Chapter 4 You are the real hero
If you want to take a taxi in New York, you can basically only rely on the roadside to wave, and the price is very expensive.

Fortunately, Xiashang is located in the city center, and the number of taxis is not small. If it is placed in some remote areas, it is estimated that there may not be a taxi passing by after waiting for half an hour, so this is why most families in the United States choose to buy a car. one of the reasons.

"Dude, are you going to Chinatown?" An orange taxi stopped in front of Xia Shang, and the driver seemed to be Chinese.

"No, go directly to this address."

Xia Shang showed the driver the address on his phone.

"OK, it will take half an hour." The driver is obviously familiar with New York's terrain.

"Are you Chinese?" the driver asked as soon as he got in the car.

"My family immigrated to the United States more than ten years ago."

"Then you speak Chinese well." Talkativeness may be the characteristic of most drivers, and this one next to Xia Shang is like this.

The driver was chatting with Xia Shang while driving, and Xia Shang did not object to this.

"Wow, you are actually an employee of Water Company. My son likes the natives of our company very much. The natives are his idols. By the way, do you have the signatures of the natives? I can buy them for $200."

Xia Shang saw a lot of superhero stickers in the car. I have to say that the marketing ability of Water Company is really strong. In the whole of New York, there are traces of superheroes almost everywhere, whether it is billboards on the street, On the packaging of beverages, superheroes can be said to be pervasive.

"I don't have an autograph from my motherland, but I have a ticket for his fan meeting."

This ticket is an internal welfare for Walter employees, usually for relatives and children in the employees' families, but Xia Shang couldn't get it, so he took out the ticket and handed it to the driver. Originally, the driver wanted to pay for it, but Xia Shang refused.

He can get one of these things every few days, especially people from the motherland have a lot of tickets.

There is one thing to say, the motherland is still good to his fans, of course, the premise is that he seems to enjoy the feeling of being admired when he is in a good mood.

"And you, my friend, you are the real hero." The driver drove with one hand, learning the mantra of the motherland.

When Xia Shang got out of the car, the driver didn't ask for his fare. Instead, he gave Xia Shang his phone number, asking him to call the next time he needed a ride.

The master of swordsmanship is an old man with a gray beard. The layout of his gymnasium is a bit like Taekwondo, and the inside is very clean and tidy.

After changing his clothes, Xia Shang and a dozen other students waited for the arrival of swordsman Johnson.

In the next second, the students beside Xia Shang burst into exclamations.

"Queen Maeve!" Many of the students are fans of Maeve, so they were very excited when they saw Queen Maeve appear in the gym, and many of them even screamed. Appears quite calm.

Maeve, who is tall and slender, enthusiastically took photos with fans. Obviously, she is already comfortable with such small scenes.

"Master Johnson used to be my teacher, so I came to visit him specially."

Maeve explained why she was here.

At this time, the camera behind her kept making the sound of pressing the shutter. In fact, it is not difficult to see that this is just a premeditated marketing activity. After all, the Water Group occupies a large share in this gym.

"Maeve, the hustle and bustle of the world has destroyed your desire to become stronger, and you have disappointed me." The swordsman Johnson, although short in stature, stood upright, just standing there, Gives a very strong sense of oppression.

Johnson's words froze the smile on Maeve's face, and she had to comb her brown-red hair embarrassingly.

The staff behind her, upon seeing this, immediately led people out of the gymnasium.

Xia Shang vaguely remembered that Maeve's personality wasn't bad, but after staying with those superheroes for a long time, it was inevitable that she would pick up some bad habits.

"Let me see, what percentage of the sword skills I taught you is left." Master Johnson threw the wooden sword in his hand to Maeve.

After Maeve took the wooden sword, she stabbed at the rubber target.

I saw that the extremely tough rubber doll was pierced in an instant, and this power made Xia Shang, who was watching from the sidelines, quite envious.

"There is still half an inch away from the heart, and the ability to pierce the doll is only due to brute force. Your control over your own strength is not as good as a new student who has been here for less than a month." Johnson reprimanded mercilessly .

"How is it possible?" Maeve frowned, not believing that a student who only practiced for a month could surpass herself.

Oops!

As soon as Master Johnson's voice fell, Xia Shang, who was trying his best to reduce his sense of presence, felt bad.

Sure enough, Johnson's falcon-like gaze quickly found Xia Shang from the crowd.

"Xia, come and demonstrate your sword skills."

Facing his favorite student, Master Johnson's attitude was obviously much better, and even his expression became kind.

There was no other way, Xia Shang had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out of the crowd.

"Did I meet you somewhere?" Maeve looked at the Asian kid in front of her, as if she had seen him somewhere.

"A month ago, I played the robber in a short play you filmed."

"So it's you." Well, even after Xia Shang said that, Maeve still didn't remember it, just like Asians have facial recognition barriers to Westerners, Westerners can't tell what Asians look like at all.

Seeing the doubt in Queen Maeve's eyes, Xia Shang knew that the other party had definitely forgotten who he was.

Xia Shang picked up the wooden sword, stepped on the soft rubber pad, swung the sword flower casually, and slashed or stabbed at the puppet several times. The movements were so fast that most people didn't even see clearly, only saw a few Wisps of sword light floated in the air.

Only Maeve, whose dynamic vision is beyond ordinary people, can completely see Xia Shang's movements.

"Brows, throat, and heart are all fatal wounds, and the control of strength is just right." Maeve said softly with serious eyes.

"That's right, the moves are fast and there is no mess. The only thing lacking now is actual combat." Master Johnson nodded in satisfaction. To be honest, he feels that Xia Shang now is like Maeve a few years ago. In terms of swordsmanship Xia Shang's talent is as amazing, even Xia Shang's lethality is stronger, and it is more suitable for actual combat.

"Your sword skills are really good."

Maeve held out her left hand to Xia Shang, "Are you interested in participating in the selection contest for superheroes?"

Xia Shang didn't expect that Maeve would throw an olive branch at him, and immediately felt his scalp tingle, and even came up in his mind, others introduced his sword to the people of the motherland very quickly, but was shot through by the people of the country with a laser, and said : "I believe there is nothing faster than a laser."

"Not yet, I don't have this idea for now." Xia Shang hastily refused.
