Demigod Mage in America

Chapter 26 Mission

With his Eagle Vision ability, Renn witnessed the meeting.

"Huh? Interesting, these two actually ran into each other."

He tapped the armrest; two days had passed since he completed the transaction with Zhang Tuan.

Raine has completely absorbed the power of faith and has also obtained new power of faith from Lux.

As a reward, he had originally planned to give Catherine an antique today; it was a magical item.

As soon as he activated Eagle Vision, he saw the two women meeting.

Compared to a few days ago, Lux's makeup had completely worn off, and she looked much more haggard.

However, Renn discovered that this girl did indeed have a bit of a natural begging-for-sacred-body vibe.

In less than a week, she had already recorded all the locations where relief food was distributed in the vicinity on the second-hand tablet she had found.

Not only the location was recorded, but also the time of distribution and the quality of the food were recorded.

For example, how many times a week is this food distributed? When is it distributed? What is the quality of the food?

She recorded everything on the tablet, which could be viewed simply by opening it. She also hacked into the security cameras in these places. Although she couldn't control the content of the cameras, she could still see whether food was being distributed in these places.

This makes Lux's begging efficiency far surpass that of other homeless people.

For her now, the most dangerous thing is probably the conflict that could happen around her at any time.

It was the first time Ryan had ever heard of beggar gangs in America, where homeless people formed cliques.

Moreover, it's even more serious than in China. In China, at most, people from the same hometown form cliques, but that's not the case in America.

Ethnicity, gender, religion, or even shared interests in a particular circle can all form a small gang.

These nomadic gangs would then demand protection money from others and establish their own territories.

If it weren't for Ryan's care, this female hacker would have been dragged into an alley on her second night on the streets.

Seeing the two chatting happily, Ryan's expression grew increasingly strange.

Could these two become best friends?

They even started exchanging contact information.

"That's outrageous..."

However, at that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

[Mission: Head to the Lexton Bar on East 97th Street and investigate the bar owner's secret... Reward: Bamboo Whistle, 5 Points]

Lux, who was chatting with Catherine, suddenly paused.

Previously, she would receive rewards for completing tasks related to homeless people, but this was the first time the system had proactively assigned her a task.

Could it be that the system has evolved?

She talked to Catherine while looking at her system.

Now, she has a new skill on her panel.

In order to conceal her appearance, she had to first exchange for the disguise skill to make herself look more ordinary.

She changed into a set of secondhand clothes that she had picked up from a trash can.

However, now that I've received a mission, it seems it's time to end my conversation with Catherine today.

Just as Lux was about to say goodbye, Catherine spoke first.

"Are you in some trouble? Do you need any help? Don't let my appearance fool you, I graduated from the police academy."

Lux, who was about to refuse, suddenly had a change of heart when she heard about the police academy.

Isn't that a coincidence? She's currently thinking about how to find someone with enough self-defense capabilities, and Catherine seems to be an option.

"That's great. Here's the thing, I saw the owner of the Leighton Bar acting a bit suspiciously earlier, and I suspect he has some secrets."

"So you want to go deeper into East Harlem? It's not safe there."

"Hey, don't worry about me, you know I'm a really good hacker."

Catherine's eyes darkened upon hearing this.

Why has our country become like this?

She had seen Lux's skills before; it only took her a few seconds to hack her phone, and she was also very skilled.

A person like that should never be homeless, yet she is currently wandering the streets.

She even encountered danger; if it weren't for her excellent skills, she might be in serious trouble now...

The white man who had previously made malicious intentions has been handed over to Catherine's colleague.

Catherine was very impatient throughout the process, but Lux kept trying to persuade her, saying that this was America as it is now.

For the first time, Catherine wavered. Was the law of this country really as sacred as she had imagined?

She can use the excuse that she can't beat Ryan as an excuse, but what about other people?

The two arrived at the Lexton bar that Lux had mentioned, which was only two blocks away from where she usually hung out, not too far.

The bar was not open during the day, of course, and Catherine wondered why Lux had come here.

"What do you want to do?" Catherine made no attempt to hide her curiosity.

Lux, without looking up, said, "Could you check around for me?"

In the United States, benches are equipped with various human-proof features to prevent homeless people from sleeping there, such as the barbs that Carter is now scratching on the inside of his thigh.

Her hands moved rapidly across the tablet, the dazzling interface changes making it hard for Catherine to keep up.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh!"

As Lux opened a file, a screen popped up.

Catherine was about to lean closer to look when she discovered that the screen had suddenly gone blurry.

Catherine: ?

She rubbed her eyes and found them still blurry. She looked up and saw that she could clearly see the newspaper on the chair next to her, and everything else seemed normal.

Lux's computer screen was the only one that was blurry, no matter how close she got.

Ryan, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but chuckle. This little policewoman is so cute.

She was practically sniffing the screen, as if she were severely nearsighted, leaving Lux completely bewildered.

Raine felt that this was the world he longed for. In the other world, although he was unrestrained, he did not like the people there, and most of the women who approached him were only after his own interests.

Moreover, the vast majority of those people led typical medieval lives; they had no interest in romance or fun.

However, even though it's fun, there are still serious things to do.

Ryan turned his attention to the tablet, which displayed the tavern's internal surveillance cameras, which numbered four.

They faced the bar, the seating area, the entrance, and the basement, with Ryan's gaze fixed intently on the basement.

Unlike the outside, which was closed and closed for business, the basement of the Leighton Bar had been transformed into a private clinic, with a woman lying on an operating table and busy figures around her.

The scene before him seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined.

However, we've already obtained the intelligence; that's enough.

"Hey, all done~"

Lux stretched, the gloomy sky unable to dampen her cheerful mood.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just won a prize on a scratch-off lottery ticket I bought last night."

She made up an excuse on the spot, but what she really wanted to say was...

She's already got 7 points. With just 2 more, she can redeem a spot in a shelter, and then she won't have to worry about dying outside at night anymore.
