Chapter 54: Storm Is Coming

"So, next, I will start to focus on this final exam. Please open page 1 of the textbook. Let us start from the table of contents and read down, from the first section of Chapter 1 to the last section of Chapter 10. Every section is the key point..."

"Looking down, you must memorize the first 50 pages of this book except for the pictures. All conceptual statements will appear on the test paper in the form of fill-in-the-blank questions. After the end of the third section of Chapter 2 on page 60, the following parts will There are essay questions and short answer questions..."

"In addition, for the relevant content after Chapter 7, I will select some important content to formulate propositions for your final paper. The final paper is still 3,000 words, and the scoring ratio between the test paper and the paper is 7:3. The usual score ratio is 6:4.”

"In other words, if you can't get a good score on the paper, you will definitely fail."

"In addition, in accordance with the consistent tradition of Gotham University, starting from the next academic year, I will prepare and organize additional psychology courses. If you want to participate in this course, you must achieve a total score of 85 points in this final exam. As mentioned above, related societies and clubs are also being prepared. Students who are interested in serving as directors and club leaders can come to my office after class.”

"Okay, get out of class is over."

Schiller closed the book and walked out of the classroom. The students below relaxed and then began to wail.

"Oh my God! This book is thicker than my fist. I have to memorize it all!"

"You think, if I fail the exam, will he give me a shot?"

"I didn't see him holding any pistols or revolvers. I guess he might have used cold weapons, such as military stabs and knives."

"Who remembers what was just said in Chapter 3? Where to start with the essay questions?"

"Help! Evans! Evans! Are you there? Do you have any notes? Lend me your notes. Damn it, for most of this semester, I only came here after I had finished eating, and I didn't listen to anything! "

"If my father knew that I studied so hard in college, he would be moved to tears!"

Bruce was also sitting in the crowd, but he was not as panicked as the others. For him, carrying a book was not a problem.

He wanted to discuss something with Schiller, about building a private prison, but he could see that Schiller was in a very bad mood now, so Bruce hesitated and still did not leave with Schiller.

After a while, Evans came to him. He asked Bruce: "Did you hear what the professor just said about clubs and societies? I really want to be the leader. You know, the classroom discipline and the rules of this course." I have always been in charge of the homework, but I would like to ask your opinion about the club. Do you plan to participate? "

Bruce understood what Evans meant. There are not only interest clubs but also study clubs at Gotham University. Some popular courses will set up their own study clubs, which is equivalent to professors giving extra classes to students. Of course, any club will involve funding issues. , many societies want Bruce to join them because he is a rich man.

However, Bruce had not participated in any serious clubs. He was impatient with those club jobs and did not want to be chased after him for money.

But the psychology club is different. He felt that he could get some extra help here, so he said to Evans: "I will go to the professor and ask him if he can give me the position of president of the club. As for the club, I Without any interest, you can be the leader of classes and clubs.”

Of course Bruce knows that Evans is Falcone's son, but Evans' family background is too common in Gotham. In this class alone, there are at least six or seven sons of gang bosses, but Evans' father Just stronger.

The group of people who usually hang out with Bruce are basically the nephews of major gang leaders. In a sense, Batman's other identity can be regarded as going deep behind enemy lines.

To talk about why Schiller is in such a bad mood, we have to start from this morning.

Over at Marvel, although Obadiah was rescued, he was still very weak. Although his heart was functioning well, as Strange said, he was too old and his physical function was too poor. , now he still has to stay in the intensive care unit, and Stark has been accompanying him. It is his only relative, and even Pepper cannot interrupt their father-son love.

Rhodes temporarily left the military. He said that he had not been on vacation for several years, so on the eve of Schiller's departure, he and Dr. Ethan participated in a scientific research project in Antarctica and left temporarily. New York.

Although there are still many unanswered questions about the events of Iron Man, everything has calmed down for the time being.

So Schiller returned to Gotham.

When he got together this morning, he found that the weather in Gotham was surprisingly good. Although there was still a layer of mist, he could actually see the faint sunshine shining on the ground. This was so rare.

So he planned to take advantage of such a great opportunity to have a random chat. After the Iron Man incident, he got another chance to chat, but he had one left from the last incident, so he now has two.

But as it turns out, Gotham is indeed a place where individuals are outstanding. Schiller clicked on the chat panel and used random chat.

The avatar that appeared had black hair and a green eyepatch.

Schiller shut down the system almost in a panic.

Green Lantern!

Yes, it’s the Green Lantern played by the same actor as Deadpool!

Although Deadpool didn’t appear, he was everywhere. Although Schiller hadn’t seen Deadpool yet, he was surrounded by Deadpool.

“I have to ask you, have you seen any strange flying objects? I mean, the traditional flying saucers…”

Soon, Green Lantern sent a message.

Schiller judged from this line of text that Green Lantern Hal might have encountered a crashed alien spaceship, and it was through this incident that he got the Green Lantern ring entrusted by the aliens.

Schiller clicked on the avatar, and sure enough, Hal’s ability could not be copied for the time being because he hadn’t become a Green Lantern yet.

So Schiller replied: "I vaguely remember that I have seen it several times. What? Did you see a UFO? I can recommend a website to you. It is full of such records. You can look through it carefully."

"I have looked for them all, including websites that record UFOs all over the world, but they all see things flying in the sky."

"Then what did you see? UFOs don't fly in the sky, so how can it be called a UFO?"

"Oh, it... of course! Of course it used to fly in the sky, no no no... nothing, forget it..."

It seems that Hal also realized that he shouldn't reveal so much information to a stranger he just met on the forum. After all, if the other party knew that he had found a crashed UFO, he would most likely be found by the military.

Schiller sighed. Regardless of what kind of abilities the Green Lantern ring can bring him, he couldn't accept the fact that Green Lantern was another Deadpool. He hoped that Green Lantern would be a character in the comics, and not a chatterbox anymore.

In the afternoon, Schiller was in a better mood. Gordon came to him and asked Schiller, "Have you seen Falcone recently?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

In Gotham, dealing with gangsters is not a shameful thing, or no one can avoid dealing with gangsters.

In Gotham, if you can say a word or two to the Godfather, it is something to be proud of.

Gordon said, "Our new police chief seems to be the Godfather's man. Of course, there is nothing strange about this, but I want to know how he plans to deal with this mess?"

"Although I know that Falcone was a radical hawk in the early years, in recent years, he seems to have a tendency to turn to conservatives. I just want to know in advance where the Gotham Police Department plans to turn."

It may sound ridiculous that the police chief is the gangster Godfather's man, but it is normal in Gotham. Although Gordon is a good and righteous policeman, he knows the ecology of Gotham better than anyone else, so he will not be the kind of reckless young man who intends to overthrow all order by himself.

On the contrary, he wanted to find a unique way out in the complex game, so he had to get along well with all parties.

"I became the Godfather's tutor, responsible for teaching his son. You are right. In recent years, the Godfather has become more conservative, probably because he is old."

"I don't think you need to worry that he will take some drastic measures. On the contrary, in a sense, he may help you fight those troublemakers."

Schiller sat down, poured a cup of coffee for Gordon, and said, "The last time I went to his house, the heads of several families were meeting. I heard that the docks in the east have been uneasy recently..."

Gordon sighed and said, "I just learned that the Edward family, which has been controlling the five docks in the east, has had internal changes. Little Edward killed his father and fell out with his uncle."

"You know how important those docks are. 60% of Gotham's smuggled goods come from there."

"I heard that the Edward family is old enough and is a native of Gotham. Family, even earlier than Falcone. "

"It's hard for me to say. I just dealt with a fight there yesterday. The new director has been invited by Edward Jr. Today I came to ask you whether Falcone intends to intervene in this matter. If he intends to intervene, will he stand on Edward Jr.'s side? "

"If Edward Jr. really took over the Edward family..." Gordon sighed and said, "He is a complete lunatic. He will not ban many dangerous goods like old Edward. Gotham will be in chaos again."

"Gotham will be like this one day. Don't worry. The police can't handle this now. At most, you can run a few more times to clean up the mess."

"As for the Godfather..." Schiller shook his head and said, "I can only say that compared to the enemy, Falcone is now more like your friend and ally."

"He doesn't want Gotham to be in chaos more than you do."
