1 Chapter 1: My crossing seems to be... wrong (1/2)
Editor: Francis
”Bad luck bad luck!” Looking at the phone screen and watching as Jackie Chan yelling, while trying his best to escape, Jack Ming could not help but laugh.
Currently, he's watching the classic animation ”The Adventures of Jackie Chan,” starring, of course, the one and only superstar Jackie Chan not as the typical action star you know of, but as an archaeologist.
When he first saw it, Jack Ming wanted to puke. Sure enough, even an ordinary archaeologist, as long as he is Jackie Chan, will certainly be involved in many kinds of troubles, besides...
Which archaeologist can play this way?! This is obviously a mistake, especially with his skill set!
There's no way this can happen but who told him to be Jackie Chan, only someone of his caliber can do it this way.
As the graduation comes close in the university, students have already gotten their internships in succession. His roommates in the dormitory are also having a part-time job of their own. But only Jack Ming, this lazy bum is lazy enough to not get one.
Since his roommates are not in the dormitory, Jack Ming can only use the Internet to pass the time. Every day reading novels, watching anime, movies and playing games.
Just a few days ago, after reading the new novels that were being released, Jack Ming was looking for any other beautiful anime. He accidentally saw this childhood classic ”Jackie Chan's Adventures,” so he began to watch it back again as he reminisced his childhood.
It was originally used to kill time, but as he kept on going he eventually became addicted to it. He would still find it interesting no matter how many times he has watched it.
”Call... It's really good.” After spending a few days, Jack Ming finally watched the final episode of the classic animation.
Looking at the old man finally releasing Shendu to contain Drago, the dragon group returned the talismans to Shendu restoring his powers back, Jack Ming speechlessly said: ”The result still heavily relied on the power of the talismans, looks like the abilities of the talismans are the main theme of the whole animation.”
In the end, the old man sealed both Shendu and Drago into hell through the reverse spell, let the father and son duo live together forever and love each other (E/N: it's weird but who cares) , and with this ”The Adventures of Jackie Chan” also came to an end.
”I feel a little wasteful...” After watching ”The Adventures of Jackie Chan”, Jack Ming was a bit sad, because the magical talismans disappeared when Shendu was sealed, which made Jack Ming, who loved the talismans very much dissatisfied.
When thinking of the magical power of each of the twelve talismans, Jack Ming can't help but drift into wonderland.
Rat Talisman, grants life to inanimate objects [Animation];
Ox Talisman: gives super strength;
Tiger Talisman: gives spiritual balance;
Rabbit Talisman: grants super speed;
Dragon Talisman: Combustion;
Snake Talisman: gives invisibility;
Horse Talisman: grants purifying cure [Healing and Regeneration];
Sheep Talisman: enables astral projection;
Monkey Talisman: Shapeshifting;
Chicken Talisman: Levitation Telekinesis;
Dog Talisman: Immortality Rejuvenation;
Pig Talisman: Heat Vision...
If someone asked Jack Ming which talisman he likes the most, he will definitely answer the ”sheep Talisman ”.
It is not a dragon talisman with a strong attack power, nor the chicken talisman that allows humans to realize their flying dreams. Instead, it is the sheep talisman which is rated as the weakest in the twelve talismans!
The sheep talisman can make people's souls go out and even enter other people's dreams. There seems to be no use of this ability, there are only a few times in the animation that this talisman was used, but Jack Ming still loves this talisman.
What are the three abilities that a gentleman wants to get the most? The answer would undoubtedly be ”Stealth, X-ray vision and Teleportation.”
If there is a chance to gain any abilities, Jack Ming will also choose these three abilities. Although there are no counterparts in the twelve talismans, the ”invisibility” of the snake charm and the ”speed” of the rabbit talisman can also do two of them.
However, the ”Astral Projection” of the sheep talisman actually acts as a kind of high-level stealth, because the soul can't be seen or touched.
As for the X-ray, although the sheep talisman can't solve it, as a gentleman, Jack Ming has developed enough patience. Can't see through? Then wait until the other party strip themselves...
After a good minute of fantasizing, Jack Ming returned to his senses and readjusted the glasses on his nose. After some self-depreciation and sighing, he said
”*sigh*... I bet when I was watching the animation I looked silly, I didn't think after I graduate from the second middle school, reality would hit me to my senses, I wish I could travel all the planes like MC in novels with the talismans as a cheat.”
He glanced at the power display of the mobile phone and found that the remaining power was less than 10%. Jack jumped from the bed, took the charger out of the cabinet and connected it to the phone, then pointed the plug into the socket hole and inserted it smoothly...
BOOM!! ! ! !
A burst of explosion sounded, Jack Ming's mobile phone suddenly exploded, and the left hand which was holding the mobile phone was blown into a bloody mess, and a heartily amount of pain made Jack Ming mourn, and as he was about to scream, screen fragments splashed around he did not know if it was coincidence or fate but a piece was penetrated into Jack Ming's eyes all the way through the brain.
The electric sparks ignited the book on the table, and soon it became a raging fire, sweeping the entire dormitory, and the dying Jack Ming was swallowed up by the ruthless flames, taking away the last traces of life.
No one will ever know that Jack Ming's last thoughts before his death was ”I will never buy a used mobile phone... ever.”
...
Jack Ming glared with a pair of dead fish eyes, leaning against the wall, his eyes staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds.
”Fu**, He remembers that he was watching 'The Adventures of Jackie Chan,' how come he was transmigrated in the Marvel movie world.” Jack Ming couldn't help but curse, feeling that his future is bleak.
