Chapter 153: Chapter 151: What Kind of Robbery Efficiency is This?

“Hello, introduce yourself to everyone!”
“Hey bro! I’m from Baltimore, you can call me Epic!” Mavis is not only reading the dialogue, but she is also trying hard to imitate the special African American hip-hop accent.
However, her clear little girl’s voice just couldn’t imitate it, and Lincoln burst into laughter on the spot.
“Hahaha! Wait a minute, Mavis!”
There were just too many points to ridicule in that one sentence, and Lincoln didn’t even know which one to ridicule first!
“Why is it in both English and Chinese? Is this how the script is written? And, does anyone really give their child a name like ‘Epic’? It wouldn’t be a gaming ID, would it?”
“This interview is a video! Mavis wanted to make it easy for Master to listen, so she translated a bit. Hehe, did Mavis imitate it well?”
“Great!” Lincoln praised Mavis without hesitation, “But show me the video anyway.”
“Hmph!” Mavis on the screen frowned and turned around, angrily opening a door to disappear.
A video of a black man being interviewed appeared on the tablet.
He was wearing eight rings, with a thick gold chain around his neck like an iron chain, a black baseball cap on his head, swaying as he spoke, and fully embracing the hip-hop vibe.
The reporter opposite him asked, “Where did you purchase your Mirage
Console from?”
The black man looked disdainful: “Are you kidding me?! How could I buy it?!” “Ah?” The reporter was visibly surprised, “You mean, it’s very hard to get?”
Epic looked at him like he was an idiot, “Did I not make myself clear? You can’t! Buy! It! In Baltimore, no one can buy it! It’s priceless!”
“So how did you get it?” “The most important things are only for the strongest men to possess!”
“What do you mean?”
Epic pulled a Glock pistol from his waist, skillfully cocked it with a click,
“Ah? Ah! You…you used a gun to rob it?” The reporter unconsciously started using respectful terms.
“Of course not, how could I?” The black man suddenly laughed.
The reporter breathed a sigh of relief, “Ah, so it’s a joke.”
“That’s right, a pistol would never work!” Epic continued, “I obviously used an automatic rifle!”
“In your place, do you have to fight over game consoles with a gunfight?” The reporter found it inconceivable.
Not only did the reporter find it inconceivable, but Lincoln also found it too unbelievable.
He even wondered if this black man was actually a stand-up comedian, and this interview was just an impromptu stand-up act.
But what Lincoln didn’t expect was that something even crazier was going to happen next-
“I don’t care about other places, and it’s none of my business. But in our neighborhood, the most profitable business is always for the strongest people to do! I have 1,800 pistols, 420 automatic rifles, 800 good brothers, and this most profitable business should belong to me.” Epic was full of confidence.
“Bus…business?” The reporter was clearly flustered; things had completely gone beyond his expectations.
He originally thought he would simply interview some foreign players, learn about the overseas player ecosystem, and get some interesting news. That was his entire goal.
—He never thought that one day he would interview a foreign gang boss, who would calmly face the camera and talk about his “big money-making plan”.
“Yeah, isn’t it obvious?”
“Obvious? What’s obvious?” The reporter’s mind was in chaos.
“One game console doesn’t account for much, even if it sells for a high price. So one game console isn’t important; having countless game consoles is important.” Epic looked at the reporter with disappointment as if he was looking at a dimwit with no business sense.
“So, you entered the game today for…business?”
“Yeah, I sent a lot of collaboration emails to Cloud Dream’s work mailbox, but I never got a response. I guess it’s because there are too many similar emails, and I can’t show my sincerity through emails, so now I log into their game to show them my sincerity and strength!”
“What kind of collaboration do you hope to achieve?”
Epic grinned, “It’s to make big money together, of course! Money! Money! Money, you know? (Money, money, money, do you understand?) I have guns, they have game consoles, and together, it’s like striking it rich! They contribute the game consoles, I sell them, and we all share the profits! I am the ‘Generous Epic,’ well known to people in Baltimore!”
“Ah, I see.” The reporter didn’t know what to say; he couldn’t exactly say, “I wish you success with your collaboration with Cloud Dream.”
By the way, he also understood why this man would accept the interview: perhaps he failed to contact customer service in the game and wanted to try seeking a public partnership?
“Over there, is selling Mirage Consoles really that profitable?”
“Hey boy! In Baltimore, all those who sell white powder are trying to contact Cloud Dream, what do you think?”
This black man obviously looked down on the reporter more and more, and his address had been downgraded from “bro” (brother) to “boy” (little brother).
The reporter had no idea what to ask, let alone whether to continue the interview.
Fortunately, at that moment, a piercing siren saved him.
NPC police in their cars, accompanied by a piercing siren, charged straight at them!
Before the reporter could react, the older brother had already swiftly turned around and shot at the approaching police car!
The police car immediately braked, and the car door on one side opened. NPC police officers quickly got out of the car and fired back.
Epic had already found cover behind a car tire, wielding two guns, and shooting back.
He even took out two hand grenades from his pocket, pulled the pins and threw them out.
The hand grenades landed precisely, rolled under the police car, and stopped right at the feet of the NPC police.
After a “boom,” two of the NPC police’s firepower points had disappeared.
This level of precision was definitely the black man’s own skill!
—But that was the last thing the reporter saw.
Epic had experience and quick reflexes and dodged the first round of attacks. However, the reporter couldn’t handle it and was shot down by the NPC police’s first sweep.
As the reporter’s body disappeared, the interview footage ended.
The appearance of the police car answered Lincoln’s question—
Where did this black guy’s hip-hop outfit -especially the big gold chain around his neck and the eight rings on his hands- come from?
The original outfit didn’t have these items, and even if you wanted to get a set like this in the game, it shouldn’t be so quick.
Now seeing the police come, the truth was clear—He robbed them for zero cost!
These piles of gold and jewelry must have been worth well over 950 US dollars!
What’s even more impressive is that this guy not only robbed a jewelry store to dress up according to his status but also robbed a gun shop to get weapons.
Even more impressively, even after robbing two stores, he could calmly accept such a long interview and the police only managed to catch up after the interview ended.
Lincoln estimated the time in his heart and was astonished.
What kind of robbery efficiency is this?!
Compared to this, Camille Victoria and her group’s robbery skills were just pathetic!
