Chapter 10 - Every Profession Has Its Own Top Talent

After Batman finished a day's work, he returned home to a steaming hot meal.

But after Joker finished a day of crime, he had to personally buy groceries and cook at home.

This book is the first release on the entire web.

This was originally a meme circulating on Earth, and Connors never expected it to become reality now.

It's just that the one walking beside Harley Quinn wasn't Joker, but him.

The Melon-Eating System hasn't given any physical fitness rewards so far, which led to a problem:

He was almost exhausted to death.

Before the physical fitness rewards arrive, he has to use dietary supplements to revitalize himself.

Otherwise, looking at Harley Quinn who had been muttering about "rewards" all afternoon next to him, Connors doubted if he could survive tonight.

Fortunately, being a Heavenly Dynasty person, Connors was an expert in the area of "eating to supplement," personally buying a pile of food and managing to create a grand meal in Gotham City, where Western food was everywhere.

Tonight's grand meal ended with Harley Quinn's favorite Kung Pao Chicken. The girl fell asleep immediately, while Connors wrapped his pajamas around his waist and stood by the window, smoking a post-coital cigarette.

—Then, he saw Batman again, who he suspected was passing by, and they stared at each other through the window glass.

Gotham wasn't raining today, so with the moon outside, Connors could see Wayne hidden in the darkness even with his naked eyes.

Wayne wouldn't possibly like men, right?

Connors was glad that today he was finally not naked while smoking a post-coital cigarette, otherwise, if it happened a third time, he would really have to doubt Batman's motives.

At this moment, Batman outside the window also had a terrible headache.

After catching Joker and Riddler during the day, he just used Wayne Group's industrial machinery to speed up the construction of Arkham Asylum, and incidentally patrolled Gotham City at night.

Passing by the street where Connors was, he thought about sneaking in to install a tracker, but who knew the other party was also a night owl, and even stood by the window smoking a post-coital cigarette every day.

Batman couldn't possibly knock on the window glass and hand the tracker to the other party:

"Here, with this, I can know your movements at any time."

Contacting Poison Ivy was urgent. He had to completely grasp this guy's information before he became a threat... Batman gave Connors a deep look, spread his cape, and flew into the night.

[Melon-Eating Reward: Grandmaster of Unlocking]

...

The physical fitness reward Connors was hoping for did not appear. The moment the four characters "Grandmaster of Unlocking" appeared, it instantly plunged him into silence.

"There is no lock in the world that I cannot open..."

Is this the legendary "three hundred and sixty trades, every trade produces a Master"?... Connors couldn't help but want to scratch his head.

But soon, he recovered from his frustration.

With this ability, no matter where he was locked up, whether it was Arkham Asylum or Gotham Police Department, he could use any available tool to escape, and would no longer fear being imprisoned.

After understanding this, Connors casually tore off a piece of paper, then walked out of the bedroom and locked it.

He wanted to test this ability.

After folding the toilet paper several times, he inserted it into the keyhole, and then heard a "click." The metal lock cylinder was opened by a soft piece of toilet paper just like that.

Even though he successfully did it and had the corresponding knowledge in his mind, Connors still felt it was a bit outrageous.

"Grandmaster of Unlocking" lived up to its name. Theoretically, as long as the lock wasn't super complex, he could open it even by pulling out a few strands of hair.

Back in bed, the slightly excited Connors used "Green" to control the cactus at his neighbor's neighbor's house. It took him a while to calm down before he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Connors was woken up by a piercing scream.

The scream came from the neighbor's neighbor. The unlucky male owner of that household woke up to find the Batman-shaped cactus had grown into a Joker again, frightening him into letting out a sharp cry.

Harley Quinn woke up even earlier than Connors.

Harley Quinn: (Verb)

Connors: Lethal Tempo... Calm Mind.

After a while.

Amidst the police sirens (the neighbor's neighbor called the police again), Connors led Harley Quinn downstairs. He planned to find Joker today, whether through cooperation or other means, he must end the "Laughing Man" incident today.

He wanted to upgrade the Melon-Eating System's rewards to Lv2 sooner and get the physical fitness rewards credited sooner.

However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. When he saw newsboys selling concert tickets on Gotham's streets, with a long queue in front of them, Connors knew he couldn't escape.

—Harley Quinn snatched two tickets from the newsboy at lightning speed and excitedly showed them to Connors.

The reason she was so fast was that she neither queued nor paid.

Connors looked at the newsboy's tearful expression, quickly stuffed two large denomination banknotes into his hand, and said, "Keep the change."

"When the concert starts, I'll quietly slip away. If there's no new activity in Gotham City, it means Joker's subsequent plan hasn't unfolded yet, and I'll come back to accompany Harley. Otherwise, I'll let her stay here by herself."

Connors made up his mind. This morning, Harley Quinn... made him realize even more that the improvement in physical fitness could not be delayed any longer.

The concert was held at Gotham City's enclosed Stadium. With only stage lights, the surroundings were in a colorful black.

The singer on stage had top-notch figure and appearance, and their singing was like heavenly music, but Connors' heart wasn't there.

Just as he was about to slip away while Harley Quinn was completely engrossed, his Spider-Sense turned into a magnet again.

So, the innocent passerby sitting next to him was lifted into the air by Silk that appeared out of nowhere and dropped to the outermost edge of the audience seats. The empty seat was then occupied by "Silk" Cindy Moon, wearing a red, white, and black tight-fitting suit.

Because Cindy's movements were fast, others didn't notice the anomaly next to Connors, but Harley Quinn did.

The two women exchanged glances, then simultaneously grabbed one of Connors' arms and pulled him towards themselves. After finding they couldn't pull him, they both leaned closer at the same time.

[Submit?]

Connors couldn't help but start worrying about himself.....

...

Batman Bruce Wayne looked at the information about the singer "Xue Xi" on the screen and couldn't help but start getting a headache.

"Her public identity is a global touring singer, and her real identity is a superhero titled 'Ice Moon Flower Snow'... I hope she's really just here to hold a concert and not cause me trouble."

His gaze turned to another screen, which displayed the intelligence just collected:

Scarecrow was driving a tanker truck along the streets of Gotham. According to analysis, his destination was none other than the concert venue of "Ice Moon Flower Snow" Xue Xi.

Nearly ten thousand people were gathered there now. If Scarecrow were allowed to drive a tanker truck filled with unknown substances in like that, the consequences would be simply unimaginable.

The best-case scenario was that it contained sewage, but the driver was Scarecrow, so the situation certainly wouldn't be good. It might well be filled with a whole tanker of "Fear Toxin."
