Chapter 8: Exploration 20%
Gotham,
Municipal Building.
In front of the Christmas tree, which had been erected early but had not yet been decorated, a car stopped.
The figure in the white coat pushed open the car door, and after waving his hand to the people in the car in a friendly manner, the car fled in a hurry, and even almost hit some people.
"You shouldn't have come to Gotham," he whispered.
Batman kills, and Gotham is clearly a dangerous place.
Last time, I was able to save my life, but this time it may not be.
Li Zu ignored the curious gazes cast around him, he locked onto the damp and dim alleyway in the distance, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly over.
There are some representative things about Gotham.
The clouds that are always piled up overhead,
Bat lights shining on clouds at night,
And...... Moist alleys and curly rats.
Something interesting is always happening next to these iconic things.
……
Step, step~
The soles of the feet are stepping in puddles.
The leather shoes that Li Zu snatched from the special service police were a bit big and were wearing very shaky.
Before he arrived, it already had its own occupants.
A cockscomb-headed thug who wears a leather jacket with his arms exposed, and punk trim with metal barbs on his shoulders.
There are also two huddled in the garbage heap, holding a few bottles of high-end liquor in their arms.
The three of them are obviously the owners of this alley, and they are also the homeless people at the bottom of the city.
And that pile of "garbage" is all high-end ladies' leather bags, briefcases, high-end shoes, etc......
The "scope of business" of this group of people is also not difficult to guess.
Rob the canary who accidentally walked into this damp hell!
"Where did this kid come from?"
The white man with the head of the cockscomb took two steps and came to Li Zu, staring down at him with a pair of bull's eyes.
A strong smell of alcohol erupted from his nose.
"Pan, knock this kid's front teeth off with your fist! Quick, give him some trouble! Immediately there was a commotion in the distance.
Listening to the coaxing of his companions, Pan raised his hand and prepared to grab Li Zu's head.
Syllable~
Li Zu took a quick step to grab Pan's thick wrist.
The slender arm, compared to Pan's thick wrist, was like an iron nail trying to resist a rubber stick.
But an unbelievable scene finally happened.
"Ahh
Pan fell to the ground screaming.
With Li Zu's flick, an object fell on the "garbage heap".
"What is this?" The two homeless men got up and looked at what Li Zu had thrown over.
One hand.
Pink, plastic toy hands.
"Hahaha, boy, do you want to scare people to at least make a real one~" A homeless man reached out and picked up the pink hand made of plastic and shook it: "It's fake at first glance!" ”
"Yes, Pan! Don't pretend, you kid! Another homeless man walked up to Pan and kicked him: "The prank is over!" ”
The homeless man snorted suddenly.
It's the pungent smell of blood!
He lowered his head and found that Pan, who was struggling on the ground, had his left wrist broken off and was bleeding!
"That'...... That's, that's really your hand! The "homeless man" sat down on the ground with a "bang", the curly-haired mouse under his ass couldn't dodge, and was flattened by him, and the dying "squeak" cry mixed with Pan's scream, resounding throughout the alley.
Li Zu suddenly took a step forward, which made the three of them shrink back in a row, in their eyes, Li Zu, who can turn people into toys, is the most terrifying.
"I remember, he's a toy man! He's a toy man! One of the homeless men pointed at Li Zu and said loudly.
"What, it's him, isn't he in Arkham?"
Super criminals are not on the same level as ordinary gangsters.
Li Zu walked straight to the pile of "garbage" and picked up a green fork-tailed suit.
"You don't want these things, do you?"
"You can take it all, take it all! Never mind! The three of them had five hands, swinging in unison.
The three of them almost vomited blood, he came murderously, and the target turned out to be the "garbage" he didn't want?
Doesn't that mean that as long as they don't provoke just now, they won't suffer this unwarranted disaster?
Pan, who turned one hand into a toy, at this time his whole face was not only because of regret, but also because of excessive blood loss and turned blue.
"Thank you~"
Li Zu took off his blood-stained white coat and changed into a green suit, trousers, and a pair of well-fitting yellow Oxford leather shoes.
He reached out and grabbed the scattered black bangs on his forehead to the back of his head.
"Then, goodbye~" Li Zu waved his hand and left the alley satisfied, leaving only the three people who were afraid and relieved.
They were afraid of Li Zu's ability, but they were relieved that the other party did not continue to hurt themselves.
……
……
"I'm a little dizzy, and I've used up too much of my ability!"
Li Zu walked out of the alley, leaned against the wall and rubbed his head.
It was clearly displayed on the panel that only he could see.
"Toyization: Mastery (21%)"
He could feel it himself, and he was more comfortable using this ability.
"It's time to get out of Gotham...... Well? ”
Li Zugang was about to set off and find a place to hide.
But the numbers that kept bouncing on the panel caught his attention.
"The world exploration degree is 11%", which has been stuck at 10% of the world exploration level, and suddenly jumps up a number at this time.
Then, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, ......
It didn't stop until 18%.
He just stood here motionless.
What happened left him incomprehensible.
"That's better than ......," the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up.
The clear gaze began to go crazy.
He shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't move at all!" Whoever moves, I'll shoot him! ”
"Ahh
"Help!"
The people of Gotham are like frightened birds, when they hear the word "shoot", they don't think about the authenticity, but scatter and flee as soon as possible.
In the midst of this crowd, a figure in a yellow leather jacket squeezed through the crowd and rushed over quickly, punching Li Zu in the face.
Bang!
A strong punch.
Li Zu wanted to dodge, but the other party had obviously practiced martial arts skills, and he successfully shut up with a punch.
His back touched the ground, his mouth was salty, and his teeth were a little loose.
But Li Zu laughed out loud.
His crazy actions terrified the hearts of others.
But the young man who knocked Li Zu to the ground with one punch didn't seem to be surprised.
The reason why he was happy was the young man in front of him, after the other party gave him a punch, his level of world exploration quickly increased and his kung fu reached 20% in the blink of an eye!
Bang dang~
It was like something had fallen into an empty wooden box.
Reaching 20% apparently gives him something, most likely in a chest of items that he can summon.
The jumping of numbers is not over yet21%, 22%, 23%......
When the 26% stopped, Li Zu was a little regretful, and he still wanted to understand what he would get by 30%.
But there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he obviously had a new conjecture about the "degree of exploration of the world".
Li Zu stretched out his right hand and tried to turn the person in front of him into a toy.
Syllable!
The young man's elbow slammed into the inside of Li Zu's arm, interrupting his movements, and also inadvertently preventing himself from falling into hell.
