New Gods of North America.

Chapter 384 Arrangement
When Wayne returned to the detective agency,
Connor, who had just returned from his shift, happened to be "fighting" with Damon MacCready.

Connor is now ranked first among the agents in the "Arena". I haven't seen him play in the ladder since Damon MacCready came back, but now he is playing directly with the top of the list. He seems quite confident.
Sanders was also interested in challenging Conor for the position and soon joined the crowd.

At present, Damon MacCready's left arm has completely expanded and mutated. It is not "invulnerable" at ordinary times, but it can be "hardened" or transformed into "spikes" in a short period of time.

It can even suddenly stretch out a long section like a toad's tongue and pounce on others from a long distance.

Apart from the "parasitized" left arm, his own extraordinary ability is to "change into the appearance of the person he touches".
According to him, if the volume of his body is "compressed" to a certain extent in this process, his physical qualities in terms of strength and speed will also be improved accordingly, and vice versa.

At this moment, Damon MacCready has very cunningly changed into the appearance of Willy. It is said that this is the limit of his "compression" and is his strongest state now.
His left arm, which was parasitized by the remains of the members of the School of Life, seemed to be affected by his own extraordinary ability, and its volume was compressed accordingly, but it still looked bloated and still not in proportion to the human body.

Connor and Sanders had just been given a piece of extraordinary material a few days ago, and theoretically they had improved slightly recently.

However, when Conor faced Damon McQuaid, he was obviously struggling.
Under the continuous attacks of Damon MacCready and the deformed tentacles, basic defense was not a problem, but it was also difficult to organize a counterattack. There was no longer the coolness of "dancing on the tip of the knife" that he had when fighting with others before.

In the end, Lina gave Conor a technical defeat and the champion failed to defend his title.

Sanders' fight with Damon McCready looks more "manly".
One time, I grabbed the hardened tentacle and pulled the opponent towards me, almost completing a beautiful shoulder throw.
Both of them have very strong bodies, and their fight is very exciting to watch.

But Sanders was seriously knocked down by Damon McGrady. He looked exhausted after the game and had no strength to fight again.

After a good rest, Sanders fought with Conor again.
At this moment, Conor became more assertive again. He might not be as strong as the other fighter, but he was just as ruthless. He still had the style that could make others feel "ashamed" but become more and more angry as the fight went on.

The top three rankings are basically determined, Damon McCready, Connor, and Sanders.

Wayne suddenly had an idea. Since the strength comparison of the agents would also change, he might as well come up with a "season" and summarize it every six months or a year.
So Conor somehow got the title of "First Season Champion". Wayne thought about customizing some rings and hanging a set in the detective agency, and each winner would receive one.
The plan is to give it to the top three in the first season, and then think about it after the second season is over to see whether to give it to the top five or top ten.

After watching the fight, Wayne started to call people to come over and unload the goods.

This thing brought back from the factory is not suitable for being moved all the time, so it is temporarily placed at the door of the "big warehouse" in the small courtyard. A small platform is built there and covered with oilcloth.
After this thing is set up, it can be "swung" to a certain extent, but it is still difficult to use. It takes at least two people to aim and shoot, and it takes a team to change bullets, and it can't be done quickly.

Its working principle is not complicated. The agents quickly understood it after watching for a while.

Looking back, this is a one-time trick for home use, trying to give someone a "good start", and if that doesn't work, it would still be more cost-effective to "fight guerrilla warfare".

Wayne thought about it for a while and decided to change the oilcloth into a doghouse.

It is both waterproof and sun-proof and will not cause unnecessary misunderstandings to customers. When you need to use it, you can simply disassemble the doghouse and put it back together when you are done.

A pigeon flew back from the "office".
Ryan and his friends have been lucky recently. They have caught a few wanted criminals and, most importantly, seized a batch of stolen goods. Including the bounty, the harvest, and the "thank you" from the owner, they have already earned $1300. The commission from the detective agency has been deposited into a local bank account in the state. However, Ryan is beginning to find it annoying to manage people. He quietly said that the work of the office is now on track and asked the detective agency if they could arrange someone to take over as soon as possible.
Wayne actually thought one of the reasons Ryan gave was quite reasonable, because he said he missed the delicious food made by Chef Parker.

It’s less than half a year, just hold it in for now.

In comparison, the food problem is easy to solve.
Wayne thought about it and decided to ask Parker to make a batch of sauce and recycled cheese slices and send them to them by steam train freight.

Give them the recipes for hamburgers and hot dogs as well, so that the chef seems to be still alive among them.

In the evening, Professor Maisel personally came to the detective agency to conduct a "home visit".
She asked Wayne why he couldn't go back to school to attend classes even though he had recovered enough to duel with others, which was really delaying his and Emma's studies.

Wayne could only coax the professor, saying that he would recover as soon as possible and return to college after this period was over.

There were still two days before the public duel. In order to prevent the other party from stealing the house, they even stopped sending agents to the bar to spread the news.

A bunch of people were in the detective agency. They attended classes and fought for half a day during the day. After dinner, they continued to set traps near the yard.

Connor, the hunter, came back just in time, perhaps with some resentment for having been knocked off the top spot.

Some of their dirty tricks were smoother than Innessa's, and they even wanted to make the traps chained together, as if they were afraid that the other party was not cunning enough.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day everyone continued to set traps.
Lina also made a thing with a fuse of nearly ten meters, hoping to give the attacker a severe blow.

Wayne told the agents to remember to treat that area as a restricted area before detonating the explosion.
While reminding Lina to remember to pile some small iron nails or iron beads on the explosives.

Most of the iron nails commonly seen these days are so-called "square nails", which are cut from steel sheets using large longitudinal cutting machines. They are one of the few industrial products in America that can compete with the Kingdom of Windsor in terms of cost and performance.

A few decades ago, when Americans moved, they would rather burn down their houses and recycle the nails than waste them like this.

——At that time, iron nails were still made by blacksmiths and were relatively expensive. Even American politicians had to complain in the newspapers that such a big country as America had to import even a small iron nail from the Kingdom of Windsor.

Lina, the rich little lady, was lucky to have come at the right time. America had already achieved "nail freedom" and she didn't feel bad about using them, so she just sprinkled a handful on it.

Wayne has now figured out the opponent's pattern. He likes to give others a big blow before important nodes.
The official public duel will begin tomorrow, and I don't think there will be any peace tonight.

Then that night, this thing really came in handy.
