America, starting as a trainee police officer

Seeing Li Wei's expression, Nolan assumed he was just putting on a brave face, but didn't say anything more.

He patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, feel free to talk to me if you need anything."

This is also a characteristic of Americans.

I like to resolve psychological issues through chatting.

But Li Wei really didn't have any psychological burden.

After saying goodbye to Nolan, Levi went into Zoe's office.

Just then, Percy came out from inside.

"Sir!" Li Wei greeted him.

"I already told you, just call me uncle." Percy patted Levi on the shoulder. "Come over for a meal sometime."

During this operation, he nearly lost his only son.

Percy was genuinely grateful to Levi for giving West the magazine.

"I'll have West contact you later. Go ahead." Percy didn't give Levi a chance to refuse, patted him on the shoulder again, and left.

In Zoe's office.

Li Wei knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Upon seeing Levi, Zoe got up from her seat and came to Levi's side.

"Are you alright?" Zoe asked with concern.

"I'm fine, sir."

Li Wei was telling the truth, but Zoe saw it as bravado.

"I've been in your situation before. Trust me, don't try to tough it out. Don't worry about things at the police station. Go home and rest for a few days. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you want to talk to someone, feel free to come see me anytime, okay?"

He saw that everyone in the police station treated him like a baby.

Li Wei was quite moved.

Although the LAPD has a bad reputation among the public, the precinct headed by Zoe is quite harmonious.

Although there will still be brain-dead characters like Bishop in it.

But most people are still normal.

"Thank you, sir."

"Alright, if there's anything you need help with, don't hold back, just say it. Go on."

After leaving Zoe's office.

Li Wei went to the dressing room and changed his clothes.

"Hey, newbie."

Just as Li Wei was changing his clothes, Bradford's voice rang out.

"Sir."

"Thank you for today..." Bradford was a bit bad at expressing his emotions; everything he said was stiff and unnatural, like a tough guy.

But he still noticed that Li Wei had deliberately crippled Vance today.

But he didn't say anything; he just silently expressed his gratitude in his heart.

Imagine Vance going to jail for life with a limp—that outcome is thrilling to even think about.

Bradford was quite grateful to Levi for this.

"It's all I should do, sir."

Li Wei gave the same standard answer.

He shot and broke Vance's leg simply to prevent him from escaping.

"Anyway, thanks. Are you free tonight? Want to grab a drink?"

After expressing his gratitude, Bradford invited Levi to join him.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

He would most likely not go if Nolan and Lucy invited him, but he would consider it if Tim and Lopez invited him.

Why should they be the ones holding the evaluation forms for their internships?

...

Outside the police station, there's a mobile bar converted from a campervan.

This is a mobile bar run by retired police officers from the Central Wilshire Precinct.

This is a bar that the police officers from this branch often frequent.

He saw Lopez, Wrigley, Nolan, Lucy, and others sitting in their seats waiting for him.

Li Wei understood immediately.

It was because these guys were worried about having mental health issues that they called themselves out.

"Hey newbie, come sit down. What would you like to drink? The first one's on me."

Lopez shouted it out generously.

Li Wei didn't stand on ceremony either.

They ordered a beer and sat down around the table.

"Hey, if you need any help, just say so. Most of us here have been through this, except for Lucy and West."

Lopez took a sip of beer and steered the conversation toward this topic in a relaxed tone.

Li Wei smiled bitterly to himself. To be honest, he didn't need any advice, but these veteran police officers were clearly all genuinely nice guys.

"Thanks, but I really don't need anything. Today it's either him or me who dies, I know that clearly, and I really don't have any psychological burden."

Lopez was clearly unconvinced by Levi's words, but he didn't press Levi any further.

She raised her glass: "You'd better...come on, drink up."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei reluctantly raised his glass and clinked it with everyone.

...

One night passed.

Li Wei rubbed his temples.

Yesterday, he was forced to drink heavily by that group of veteran police officers, but luckily he's in excellent physical condition.

There was no memory loss at the scene.

After washing up and clearing his head, Li Wei stood in the bathroom and opened the system.

I checked yesterday's loot.

Three blank skill books, one skill conversion scroll, one small silver bottle, and one substitute coin.

The harvest was good.

"System, using two [Blank Skill Books], upgrade the Stealth skill to Lv.Max."

[Using a "Blank Skill Book", Stealth Lv3 -> Stealth Lv.Max. Confirm? Yes/No]

"yes!"

With Li Wei's confirmation.

[Stealth skill has reached the highest level (Lv.Max), activating the extraordinary skill: Vanishing Without a Trace]

【无影无蹤：在11：00PM到05：00AM这六个小时内，使用此技能进入潜行状态，将获得5分钟的隐形时间。（注意：仅在生物视线下隐形，摄像头等物理成像的设备无效。冷却时间6小时）】

Wow, this skill is pretty interesting.

First of all, it can be confirmed that this is definitely not invisibility in the physical sense, but most likely some kind of psychological suggestion.

The other person is simply not seeing themselves in their subjective consciousness; it's not that their eyes are actually unable to capture the light reflected from their own body.

But that's enough for him to do a lot of things.

But... to be fair, isn't this supposed to be the Crime Buster System? Why are the skills it gives out getting worse and worse...?

Li Wei shook his head, not thinking much of it; he still had things to do today.

Thinking this, he logged out of the system.

...

Chinatown.

Seeing so many Chinese faces on the street, Li Wei felt a deep sense of kinship.

Before long, he arrived in front of the largest martial arts school in Chinatown.

I pushed open the door and walked in.

"Brother, are you here to learn martial arts or just to observe?"

Li Wei's demeanor was so upright that the martial arts school's apprentices mistook him for a tourist, not a local.

He spoke Mandarin with a Cantonese accent.

"I'm here to learn martial arts," Li Wei replied in fluent Mandarin.

The apprentice was a little surprised to hear this answer.

A tourist travels all the way to Los Angeles to learn martial arts? That's strange.

But money talks.

The apprentice didn't say much and led Li Wei into the inner hall.

Martial arts gyms in Los Angeles aren't cheap. The stick fighting course Li Wei wants to learn costs $40 per session, and a monthly pass is $160.

There was no other way; the baton was the only cold weapon that Li Wei could use anytime, anywhere, so learning baton techniques was his best option.

For Li Wei now, this amount of money is nothing, but this is not the course he wants.

Are there any one-on-one intensive courses? For example, classes for three consecutive days?
