Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 959 Dark work
"Hello, Lady Red Spider. I'm here on behalf of the League of Legends to ask you some questions." The one who knocked on the door of the Night Watch Office was a goblin. Dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, it had clearly integrated well into the modern world. Because better integration meant easier profit-making, the goblins were very motivated, which also motivated other races from other worlds, such as the troll driver and orc bodyguard who drove it.

As for why the League of Legends is represented by a goblin, the reason is quite simple.

Goblins who possess otherworldly technology and extraordinary heritage are extremely popular not only in ASEAN countries but also in any other country, and thus quickly become a powerful conglomerate.

Although headquartered in an island nation, the goblins keenly sensed where their paradise was. After ten years of development, the goblin conglomerate has infiltrated every aspect of the alliance, including not only the finance and commerce that goblins love most, but also healthcare, retail, prisons, agriculture, and more. It can be said that the people of the alliance are truly blessed.

In fact, the zero-dollar purchases that are almost legal elsewhere, thanks to the special regulations signed with the alliance, are not protected in the goblin industry, so a large number of zero-dollar purchase enthusiasts have been sent to prison.

As everyone knows, in the Alliance, not only prisons, but even the army is not free. So, the kind-hearted goblins set up prison farms to allow these prisoners to be self-reliant and to carry out labor reform.

History has indeed been a boomerang, and these zero-dollar shopping enthusiasts have returned to the place where their ancestors worked to experience life again.

As for healthcare, even the people of the alliance feel uneasy, since it's an open secret that illicit drugs are mixed in with pharmaceuticals, and every medical bill is a deadly weapon.

Even the goblins were amazed after gaining a deep understanding of the Alliance Capital's series of operations, and then they carried them forward.

The consequence is that the number of immigrants to the Alliance has increased from three million to four million per year. Combined with natural births within the country, this has barely kept the population from declining, but the color of the races has become increasingly dark, and there are many more non-human races.

When Yan Xu learned about this, he was speechless. It was like a mini-Tokyo every year.

The return of Red Spider, or rather, her resurrection, did not cause much of a stir in League of Legends. After all, this is an era of extraordinary rise, where miracles are not in short supply.

However, her actions during this period indicate that she will not let this go, which has made League of Legends somewhat unhappy, since eating the offspring of heroes is a tradition of the League.

The problem is, as a veteran B-class superhero who has done plenty of dirty work, Starscream is no rookie. Defeating her would require at least two or three other superheroes of the same level, and capturing or killing her would be even more difficult.

Moreover, although she killed a lot of people during this period, because she was an experienced killer, she not only acted very secretly, but also often caused disappearances and accidents. Therefore, the cost of suppressing the matter was not high. This led the League of Legends to be unwilling to escalate the matter, because the cost would be higher than the compensation.

Red Spider knew that too much of a good thing could be bad. On the surface, he was aggressive and relentless, but in reality, his words only contained two words: more money.

The goblins were no pushovers either; in the end, Red Spider only got 70%, but he did gain special privileges, or rather, the qualification to accept certain missions.

The Hero Dispatch Center is dedicated to doing shady jobs for the Alliance's top elites. Almost all of its missions are clandestine, so the requirements for its executors are very high; simply being good at fighting and killing is not enough.

Coincidentally, Starscream is a veteran B-class hero who has carried out similar missions. If he hadn't been involved in that incident, he would probably still be active.

The best part is that she has just made a comeback, has little fame, and few people know her, making her perfect for doing shady work.

Red Spider didn't hide this from her, because she knew very well who was in charge in the team.

After Yan Xu nodded, the Night Demon Squad began preparing for their first mission: to hunt down Thumb Guy.

Thumb Guy isn't the internet celebrity Jason likes who welds steel beams with his penis; he's the hero Thumb Man. Thumb Guy's abilities are similar to Ant-Man's, except he relies on his own superpowers and can only shrink to the size of a thumb.

However, while shrinking, he also gained a higher body density. In addition, since the physical abilities of superhumans are mostly far superior to those of ordinary people, he can use himself like a large-caliber bullet to pierce through enemies and walls.

If it weren't for his slow reaction time and poor jumping ability, he wouldn't be just a C-level hero.

Because his abilities are stuck at level C, and it's difficult to shoot decent videos after shrinking, his only endorsement is for a certain umbrella, and the advertisement shows him jumping around inside it, but he can't break through the umbrella's blockade no matter what.

Later, because he was dressed in black, the advertisement was sued for discriminating against them for having children indiscriminately, knowing only the mother and not the father, and other reasons. In the end, the matter was dropped, and he became a complete black hole in endorsements.

Logically speaking, with his abilities, he could have lived a decent life as long as he stayed and was a garrison hero. But everyone knows how bad Black people are at managing money, and he couldn't control his urges and nose, indulging in gambling and drug use, which resulted in bankruptcy.

The League's credit system has never been merciful; it's blatant exploitation and oppression, showcasing the law of the jungle to the fullest extent. Even superheroes who fall into it can't escape its clutches.

Superheroes can't turn their lives around because they have to worry about their image and words, but supervillains don't have to. So, in a moment of ruthlessness, Thumb went straight to the dark side and became the supervillain Black Bullet.

In fact, many supervillains are created this way. After all, if there are only positive characters and no villains, no matter how well the character design is, it won't attract many people. So League of Legends even has supervillain agents in the background who are responsible for creating them.

Reality isn't a comic book, where the white is so righteous and the black is so evil; in reality, it's all about profit.

Therefore, in order to maximize profits, a super villain is indispensable.

Moreover, to be a positive character, you at least need a righteous face. If you have a face full of scars, you look like a wanted criminal. No matter how much effort you put in, you can't establish that persona. You might as well be a super villain. You may have a bad reputation, but you won't lack money, and you'll be more free and more unscrupulous.

So Thumb Guy is just changing tracks and is still in the League of Legends system. After a while, we'll refine his character, for example, by making up a reason for his fall from grace, his psychological journey to becoming a supervillain, and then assigning him to be a superhero as an opponent. That'll do the trick.

If it generates enough buzz, it could even be made into a movie to attract even more viewers.

These all have mature systems and strategies, so League of Legends is not afraid that heroes will completely lose control after they fall from grace.

After all, supervillains aren't super savages. They burn, kill, and plunder for their own enjoyment. As long as they maintain close cooperation with the League of Legends, they can enjoy everything in the safe zone, even hiring a few rookie heroes to drink and have sex with.

However, League of Legends overlooked one problem: fools cannot understand these things.

After Thumb Bro turned to the dark side, he believed he should break all constraints and grow stronger, so he targeted the league's top brass and caused quite a stir.

Because the strategy is not yet complete, Thumb Guy is still nominally a registered hero in League of Legends, which puts League of Legends in a very passive position, forcing them to clean up the mess for the other side.

How League of Legends cleans up its mess is none of Yan Xu's business; their mission is to kill that idiot who messed everything up.
