Chapter Two, the extraordinary talents and the unique geography of Gotham City

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

"Let's go, get in the car. It's actually just another block, a five-minute drive. You can also walk there," the driver said after thinking for a few seconds.

In fact, the learning at the sanatorium was not that Bai Ye truly started from the most basic knowledge like a child, but rather that he utilized the power of the staff of authority and wealth for direct infusion

The young man was just about to walk into the nearby restaurant when he was stopped by Bai Ye, appearing somewhat anxious. However, he still patiently said: "Look at the sky."

Matters that can leave the law enforcement personnel of Gotham City at a loss, prompting them to turn on the searchlights and call upon Batman to handle, are undoubtedly perilous

Bai Ye laughed and let go of his hand

An invisible wave emanated from Bai Ye, and after a moment, a dark voice sounded: "Collection is complete; you may choose to directly infuse it or to organize and study it."

"I have no money, but if you take me to the Iceberg Restaurant, I will tell you a joke, how about that?" said Bai Ye

Most of Bai Ye's study time is actually spent understanding a world that is quite unfamiliar to him through platforms such as television and the internet

What?

Isn't this the same as having nothing?" Bai Ye said with a smirk

Gotham City during the day is a prosperous metropolis with a developed economy, a forest of steel

If these people knew that the mastermind behind this restaurant is none other than the infamous Penguin of Gotham City, would they scream in terror and flee?

Gotham City at night is a paradise for a group of mentally ill individuals and criminals

What happened? Bai Ye caught a young man who brushed past him

The two individuals exchanged a glance; one person stared at Bai Ye, while the other stepped aside to make a phone call

Just as Bai Ye was contemplating whom to engage in a transaction with, he heard a suppressed gasp coming from beside him

It is also impossible to simply throw Bai Ye into the deep sea or any such dire situation; rather, he will be transported to a suitable and safe location

Moreover, learning is a tiring endeavor; only a fool would not take advantage of better methods available to them

Of course, Bai Ye did not follow; on the contrary, he stood in place, laughing happily.

Thank you. "Bai Ye smiled as he got into the car, 'Indeed, Gotham City has a simple and honest folk.'"

Soon, that person returned and said: "Kid, wait here."

For instance, Bai Ye now observed several individuals hurriedly entering the Ice Mountain Restaurant, seemingly due to the appearance of the bat symbol in the sky

"Black, how much power value was gained from this transaction?" Sitting in the car, after telling the driver a rather unimpressive joke, Bai Ye wondered to himself

He knows that beneath the surface prosperity of this city lies darkness and danger, and that day and night can even be said to be different places

In simple terms, the larger the transaction scale, the greater the impact; or, the greater the profit, the more value in power and wealth can be obtained. Transactions as small as the one just mentioned can essentially be equated to transactions that cannot yield any value in power and wealth.

However, the appearance of the bat symbol in the sky signifies that Gotham City's Dark Knight, Batman, will make his presence known

The expressions of the two burly men changed slightly, for it is known that not many people are aware that the mastermind behind the Iceberg Restaurant is the Penguin Man

After wandering aimlessly for about half an hour, the sky had completely darkened, and the streetlights along the roadside finally came into use

It is indeed true that the public security in this city is somewhat poor, and the crime rate remains high.

I understand

In fact, this is the stronghold of Gotham City's crime lord and arms dealer, the Penguin. It is unclear whether White Night is aware of this, but there is no doubt that through this restaurant, one can find the Penguin

0.00005

"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?" Bai Ye pointed to the entrance of the Ice Mountain Restaurant, "At the very least, offer me a drink—perhaps a cola?"

Simple, quick, yet it gives a sense of unreality

Fortunately, the various crowds on the streets dispelled such a sense of eeriness

The car stopped in front of the Iceberg Restaurant, and without saying a word, the driver stepped on the gas and left

Certainly, if one believes that the Penguin is harmless because of this, then the bodies of such naive individuals have likely been discarded into the sea beyond Gotham City

However, it must be said that the Penguin is somewhat different from other mentally unstable criminals who, once captured, are to be confined in Arkham Asylum

The figure 0.00005 still arises from the inherently low level of the white night itself

"There is no rush, I would like to make a deal with you," Bai Ye said to the driver.

On either side of the entrance to the Iceberg Restaurant stand two men in black, each approximately two meters tall, with their hands clasped in front of them, seemingly serving as guards

"Black, proceed with the scan and collect the linguistic elements," Bai Ye said.

The streets are wide, and looking up, one can see a variety of tall buildings standing in rows.

Many buildings soar into the clouds, sharp as swords, in a Gothic style

Acquiring power and wealth is not an easy task, and not every transaction can yield power and wealth.

"Iceberg Restaurant." Bai Ye said, "Is it far?"

Everyone naturally needs to avoid it as early as possible; if they are affected, where will they go to cry

It is the evening, as night gradually approaches.

Having mastered the language and script of this world, at least in a vast area, Bai Ye stepped out of the alley with an excited smile on his face

Organizing learning in this manner, even a genius like Bai Ye cannot possibly master a foreign language in a short period of time

Clothing, shoes, and small items that can be kept close to the body or held in hand will also be transmitted together. Other larger "external objects" cannot be transmitted at this time.

On the surface, this Iceberg Restaurant appears to be just an ordinary dining establishment

How does this seemingly frail, perhaps even underage, little brat know about it

It is even less likely to capture some hostages like a mad clown and play a game with Batman

The only certainty is that the world will be a stable one, possessing a civilized order, and will not cast the white night into any barbaric land

Bai Ye approached one of the big men and spoke.

Generally speaking, having such a role at the entrance of a restaurant is sure to drive away some potential customers

The streetlights beside the road have been turned on, but their brightness is very low, even less than the last bit of light brought by the setting sun that has already dipped below the horizon

Relatively speaking, the danger posed by the penguin people to civilians is still relatively low

The Penguin does not install his riddles all over Gotham City like the Riddler, nor does he rob a bank for no reason and then flip a coin to decide whether someone should live or die like Two-Face

The world chosen by the Staff of Authority and Wealth is completely random for Bai Ye, a Level 1 Executor. He has no way to select a specific world to be transported to and has no idea what he will face.

Of course, it is not to the extent that once night falls, ordinary people should not venture out, lest they face tragic consequences.

At first glance, this is an incredibly magnificent city, but upon closer inspection, one will discover a haunting feeling that lurks beneath its ostentation

Bai Ye looked up at the sky, where a bat symbol illuminated by a searchlight appeared in the night sky

To be transported directly to another world without any relevant preparations is not recklessness, but rather a delightful experience.

If one were to walk in such a city during the late hours of the night, the experience would undoubtedly be quite uncomfortable

Subsequently, the pedestrians who were originally strolling along the streets began to hasten their pace, with some getting into vehicles and others entering the adjacent buildings, while even the speed of the cars on the road increased somewhat

He is a person who prioritizes interests and is eager to climb up the social ladder

The place where the white night appears is a dark alley, where some elements of a modern city can be seen

Ten minutes later, Bai Ye, having finished a glass of cola, walked out of the Iceberg Restaurant and took a seat in the back of a black car parked at the entrance

The driver stopped, pressed the window button, and said: "Where to? If it's too far, I won't drive."

"Not far." The driver nodded and said, "Get in the car quickly, I will be going home soon as well."

Of course, I want to see your boss—Cobblepot, or as he is also known, the Penguin said White Night with a smile

There was not much of a dizzy feeling; for Bai Ye, the entire process of teleportation was simply a moment of darkness before leaving the room and arriving in another world

This world, or rather this city, is known to the white night, or it can be said to be familiar—well, only relatively familiar

The driver was taken aback for a moment, and the anxious expression on his face gradually faded. "Alright, what is the deal?"

Well, perhaps he indeed did not consider so much, but even if he wanted to prepare, there is nothing to prepare for

The driver cheerfully accepted this compliment

A standard forest of steel and cement, even colder than an ordinary forest of steel—wherever one looks in the white night, the city's primary colors are only black and gray, and even the neon lights of the shops lining the streets inexplicably exude a shade of gray

"Kid, do you know what you are talking about?" The burly man was taken aback for a moment, then let out a sneer and said

I know Batman's true identity and I want to make a deal with Cobblepot. Bai Ye did not give the two individuals much time to think and directly stated his intention.

Of course, it is direct infusion. Bai Ye replied without a moment's hesitation.

"Let's hide for a while, who knows what kind of lunatic has come out this time; it would be disastrous if we got caught up in it." The young man then walked into the restaurant

I want to see your boss

However, in Gotham City, a place of remarkable individuals and natural beauty, the presence of these two strong men guarding the entrance instead provides an inexplicable sense of security

If Bai Ye already possesses some power and wealth at this moment, this 0.00005 in power and wealth would not exist

In the city of Gotham, where exceptional individuals and natural beauty converge, there is a wealth of talent in Arkham

The once bustling street has begun to show signs of emptiness, and Bai Ye extended his hand to hail a taxi

The curious and excited smile on Bai Ye's face showed no signs of diminishing, as he looked around with great interest.
