Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 151 Jokes and Riddles - Unfunny Jokes

Ma Zhaodi was the second one to look for Grandi. When they arrived at the children's residence, he realized that Grandi had to stay here and he needed to take care of the children.

Grandy couldn't take it away, so he went to find Mr. Freeze again.

"Are you going far away? How long will you be gone? I'm a little worried about the management of Nora Prison. Who should I hand over to?"

"Forget it, Freese, you should continue to watch over the prisoners in prison. After all, the prison is not safe without you."

Ma Zhaodi sighed. Batman had been searching for so long but still hadn't found a new backup prison guard. This was very un-Batman-like.

So he ran to find Batman.

"Wait, wait, what are you doing?"

Sergeant Gordon, with dark circles under his eyes, grabbed Ma Zhaodi, who rushed in and said, "Slow down, explain yourself first."

"I want to borrow your key. I need to go up to the rooftop to turn on the Batlight and find Batman."

Gordon's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "What big thing happened again?"

"It's nothing serious, I just have some personal matters that I want to ask him for help."

Ma Zhaodi's answer made him breathe a sigh of relief. This was a critical period and the entire police station was extremely busy. The old man really didn't want anything else to happen. He was as exhausted as Harvey.

"Then you'd better not go." He replied: "Batman said that he has something to do recently, and the patrol work in Gotham City has been handed over to Catwoman."

"There's such a thing? Where was he? And can Catwoman handle it all by herself? Why doesn't he go find the perverted wheelchair man?"

"He said the perverted wheelchair man's style of doing things was a bit... too cruel."

"Ftndp!" Ma Zhaodi was furious. "How dare he call others cruel!"

"Anyway, this is the situation." Inspector Gordon spread his hands. "Don't turn on the bat light when you have nothing to do. He said to wait until something serious happens before contacting him."

Ma Zhaodi had no choice but to run directly to Wayne Manor.

"Young Master Wayne has been very busy lately. He's still at the company and didn't even return to the manor last night." Although the butler Alfred said this, he still welcomed him into Wayne Manor. "If it weren't for your flower tea, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on."

"No, what is he busy with? He doesn't usually do any serious work."

"Ahem, Mr. Ma Zhaodi, please be polite."

Faced with Ah Fu's kind smile, Ma Zhaodi shut his mouth obediently. The old man seemed a little unhappy.

"It's about the Wayne Prison and the Gotham Rehabilitation Project. These two are being carried out simultaneously, and the workload is very heavy. I think it may take some time for the young master to adjust to this normal pace of life."

Ma Zhaodi had nothing to say.

“So, in the end, I still have to travel alone to work.”

After Ma Zhaodi finished packing, he opened his system panel after a long absence. It seemed that the last time he looked at the panel was several months ago.

"But if you think about it, at least I have a lot of abilities now."

【Asset Points: $153627
Panel: Primary mental resistance, primary combat proficiency, intermediate English proficiency, intermediate motorcycle driving proficiency, intermediate lock picking proficiency, intermediate swordsmanship proficiency, intermediate physical fitness enhancement, intermediate natural language proficiency, advanced cooking proficiency, advanced car driving proficiency, advanced stealth proficiency, advanced climbing proficiency, advanced tracking proficiency, advanced blowgun proficiency, advanced acting proficiency, advanced disguise proficiency, advanced computer proficiency, advanced firearms use proficiency, master wheelchair driving proficiency.

Items: Night wheelchair, immortal pumpkin lantern, pumpkin head cover with sanity, horn of abundance, eight-sided Han sword, two-piece hacker suit, eavesdropping and positioning lighter, assassin's blowpipe, portable garden (golden kettle, plant fertilizer*8, pesticide*10, phonograph, gardening gloves, flower pot*30, wheelbarrow), pumpkin, clover, frozen mushroom, ice shooter, sunflower, destruction mushroom, black and white double-sided coin.

Special skills: Enhanced cold resistance, deep sleep, group attack, I didn't kill anyone. 】

A number of skills in the skill panel have changed. Some of them were upgraded to high levels by him spending skill points, such as car driving proficiency; some were simply bought out directly, such as the disguise skill he used when he disguised himself as electrician Thomas.

The more special thing about it was the Basic Combat Mastery skill. He didn't buy it, but rather acquired it through months of training. While it wasn't very useful at the moment, it was still a small improvement. There was no other way around it; the time was too short. Training for a few months wasn't the same as training for years, or even a decade. Unfortunately, there were no low-level bureaus in Gotham City, and with the constant flow of events, there wasn't much time left for him to develop.

Looking at his own panel, Ma Zhaodi finally felt a little relieved. At least he now has some ability to protect himself, right?
It’s hard to say. This panel is certainly very powerful in other places, but if it is in Gotham - Ma Zhaodi feels that he will probably have to continue practicing.

【One minute left on your business trip. Please be prepared.】

The system prompt sounded, and Ma Zhaodi sat quietly waiting. He didn't need to prepare anything. Weapons, self-defense items, survival items - these were all in the inventory.

[Countdown in progress, five, four, three, two——]

【One】

The system suddenly emitted a faint white light, which then became brighter and brighter, making people dizzy. Immediately afterwards, a strange sense of impact struck Ma Zhaodi's mind.

He could not see anything in front of his eyes, and his thoughts suddenly came to a standstill.

[Heading to the business trip location——]

[Arrived at destination, confirming the world structure based on the timeline of individual "Ma Zhaodi".]

[Changes in the world's basic structure detected: "Super Time Stream" appears]

[Changes in the fundamental structure of the world have been detected: "Elemental Power"—the red of life, the green of all things, the black of decay, the ash of decay, the spirit of metal—appear.]

[Changes in the world's basic structure detected: The "Court of Owls" appears]

[Changes in the world's basic structure detected: "Barbatos" appears]

【detected】

Ma Zhaodi felt like she was half asleep and half awake.

He opened his eyes drowsily and looked around blankly. After several seconds, his mind became clear as if it had been pulled to the surface from the deep sea.

I could faintly hear a man's voice talking in my ears, and there was darkness all around.

"I'm Ma Zhaodi. Yes, I'm here on a business trip."

He looked up and around, and found himself standing behind a curtain, surrounded by a group of people with frightened faces. They were wearing formal suits, and some were even wearing ties. They were also standing behind the curtain with him, and seemed to be waiting to go on stage to perform.

The strange thing was that their eyes were fixed on the person in the spotlight on the stage, and they seemed to care nothing about the audience below.

No, there seems to be no audience in the audience.

Ma Zhaodi stuck his head out and finally saw rows of empty seats.

A performance without an audience?
No, Ma Zhaodi narrowed his eyes and found that there was a person on the stage watching the performance.

"That's enough." The man stood in the darkness outside the spotlight and raised his gun impatiently at the actor in the spotlight: "This joke is just as boring."

"No, sir, please—"

bang!

The bullet went out and the actor fell to the ground.

The figure in the dark waved his hand and looked in the direction of Ma Zhaodi.

"Okay, next one."
