Chapter 628 New Director
The professional ability "Emerald Vision" learned by the Ranger at level 4 is similar to "Mist Vision" and "Ice Vision", and is particularly suitable for hunting in an environment with rich vegetation.
Unfortunately, the story stage of the module "Harbor City Raiders" is mainly concentrated in the city, and there are not many jungle adventure scenes for Martin to take advantage of his vision.
The 4th-level Ranger also obtained the first 1st-level natural magic.
Martin chose "Giant Transformation".
This is a very practical choice, especially for a ranger.
When Martin casts "Giant Transformation" on himself, his hound can also share the spell effect, increase in size by one level, and increase in strength by +2, significantly improving combat effectiveness.
The hound "Landlord" is upgraded simultaneously with Martin.
HP +8, natural defense +1, strength +1 (19).
There is no reward profession in this chapter.
The three candidate reward feats are "Improved Charge", "Precise Shooting" and "Rapid Shooting".
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng have already chosen "Mastered Collision" in other modules, and this feat is not suitable for their current professions, so it should be ruled out first.
"Accurate Shooting" and "Rapid Shooting" are both good.
After some discussion, both of them finally chose "Rapid Shooting".
…
Rapid Shooting: Projectile weapons, with an additional attack.
…
After learning this feat, Jiang Feng can shoot twice per round.
Gao Fei currently does not have a good ranged weapon.
However, if necessary, he can borrow Martin's shotgun.
It is a bit regrettable that "Rapid Shooting" is only applicable to "projectile" weapons, and cannot make magic rays such as "scorching rays" fire in two bursts.
But then again, if a pistol-shaped magic wand is designed, a "scorching ray" can be fired by pulling the trigger. Does such a weapon meet the premise of "rapid shooting"?
Gao Fei thinks this idea can be tried.
He himself was not capable of making a "pistol wand", but he could tell Ma Yun about this idea and ask Comrade Qijishi to help process a sample, maybe there would be a surprise.
After completing this chapter, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng went offline together and had a simple lunch in the rental house.
There were ready-made sausages, bacon and bacon ribs at home, all of which were made and sent by Gao Fei's father.
The newly bought rice cooker is said to have a clay pot rice function.
Chef Gao tried it, and the result was average in appearance, the rice was too thin and not crispy enough, but the taste was still good.
Comrade Xiao Jiang was not picky, and ate a big bowl of clay pot rice beautifully, burping and expressing his satisfaction.
After a break and some fruit after the meal, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng went online again and continued to advance the main plot of "Hong Kong City Raiders".
At the opening of this chapter, the perspective switched to the heroine.
From the day they joined forces to exorcise ghosts, a month has passed in the game.
Louise Quinn and Roger Wayne communicated every two or three days.
Frequent correspondence brought the two young people closer together, and also made Louise feel more and more torn.
She didn't want to hide it from Roger anymore, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to confess her true identity to him, and she felt very entangled.
At this time, she received an unexpected invitation.
The host who invited her to the banquet was John Lucas II, a well-known millionaire in Binhai City and the second-generation helmsman of Lucas Shipping Insurance Company.
This young and promising entrepreneur and banker became the undisputed leader of Binhai City's shipping insurance industry at the age of 30, but behind the glamorous image, Mr. Lucas Jr. also had unknown troubles.
The purpose of inviting guests to this banquet was to completely solve a long-standing problem in the shipping insurance business.
The guest of honor at the Lucas family dinner, James Gordon, was also a famous figure in Binhai City recently.
The newly appointed police chief also took charge of anti-smuggling and anti-piracy business.
As soon as Director Gordon took office, he announced that he was ready to crack down on organized crime in the city, especially the "Blood Anchor Gang" that colluded with the "Raging Pirates" and smuggled and sold stolen goods.
In fact, the reason why Mr. Gordon, who was known for his iron-blooded reputation, was transferred to Binhai City by the imperial high-level officials was that he was expected to create a world here and change the current situation of rampant smuggling and piracy.
After the news came out, officials at all levels in Binhai City, including gentry and celebrities, did not publicly support the new director's drastic measures to crack down on organized crime.
People kept silent, which was already a face for Mr. Gordon.
Privately, his boasts had become a laughing stock after dinner.
An outsider like Mr. Gordon, who had not yet stepped on the land, dared to say that he would crack down on pirates and gangs. It was too ignorant.
The locals of Binhai City certainly knew how deep-rooted the two chronic diseases of gangs and pirates were.
As long as the smuggling business is still thriving, the status of gangs and pirates is almost unshakable.
Binhai City is close to the "Belt Canal". As a maritime transportation hub connecting the two oceans, it has a unique location advantage in industry trade and naturally becomes a distribution center for smuggling and selling stolen goods.
These objective factors determine the prosperity of the local black industry. How can the status quo be changed because of a police chief who overestimates his own capabilities?
In fact, there have been several police chiefs and even higher-ranking bureaucrats who shouted beautiful slogans about fighting pirates and gangs at the beginning of their tenure.
As a result, they failed to change the underground ecology of Binhai City. Instead, they were changed by the environment. They either gave up their original intentions and became more pragmatic, or simply joined the smuggling group and made ill-gotten gains together.
The social circles of Binhai City did not think that James Gordon would be fundamentally different from his predecessor.
In this atmosphere of waiting to see the new director's joke, only John Lucas II broke the silence and took the lead in expressing his support for Director Gordon.
Inviting the director's family of four to attend the family dinner was his way of expressing support.
In order to show his sincerity and also to support the new director, Lucas Jr. sent out invitations to many celebrities in the city.
Louise Quinn inherited her grandmother's noble title. Although she was low-key and rarely attended social events, she was a member of the city's upper-class society, so it was natural for her to receive an invitation from Lucas.
That evening, she had nothing to do, so she went to Lucas's house for a dinner.
First, she wanted to relax, and second, she wanted to find out the latest gossip and news in the social circle, and maybe she could also help Roger and Martin get business.
