Not to mention the consensus reached between the repeater and the New Humanity Organization, after the mysterious cosplay puppet was blown to pieces with one punch, the poisonous gas that filled the cinema and the blockade of the door by unknown forces ended.
Not paying attention to the movements of the new humans who were also mad, the audience fled the movie theater where the fire was still spreading.
Not intending to go to the theater with other viewers to protest and claim compensation, Chen Zhou silently took Wolong and Fengxia back to his river view cabin.
Whether it was a special city or some other reason, the rolling water vapor on the Gotham River caused the area around his home to be often surrounded by heavy fog, making it difficult to see things dozens of meters away.
A group of people who got off the bus north of Chinatown just walked in the mist, discussing the effects of the transformer in the movie theater in Asta's language.
"The effect of the transformer is a bit unsatisfactory. The speed of casting buff spells on the holder is too slow, so it is easy to be killed during the transformation animation."
And energy consumption is also an issue.
The "Tears of the Goddess" that he picked up from passers-by last year was used by him as the energy storage part of the transformer. This level of magical material that can store enough energy means that this thing cannot be mass-produced.
"It's just a toy, it's more convenient for you to cast spells directly on yourself."
Chen Zhou felt complicated after hearing this. A transformer of this level could no longer help him, but even if he wanted to improve it, there was no way to improve it.
Jerry couldn't understand the other person's dedication to making toys for himself. This thing was more suitable for Lily to play with.
"When will the magical girl version be released?" Shall I take a chance to find a target? 』
"Come on, I'll slightly optimize the function and the way it takes effect."
Compared to Kamen Rider, this kind of worthless toy is more suitable for being transformed into a fancy magical girl version of a transformer.
However, before Chen Zhou could return home and immerse himself in research on making magic toys, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit and several fierce-looking guards waiting at the door of his house through the fog.
I encountered such an incident at *** Paradise during the day, and encountered a similar ghost while watching a movie in the evening. As a result, there was still someone waiting for me when I got home.
Life in Gotham is too colorful.
He thought that Amei, who had just arrived, wouldn't get into too much trouble for two days. Chen Zhou quickly guessed that the other party was a gang member from Dixon Pier in the north.
And this is indeed the case.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Sergey, the manager of Dixon Freight Company."
Facing the middle-aged man who came to his living room and handed over his business card, Chen subconsciously felt that this was a Soviet name.
"I'm really sorry. My porters caused you a lot of trouble last night. I'm here to express my apology to you on their behalf today."
As he spoke, the freight manager who called himself Sergey waved, and one of the entourage behind him stepped forward and placed the suitcase he had been carrying on the table.
What comes into view after opening it are stacks of banknotes.
Seeing this, Lily suddenly became excited, and her tail, which was covered by the illusion, began to wag.
Although this kind of paper money is completely worthless to dragons, Lily has fully understood its function of being able to be exchanged for gold.
It's money!
"The trucking company is quite profitable."
Chen Zhou didn't care about the money, but was more interested in the manager's purpose today: "Are you also a person who has awakened superpowers?"
"A little bit, I can only transfer the pain of others to myself." Sergey shrugged.
It's not a treatment, it's just a transfer of pain. It's really a useless superpower.
Therefore, Sergey did not deliberately show off his super powers.
"Pain transfer, a level 2 mutator power, is a relatively powerful energy system among psychics."
The power department is close to the magic school, but there are only 6 types.
Hearing this, Chen Zhou was thoughtful. Blue Star had only just been exposed to the supernatural and had reached level 2. This psychic seemed to be quite talented.
"You didn't come to me just to apologize, right?"
"That's natural." Sergey smiled knowingly, "I would like to invite Mr. Chen to work in the freight company."
Freight company... This is naturally just a cover.
Sergei's true identity is the leader of the Dolphin Gang, and he has been engaged in drug and human trafficking for a long time.
After the supernatural phenomenon occurred, he gradually became aware of his unique superpowers, and used money, power and superpowers to win over many similar superpowers.
They have no intention of seeing themselves as a new human being determined to rule the world like the NewTap organization. Their only purpose is to make money.
Many superpowers can produce miraculous effects that modern technology cannot achieve as long as they are used properly.
It would be too boring to use such convenient power to rule the world. The most important thing is to improve your life from the side.
"I inquired, Mr. Chen, that you are a clerk at the embassy. The salary of such an ordinary job can actually only meet the most basic daily needs in Gotham, but with your ability, you can definitely have better development.
"If you are willing to work in a freight company, your salary can be at least doubled first. Even the visa issue can be solved for you through my connections.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. This box of money will be regarded as my apology. I hope Mr. Chen can give me a chance to make friends with you."
After all, Sergey could at most find out that the other party was working in the embassy, and could not further confirm whether Chen Zhou was a special worker sent by another country... In a sense, yes.
Seeing that the leader of the Dolphin Gang had a good attitude, Chen Zhou did not make things difficult for him.
"Is the purpose of your gang just to make money? It's a bit unambitious. It should be the underground world that rules Gotham City first, right?"
Sergey was speechless: "From the current point of view, superpowers cannot be compared with modern weapons. Too much fanfare will only touch the sensitive nerves of government departments. We will not consider other things until our superpowers have become stronger in a few years." Is something bad?"
By then, they have no shortage of money and their superpowers have been strengthened. It will be much easier to consider pursuing a career as a super criminal like in comics and movies.
Chen Zhou was noncommittal. By then, he might have gone to other worlds like Faerûn or Strhaveven.
"Well, Mr. Sergey, I can accept your invitation, but I have a condition."
Seeing that the superpower was stronger than him, Sergey's eyes suddenly lit up and he wanted to hear the other person's specific conditions.
"If you want me to join, I will have to be the leader of the Dolphin Gang from today on."
Ignoring the gang leader whose face turned dark after hearing what he said, Chen Zhou continued to express his opinion.
"If I were to be the gang leader, I would first merge with other gangs in the dock, then unify Gotham's underground world, then compete with the NewTap organization, and finally replace them to rule the old humanity!"
Sergey was dumbfounded: "So don't you think this step is too big?"
