Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Chapter 262 Adjusting Parameters

"Huang Zi." The blond-haired man stopped moving, and everyone turned around.

A man wearing a baseball cap was slowly walking towards them; it was Brother Qiang.

He glanced at Han Che and said to the blond-haired man, "Don't cause trouble before we go inside."

Huang Mao gritted his teeth, but finally held back, "I understand, Brother Qiang."

After saying that, he glared fiercely at Han Che, then turned and left.

Before leaving, the skinny monkey gave a sinister smile, "Let's talk again when we get to the pictures."

After the group left, Xiaobai gently tugged at Han Che's sleeve. "Back then, some of them were the ones who came to the club to cause trouble and injured Lao Zhou."

"I understand..." Han Che replied softly.

Xiao Bai was worried that the two of them alone might not be able to manage.

Boss Zhao stood with his arms crossed, quietly watching the scene unfold. Only after everyone had left did he speak, "It seems your troubles are indeed bigger than I imagined."

Han Che snorted coldly, "They're nothing but rotten fish and shrimp, not worth worrying about."

Boss Zhao chuckled lightly, "It's good that young people have guts, but these people are probably not so easy to deal with. Don't underestimate them."

Han Che turned to look at Boss Zhao, understanding the implication in his words. "Boss Zhao knows these people?"

"We don't really know each other, we've just met once," Boss Zhao explained, shaking his head. "They're from the Clown Gang."

"The Joker Gang?" Xiaobai muttered, frowning. She'd heard the name before, and had a very bad impression of it. "Isn't that an American club?"

Boss Zhao nodded. "Boss Xiaobai is very knowledgeable. That's right, the Joker Gang is indeed an American club."

"To be precise, it's a gang of outlaws disguised as a club," Boss Zhao said casually. "Many of its members are foreign players, and they have a terrible reputation in the community."

Xiao Bai immediately understood, "Foreigner..."

"Yes." Boss Zhao nodded. "That's right. Since Boss Xiaobai has heard of the Clown Gang, he should be familiar with their modus operandi, right?"

"I've only heard rumors that their way of doing things is very underhanded, but I don't know the specifics."

"Unfit for public display? Hahahaha." Boss Zhao laughed out loud, then waved his hand, "Sorry, sorry, I lost my composure. It's just that this word is too inappropriate for them."

"They're different from ordinary escort clubs. These guys don't make money by taking on jobs; they do all sorts of dirty work. Let me give you an example of one they've done, and you'll understand."

Boss Zhao paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts.

"Back in the US, a boss offended them, and they later kidnapped him—in the real world."

Boss Zhao continued, "They didn't kill the person directly, but instead brought him in every time a dangerous area opened."

"Intentional torture".

"Break his leg, deliberately withhold the medication, and intentionally make the NPC chase after him."

"Once that person is killed and resurrected in reality, we'll take him back and lock him up again."

"Repeatedly"

"Later, they had their fun," Boss Zhao said calmly. "The last time, they didn't bring the person out; he got lost in the map."

Xiao Bai got goosebumps on her arms from listening. Although she knew the Clown Gang wasn't a good thing, she didn't expect them to be this crazy.

Boss Zhao sighed softly. "This matter later caused a huge uproar, but because many members of the Joker gang were from various countries and regions, and their whereabouts were scattered, they all fled the United States, so in the end, it was never completely resolved."

"So now many people avoid them when they see them."

"Given the size of your 78 Club, you shouldn't be targeted by the Clown Gang from a foreign land. You probably offended someone and were specifically hired to retaliate against you."

Boss Zhao analyzed, "I don't know them very well either. I just recognized the guy called Brother Qiang, but he can't provide many useful clues."

Xiao Bai waved his hands repeatedly, "Boss Zhao, you're too kind. We're already very grateful for the information you provided!"

"So, are we continuing today? It's not that I absolutely need your protection today; I just realized that the trouble you're facing is quite significant."

Xiao Bai hesitated at this moment. Although he came today according to Han Che's plan, he was unsure of himself because the other party was such a desperate person. He looked at Han Che.

Han Che seemed not to have heard their conversation at all, staring blankly at an open space in front of him, as if his eyes were not focused.

"Han Che? Han Che!" Xiao Bai called out twice and patted his shoulder before Han Che came to his senses. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"What are you spacing out for! I said, how about we call it a day?"

Han Che frowned. "What's there to calculate? We're already this far, just relax and fight!"

Xiao Bai wanted to say something more, but seeing that Han Che didn't continue, she had no choice but to give up.

Boss Zhao looked at Han Che and chuckled, "Then let's fight. The basic security in the country is still pretty good. We should just be more careful."

Xiao Bai nodded, and could only pray that everything would go smoothly.

After Han Che finished speaking, he fell silent again, returning to his previous blank and dazed state.

"System, none of the abilities I just mentioned, like increasing strength and speed, are working?" Han Che asked the system in his mind.

[Host, you do not have permission at this time. Please use your identity item to unlock permissions.]

"An identity item? What's that?"

You currently have two identity items; using them will grant you the corresponding enhancement permissions.

Han Che thought of those two badges again, which he suspected were essentially brain-computer interfaces.

But Han Che always felt that wearing a brain-computer interface was not a good thing, and an extremely strong rebellious mentality arose spontaneously. He wanted to see what would happen if he didn't wear it!

"Okay, I don't want the upgrades anymore, can't I just buy some weapons?"

"Give me a fully equipped Giant Wave, and an AWM!"

Han Che stretched his limbs, eager to do something big like he had done in his previous life as an escort.

The AS Val assault rifle is available for purchase, but modification options require separate purchase by the host. The AWM is not available for purchase.

[There is an AWM sniper rifle in the host's storage space. Do you want to retrieve it?]

Han Che then remembered that he had captured an AWM from John's team before, but after thinking about it, he realized that there seemed to be only one AWM in this world so far, and it would be too conspicuous to use it, so he decided to pass.

"Then I'll just have to make do with an M700," Han Che thought to himself.

The system then automatically presented a modification panel in front of Han Che, allowing him to modify the parts he focused on simply by looking at them.

As the opening time of Dam Zero drew closer, Xiaobai grew increasingly anxious, waiting for the dam to open.

Her "reassurance" stood next to her, his eyes vacant as he made faces at the air, sometimes even his eyes darting around wildly as if he were having a seizure.

"Uh, Mr. Han, has it always been like this?" Boss Zhao looked at Han Che with a somewhat complicated expression and asked Xiao Bai in a low voice.

"Hahahaha..." Xiaobai laughed awkwardly. You're asking me? Who should I ask? But she still explained, "Han Che is clearing his mind right now, preparing for the battle later."

"It's like when you play a game for a long time, you need to clear the game memory so that your reaction time in battle will be faster, you know!" Xiaobai didn't know how to explain, so he could only make it up.

"Oh, that's amazing..." Boss Zhao nodded with a complicated expression.
