An NPC named "Quincy Sharp" seemed to have a special liking for this proposal and submitted seven in three years, but they were all rejected by the previous mayor.
Just at this time, Weiwei found the computer, and she searched what "Arkham City" was.
The computer can only open web pages related to "Gotan". It is estimated that the game world is only as big as Gotan City. Players cannot go to other cities. Maybe other cities only have illustrations to supplement the world background.
This makes sense, I guess.
The first thing that appeared was the introduction to "Arkham" -
"Eh," Weiwei touched her chin, "The mental hospital on Naihe Island in Gotan City..."
Is this proposal outrageous?
"Will I make money by building a bigger insane asylum in the city center?"
No wonder the former mayor disagreed with the proposal, but why was it able to be submitted to the mayor? It doesn't make sense.
Weiwei flipped through it again and found that apart from the popular science in the first article, the rest were all kinds of gossip, such as -
#Shock! Chou escapes from Arkham Asylum again#
#Bane was imprisoned in the underground prison of Arkham Asylum. Is this inhumane?#
#Two-Face escapes from prison again, saying "Arkham can't hold me, let Batman come"#
Weiwei:?
Weiwei's brows slowly furrowed.
Something's wrong, isn't it?
She used her computer to access the city hall's intranet and pulled up a report from the previous mayor's term.
The report clearly shows:
Over the years, the city government has spent 87% of the city government's available funds on "building repair and reconstruction" and "citizen death compensation", which is more than one million gold for Weiwei, and all of this is due to the damage caused by criminals.
It is worth noting that government funds were not enough to make up for the deficit and fill the mess caused by the criminals. During this period, the local "Wayne Enterprise" in Gotham donated a lot of money on a voluntary basis, which basically supported half of the operation of the city hall. If it were not for Wayne Enterprise... the Gotham City Government would have declared bankruptcy long ago - if the city government could declare bankruptcy.
Weiwei was so shocked that she was speechless.
From this perspective, "Arkham City" is a solution that seems absurd at first glance, but is actually feasible.
Arkham City is a city within a city built in the center of Gotham. All prisoners, such as the lunatics who committed serious crimes in Arkham Asylum and the Gotham criminals in Blackgate Prison, are imprisoned there. Laws and morals are ignored here, and criminals make their own laws in this dangerous city within a city. There are two different worlds separated by a wall.
But there is no way that Weiwei will pass this proposal even if she is beaten to death!
Anyone with an IQ greater than 2 can understand that no city would build a prison in the city center, and no mayor would agree to have a city within a city that is not under his jurisdiction. What kind of anti-intellectual operation is this! ?
And this "Quincy Sharp" who wanted to perform a magical operation was the current director of Arkham Asylum, which made Weiwei wonder: Has he become mentally abnormal after being the director of the asylum for so long?
However, we cannot just leave these lunatics who are causing so much damage alone.
"The city government and Wayne Enterprises spend a lot of money every month to maintain and upgrade the facilities of Arkham Asylum, and all prisons should also be upgraded... Why are there still so many criminals escaping?"
And the frequency is so high, returning to Arkham is like going home, and jailbreaking is like going out to buy groceries. Aren't you too comfortable?
"But... who is this Batman?"
an hour ago.
Peter Parker, who broke through the wall and escaped from the mayor's office, took a long detour and hid on a high building. When he heard that the guards had stopped chasing him, he returned to Gotham College.
It is worth mentioning that Gotham High School is located on the island of Nehe, and there are two well-known landmark buildings on the island of Nehe: Gotham Academy and Arkham Asylum.
Although it's far from Arkham Asylum, studying in this academy is also quite intimidating.
But Peter felt relatively free, or comfortable there - probably because the nearest building was Arkham Asylum, which was famous for its disasters and misfortunes. The students in the school lived on the same island with them, and even campus violence was rarely seen.
Maybe it’s because the biggest violent organization is right next door.
As a good student, as long as he didn't think about who lived next door, Peter thought Gotham College was pretty good. Moreover, as a private school, the faculty was strong and the teachers were humorous. He also made good friends, such as Bruce Wayne's adopted son, Tim Drake.
"So you accidentally broke into the town hall, and then you saw a blonde lady, and you broke down a wall to avoid being shot..."
His friend Tim just came to the dormitory to pick up something. He usually lives in Wayne Manor. When he noticed that he came home late, he asked him a few more questions.
"Yes..." Peter scratched his hair, "Well, I also met a girl who seemed to want to sneak into the city hall, and it seemed that she encountered gunfire - I heard gunshots, but I didn't find the enemy after I rushed over, and she disappeared in the mayor's office."
Is that really an office? Why is one wall covered with steel bars?
If he hadn't found the door and the normal wall, Peter would have thought he had run into a prison.
He described Weiwei's appearance to Tim, and Tim nodded thoughtfully: "Don't worry, I will check it out."
After the chat, Tim told Peter that it would be better not to go out recently - Arkham did not seem peaceful - and then left in a hurry.
Tim seems to be very busy, and Peter understands him because he is also a vigilante, just like Spider-Man, but the difference is that Peter is still fighting alone, while Tim has a companion.
He is Batman's assistant, currently Robin.
There was one thing that Tim didn't mention to Spider-Man. He didn't come to the dormitory specifically to pick up something, but he stopped by the school when he was sending the prisoners back to Arkham.
Gotan is not peaceful tonight. After a busy night, Tim finds his safe house nearby and begins to try to invade the surveillance of the city hall.
There is no surveillance in the mayor's office, but there is surveillance everywhere else.
This invasion...found something wrong.
"Anna Alec, the illegitimate daughter of the head of the Diamond family in New York, is 26 years old this year." This age is too young. Tim picked up the coffee cup and thought, "Looking at this transfer...Did the Diamond family give up on her?"
“She came to Gotham three days ago and didn’t seem to issue any orders or change the current structure of the city hall… It seems that many people don’t know she is the new mayor yet?”
Tim shrugged: Anyway, for most people in Cotton, it doesn't make any difference whether there is a mayor or not. This shitty city is still shitty and it seems that nothing will change for hundreds of years.
So they had no expectations.
But something seemed to have changed on April 1st.
There were records of the engineering team entering and leaving the office, and Tim used cameras from other angles to reconstruct what happened outside the mayor's office. Although he still couldn't see the inside, he could guess what the situation was at the time.
"Is there a killer?"
"Hmm...it looks like the killer's first assassination attempt failed..."
"Peter said he heard gunshots when he was sneaking in. Maybe something happened. Maybe the killer carried out a second assassination?"
"But he didn't see anything later... I have to check this killer," Tim thought, "After all, it's rare to see a hired killer who failed in two assassination attempts."
Bat is still busy with Arkham affairs these days, and Black Mask seems to be ready to make a move. Tim thinks he can handle this by himself.
——He is Robin from Batman.

There seemed to be only so many character profile cards that could be unlocked online, and Weiwei also received a few side quests.
[Side Quest: Obtain funding from Wayne]
[Mission Rewards: 0~500,000 gold (will be directly injected into public funds)]
[Side Quest: You may be able to unlock the reputation module through the network]
[Let more people know that you are the mayor of Gotan City (when the proportion is greater than 50% of the total population of Gotan, the reputation module will be unlocked)]
[Task Description: Register a Twitter account]
Not all characters will have unlocked character cards, probably because only real information is recorded on the character cards. So even though Weiwei has seen reports about Catwoman and Two-Face on the Internet, most of them were published by tabloids, and their authenticity obviously did not pass the system's judgment, so Weiwei just treated it as reading a short story - to be honest, those fancy stories made up by the tabloids are quite interesting.
Currently, she has three tasks to complete:
Simply put, they are "ask for money from Black Mask", "ask for money from Wayne Ritter", and "register a Twitter account". Obviously the third one is the easiest.
The account registration process was not difficult. After registering the account "Anna Elek" and being authenticated as the mayor of Gotan, Weiwei received her first daily task so far.
[Daily Task: Post a tweet with a personal photo (01)]
[Proof that you are alive and well, Madam Mayor]
[Reward: 100 gold coins]
Weiwei clenched her fists with emotion: "You are finally willing to give a guarantee to this rubbish planner!?"
Even if it is only one hundred gold coins, it is a huge sum of money for Weiwei now.
The system panel can take photos. She thought about it and realized that since "life is rich and colorful", the system might not recognize just taking some daily photos.
A few minutes later.
[Anna Elek (Mayor of Gotham)]
[Hello, Spider-Man.]

In the picture, a blonde woman is sitting with her legs crossed on the ruins of a wall. The carved door next to it is also captured in the picture. Obviously, this is a poor wall, and now there is a big hole in the wall with dust flying around. The woman is supporting her chin with one hand, with a half-smile on her face.
It looks like there's nothing wrong, Weiwei thought.
She deliberately took the photo in this pose here, hoping that Spider-Man would have a conscience - remember the damage he had caused - and send the compensation to the City Hall with her name on it.
What to do if you have no money?
Weiwei: If you don’t have money, go get a loan!
The number of views on her tweets increased rapidly, probably because she had certification, and her followers were also increasing, but for some reason there was not a single comment.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard coming closer. Weiwei turned around and saw Sherk with a pale face.
The former secretary-general who had been transformed into a "workaholic" stumbled over, and Weiwei narrowed her eyes——
When she got close enough, she discovered that there was an additional attribute on the opponent's panel.
