Nobody can stop me from drawing cards in Gotham!

Chapter 39 LEGO Builder

After Jaeger asked a few more detailed questions about the poison mist, the mist finally reverted to its full form.

The black and white mist quickly dissipated and merged into Jaeger's body, leaving only a small wisp of poisonous mist protruding from his shoulder as a means of communication.

Jaeger squinted and looked at his body from side to side, but found nothing unusual—he had no idea where the mist came from or how it managed to disappear so completely.

Symbiotes, how amazing!

He then summoned the virtual card table, located the identity card information for [Landon Parrels], quickly scrolled down, and sure enough, found that one line of information had changed:

[Identity: Chairman of the Parelers Group, host of the toxic fog]

The "?" mentioned earlier was indeed referring to the poisonous fog...

It's a mystery how Poison Mist, being an alien creature, managed to get involved with Langdon Parrels.

As Jaeger thought about this, he suddenly realized something.

He opened the exclusive deck "Strange Tycoon," which he had previously complained about but hadn't had time to check, and there he actually found the answer.

The deck for "The Strange Tycoon" only contains two cards, which is incomparable to "Occult Detective," but both cards are heavyweight.

One of them contains the following information:

[Equipment - Symbiote · Poison Mist]

[Level: None (This equipment card cannot be upgraded by any means)]

[Description: Creatures from another universe, a liquid organic alien race created by a dark god.]

[Note: A wise commenter once remarked: Damn, how come so many American comic book fanfiction protagonists have some kind of symbiote element? — But the truth is, you can't deny that symbiotes are really useful.]

This explains where the poisonous fog came from; it turns out this thing was actually Langdon's equipment card.

But this note... Jaeger doesn't understand it, but it sounds impressive.

He then looked at the remaining card in the deck:

[Active - LEGO Builder]

[Level: None]

[Description: In the LEGO world, those who can quickly disassemble everything around them into parts and reassemble any object using their boundless imagination are called "Master Builders"! And now, that honor belongs to you!]

[Note: This is just talk online; in reality, who wouldn't want to rush to buy a Lego set and spend an entire afternoon building it? Lego, build anything you can imagine!]

LEGO Master Builder?

Jaeger certainly knew about Lego—the world's best-selling toy and building block.

He also remembered the rows of Lego display cases in Langdon's office and suddenly understood why the other party had stuffed a bunch of Lego there.

The answer is here... Langdon Parrels is a LEGO master builder!

At the same time, Jaeger was also sweating a little: "Sorry, Langdon, I mistook you for a Lego enthusiast earlier, I'm really sorry..."

However, since he was the same person, Jaeger generously forgave himself after less than a minute of repentance.

The first reaction to acquiring a new ability is naturally to try it out, especially such a novel ability.

So the moment the card was used, what came into Jaeger's view changed.

Numbers and phrases popped up from all the items:

2x2 ordinary cube...

30-tooth cylindrical gear...

Special connectors...

These names are the names of building blocks that can be disassembled from surrounding objects or even the environment.

When Jaeger tried to place his hand on the floor, the floor that was solid a second ago was dug into a hole by Jaeger the next second, and what was dug out became the building block in Jaeger's hand.

It's still a 1x2 gray square.

"I see..." Jaeger looked at the building blocks in his hand thoughtfully. "It can transform any object between real-world objects and building blocks?"

That makes sense—no, it's more like Lego…

Having confirmed this, Jaeger silently put the block that had inexplicably become separated from the floor's family back into the hole, and casually transformed it back, making it seem as if nothing had happened.

After finishing that, Jaeger got up and went to the table.

Compared to digging into the floor, it's definitely more reassuring to dig into the furniture in the room.

So the table that was intact one second was dismantled by Jaeger the next, leaving only three legs to barely maintain its balance.

Some items placed on top, such as cups and tissue boxes, cannot be avoided either.

Jaeger stared at the disassembled building block parts in his hand, thought for a moment, and then quickly assembled the blocks into a dagger about the length of a palm at an unimaginable speed.

With another flick of the wrist, the dagger transformed from a mere building block into a genuine, sharpened dagger.

Jaeger brandished the dagger in the air, making a "whoosh" sound.

Yes, it's a good knife.

After testing both the disassembly and reassembly capabilities, Jaeger used the same hand speed as before to disassemble the dagger and put the building blocks he had borrowed back together.

The poisonous mist, its head poked out the whole time, stared expectantly: "You haven't forgotten this ability, Langdon?"

Before Jaeger could explain, the poisonous mist convinced itself: "Indeed, people may forget the past, but they won't forget the abilities they possess..."

Jaeger:

You've already set up the steps for me, so I can only follow them...

Jaeger nodded, indicating his agreement with the poisonous fog's view.

Seeing that Jaeger didn't seem to be making any further moves, Poison Mist leaned closer, almost shoving its mouthful of sharp teeth into Jaeger's face: "Landon, don't you have anything to do right now?"

"What are you going to do?" Jaeger asked sharply.

The poisonous mist tilted its head and honestly replied, "I'm not full."

"In a few more minutes, I'll probably start stuttering again."

Jaeger: "..."

That makes sense, who can get full from just one chocolate bar...?

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well go outside and see if I can trigger an event card.

But before that—

Jaeger beckoned to Poison Mist to listen to him: "But before that, I have something I want to ask you, Poison Mist."

"Do you know... what kind of person I really am?"

The poisonous fog paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh! I know, you're trying to hide your intermittent amnesia from people who know you again!"

"It's alright, I've got your back!"

Seeing the poisonous fog, Jaeger had a strange, bad feeling.

Is it really a good idea to have this guy as my role-playing coach...?
