Chapter 90 Penguin: Feed me peanuts!
Chapter 90 Penguin: Feed me peanuts!
Disruptive things?
To be frank, based on his current understanding of Batman, it's hard to imagine what could have a disruptive effect on this guy.
Unless Gotham City suddenly becomes a place of pristine beauty and harmony, where everyone treats each other with kindness, thus preventing conspiracies from arising, theft and robbery from occurring, and leaving doors unlocked—this is what is meant by Great Harmony…
Putting aside the question of whether it's possible or not, let's just talk about whether it's revolutionary or not.
In summary, these are the cards currently available that are relevant to the side quests.
"However, if it's just Gotham, it's still a bit of a limitation."
Jaeger held the Gotham Rhapsody copy between his fingers, flipping it aimlessly to keep his mind active.
"The world is so big, it seems unlikely that simply changing Gotham would achieve a game ending."
"This should just be a side story leading to a certain ending."
Thinking of this, Jaeger recalled the cards he had just played: "And to advance this storyline, we need to change the plot as much as possible, develop the characters, and even change a city..."
Well, if we want to advance the plot by focusing on character development, there might not be much progress in the short term, and there are even characters like Batman whose direction of change is not yet clear.
But don't rush, you can progress through other storylines first.
So Jaeger picked up the side quest card, "The Court of Owls."
It's been almost a week since I last responded to the prayers of the Owl Court, so I guess I'll be able to try again soon.
Although he already had some ideas about the Court of Owls, he never expected that it would trigger a side story later on.
So now, Jaeger's thinking has changed, and he intends to use the Owl Court in reverse to achieve his own goals.
"Their actions in Gotham were all designed to create fear," Jaeger pondered. "This could actually be exploited."
"Think about it, the outward form and name of fear sacrifice cannot be easily changed, so how can we start from other aspects..."
At that moment, Jaeger's gaze suddenly drifted to the television in the room.
Actually, the TV had been on ever since he returned to his apartment.
However, he was too busy studying the cards in "Gotham Rhapsody" to pay attention to the television content.
So Burks smoothly climbed out of Jaeger's place and took over watching TV.
I was even watching Gotham's midnight news channel.
Although Jaeger didn't know why Burke, a snake, was watching the city news.
But at least this emergency news broadcast caught Jaeger's attention, who was originally thinking about how to deal with the Owl Court.
"Breaking news from the Gotham Daily! Just now, all night shift officers from the Gotham Police Department were mobilized due to an explosion at an upscale club in the Diamond District..."
The background in the picture is none other than the Iceberg Club, which Jaeger is familiar with.
However, there was one thing Jaeger really wanted to complain about: judging from the footage, the GCPD officers had just gotten out of their police car, but reporters and photographers were already waiting at the Iceberg Club...
Is this what journalists in a superhero world are like? They're all quick to respond to any news, and their efficiency far surpasses that of the police.
This is even the Gotham Police Department under Gordon's leadership.
If this were a police station in another West Coast city, the first batch of reporters would probably have already spread the news all over the internet, and the second batch of reporters would be waiting outside, lamenting, "Damn, I missed out on the headlines again!"
Only then will the police arrive at the scene, arriving belatedly in their patrol cars that have been sirens blaring...
By the way, isn't Superman from Metropolis next door, or rather Clark Kent—just a reporter?
It turns out the other party had foreseen this, knowing that a press conference would arrive much faster than the police...
However, on the other hand, Jaeger could understand why the Gotham Police Department was so slow to respond to the Iceberg Club incident.
After all, if the explosion had happened in another city, it might have made headlines and attracted the attention of the police.
But this is Gotham.
Explosions happen several times a week, one day on the East Side, the next day on the West Side... Gotham residents are used to it by now.
It's estimated that it was only after Batman passed a message to Commissioner Gordon that the Gotham Police Department noticed the location of the explosion, which was the Iceberg Club, a place they had been trying to investigate but hadn't been able to find a pretext to intervene in.
Furthermore, given this unexpected turn of events, the Iceberg Club's clients, each with their own impressive backgrounds, are likely to be frustrated that their transactions at the Iceberg Club were not secure, and they may use this as an excuse to put pressure on the Iceberg Club.
And the penguin, who should have stepped in to stabilize the situation at this crucial moment, just started gurgling and cooing again...
Well, Jaeger has to admit that when he was working on Penguin, he didn't expect such a chain reaction to follow.
It seems like Backkom might be off the air, but Backkom isn't...
