Chapter 165: The Power of the World

"Emergency situation!

It seems to be a transport convoy that crossed the northern border about three hours ago. If our intelligence is correct, those crates contain Mil Mi-24 Hind D attack helicopters.

(The Mil Mi-24 is a Soviet-Russian large twin-engine single-rotor medium multi-role assault helicopter, and the first dedicated gunship of the Soviet Union.)

There are 15 of these helicopters, disassembled into major components and packed into these containers along with spare parts. Judging by the timing, someone must have learned of our previous successful transaction and wants to muscle in for a cut.

While this kind of problem is not uncommon, the real issue is that this intelligence came straight from headquarters. There's a good chance our pay is going to take a massive hit.

Waaah, Li! Our salaries are going to be docked! What should we do? Waaah!"

"Just deal with them the usual way."

"Bang! Operation starts now. Stopping the opponent's goods from entering might turn into a tough negotiation involving the elimination of obstacles. Everyone, stay sharp!"

"Roger~~!"

Looking at the people gathered before him, as well as Li Hongshen, who still had his eyes closed,

"Sigh, whatever. Decide on your own ways to wake up."

"Valmet, you and Tojo form a group and go negotiate with the commander of the national defense ministry.

Ration, Li, Ugo, Lutz, and Mao, gear up fully and provide me with direct support. Wyall and R, stay here and process the intelligence between me and the upper management.

Jonas, you're with me!

Let's move out."

…………

Inside the bulletproof vehicle, Li Hongshen sat with his eyes closed as usual, deeply immersed in the framework of laws.

"Li, Koko didn't take you with her this time. Aren't you worried?"

"Lutz, since when did you become so gossipy? It seems I need to give you some intensive training during our next mountain exercise."

"No, no need! I just meant—aren't you worried about the Boss's safety? That's not what you're thinking."

"Hmph, hmph."

"Oh ho, impressive."

"What is it?" Ugo asked the people inside the cabin while driving. "It's an elimination order."

"Ooh, it's been a while. Our boss really does things quite radically sometimes."

"Let me take this one. I haven't been active in a while."

With that, Li Hongshen opened his eyes, drew two black SOCOM MK23 pistols from his waist, and silently began attaching the silencers to the barrels.

"Hey, hey, seriously? Didn't you already have some action yesterday?"

"Yesterday was just firing a few shots. Can you even call that action? It was barely target practice.

Lutz, you and Ugo head up to the roof and set up your rifles. If you see that guy make any move against Koko, shoot him immediately.

Don't worry, Ration, Mao, and I will clear out the guards quickly. There's no need to worry."

…………

Li Hongshen looked at the two residential buildings in front of him and the tall building across the street, scanning the rooms here with his spiritual power.

"I'm heading up first. Do as you like."

Watching Li Hongshen excitedly enter the building, the remaining few lacked enthusiasm.

"I bet he won't leave a single one for us."

"Isn't that normal? Besides, has he been provoked or something? He's never been this proactive before.

Unless it's a dangerous situation, he usually can't muster up any interest. He's never been this excited even for past elimination orders."

"Alright, Lutz, stop gossiping and let's go in. You still need to set up your rifle upstairs. Don't forget Li's arrangements."

"Yeah, yeah. Seriously, everyone just knows how to boss others around."

Instead of taking the elevator after entering the building, Li Hongshen went straight into the fire escape, scaling several floors with a few swift leaps.

Reaching the first target room, he kicked the door open with a single shot, followed by a rapid series of point-blank shots to clear the room entirely, then quietly shut the door. The whole process took less than 10 seconds.

Taking advantage of the gap while the enemies were confirming identities via radio, Li Hongshen leaped directly from the roof of this building to the roof of the building across the street, rushing to the second target room. He kicked the door open in the same fashion, then swiftly hurled the throwing knives he carried with him, each blade striking home and sealing the enemies' throats.

By the time all targets were cleared, the elevator doors in the hallway slowly opened. Ration and Mao showed no surprise at seeing Li Hongshen waiting by the elevator entrance.

Li Hongshen squeezed into the elevator and pressed the button for the first-floor lobby.

"Done. You guys are late. I'm going across to pick up Koko. Do whatever you want."

"Oh~"

Emerging from the building, Li Hongshen headed straight for the opposite skyscraper. Watching him sprint off, Mao remained silent for a moment before turning to Ration.

"Do you think... he's in a rush?"

Ration pulled a cigarette out of his pants pocket and clamped it between his lips.

"Click. *Puff*—

Heh, who knows."

Entering the skyscraper and sensing the active power of the world, Li Hongshen arrived at the target room.

Without any hesitation, he pushed the door open. Seeing a smiling Koko, a poker-faced Jonas, and a fuming extra standing before them, he strode right up to the mob character.

"Bang."

The power of the world rapidly fed back into Li Hongshen, who immediately channeled it straight into his occupation template. Under the empowerment of the world's power, numerous firearms combat techniques flooded into his mind, pushing the class rank of the gunman up by a significant margin.

"Taken care of. Koko, are you alright?"

"It's over, it's over. Let's head back.

Hey, Li, were you worried about me?"

"Not at all. I just came over to pick something up."

"Then what did you come to pick up? Did you get it?"

"Yeah, got it."

"Mm, hahaha! Jonas, let's go, time to head back!"

Back at the temporary base, Li Hongshen sat on the sofa, reviewing his own world power and experiencing the various shooting techniques within his occupation template while waving his arms in mid-air.

"Bullets that can bend?"

Li Hongshen opened his eyes. While rapidly mastering these shooting techniques, he also sensed a feeling of repulsion from the world.

"I won't be able to stay much longer. But after all these years, suppressing my own strength isn't that easy anymore; I'm about to break through the restriction.

I might as well drag it out a bit longer. Who knows, maybe I can cause a massive uproar before leaving."

Stepping out of his room, Li Hongshen saw Jonas cooking. He was making fried eggs, but looking at the broken eggshells scattered in the carton, the crude way he tossed salt, and the various spices laid out nearby filled Li Hongshen with a sense of impending doom.

And the result was precisely that. After eating this initiation ritual dish made by Jonas, Li Hongshen was suddenly struck with the urge to return home. He missed the food of the prime world.

I'll probably finish this transmigration arc in a few more chapters. Personally, my transmigration experience hasn't been great; I've realized that doing secondary fan fiction is not as comfortable as creating original work... How annoying.
