Li Hua, an adolescent human with a kind heart who met an untimely demise, much like most protagonists in system-transmigration novels, was unexpectedly recruited by the Space-Time Administration af...
Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Homework tutoring is a pain for all parents...
Three minutes later, Batman, reeking of herbicide, descended from the sky via a grappling hook and landed in the alley.
The bustling crowd outside the alley would never have imagined that there were five vigilantes squatting in this inconspicuous alley, and in the lower sewer where they were, there was a large group of killer plants and an extreme plant supremacist who could control plants.
It was a blessing in disguise that no one was injured in this sewer python disaster. However, after the joy of surviving the disaster, Li Hua and others had to start thinking about a more practical problem.
How to get Poison Ivy out of the sewer.
Gotham City's sewer network is extensive and spreads throughout the city. Not to mention Poison Ivy, a summoning mage with her own plant domain and followers, even Killer Croc, despite his huge size, would be extremely difficult to find and capture if he entered the Gotham sewers.
Batman wasn't intimidated by this question and pulled out his backup plan for Poison Ivy: "We now know the general range of Poison Ivy. Let's just pump herbicide gas into it."
Almost all the plants used and controlled by Poison Ivy are transformed by her into more dangerous killer plants. Therefore, every time Poison Ivy is captured, her mutated plants need to be specially disposed of harmlessly.
The enclosed space makes it easy for Poison Ivy to use her plants to change the air, and for Batman to pump herbicide gas into it.
By then, not only will Poison Ivy be forced out, but she will also be severely damaged. The sewers covered with herbicides will also find it difficult to give birth to mutant plants, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of capturing her.
The only difficulty is that they have to race against time, otherwise Poison Ivy will soon move away with her plants.
Batman: "I have contacted the Gotham police to evacuate the crowd. Oracle will direct you to your respective areas of responsibility. The equipment for spraying herbicides will be delivered to you by Penny."
Li Hua raised his hand high and shook it.
Batman: "Magic Boy, what's your problem?"
Li Hua: "I got the [wind] card, so I can help with the weed killer."
In the absence of wind, the gas diffuses freely in a circular pattern. If you want to spray herbicide in the current area of Poison Ivy's influence, you must enter Poison Ivy's green web.
But Li Hua not only has the wind, he also has the [wind] card, which can not only ensure that the herbicide is delivered to the target, but also greatly increase the speed and volume of the herbicide infusion.
It doesn't matter if the gas diffuses slowly. If Li Hua can find the center and suddenly pour the herbicide in, it will be like blowing up a balloon with a high-pressure water gun - it will explode on the spot and not a single blade of grass will grow.
If it was an ordinary [Wind] card, it would be difficult to deal with Poison Ivy's plants because there was attribute restraint. But with the massive amount of herbicides sponsored by Batman, the wind blown by Li Hua's [Wind] card is no ordinary wind.
That's the wind that can give Poison Ivy and her plants a refreshing mist of weed killer!
Poison Ivy, her attribute restraint is different!
Batman immediately revised the battle plan: "The magic boy and I will go to the central area, and the others will proceed as planned."
Everyone responded and rushed to their respective areas of responsibility.
Li Hua knew that Penny One was the code name of the old butler Alfred, but on the way to the scene, he was still very curious about how the gray-haired Alfred could deliver the tools needed to inject herbicides to everyone's responsible area in such a short time.
Although Bruce's original plan when the Court of Owls ice sculptures were being moved was for Alfred to disguise himself as a truck driver to transport the claws, it can be seen from this that the old butler can not only drive, but also has excellent driving skills.
But to carry so many things to so many places in such a short time... Li Hua couldn't help but imagine the scene of Alfred with white hair and beard driving a truck on the highway with speed and passion.
That's really... I'm just like a young man, stepping on the accelerator, S gear. I turn the steering wheel to the limit and drift through the corner without anyone passing me!
"Prepare to receive supplies."
After arriving at the scene, Batman gently grabbed the back of the collar of Li Hua, who was trying to pick up a car on the side of the road, turned his head to the side, and signaled him to look at the sky.
On the horizon, a black dot was approaching rapidly. Accompanied by a huge roar and airflow, a black and cool bat fighter landed above the two men's heads. A square hatch opened at the bottom, and a square container box tied with a black cable was slowly lowered from it.
After the container was safely lowered, the hook at the end of the rope loosened automatically without any manual operation, and the Batfighter flew away with the rope in hand, just as it came in.
Batman opened the door of the container and took out several barrels of powerful herbicides, a small generator, and a device that looked like a giant fog machine. He quickly assembled them together and then took a gas mask from the container.
"This is a device that can atomize a powerful weed killer. While the weed killer produced by the Batcave is not harmful to humans if inhaled in small doses, we will need a large dose this time. As a precaution, we must wear gas masks at all times. We will begin when you are ready."
Li Hua put on his gas mask, made an OK gesture to Batman, and played the [Wind] card.
Under the operation of Li Hua and the [Wind] brand, the air flow opened the manhole cover like a tentacle, carrying light green atomized herbicide into the sewer, with the unstoppable momentum of students rushing out of the school gate on the last day before the long vacation, leaving no grass behind.
Then……
Then, Li Hua seemed to have nothing to do. He just stood there and used the [Wind] card to continuously output into the sewer, while Batman stood by without saying a word. It should have been an exciting scene of catching criminals, but with them, it became like standing in the corner for punishment.
Li Hua always worked with Jason Benjamin and was used to joking around during the action. The sudden suffocating silence made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that Li Hua doesn't know what else he can do besides being a blower here.
The public channel has been silent except for the squeak at the beginning when everyone was in place to inflate the sewer. Li Hua didn't feel comfortable looking for anyone to chat with in the public group.
After standing still as a COS blower for ten minutes, Li Hua began to adjust the channel of his headset, wanting to ask what Jason and Benjamin were doing over there, but he found that there was no sound in the small channel of the three of them.
...Why are these two so quiet today? Could they have been ambushed?
Thinking of how Benjamin was almost dragged away by vines in the sewer, Li Hua's heart skipped a beat. He connected to Red Hood's private channel: "Red Hood, are you there?"
The background of the Red Hood was filled with the roar of a huge atomizer. Li Hua could hardly hear what he said: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Are you okay over there?"
"I'm fine, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm hanging up first."
So Li Hua hung up the call and tried to connect to Benjamin's private line: "Ben, are you there?"
Pouring herbicide into the sewers certainly didn't require an alien hero. Benjamin, in his non-transformed state, quickly answered the call: "I'm here. What's up?"
Li Hua: "What's going on over there?"
"No." Benjamin, who was also impatient, quickly understood why Li Hua was looking for him. "Are you bored? I understand. Waiting is always hard to endure."
Especially now that they say they are applying herbicide, there is actually a potential surveillance mission. We have to be on guard against whether Poison Ivy and her plants will slip away from somewhere, so we can't look away, we can't run around, and there is no need to think about looking at the phone or anything like that.
Especially since there was a combat version of Azmis standing next to Li Hua.
Although Batman has a better temper than Azmis, he is much bigger than Azmis. When he puts on that black uniform and stands there with a stern face, he looks like a headmaster, which is very oppressive.
Li Hua: "Great hero, do you have any advice for me?"
Benjamin: "Normally I would chat with the person next to me at this time, but considering that Batman is standing next to you...what do you think of number 666?"
Before Li Hua could say anything, the voice in No. 666's head rang out: [I'm not here.]
Although he couldn't hear No. 666's voice over the phone, Benjamin roughly guessed No. 666's answer, so he offered another trick: "Well, I have another idea. Try to clear your mind, but don't clear it so much that you can't react to an emergency. It's like fishing. When you don't catch a fish, clear your mind. When the float sinks to the bottom, pull the rod immediately."
"I understand. Thank you. I'll hang up now."
In fact, Li Hua had never fished before, so he didn't know what state Benjamin was talking about. But he didn't want to keep chatting with Benjamin at this critical juncture, so he had to squat beside the wellhead with his staff in his hand, and continue to COS the blower.
Batman, who watched Li Hua's autism from the side, said: "..."
Would you rather just keep squatting there and not come talk to him? He's not that scary, is he?
Batman thought that Li Hua might still have some social anxiety towards his elders, so he chose to actively start a conversation: "Magic boy, how are you doing recently?"
Li Hua came to Gotham this time to have Batman check on his and Benjamin's learning progress. When Batman started talking, Li Hua subconsciously thought Batman was asking about his learning progress, so he answered honestly, "I haven't finished reading the tutorial materials you sent me."
Batman chose the tutorial materials himself and personally trained three Robins. He certainly knew that it was not something a novice could learn in a week.
He gave Li Hua and Benjamin so many books in different fields, just to see which field of knowledge they were more interested in and easier to master, so that those who learned first could lead others to learn, and learn step by step.
"Don't worry, learning is the most important thing. The weekly test scores only allow you and me to better understand our learning progress, and have no other meaning." Batman asked again, "What have you read?"
Li Hua said, "Red Hood taught me some guns. Ben and I are currently reading the bomb disposal textbook you gave me."
It’s that book?
Batman admitted to being a little surprised.
He always thought that the book was taken home by a child, flipped through it a few times, and then put in the bottom of the box.
Bomb disposal is a technical job that cannot be learned by just looking at theoretical knowledge. Even if Jason has learned bomb disposal, the Magic Boys Group will not have much chance to actually get a chance to dismantle a bomb in Blüdhaven.
When Batman gave the book to Li Hua, he just wanted him and Benjamin to have a general understanding of the structure of the bomb. He also planned to wait for Li Hua and Benjamin to come to Wayne Manor one day and then use the practice model to teach them step by step.
Batman glanced at the communicator. Poison Ivy hadn't made any movement yet, so he had time to explain the child's confusion. So he asked, "Are you having any difficulties with your studies?"
Li Hua thought about it. The theoretical knowledge was taught by No. 666, and the practical knowledge was taught by Benjamin who transformed into Crab Armor Mastermind and rubbed training bombs on the spot. It seemed that he really did not encounter any difficulties that required trouble for Batman.
But Li Hua was just a little socially anxious, not a fool. He realized that Batman was actively showing goodwill to him. If he just blocked him at this time, the topic would be dead.
So Li Hua found a solved problem and humbly asked, "What should I do if the structure of my bulb-type igniter keeps shifting inside the detonator?"
There are a lot of Bomberman fans in Gotham. Batman has been dealing with this group of people and their bombs for so many years. As soon as he heard it, he knew what the problem was and how to deal with it.
But what he didn't understand was why Li Hua would ask such a question that was obviously not about bomb disposal but about making bombs?
What is even more terrifying is that Li Hua’s question does not seem to be a simple theoretical question, but more like a practical question.
Li Hua, what have you been doing these days? That thing I gave you was clearly a bomb disposal manual!
Batman was caught in a mental storm, but Li Hua understood his silence as another meaning and asked cautiously:
"Batman, you don't know either, right?"
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible. Batman is good at defusing bombs, and he may not be able to do the practical work of making bombs. These are all the contents of the extracurricular lecture No. 666.
Batman: "..."
Batman's silence was deafening, but in Li Hua's eyes, it became a tacit agreement.
Come to think of it, if you confidently say that you will help your child with homework, and then find yourself embarrassed when seeing the questions, you will not be like the embarrassment that every parent has to go through.
Li Hua had experienced the embarrassment of being overwhelmed by his sister's homework, so he empathized with Batman at the moment and said sympathetically, "It's okay, Batman. Everyone has their strengths. Everyone has their weaknesses."
The comforted Batman: "..."
Batman closed his eyes behind the white film of his tactical helmet.
"Sulfur."
"What?" Li Hua looked up blankly. "Sorry, the atomizer and the wind were too loud. I couldn't hear clearly."
Batman turned around, and before his black cape fell, Li Hua heard the Dark Knight utter the standard answer in a decisive tone:
"Pouring molten sulfur into the detonator tube can effectively prevent the displacement of the bulb-type ignition mechanism of the electric detonator tube due to vibration."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Guardian No. 1 Batman: (closes his eyes tightly): What on earth did these kids come up with when their parents weren’t watching?
Guardian No. 2 666 (watched the whole thing): That’s great. Li Hua has learned a skill that may be useful in the future.
Guardian #3 Azmis (also watched the entire thing): "It's not easy. Ben is finally using his brain. But this method is still so basic, I feel like it's useless. If I were to teach him, I could increase the bomb's power tenfold."
After Benjamin returned home, his parents and cousin asked: "Ben, your physics and chemistry grades have improved a lot! How did you do it? Your physics grade was only a C+ before. What's your study secret?"
Benjamin: ...I actually studied the circuit with my good friends, so I have a deep feeling about it.
Kevin: I heard you learned some new technology in the other world? Next time I get my car serviced, would you like to come over and take a look? Maybe you'll understand it this time, and maybe we can even discuss some fun new features for my new car.
Benjamin: ...and you probably won't be too happy about it
Kevin: What's there to be unhappy about? Do I seem that stingy? I let you get in my car even though you've destroyed it multiple times. By the way, what did you learn in the otherworldly cram school?
Benjamin: Build a bomb.
Kevin: .
Kevin (standing in front of the car): You vehicle killer, stay away from my car! ! ! !
Benjamin (trying to defend himself): Calling me a vehicle killer is an exaggeration. Those cars of yours were all accidents...
Batmobile in the Sky: Keep talking, I'm listening.
