Chapter 16 Investment



“The mice told me that the box was too heavy and that I needed to move it closer so that I could control more mice at once,” Sheila said.

The two of them were already about ten meters away from the target location. If they could go around the wall, they would be able to see the penguin man's men lying on the ground groaning across a stinky ditch.

But even if you don't look at them, Weiwei can directly look at the signs above their heads on the map. If there is [Pain] on their heads, it means they have just been beaten. If there is [Fear], it means they have not been hit yet. If there is nothing, it means they have been beaten unconscious.

——Robin’s speed is really fast, and I guarantee that everyone will get beaten up.

But why did he hit someone?

This location is too close to the Penguin People's headquarters. Vivi can see at a glance that the Penguin People's reinforcements are approaching. She has been letting Sheila control the mouse because she doesn't want to reveal that "herself" is the buyer and secretly observe what happened. But obviously, Robin's behavior has alarmed the Penguin People, and delaying any further would not be a good idea.

The box was just at her feet. Weiwei picked up the box and suddenly froze for a moment. She said, "Let's go separately. You go back first."

After saying that, Weiwei glanced at the map and rushed towards the edge of the city.

If she guessed correctly, her second body should have floated in that direction along the current, and they hadn't seen any body along the way, so they just happened to try their luck while "completing the mission".

If Weiwei remembered correctly, the direction was towards Naihe Island, but the corpse was very large and might be crushed by the garbage disposal on the way.

Yes, mission accomplished.

When Weiwei got the box, she triggered the task [Positioning].

There is a rice-sized locator attached to the side of the box. At first glance, it looks like a fish scale or a stone. The task requires her to find "the person who placed the locating device." After reading the description of this task, Weiwei always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Since the other party has put a location on the box, why does she need to look for him? She can just keep a distance and wait for someone to find her.

"Maybe it's the penguin man," she ran with the box, walking on the dark ground as if it were flat ground, and avoiding the smelly sewage dripping from above, "He wants to know who this 'customer' of mine is?"

However, Weiwei guessed wrong this time. As the distance increased, the only and most conspicuous green dot broke away from the crowd and ran accurately in the direction of Weiwei.

Weiwei: “?”

Boy, is she going to meet this upright muscle bird? A fifty-fifty kind of guy.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that the opponent was also moving fast. The darkness could not hinder Robin at all. Weiwei simply stopped, took off the locator, and put the box of mercury into the system package.

The next moment, the light that was faintly coming through the gap was blocked for a moment, and a man whose age was between a boy and a young man appeared in front of Weiwei.

Um?

Where are the birds?

Weiwei: “…” Disappointed.

The domino mask covered the upper half of his face, leaving only his deep blue eyes exposed. The tights uniform seemed to be made of special fibers, giving people an inexplicably high-end feeling, which seemed to be similar to the feeling that the eavesdropping device and locator gave to Vivi.

The moment Robin noticed Weiwei, he turned his eyes away and scanned the surroundings.

Weiwei was standing at a T-shaped intersection. In addition to the place where Robin appeared, there were three other ways to choose to escape.

But she didn't continue to run away - are you kidding? The one chasing her was not a red name, but a green name?

Although this green name looks a bit like a pervert in a tights, he doesn't seem to be very old.

So she crossed her arms and said confidently, "Why are you chasing me?"

Light poured in through the manhole cover above their heads and fell on Vivi's light brown hair. Without the obstruction of glasses, her eyes were like a lake reflecting the dark forest, leaving a rich green. Half of her face was hidden under her raised collar, but Tim could almost imagine her hidden expression through the tone of her voice.

He was almost amused.

Tim Drake, aka the third Robin of Batman, was also at the Guardian today.

The story begins with the news brought by Peter - gunshots were heard in the town hall at night.

Tim investigated quickly because someone almost delivered the information to him. Just as he started investigating, the second incident happened in the City Hall. The man in the black mask and the Penguin Man's men fought in the City Hall, resulting in the capture of the terrifying top killer, the Deadshot. This result was too weird!

Knowing that the killer is the Death Shooter, he directly investigated the opponent's movement trajectory. This is almost the same as deducing the solution process when he knows the answer. This made Tim feel frustrated that "I always seem to be one step behind others" -

Someone must be behind this.

Otherwise, it can't all be coincidence.

The new mayor, Anna Elle, is the most suspicious because she has a vested interest in all events.

But there are others among them, such as the person who sold all the intelligence of "spies sent by Penguin Man" to the mayor, otherwise how could she find the opportunity to catch all these traitors in one fell swoop? This person is likely to be a subordinate of Penguin Man, and there is a traitor among his subordinates.

In order to find the non-existent traitor, Tim discovered an important transaction that the Penguin had made tonight. A mysterious customer ordered almost all of his mercury reserves.

The crisis has honed his intuition. Tim realizes that this deal is very dangerous. Mercury is a dangerous metal in every way. Who is this mysterious man who suddenly appeared in Gotham, and what is he going to do?

He had to stop the deal no matter what.

——After all, smuggling and selling mercury privately are illegal.

He crossed his fingers, his joints crackling, and approached the other person step by step. The girl in front of him had messy hair, a stain on her jacket, one sleeve rolled up, and a fearless expression in her eyes. She looked no different from every girl at the bottom of the Gotan gang.

They will do things for others to make a living, and sometimes they don't know if it is the right thing to do, they just do it to survive.

"I guess your companions have already taken the goods away?" He said in a bad tone, "and then you were left to hold me back. Robin is not one to stop beating women."

Weiwei: Huh?

But you look like you're going to hit someone, but the dot on the map is still green.

She thought about it, and then it dawned on her: "Thank you."

He killed so many of the Penguin's men that she had the chance to get the box without being exposed.

Tim: “?”

"Then I'm leaving," Weiwei nodded at him and threw the locator to him, "Thank you for your hard work. Goodbye, and go to bed early."

[Irritable][Tired][Sleepy] kept appearing above his head, it was like he was stacking buffs. Where on earth did he get the energy to look for her?

She gave three consecutive greetings to the person in front of her, but before Tim could react, a strange sound suddenly came from a fork in the road not far away, and it became louder and louder. Vivi turned her head to take a look, and suddenly ran in the opposite direction.

Tim hesitated for a second and chased towards the fork in the road. However, when he reached the end, he only saw a bunch of big rats running away. He opened the folding screen on his arm, and the positioning disappeared - just as Vivi was running away, Tim silently stuck another locator on her - but it was taken away again.

"Maybe I should send her picture to Peter..." Tim thought.

He tapped his forehead. Large-volume mercury transactions were not a good idea. He had lost the man. Perhaps he should tell Batman—

Tonight is another sleepless night.

Thanks to Silla Weiwei, she was able to run away successfully. Although she was not worried about what would happen to her, it was always a good thing to avoid a conflict.

The information about [Robin] was also updated after close contact. As one of the vigilantes of Gotan, he is not a bad guy after all. But this makes Weiwei very speechless: Why are you "Spiders", "Robin Birds" and "Penguins" named after animals but are all human beings?

I waited for nothing.

I don't know if Robin knows Spider-Man. Next time we meet, I'll ask him if he can help collect the debt.

But at this time, she had something else to do, which was to call the Iceberg Restaurant.

"You didn't complete our deal," she said. "Robin took the merchandise I needed."

There was silence on the other side for a while: "I'm sorry, sir, so how do you want to solve this matter? We will do our best to cooperate."

Weiwei made the right bet!

Thanks to the ultra-realistic gaming freedom——

The people at the Iceberg Restaurant only knew that the mercury had disappeared, but they didn't know whether it was Robin or her who took it.

Even smugglers have a certain reputation, and if a deal fails, the penguin people will not easily default on the debt.

Weiwei: “You need to refund the full amount.”

"Of course, my dear."

Weiwei: "And I still need this batch of goods, please deliver it as soon as possible, and we will change to a safe transaction location."

"...We will prepare as soon as possible. It will only take four to five days."

When Weiwei placed her second order, the other party gave her three days to complete the delivery. As expected, mercury is a metal that is inconvenient to store and very dangerous, and the entire Gotan has a limited supply of it. In order to complete the "transaction" three days later, the penguin man's compensation could only be "delayed" to four days later.

She vaguely realized something, as if she had found a clue to the solution to the problem.

Weiwei: "Five days? That's too long. I'm very disappointed with Iceberg Restaurant."

"Except for us, there is no other place in the whole of Gotan that can supply the goods you need," the voice on the other end of the phone became slightly tougher. "We are very sorry about what happened tonight. If you insist on canceling the order, we are willing to pay a certain amount of compensation."

After several verbal exchanges, the other party could only guarantee delivery within four days at the fastest. It seemed that even at their speed it would take four days.

Weiwei hung up the phone thoughtfully, then opened the panel -

【Fund allocation-commercial investment】——

[8. Create your own industrial pharmaceutical factory]

This was activated once mercury was obtained, and the most common use of mercury is in the manufacture of industrial chemicals.

Weiwei chose this one.

[Please note that players can only choose three activated business investments each month, and the minimum investment amount for each cannot be less than 200,000 gold coins. Are you sure about your choice? ]

【Sure】

The system automatically generated the job structure and salary template for the pharmaceutical factory manager and other personnel, and even loaded a decent official company website on the computer. Then there was the company address located in a remote area of ​​Gotan. It looked great, as if Weiwei really had such a factory address. However, in reality, the manager and employees needed her to choose from the employees.

Weiwei directly appointed Sherk as the factory director with a salary of 1 gold coin per month, and then sent a message to Sherk, asking him to start purchasing a batch of metals needed for the project in the name of a pharmaceutical factory starting tomorrow, with mercury mixed in, which was inconspicuous.

——Weiwei named this pharmaceutical factory "Iceberg Pharmaceutical Factory", and her purpose was almost obvious.

Mercury is a very interesting metal. It is widely used yet so dangerous. It is an outlier among metals. It may be one of the important props to overturn the penguin man.

Weiwei decided to short the entire market of mercury.

The office was empty and quiet, with only a brown-haired girl sitting cross-legged in the mayor's seat, playing with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses in her hands.

If Tim saw this scene, all his previous assumptions about Vivi would be overturned, but unfortunately he couldn't see it for the time being.

Weiwei opened the panel and quickly selected her second investment tonight——

23:55:17

The owner of the Iceberg Restaurant, Mr. Cobblepot, reached out and answered the strange phone. He was cursing his useless subordinates for the troublesome Robin. At this moment, he swore in his heart that he would break the nose of the person on the other end of the phone with an umbrella.

"Hello?"
