Killer: I Start By Killing A Fly With A Poker Card - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: The System Reappears

The exaggerated number left Shi Yu a little stunned. This was too expensive. But when he turned his head, he realized that he could already achieve this level of achievement with just a flying card skill.

His account balance told him that the sum of his previous missions added up to only around 30 million.

The only thing in front of him that he could level up was the dagger. But it was then that he thought of William and decided to give him a call.

William’s sleepy eyes popped open when he looked at his boss calling him. He hurriedly picked it up.

“What are your orders, sir?”

Hearing William’s respectful words, Shi Yu felt a little embarrassed. As William’s incognito boss, he did not care about anything after leaving everything to him, so it was not easy for him to speak now.

“William, are you free now? Come to my house. I just came back today.”

William was stunned for a moment, then said, “Please wait for a moment. I’ll come right away.”

After hanging up the phone, William hurriedly got up to put on his clothes. His wife saw William’s hurried look and got up to help him tidy up. “The boss is back. He asked me to go over now,” William informed his wife.

His wife nodded. Her husband was doing it for work, after all, so it was understandable.

Seeing his virtuous wife, William gently kissed her forehead. He then drove out of the house.

The sound of the door closing was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. Shi Yu, who was sitting in the living room, knew that William had arrived. He got up and opened the door for him. Seeing that William had just raised his hand to knock on the door, he leaned over to let him in.

After closing the door and seeing that William was standing at the side, Shi Yu nodded and motioned for William to sit down.

“Sir, what can I do for you?”

With William taking the initiative to ask, Shi Yu rubbed his hands bashfully.

“Well, William, how much money can our company operate with now?”

William was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the boss was short of money. He straightened himself and said to Shi Yu, “Boss, we have recently participated in a few biddings. We are expected to participate in a ground breaking of a large shopping mall and entertainment place in this city.”

“Now, the company’s operating capital is only more than 40 million.”

When he thought about how he still had 30 million in his hands and could get another 30 million from William, it was just enough to improve one’s fighting skills. He wanted to improve his fighting skills and dagger skills. If the two were combined, he would definitely be in the top 50 on the list of assassins.

Of course, William did not know these things that Shi Yu was thinking about. He only saw Shi Yu shake his head. Believing that Shi Yu was dissatisfied with his work, he quickly said, “Sir, it’s because I just took over the job and am not familiar with it. Please give me more time.”

Shi Yu was stunned when she heard that and immediately understood William’s meaning.

“Hahaha! William, I did not say that your work is not good. On the contrary, you are doing very well. It’s just that I need a lot of funds recently. You can transfer 30 million into my account.”

Hearing Shi Yu’s words, William quickly took out his phone and dialed the finance department. After explaining the situation, he hung up the phone.

Not long after that, Shi Yu saw the message of 30 million on his phone. He couldn’t help but sigh at the sight. He had been licking his wounds with 30 million, but William transferred so much money with just one call.

“Mr. Shi Yu, is there anything else you need?” William asked.

Shi Yu waved his hand.

“Then I’ll leave first. Call me if you need anything,” William replied courteously.

After sending William away, Shi Yu’s eyes were filled with joy. He thought to himself, “System, I need to upgrade.”

[Ding!]

[Upgradable weapon—dagger: 20 million yuan]

[Upgradable weapon—firearm: 50 million yuan]

[Combat upgrade: 60 million—skill upgrade.]

[Body quality able to be upgraded—100 million yuan.]

[Let’s move on to combat.]

[Combat upgrade—skill upgrade: 60 million yuan will be deducted from your account balance.]

[Are you sure?]

Shi Yu gritted his teeth. “OK!”

[Ding!]

[Upgraded combat—improved skills.]

Shi Yu would be delighted to feel the changes in his body. He had waited for a long time, but his body had not changed, and he had thought that his upgrade had to do with fighting and not a physical quality.

Looking at the time, it was already morning. He got up and drove to the nearest boxing gym, wanting to test out his fighting skills.

For half a year’s membership, he was actually charged 5,000 yuan. He was, after all, a person who had just spent 60 million yuan. Nonetheless, this 5,000 yuan made him feel a little pained.

After registering for membership, Shi Yu looked at the entire boxing gym. The first thing he saw when he entered was a large four-corner ring. There were some people training on it. He looked to the left and saw a small six-corner cage with a sandbag in the middle.

On the right was a row of treadmills. Further in was some fitness equipment. When he walked into the bathroom, he saw the bathroom and the changing room. Shi Yu nodded. The environment here was not bad. Apparently, the five thousand yuan he paid was not for nothing.

With that in mind, Shi Yu went to the bathroom and took off his clothes. He looked at himself in the mirror—his black and straight hair, his slanted straight eyebrows, his long and narrow eyes that were sharp and black, his slightly pursed lips, and clear outline. His tall and slender body, which was not rough, was in a daze for a moment.

Shi Yu, who had changed into a tank top and shorts, wrapped his hand with a bandage after a simple warm-up.

He wrapped the boxing bandage around his thumb through the rope. It was then wrapped around his wrist once or twice and then around the thumb joint of his palm once.

Once again, he wrapped the boxing bandage around the back of his hand, then to the palm, before going around his knuckles one or two times.

Then, he wrapped around his wrist diagonally, and then between his index and middle fingers. The boxing bandage wrapped around his wrist diagonally and then between his pinky and ring fingers.

He then wrapped it around his knuckles one or two times, and then wrapped it around the back of his hand, back to his wrist, diagonally around the palm of his hand, and then went back to the other side his wrist. The remaining boxing bandage continued to wrap around his wrist until it was buckled with nylon.

Although he had not fought for a long time, Shi Yu still remembered these basic wrapping techniques.

Boxing bandages could protect the wrist and the joints of the hand. There were many bones in a person’s hand. A boxing bandage could protect the bones in hand and prevent them from deforming.

The ligaments on the hand joints were soft and needed to be protected by the bandages, or they would swell and even collapse during boxing.

After testing the feeling, Shi Yu walked out of the locker room and found a sandbag. Standing in front of it, Shi Yu held the sandbag with both hands and closed his eyes as if he recalled something.

Then, he opened his eyes. There was only coldness left in them as if he had returned to the time when he killed without batting an eyelid. After getting into a good position, Shi Yu began to punch the sandbag one after another.

His fists, elbows, knees, and feet seemed to become weapons, each blow marking a dent in the sandbag..
