North American wizards, starting as cooks, roam freely and without fear.

The atmosphere of a casual bar isn't as high as that of a club with lots of dancing and loud music.

But under the influence of alcohol and soothing music, the atmosphere is relaxed to another degree. If an interesting and lively fight were to take place at this time, it would be an excellent spice. This is why the patrons around the bar were so enthusiastic when they witnessed the 1v3 fight.

"Wow wow!"

"Arise, there is only one him!"

"Shit, two spineless wimps!"

"..."

Cheers, whistles, encouragement, and scornful remarks filled the air, but the two sturdy young white men could only clutch their stomachs, hunched over on the ground, their faces contorted in pain, unable to recover for a long time.

Li Heng stood in front of the two of them, watching quietly.

The cheers and applause from the crowd around the bar area immediately attracted the attention of a group of people drinking in the hall not far away, who all looked over.

This also caught the attention of the two white youths' companions, a group of four young men and women. Seeing their two friends lying on the ground, the group immediately exclaimed in surprise, and then saw the Asian figure in front of their friends.

The four men, who had also been drinking, immediately realized what had happened. They all stood up abruptly and ran quickly toward them.

"Wow..."

"This is going to be good!"

"GoGoGo!"

"..."

This scene immediately caused a commotion among the people around the bar, and even the people in the hall who understood the situation joined in the commotion.

"Li, let's go..."

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Oleg quickly said something to the bartender, immediately stood up, and pulled Li Heng aside, whispering, "There's a back door here, let's go through the back door!"

"fine..."

Hearing this, Li Heng patted Oleg's hand and said with a relaxed smile, "These few are no problem for me. You can just stand aside and watch."

"Hey, Bro..."

At this moment, the bartender at the bar seemed about to try to persuade him, but Li Heng just waved his hand at him, and the bartender shrugged and said no more.

"Hey, Kyle! West!"

"How are you?"

"Shit!"

"MotherFxxK, fuck him to death!"

"Don't worry, brother, I'll avenge you right away!"

The four men pulled their two friends aside and calmed the brother down. The woman stayed behind to take care of him. When the other three young men saw that the Asian man who had assaulted them hadn't run away, they immediately took off their jackets, put on vests, revealing all sorts of flashy tattoos on their bodies, and, cracking their knuckles, clenched their fists and surrounded him, getting into a fighting stance.

Looking at this scene.

Li Heng grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Then, like the others, he clenched his fists tightly, his ten fingers cracking loudly. He then extended a finger and beckoned to the tattooed man in the lead.

"Shit!"

The burly, tattooed man cursed loudly, then clenched his fist and charged forward, aiming straight for Li Heng's head.

Li Heng stood still, but suddenly bent down and tilted his head, then punched the tattooed man hard in the abdomen, just like he had punched those two guys before, giving the tattooed man a good beating!

"what!"

With a piercing scream, the burly, tattooed man instantly doubled over, clutching his stomach, his face contorted in pain, and collapsed to the ground, convulsing in agony.

Wow!

He easily and decisively knocked down the strongest tattooed man opposite him with a single punch, immediately eliciting cheers from the onlookers.

Seeing this, the remaining two men exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, rushed forward together.

Facing two thugs who were at most at the level of street brawlers, Li Heng, who possessed knight-level close combat skills in his previous life, found it extremely easy to deal with them. As the two charged at him, he dodged to the side and then unleashed another devastating punch!

He likes to use the Liver Explosion Punch because it hurts the most and is best suited for dealing with these thugs and scum.

"what!"

The young man who struck first screamed in agony, clutching his stomach and staggering back several steps, his body trembling violently.

Upon seeing this, the second young man abruptly stopped the car. He rushed to the bar, grabbed a half-empty beer bottle from one of the customers, smashed it open, revealing sharp glass shards, and stabbed it at Li Heng!

Facing the armed man, Li Heng reacted even faster, dodging the broken bottle by sidestepping and slashing the man's wrist with a sharp chop!

"what!"

The young man immediately screamed in pain. Li Heng then grabbed the man's wrist and pulled him forward, before punching him twice, sending the man flying into the air twice before he landed heavily on the ground, motionless.

For a moment, everyone in the bar hall fell silent, followed by enthusiastic cheers, whistles, and even applause.

At this moment, a middle-aged white man, who appeared to be the bar owner and was accompanied by a bodyguard, listened to the bartender who had previously tried to persuade Li Heng. He then walked to Li Heng's side, pointed at the motionless man on the ground, and asked, "He's not dead, is he?"

Li Heng shook his head: "Don't worry, he's not dead, he just passed out!"

The middle-aged man nodded, then looked at Li Heng and said, "I'm the owner here. I know what happened. I'm sorry you had this happen to you in my bar. May I ask if you're from Tokyo University? Or...?"

"Dongda!" Li Heng interrupted the other person's guess.

"I guessed so..."

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, then said, "To express my apology, you and your friends can drink whatever you want tonight, it's on me."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng smiled and said, "Then thank you."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Have fun..."

After saying that, the other party walked up to the two young men and women who had been beaten first and had recovered quite a bit. They said something to each of them, and the men looked nervous and uneasy. Soon, the group helped the still unconscious man leave the bar in a sorry state.

After dealing with these,

Li Heng then saw the middle-aged boss walk to the music stage in the center of the hall, take the microphone from the singer, look at the bar's customers and announce that he would buy everyone a drink tonight, which won cheers from the crowd before he left.

The bar remained lively.

A corner of the bar.

Li Heng raised his glass and clinked it against Oleg's, then laughed, "How about that? I wasn't bragging, was I?"

"I'm absolutely not exaggerating!"

Oleg picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp, then said, "Lee, I've never admired anyone before, but today I have to admit defeat. You're absolutely amazing!"

He had barely finished speaking.

"Hi..."

Just then, a middle-aged woman of average looks but with a good figure walked up to the two of them and greeted Li Heng, "I'm Ross, can I have a drink with you? You were so cool just now!"

"sure..."

Li Heng smiled, raised his glass to clink with hers, and then chatted with her for a few more minutes before the middle-aged woman left on her own.

As soon as the woman left, Oleg exclaimed urgently, "Li, she clearly invited you! If you had agreed, you could have taken her to a hotel, a motel, or even the toilet and done it to her right now!"

Seeing Oleg's regretful and angry expression, Li Heng couldn't help but raise his glass speechlessly and say, "Don't you even know how old she is..."

But before he could finish speaking...

"Hi..."

Just then, a clear, cool female voice rang out. Li Heng turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman... no, a tall, elegant, mature beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a pencil skirt and blue long sleeves, her figure slightly exposed, exuding an intellectual aura. She was raising her glass to him and smiling, saying, "I'm Helena. I just witnessed your impressive skills. Would you like a drink?"

"certainly..."

Li Heng's eyes lit up, and he raised his glass with a smile.

Ten minutes later.

Helena, who was about to leave, smiled and said, "Li, your expertise and thirst for knowledge in ancient science amaze me. Could you give me your number? Perhaps we can discuss this together somewhere else sometime?"

As she spoke, she handed over her phone.

"Of course, it's my honor..."

Li Heng smiled as he took the phone and entered his number into it.

Helena took the phone, raised her glass, and smiled, "It was a pleasure chatting with you. See you next time..."

Li Heng raised his glass: "See you next time..."

Helena walked away, her figure swaying.

Oleg immediately leaned over, raised his glass to clink with Li Heng's, and said, "Didn't you say you didn't like older women?"

Li Heng smiled and asked, "So what do you think of her? How does she compare to the previous one?"

Oleg remained silent for a long time: "There's no comparison..."

Two hours later.

Li Heng glanced at the clock on the wall, which showed the time had reached midnight, put down his glass, walked to the other side of the bar, and sat down next to Oleg, who was chatting animatedly with a Black woman. He said, "It's getting late, we should head back."

"WTF..."

Oleg, who was having a pleasant conversation, was startled by the sound and immediately looked up at the clock, saying, "It's only midnight. We have such a great free opportunity tonight, don't spoil the fun. Let's go back later, Lee."

"Next time we can drink longer..."

Li Heng said in the same tone, "But we should go back today."

Oleg was taken aback, then immediately turned around and looked at his companion's serious expression. He suddenly realized something and nodded, "You're right, we should go back. Wait for me at the door, I need to say goodbye to Tina..."

Li Heng nodded, got up and left the bar. He walked to the bar entrance and looked around.

A few minutes later, Oleg hurried out and, seeing Li Heng, immediately asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did you find anything wrong?"

"No..."

Li Heng shook his head, looked away, picked up his phone, glanced at it, and then, seeing the car approaching in the distance, said, "The car's here, let's go..."

Twenty minutes later.

The car stopped on the street next to the apartment building, and the two got out and stood under the streetlights.

"call..."

Oleg breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed, "Finally back safe and sound..." He then looked at Li Heng beside him and said with a smile, "Li, you were so manly and cool tonight! If I were a woman, I would definitely fall in love with you!"

"You should just forget about it..."

Li Heng turned to look at Oleg, whose face was covered in a thick beard and who looked rough and sleazy. He immediately shook his head and said, "You f***ing ingrate, aren't you?"

"Ha ha..."

Oleg burst into laughter upon hearing this, then changed the subject, saying, "It's a pity Max and Caroline weren't there today. Otherwise, they would have fallen in love with you after seeing you take on five opponents single-handedly. What a shame."

"That doesn't matter..."

Hearing this, Li Heng shook his head and laughed, "Besides, how do you know they didn't see that scene? They might even fall in love with me."

"plum..."

Hearing this narcissistic remark, Oleg immediately shook his head: "While you were certainly very manly tonight, you're far too narcissistic. I can't speak for the future, but right now, Max and Caroline definitely don't like you, otherwise you two would have already gotten together..."

"What you said makes some sense..."

"Haha, right..."

......

Back in the apartment room.

Li Heng took off his clothes and prepared to cook something to eat. He had just drunk all the alcohol on his own and was now extremely hungry.

"squeak..."

At that moment, Jerry the mouse immediately jumped out, stood on his shoulder, and squeaked.

He could understand what the little guy was yelling about; it was related to the fight at the bar earlier. The little guy had wanted to rush out and bite the other person, but he stopped him.

In his eyes, they were just a few ordinary thugs. The little guy was now a witch's pet, with the talent of plague. One bite from him would definitely give them the plague, and it would be an enhanced version of the plague, which would surely kill them.

"I see..."

Li Heng was busy cooking a late-night snack, but seeing the little guy not only barking on his shoulder but also jumping onto the kitchen stove and standing on two legs to continue barking at him, he couldn't help but say helplessly, "Next time I'll definitely let you bite them..."

"squeak..."

The little guy was finally satisfied. He jumped onto him, then leaped onto the sofa, found the TV remote, turned on the TV, and started watching by himself.

This little guy has become increasingly mischievous these past few days.

Li Heng immediately thought of the second witch pet he had just ordered yesterday, and imagined that the seller would personally deliver the raven in five days.

It's worth noting that mice are still within the raven's diet.

He was looking forward to the raven and the little guy spending time together.

Among a wizard's pets, some get along well, while others clash and fight each other. His two pets from his previous life belonged to the latter category.

However, he estimates that these two are unlikely to fight in the future.

Soon.

A steaming bowl of noodles is ready.

Li Heng took out a small bowl and gave Jerry some food, and was about to pick up his chopsticks to start eating.

At that moment, a virtual data display emitting a pale golden light suddenly appeared before their eyes: ["Firepower Mastery (Beginner)" derivation maxed out, upgraded to "Firepower Mastery (Intermediate)"]

Should we continue the simulation?

"Huh..."

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Li Heng was surprised. He originally thought it would take about half a month to upgrade this skill to the intermediate level, but he didn't expect to complete it in only half a month. It was a pleasant surprise.

I felt the newfound understanding in my mind of various firearms, including handguns, that I had gained at this point.

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Li Heng thought for a moment, then, with a sudden thought, he clicked "Confirm":

[Deduction of "Firepower Mastery (Intermediate)" has begun. Deduction progress: 1%...]

The werewolf of that extraordinary species could be shot directly with a gun, unlike the ones in movies and TV shows that required silver bullets. So he guessed that other extraordinary species in this world, like the vampires he had identified before, could probably be shot directly with a gun as well.

Therefore, the importance of firearms is self-evident.

As his "Firearms Mastery" skill improves, the firearms in his hands will definitely become more powerful. This power is not like the sorcery proficiency, but simply the familiarity and mastery of firearm types, making various firearms more accurate, faster, and stronger in his hands!

......

three days later.

The Bronx.

The Black Werewolf Family's New York branch office is located in a small meeting room.

At the head of the table, Walker Black, his face grim, looked at his four elite werewolves and coldly ordered, "Continue the investigation! Investigate no matter the cost!"

"Damon..."

As he spoke, he looked at the tall, muscular black man beside him and said, "Take some of your old things with you, and come with me to Manhattan later."

Upon hearing this, the black man, Damon, immediately asked respectfully, "Sir, what kind of old things are you referring to?"

Walker Black: "It's whatever he uses most often, the things he likes the most, the better. I'll take you to the 'Sisters of Witches' in Manhattan; they'll definitely find the murderer who killed the young blood of my Black family!"

Damon: "Yes, sir..."
