Every day, one can check in once and receive a random reward, plus 10 check-in points.
Although the random rewards from checking in are mostly daily necessities without much value, the gradually accumulated check-in points have a very important meaning—every 300 check-in points accumulated can be exchanged for a blind box from the system transformed from a faulty hard drive.
Including the Diablo 2 Barbarian bloodline that Shi Xiaolei now possesses, as well as the two characters 2B and Kanna, all were obtained from blind boxes.
This is the Marvel world, with countless undercurrents hidden beneath the calm surface.
To live a leisurely life, one cannot succeed without extraordinary strength.
Whether it's powerful companions or bloodlines containing great potential, through his first three attempts, Shi Xiaolei has summarized one experience.
'rewards from blind boxes can greatly enhance one's own strength.'
Since the day he intervened in the battle between Iron Monger and Iron Man, leaving behind the hidden danger of exposing his identity.
Shi Xiaolei has been looking forward to the next opportunity to open a blind box—although he has already merged with the Barbarian bloodline and possesses quite remarkable combat power, although he has already summoned 2B and Kanna.
But as a transmigrator, because of the "fear of insufficient firepower" rooted deep in his bones, at this juncture where he's about to be exposed or has already been exposed, Shi Xiaolei, from the bottom of his heart, wants to open another blind box to add another layer of insurance for his family.
One day, two days, three days... counting the days, until today, Shi Xiaolei finally gathered another 300 check-in points.
As for why he didn't immediately exchange for the blind box and open it once he had enough points, but instead waited an extra day.
There was no other reason, just to be cautious—the first time he opened a box and merged with the Barbarian bloodline, the pain was so intense that Shi Xiaolei screams alarmed the neighbors.
The third time he opened a box and welcomed little Kanna, charging her up to replenish her energy caused the entire neighborhood to lose power.
Among the three box-opening experiences, only the second time didn't cause any major disturbance.
Having already entered S.H.I.E.L.D. line of sight and become their key person of interest, Shi Xiaolei didn't want to cause any more unusual situations that might bring higher-level surveillance.
Since he had promised the little girl they would go sea fishing tomorrow anyway, why not take this opportunity to open the blind box on the open sea where no one is around.
This way, even if the new companion causes some commotion, it won't attract too much attention.
...
With an excited and anticipating heart, he stayed up until midnight before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, before fully waking up, Shi Xiaolei was awakened by a soft, sweet calling.
"Xiaolei, Xiaolei, wake up~!"
Opening his eyes and looking around in confusion, it turned out to be little Kanna.
Looking at the little girl adorable and innocent face, feeling her excitement and anticipation, the slight irritation Shi Xiaolei felt at being woken up immediately vanished without a trace.
"Morning, Kanna."
Pulling his arm out from under the covers to ruffle the little girl head, Shi Xiaolei smiled.
"You need to get off me first, so I can get up."
"Oh~."
The little girl responded, rolling away and sliding off the edge of the bed onto the floor.
She really is an adorable creature.
Watching the little girl movements, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but think of the baby pandas he had seen in videos before.
Those little ones moved in the same way when climbing down from high places.
Taking the beach shorts and large T-shirt that served as loungewear from the chair beside the bed, he put them on under the covers before throwing back the blanket and getting out of bed.
Bending down to pick up little Kanna, the two of them left the room and came to the living room.
"Sylvia, good morning."
2B had already gotten up, and was now organizing their luggage.
Seeing her busy figure, Shi Xiaolei casually greeted her.
"Good morning."
Raising her hand with a smile in return, 2B also asked.
"Rock, should we bring the salmon?"
"Let's bring it. Better safe than sorry. If we don't catch a suitable big fish..."
"No way~!"
Before Shi Xiaolei could finish, Kanna in his arms had already protested.
"Today I will definitely catch a big fish, at least this~~~big!"
"Haha, is that so."
Looking at the little girl stretching her arms out as wide as she could, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help laughing again.
Brushing teeth, washing faces, taking the little girl back to the room to change her into a pretty outfit.
After completing their preparations for departure, the three left home and first ate an authentic Chinese breakfast at a nearby breakfast shop.
When it was almost nine in the morning, they finally arrived at a private yacht dock located in south Brooklyn, near Floyd Bennett Airport.
Considering that he needed to open a blind box after going out to sea and had to avoid being seen or heard, Shi Xiaolei didn't rent a yacht online, but instead called Stark directly and borrowed his private yacht.
"Hi, you must be Rock, right?"
As soon as the family arrived at the dock, a chubby, large man came up to greet them.
"I'm Happy, Mr. Stark driver and bodyguard."
"Hello, Happy."
Shi Xiaolei was a bit surprised that Stark would send him over.
What was even more surprising was that after Happy led the three onto the yacht and gave them a brief introduction, he indicated that he would stay with them all day, piloting the yacht for them.
"..."
Knowing this was Stark goodwill, but to be honest, Shi Xiaolei was indeed in a difficult position.
Refusing didn't seem appropriate. Not refusing meant having Happy, an outsider, present would make it inconvenient for him to open the box.
After struggling for quite a while, Shi Xiaolei finally came up with an excuse that seemed reasonable enough.
Taking advantage of the little girl enthusiastic exploration of the yacht with 2B following to take care of her, Shi Xiaolei quietly pulled Happy onto the deck and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Hey, buddy, although it's a bit embarrassing, but could you not come along?"
"Hmm?"
Pointing back at the cabin, Shi Xiaolei deliberately winked.
"It's a rare opportunity, I'm planning to wait until the little one falls asleep... you understand, right?"
Looking back, his gaze falling on 2B, Happy showed an expression of sudden realization.
"I understand, I understand."
"So, your answer is?"
"I can leave, give you guys some space."
Happy cooperatively replied.
"Of course, provided that you know how to operate this thing."
It wasn't that he was afraid they would damage the yacht; after all, given Stark wealth and his attitude toward Shi Xiaolei family, even if they damaged the yacht, he wouldn't ask them for compensation.
What Happy was really worried about was that the family might have an accident due to improper operation after taking the boat out to sea.
"That's not a problem then."
Shi Xiaolei smiled.
"You probably don't know, but Sylvia is an expert driver. Whether it flies in the sky, swims in the water, or runs on the ground, there isn't a vehicle she doesn't know how to operate."
"..."
Looking back again at 2B who was taking care of the child, Happy turned his head back with a face full of disbelief.
"Dude, are you serious?"
