Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 98 April
That night, only three people did not have dreams.

The Bat circled in the sky above Gotham, gazing at the city that had completely fallen asleep for the first time. On this night, there was no crime, no fighting, and nothing to do, yet he still circled in the sky, carefully observing every corner of the city, until dawn broke, and then he disappeared in the first rays of morning light.

And an elder, as usual, silently guarded the bat cave and accompanied him through this quiet night.

As for the third person, it is Ma Zhaodi.

He did not wear a black robe, nor did he carry a shovel or sapling. He walked alone to the Gordon family, the Harvey family, the Clinton family, and the shelter he and the animals had built for Grundy in the forest to make sure they were all sleeping peacefully.

Finally, he came to the edge of the woods in the suburban cemetery, looked at the small trees shining in the moonlight, and stood there silently.

He had wanted to do this for a long time. When he put on the burqa, he was a tree planter, but in fact, he wanted to stand among the crowd, join the moment of silence, and feel a little sad for the poor people sleeping in the cemetery.

Perhaps, I am not fit to be a saint. Ma Zhaodi thought so and looked up at the moonlight shining through the clouds. There seemed to be no shadow of bats.

"I wonder if that bat had a good dream tonight."

The next day, everyone in Gotham City woke up feeling a little melancholy and surprised, because they found that the dream they had last night seemed to be the same one.

Gordon and Harvey both remembered what they met in their dreams; the members of the Falcone family also remembered that in their dreams they did not go to work, but went home to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with their families; the families of the deceased also clearly remembered those who returned in their dreams.

After that day, the townspeople went to the woods beside the cemetery to pay their respects as usual, only to find that the tree planter had never appeared again. He was like an illusion, a shadow, a non-existent person. Only the small trees that remained in their place proved that this experience was not a dream.

Everyone thought it was the appearance of Saint Patrick, but no one dared to ask the children about it. In fact, ever since the St. Patrick's Day in the dream, the status of these children in Gotham has become somewhat unusual. Falcone and Maroni have begun to use their own land in the city to build real, long-term shelters for them - and the requirement is that they hope to continue this ceremony.

Anyway, there will always be homeless children in Gotham City in the future.

Jason had no objection to this. Although these houses were still not theirs in the legal sense, it was a rare good thing that a large number of homeless children could finally stop huddling in dilapidated and leaky ruins or abandoned shacks.

What's more important is that the Gotham Police Department previously had a very detailed record of homeless children, and someone has been eyeing that list recently because many people have gradually noticed that the health of these children has improved significantly.

So many healthy, well-developed children are a treasure in themselves. Whether it's human trafficking or organ trafficking, anyone who gets this list and uses it to do something will be able to make a huge profit. What's more, they might be able to ask them about the secret of how everyone recovered in just one winter.

And now, no one dared to attack them anymore. Santa Claus might be a legend, but Saint Patrick truly performed miracles, and the guns of Roman and Maroni were right in front of them. Most importantly, everyone in Gotham witnessed what those children did as helpers of the tree planters. In a sense, these children, along with the saints and those mournings, became an inviolable part of the world.

No one wanted to risk the wrath of all of Gotham by attacking them. Everyone knew that it would be these children who would plant trees for the dead in the future, and that this tradition might continue - and people hoped that it would continue.
-
Time passed quickly as the moon rose and set. Gotham City finally woke up from that green dream, and people returned to their daily lives that they had to face.

Ma Zhaodi happened to organize and upgrade his panel and skills during this period. It had been quite some time since he arrived in Gotham. During these days, he often took time to practice shooting, parkour, and physical exercise. Although the actual effect of the practice was not strong, it did give him a reason to upgrade his skills. In the eyes of some people, the reason why he made rapid progress in these skills was all due to these practices.

But in fact, Ma Zhaodi is just an ordinary person. He does not have the superheroes or super criminals who can improve their abilities at a super fast speed, nor can he master so many skills in a short period of time.

In addition, in order to prevent his pretend magic from really touching certain taboos in the world, he even went to the bookstore and bought a few books on mysticism - not necessarily to know what can be done, but to have a little understanding of what cannot be done.

But Ma Zhaodi didn't know that those books, which sounded so serious, actually had nothing to do with real magic.

Finally, regarding the repair and improvement of the Zen Garden, although it only costs $10,000 in asset points to buy the garden in an emergency, the subsequent cultivation and improvement of facilities will indeed consume a lot of asset points. If it were not for the friendly sponsorship of the Falcone family, Ma Zhaodi would most likely be in a state of zero assets now.

Asset Points: $10627
Panel: Intermediate English Proficiency, Intermediate Motorcycle Driving Proficiency, Intermediate Tracking Proficiency, Intermediate Lockpicking Proficiency, Intermediate Swordsmanship Proficiency, Intermediate Physical Fitness Enhancement, Intermediate Blowgun Proficiency, Intermediate Natural Language Proficiency, Advanced Wheelchair Driving Proficiency, Advanced Cooking Proficiency, Advanced Car Driving Proficiency, Advanced Firearms Use Proficiency, Advanced Stealth Proficiency, Advanced Climbing Proficiency

Items: Will-O-Wan Wheelchair, Eternal Pumpkin Lantern, Sanity Pumpkin Headgear, Horn of Plenty, Eight-Sided Han Sword, Hacker Two-Piece Set, Eavesdropping Location Lighter, Snowman Crystal Ball Music Box, Assassin's Blowpipe, Portable Garden (Golden Kettle, Plant Fertilizer*8, Pesticide*10, Phonograph, Gardening Gloves, Mushroom Garden, Aquarium, Flower Pots*20), Pumpkin*2, Frozen Mushroom*1, Ice Shooter*1, Destruction Mushroom*1, Sunflower*10
There are range-type kettles with unlimited water, fertilizers for plants, pesticides, phonographs, etc. The mushroom garden and aquarium are two new spaces that can be used to place fungi and aquatic plants.

The pumpkin shield is used to save your life, the frozen mushroom is used to control the entire field, the combat assistance is the ice shooter, and the sunflower is used to produce sunlight. It can be used directly to purchase plants that have already been purchased once with asset points.

As for the Destruction Mushroom, it costs the most asset points, but it is also the most powerful one. If possible, Ma Zhaodi is reluctant to use it - because its performance in the game really looks like a nuclear bomb.

In this way, time unknowingly came to April.

Today is April 1st, April Fools' Day.
