Gang leaders also love to exploit minors. It's low-cost, low-profile, and once caught, they can exploit legal loopholes—it's incredibly profitable.

The same goes for white trash; everyone's a drug addict and a violent maniac, ready to rush towards their final freedom at the slightest provocation.

However, compared to the Mexican, these two are still a bit lacking, because the Mexican's main business is drug trafficking in the United States.

It can be understood as an extension of Mexico's domestic power, a group that has long cooperated with drug lords within the country and is ruthless in killing.

There's no way around it; it's too far from heaven and too close to America.

Americans are living in dire straits. What do they rely on? Isn't it just to have a little drama now and then? If I don't provide them with spiritual nourishment, how can they survive?

As for the Asians, they are more cunning and belong to their own group. In the past, they collected protection money in Chinatown, ran brothels, and worked as human traffickers.

With industrial upgrading, the main focus is now on economic crimes, such as gift card fraud, which is the most mainstream business now.

In summary, if you're uneducated and don't join a gang, you basically have no other way out except to work yourself to death and become poor.

Before they knew it, the road became wider and wider. Glancing at the map, they found themselves in the industrial area where Xiaofu's family lived.

Since he was already there, Ma Jieke decided to call Xiao Fu and ask him out for a drink.

Just as I was about to dial, a huge prismatic question mark suddenly lit up on the map.

"Holy crap!" This startled Ma Jie so much that he almost tripped and fell.

If I remember correctly, the order of value for lost items is: silver (common), blue (rare), purple (epic), gold (legendary), and prismatic (mythical).

After two days of trial and error, I've found that silver items are generally priced between 1 cent and 2 dollars, which is utterly worthless and not worth making a separate trip for.

Blue items are much better; they are usually worth tens of dollars and are considered the main loot.

I haven't seen the purple one, but Ma Jieke deduces that it should be between $100 and $1000.

The reason is simple: the payment that Jimmy lost last night, which was about a thousand dollars, was marked as "Golden Legend".

Therefore, we can conclude that the value of the purple item will definitely not exceed this number, and it is likely to be in the range of several hundred US dollars, which is consistent with conventional logical understanding.

As for prismatic alumina, that's hard to say. Theoretically, even something worth hundreds of millions can be considered prismatic alumina.

"Calm down, calm down." Forcing himself to steady his breathing, Ma Jie moved towards the Prism Question Mark refresh point.

This question mark painted on the very edge of the map is 1 kilometer away from Hengding, which is neither far nor near.

After passing through a dilapidated residential area and then over a 300-meter stretch of open space, you come to a railway line that runs between the mine and the steel plant.

Listening to the distant whistles of ships and looking at the tall chimneys in the industrial area, one feels as if they have traveled back to the 1970s or 80s.

On the other side of the railway, there are three rusty old-fashioned shipping containers, which correspond exactly to the prismatic question mark markers.

After crossing the railway and arriving at the container, I realized that this thing had been abandoned here for who knows how long. Its outer skin was severely peeling off from wind and rain, and it smelled strongly of rust.

The box was surrounded by grass that reached above ankle height, but strangely, there were two very obvious tire tracks on the ground that led directly into the box.

Ma Jieke dared not act rashly, so he stood outside and used his appraisal skill to gather intelligence first.

[Old-fashioned containers]: Unclaimed industrial waste, recycling and dismantling costs are high, it is recommended to pile them up on the spot or landfill them.

Detailed item list: 2008 Ford F-150 full-size pickup truck, odometer 8.35 miles, body damaged and scratched, abandoned vehicle by a criminal gang, market reference price: US$8000.

"Hiss... Isn't this something I do all the time? Only in a game."

Upon seeing this prompt, Ma Jieke's eyes lit up.

Using a car as a disposable tool for a crime means either robbing a bank or a jewelry store.

After glancing around to make sure no one was watching, Ma Jie quickly went inside and found a blue pickup truck with the door open and the key still in the ignition.

They immediately got into the car, started the engine, unloaded it from the container, and drove towards the West Gate vehicle depot.

Anyone understand, family members? The game has become a reality! Thanks to the high-star player for this gift.
