American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Robert was stunned, in a daze, when he suddenly heard the sound of mosquitoes buzzing in his ear. He slapped at it instinctively, hearing a '啪' sound, and the scroll in his sight shattered instantly.

A line of text popped up below.

[Newbie Guide Task Complete!]

[Reward: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.]

Before Robert could understand what was happening, his vision blurred, and he was once again dizzily drawn into a vortex.

An unusual chakra emanated from the ring, solidifying into a Sharingan above Robert's head.

An eerie red light enveloped the little boy, his thoughts racing, and a memory appeared out of nowhere, deeply embedding itself in his mind.

In his memory, he suddenly appeared in a deep mountain forest, diligently training by waterfalls and cliffs for a year. A kind old man with a beard amiably taught him the basics of chakra and stayed with him for the entire year.

Robert also gradually transitioned from initial panic, unease, and disbelief to accepting it with peace of mind.

He completely believed that this memory, which appeared out of thin air, was something he had truly experienced.

Over the year, he not only fully mastered the basic knowledge of chakra and learned the Great Fireball Technique, but also completely mastered the chakra ring, able to mobilize chakra at the peak level of a genin.

All of this happened in less than a second.

Robert felt that every cell in his body was cheering, frantically absorbing the nourishment of the chakra like parched land meeting rain.

The bones throughout his body were cracking, and his muscles and skin were evolving from the inside out.

A slight stinging sensation attacked his mind, giving him a sense of familiarity.

He vaguely seemed to recall the days of training before the waterfall. By the time he came back to his senses, his physical fitness had undergone earth-shattering changes.

His vision seemed to have been unveiled, with the clarity and color saturation increasing by more than one level, as if a spotlight had been deliberately shone on him by a lighting technician.

His hearing became more acute. Not only could he hear the sound of the laptop running, but he could also hear his parents talking softly through the thick floorboards, and the sparse chirping of insects outside the room.

He could hear the wind, the rustling of leaves, the sound of water flowing through the pipes, and the sound of cars passing two blocks away.

Robert suddenly felt like he had just opened his eyes, as if he had come to a brand new world, where everything was so fresh.

He twitched his nose slightly and suddenly smelled a hint of gunpowder.

He seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly walked to the window, and leaned out to look. Sure enough, the smell of gunpowder was even stronger, and it was coming from the sealed-off residential area.

Just then, the lower right corner of his retina flickered slightly, and a scroll automatically popped out, with several lines of text appearing in sequence.

[Mission Triggered]

[Eliminate the Rat-Man]

[Description: The neighboring residential area has been sealed off for three weeks. The gunshots that are heard every day have seriously affected Mom and Dad's normal routine. Everyone is worried about whether it will affect their lives.

As a trainee hero, a transcendent warrior, I will first solve my parents' worries.]

[Task: Sneak into the sealed area and eliminate the rat that transformed into a monster because it couldn't get chicken wings to eat and went insane.]

[Reward: Obtain a higher-level Fire-type scroll.]

Robert's eyes lit up. He waved his hand gently, and the scroll in front of him automatically retracted, shrinking and hiding in the lower right corner of his vision.

He hesitated slightly, then made up his mind.

He spread his legs apart and gently formed a hand seal.

"Clone Technique!"

A puff of white smoke burst out of thin air, and another Robert appeared before his eyes.

Robert carefully observed him, then nodded, pushed open the window, and jumped out like a large bird.

The original Robert naturally sat in front of the laptop, seriously browsing the forum.

In the memories that had been instilled in him, this forum had become a center for transcendent individuals to exchange cases.

He had to re-establish a section to create a place for these transcendent individuals to communicate with each other.

At this time, his mother's voice came: "Robert, come down and eat fruit!"

The clone responded and walked down from the attic with the laptop.

Meanwhile, Robert's main body, using the movements of a ninja, was constantly jumping on the landscaping trees and rooftops, quickly approaching the sealed area.

Saying that the military was stationed there, it was just that thick walls had been erected to surround the community.

The number of stationed troops did not exceed 100 people, and military tents were connected together, blocking the main entrance.

On the cleared, wide roads around the perimeter, armored vehicles occasionally patrolled.

However, the current state had lasted for nearly a month, and the soldiers knew that there would not be too much danger.

Moreover, they were mainly guarding against the things inside from coming out, rather than guarding against people from the outside.

Therefore, the vast majority of surveillance equipment was aimed at the inside of the community, especially underground.

The commander of this troop was the major who came out of the Ninth Bureau. His confident promises were still ringing in his ears, but he never expected to be trapped here after arriving.

The armed forces he brought were very strong, and various firepower facilities could easily destroy a town.

But this was, after all, a city, even if it was a suburb. It was impossible to launch a war-level firepower attack for the sake of a rat.

The military was still haggling with the Philadelphia Council, discussing compensation matters.

The police were watching, and the FBI was watching the excitement. This case should have been taken over by them, but it was snatched away by the Ninth Bureau halfway.

Now that such a mess had been created, they couldn't wait to watch a good show.

People from the Department of Homeland Security had come once, simply understood the situation, and then quickly disappeared.

Recently, various bizarre situations had emerged one after another. The Department of Homeland Security was not an intelligence agency, but it had been paying attention to this area.

They originally thought that the Ninth Bureau, which was highly regarded by the President, would be able to turn the tide and quickly find a solution.

But they didn't expect that after dragging on for a month, there was still no progress.

In fact, Simmons was also suffering in his heart.

He had repeatedly requested assistance from Optimus Prime, but Optimus Prime was not interested in the so-called monsters.

He and all the Autobots under his command were only thinking about how to destroy the Decepticons. They had no interest in another kind of creature that had emerged for no reason.

In their opinion, monsters were also a kind of Earth creature. They didn't kill humans, and they didn't kill monsters either.

Once this reason was given, not only Simmons, but the entire Ninth Bureau was speechless.

So this matter has not been resolved until now.
