"I just hope that our run can make the earth start spinning again."
Gao Kui said something completely out of the blue; he remembered a creative advertisement that Nike had filmed, or that only existed in his imagination.
The advertisement is simple: scientists have discovered that the Earth has stopped rotating and everyone needs to run at the same time to push the Earth with their feet to start rotating again.
One scene shows the famous basketball player Kobe Bryant landing on the helipad in a helicopter. After getting off the plane, he casually pulled off his white tracksuit to reveal a vest and shorts underneath, and joined the running group.
I wonder if Angers will suddenly put his hand on his other shoulder, grab his clothes and rip them off, revealing his vest and shorts underneath, after he comes down.
Thinking about it carefully, this way of taking off clothes always feels familiar, like something out of the movie "Yakuza".
Normal people take off their clothes by unbuttoning and unzipping them one by one, while more violent people might tear them open. But characters like Kazuma Kiryu, Goro Majima, and the Yakuza from Dragon Ball all take off their clothes with a single click.
No matter how tightly the buttons are fastened, no matter if there are any other linings underneath, just put your hands on your shoulders and with a casual wave, you can tear off all your clothes, revealing a muscular body and a big floral back to start a fight.
Gao Kui then carefully glanced at Angers, who was showing off on the plane.
The old man had long arms, a wasp waist, and a tall, upright figure. He looked quite sturdy and probably had a muscular physique that would make any man drool. However, it's unlikely that he would have a large, artistic floral tattoo on his back.
Chapter 81 Once I saw the Gao King's ten thousand horses pass by.
After being drunk, I don't know that the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy.
The Ferris wheel, wrapped in neon lights, is reflected on the lake, while countless stars float and sink beneath the water. A white-painted swan-shaped pedal boat glides by, creating ripples that instantly shatter the lake into an inverted mirror.
Chu Zihang and Finger were conscripted and sat side by side on either side of the swan's neck, holding onto the handles and huffing and puffing as they pedaled the boat toward a quieter stretch of water with fewer tourists.
"Keep it up, senior brothers!"
Xia Mi sat next to Gao Kui, clenching her little fists to cheer on the two laborers: "Pedal faster! There aren't many tourists in the water behind the bridge. We can rest once we pass through the bridge arch."
Sitting on the other side of Gao Kui, Chen Motong complained, "Look at how hard you guys are pedaling, you're using every ounce of strength you have."
So why not rent an electric boat? The park has plenty of pedal boats; the hourly rate is only 40 yuan more.
"The most important thing about traveling is the experience and participation. What's the point of an electric boat? Once the engine starts, it just whirrs and goes far away on its own. It doesn't have the fun of a cruise vacation at all."
Pedal boats are great; the experience is amazing, and you can get some exercise at the same time.
Fingel wiped the sweat from his brow and began to argue.
Chu Zihang remained silent, only focusing on pedaling with his head down.
"I never expected that my first meeting with the principal would be at Zuohai Park, and you even chose such a way to make your entrance."
Gao Kui sat between two girls, leisurely chatting with Angers while holding a bowl of tricolor ice cream. As the weakest of the boys, he naturally wasn't allowed to board the ship.
"Isn't it cool? Doesn't it give you the feeling of a Hollywood blockbuster protagonist or superhero making their entrance?"
Angers sat opposite Gao Kui, with a black sharkskin briefcase on each side. He wore brown sunglasses and his gray hair was neatly combed. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing his strong and muscular collarbone and chest, making him look like an elderly playboy printed on the cover of Playboy magazine.
"It's like a 60-year-old version of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, giving me a feeling of watching Top Gun 2 and Formula 1 racing."
After a pause, Gao Kui said regretfully, "The landing wasn't quite perfect."
If it were me, I'd probably jump straight out of the helicopter, making a superhero-like entrance with one knee on one knee and one fist clenched, or I'd land standing perfectly straight with my knees completely bent to cushion the impact.
Angers' entrance was perfect: a helicopter, a suit and sunglasses, looking down on everyone with an air of superiority. His only mishap was his landing; it was too conventional, and he ended up having to contact the park management to borrow an empty lawn.
Although Angers still walked with a powerful stride as he descended from the helicopter, his landing seemed somewhat anticlimactic compared to his unconventional entrance.
Angers imagined what would have happened if he had jumped straight from the helicopter: "I was about a hundred meters above the ground. If I had jumped straight from the helicopter, I would be lying in an ambulance on my way to the hospital now with comminuted fractures of both knees."
Unless I possess the power of words like the Eye of the Wind King or the Dustless Land, which can create updrafts.
Alternatively, activate Bloodlust upon landing.
As the leader of the Secret Party and a super hybrid who has led the mixed race for a century and is famous throughout the world, Angers' physique is not weak, but it is far from reaching the level of being heaven-defying and inhuman.
"Amazing!"
Xia Mi's eyes darted back and forth across the sharkskin briefcases on either side of Angers, and she clapped and exclaimed in a monotone tone, "As expected of the principal, jumping from a height of over a hundred meters and only suffering comminuted fractures in both legs?"
A typical mixed-race person would probably be smashed to a pulp.
"Being praised by young and beautiful girls would make even an old man like me happy, as if I were still young."
Angers chuckled and teased, "I would be even happier if you could be more sincere in your tone and not stare at the briefcase next to me while you're talking."
"Principal Banzai, long live the principal! The principal is the greatest under heaven, unifying the martial world for eternity..."
Xia Mi raised her arms and shouted with great enthusiasm, as enthusiastic as the Xingxiu Sect disciple in the Huang Rihua version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" who was praising the Xingxiu Immortal. Then she looked pitifully at the two suitcases, her eyes blinking.
"So, what exactly is in those two briefcases the principal brought? Could it be some top-secret files?"
“It’s a gift,” Angers revealed the answer.
"Yay!" Xia Mi jumped up.
“It’s for Gao Kui alone.” Angers revealed the remaining part of the mystery.
"Oh no." Xia Mi sat back down.
Angers gazed at Xia Mi with a smile, his eyes full of doting affection, like a kind old man who dotes on his granddaughter.
After Xia Mi calmed down, Angers looked at Gao Kui again and said, "Regarding your matter of retrieving the documents, I have carefully reviewed all the reports, documents, and videos. Gao Kui, you did a great job, very much in the style of Kassel."
"You've already grasped the essence of how executive department specialists carry out missions before even officially enrolling; you were practically born for Kassel..."
Angers showered Gao Kui with praise, regardless of how foolish and reckless Gao Kui's decision might seem to others; the point was simply to praise him.
Chen Motong rolled her eyes wildly.
Is firing a gun in a busy downtown area in broad daylight, without any regard for the privacy and seclusion principles of mixed-race individuals, really something to be praised for?
If everyone acted like Gao Kui, the whole world would know about the dragon race and the hybrid race within a month.
Even Gao Kui, after being showered with Angers's flowery praise, scratched his head sheepishly: "I don't think I did a good enough job. I failed to keep the thief who stole the documents alive."
The thief who stole the documents was difficult to deal with.
Gao Kui had this intuition that the guy might be even more difficult to deal with than the Heroic Spirits in the Nibelungen, even though he had never actually fought him.
"Therefore, I have prepared a few special gifts to address your current shortcomings and weaknesses."
Angers smiled, took the briefcase on his left, opened it, and showed it to Gao Kui.
"This is!"
Gao Kui's pupils suddenly contracted as he stared at the items in the suitcase, his body trembling slightly and his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.
Inside the suitcase lay a pair of black and white M1911 pistols, each with a wooden grip of different shades, decorated with a relief portrait of Emperor Gao Huan of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
One side of the black and white pistols is engraved with the unique signatures of Ebony & and Ivory, while the other side is engraved with "For Messiah·Gold" and "Only now is there a clear moon, which once shone on the passing of ten thousand horses of the High King".
The former is the English name given to Gao Kui by Angers, while the latter is a line from "Passing by Ye to Mourn Gao Huan," written by the Qing poet Yuan Mei after paying homage to Emperor Shenwu of Northern Qi.
Chapter 82 The Master of Skills
Gao Kui took out the black and white pistols from the briefcase, held them in his hands, and examined them closely with a fanatical and delighted look in his eyes. They were simply a pair of works of art.
Without needing to say more, Gao Kui knew that the names of these two large-caliber pistols must be "Ebony" and "White Ivory".
The design and details of these guns perfectly replicate the pistols worn by Dante, the protagonist of Capcom's game "Devil May Cry," but some details have been modified and customized by Gao Kui.
The relief portrait on the original pair of pistols appears to be that of Queen Victoria, not Emperor Gao Huan. The inscriptions carved on them also bear Dante's old name and the name of the maker's shop.
"Guderian told me that you seem to really like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, those two action games. I've been thinking for a long time about giving you a gift that you'd absolutely love."
Actually, Angers thinks it's quite absurd that Gao Kui likes these two games. Dante, the protagonist of Devil May Cry, is a demon, and Bayonetta, the protagonist of Bayonetta, is a witch, while the villains are angels.
However, since Gao Kui, as the Holy Son, had no objections, Angers could only respect Gao Kui's preferences and choices.
“I also like Final Fantasy, specifically the Xth installment,” Gao Kui added.
Angers feels even more hellish. If I remember correctly, in the tenth Final Fantasy, the villains were the Church.
Leaving aside Gao Kui's somewhat hilariously absurd personal hobbies, Angers meticulously introduced the pair of pistols to Gao Kui: "Most of the parts of these pistols are made of a special high-strength alloy developed by the Kassel Equipment Department, with a production tolerance of less than 0.00015 millimeters, making them ten times more precise than standard firearms on the market."
Its prototype, the M1911 pistol, is also known worldwide for its high lethality, reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance.
These pistols can be loaded with and fire most .0.45 ACP caliber bullets on the market, as well as bullets specially made by the equipment department. They have an effective range of 100 meters, and the bullet penetration attenuation will not exceed 5% within 100 meters.
the most important is……"
Angers paused briefly, whetting Gao Kui's appetite, before continuing to explain: "The various parts of these pistols also have alchemical runes engraved by the vice principal. The different runes together form two miniature alchemical matrices that can faithfully recreate the special effects of Dante's dual pistols in Devil May Cry."
By inputting mental energy when firing, similar to using a spell, one can freely activate one of the two alchemical matrices, further enhancing the bullet's armor-piercing ability or rate of fire.
"Pushing the alchemical matrix to its limit, the armor-piercing bullets fired can even penetrate the scales of third-generation species."
A third generation!?
Chen Motong was speechless.
Dragons of the third generation and those below the third generation can be considered two separate species. While dragons below the third generation are still pure-blooded, their bloodlines will show a certain degree of degradation.
Theoretically speaking, even a fourth or fifth generation true dragon in its prime might not be able to defeat a fully armed elite hybrid, and there is not much difference between them.
However, the vast majority of third-generation hybrids are superior to regular hybrids. Only super hybrids that surpass regular hybrids, such as Angers, have a chance to successfully defeat a third-generation hybrid in its prime.
A bullet fired from a pistol can pierce the scales of a third-generation species, making it a fine alchemical weapon.
"Principal, you're not bluffing, are you?" Chen Motong asked, still somewhat doubtful.
"of course not."
Angers confidently declared, "These pistols are exquisite alchemical weapons crafted with the help of that old bastard Flamel."
In fact, Angers wasn't talking nonsense, or at least not entirely. How much of Gao Kui's power could be effectively utilized was an unknown quantity; even Angers' collaborators couldn't control Gao Kui's power within a stable range.
In addition, given Gao Kui's unstable mental and psychological state, Angers naturally wouldn't mess around and give Gao Kui a complete fake.
These pistols were indeed exquisite alchemical weapons crafted with the help of the legendary alchemist, Vice Principal Flamel; however, Angers deliberately omitted some of their flaws and details during the presentation.
For example, if you want to fire an armor-piercing enchanted bullet that can penetrate the scales of a third-generation species, you need to inject a massive amount of mental energy, which is comparable to using two high-risk incantations.
Alternatively, after firing the most powerful enchanted bullets, the barrel might overheat, causing a significant drop in stability and accuracy for up to half an hour...
There are other flaws like these. After all, these are just a pair of pistols, and even with the vice principal's involvement, it is no easy feat to forge a pair of portable firearms to this extent.
In the hands of an ordinary hybrid, these pistols would be nothing more than flashy, impractical "disposable" weapons, only suitable for strategic use. Only in Gao Kui's hands could they become deadly weapons for slaying dragons.
Gao Kui raised his hands with great interest: "So, which pistol can penetrate armor, and which pistol can fire rapidly?"
