Chapter 329 Using a Billion to Get Closer to People - Batman

Du Mu and the penguin noticed the intruder at the same time.

Under the dim light of the remaining indoor lights, a tall, dark figure emerged from the shadows.

The person who came was wearing a half-mask, covering the upper half of their face, only revealing their sharply defined chin.

The mask has two pointed corners that stick up, making it look like a bat demon lurking in the darkness. The person standing there exudes a strong sense of oppression without even moving.

[NPC: Bruce Wayne]

Codename: Batman

【Favourability: 10】

[Review: DC's strongest overpowered character, Gotham's idol, a Kryptonian with a net worth of billions, Superman's external brain, the world's greatest detective, and the universe's most powerful knight]

The Dark Knight of Gotham, Batman!

Even without the information bar provided by the game system, Du Mu could recognize the other party's identity at a glance.

This man is the most popular top star in the DC Universe, and is considered one of the two giants of DC, along with Superman.

However, compared to that Boy Scout who wore his underwear on the outside, Batman's status in DC is very special.

If Superman is DC's son, then Batman is DC's father.

Superman:

'

Unlike other superheroes, Batman is just an ordinary human being.

He doesn't have any fancy superpowers, just a lot of money; his fighting skills are all he relies on.

A sharp mind, and the assistance of various cutting-edge technological equipment.

Yet, it is precisely this mortal man who strikes fear into the hearts of many supervillains and even superheroes.

The reason is simple: because he is Baxter... cough cough, because he is a cheater.

In the world of DC, there is a saying that goes like this.

You can fight Batman, but never challenge Batman to a duel.

You never know how many plans he has prepared to deal with you.

Even if one plan fails, he still has Plan B, Plan C, Plan D...

With these contingency plans, the bat has defeated countless opponents who were far stronger than itself.

For example, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and so on, are all his defeated opponents.

Don't ask why you only knocked down your teammates.

In short, a well-prepared Batman is someone even Superman would fear.

Not only that, Batman also has all sorts of outrageous abilities.

He possesses peak human physical abilities, is proficient in nearly a hundred martial arts styles, and is also a scientist with a wide range of interests, having studied physics, biology, engineering, theology, and more.

He is proficient in dozens of languages, and can even communicate fluently in some alien languages.

His hacking skills are top-notch; he can even implant viruses into a humanoid Skynet like Cyborg.

Don't ask why he implanted the virus into his teammates.

In short, there is almost no skill that Batman doesn't know, and he has more skills than Du Mu, the player.

Even more outrageous is that Batman has mastered almost all of these skills to the maximum level; any one of them is at a master level.

All of this is thanks to Batman's hard work and an indestructible liver.

Although Du Mu was just joking with the Penguin, saying that Batman must be a rich man who idles away his time, otherwise why would he have time to beat up criminals every night?

But in reality, the reason Batman has so much time is because he only sleeps less than four hours a day, and the remaining twenty hours are spent working non-stop. It's no exaggeration to call him a super hard worker. With this kind of relentless work schedule, even people from South Korea would have to say "awesome!"

Even Du Mu, a player who often stays up all night cultivating immortality, is ashamed of his own inferiority.

"Batman!"

Just as Du Mu was sizing up Batman, the Penguin next to him suddenly cried out and instinctively pulled Du Mu in front of him.

"6

'

Du Mu was speechless, looking at the Penguin with disdain: "Seriously, Little QQ, why do you become such a coward when you see Batman? Where's your dignity as the King of Gotham?"

The penguin chuckled twice: "I forgot to tell you, I'm not only allergic to bullets, I'm also allergic to bats."

Every time he encounters Batman, Batman asks him all sorts of questions, and if he doesn't cooperate, he gets a beating.

Sometimes, if the other party went too far, he would simply black out and pass out. When he woke up, he would already be in a hospital bed. The ward at Gotham Central Hospital had practically become his second home.

It's fortunate that the penguins have a solid financial foundation and can withstand such a turmoil.

If it were any other criminal, they would have been beaten to the point of being killed long ago.

Because of the muscle memory developed from being beaten up, Penguin's fear of Batman has been growing day by day. Now, just seeing the image of Batman makes his whole body ache.

How can you not have an allergic reaction like this?

Batman stood there, watching the two people in front of him sing and dance, his brows furrowing slightly beneath his mask.

What he was seeing was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Just recently, Gordon contacted him, saying that the Penguin had kidnapped a Gotham Police Department officer.

Batman happened to be facing a problem recently and needed to get some information out of the Penguin, so he rushed over.

To everyone's surprise, the scene of Du Mu being tortured that they had imagined did not occur. Instead, the two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

Batman processed the situation in just 0.001 seconds.

He spoke in a deliberately hoarse voice, "Penguin, you've kidnapped a Gotham police officer. Hand him over immediately."

The penguin got anxious as soon as it heard that.

He was all too familiar with this opening line.

Every time, Batman would just announce his crimes, then beat him up with a legitimate reason, and then interrogate him for the information he wanted.

He's gone through this process countless times.

"Bullshit! I just invited Officer Du Mu over for a cup of tea and a chat. You're slandering me!"

After saying that, the penguin quickly looked at Du Mu, his eyes pleading, "Officer Du Mu, please say something!"

Du Mu nodded: "That's right, that's exactly it."

Batman slowly stepped forward, his gaze landing on Du Mu's face, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you haven't been threatened by the Penguin?"

The penguin's lips twitched violently a few times.

He almost got shot in the head by Du Mu just now. Who threatened whom here?

"Sure."

Du Mu patted the penguin man on the shoulder and said cheerfully, "I had a great chat with Little QQ just now, didn't I?"

The penguin nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "That's right, that's right!"

Du Mu suddenly changed the subject: "But we've already finished talking. I see you still have things to discuss, so I won't disturb you any longer."

He could tell at a glance that Batman was here for the Penguin tonight, and had no interest in being caught in the middle as a spectator, so he left first.

Batman simply stared at him silently, without saying a word.

Du Mu remained completely calm.

He's a superhero with a justice rating of nearly four digits. He's brought down countless supervillains, making him a true nemesis of evil.

Even if Batman couldn't harm a righteous person like him, he strode towards the door, passing by Batman without pausing for a moment.

Sure enough, Batman didn't stop him.

Just as he brushed past me, I turned my head slightly and followed his back for a few seconds.

Although Batman has many questions in his mind, he is not in a hurry. Gotham City has never lacked kind people, and he believes that someone will soon answer his questions.

Glug!

The penguin swallowed hard, a sudden chill running down his spine.

He watched Du Mu's retreating figure and instinctively reached out to stop him: "Officer Du Mu, wait..."

'

Before he could finish speaking, an enormous black shadow enveloped him from head to toe.

Batman: (^。—。^)

Penguin: ∑（；°A）

The penguin stiffly raised his head, meeting the expressionless eyes beneath the mask. The fat on his face jiggled, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Batman, I don't think I've done anything wrong lately, have I?"

He spoke with considerable confidence.

He has indeed toned down his behavior a lot recently. He had a big deal with Basuo, but then Du Mu suddenly killed Basuo, so the deal fell through.

Now that there's no reason, Batman can't just beat him up for no reason, can he?

Batman paused for two seconds: "Penguin, we should talk about you selling weapons to the Joker."

Penguin: "6"

'

Wasn't that something that happened last month?

You didn't cause me any trouble back then, so you're just bringing up old grievances now!

On the other side, Du Mu pushed open the door of the Iceberg Club.

Penguin's henchmen lay sprawled on the ground, each one badly injured, groaning softly, none of them able to stand.

However, a closer look reveals that although their injuries appear serious, they have all avoided vital organs and are not in any real danger to their lives.

Batman's control over force has reached a terrifying level.

They said they'd beat him half to death, and they wouldn't give him a single point more.

Du Mu glanced at it and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Opening a hospital in Gotham is incredibly profitable. With a steady stream of patients delivered by Batman every day, it's hard for the business not to be good."

He paused for a moment after he finished speaking.

No, it seems that all of Gotham's hospitals are owned by Wayne Enterprises.

And isn't the owner of Wayne Enterprises none other than Batman, Bruce Wayne himself?

Good grief, it seems Batman is just trying to inflate his company's revenue.

Speaking of Wayne Enterprises, its size is indeed ridiculously large.

Its presence is felt throughout almost every aspect of Gotham City, from top to bottom, and in almost every industry.

Whether it's a factory, a bank, a shopping mall, or a hospital, you can see the Wayne Group logo wherever you go, whether you look up or down.

Imagine you're an ordinary criminal who earns a wage at Wayne Enterprises' factories during the day, then goes out at night to commit a heist. The money you steal is deposited into Wayne Enterprises' banks, while your daily expenses are spent at various stores under Wayne Enterprises.

If you're unlucky one day and accidentally encounter Batman, you'll get beaten up and hospitalized, and you'll have to pay Wayne Enterprises' hospital to get treatment.

Gotham makes money, Gotham spends it; don't even think about taking a single penny home.

Other superheroes who constantly talk about protecting their cities are mostly just using it as a line.

When Batman says he'll protect my city, that's the absolute truth.

But Du Mu was not envious at all.

It's just a city, but he's the ruler of a country, the King of Sokovia. It's not like anyone can't afford money.

Hearing the faint screams coming from behind him, Du Mu silently mourned for the Penguin Man for half a second before turning into a nearby alley.

He stopped and reached up to touch himself.

Soon, he had a miniature instrument in his hand.

It's obvious without even guessing that Batman must have put it in there.

Du Mu squinted and said, "This Bat Boy's paranoia is probably even more severe than Nick Fury's. He actually installed a surveillance device on me, a passerby."

It has to be said that Batman's hand speed is indeed very fast. In the blink of an eye, he installed this thing on Du Mu. His thieving skills are definitely at the maximum level.

But it was no use; Du Mu's thieving skills were equally impressive, and he immediately noticed Batman's little trick.

Du Mu smirked and said smugly, "Batman is nothing compared to me."

He casually crushed the monitor and was about to teleport away when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Du Mu frowned and carefully touched himself again.

A few seconds later, he opened his hand, and another miniature device appeared in his palm.

"That one was actually a decoy, used to cover up the existence of another surveillance camera. No wonder he's Batman, he really knows how to use tricks one after another."

Du Mu was also impressed.

Batman always likes to have backup plans, and he even prepared more than one surveillance camera.

Du Mu also crushed the surveillance device, but he was still a little uneasy, so he simply changed out of his entire set of equipment and put on a new set from head to toe.

Then, he discovered that a bunch of miniature devices had suddenly appeared in the game's inventory, more than a dozen in total.

Du Mu:

'

'

On the other side, the door to the Iceberg Club was pushed open from the inside.

Batman came out.

He had received a fairly satisfactory answer.

Batman stood at the door, raised his hand and pressed the communication device by his ear, but received no response.

Batman was not surprised by this.

"He's definitely not a simple character. I'll need to investigate this Gotham police officer thoroughly when we get back."

Having made up his mind, he reached for the multi-purpose belt at his waist, preparing to draw his grappling hook and leave the scene.

As Gotham's Dark Knight, the nightmare of all criminals, his exit is never conventional.

Only by appearing and disappearing without a trace can one maximize the chilling sense of oppression.

If you beat someone up and then run away on your feet, you lose all your class. Forget about intimidating criminals, you'd be lucky if people didn't laugh.

However, when his hand reached into the all-purpose belt and touched the compartment specifically for storing the grappling hook gun, he found nothing.

Batman: (∧U—U∧)

His grappling hook gun seems to have been stolen.

It took him a full two seconds to barely accept the situation.

Of course, as Batman, he never lacks backup plans.

He pressed the device on his wrist, and a deep engine roared from the end of the street not far away. A dark car cut through the night and came to a steady stop in front of him.

To expect Batman to run on two legs? That's impossible!
