At the end of the ten kilometers, Depp drove back to the antique shop.

The materials ordered a while ago have arrived, Depp locked the door of the antique store and began to use the technology about Mark 5 in his head to create some simple little things.

After all, he has no technology now, but he does not have the conditions to make a complete Mark 5 battle armor, the materials are insufficient, the house is too small, the tools are not complete, and even many things cannot be bought at all.

However, while it is not possible to craft a complete Warframe, there are some small things that can be crafted with limited resources.

For example, the mask he is currently working on has simple head protection, anti-poison function, and can effectively resist most psychic attacks and the enemy's clair.

After all, there are many people in Gotham who have poison gas attacks and psychic hallucinogenic attacks, such as the famous clown and scarecrow, and they must be guarded against.

In the DC world, Batman was recognized by Superman with the ability to see through the identity of Bruce Wayne under the mask.

Of course, there are also many people who have found Batman's subcutaneous identity through reasoning and speculation, but none of them are as direct as Superman.

And just a mask, there is no need for a huge energy supply like the Ark Reactor, only a few special No. 7 batteries.

While Depp was concentrating on turning the screws, the locked door was knocked out with a thudding sound.

"Who?" Depp, who was disturbed, was a little angry, and he shouted outside the door: "It's not open yet, let's come back tomorrow." ”

However, the people outside the door were obviously very persistent, still knocking on the door, and begging loudly: "Boss, please, I have something good to sell!" I need this money to save my life! ”

Although Depp was reluctant, when he heard that the other party needed money to save his life, he still put away the half-finished mask and parts on the table and walked over, after all, he was not as hard-hearted as the local residents of Nahe Island.

Before opening the door, Depp took the double-barreled shotgun in his hand and looked out from the cat's eye.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the emaciated pointy-faced man behind the Gotham Police Station in the morning, his face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, he looked very poor in physical condition, and the despair in his eyes seemed to be even stronger.

The skinny monkey didn't look threatening, but Depp still clutched his shotgun and cautiously opened the door.

Depp habitually put on the profile mirror and asked, "Hello sir, are there any old items for sale?" ”

【Joseph Cole】

It's a very jojo name, Depp thought unscrupulously.

Joseph Cole stood outside the door, hesitated, and finally pulled off the cut-off on his left ring finger.

"That's it, boss." Joseph said: "He is very beautiful in the sun, you see. ”

As he spoke, he raised the diamond ring in his hand to the sun.

In the sunlight, the diamond ring emitted a soft and beautiful glow, and under the light, the despair in Joseph's eyes also diminished a little, as if recalling some happy past.

"Please come in, I need to take a closer look."

After taking Joseph into the antique shop and pouring him a cup of hot water, Depp took the diamond ring and looked at it carefully.

I have to say that the clarity of the diamonds in this ring is actually very average, but the cut is so perfect that it can turn an inferior rough stone into such a dazzling one.

But to be honest, this kind of craftsmanship is not very valuable, after all, second-hand recycling is the only thing that values the weight and quality of raw materials.

So, he needs to know the real reason why the man in front of him needs this money.

Depp looked up into Joseph's eyes and asked, "You just said that you needed this money to save your life, did you yourself get seriously ill?" ”

"It's not me, boss." Joseph shook his head: "It's my wife, she's going to give birth, but now she's in very poor health, and I need a sum of money to treat her and raise her baby." But my income is too small... It's really too little..."

Looking at Joseph, who looked haggard, Depp had some sympathy.

The poor man had come to the antique shop to sell his wedding ring in order to heal and recuperate his wife.

No wonder when he looked at the ring in the sun just now, his desperate eyes were full of happiness.

And this man named Joseph did not do anything illegal because he needed money and was desperate.

Although this is very common in Gotham.

This is a good man, a good man who loves his wife deeply.

Depp decided to help the poor man through this difficult time, he said: "The cutting of the ring is very good, but unfortunately the clarity of the diamond itself is not very high, so I ......"

Joseph lowered his head when he heard this, and the despair in his eyes was even greater, and he muttered, "Is that so... So sir, how much can it sell for? ”

Joseph sighed silently in his heart, if the money from the sale was too small, he could only cure his wife's illness first, and put aside the problem of giving birth to a safe baby first.

I'm sorry, kid... Joseph apologized in his heart to the unborn child.

"So... I mean, how much money do you need? Depp looked at Joseph helplessly and said the whole sentence.

"What?" Joseph said incredulously.

Depp repeated: "I mean, how much money does your wife need for treatment, how much money is hospitalized to raise the baby, and I will collect this ring for how much." ”

Joseph covered his face in surprise and began to cry.

"You really are the kindest person I've ever met!" Joseph whimpered and said, "Only twenty thousand... No, $10,000 is enough, absolutely enough. ”

Someone bought a fake porcelain vase for a million dollars, just to be angry with people, without blinking an eye.

Someone can save the lives of his wife and children with just $10,000, but no matter how hard he works, he can't get it together.

Depp suddenly felt that all this was normal and ridiculous, even a little ridiculous.

He turned around and took out five stacks of dollars from the safe and stuffed them into Joseph's hand with the pawn agreement in duplicate.

"It's fifty thousand dollars, Mr. Joseph."

"The other is a pawn agreement, and since I think this ring means a lot to you, you can redeem your ring at any time in the future with fifty thousand dollars."

"The agreement takes effect when you sign it, and the pen is on your right hand."

Looking at the money in his hand and the pawn agreement, Joseph felt that everything he encountered today was so unreal, and he said to Depp:

"You... Is it an angel sent by God? ”

Hearing this shameful compliment, Depp directly took back a pawn agreement that had been signed, and then stuffed a business card to the other party and issued an eviction order.

"Come on, don't be so sensual, you should go back to accompany your wife early, she must miss you very much!"

Sending the man who had regained hope out of the antique store, Depp locked the door and started making his high-tech mask again.

Outside the door, Joseph held the black plastic bag containing $50,000 in his arms, scanned the surroundings suspiciously, and then walked briskly towards his house.

On the way, he looked back at the Depp antique store from time to time, and always felt that the whole store was shining with divine light.
