Chapter 28 28 Take Whatever Cat Lady Likes, Don’t Be Polite, Your Husband Has Plenty of Money Anyway

Chapter 28 28. Catwoman, take whatever you like, you’re welcome, your husband has plenty of money anyway.

Nightwing diverted his pursuers, and with the help of the Batmobile and the entire Bat Family, he would most likely be fine.

Mason and Catwoman also used the magical effect of the invisibility cloak to leave the war zone, and "borrowed" a car through Gotham City to Pier 7 in Miller Harbor.

This is the oldest dock area in Gotham City and one of the oldest and most complex areas in this city that started out as shipping and heavy industry.

The entire dock has been renovated many times over more than a hundred years, and even the dockworkers cannot fully grasp the complexities here, especially the underground areas.

Just like a maze.

Mason didn't know much about this place, but his little brother Kite Man had been active near Miller's Harbor for a while when he followed the Joker and was chased by Batman. He told Mason that there was an underground passage at Pier 7, so it became a temporary stop for Mason and Catwoman.

"You know a lot at such a young age. I didn't even know there was such a place to hide people here."

In a specially opened hiding place in the sewers that were not dirty, Catwoman looked at the light above her head in wonder as she looked back at Mason who was disassembling the gun for maintenance and said:

"I feel more and more that you don't look like a 17-year-old boy. You also have a hidden identity, right? Little guy, since we are already a team, I think you should be more honest with your sister."

"My hidden identity is Mason Cooper."

The young man said without raising his head:

“It’s not as complicated as you think, you’d better take a break.

Aren't you tired after a long night of work? My friend will join us here tomorrow afternoon, and before then we need to be ready for a surprise attack.

Can you use a sword? "

"Sister, I grew up in Gotham, and I have been entangled with Batman for more than ten years, falling in love and killing each other. What do you think I can't do with you?"

Catwoman leaned against the wall with her hands on her hips and said something.

The next moment, the strange sharp blade adorned with the hilt of the golden eagle sword was thrown over by Mason in its sheath. Catwoman caught it in her hand, pulled out the blade gracefully and flicked it with a sword.

She put this beautiful and majestic sword in front of her eyes, looked at it with the eyes of a world-class thief, and stretched out her fingers to touch the sharp edge to check some decorative features of the hilt.

A few minutes later, she gave a very accurate evaluation like a treasure appraiser, saying:

"It's an antique that's at least eight hundred years old. The inscription on the sword should come from a certain monastery in France, and the weird light refraction must be the result of some kind of supernatural power.

But even if those unscientific powers are removed, the material and craftsmanship of the sword hilt alone are enough for it to sell for an astonishingly high price in any auction house in the world. "

Catwoman squeezed her eyes and covered her mouth, chuckled, made another charming gesture, and said to Mason:

"Hmm, so this is the first gift you gave to your sister? From my experience, a man who is so generous most likely has evil intentions."

"I'm just lending it to you."

Mason pressed the shot clip filled with buckshot into the blast shotgun with a click. He glanced at Catwoman who was playing with the sword and said:

"I'm not good at close combat and I don't like close combat. It can play a greater role in your hands. We are grasshoppers on a rope now. A little more trust will give us more chances to survive.

Now if you can, I hope you won't disturb me, Ms. Selina, while I start preparing some potions and weapons for us to use in the battle.

This job requires me to stay highly focused.

So, whatever you want to do, just don't make a sound, okay? "

He took out a set of simplified alchemy containers from his luggage. He actually found orthodox magic crucibles and alchemy test tubes at Hogwarts, but those were the real big ones.

The complete special-shaped test tubes alone are as big as a standing cabinet when assembled. Mason put them in his suitcase, which is still with the Kite Man.

After placing all the medicinal materials in categories, Mason took out a lot of C4 and disassembled drone components and placed them next to him.

After seeing this young man take out dangerous objects one after another from the small bag on his waist like magic, Catwoman who was watching couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

She was becoming more and more interested in this young man who was twenty years younger than her.

When she saw Mason lighting the alcohol lamp seriously and putting some chopped herbs into a bowl and squeezing them, Catwoman got up and walked out of the hiding place.

"Where are you going?"

Mason asked.

The eldest sister put on her peculiar ruby ​​goggles and said:

"Of course I'm going to retrieve the thing that's killing us both. Do you think I would carry that thing with me? And since I've made up my mind to fight back, I have to get a weapon suitable for me, right?"

"There are people out there who are hunting you and me."

The young man said something, then threw the folded silver-gray invisibility cloak to Catwoman and said:

"Put it on. It doesn't require too much movement, but it's best not to fight wearing it. This thing's 'temper' is not very good, and its character is very vicious. It hopes to see the person who uses it suffer bad luck."

"Just give it to me?"

Catwoman looked at the magic invisibility cloak in her hand in surprise, which was a priceless treasure for all thieves and thieves. She said in a strange tone:

"I feel more and more that your motives are impure, little Mason. Listen to my advice and don't waste time on your sister. I'm past the age where I like young girls."

"You don't really think I'm a virgin who's never seen a beautiful woman, do you?"

Mason replied, imitating Catwoman's sentences.

He glanced at his eldest sister and whispered:

"And what a coincidence, I've passed that age where I would be obsessed with Sister Yu's style and restless. Now I appreciate the beauty of the soul more. Unfortunately, your soul has been marked with a bat.

Good things belong to their owners, but taking them without telling them is considered stealing. "

"You're talking so viciously!"

Catwoman snorted, stopped bickering with Mason, put on her invisibility cloak and disappeared.

A few seconds later, she suddenly revealed her head behind Mason, as if to scare the young man, and said:

"Aren't you afraid that I will take away your sword and cloak and not be able to get them back? You know that I am a heartless thief, and if I had such things, I could steal them all over the world without being discovered.

No thief can ignore this.

You're like playing with fresh fish in front of a kitten, you're completely trying to seduce me. "

"I'm afraid, but I have no choice."

Mason poured the ground herbs into the beaker, poured in clean water and shook it. He said without raising his head:

“Same to you, Ms. Selina.

Unless you are willing to stab Bruce Wayne to death in front of the League of Assassins. Sorry, I spilled the beans. I mean, your beloved Batman. "

He grinned, looked at the gradually changing color of the liquid in his hand, and said softly:

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you take those two things. Anyway, you have a very rich reserve husband who is willing to spend money for you. I know who to ask for debt collection.

So, it's okay, Mrs. Wayne.

Take whatever you like, but be sure to leave me a receipt with your signature. "

Catwoman fell silent.

Her fingers hidden in the invisibility cloak had already latched onto the hilt of Sujie's Eagle. It only took one vicious backstab to kill the young man who had revealed Batman's true identity.

Catwoman is confident that she will never miss.

"When did you know that?"

she asked.

Mason thought for a while and said:

"It was probably when we first met. Do you still remember that night when you gave me your cell phone to call Commissioner Gordon? I saw the number you set as emergency contact and marked as 'Love Nest'.

Then I tried calling once and guess who answered the call? Well, all I can say is that Mr. Alfred has a very Cockney accent. "

"You vicious bat boy!"

Catwoman screamed in anger:

"I won't let you become the next Robin! Bruce will definitely be tricked to death by you, a treacherous ghost."

"Thanks for the help, because I really have no interest in being Robin."

Mason said no more.

After Xiaoxiao showed off his skills to Catwoman, he relaxed and started making the primary healing potion. This time he strictly followed the steps of the formula.

Relying on the precise and skillful hands of Engineering Level 2, after failing twice, for the third time, I finally got a test tube capacity of light red liquid.

"Successfully perform a standard alchemical compound production, and alchemical skill proficiency increases."

When the prompt popped up, Mason put the test tube in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and the information label quickly popped up.

Primary healing potion

Quality: Standard items·Mediocre craftsmanship

Effect: Cure all injuries no higher than [moderate damage] within thirty minutes and have a weak [hemostasis and analgesia] effect.

Item description: A reminder for novice pharmacists, adding some lemon juice appropriately can make it taste better and more nutritious, and it will taste better when mixed with wine.

"Mediocre craftsmanship?"

Mason frowned at the quality evaluation. He followed the process exactly, and the materials taken out from Batman's herbal warehouse would definitely not be fake.

How could it be a mediocre review?

Are there any tricks that you haven't discovered yet?

"You seem troubled by the quality of the finished product?"

At this moment, Catwoman's voice suddenly sounded.

After the invisibility cloak was removed, she changed into a leather tights that was more suitable for combat. Catwoman, who had a cat tail whip on her waist, played with a bag of luxurious gems and took out a black U from her pocket. The plate was lost to Mason.

She bent her beautiful legs with astonishing curvature and squatted in front of the young man. She looked at the magical light red potion in his hand and said in a tone that did not cheer her up:

"You may need a little female wisdom. Let me ask you, do you know the difference between cheap industrial standards and expensive works of art?"

"Um"

Mason frowned and thought for a while, then said tentatively:

"Craftsman spirit?"

"Are you stupid? Have you been deceived into lameness?"

Catwoman was so angry that she stretched out her hand and knocked Mason on the forehead, scolding:

"It's uniqueness! Uniqueness! The producer's personal characteristics can never be simulated by those industrial standard parts. Although I don't understand alchemy, I understand art.

Just now I saw you making potions with a precise look, just like a robot.

Please, isn’t this industrial production again? Isn’t the characteristic of handmade products that even if they are made by the same hands, the finished product will be slightly different every time?

If two works of art are exactly the same, then they are definitely worthless. "

"Uh, let me think about it."

Mason lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He looked at the item description of this bottle of potion, and took another bottle of freshly squeezed juice from Catwoman. When he finished making the second bottle of potion, he added some passion fruit juice to it according to the prompts. .

"Successfully perform a special alchemical compound production, and the alchemical skill proficiency will be increased by X2."

Mason's eyes lit up, and he put the potion, which was darker in color due to the addition of juice, in front of his eyes to examine it.

Passion fruit herbal juice

Quality: Waste items·Standard workmanship

Effect: Drinking a cup of passion fruit-flavored potion will not provide any therapeutic effect but will make you feel happy.

Item description: Look what you did! You just ruined a bottle of good medicine!

"this"

Mason looked at the bottle of medicine in front of him, his expression became very strange.

It should have failed because the potion failed, but the prompt told him that the alchemical compound was successfully made and gave him double proficiency. So messing around is the essence of alchemy?

Is it really like that song goes, "The secret to making soup is to add a little poisonous mushrooms and an old shoe heel"?

No.

To be precise, it should be "try".

Young people feel that they have found a doorway, and they should be brave enough to try more unknown formulas in order to go further on the road of alchemy, but this kind of attempt is definitely not just adding juice randomly.

It is necessary to carry out secondary processing with personal characteristics based on the characteristics of different materials based on a thorough understanding of the formula.

"I probably understand."

Mason squinted his eyes, picked up a very good quality ginseng seed, and tried a third time. This time he got a five times proficiency prompt, and the finished product turned into something very strange:

Primary nourishing ointment

Quality: standard items·excellent workmanship

Effect: unknown

Item Description: Feeling like the body is being hollowed out

"understood."

After seeing the description of the item, Mason drank the potion and continued to make his own alchemical potion.

This boring attempt lasted until the afternoon of the next day.

Thirty-seven light red standard primary healing potions and fifteen gaudy gadgets of various colors have been placed in front of him.

The effects of these things are all unknown, and they have to find someone to test the medicine, but Mason can be sure that these things are not poisonous. Well, probably not, most likely not.

The young man moved his sore neck and wrists, glanced at the alchemy skills that had successfully reached Level 1 on the screen, put away his potion, and whispered:

"It seems we need to find some 'test subjects'."

"Someone's coming, Mason!"

Catwoman's reminder also sounded at this moment. Mason immediately picked up the double-barreled hand cannon at hand, and Catwoman, who was wearing an invisibility cloak, held the hilt of the sword at her waist.

As the two people watched, a brisk footsteps came from the entrance of the sewer, humming a strange song. When he approached, Mason heard the sound and waved to Catwoman.

The people who come are friends.

"Hey, boss! You are really here!"

Charles, the Kite Man, appeared at the door of the hideout, wearing a crisp suit and a windbreaker, dressed like a successful man with a glowing face.

He was carrying a very beautiful briefcase.

He hugged his boss first, and then opened the briefcase, revealing the retro-style magic suitcase hidden inside.

"I even brought you a surprise!"

Kite Man opened the suitcase with a wink and flipped the switch of the Traceless Extension Charm. The next moment, a tightly tied guy was thrown in front of Mason.

Judging from the way he was drunk, he must have been knocked unconscious by an attack and thrown into the suitcase.

"This is the guy in the gangster bar who is responsible for commanding the Penguin Gang to hunt you down, boss."

Charles picked up a cigarette and put it under his nostrils, sniffing it, then introduced to Mason:

"I followed him all the way and found out that he was dealing with some mysterious guys. He must know something, so I knocked him out and brought him here."

"Very good, then let's start extracting a confession and dig out all the secrets in his head!"

A chill flashed in Mason's eyes.

He took his suitcase and felt a sense of security suddenly arise. He took out the Veritaserum that made the hidden Catwoman hate it and threw it to Kite Man.

Signaling him to start working.

At the same time, the Hell's Eye pendant on Mason's collar suddenly "opened its eyes", and Zha Kang's voice came from it and sounded in Mason's ears.

explain:

"Find a safe place, Mason! I need to talk to you. There is progress in research on your curse. I mean, get ready for the reward!"
