"Su! That's the seventh drug dealer you've killed this week!
After the last criminal you shot was cremated, they found 250 grams of bullets left over!
We're Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., not terrorists!"
Nick Fury slammed the folder in his hand onto his desk, pointed at the Asian man before him, and let loose a torrent of abuse.
His sheer volume was enough to express his anger. His bald, black head looked like a braised egg.
"Next time I'll use a bigger-caliber gun, the kind that kills in one shot, sir!"
The tall man standing before Nick Fury was named Su Zhou, a level-three S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
He had originally been a mole Hydra planted in S.H.I.E.L.D., and one of its few Asian faces at that.
He had died on his way to the hospital because of an ordinary cold. Now, another soul named Su Zhou had taken over his body.
This Su Zhou had been a hardcore Marvel fan in his previous life and quickly accepted his identity after transmigrating.
After all, as a newbie transmigrator, seeing a face in the newspaper identical to Robert Downey Jr.'s,
it was hard not to know that the current playboy Tony Stark would one day become Iron Man, the man who saved the universe.
He had also awakened a transmigrator's standard equipment-a golden finger! It was called the "Justice Points Lottery System."
As long as the system judged his actions to be just, he could earn Justice Points to use in the lottery!
Every 100 Justice Points bought one draw. As for what prize he got, that was all down to luck.
Apart from the free draw he received when binding the system, which gave Su Zhou the skill [Deadshot],
he had spent a whole month in this world without scraping together the 100 Justice Points needed for a second draw!
The prize wheel didn't just contain skills from the Marvel Universe. At the very least, Su Zhou had seen:
[Man of Steel] and [Phoenix Force], skills that could only be called broken!
In a world where human lives were cheap, knowing how to use firearms alone couldn't give Su Zhou a sense of security.
Even if he couldn't get Superman's Man of Steel, he at least needed an ability that could let him fight Thor to a draw!
The Purple Sweet Potato Spirit would be coming to Earth before long. He really couldn't get by without some ability to protect himself!
Besides, the Marvel Universe would enter the multiverse era sooner or later. If he didn't have multiverse-level strength,
and wasn't the protagonist, he would most likely end up as ash!
I finally got to transmigrate, and if I just die like this, won't it all have been for nothing?!
Fortunately, his cover identity as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. frequently brought him into contact with lawbreakers.
Sooner or later, he would earn enough Justice Points for draws. As long as he drew enough times, he would eventually grow stronger!
Bad luck didn't matter. With enough Justice Points, even a grinding maniac would have his day!
Through testing, Su Zhou discovered that arresting criminals and sending them to prison sometimes earned him no Justice Points.
In other words, certain criminals might escape legal punishment, leaving him without any Justice Points!
But shooting criminals dead earned him Justice Points one hundred percent of the time!
Su Zhou: (눈‸눈)
What a massive loss!!!
Thanks to the skill [Deadshot], Su Zhou was truly in his element in the land of the free.
Whatever gun he held felt familiar in his hands, and he could hit his target no matter what.
Dealers in white powder? Shoot them dead!
Five-finger discounts at stores? Shoot them dead!
Armed robbery? Empty the magazine!
In short, within a week of transmigrating, Su Zhou had killed seventeen or eighteen criminals.
He instantly became famous in S.H.I.E.L.D., earning reprimands by name from his superiors in both Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.
His Hydra superior said a mole couldn't act like that. Even if he wanted to earn merits and a promotion, he couldn't be so hasty!
His S.H.I.E.L.D. superior said an agent couldn't act like that. If he killed all the bad guys, the agency's funding would get cut!
So Su Zhou pulled out his pistol and pressed it against his S.H.I.E.L.D. superior's head.
"You parasites! You're letting crimes happen right under your noses for the sake of that damned funding?!"
The result... a dozen or so special forces soldiers subdued Su Zhou on the spot and locked him in solitary confinement.
Then his story reached the ears of Coulson, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s number-one henchman.
Upon hearing that the agency had a tough guy who dared draw a gun on a corrupt superior, he immediately requested all of Su Zhou's files for a careful review.
Hydra's methods of fabricating records were naturally flawless, so Coulson went to meet Su Zhou in his confinement cell.
With his tall build and bright, resolute eyes, apart from his black hair and Asian face,
he looked just like Coulson's idol, Captain America. Coulson immediately ordered an end to Su Zhou's confinement,
and recommended Su Zhou to his boss, Nick Fury, to work as a bodyguard at his side.
But what sort of man was Su Zhou? What wouldn't he do for Justice Points?!
While out with Nick Fury, he saw police cars pursuing a fugitive.
Without a second thought, he shot the fugitive's gas tank and blew it up!
Even Nick Fury was left utterly dumbfounded and could only assign Su Zhou a desk job.
Otherwise known as guarding the office door!
Even then, on his way to and from work, Su Zhou would still randomly kill a gangster or two from Hell's Kitchen.
He left every gangster in Hell's Kitchen fearing for their lives, afraid to come and go freely.
If S.H.I.E.L.D.'s salary hadn't been fairly generous, Su Zhou would barely have had enough money to buy bullets at the gun store!
Yet even after all that, Su Zhou had earned only 68 Justice Points.
After another week passed, Nick Fury finally exploded, leading to the opening scene.
"Enough!!! I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense!"
Veins bulged on Nick Fury's dark forehead as he looked at the righteous-looking Su Zhou before him.
The two stared at each other for a long while, but Nick Fury was the one who lost in the end.
After all, he only had one eye!
Seeing that being tough with Su Zhou wouldn't work, he could only try speaking gently.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is a secret underground organization to begin with. What you're doing will bring trouble down on us."
"Sir, I show CIA credentials when I shoot."
"..."
"But you can't dump all the blame on them, either..."
"Sometimes I show FBI credentials."
"..."
"Occasionally NYPD and so on, too, sir!"
Nick Fury: (눈‸눈)
Well, would you look at that!
The kid really does cover all his bases. Even if this went to a military court,
Su Zhou could easily win the case and get a hefty compensation payment, too!
After all, Su Zhou had acted entirely according to the agent handbook. No one could find a single fault!
Authorized by the egg: execute first, report later!
That was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. for you!
Besides, having such an uncompromising hothead under him wasn't bad, either.
If he really had to fire Su Zhou, Nick would be rather reluctant!
Plus, Su Zhou was Asian. With LGBT causing such a stir, mishandling this could easily turn into a major incident!
After a moment's thought, Nick came up with an utterly brilliant idea!
"Su Zhou, you know the famous playboy Tony Stark?
He's going to the Middle East tomorrow. Your new assignment is to keep him safe throughout the trip."
Nick Fury had it all planned out. He hoped the wind and sand of the Middle East would knock some sense into this stubborn young man.
More importantly, he wanted to send this little bastard far away, where he wouldn't be hanging around under his nose!
Su Zhou didn't immediately accept the assignment. Instead, his mind raced.
Tony Stark's trip to the Middle East would set him on the path to becoming Iron Man.
If not for that kidnapping, Tony would never have built the Iron Man Armor,
nor would he have understood how cruel war was, and that selling weapons would only bring suffering to the world.
As for the terrorists who kidnapped Tony, weren't they just walking Justice Points?
At that thought, Su Zhou nodded and accepted Nick's assignment.
"Yes, sir!"
"Coulson will provide the mission details. Just go see him."
"Goodbye, sir!"
Su Zhou pulled open the office door and walked out, but just as the door was about to close,
he stuck his head back in and spoke to Nick Fury in a threatening tone:
"Sir, I've noticed you've been moving large sums of money around lately. I suspect you've been embezzling agency funds.
Even if you send me off to the Middle East now, it won't help!
I'll keep investigating when I get back! This isn't over!"
Bang-!
Su Zhou slammed the door shut, making Nick jump.
Nick Fury: (눈‸●)
What a curse!!! Go make someone else's life miserable already!!!
