【Silent Night】

The shrunken city of Gotham gradually took shape with the tree in Crime Alley as its center. In the dark city, only the light from the tree could bring spiritual comfort to people.

There were not many criminals imprisoned here, and they soon discovered the principle of the glow of the colorful street trees - emotional glow.

Human fear makes it glow warmly with golden light, anger is blue, and happiness is purple, Uncle Chou tells everyone. In a few days, they fought more than one battle to seize the position around the giant tree. However, human bodies can be resurrected, but weapons that have been used up will not reappear.

Out of sight of the criminals, those "weapons" turned into ashes, some rising into the sky, and some sinking down, forming part of the city.

The criminals fought to the death over a tree and actively created fear, but what they didn't know was that there were about a thousand trees like this in the real city of Gotham.

One thousand trees in the entire city is actually not a lot. If we follow the law of averages, there will be only one colorful street tree in about seven thousand square meters.

However, this is not how the city is planned. Weiwei scanned the blueprint.

The reward drawings were just a reference, telling her how many shrubs and trees she should prepare and which areas should be changed into lawns and flowers. The drawings were modified at Poison Ivy's request, although her request did not take into account the needs of the citizens, but rather where the trees were more suitable to be planted.

Now Weiwei is going to replace all the tall trees on the drawing with [Colorful Street Trees]. It is estimated that 2,287 trees will be needed, but she is not going to actually plant all of these glowing trees.

"First, we need to consider this tree as a street lamp," Weiwei pondered for a moment, "Although this type of street lamp does not consume electricity, it is also unstable."

The greening drawings do not include residential areas where people gather, because residential areas in cities are not public areas, and the greening of these areas is the responsibility of the contractors themselves.

She stared at the two rows of trees in the business district, thought for a moment, and suddenly looked at the scales on the table.

After handing the task over to Poison Ivy and asking her trumpet Bella Betiven to keep an eye on Poison Ivy, Vivi opened the closet and returned home. Now she is in her bedroom.

The props purchased from the mall can be temporarily left on the panel. Weiwei clicked the left end of the scale, and then dragged dozens of trees on the panel in her consciousness.

[You used the Transformer to transform [48 colorful street trees] into [a huge colorful street tree], and the transformation was successful]

This tree will be taller and more conspicuous than the one in Crime Alley. It will be planted in the commercial district. The commercial center of Gotham is located in the Diamond District, with a huge flow of people. This tree will become a truly "colorful" tree.

In addition, the ordinary tree species along the river and beach in the drawings are replaced with colorful street trees. This place is far away from residential areas and residents often fall into the sea accidentally. At least it can achieve a simple lighting effect.

Weiwei still remembers that she placed the first tree in Crime Alley because Crime Alley was always dark at night, the street lights would be shattered, and the windows of the tall buildings were closed. Who knows what Crime Alley is like at night? In addition to the people of Crime Alley who are already hated by the citizens, only Batman and Robin know. But now, Crime Alley has street lights and order, and there will be many, many flowers in the future.

"Then there are schools, such as Gotham University, Gotham College on the Island of Death, and Arkham as well. Well... I think Blackgate Prison also needs greening." Anyway, there is no need to worry about light pollution in prisons because the cells of criminals don't have windows.

In economically developed areas such as the Diamond District, Chinatown, Odisburg, etc., Weiwei transforms dozens of trees into one giant tree. The reason is actually very simple -

The land here, even though it was a public area, was very valuable, and she believed that growing this special plant here would not be as trouble-free as Crime Alley.

At that time, if the Gotan Chamber of Commerce wants to refuse planting on the grounds of economic land use, or wants to dig up the tree, the environmental organizations will not agree in the first place because it is a huge tree, obviously quite old, and has a high conservation value.

By then, there will be no need for Weiwei to refuse. She can just watch the environmental organizations and the economic organizations fight each other.

"Ivy," Weiwei called Poison Ivy, "You have acquaintances in Gotham University and plant protection... I need you to issue a report on a special plant to prove that it can only be grown on certain lands in Gotham."

Poison Ivy remembered to write a thesis in prison and successfully published it. She naturally has acquaintances in the academic world - she herself is one of the great powers in the academic world. Those academic guys don’t care whether you are a villain or not. Ivy is a person worth studying. If she hadn’t been imprisoned in Arkham, she would probably have to attend various academic meetings every day.

However, because of her strong fighting ability, she was not captured by some evil doctor and turned into an experimental subject - anyone who wanted to capture her would have been turned into fertilizer for the flowers long ago.

"Do you think I would commit academic fraud?" Ivy was very unhappy about the frequent interruptions to her experiments. "Research requires patience. I must see the results of the experiment before I can testify for you."

She stared at the roses in front of her. The roses planted in the pots looked like they were asleep, but there were tens of thousands of flowers like this one in the other party's garden.

Poison Ivy raised her head coldly and glanced at Warden Betty Wen who was guarding the door and playing with her fingers. She raised her hand to put her hair behind her ears, walked over and put one hand on the wall behind Betty Wen, forming a wall-dong posture. The tall woman in front of her seemed to be stunned for a moment, then she raised her head to look at her, her eyes revealing real confusion, but she did not resist.

The reaction was a bit stupid, but it was much better than those guys who were scared on the spot.

"Why don't you take me to see the plant that the little knight told you about, warden?"

The man in front of her was speechless for a while, then he pushed her hand away and pushed a black motorcycle out from behind the door: "In Crime Alley, want to get on?"

The vines on Poison Ivy's arms moved. She got on the back of the motorcycle and put her arm around the woman's waist. "Crime Alley? Looks like I'll be able to see a lot of old friends."

Weiwei was now much more skilled at double-opening. She just wanted to make the warden and the mayor look a little cooler. She asked her trumpet to take Poison Ivy to see the trees. At the same time, she gave the order for the logistics department to take action.

Before she drew the alchemy, Vivi spent all of Wayne's investment money on hiring workers. She was preparing to start construction in full swing to speed up the completion of the sewer construction. Now that the sewer is completed, the team she hired can still complete other tasks, such as planting street trees and building low-cost resettlement housing for the east district.

The economy in the East District is underdeveloped and its urban planning also has serious problems. Due to the poor public security, the vicious cycle has deteriorated year after year and it has become an accident-prone area and a hotbed for criminals.

The first thing Weiwei wanted to do, or what she had been doing, was to eliminate prostitution. She wanted to make sure that the prostitution industry did not exist in Gotan - but before that, she could not directly cut off the livelihoods of those women. Except for a few, most of them had no knowledge and no experience, so they could only become prostitutes.

So she worked hard to provide them with various jobs. Iceberg Construction Company and Cathedral Shelter would give them priority in providing jobs. It was not that Weiwei discriminated against them. Compared with the violent and brave men, the lower-class women were more able to seize opportunities. Perhaps it was because there were too few opportunities available to them.

In addition, they can provide food for the construction workers and complete some odd manual work. However, due to lack of knowledge, their options are destined to be fewer than others. Apart from selling their bodies, they can only rely on these hard ways to make a living. The City Hall cannot provide financial assistance forever. Now that the underground construction is completed, they are in poor health and can do less and less work.

Weiwei frowned and pondered for a while, then clicked on [System Interface]-[Main Mission]-[New Parliament]-[Agenda]. The proposal in front of her was to build an adult school in the East District, provide student loans, free accommodation and meals, and pay off the loan within ten years after graduation. However, just by looking at the agenda, it was clear that there would be no benefit in completing this proposal in a short period of time, whether it was half a year, a year, or a few years.

"Pass," Weiwei muttered, "Anyway... Wayne pays."

A lot of gold coins flowed out, and the construction workers now had the task of completing the construction of schools and dormitories. However, they were still sleeping and knew nothing about it.

Then Weiwei assigned the guy who raised this issue in the new parliament to be the person in charge of the school construction task. This guy was a plumber in the Gotham Railway before joining the parliament. He is 46 years old and has a daughter and a son. His daughter is in college in New York, and his son likes to travel around the world taking photos. His wife is three years older than him and has a cheerful and enthusiastic personality. He also has two dogs at home, named Jupiter and Duke.

However, after reading his resume, Weiwei still couldn't remember the man's name. It should be a very popular name. He seemed like an ordinary middle-aged man, the type who would stop and say hello enthusiastically when meeting a neighbor on the street.

——Just like the friends that everyone has.

She closed the interface and didn't look at her now much worse gold coin column. Anyway, the number of gold coins is changing all the time. Money is only worth money when it enters the market and circulates. Poison Ivy and Bella started chatting over there. She felt the consciousness of the colorful tree on Crime Alley, and it said:

"I like Ko Tam, and I like this place too."

The sun rose, and golden light pierced through the clouds. Poison Ivy, who had disguised herself as a normal human, raised her hand to lower her sun hat, returned to the motorcycle, and said, "Let's go."

The black motorcycle was traveling through the cramped space. The sky became a long and thin gap between the buildings, and it also looked like a stream with gray clouds flowing. The morning in Crime Alley was as quiet as night. Occasionally, the sound of gargoyles flapping their wings could be heard. The motorcycle passed by other people. The black cat on the roof barked, shook its neck, and rolled on the roof.

Weiwei's phone rang almost at the same time as the mayor's office. She took out her phone in confusion, and AI also sent a message saying that it was Sherk who called the mayor's office and wanted to report to her on the progress of the mission.

An unfamiliar number appeared on her original body's phone. Bella was riding a motorcycle at the time, and Vivi certainly couldn't let the mayor answer the call. She raised her eyebrows and answered the call to her original body.

"Miss Vivi White," a male voice came from the other side, with a flattering tone, "It's a pleasure to communicate with you. Perhaps I should introduce myself first, Oswald Cobblepot, of course..."

He seemed a little shy: "My friends also call me Penguin Man."

"Greetings to you and the respected Mr. C."

You obviously hate the nickname "Penguin". It's not your friends who call you that, but your enemies.

The Penguin Man didn't know how he got Vivi's phone number. As expected, smart people can find a way anywhere. In order to control the Black Mask's industry, Sherk promoted him from the engineering team. If he was still in the team, his fate would probably be the same as those prisoners who had been deprived of their labor for a month and are now lying in hospital beds.

And he took the initiative to call Weiwei...

Weiwei raised her eyebrows: That’s interesting.
