Chapter 114 Genius (big chapter)
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Redu community, Luke's house.
An Audi Q5 parked at the door.
Linda, Fatty, Robert, Val got out of the car.
"Hi, my loved ones, welcome to the Redo community."
Val asked impatiently as soon as he got out of the car, "Luke, I heard you bought a big one."
"Yes, it's inside." Luke opened the garage door.
"Wow... This is what a man should drive." Val patted the car door, "Can I test drive it?"
"No." Luke refused very simply, this big baby is still fresh to him, but he is reluctant to let others touch it.
Especially the unreliable uncle.
This guy spends more time drunk than sober every day.
Really going to be hit by him, Luke didn't even make sense.
Robert patted his grandson on the shoulder, "Boy, it's a very wise choice."
Val retreated to the next best thing, "Where's your Harley?"
"Don't think about it, send it to maintenance."
Not to mention losing the motorcycle, even if he didn’t lose it, Luke would not dare to lend it to him. Motorcycles are more dangerous than cars. What if there is an accident with this thing?
Val complained, "What a mean boy, just like your grandfather."
Linda also looked around, "This car cost $130,000?"
Luke nodded, "Although it's a bit more expensive, it's still worth it."
Linda curled her lips, "That's right, next time I can't pay the rent, I will have a place to sleep."
Luke "…"
"Brother, this car is super cool." The little fat man was full of excitement, looking around and touching the car, he couldn't wait to get in and have a ride.
"I'll take you for a ride another day." Luke patted his younger brother on the shoulder and greeted, "Comeon, I'll show you around the house."
Robert looked at the barbecue grill, "Hey, you have a good eye, this barbecue grill is very useful."
"Of course." Luke usually doesn't buy things, and he buys them if he wants to.
Luke shows the family around the house.
Linda walked around the house, nodded with satisfaction, "The community is good, and so is the house."
The climate in Los Angeles is pleasant, with blue skies and a light breeze blowing.
Beer, drinks, and fruit plates are placed in the yard, and family members sit and chat together.
The little fat man and Val got together and wandered around the Mercedes-Benz G500, not knowing what they were doing.
Robert is fiddling with the barbecue.
Luke poured a glass of orange juice for his mother, "Is the little fat man's birthday coming soon?"
"That's right, half a month ago I started to hint that I was preparing a birthday present, and I pretended not to understand."
Luke smiled, "How do you plan to live with him?"
"Not ready yet."
"Tell me when you think about it."
Seeing the little fat man and Val coming, the two stopped this topic.
"Hey, what were you guys doing in the garage?"
The little fat man said, "I took a few photos and will show my classmates tomorrow. My super cool brother bought a super cool car."
"Cool." Luke smiled.
Robert also came over, "The barbecue grill is ready, and it will be ready for use in a while."
"Grandpa, I'll let you try my handicraft later." Luke clinked glasses with him.
Robert nodded, "Good, we finally have a real man in our family."
val "..."
Linda rubbed her chin, seemed to have something on her mind, and struggled for a while, "Luke, how much money do you have left?"
"There are tens of thousands more? Do you want to use it?" Luke also saw that his mother seemed to have something in mind.
"No, I don't need your money.
You grow up and have your own income.
I'm very relieved... I don't want to ask too much.
But... I'm just making a suggestion... Have you considered making some investments. "
Linda said it implicitly, but Luke also heard it, because he was afraid that he would spend money indiscriminately, and smiled, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"I haven't done any business, but I have been investing in stocks, which is also influenced by your grandfather. If you want to invest in stocks, I can give you some advice."
Robert echoed, "I also have a few good stocks and have held them for more than ten years. If you need them, I can introduce them to you."
Many people in the United States play stocks. Not everyone wants to get rich overnight with stocks. It is more of a means of investment preservation.
The return on investment in the American stock market is still impressive.
Actually, "Luke" also invested in stocks in the past two years, but after spending too much money and selling them, he still has a stock account.
Under the inducement of his two relatives, Luke took out 35,000 US dollars to invest in the stock market, leaving 2,000 yuan for spare.
Luke invested in a total of seven stocks, and each stock invested 5,000 U.S. dollars. He felt that this was more secure.
Actually, regarding the matter of investing in stocks, he has long considered whether it can be used as a means of cashing out.
But with a deeper understanding of the system, he feels that the possibility of realizing it through the stock market is unlikely, and the element of luck is too high.
This can be seen from his two liquidation experiences.
The first monetization experience was buying scratch-offs.
The second monetization experience is bidding for warehouses.
From these two points, we can see the characteristics of the monetization channel.
The first characteristic is that it has little influence on society.
The second feature is mainly Luke.
Let's look at the characteristics of the stock again.
Stocks are for the whole society. Luke can only be an ordinary retail investor with this amount of funds. To put it bluntly, he is a leek.
If a listed company earns one million yuan, it would be good for him to earn one hundred yuan.
If you want to realize all the 35,000 US dollars, the listed company will have to make crazy profits, and the social impact will be too great.
Concrete examples,
Luke bought the same stocks as his mother and grandpa. If they were liquidated through the stock market, the stocks he bought would definitely skyrocket, and then his mother and grandpa would be able to get rich without doing anything.
Unrealistic.
Of course, Luke himself doesn’t know much about the stock market, and this is just his personal speculation.
Maybe there are other ways to play the stock market, which can be realized.
Simply hold the mentality of trying.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Luke got up and announced, "OK, it's time for the barbecue."
Luke moved the barbecue out of the kitchen, burned charcoal, put steaks, lamb chops, seafood, and vegetables on top to grill, and sprinkled with Huaguo's secret seasoning.
Soon the smell of meat filled the yard.
Luke sniffed hard, this is right, this is the life he wants in Los Angeles.
Robert shouted, "Luke, do you know how to grill meat? It's burnt!"
…
The next morning.
Club Gun Club.
This gun club covers a large area, with indoor shooting halls and open-air shooting ranges.
Different venues, different training contents, and different prices.
Last time, the gun club that Luke and David went to was a place dedicated to the police. The distance was short and the area was small, so they could only shoot fixed targets to practice their hands, which was not interesting.
In his previous life, he was a policeman in China. Luke didn’t pay much attention to marksmanship, and he didn’t use it a few times.
But Los Angeles is different. He will use a gun almost every time he performs a mission, and he faces the risk of being shot. He feels that he has experienced these few actual combats, and his marksmanship has improved significantly.
Of course...there is still room to rise.
For the sake of safety, marksmanship still needs to be practiced, it can really save lives at critical moments.
Pistols are the first thing to practice. Although rifles are powerful and have more bullets, they are far less practical than pistols.
The pistol can be carried on the body at any time, and you can fight back immediately when encountering danger.
Having time to change rifles proves that the police are prepared to shoot more and less, but the danger is not high at this time.
So, to save your life, you have to rely on the pistol.
More importantly, Luke now has a pistol card, and he really wants to try the actual function of this card.
The fixed target was directly passed by Luke. If he wanted to hit this thing, he could hit it every day after get off work.
Come to this big gun club to shoot closer to actual combat.
Luke chose a commonly used Glock pistol.
The first shooting range is a mobile shooting range.
The distance is divided into 20 meters, 30 meters and 40 meters. When a person stands still, the target will slide past, and the speed is divided into three levels.
Luke chooses 30 meters, the lowest gear speed, holds the gun in both hands, and presses the movement switch.
Move the target by sliding from left to right.
Shoot, bang!
Missed, try to feel, it's normal.
Second shot, bang!
Try the feel again.
Grazing.
…
Luke clear sky magazine, a total of 17 shots were fired, and five shots were hit.
Luke was a little disappointed.
Maybe the distance is a bit far.
As for why he was able to hit the suspect last time, he also reflected on it.
One is that he used precision cards, which increased his hit rate.
Second, the suspect was standing still and aiming at a fixed target...
"David is right, you beat me badly..."
A man's voice came.
Luke turned his head and looked, it was Raymond.
"Such a coincidence?"
"I come every time I'm on vacation."
"Sounds like a lot, try it." Luke handed him the pistol.
Raymond took the pistol, loaded the bullet, took aim, and then put it back in the stock.
He pressed the switch to move the target, selecting the fastest gear.
This time the target moved significantly faster.
Raymond drew his gun and shot, "Bang bang bang..."
Seventeen shots were fired in a row, and seventeen shots were hit.
Luke looked dumbfounded, "It's amazing."
"The target distance is fixed, the moving speed is fixed, the person is fixed, the difficulty of shooting is not high, and it is normal to hit." Raymond returned the gun to Luke.
Luke secretly thought, isn't this a ready-made coach? Instead of groping around, it is better to learn from him.
"Raymond, your marksmanship is so good, can you teach me?"
"are you serious?"
"Of course, I am very sincere, and I will treat you to a drink tonight."
"Did Harley find it?"
Luke "…"
"Think about it, I am very strict, and you must be mentally prepared to learn how to shoot with me."
"No problem, I treat you to dinner."
"good."
Subsequently, the two started teaching mode.
Raymond explained some movement essentials in detail, and Luke learned them very seriously.
Afterwards, Raymond demonstrated another shooting action and handed the gun to Luke, "Try it."
Luke held the gun in both hands, and pressed the switch to move the target.
The target just moved.
"Bang" Raymond turned off the target again, "Are you going to shoot with both hands?"
Luke was stunned, could it be that he was still playing with one hand?
Raymond said with a stern face, "During missions, people are usually equipped with guns instead of holding guns, so every time you practice shooting, you have to start with drawing the gun.
Shooting at close range, the two sides have a high chance of hitting each other. Shooting speed is the key to survival, and drawing a gun is the first step in shooting. "
"OK." Luke put the gun in the holster, and then pressed the moving target.
Draw your gun, aim, shoot!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"What are you doing? Don't stop, the shooting speed is the guarantee of your life, speed up!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Luke speeds up his shooting speed, the recoil force is greater, the aiming difficulty is more difficult, and the accuracy rate drops significantly.
Lei Meng said, "Although the accuracy rate is not high, but the method is right, just practice like this."
Luke was not satisfied with the progress of the practice, and secretly thought that he had to practice until the year of the monkey. If he wanted to practice at Raymond's level, he would have to spend every day in the gun club.
Occasional practice is okay, but if you come to practice guns as soon as you take a break, it will be boring.
He thought of the pistol card. Based on his knowledge of the system, he guessed that this card might be related to learning marksmanship.
Just right for now.
Luke opened the system interface and subconsciously thought of using the pistol card.
Subsequently, the pistol card gave a hint, 【You can quickly learn about pistols, including but not limited to theory and actual combat.
Learning efficiency is related to the level of coaches, learners' attitudes and qualifications.
Using time limit is 5 hours. 】
With this pistol card, Luke can learn more with less effort.
Before, he watched Raymond's shooting action and did it himself, and he always felt that it was not in place.
This time, after watching it again, he felt that he had a deeper understanding, and he could shoot to a very good standard.
Shooting accuracy has also increased rapidly.
At noon, Luke invited Raymond to dinner, and he was not idle. He asked Raymond for his theoretical knowledge of marksmanship.
Rested for an hour.
Continue to practice marksmanship in the afternoon.
It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the time limit for learning pistol cards was up.
The two also decided to end today's practice.
At Raymond's request, Luke re-tested the hit rate of the moving target to see what the results were today.
Luke checks the pistol, loads it, and holsters it.
Press the move target switch.
Shoot and shoot.
"Bang bang bang..."
Luke fired continuously, nearly twice as fast as before.
The hit rate has also been greatly improved, with 17 shots and 15 hits.
Raymond was also shocked. He was good at marksmanship, and many people asked him for advice.
David and Marcus have learned from him, but no one can compare with Luke.
Luke didn't even do as well as Marcus in moving target practice this morning.
The afternoon training is over, and David's hit record has been tied.
Genius.
No, then why was the marksmanship so bad before?
Have you never practiced with a gun?
How lazy is that?
Lei Meng thought to himself, such a good seedling cannot be blind.
…
Late at night.
In a dark wilderness.
"Hoo..."
A man's heavy breathing, accompanied by the sound of a mobile phone key.
"This is the 911 emergency center."
"I want to call the police."
"Where are you?"
"I'm in a pit."
"Do you know where you are?"
"have no idea."
"Come and save me...he's coming."
"Who are you talking about? Are you hurt?"
"He's coming...he's coming..."
A dark figure stood nearby, digging soil with a shovel and filling it into the hole.
"nonono...don't do this...please..."
"Shushasha..." the sound of burial.
"Can you hear me?" answered the police officer's voice.
"Please let me go, please..." the man wailed.
Gathering together can't stop the black shadow from continuing to fill the soil.
Not long after, there was only the sound of 'rustle'.
"Crack!"
"Good, this one is over!" A voice sounded.
With a bang, the searchlights turned on.
"Pull Lucas out, quick.
Lucas, your acting is amazing.
The paragraph just now can be sealed, you will be a strong contender for this Oscar. "
A handsome man stood up from the pit, patted the dirt on his body, "Director, I want to take a shower before accepting the award."
"Haha, okay, see you at the banquet later."
