131. Promotion and salary increase
The incident of Professor Lizard spread throughout New York overnight, and despite the efforts of various departments to block the news, they still failed to stop the fermentation of the situation.
Coupled with the Green Goblin incident that has not yet subsided, the entire New Yorkers are panicked, and even some cautious citizens choose to quit their jobs and evacuate the city as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Professor Lizard was eventually subdued by the NYPD and seized in time, and the NYPD immediately announced the progress of the case after investigating the whole thing, showing that the lizard was neither a monster nor an alien, but a mutant caused by illegal human experiments—which barely suppressed the panic.
Most of the human fears come from the unknown, and after knowing the past and present life of Professor Lizard, the citizens will not be unwarranted in fear.
What's more, the heroic Goofy stepped up in times of danger and cleaned up the monster with three punches and two kicks (actually Carrie three punches and two kicks), and Goofy represents the NYPD, and his actions have earned the NYPD a lot of favor.
Citizens are still willing to trust the NYPD to protect them, and as long as they believe that, New York will not descend into chaos.
And there is no doubt that Goofy is once again the hero who saved New York.
The police officer who served in the 109th Precinct had attracted the attention of the NYPD leaders not long after he joined the company, and after saving Tony Stark, the police department's top brass was even more impressive.
Plus stop the Green Goblin, capture the lizard professor......
A series of events have made Goofy a legend in the police world, and it has also become a living signboard for NYPD to establish credibility in front of the public.
So there's no doubt that the NYPD has to reward flying high.
The timing of the reward is locked in the twice-yearly NYPD promotion ceremony, where every police officer who has performed well in the past six months is promoted and recognized.
Sergeant Schneider originally wanted to take this opportunity to jump over the dragon gate with Gao Feiyu, but Gao Fei was bent on working at the grassroots level.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The NYPD promotion ceremony was held at the New York Police Department Plaza at its headquarters on Clow Avenue in Manhattan.
Gao Fei brought his "family" Carrie and colleagues from the 109 branch to attend the ceremony.
Colleagues are very curious about Goofy's daughter Carrie who appeared out of thin air, especially his old partner Hank, who has always firmly believed that Carrie is actually Frank's illegitimate daughter, because Frank's current life is difficult to obtain custody, so Carrie was "tampered with" as Goofy's illegitimate daughter......
But out of respect and trust for Goofy, colleagues turned a blind eye to Carrie's affairs, even if they knew that the little girl's file was fake, no one meddled in things, and even everyone never asked Carrie more, completely treating her as Goofy's daughter.
It is precisely because of everyone's respect that little Lori who trembled when she saw the police before, and turned her head and ran away, completely changed her opinion of the police. She had a good time with the uncles and aunts at Precinct 109, and now she even dared to attend the NYPD promotion ceremony, which was attended by thousands of police officers.
The police officers of the 109th Precinct also liked Carrie and gathered her in the middle of the line, and Sergeant Schneider also proposed to "hire" Carrie to be the mascot of the 109th Precinct and hang her photo in a conspicuous position in the hall of the precinct.
Everyone gathered together to take their seats, and the promotion ceremony officially began.
The first of the 109 Precincts to be promoted was Sergeant Schneider, who will be promoted to Deputy Senior Superintendent.
The implementation of Sheriff Ned's service in the 109 Precinct is not long, and it is only a year and a half, and he can get promoted within a year and a half, which is already a leader in the NYPD.
But what is even more exaggerated is Gao Fei, he was promoted to police assistant in less than half a year, although his rank after promotion is not high, but this promotion speed is really staggering.
You must know that this step of promotion is often the most time-consuming, when Hank worked for a full eleven years to come to the position of police officer, not to mention the other people in the 109 substation, Sam, Anna and these young people still don't care, poor Roger has served in the 109 precinct for twenty years, and is still just an ordinary police detective.
However, the colleagues of the 109 sub-bureau were convinced of Gao Fei's promotion, after all, Gao Fei's performance was there.
Destroy the gang, save Stark, capture the lizardmen......
If any police officer can make one of the contributions, it is a matter of course to be promoted exceptionally, not to mention that Goofy has completed three by himself.
Gao Fei took the stage to accept the commendation in the second half of the ceremony, after all, the commendation is still sorted according to the police rank. But after Goofy came on the stage, he was frantically pursued by the police officers and the media at the scene, and the flashing lights under the stage were almost non-stop.
Correspondingly, there was a cult from the entire NYPD, and the worship value of the backstage was raised to an unprecedented level, and the director of the NYPD at the scene temporarily took the initiative to invite Gao Fei to make a short speech.
So Goofy took the microphone handed over by the director of the General Bureau unexpectedly, which made his whole body nervous, even when facing the Green Goblin Norman Osborne or Professor Lizard, Goofy had never been so cramped as he was now.
Looking up at the thousands of NYPD police officers and media friends off the field, Gao Fei broke out in a cold sweat.
My buddy has never made a speech under the national flag of Dalian since he was a child, and now he suddenly speaks in front of so many people, isn't this a trouble?
And the system has added skills to me so many times, it seems that I have never added speech skills!
So Goofy was stunned, and his hand holding the microphone was trembling.
O'Neill, the director of the General Administration, smiled gently: "Officer Goofy, don't be nervous, just say what is in your heart." ”
Gao Fei has a black line: Stop talking calves, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it in my heart.
But holding the microphone and standing in front of the stage, he couldn't say a word, so Goofy took a deep breath and began his performance.
"It's an honor to be recognized by all of you, and it's an honor to stand here and speak, but I feel very ashamed of the honor I have received today......
Goofy said slowly.
"Actually, I'm just an ordinary police officer, and all I've done is a humble contribution......"
"In just a few months since I joined the company, I've actually been doing multiple-choice questions. In all the cases I've encountered, I'm doing a simple, repeating multiple-choice question. There are only two options in this multiple-choice question – A) save your own life; B. Saving the lives of others. It's not a single choice, most of the time I can choose both options at the same time, but in most cases, I forget to pick the first option, that's it......"
Before the words fell, there was already continuous applause from the audience, and Gao Fei seemed to be an understatement, but he told the fact that he was sacrificing himself.
And in fact, this is indeed Goofy's heart, and even he himself didn't have an epiphany until this moment, he was able to become an excellent policeman in the Marvel world not because of the physical attributes and skills that the superhero system gave him, but because of his heart that was eager to die and go home.
Acting bravely for the sake of death gradually made him a warrior who was not afraid of sacrifice.
Only by leaving behind one's own life and death can one achieve great things.
At the beginning, his physical fitness was no different from that of a normal person, but he still became a "Chinese hero" in the community, which is enough to show that becoming a hero has nothing to do with personal ability.
Even if he is a powerless little person, he has also become a big hero who saves the world.
And looking at the colleagues from all walks of life who sincerely applauded and admired him in the audience, Gao Fei suddenly felt a touch in his heart - he must not live up to this worship and this trust.
What's more, he finds himself already in love with who he is, with what it's like to protect the peace of the city with his own abilities.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that it turned out that acting bravely in the face of righteousness was also addictive.
