Under Du Mu's Great Memory Restoration Technique, Erica finally recovered all her memories.
But the price was that Erica's face was swollen like a pig's head, and her chest was one large and one small, a truly horrific sight.
Sensing his ex-girlfriend's miserable state, Matt's heart ached.
The bicycle he couldn't bear to ride himself was being ridden so hard by someone else that its parts were almost falling apart.
He endured the pain, limping over to Erica: "Erica, I..."
Bang!
Erica delivered another kick to the groin, once again sending Matt to his knees.
After recovering her memory, Erica's temper was clearly even more explosive than when she had amnesia.
Especially after realizing her face was like a pig's head and her chest was uneven, she became even angrier!
But she couldn't beat Du Mu, so she could only vent her anger on her ex-boyfriend, Matt.
"So what exactly did Matt Lawyer do to make his ex-girlfriend hit him so hard?"
Du Mu's heart was filled with curiosity.
He couldn't help but reasonably suspect that it might have something to do with Matt's overly sensitive physique.
After a fierce kick to Matt, Erica seemed to have vented some of her anger and calmed down slightly.
With her face still swollen like a pig's head, she coldly dropped a line.
"The Hand has set its sights on you. Good luck."
With that, Erica turned and left without a hint of reluctance, completely disregarding Matt's lingering expression.
Du Mu didn't take Erica's warning to heart at all.
Just an ordinary ninja organization.
They don't form hand seals, nor do they have colored contact lenses or tattoos. What's there to worry about?
...
"You did well, Agent Du Mu."
Nick Fury, as always, sat behind his desk, much like an unmoving NPC in all games.
He pulled open a drawer, took out a new ID and a stack of documents, and pushed them over.
"Your Level 6 Agent clearance has been activated. This is your new ID and the corresponding clearance explanation. Remember, Level 6 means you can access more classified information, and it also means you need to bear greater responsibility."
The 'Mystery of the Ninja' mission has been completed!
Reward obtained: Level 6 S.H.I.E.L.D. (HYDRA) Agent clearance qualification.
Your S.H.I.E.L.D. (HYDRA) identity clearance has been upgraded to: Level 6.
New functional modules unlocked!
Function One: Investigation System upgraded! New 'View NPC Basic Panel' function added.
Function Two: Morality System activated!
Investigation System: You can now initially view an NPC's basic information.
Morality System: Players who complete certain specific goals or tasks have a certain probability of gaining Justice Points or Sin Points. Justice Points and Sin Points do not cancel each other out.
Each time his identity clearance was promoted, Du Mu's game system would unlock or upgrade more special functions.
For example, the map teleportation, mini-map enemy markers, and auto-pickup that he frequently used were conveniences brought by previous promotions.
And now, the system had upgraded again, bringing two new functions!
Du Mu already had basic investigation functions, but previously he could usually only see an NPC's name and title above their head.
Now, the upgraded Investigation System allowed him to see more basic information!
He immediately used the Investigation function on Nick Fury in front of him.
NPC: Nick Fury.
Identity: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Level 10 S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent.
Affection: 50.
Evaluation: One of the undercover Agents hidden in HYDRA, known as the Motherfucker.
Du Mu: "..."
How thoroughly had S.H.I.E.L.D. been infiltrated by HYDRA, becoming such a sieve?
Du Mu complained helplessly, turning his gaze to the other newly unlocked Morality System.
This function was uncommon in games, and he didn't know how Justice Points and Sin Points were specifically acquired, or what their purpose was.
Du Mu decided to find a place to experiment.
...
After leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Du Mu returned to New York City, specifically seeking out a district with relatively chaotic public order.
Not long after, he found his target in a secluded back alley.
A Black youth dressed in hip-hop attire.
Standard Black thugs like these had a refresh rate of up to 60% in the alleys of some chaotic districts of New York, and their equipment drop rate was even frighteningly high, far beyond what other countries could compare to.
When Du Mu first started playing the game, a large portion of his early pistol bullet supplies came from farming these small monsters, which led to New York's public order being significantly higher for a time. He felt a little nostalgic thinking about it.
At this moment, the hip-hop youth was violently snatching a middle-aged woman's handbag.
The old woman was no match for the gorilla and quickly had her bag taken away.
But the hip-hop Black man was not satisfied. After snatching the bag, instead of immediately fleeing, he leered at the old woman with a lewd expression, seemingly intending to commit a sexual assault as well.
"Uh, excuse me, a moment please."
A voice suddenly interrupted his actions.
The hip-hop Black man turned his head and saw Du Mu standing behind him.
His good deed interrupted, the hip-hop Black man pulled out a dagger and glared fiercely at Du Mu.
"Asian guy, I think you're... you're quite handsome, you can interrupt whenever you want."
The hip-hop Black man's voice trembled as he looked at the golden desert eagle pointed at his forehead.
Fuck, he'd run into a tough guy!
Prevented a criminal activity, Justice Points +0.01.
Indeed, it was pretty much as Du Mu had imagined.
Since it was a game related to a superhero background, the Morality System was highly likely to be linked to crime.
It's just that these Justice Points were a bit few, and he didn't know what they were for.
Just then, an agile figure descended from above, landing on the fire escape on the side of the alley.
"So lively, are you having some secret party? How about I join you?"
Du Mu looked up and saw a strange guy wearing a red sleeveless hoodie, blue sweatpants, and goggles made from binocular lens covers, with a crude spider pattern drawn on his clothes.
The outfit looked a bit shabby.
Du Mu investigated him.
NPC: Peter Parker.
Codename: Spider-Man.
Affection: 10.
Evaluation: A representative figure of 'the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation', an uncle killer, a failed man.
This comment looked quite pathetic.
Du Mu felt the strong aura of a commoner emanating from Peter, and instantly determined that the other party belonged to the latter category, 'the poor rely on mutation'.
Pathetic, commoner.
This was Du Mu's first impression of Peter.
"Spider-Man! Help! Save me!"
The hip-hop Black man, with a gun pointed at him, as if seeing a savior, immediately cried out to Peter for help.
He recognized this street hero who had been unusually active in Queens recently!
Peter actually arrived not too late.
He had witnessed the entire process of the hip-hop Black man snatching the woman's handbag and knew that this hip-hop Black man was no good.
As for Du Mu, Peter thought he was a passerby who had stepped forward to stop the hip-hop Black man's atrocities.
Both in terms of stance and humanity, Peter naturally leaned towards Du Mu's side.
Of course, Black lives matter too.
As a superhero, Peter couldn't just stand by.
Peter looked at Du Mu and advised: "Buddy, calm down, put down the pistol. Killing won't solve the problem."
Du Mu chuckled: "But it can solve the person who causes the problem."
Peter: "..."
That statement seemed to have nothing wrong with it.
