Gotha is a beautiful city.
Some people say that this city is like a scarred woman. Looking down from the sky, it is so prosperous, but underneath the prosperity hides dark scars. The walls that have been nailed with countless nails have holes left behind, and some people try to repair the scars and reshape the ideal Gothic.
But if Weiwei knew this, she would probably swing a hammer and smash this wall directly -
Then just rebuild on the ruins.
She broke the wall in front of her and climbed out of the hole. The searchlight of the plane swept across the sky. Vivi squinted her eyes and found that the small dot named "Batman" was approaching rapidly, and Robin had already faced off with the Penguin Man's men. The sound of fighting came from afar, and the sound of sticks hitting was muffled and heavy.
What?
It is true that the Batplane will not be subject to a "speed limit", but it is not a good idea for you guys to ignore the no-fly order!
...The worst thing is that they never pay compensation when they violate the regulations.
She left the locator in the warehouse, followed the shadows, and found the car along the trail. Sheila was dozing off wrapped in a blanket, not worrying at all about what would happen to her cheap teammate. When Millie saw her, she breathed a sigh of relief and started the car immediately.
A fire was lit up not far away. I wonder if Batman and Robin will fight with the Penguin Man's men until dawn.
On the map, the symbols belonging to Robin and Batman are moving deeper into the warehouse.
"Good luck to you," she said.
She sincerely thought so, it's great that Ge Tan has a vigilante!
The sirens filled the night sky. The Penguin Man's men were lying in a twisted state, and those who were still conscious were groaning in pain.
But the warehouse was empty.
No, not everything is left. At the end of the warehouse, there is a large sealed box.
Tim squatted down and took a piece of paper from the sealed box, which was covered with the locator and was pressed by a batarang.
The words on it were printed, and he showed them to Batman -
["14 liters of mercury. This is a gift for you, dear Batman. I am not an enemy. I hope we can be friends."]
He stood up and looked around at the empty shelves, as well as the explosives, guns, and expensive precision instruments that had been taken away along with the boxes. He shrugged and looked at Batman: "Friend?"
Batman was silent.
"How did they take all this without alerting the others?"
"Maybe the same way they took away the mercury, took away your batarang, and put a banana in your hand," Tim spread his hands. "I'll try to restore surveillance, but I'm not sure I'll get any valuable information."
...When the Penguin Man finally arrived, all he saw was a completely empty warehouse.
"Batman—"
The Penguin Man swore that he and Batman were irreconcilable!
This was destined to be a restless night. The local police station in South Hinckley was indeed very arrogant. It was not until noon the next day that the boss who was on good terms with the Penguin Man woke up and his men were released. Although he really wanted to shoot the guy who was sleeping like a dead pig, considering such a huge loss, the Penguin Man suppressed his anger.
He did lose a lot, more than any other time he had a conflict with Batman.
When did Batman learn magic? How on earth did he manage to transport the goods from four warehouses in one night?
After calming down, the penguin man began to become suspicious again:
"Maybe my people are colluding with Batman? Or maybe a traitor has been secretly transferring it for a long time, but it was only revealed today?"
The loss this time was not a big deal; his most important wealth was actually in his brain.
"As long as I have those smuggling connections and those connections with the upper echelons, he won't be able to completely defeat me."
but……
The penguin man stroked the umbrella and felt very sad. But after calming down, he still felt that there was something strange about the incident.
"I seem to have forgotten something?"
…
The Penguin Man forgot the contract he had signed.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, he seemed not to be prepared to return the 500,000 gold coins.
However, the system is fair and just, and the money will be automatically deducted when the time comes: this is how the transaction fees of mercury were paid before, and no one can cheat players out of their money.
——No one!
According to the contract, at 00:00:00 on April 17, if the Penguin Man does not have 500,000 gold coins in liquid funds in his account and is unable to pay 500,000 gold coins to Weiwei, everything he has will belong to "Mr. C".
And now, there are still ten minutes until the agreed time.
[Has invested in Iceberg Restaurant, investment amount is 500,000 gold coins (settlement time April 17 00:00:00)]
[You can check the current financial status of Iceberg Restaurant]
[Fixed asset settlement: 7.75 million gold]
[Liquidity Settlement: 89,000 Gold Coins]
It seems that Weiwei's behavior did not cause any serious damage to the Penguin Man. If he had some awareness of the contract on the 17th and thought that he still owed 500,000 gold, he might have been able to meet the requirements of the contract by selling fixed assets, such as real estate and shops.
But he didn't.
00:00:00
…
00:00:15
…
"beep--"
"Hello?" Weiwei answered the phone and said to the penguin man on the other end, "What's up, my friend?"
"..." After a long while, the penguin man's trembling voice finally appeared, "What did you do?"
【Investment amount returned in case of failure】
【Everything that the penguin has belongs to you, and this “everything” naturally includes himself.】
The contract drawing slowly disappeared with the burning special effects, and a new character appeared on Weiwei's employee panel. It was still the red name representing the enemy. In addition to communication, she could also control the opponent directly on the panel.
The moment he lost the bet, the penguin man lost himself, his money, and everything... So why not do something else but become a gangster with no protection at all!
Weiwei: "How do you feel now?"
"Not very good," the other party's mood seemed to stabilize, "What did you do? Are you a magician? Or a person with special abilities? You controlled me? I can't resist your request, and I instinctively have to answer your questions... What do you want? Mr. C?"
"Hmm..." Weiwei knocked on the table casually, looked at the wall she had covered with curtains, the lounge with broken windows, the bookcase filled with corpses, and stretched her arms and waist, "I don't want anything--"
"I admit I failed," the Penguin Man took a deep breath, and he gritted his teeth as he said the second half of the sentence, sounding like he wanted to kill someone, "You can take everything from me, you can make me work for you..."
"Ah," Weiwei said in surprise, "I've thought of something that only you can do!"
Her voice still sounded like a composite voice of gender to the penguin man, but after hearing these words, he actually relaxed a little.
"I want you to—"
The Penguin Man didn't understand how all this happened. He just owed a debt, but just after midnight, he felt as if a part of his soul had been taken away.
"Go find the police—"
His consciousness told him that the mysterious investor named "C" would be his master and he would not be able to resist any demands from him.
"Turning yourself over and telling the court what crime you committed—"
Whatever C asked him to do, he had to do it. He...
“And then go to jail.”
he...
Penguin: "Are you crazy?"
He jumped up from his chair: "Are you crazy? Don't you understand economics? Turn yourself in? I can make a lot of money for you. I know how to do business. I can bring you huge wealth, which is far more than letting me go to jail..."
"Maybe you're right," the voice on the other end sounded a little nonchalant, "I really don't understand economics."
"But you don't understand the game either," said C.
"Of course I want to make money," Weiwei said to herself after hanging up the phone on the screen, "but my real goal is to upgrade the city level of Gotan."

【Players please continue to work hard】
Colorful fireworks began to pop on the panel. Weiwei held her arms up with her fingers crossed. When the fireworks ended, she happily opened the package and counted her gold coins and the weapons in the package.
There will be a large amount of money coming in soon!
She is so happy!
She made a killing on her investment in the Iceberg Restaurant.
——Who said she doesn't understand economics?
April 17th was still a very ordinary day for the people of Gotam.
The public security is still so bad, the roads are extremely congested, and countless people come to Gotan to pan for gold, but Gotan does not welcome them.
Some people turned on the TV, some were playing on their phones, some tuned their car stereo to the city channel, and then -
"Hello, Gotan people, my name is Oswald Cobblepot, or perhaps you are more familiar with another code name, that is Penguin, I am the Penguin Man."
Jim, who was driving, was startled and quickly stopped the car on the side of the road: What happened? Did the gang successfully take over the TV station?
What's next? A terrorist attack? Taking hostages and threatening them? Or forcing the TV stations to start showing that bad movie that's been running for seven years?
"Actually, I'm not on TV. I'm currently at the Cotam Police Station. What I say next will be broadcast live—"
"I am a criminal," he said. "You all know that. It's obvious."
Jim suddenly fell silent, turned the steering wheel, and decided to continue listening.
"I hired assassins to kill people, smuggled arms, sold dangerous goods to those shady colleagues, indirectly caused several bombings, sold intelligence, bribed senior officials to protect my business... I started from scratch as an ordinary gangster and have reached the level I am today. In other cities, I have done things that would be enough to be shot 10,000 times. Countless families have been broken because of me, but I can't remember the names of any of them because I am just a bad guy."
Jim gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
"I am a bad person. Even now, I still don't think I have done anything wrong. I just failed," the penguin continued. "My case will be heard in court in three days. I will confess all the crimes I have committed."
"I love Cotton," he said finally, "... I am a Cotton man and I love her."
Jim sat in the car in a daze for a while, then he suddenly woke up and started searching the official website of the Gotan Court on his mobile phone, which updated the time of each trial. Normally, the time from surrender to trial would not be so fast, but obviously, as many people wanted the Penguin Man to be acquitted as many people wanted him to go to jail immediately, or even better, die in prison. That's why the trial was set three days later.
Jim filled out the application for auditing with trembling fingers. After successfully sending it, his hand slipped and the phone fell from his palm and fell on the carpet.
——He threw himself on the steering wheel and burst into tears.
Penguin man, penguin man, penguin man, penguin man…
No matter who is behind all this, no matter if this is an internal corruption of the gang... he and they have been waiting for this day for too long.
He stroked the necklace on his chest, which was a relic of his wife, who was once a mathematics teacher at Gotan Primary School.
Waiting for a day is really too long.
Bruce put his knife down and stared at the screen on TV.
Unlike car TVs that can only play audio, the penguin man's confession will be played on the TV screen, and his face will naturally appear - perhaps because the news is so explosive, most local TV stations in Gotham are broadcasting this scene in real time.
Tim, the adopted son, almost fell into his coffee cup, but when he heard the penguin man's voice on TV, he sat up straight with a start.
Today is a rare sunny day.
After the speech was played once, it was replayed three times on TV, but no one cared that it seemed to be a mistake made by the staff. Tim and Bruce looked at each other and touched their foreheads: "Maybe I'm not awake yet. I'd better go back to sleep."
The most reliable old housekeeper in the family stood aside: "Maybe replacing coffee with milk can help you get a better sleep, Master Tim. Drinking coffee early in the morning is not a good habit."
"Umm, I just had too much work last night," the boy clasped his hands and begged for mercy from the old man who was like his grandfather, "But, Bruce..."
He said: "It seems that there is indeed an unfamiliar force targeting the penguin people recently."
Is it a magician or a psychic mutant? Obviously, that person has special abilities. Just like what the penguin said, he just failed this time, which does not mean that he thinks he is really guilty - but under the coercion of the other party, he must confess.
"If that person really has special abilities, why didn't he manipulate the Penguin Man into confessing his guilt and then handing over all his property? Instead, he did so much more," Bruce was silent for a moment. "And if he didn't have this ability, why did the Penguin Man appear there?"
He looked at the frozen screen, his old rival was handcuffed (that meant nothing to him), and next to him were the GCPD police officers. He sat there with a more powerful aura than all the other police officers, as if he was the master of the place.
This scene is so funny that it looks like an April Fool's joke, but April Fool's Day has been over half a month ago and it's not funny at all.
Bruce's emotions were very complicated, but he quickly suppressed the emotions that were revealed.
"I think we can check the flow of funds of the Penguin People. Whoever is the ultimate beneficiary will be the most suspicious..."
Alfred coughed.
Bruce: "Well...but I think you should get some sleep first. How long have you not been to school?"
Tim raised an eyebrow. “I finished my exam early, so I can study for the next semester at home.”
Otherwise, how could he find the time to be a vigilante and manage Wayne Enterprises at the same time?
The possibility that the so-called "surrender" is a trap set by the Penguin Man cannot be ruled out. Preparations should be made in advance for the trial three days later. No one knows what will happen then - both vigilantes have thought of this.
Compared to the vigilante group who are not mayors but have the mayor's heart, Weiwei herself has already fallen into the happiness of "I am so rich, how can I be so rich"——
After the Penguin Man surrendered himself, the GCPD seized his assets according to procedures, such as the Iceberg Restaurant in the Diamond District and the assets provided by the Penguin Man himself. He also had other warehouses, and even the land of the emptied warehouses could be sold for a large sum of money.
However, it will take some time to deal with these fixed assets, and Weiwei is also thinking... How to deal with these illegally smuggled items?
Most of them are dangerous weapons that cannot be circulated on the market, and Mayor Gotan can't be an arms dealer, right?
In addition, the materials that Vivi had Sherk purchase at a high price in order to deceive the penguin people would definitely not be sold at the original price and would have to be kept in her hands. After paying the employees' salaries at the end of the month, she would only have about 400,000 in cash left. Although the fixed assets were nearly 3 million, they could not be cashed in in the short term.
Because according to the procedure, the Penguin Man's assets can only be auctioned after he is sentenced, including the land in the Diamond District.
——But how can I repay the loan from No. 1 Bank?
There are still thirteen days left, and Weiwei has to think of a solution.
[Main Mission: Underground Map]
[Current mission progress 97%]
"I didn't go everywhere," Sheila said, looking a little disappointed. "There was one place where the mice told me there were dangerous creatures, so I avoided it."
She placed the two rings on the table and looked at the blonde woman in front of her.
Ever since the glass was turned into a high wall, the lights in the mayor's office have always been on. The mayor's wife showed no signs of joy or anger, but simply turned her gaze to the ring.
"I remember you didn't finish school." She suddenly brought up another subject.
Sheila was stunned: "Yes, I have no money..."
If she hadn't been sent to Blackgate Prison, she wouldn't even have thought of how to survive, so the prison was like her second home.
"Go to school, Sheila," Weiwei said, "Your job is paid, and you can use the salary to go to school. I hope you can learn something in school, so that you can take on more and more complicated jobs."
"School..." Sheila lowered her head, and suddenly raised her head and asked, "Which school do you want me to go to?"
This question really stumped Weiwei, but she quickly gave the answer: "Gotan College, you are the right age, and..."
"Although it is located on Naihe Island, the probability of this college being attacked by bombings and gunfire each year is relatively low."
——It should be safer!
Vivi and Sheila were both satisfied with leaving Sheila's schooling to Millie.
The girl thought that it was "Weiwei" who told the "mayor" her doubts yesterday, so the mayor sent her to school and she was valued - at this time she completely forgot that she had used her salary in advance to pay for her tuition.
Weiwei felt that she had found a good way to improve the NPC's various values. She wondered if she could raise Sheila's attribute values a bit in the last semester so that she could become another Sherk in the future?
I wish her a happy study life in Gotan College.
"Okay..." She put on the two rings, "Now it's time to deal with this main mission."
There is indeed a semicircular black area on the underground map, which is obviously the 3% unexplored area.
The unexplored area is located to the east of Gotan, not far from Naihe Island. Weiwei directly called the director of the City Hall’s security department and asked him to come to her to collect the equipment. Then she and the GCPD took guns and went to the target location she mentioned.
Half an hour later——
"Madam Mayor, we found a lurking 'Killer Crocodile' underground. Seven police officers were injured, but fortunately no one died. The injured have been sent to the hospital... I'm sorry, but the Killer Crocodile still escaped."
[“You have done a good job. Issue a notice to alert the citizens, and then leave the task to the GCPD.”]
The captain of the guard burst into tears: "Thank you, kind lady."
The bloodstains in the mayor's office had not yet been cleaned up, and he was still a little scared when he took the strange ring from the lady.
Now he wouldn't be disposed of by the lady just because he failed to perform his task well, right?
[Side quest "Paw Prints in the Sewer" completed]
[The claw marks come from Killer Crocodile. You have activated a new character card.]
[You get a side quest: Hunt down the killer crocodile]
[Population is a valuable asset, don't let this guy cause trouble, Tip: Killer Crocodiles have many similar living habits to crocodiles]
Let's leave this task to the officials for now, since the arrest warrant for Killer Crocodile has been hanging for a long time anyway.
Weiwei didn't know that inside City Hall, her reputation was very... terrible.
Legend has it that she could make the rebellious former secretary general obey her orders overnight, fire hundreds of people at a time, and make those former customers work like pigs for her while receiving the lowest salary. Since she took office, the employees have become more motivated to work, so they leave work earlier. However, after all employees leave work, the mayor herself will not leave the city hall.
She might have used some magic in the town hall, or she might have summoned her real men at night to plot something.
Weiwei, who actually just thought that leaving get off work early could save some water and electricity bills:?
She rubbed her nose. After half a month of hard work, the main task at hand finally made some progress.
[You have completed the main mission: Underground Map (I)]
[You received [New Gotan Sewer Construction Drawing] x1, [Mysterious Gift Bag] x1]
Weiwei looked at the engineering drawings first.
She found that the aging problem of Gotham's sewers was very serious. Moreover, because Gotham was a coastal city, it was made up of large and small islands, and the city center was just a larger island. The progress of the sewer construction was different, and the construction plan did not cover the suburbs... It seemed that the home of the wealthy Wayne was in the suburbs? It seemed that the sewer renovation led by the City Hall this time could not cover the location of his home.
Wayne looks a bit disappointed?
[You have activated the main quest: Gotan Underground (Part 2)]
You discovered three main problems underground:
First, the terrain is uneven, and during the flood season, places like the East Gotan District are often flooded. The accumulated water is dirty and carries germs, and the poor citizens living in the East Gotan District cannot afford the high medical expenses.
Second, the water leakage problem is serious. Due to the continuous problems of explosions, gun battles, and changes of rulers over the years, the underground water leakage problem has not been solved. Some areas have been on the verge of collapse after several repairs.
3. The housing problem of the homeless. Many homeless people, criminals, and even ordinary residents will use the underground as their temporary residence when necessary. If they are driven away directly, they will be homeless. 】
[Players are requested to choose how to solve the problems they are facing and successfully complete the construction of the [Construction Drawing] to transform the Gotan Underground]
[Reward: 0~1.5 million gold coins, 500 diamonds]
"To put it simply, we need to catch the criminals hiding underground, resettle the unemployed, and relocate the people living in the East District when we transform the underground... and the system won't give me anything except a blueprint..." Weiwei sighed, "Gotan is really a difficult city."
It's fun only when it's difficult enough. She opened the gold mall first. Her luck was better today, and [Second-hand AI] was refreshed again.
The three items in the gold coin mall today are [Second-hand AI], [Leaf Trash Can], and [A Box of Useful Conditioner].
The first two are repetitive items, while conditioner can speed up the growth of hair.
...it can only make it longer, but it can't prevent you from having a bald head.
"If it can prevent baldness, maybe I can dilute it and sell it for money..." Weiwei subconsciously thought about making money, "I, the mayor, will become like a gold coin."
She thought of something!
Weiwei took out her [Barber's Blade].
The barber blades, which also come from the Gold Coin Mall, seem to be able to be used with shampoo. People with longer hair will become less and less demanding after using this blade to cut their hair.
Weiwei certainly doesn't need such a tool who has no desires, but some groups seem to be easier to manage if they have fewer desires.
Now that she is rich enough, she can buy all three.
A loading bar appeared on the computer screen, the virtual AI began to load, and then a ball rolled out from the corner of the computer.
[Hello.]
There were also text bubbles appearing above the ball.
"Hello," This AI should be considered to complement the guidance function of the system, but it actually requires players to pay to buy it. In fact, it appears in the gold mall to trick players into buying gift packs... The planner is really shameless. She didn't say anything more to the AI and quickly entered the state, "Okay, let's start working."
After AI is installed, the [Transfer] logo appears on every interface of the system.
——She transferred the maps, construction drawings, role sheets and package information to the computer.
[I have received all the information and am planning the construction method and route for you, integrating the role card information for you, and estimating the material prices for you...]
Weiwei was stunned.
This AI is quite smart. She thought it would be artificially retarded, but it seems to be more reliable than Sherk and takes the initiative to complete the work.
Besides, Sherk needs to eat, drink water and sleep (that's why NPCs have to be so real), but AI can work non-stop.
——That sounds great.
"What else can you do?" she asked.
[In fact, I can't do much.]
[This computer only contains information about the city of Gotam. All information cannot be transferred to other cities.]
[This computer cannot be linked to other electronic devices, so I cannot transfer or back up information. The camera hardware is broken and cannot be turned on. I can only ask you to manually move the location.]
"Hey, can you operate all the mechanical equipment?"
[Yes ma'am, this is the basis]
Weiwei: "If I put you on a sweeping robot, can you be responsible for the hygiene of the office?"
"It would be even better if you could help me build a wall, but isn't that too much of a hassle for a sweeping robot?"
"By the way, it's free, right?"
Although the AI was suspiciously silent for a while, it still agreed. Unfortunately, Vivi didn't find the sweeping robot, so she let Millie buy it after she was done.
There is still a mysterious gift package that has not been opened, and she is going to open it and take a look.
【Mysterious Gift Bag】
[Open the gift pack and you will get what you need most at this moment]
Weiwei stared at the gift package on the screen, muttering to herself: tool man, tool man, tool man…
【Gift Pack Opened】
[You get [Sapphire Fishtail Evening Dress Set] x1, 100,000 gold coins]
[Congratulations to the player. This dress can only be drawn from the diamond pool, and there is a very small chance that it will be drawn from the mystery gift pack.]
Weiwei: “?”
Can you put it back in?
"Madam Mayor, excuse me," the person knocking on the door was another assistant that Vivi was not familiar with. Sherk formed a team of assistants after taking over the job, but Vivi didn't care who they were - as long as the salary didn't increase. The other party held an invitation in both hands, "It's an invitation to Mr. Wayne's dinner party. The time is 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Do you want to attend? How should I reply?"
【Royal blue fishtail evening dress suit】
[Expensive and luxurious fabrics, close-fitting and exquisite designs, clothes are also one of the business cards for socializing]
[When wearing this look, your [social] ability is greatly improved, your trading requests seem more credible, and perhaps you can get more investment? ]
【Note: All appearances provided by the system can be switched with one click】
Weiwei: "No, there's no need to put it back..."
Assistant: “Huh?”
Weiwei: "I was thinking I'd go, so you don't need to prepare clothes for me. By the way, do you have anything else to do?"
"Dean Sharp wants to visit you and is currently in the waiting room."
Sharp, Quincy Sharp, current director of Arkham Asylum.
There was once a proposal to "build Arkham City", to lock up all criminals and let them fend for themselves - in fact, this proposal is not hopeless, the question is why this Arkham City should be built in the city center?
Gotan’s economy will also be left to fend for itself!
And isn't it really like raising pigs to lock up all the criminals?
Because of this proposal, Weiwei had a bad initial impression of Sharp. She felt that this man seemed to be mentally ill.
Maybe it's because I've been around mentally ill people for too long.
"So what do you want from me? A side quest? Building Arkham Asylum?"
Dean Sharp is not tall but very thin. He has sunken eye sockets and looks like he hasn't had a good rest for a long time.
As he approached the office, he first turned his head to look around, his eyes lingering on the curtains on the wall and the steel plate behind Weiwei for a while, then he turned to the owner of the room.
However, Anna Alec did not play by the rules. He neither got a chair and a cup of coffee, nor did he see the woman who was angry because of his contemptuous attitude.
Their mayor didn't even look up while speaking, his fingers were typing on the computer, as if he didn't take Sharp's visit seriously at all.
Sharp coughed deliberately.
The woman poked her head out from behind the computer and glanced at him with her lead-gray eyes. "No mission? I'm not interested in meeting someone to improve my impression of him. This isn't an otome game."
Sharp took a deep breath and said, "Ms. Alec, have you read my proposal?"
"Arkham City?" The woman shook her head. "I reject your suggestion. It's outrageous."
"What if I can get funding from somewhere else? Ma'am," Sharp raised his chin slightly, "You just need to agree to this decree, and then, Gotham will no longer have those annoying criminals. They will all be locked up in the city within the city."
The mayor who had neglected him finally came out from behind her desk, but as soon as she stood up, Sharp's face froze.
The mayor was half a head taller than him in her high heels.
"I'm just trying to improve your impression. Can you tell me the 'funding channel'? There's no need to build a city," the mayor said lazily. "I won't allow anyone to build a city in the city center. Gotan is my city."
"Then our negotiation is broken." Sharp said stiffly. He tried to turn around and leave, but Weiwei's stride was longer than him and she held his shoulder with one hand.
"Wait," Weiwei forcibly pulled the other person's shoulders and pushed them to the desk, "You are in charge of Arkham Asylum. It must be difficult to control so many criminals every day, right?"
Sharp: “?” He struggled, and he failed. Is this mayor omnipotent?
"I hope to donate some supplies to you in the name of the City Hall..." The mayor let him go, then put one hand on the table and walked over to search for something under it.
Sharp straightened his tie and stood up again: Is this a gesture of goodwill?
He decided to look at what the mayor was going to take out: antiques, gems, or bank cards? Why did it feel like something big?
...Weiwei took out a cardboard box, thought for a while, opened the box, took out half of the [Effective Conditioner] from the box, pushed the remaining half to Sharp, and looked at him encouragingly.
"These are for the mentally ill criminals. You're welcome. Please let them use them."
Sharp looked at the beauty carefully and suspected that their young mayor was also mentally ill.
Half a box of conditioner? You only donated half a box of conditioner? It's still a whole box, are you reluctant to give away the other half or what?
He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the mayor lifted the box with one hand and forcefully stuffed it into his arms, then said, "By the way, let's take a photo together. I haven't tweeted yet today."
Sharp couldn't get away at all and was forcibly dragged to take a photo. In the photo, his expression was stiff and he was holding a cardboard box, just like a city hall employee who had just been fired.
He wanted to get angry, but the mayor had strange strength, and it seemed that she could crush him to death with one hand, so he held it back for the time being - the worst that could happen was that he would just throw the box away when he got out.
After Weiwei posted her tweets and completed her daily tasks, she began to tidy up her desk.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to give up the remaining half box, but she thought that in addition to Arkham's need, Blackgate Prison would also have to send a batch.
She pulled out a box from the space, took out all the items inside, and then put the conditioner in. She decided to wait for her assistant to come and send it to Blackgate Prison... But when she looked up, she found that Sharp had not left yet.
Weiwei: "Dean Sharp?"
Sharp stared at the mechanical bomb that Vivi had casually placed on the table - it was taken out to empty the box for conditioner - turned to look at Vivi, and nodded stiffly.
