"Young Master, the location signal you left on Mason Cooper is gone."

Batman, who was beating the Men in Black killer, got the news of Ah Fu, and it didn't affect his fist swinging, and the old butler said in a regretful tone:

"There's a good chance he's been captured by the Assassins of Lei Xiaogu, or worse... Master Jason's tragedy is about to repeat itself. You may be right, these gifted children really have to stay away from you to be safe. ”

"No!"

The old man knocked over a killer who was trying to sneak up with an expressionless punch, and he said in a deep voice:

"Jason's affair once is enough! Keep tracking, Afu.

When I first came into contact with Mason at the police station, I left him with not only a location signal, but also a special pheromone that could exist for seven days.

Dispatch a swarm of drones to find him throughout Gotham.

Be sure to find him. ”

“......”

Alfred, the old butler, was silent for a moment, and then he said:

"It's really bad that you're leaving countermeasures at the first meeting with other people, isn't the matter of Lady Diana enough for you to learn a lesson?

That misunderstanding cost you at least $500 million. ”

"Just enough to give the Batfighter a new power system."

Batman looked at the last place where Mason had disappeared, and then at the burning wreckage of the warplane a few blocks away, and he whispered:

"Ah Fu, your driving skills really need to be improved, you made me lose a lot of money tonight..."

"It's okay young master, Wayne Industries' stock has been rising well recently. The special tracking drone has been released, and in addition, young master, the assassins have begun to retreat.

If you're going to put trackers on them too, hurry up. ”

---

When Mason woke up again, he found himself lying on an unfamiliar bed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw an unrecognizable ceiling, and then the familiar translucent light curtain unfolded before his eyes, showing his state at this time:

Name: Mason Cooper

Status: Injury (healing), Broken leg bone (healing), Sedative effect (17 minutes countdown)

Identity: Gotham High School dropout, penguin betrayer

Skills: Shooting Lv. 1, Alchemy Lv. 0, Engineering Lv. 0, Forging Lv. 0, Tailor Lv. 0

"Your physique is really bad, except for a little talent in shooting, you are almost completely an ordinary person, I am starting to regret bringing you back."

A voice rang out from the side of the bed, causing Mason to turn his head with difficulty, it was a middle-aged and elderly man in an old suit lined with a strange trench coat.

His face was almost featureless, but the star map mask he had at his hand made Mason recognize him.

"Then you should probably leave me there."

Mason's weak voice said:

"Before I fell unconscious, I heard you say 'glory,' what 'the stars will,' who are you? A member of some mysterious organization in Gotham City?

Like an owl court? ”

"Well, you know about the Owl Court? Looks like I'm going to have to re-evaluate your knowledge. ”

The fellow sat on the chair beside the bed, took a notepad and wrote and drew on it, and said without raising his head in a posture that everything was under control:

"But my organization is much more powerful than the Owl Court, and the two are not the same level at all. I'll tell you the extra stuff when you've completed your onboarding test, but I'll just say a few things you need to know.

For example..."

The man tapped on the clipboard in his hand, looked up at Mason, and said:

"I know you're wondering where you're going, and you can think of this as a 'selection'.

The group I was in charge of had suffered heavy damage during the last exploration and had to recruit a few new recruits to fill the force. As you can see, I have healed you in my own way and pulled you back to earth from a desperate situation of weakness and dying.

So, you owe me a favor.

That way, it's not too abrupt for me to ask you to join my group. I've been watching you, from the moment you saved Catwoman. ”

Speaking of this, the guy smiled as if remembering something funny, and said:

"Actually, my group is already full, and the city of Gotham has no shortage of good players of all abilities, and we originally planned to start moving right away.

But at this juncture, you made me pay attention to you with a series of brilliant performances, so I decided to give you a chance at the moment. ”

"Then I really want to thank you."

Mason replied with a blank face.

He'd already sense something wasn't quite right.

Although the guy in front of him was polite, the unquestionable taste in his words made people very uncomfortable.

It seems that even pulling Mason into a dangerous-sounding exploration is as condescending as Kaien, and from that point of view, this guy must be an arrogant and hypocritical person.

"Can I refuse this operation?"

Mason asked directly:

"I'm thankful that you saved me, maybe I can repay you in other ways, although I don't have much money now, I have a rich friend."

The guy smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at Mason with a sarcastic gaze, like looking at a gibberish man. The young man pursed his lips and asked:

"What is the content of the action? Where to explore? How long will it take? ”

"You'll know when the time comes."

The guy took the initiative to end the conversation, got up and straightened his collar, and said to Mason with a hypocritical smile:

"It's a day and a half before the operation starts, and the basement of this house has enough guns and accessories for you, so try to be as well prepared as you can, and you'll be responsible for fire support and snipers.

You can call me Old K, a pseudonym, of course.

You can also try to escape, I will never stop you.

But your world's secret organization is really great, and I just happened to get some interesting stuff from a lady named Amanda Waller. ”

He held out his fingers, maliciously tapped the back of his neck to his spine, and turned away. Mason's face changed slightly, and he endured weakness and reached out to put it on the back of his neck.

There's a wound there's just healed.

The moment his fingers touched, a line of prompts jumped into Mason's eyes:

"Engineering explosives detected, analyzing... The item is a 'Suicide Squad-Implanted Microbomb' that has both active and passive triggers, and when detonated, creates a lethal explosion in the spine.

The object is so delicate that any unwanted touch will cause it to detonate instantly.

It is recommended to attempt demolition if the engineering level is level 2, the first aid is level level 3, or the rapid cure type drug is available.

Drawing parsing. ”

"Fack!"

Mason clenched his fists, that bastard!

Sure enough, there are so many lines, it's not a good person at first glance, right?

But the young man did not despair, he did not have time to despair, and he was not a person who would admit defeat in reality, otherwise he would not have to risk saving Catwoman after being reborn.

Now that the character card has given the solution, the next thing to do is very simple, seize all the time to improve your engineering skills to Lv2 as soon as possible.

First aid hadn't branched out yet, but Mason knew what to do.

He struggled to sit up with numbness, pulled open the bedside table and found a fruit knife and a home first aid kit.

After taking a few deep breaths, the young man grabbed the knife and gave his finger a blow, and the moment the blood flowed out, he picked up an alcohol swab and gauze and began to clumsily stop the bleeding and bandage the wound.

A minute later, Mason got his wish and saw a hint that the First Aid branch was opened.

But that cold Lv0 made his head tremble.

Damn old K said that there is still a day and a half to start exploring, and a day and a half of punching engineering is still a bit possible, but first aid... You can't just keep stabbing yourself like this and bandaging it.

Let's not talk about whether to play or not, this efficiency is too low.

Thinking so, Mason took the bandage off his finger and tied it again, this time with a little experience, and the effect of tying it was obviously better than the last time.

"Successfully completed a standard and rapid bandage, and improved the proficiency of first aid skills."

Mason looked at the prompt in front of him, he sighed again, and took the bandage open to start the third bandage, but then he saw something else in the first aid kit, and thought of the process of the wild bandaging tutorial he had learned, so he tried it again.

"Successfully completed an excellent process and rapid bandaging, and the first aid skill proficiency was improved by X5."

"Huh?"

The young man's eyes lit up.

Is there a skill to be experienced with this thing?

You can't just rely on the number of times.

He rubbed his chin again and recalled his experience practicing shooting and assembling firearms, and soon came to a conclusion.

"This system is not just about the number of times and time, it requires me to be as good as possible every time I make it, so that I can quickly improve my skills in a short period of time.

If you think about it, it was the same with the previous shooting.

There are tips for aiming accurately, but not for casual shooting.

I think I probably get it. ”

Ten minutes later, Mason looked at his fingers that had been bandaged repeatedly, and he decided to stop and go to the basement to see if he could get enough weapon accessories.

Then he found that he seemed to underestimate Old K.

In the basement in front of him were three large collection cases full of guns and remodeled accessories.

From pistols to rifles to heavy machine guns, from classic bolt-action rifles to futuristic modular rifles.

In the corner of the basement there is also a chest neatly stacked with various explosives, micro-drones, and unopened boxes of anti-tank rocket ammunition.

Although nothing here is out of the realm of "individual weapons", this amount cannot be called a collection but rather an "arsenal".

This terrifying amount stunned Mason for a moment.

That's enough explosives to blow up the entire East Side of Gotham overnight, and sure enough, anything can happen in this magical city.

"A large number of engineering components have been detected, and the base weapon drawings have been updated."

As Mason looked around the basement, his character card flashed with new weapon drawings one after another, like a database update.

As before, these drawings are the product of component enhancements based on the weapons in front of you, and although they have different shapes, they all have a unified name, the "Engineer Engineering Gun Series".

Obviously, the cold character card obviously has its own set of inductive logic for the artifact.

And Mason quickly smiled expectantly when he saw the staggering number of weapons in front of him.

"What a collectible, I took them all apart and put them back together, and then disassembled and reassembled, and I had enough materials to rush my engineering skills to Lv2 before I sent them to death.

I'll be busy for the next day and a half. ”

Mason strode forward, rudely picked up the stool at hand, and slammed it into Old K's weapons cabinet.

Amid the sound of glass breaking, he took down an assault rifle with a simple and tough shape and full of minimalist industrial beauty, and turned around and walked to the workbench.

A few minutes later, Mason, holding the disassembly tool, looked at the various gun accessories piled up on the table, and he removed the barrel and trigger.

"Successfully completed a dismantling of standard craft and engineering items, and improved the proficiency of engineering skills."

The young man reached out and touched the dismantled components in front of him, and information labels popped up on each part.

The vast majority of them were "standard items", but the disassembled barrel had "excellent items" reviews that caught Mason's eyes.

He took out this excellent quality barrel and put it aside, selected a normal barrel from the accessory box, and put the parts in front of him back together.

"Successfully completed a standard process and engineering item assembly, and improved the proficiency of engineering skills."

"That's it!"

Mason let out a sigh of relief, and began to disassemble and reassemble it a second time, and after repeating it several times, he became more and more proficient at the job, and the speed of disassembly became faster and faster.

Finally, about the tenth time the assembly was completed, a hint that Mason had been waiting for finally appeared:

"Successfully completed an excellent process, fast and accurate assembly, and improved the proficiency of engineering skills X5."

"Come on!"

The young man grinned and continued to repeat the process until the muscles in his arms ached.

He sat down in a chair next to him, gasped, closed his eyes and began to disassemble the gun, slowly at first, but the muscle memory from multiple dismantling allowed him to complete the process intact.

However, it is easy to dismantle, but it is difficult to assemble.

Mason could only fumble around with the job, and this time it took him several minutes to put the last component on, but he didn't open his eyes the whole time.

His attempt was worth it.

"Successfully completed an outstanding process and rapid assembly, and the engineering skill proficiency was improved by X10."

"This is it! I knew it! ”

Mason opened his eyes excitedly, hugged the rifle he had assembled with his eyes closed in front of him and kissed him fiercely, it took him almost an hour to finally figure out the trick of branching skills.

"The next step is to replicate the process."

The young man closed his eyes again in satisfaction, and reassembled the gun, but this time he was disappointed by the hint:

"The drawings have been fully mastered, and the proficiency of engineering skills cannot be improved."

"Well, it seems that card bug brushing experience won't work."

Mason sighed, put the gun in his hand back in the collection case behind him, picked up another pistol and returned to the workbench, and disassembled it with a quick movement.

First, I inspected the parts, and found no good quality parts, so I started disassembling and assembling them.

The process is boring, but young people know they have to hurry.

On the one hand, Lao K generously provided so many components, and he was sorry not to take this opportunity to rush his engineering experience.

On the other hand, it is necessary to be well prepared for the exploration that sounds dangerous.

That hypocritical and arrogant old K didn't hide the danger himself.

He generously told Mason that his previous squad was wiped out, and said that he had found a "newcomer", but in fact, what he wanted to manipulate with this miniature bomb was not disposable cannon fodder?

When the other party is holding the bomb switch, and he can't dismantle the miniature bomb, it's better to be pragmatic in this case.

As for waiting for Batman to come to the rescue, it didn't appear in Mason's thinking options in the first place.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the master's ethics and action, the main thing is that the mysterious old K can take himself away from those black-clothed killers when Batman enters the battlefield, which shows that this guy may not be Batman's opponent, but it is estimated that it will be easy to kill himself before the master intervenes.

"This time I really have to fight for my life on my own."

Mason rubbed his forehead lightly as he disassembled the pistol, and the back of his neck was slightly numb, then he narrowed his eyes, and a fierce light burst into his eyes.

"Less than three days after being reborn, exciting things are one after another, and they all say that a dazed life must have a goal to live a better life..."

The young man moved his neck and disassembled the weapon in his hand in a vicious manner.

He whispered:

"Old K, huh? The stars will, huh? Kidnap me and use you as cannon fodder, huh? Pretending to be a big guy, huh? As the philosopher said, a small goal will make you feel at peace!

The rest of the thing, enjoy a new life or something...

I'll wait until I'm killing you! ”
