I would try to avoid acronyms like NSA. In the United States, the National Security Administration has a dark reputation that may be even more disdained than the CIA, Department of Homeland Security, or the IRS. They literally took the book 1984 and made it a reality. If China's cybersecurity is the Great Firewall, then the US's is the Great Internet Spiderweb.
The two superhumans were from the emergency response unit of the National Superhuman Alliance. The National Superhuman Alliance was a large body that encompassed all of the superhumans in the world. Every superhuman that existed and lived in America was registered under the American NSA branch without exception.

Six shields = same total width as Eight fishmen.
The seven or eight Mutated Fishmen that charged were met by six shield-wielding soldiers who managed to fend off the mindless slashes of their claws, leaving blood stains on their shields before the Merfolk's heads were pierced by the longspears.

He's a stereotypical knight from something like the legends of Camelot. Chivalrous to use his power to protect others, but with no sympathy for criminals beyond the basic mercy of not killing them.
Draven, on the other hand, watches the show while enjoying his beer. He has already asked Arthur not to kill the trio, so he will not interfere anymore and let his son decide how heavy the punishment will be.

Noblesse Oblige - The duty of those with power is to protect those with none. It is the foundation of Chivalry. It's the "Uncle Ben" saying.
"To protect life," Draven corrects him. "Every life is precious, so it falls upon people like us, blessed with the strength to make a difference, to protect those who cannot do it alone."

A gun will also knock you down if you aren't strong enough. The sling would be the best bet, as it is reasonably effective even for weaker people.
"Guns, or the easier choice here, a bow and arrows."

While fast food can be cheaper, most colleges offer fairly cheap options in house, like cafeterias. In my experience, it's rare for fast food to be cheaper than school-provided options. Then there's the amount of walking that is necessary. While some smaller colleges have parking near the major facilities, most require you to walk pretty far to get to where you need to go. If you aren't physically fit, it is really difficult to get around campuses. I personally only knew a handful of students who were decently large, and they mostly had extenuating circumstances like difficulties with how their body processes fat, or similar issues. Diet generally wasn't the issue, since the vast majority of students were required to maintain a certain level of fitness just to manage their class schedule, or they had to rely on the in-house options, which were already healthier.

A village this small would not have swords. They are too resource-intensive and not worth the cost. They would be using the metal on armor, which is more important. That allows them to concentrate on spears and armor, rather than comparatively useless swords.
"Spearman to the back! Swordsmen to the front!" the spearmen quickly exchange places with the sword militia, who began to overpower and slaughter the goblins.

My sister once travelled nearly 70k blocks just to find Mangrove wood. I chose to settle at spawn, while she built a large warehouse there, only to functionally abandon it in favor of practically being a nomad. Minecraft players truly are nutjobs.
Ignoring one mountain that was neatly cut off, the whole area looked simply beautiful. As if a Minecraft player's dream who runs 20,000 blocks to find a place for a house.

Capital city pun? Was not expecting that. (While not currently the capital, Shanghai was once the capital of China under the Yuan dynasty. Dubai, as most people know is the capital of the United Arab Emirates.)
In a small, dilapidated bar sat a man. His name was Du Bai. If he had a brother, he would be called Shang Hai.

Confidentiality usually doesn't apply to those outside of an organization's influence, so it stands to reason that Zhang Mei is excluded.
"Yes, in short, only you, Master, Lian Xin, and... "Lian Lin pointed to herself, propping up her chin with her other hand: "Me. In short, you are protected. This had to be done to protect you from annoying people who think they can control the lives of geniuses."

As in the case of Xu Mei, when such geniuses as him appear, the entire cultivation world simultaneously experiences difficult times and good times at the same time.

There are many ways to make yellow snow, from the super harmless crushed frozen lemonade and just yellow dye on snow, to the super dangerous sulfur on snow, to the gross urinated snow. Clearly he is referring to a certain lustful variety of the last category.
"Away with dirty thoughts. I am pure and innocent, like yellow snow... no, I mean, like spring water."

Great-grandmother? When the gap is 10,000 years, you may as well call them "ancestor" or "progenitor". She is older than Stonehenge and maybe even Karahan Tepe, which existed before the close of the Mesolithic Period!
Not that Xie Qing was particularly surprised by this, as there was a big age difference. Xu Mei was old enough to be his great-grandmother, although he still felt uncomfortable when she was so indifferent.

What gun revolution? The modern firearm as we think of it only truly made bows obsolete at the end of the 1800s. Prior to that, it was only around 1500 that guns gained enough advantages to surpass bows, and that with the major drawback of being vulnerable to return fire. Age of Empires 2 does a great job of showing this, as only one unique unit, the Conquistador, uses the weapon, and it can be hard-countered by heavily armored units like Paladins and faster glass cannons like Saracen Mamelukes and Bulgarian Konniks. They can tank the first shots from guns before reaching the enemies and taking advantage of their slow attack speed.
He was the newbie helper for a reason, and Jake had never wielded weapons or studied much about them. His knowledge about them stemmed from history lessons, but most of it had been centered around the gun revolution anyway, so it wasn't much help.
