Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Batman did not speak, but took out a strange-looking pistol directly from his multi-functional belt. The barrel was not the usual round but square. The tail of the barrel was made very wide and a display screen was installed.

After taking out the gun, Batman aimed at the end of the tunnel and pulled the trigger.

However, what this pistol shoots is not a bullet, but a high-frequency sound wave that is invisible, intangible, and inaudible.

When the sound waves reach the end of the tunnel, they are reflected back and are picked up by the pistol again.

After a while, a series of numbers were displayed on the screen above the barrel, with the unit being kilometers.

This is a sonic rangefinder gun.

"This tunnel leads to the Giordano Botanical Gardens, Robin, come with me!"

Batman told Robin to follow him and then climbed up from the hole to the ground.

"How's the situation down there?"

As soon as Batman came up, Gordon and others gathered around him. When the former was searching the cave, no one except Robin dared to get close.

"Kid has escaped with the gems. The tunnel he dug leads directly to the Giordano Botanical Garden. I want to go there now to take a look."

Batman replied without emotion.

"Let my men pass too."

Gordon suggested.

"No need, you can't keep up."

Batman said as he got into the Batplane, Robin following glumly.

Gordon was silent for a moment as he watched the Bat fighter fly away after taking off.

"What are you still looking at? We still have work to do! Get the bat light up quickly. The tunnel under the Cavaliers Stadium needs to be filled as soon as possible, otherwise who knows if a landslide will occur one day!"

Suddenly, Gordon turned around and said to the people standing motionless behind him.

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as Gordon spoke, everyone immediately started working.

-

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.

Kidd's performance at Cavaliers Stadium was very successful. There is no doubt that Kidd was happy, and the audience who watched Kidd's performance was also happy.

As for those who are worried, the GCPD who has failed repeatedly and someone who has failed in challenges are naturally indispensable, at least in the eyes of the public.

But there is a person outside the public eye who is also worried.

Who is this person?

"Fuck! Can anyone tell me why Kaitou Kidd won again this time? Why? Why was Robin the one to deal with Kaitou Kidd? Who! Can you tell me! Why didn't Batman come out until he ran away? ?”

In the Iceberg Club, Penguin yelled angrily.

"Did Batman's head get caught in the door? He didn't show up until Kidd ran away! Doesn't he always like to be invisible? Doesn't he often act with Robin? Why can't he do it this time?"

"In the past few days, I asked the major gangs in Gotham to restrain their men and give Batman enough time to deal with Kidd, but he actually did nothing!"

In the room, several Penguin bosses headed by Okierwei stood in the corner, not daring to move.

"Thirty million! I lost another thirty million for no reason! Damn Match Malone, he must have done something I don't know! Otherwise, how can he be sure that Batman will not deal with Kidd himself?"

Penguin gets angry when he thinks of the bet he had with Match Malone a few days ago.

At first, he thought that Match Malone was taking over the matter and bribed him around the corner just to give him money.

Although Penguin doesn't know what Match Malone needs help with, thirty million is not a small amount of money. If Match Malone really wants to ask him to do something, it's not impossible. Once the money is in place, everything can be easily negotiated.

If you don’t have enough money, you can add more later.

Until an hour ago, Penguin thought so.

However, after watching Kaitou Kidd's live broadcast, Penguin's mentality changed.

He realized that Match Malone’s intention to bet that day was definitely not to give away money, but to win money!

Regardless of the size of Penguin's assets, thirty million U.S. dollars is not a lot, but it is real cash, and it is real money that can be circulated, not black money and not counterfeit money.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that Penguin was particularly heartbroken, but he was definitely bleeding from the mouth.

"Okierwe!"

Suddenly, Penguin turned his attention to O'Kilwe and said viciously: "Check! Find out for me what Match Malone has done recently? Who has he met? Has the Match Gang violated the gambling agreement?"

His eyes were full of ferocity, which made O'Kilwe's heart tremble.

If it is found that Match Malone strictly followed the gambling agreement at the time and did not do anything that would interfere with Batman, nor did he go to see anyone suspicious, then the Penguin will admit that he is unlucky and is willing to admit defeat. I never made that 30 million.

but!

If he finds out that something has been wrong with Match Malone these days, and that he is deliberately trying to blow up the Penguin's money, then don't think about changing the story easily!

Penguin didn't care as to what kind of magical means Kidd used, and he never thought that Batman would miscalculate Kidd's action plan.

In short, as far as Penguin knows, there is no one in Gotham that Batman can't deal with.

"Yes, boss, I'll check right away!"

O'Kilwe lowered his head and accepted the order, then walked out of the room.

-

On the other side, Gotham's Diamond District, the Thaston Mansion.

Dean turned around several times, spent a lot of effort to clean up the mud on his body, put on a clean disguise, and then went back home.

Then comes the routine inspection work.

"Not bad. It seems that my identity is safe for the time being."

Dean dragged his exhausted body back to the room and collapsed on the bed.

"Now, it's time to settle the mission rewards."

With anticipation, Dean called up the system.

Chapter 163 Wow! golden legend

"Congratulations to the host for completing the custom mission - stealing the 'Ocean Gem'

Mission Difficulty: Difficult

Treasure value: Ordinary (a specialty ore from the ocean kingdom of Atlantis, with a certain amount of magical adaptability)

Gorgeous level: A

Overall evaluation: A+ (Exquisite performance and flexible use of props earned you a high evaluation.)

Reward obtained: 30172 exclamation points (from the stadium audience, GCPD police, Jim Gordon, Robin...) + 2400 exclamation points (fixed for completing the mission)."

"Complete the additional goal: steal the 'Bat Lamp', and receive an additional reward of 3000 exclamation points."

"The account balance is 235 exclamation points, and the total exclamation points are 35807 points."

Hearing the system's beep ringing in his ears, Dean couldn't help but feel a smile on his face.

This wave is really making a lot of money!

The Cavaliers Stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 people, was packed with seats, directly bringing Dean more than 30,000 points of exclamation point income.

Excluding the exclamation points obtained from the audience, the rewards automatically obtained for completing tasks have also increased to 2400 points.

What Dean didn't expect was that even for stealing the Bat Lantern, he actually received an additional 3,000 points as a reward.

The main reason why he stole the Bat-Light in the first place was that it would take time to use a hard-faced cutter to remove the gem from the Bat-Lamp. If he cut it in front of Robin and the GCPD, the risk would be too high.

Therefore, it is a better choice to hide the bat light and then perform cutting work.

Of course, the topicality and drama created by changing the bat lamp are also within Dean's consideration.

Nearly 36,000 exclamation points. Ever since Dean obtained the system, he has never seen so many exclamation points. This time he can finally squander it.

I gritted my teeth and spent the remaining balance until there was only a little over 200 points, and I did not do anything wrong. As the saying goes, only those who dare to hand over everything can get everything. If you are reluctant to let go of your children, you will not be able to trap the wolf. Without high investment, how can you get high returns?

"What should I exchange for..."

Dean suddenly had a huge sum of money in his hand, and Dean, who had always been on a tight budget, didn't know how to spend it.

Before, the situation in Gotham was relatively stable, and he didn't offend any particularly powerful enemies. Even though the Penguin had been trying to plot against him, the methods used were actually very restrained.

As a Gothamite, Dean experienced the Penguin's most glorious period, which was the first two years after the fall of Falcone and the first two years of Batman and Robin's debut.

At that time, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, Clayface, Mad Hatter, Deadshot, Solomon Grundy... many famous super villains in Gotham were working under the Penguin.

Although they went their separate ways many years ago, and several of them went to prison or Arkham and have not been released yet.

But if Penguin is really determined to spend a lot of money to kill someone, Dean believes he can hire these super villains back in minutes.

The Penguin has not done that before, which at least shows that his murderous intention towards Kaitou Kidd has not yet reached a very deep level.

This is also the reason why Kaitou Kidd has been relatively smooth sailing in Gotham during this period. So far, Dean has indeed not encountered any troublesome people.

Like Firefly and Man-Bat, they, like Kaitou Kidd, are newcomers who just debuted this year, and they didn't cause Dean any big difficulties.

All in all, before this incident, Dean was able to complete the stealing performance relatively easily even without relying on the powerful props given by the system.

But things are different now.

Bruce Wayne's open challenge to Kidd sent a signal to Dean.

That means he has entered Batman's eyes. If he didn't meet Batman in the stadium this time, it might not happen next time.

When it comes time to face Batman, Dean will have to undergo a major upgrade. He doesn't want to go to Arkham Asylum for further training.

But... where should I upgrade? This requires careful consideration.

"Let's take a look at the existing abilities and props first."

Dean singled out individual panels.

"Name: Dean Suston

Age: 16 years old

Skills: Magic Mastery, Vehicle Mastery, Lockpicking Mastery, Shooting Mastery, Fighting Mastery, Quick Disguise, Voice Change without Props

Items: card gun, grappling gun, triangular glider, bulletproof cloak, realistic doll, small surveillance system jammer, stone of doom, anti-curse shield (Class C doom), hard surface cutter, micro bug, textile Material repair fluid, soil circulation cleaner

Talent: Resistant Skin (Low Level) Sensitive Reaction (Intermediate Level)

Account balance: 35807 exclamation points”

Hmm~ This pleasing balance...

At this time, Dean looked at the two talents he already had.

According to the grading description of talents in the system, they are divided into five levels: low-level, intermediate-level, high-level, special-level, and perfect. You can purchase high-level talent cards to directly obtain high-level talents, or you can pay an equal amount of exclamation points to get high-level talents. Low-level talents are upgraded to high-level talents.

Taking resistant skin as an example, the low-level effect is to slow down 10% of the trauma caused by various special attributes such as burning, freezing, corrosion, toxins, radiation, explosions, etc. and accelerate healing.

The intermediate level is 35%, the high level is 60%, the special level is 90%, and perfect is 100% immunity.

Depending on the type of talent, the price required for upgrading will also fluctuate.

Only the prices for the three stages of low, middle and high are fixed. One thousand, two thousand, and five thousand remain unchanged. Starting from special-level talents, the pricing becomes magical, with floating values ​​ranging from ten thousand to one hundred thousand.

Perfection-level talents start at 200,000 yuan, with no upper limit, but when considering its powerful effects, the price does not seem so unacceptable.

Among them, Dean's sensitive reaction talent is among the most expensive. Upgrading special-level sensitive reactions requires 100,000 exclamation points, and upgrading to perfect requires 1 million exclamation points.

Resistant skin is considered to be a mid-level skin. Upgrading to the special level requires 50,000 exclamation points, and reaching perfection requires 400,000 exclamation points.

After careful consideration, Dean decided to upgrade his Resistant Skin and Sensitive Reaction to a high level first. These two talents have huge potential and are core abilities that cannot be replaced.

Perhaps the surface description of resistant skin seems a bit useless, and a perfect level that is less than 100% immune may not be useful.

But is this really the case?

Of course not, because the system's determination of damage is not based on the size of the external attack, but on the size of the attack on the host itself.

What does it mean?

For example, if a grenade can kill Dean, and a missile can kill Dean, then these two injuries will be judged as fatal injuries by the system, regardless of the size!
