Chapter 106 Chapter 106 Beware of Human-to-Human Transmission
Benjamin slept until noon, then struggled out of bed amid the protests of his empty stomach.
He thought he was going to move downstairs to the kitchen to eat instant noodles, but when he turned around, he found a thermos and a piece of chocolate on the bedside table.
The aroma of strawberry milk tea wafted out of the thermos. Benjamin broke off a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth. He took a sip of the hot milk tea and sighed with happiness.
The strawberry chocolate milk tea is really delicious.
It is a great happiness to have something warm to eat after waking up from a good sleep. After a cup of milk tea and a bar of chocolate, the hero BEN 10 is resurrected!
Benjamin stretched, picked up the clothes and uniforms scattered on the floor, took his empty lunch box and thermos, and went downstairs.
In Benjamin's expectation, since Li Hua and Jason had woken up, the ice ghost cubs should have been brought back as well.
But when he reached the stairs, he didn't hear the children's cute "squeaks." Instead, Jason said, "You're mistaken. This isn't an AK.47, it's an AKM. This is the second time you've mistaken these two models, Li Hua. Think carefully about the difference between the two guns you just saw in the photos."
"Hiss—" Li Hua scratched his head as he looked at the photos of rifles that looked identical in color and shape, feeling puzzled. "They... look bigger in one picture?"
"You're right."
Mr. Jason Todd, who was acting as a guest tutor, pulled out pictures of two guns from his tablet, placed them side by side, pointed at them and explained to Li Hua.
"The AKM is an upgraded version of the AK4.7, so it's shorter and lighter, making it easier to carry and use. They also have a feature on the muzzle... see this? This little device suppresses muzzle bounce and improves dispersion during continuous fire... Don't worry if you can't remember it, it's just some additional information."
"You only need to know two things: First, this thing is easier to pull out of your pants than an AK4.7. And unlike the AK4.7, the bolt carrier often bounces back slightly two or three times after it is locked and returned to its original position... What is a bolt carrier? That's not important. Just remember that this thing doesn't misfire easily.
"Secondly, this thing has an effective range of 300 to 400 meters, and the magazine holds 30 rounds. So if you encounter this kind of gun, remember that after 30 rounds, it's time to reload. If you want to do something, count the number of times the bullets are fired, and then take advantage of this gap to do it."
"Very good, you've learned how to identify the AK4.7 and AKM rifles. Next, let's learn how to identify anti-material rifles. You were hit by one this time. To avoid repeating the same mistake, you'd better memorize this information. Let's start with the most famous and simplest one. What do you think this is?"
Li Hua covered his head and said, "I can't tell the difference... I really can't tell the difference..."
Jason encouraged him, "Take a guess. This one is very common. You must have seen it or heard of it."
My hometown has a gun ban! Where can I meet him?
Li Hua wailed in his heart, but Jason was teaching him so hard, he couldn't give up too early. He had to give an answer and respect the fruits of Jason's labor.
So, Li Hua searched his brain for the names of firearms, like a student in class who wasn't called upon by the teacher to answer a question. He said, "It's not a Smith & Wesson M1917."
Jason: “…”
Benjamin: “…”
I see, Li Hua, you really don’t know.
Jason: "That's true, because the M1917 Smith & Wesson is a revolver... But you remember this antique that's no longer very popular on the market. Why don't you remember the one I have in my hand?"
Li Hua touched the back of his head awkwardly. "When I was a middle school student, I had a slight interest in Russian roulette, so I did a quick search for revolvers, and this one just popped up. Since it had an easy-to-remember name..."
Jason heard the noise at the stairs and held up the tablet to show Benjamin as he came down. He asked, "Ben, do you recognize this?"
If Benjamin couldn't answer it, he would drag the two of them into intensive tutoring today. If they couldn't learn the gun models, none of them would be allowed to go out for night patrol.
If someone doesn't recognize a gun while walking amidst the hail of bullets, then I can only go out for patrol at noon, because I have to go out sooner or later.
Benjamin: "Barrett. It's a very common model in movies."
Jason looked at Li Hua silently, silence was more effective than words at this moment.
Look, Benjamin, who has dealt with alien technology, knows this, so how could you...
Li Huahui answered this question without a word: "Dude, this thing is a local cultural feature of your area. You won't find random people wearing this thing in the alleys of my hometown buying for free. You can't expect a high school student like me who grew up in a gun-banning country to identify gun models at a glance. It's not a necessary survival skill like cooking food or sewing clothes."
Jason laughed. "Guess what? Here, this is actually a necessary survival skill."
"What?" Benjamin said in horror, "Has the school shooting in Gotham developed to the point where a Barrett is needed? This is absolutely insane!"
Jason: “…”
Jason: "Actually, I'm referring to the wound on Li Hua's right arm."
Benjamin: “…”
Benjamin: “Oh.”
Li Hua spread his hands and said, "See, I told you this is a regional cultural feature that's only popular here."
"I just read the news here! I can't help but think about the children's future schooling, so I did a little research... Bellwood is a relatively remote area, generally speaking it's very peaceful, so there's no such thing as a trend, and we have regular active shooter drills."
Benjamin tries to clear his hometown's name.
"It's more likely to encounter attacks from evil aliens. Occasionally, you'll encounter a particularly evil alien monster that wants to destroy an area... but it's really rare. I only encountered it a few times during my summer vacation."
Li Hua and Jason both fell silent.
Li Hua: What is an active shooter drill?
Jason: Is there something wrong with your definition of "rare"?
During the discussion with his good brother, Li Hua clearly realized his mistake.
He was wrong. He was wrong to discuss safety issues with the young superhero. The three of them had completely different understandings of "safety" and "essential survival skills."
Benjamin knew his explanation was in vain when he saw the subtle expressions on the two people's faces. This kind of regional cultural characteristics leading to cognitive differences among the three people and the subsequent wonderful conversations had happened many times before.
So he changed the subject as usual: "Speaking of which, I just had a really magical dream..."
Li Hua: "Dreamt about Azmis coming to patch the Omnitrix?"
"Yeah, how come... that wasn't a dream, was it?" Benjamin looked down at the Omnitrix on his wrist, which hadn't changed much. "Did Azmis say anything?"
Jason: "If you mean he's pretending—nothing. If you mean anything else—he tells a lot of riddles, I'd recommend him team up with the Riddler in Gotham... Ben, you have no idea how outrageous he is!"
He had a lot of questions in his mind and waited until Benjamin woke up. He just wanted to find out what Azmis meant and why he sighed after asking him and his mentor questions.
Who is that "clearly so similar" resembling? Is that a negative or positive resemblance? What's that sigh about? The old frog who walked off mid-sentence is so infuriating!
"Azmis shouldn't be sighing at you."
Benjamin said after listening to Jason's indignant story.
"He might be thinking of his second assistant, Albedo. Albedo was fired by Azmis some time before I came here. Before being sent to prison by Azmis, he angrily shouted, 'Azmis, I hate you.'"
Benjamin briefly explained how Albedo took a different approach, refusing to acknowledge that an Earth child had earned Azmis's approval to wear the Omnitrix while he himself could not. He then went on to create a replacement Omnitrix to prove his worth, but was accidentally trapped inside the Omnitrix's Earthling form—a clone of Benjamin himself. He then had to travel to Earth to retrieve the original Omnitrix from Benjamin, and return to his original form.
"Maybe Azmis was somewhat touched. After all, I remember when I was a kid, Albedo was a little fan of Azmis, willing to sacrifice his life to protect his mentor. Who would have thought that after five years, he would become like this?"
Jason was also very emotional after hearing this: "I'm not saying that stealing is right, but an assistant for hundreds of years... is thrown into prison just like that?"
I have been able to tolerate Azmis's bad temper for so many years. If Azmis had said something softer, this wouldn't have happened.
Benjamin sighed. "This is the second one. The previous assistant, Mayas, was like that too, but Mayas went back with Azmis because he didn't want to go to jail. Azmis used to have a really bad personality, but he's much better now. When I first met him, he was a selfish bastard. He's a little better now, but only slightly."
Li Hua: "Being Azmis's assistant is more likely to land you in jail than being an accountant. Azmis really needs to reflect on himself."
Benjamin had previously said that Azmis's lab had bad feng shui, but in his opinion, Azmis's own mouth was the biggest feng shui problem! While other people's golden toads open their mouths to bring in wealth, Azmis's mouth opens to send him to jail!
"The probability of the old frog assistant going to jail is higher than the probability of the old bat assistant going to hell." Jason said, "But on the other hand, Azmis's assistant is 100% likely to go to jail, and Bruce's assistant is 100% likely to get out of jail. How can this not be considered a two-way rush of the otherworldly mentors without mouths?"
Li Hua: “…”
While making fun of Azmis, he also insulted Bruce and made his own hellish joke. Jason, you might as well stop calling yourself "Jason Todd".
Let’s call him “Jason Jide”.
Be kind in your speech and accumulate some merits to offset the evil deeds that are too much of a joke in hell.
Jason: "Has Albedo been restored to his original form?"
Benjamin: "No, Azmis wanted him to be trapped in a cage in a human body, and then he sent Albedo to prison and told me Albedo that he would never bother me again."
impossible.
The debuffs on the guy called Albedo are piling up. Judging from the current information about Albedo and what Azmis said, Jason dares to swear on his hood and years of experience in dealing with highly intelligent criminals - Albedo is just the beginning now. If he is not dealt with, he will definitely escape from prison and defect in the future, becoming a particularly troublesome and intelligent super villain!
Jason: "When I get to your universe, I want to meet Albedo. I feel like he and I will have a lot in common."
In terms of scolding the tutor.
Maybe he could persuade this unfortunate kid to turn back to the right path. Jason finally understood how he felt when Batman saw him prying off the Batmobile's tires in the alley.
No matter how talented a child is, he or she can always get back on the right track with a little help, no matter how likely he or she is to go astray.
Who could resist helping out? Not Batman, not Jason.
Benjamin couldn't bear to see his good brother sad. "I can find a way to take you to see Albedo. But I have to make it clear first, Albedo's personality is very extreme - at least it has become very extreme now. In order to find me, he destroyed three castles with Eternal Warriors and a half-beast lair. When he found me, he first tried to trick me into taking the Omnitrix, but after being exposed, he planned to take it by force... So your trip may be in vain."
If Albedo had asked him nicely, he wouldn't have refused to help. But Albedo just didn't want to ask for help from the stupid Earthlings he looked down upon.
"real?"
Jason's eyes lit up. He originally thought that the man named Albedo was like Scarecrow and Mr. Freeze, but it turned out that he was so good at fighting?
And it sounds like the code of conduct of this man named Albedo doesn't conform to the conventional concept of kindness.
What a coincidence, he is not one of them either.
Jason: "Does Azmis no longer want this second assistant?"
Benjamin: “I don’t know…what are you going to do?”
Jason smiled slightly: "Then I will take Li Hua with me to visit the prison."
Li Hua pointed at himself in confusion: "Me? But I don't know Albedo, and I'm not good at negotiation."
Jason: "You are more familiar with Azmis's character and the situation over there. You can go with me then."
Li Hua is so professional at poaching people!
Li Hua can poach Benjamin and himself, so why can't he poach Albedo, who is highly similar to himself and is in Benjamin's clone?

The author has something to say: Li Hua: What I have in my hand is a magic wand, not a hoe for poaching!
