Chapter 16 Bruce Wayne arrives at his loyal Gotham
feel good.
Zheng En then opened the remaining purple cards.
This is a "T"-shaped prop, with two leaves connected by a stem in the middle and a connector at the bottom.
Below are three large characters – Bamboo Dragonfly.
Below the bamboo dragonfly are line annotations.
[This is a futuristic gadget originating from a cat-shaped robot, but it seems to have been modified by someone, and its use is no longer limited to humans. Perhaps you could try placing it somewhere else?]
In an instant, a whole bunch of random thoughts flashed through Zheng En's mind, like flying up while holding an umbrella handle, riding a bicycle next to an airplane while pedaling, flying a house over the sea, wanting to go to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun...
Wait, wait, why are they singing?
Zheng Enshen instinctively braked; this was going too far. Gotham wasn't that chaotic yet, and doing something like this would easily draw criticism.
The beginner's guide ends here, and a message pops up on the panel.
[All procedures for beginners have been completed]
According to the agreement, players will delegate system privileges to their mentor, "Batman."
Players can file complaints or reports through the mailbox if they have any objections. This mailbox is directly connected to the system's central control and is not subject to any external interference.
[Hereby, the system wishes all players and mentors the best of luck and that all their wishes come true.]
"what?"
Zheng En sprang out of bed with a somersault. "Batman, what's going on?"
Although he didn't have any issues with Batman, it seemed the system was leaving him to his own devices. He had thought the system was the system and Batman was Batman, and he had one in each hand.
"Just like the message you just saw, after the newbie period, I will take over the responsibility for you from the system."
Zheng En didn't scrutinize the system closely, but Batman wasn't; he was always cautious and suspicious. If the signed "Mentor Agreement" had a physical copy, he would have worn those pages out of paper.
"The system has limited influence over each universe, and the environments of different universes are complex and diverse. In order to improve the player's survival rate, it will select a guide through certain judgments to assist the player in completing the task."
That's quite thoughtful.
This change was insignificant to Zheng En. Although he felt that Batman hadn't said everything, the fact that the other person was Batman made everything make sense again.
His suspiciousness was as famous as his reliability.
Even though he and Superman are hailed as the world's best partners, it doesn't stop him from secretly devising a whole bunch of countermeasures for Superman, almost to the point of turning him into a watch.
He treated Superman like this, what more could Jung Eun possibly ask for?
The old bat can be truly infuriating when he's angry, but he can also be truly reliable when he's reliable.
The clock in the room pointed to twelve, it was already late at night, but as Jung Eun lay in bed, she could still see the colorful light and shadow reflected outside the window.
The neon lights on the nearby streets are a variety of colors, and further away are skyscrapers and countless lights.
A new day has begun, but some people are still stuck in yesterday and unwilling to go to sleep.
Jung Eun closed her eyes, and the neon lights outside the window remained lit until dawn.
As the sun rose above the horizon and dawn broke, Zheng En woke up.
Perhaps due to the sudden change in environment, he hasn't had a good night's sleep since he transmigrated. He often wakes up in the middle of the night, has many dreams, and is exhausted when he gets up, but can't remember anything.
Well, at least now he doesn't have to worry about fellow patients suddenly attacking him.
Zheng En yawned, opened the panel to check, and saw that the green bar under the chibi figure had only recovered to about 80%, probably because he hadn't slept well.
Several daily tasks were piled up there: [Having a place to stay], [Making contact information], [Three meals a day], [Transportation]...
Unlike the others, the "Travel Issue" is shown as completed. Zheng En guessed it was because she drew the Bamboo Dragonfly yesterday, and upon checking, it was indeed the case.
[Daily Task: Transportation]
Bicycles, motorcycles, cars... I advise you not to buy anything too expensive. In Gotham, vehicles of transportation change hands frequently, especially in the East Side.
[Mission Reward: $50 USD, 0.1 Simulation Points]
Status: Completed
Flying with a bamboo dragonfly on its head seems like a good idea—convenient and quick—but it's best not to do it during the day. It could also be a good way to test the average gun ownership rate in Gotham.
[Task Reward (Settled): $50 USD, 0.1 Demo Points]
Based on the task description, the bamboo dragonfly probably needs to be used in conjunction with the Golden Bell Shield.
Zheng En hasn't decided how to use this prop yet. During their earlier chat, he and Jason agreed to meet again today, asking the other party to set aside a day for him to be his guide.
He had considered asking Batman for help, but while Batman knew Gotham, he might not be referring to this particular Gotham.
Batman bluntly stated, "The information I have might mislead you; it would be better to choose a local."
This is also one of the reasons why Jung Eun chose Jason.
Zheng En woke up too early. When she came out of the room, there were hardly any people in the hotel. Only the black lady at the front desk was awake, eating and reading the newspaper with a sandwich in her hand.
Jung Eun: "I need a breakfast and a newspaper."
When faced with his request, the Black woman simply shook her head; the hotel offered neither breakfast nor newspapers.
In response, Jung Eun chose to use her financial power.
Five minutes later, he came upstairs with a freshly made sandwich from the kitchenette in his mouth and a newspaper in his hand.
"It feels so good to have money," Jung Eun, who had been poor for many years, couldn't help but exclaim.
Having not yet bought a cell phone, he decided to borrow a newspaper to check the current situation. When he returned to his room and opened it, the front page headline was that Bruce Wayne, who had been abroad for many years, had returned to his loyal Gotham.
As soon as Wayne returned, he frequented various high-society banquets. Cameras with long lenses peered into the lobby, capturing the man's unrestrained smile and his arm around the waist of a female companion.
Looking down, the woman in his arms was clearly a different person, with lipstick marks on her face and neck, looking every bit the playboy.
The news devoted a large portion to Bruce Wayne's love life, and Zheng En scrolled down, finding some other information in the gaps.
"There's a weirdo dressed like a giant bat who does heroic deeds at night."
The very first sentence presents the reporter's perspective. She earnestly explored everyone's opinions on the "shadow in the night." Some jokingly said it was a great artist who had escaped from a theater, while others thought it was a mental patient who had escaped from Arkham.
Many people think this is nonsense, an urban legend made up by drug addicts or drunkards, and they scoff at the author's views.
"Seriously, someone staying up all night fighting crime in Gotham? Are you kidding me?"
The passersby interviewed found it amusing, and there were various opinions. The report briefly listed a few categories before finally interviewing a person who claimed to have witnessed the dark figure.
Those who received his help called him Batman.
