Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 68 Difficult Choice

The basic rewards remain the same: Harvey Dent's friendship, plus a physical enhancement worth $100,000 worth of asset points, and finally a save forward function.

The rewards for this branch of the quest aren't exactly generous, but they can at least be described as fantastic. Typically, this moment is the protagonist's pivotal moment of rapid ascension and brilliance; the moment when he seizes an opportunity with immense perseverance, wisdom, and luck, transforming into a dragon in the ocean; the first step in the legendary rise of a powerful sage.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that. Goodbye."

The moment Ma Zhaodi saw the mission branch, he hesitated for about half a second, then decisively slammed on the brakes and drove back the way he came.

"Stop it, bro. Look at all the rewards for your missions. Do you think I can get this mission right now?"

"It's not like I haven't seen XX Horror and XX Paradise. Is that a medium-difficulty mission? That's a mountain of gold that could crush me to death. The risk of the mission is equal to the reward. With the reward for this job, who exactly do you want me to face? Is he really Two-Face?"

"I won't do it. There are plenty of people who will! Goodbye!"

"This branch line option has a limited time limit. Do you confirm your rejection?"

"Anyway, it's absolutely impossible for me to work, at least not today. I can only make porridge in the porridge stall, help the children, and make some money."

The Romans could still handle an apartment filled with thugs, but the strange atmosphere revealed by this side quest made the risk ceiling and impact consequences of the two options unknown. Ma Zhaodi weighed the pros and cons. Since he didn't suffer from insomnia, then losing a music box was actually not a big problem.

By making porridge for the children at Christmas, you can actually make more money.

Although he thought so in his heart, he did not refuse immediately, but clicked on the task introduction - after all, it was just a glance, and getting some information would not cost anyone a fortune.

"A Little Light of Christmas

Mission Description: When did Harvey Dent, Gotham City's bright knight, die? When did his paranoid and resolute dual personality emerge? No one knows - or perhaps Harvey Dent has always been dying.

Death every time a member of the Falcone family remains at large;
Killed by the hands of every colleague in the Procuratorate who colluded with the mafia;
Every sigh of someone who died after years of hard work but was helpless against the dark web of Gotham City;

He died in anger because his family was bombed, his home was destroyed, but he couldn't make the Irish gang pay the price;

He died because of every minute and every second that he worked hard for this city but saw no hope.

Harvey Dent died on the battlefield fighting for Gotham; and Two-Face emerged every time Harvey was disappointed with Gotham.

Notes: Named on a stormy Tuesday, married on a dreary Wednesday, fell ill on a mild Thursday, became ill on a sunny Friday, died on a joyous Saturday, and was buried on a dry and hot Sunday.

Status: Incomplete (0/1)

Reward: There is one at the beginning of this chapter, which is not mentioned here

Branch exclusive reward: Light for the Knight of Light"

"." Ma Zhaodi sighed, secretly hating himself for having to read this damn mission briefing.

"Prosecutor Harvey, you are truly a Knight of Light, a great man, a noble one," he thought silently. "But I'm sorry, my abilities are quite limited. The difficulty of this mission is truly beyond my ability to handle."

I've already helped him once, Ma Zhaodi kept repeating in his mind while speeding, I've already helped him once, I've already helped him once. Batman has failed to stop him from becoming Two-Face in countless worlds - why should I?

"Ma Zhaodi! You're back! So soon!"

Jason's voice, from a distance, jolted Ma Zhaodi out of his reverie. The kid, wearing a tiny red Santa hat and clutching a pistol, ran over, looking incredibly happy. The warm atmosphere even eased Ma Zhaodi's worries a bit. Wait, a gun?

"Oh my god, who the hell gave you that gun?! Put that thing down!"

"The model Chief Inspector Gordon gave me! He also said that when I grow up, I will definitely become a good police officer who punishes evil and promotes good!"

Ma Zhaodi looked at Jason, who was looking up with a proud look on his face, and subconsciously reached out and patted him on the shoulder. At this moment, Jason didn't look like the unrestrained Red Hood in the future at all, but more like a child with dreams.

"Then you have to work hard. When I was little, I told my mom that I wanted to be a scientist."

"and after?"

"It turned out that scientists have very little time for fun."

"What about the police?"

“Justice has no holidays.”

“I suddenly don’t want to be a police officer anymore.”

Teasing Jason made Ma Zhaodi feel a little more relaxed. He returned to the pot, took the wooden spoon from the volunteer, and continued stirring.

"Thank you so much for being willing to spend this Christmas with the children."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." The volunteer waved his hand. "You've been cooking the porridge, and Mr. Harvey donated money to buy them winter clothes and party food. We're just helping out. It's nothing."

When Ma Zhaodi heard this, the smile on his face froze.

"Oh, speaking of Mr. Harvey, he was at the soup kitchen today."

Speaking of this topic, Jason next to him suddenly patted his head, and began to feel around on his body as if he suddenly remembered something, while still explaining something to Ma Zhaodi.

"He left a letter for you, but you were out distributing porridge to other children, so he left it with me. I almost forgot about it. I'm sorry."

Ma Zhaodi casually tried to comfort Jason, but his heart wasn't at peace. Why had Harvey Dent suddenly left him a letter? On the surface, they should have had very little interaction.

He opened the envelope and took out a piece of letter and a key.

"To Santa Claus
A few days ago, I heard that there was a Santa Claus who opened a soup kitchen in the East District of Gotham to provide porridge to homeless children. Out of curiosity, I did some research and found out that this Santa Claus's house was temporarily burned down and he was homeless.

My wife and I discussed it and decided to do something for the kind Santa Claus. We happened to have some insurance money from house damage, so we rented a small house in Audisburg for a year.

This is the children's return gift to Santa Claus, please don't refuse it. If you like, we would also like to invite you to spend this Christmas at my home.

Note: In Gotham, such selfless kindness is extremely precious. It reminded me of a mysterious friend, so I did a little research - the owner of the car shop said that your cross is very beautiful. Please rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut.

Your forever friend
Harvey Dent"
