Chapter 75 Chapter 75 It's ok, it's not dead

Li Hua's face was filled with despair. "Is it true that my reputation in this world can no longer be green, healthy, and suitable for all ages?"

"Isn't your reputation good now?" No. 666 said. "Your current reputation has a deterrent effect on the enemy, whether it's using rhetoric or uniforms."

From the perspective of numerical aesthetics, this reputation is too good, why should it be reversed?

No. 666: "Batman spent so many years to make 'Batman' the embodiment of fear in Gotham's hearts. It didn't take you much to make those criminals fear you. Isn't that a huge profit?"

Li Hua: "Can this be the same?"

In the eyes of others, Batman and I, one is the Dark Knight and the other is the Dark Knight!

No. 666: "I don't see any difference. Isn't it just stacking fear buffs on yourself?"

Li Hua was filled with grief and indignation: "No. 666, you are an artificial intelligence system. You don't understand the importance of integrity and dignity to us humans."

"I really don't understand." No. 666 said calmly, "But you said the same thing when I asked you to wear a skirt before. What about now?"

Now running around in a skirt, after seeing the numerically enhanced incense, Li Hua's face has been strengthened.

Even Jason's face was strengthened.

Aesthetics, face, and moral integrity are all insignificant in the face of pure numbers!

"What about me?" Benjamin said. "Li Hua's reputation can still boast some sort of deterrent buff, but what can I say about my reputation? 100% buffed by gossip about my private life? That sounds like a negative buff no matter how you look at it."

"So what? Just don't go and see," Jason said. "Look at it this way. They're just gossiping about your personal life. They're not saying you're a cancer on the human race, or an alien with evil intentions, or shaving their heads, holding a magical stone, and thinking about how to kill you."

Li Hua: "I suspect you are talking about Luther, and I have evidence."

Benjamin: "What kind of magical stone is this? Is it like the spell stone, a magical stone that grants magical powers to those who possess it?"

Jason spread his hands. "See, this is the result of not having the habit of intelligence gathering."

After saying that, Jason picked up a crimson travel bag under the tree next to them and rummaged through it.

The transformation of the BUG magic wand will cover the user's original costume, so when Jason transformed, he deliberately took out the Batman's props and temporarily put them together with other things.

Jason pulled out a small metal box from the compartment of his travel bag and tossed it to Benjamin: "Here, this is it."

"This looks like a ring box." Benjamin opened the metal box and found that inside it were actually several rings inlaid with green crystals.

Is it really a ring box?

Looking closely at the green crystals, which shone brilliantly under the light, Benjamin picked one up and observed it closely. He discovered that unlike other gemstones, these crystals were cut with right and sharp angles. Even though Benjamin knew nothing about jewelry, he could tell from the sharp, knife-like cuts that these things felt rough to the touch.

"Is this Kryptonite?" Benjamin looked at the green crystal against the light, but he couldn't see anything special. He also didn't feel any power after putting on the ring. "What is it for?"

"It's used to kill Kryptonians," Jason explained. "Kryptonite is one of Kryptonians' most well-known weaknesses. Exposure to it causes weakness and pain, and prolonged or excessive exposure can even be fatal."

"So Ben, if you transform into a Kryptonian in the future, you must remember to avoid this kind of stone when you see it, understand?"

Li Hua: "So the kryptonite on this ring is intentionally made to feel sharp. So when you use it to beat someone up, they'll realize it's actually a portable brass knuckles."

After hearing what Jason and Li Hua said, Benjamin couldn't help but become more curious about the seemingly ordinary ring in his hand. He looked at the wonderful crystal more carefully. "It's amazing that such a powerful Kryptonian would be afraid of such a small thing."

"Not just Kryptonians, humans will die if they stay with this stone for a long time," said 666. "If you had a Geiger counter, it would have gone off by now. This thing is radioactive, and long-term exposure to it could cause cancer. That's why it's stored in a lead box."

Li Hua:?!

Benjamin:?!

Knowing that he was in the radiation without knowing it, Li Hua, who was wearing a magic boy's costume with speed, snatched the ring from Benjamin's hand and threw it into the box, then closed the lead box.

Li Hua: "Jason, why didn't you tell me earlier that this thing has radiation?"

Jason: "Don't worry, I wouldn't give you anything dangerous. The radiation from kryptonite isn't as strong as you think. This tiny amount of radiation is less than what you'd get if you went through airport security."

No. 666: "He's right. If there really was dangerous radiation, I would have sounded the alarm long ago."

Benjamin: "Why do you carry so much Kryptonite with you, Jason? Are there any Kryptonian villains in Gotham and Blüdhaven?"

"If anything, this amount won't be enough. This kryptonite is only used to prevent your Kryptonian form from losing control."

Jason explained.

"This brings us to Superman. You're well aware of his power. Although he's a good man, many lunatics think, 'Since I can't have your heart, I'll have your body.' Using magic, hypnosis, special substances... In short, they use any method they can think of to control Superman. This kind of situation can be applied to any Kryptonian."

Li Hua: ...

Benjamin: ...

First, Luthor was cloning, and now it's mind control. How many people in this universe are craving Superman's body?"

"You can imagine the devastation a Kryptonian who goes rogue and loses control could wreak. The tradition of Bat-like vigilantes carrying Kryptonite is well known, even to the Kryptonians themselves. It's a testament to the trust between comrades. Superman even gave Batman a Kryptonite before."

Having said that, Jason patted his chest and made a promise.

"Don't worry, Ben. Although I haven't fought Superman, I have received relevant training. If you lose control after becoming a Kryptonian, I will definitely bring Li Hua to pin you down as soon as possible."

"I believe you will be able to do it when the time comes," Benjamin said, "but I'm a little curious, how many times have Superman and other Kryptonians in your universe lost control?"

It's even to the point where teammates carry kryptonite with them and they receive special training for their partners.

Jason: “I haven’t counted.”

All I can say is that now when most villains want to fight a team battle with the Justice League, they will first consider banning Superman.

In fact, to be fair, Superman's magic resistance is not lower than that of ordinary people, but the people he meets every time are not ordinary people, and he has gained experience in banning many villains, making it difficult to defend against them.

Benjamin: ...

Li Hua: ...

The “uncounted” part is quite clever, so how many times has Superman been targeted?

"There are so many weirdos in your universe." Benjamin tightened his clothes, not knowing whether it was because of the cold weather or his heart.

"Actually, I don't think you should worry too much about this. After all, Ben, you usually transform into a Kryptonian to pick up and drop off children, so it's harder for them to target you. Besides, we have something safer than Kryptonite on hand."

Li Hua looked at Jason - the BUG wand wrapped around his forearm with a tactical bandage.

"Benjamin Tennyson, in order to avoid being controlled by a perverted mind, in order to avoid being targeted by kryptonite, become a Kryptonian magic boy!"

"..."

Benjamin squatted down with an expressionless face, grabbed a ball of snow and threw it hard at Li Hua.

"There are already enough magical boys in this team!"

…

Tim: "Has the Magic Boys team been quiet lately?"

"Did you come all the way from Gotham just for this? I thought you were here to check on your dear brother." Dick found a soda from the refrigerator in the rental apartment and handed it to Tim on the sofa. "Oh, I'm jealous."

"Yeah, I don't care about you. That big bag I brought wasn't Alfred's homemade dessert." Tim opened the soda and said, "So is there really nothing going on in Blüdhaven recently?"

Dick smiled helplessly. "Really? Not really. Although we don't go on night patrols together, we'll sometimes say hello and share intel when we run into each other. They even asked me for missions these past five days. Jason said it was because they've been so addicted to games lately that they're too lazy to hunt down the scumbags who need to be punished, but it does reduce my workload a lot."

In the first two days, Dick would secretly follow the boys after giving them tasks just in case, but he soon discovered that Jason, Li Hua and Benjamin completed their tasks very well, and acted quickly and without any delay, which was a change from their previous erratic style.

Although according to them, it is because beating up ordinary people is not difficult at all, for the Magic Boys F3, dealing with the gang is as plain and boring as punching in at work. They just want to finish it quickly and go home to play games.

Dick in Blüdhaven was in the stage of being angry with his old father and demanding independence, and he did not take the initiative to pay attention to what was happening in Gotham, and Jason Li Hua and Benjamin would not take the initiative to say anything.

Therefore, Dick did not know that from the day he parted with the Magic Boys F3, they had invited Deathstroke to be their assistant, released the Batmobile, cancelled Killer Croc's account, replaced Scarecrow with the top account, and debuted as the Magic Boys of Krypton.

In Dick's eyes, the team of Li Hua and Benjamin is more like being forced to do various tasks that come to them rather than doing the work. They are still very honest. Jason is also gradually becoming mature in the process of leading the team, and his happiness is visibly evident.

It seems that they have made good friends with each other. It’s great to be young.

Dick, a working man who has entered society, feels warm in his heart every time he sees the three boys bickering and playing around, feeling relieved and emotional.

I am glad that Jason has made friends of the same age who can play with him and are sincere to him, and I am sincerely happy for my younger brother.

I felt sad that I had also grown from a boy who played around to an adult who smiled mysteriously at the boys playing around.

So when faced with Tim's question, Dick was understandably worried: "Tim, have you also caught Bruce's suspicion and control? That's not good."

Tim: “…”

It seems that Dick doesn't know that Gotham's underground casinos have already opened betting, betting on which permanent resident of Arkham the Magic Boys F3 will challenge next for the name of Arkham.

The author has something to say: Bruce/Tim: Magic Boys F3 hasn’t done anything for five days. Is there something wrong?
