Chapter 13 Huge Contrast
Chapter 13 Huge Contrast
"Yes, Mr. Levi won't blame you." Gordon comforted Robin, then paused, repeating, "Mr. Levi?"
Turning around in a daze, I saw Li Wei, dressed in rags, limping out of the police station.
Above him, the second floor of the police station was ablaze, casting a long shadow against the flames.
"Dear Li, I'm so glad you're alright!"
Gordon rushed forward and gave Levi a bear hug.
"Cough~ cough~" Li Wei coughed twice before saying in a hoarse voice, "If you don't let go of me, I'm afraid I won't be blown up, but you'll strangle me instead."
Upon hearing this, Gordon blushed and quickly released Li Wei, his hands hanging limply at his sides, looking rather awkward and at a loss.
"How...how did you survive? I thought you..."
Looking at the puzzled faces of the crowd, Li Wei's thoughts were pulled back to a moment earlier.
When the explosion occurred, Li Wei was in front, while the pig butcher was half a body length behind him.
Feeling the heat wave coming from behind him, just as Li Wei was secretly regretting the reputation he had finally gained, he felt someone pounce on his back.
Before he could react, he was blasted away by the blast wave and landed directly in the stairwell.
With the help of a butcher who didn't carry a knife, he survived despite suffering serious injuries.
When he came to his senses from his dazed state, he found that the pig, which had been butchered without a knife, was already dead.
He was struck by the complexity of human nature, which led him to limp out of the police station, resulting in the scene that just unfolded.
He recounted what had just happened, leaving Gordon deeply moved.
Just as Gordon was about to say something, Levi's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
...
The smell of disinfectant filled Li Wei's nostrils, stimulating every olfactory nerve.
He slowly opened his eyes; the cracks in the white ceiling resembled the veins of a Gotham map.
He tried to sit up, but felt excruciating pain all over his body.
Watching the medicine dripping continuously, Li Wei resignedly lay down on the bed.
A patient should act like a patient; there's really no need to show off.
In the empty ward, only the beeping of the monitor could be heard. Since he couldn't move anyway, Li Wei simply brought up the attribute panel and started checking it.
As soon as he opened the properties panel, his eyes widened in surprise.
Li Wei Chen
[Reputation]: 364
【Strength】: 0
[Agility]: 0
[Intelligence]: 2
[Free attribute points]: 1
He had expected this incident to increase his reputation significantly, but he never imagined it would increase it this much.
According to his estimate, it should just break through 300 points, with an error margin of no more than 10%.
With doubts in his mind, he directly checked the details of how he gained reputation. As a player, he could check the source of the relevant attributes at any time.
As Li Wei scrolled through the detailed accounts of how he gained reputation, he quickly became stunned.
[You killed the player 'Slaughtering Pigs Without a Knife' and gained 37 reputation points in all categories of 'Slaughtering Pigs Without a Knife'.]
Upon seeing this message, Li Wei was momentarily stunned.
When did he kill the pig without a knife? Isn't the system wrongly accusing an innocent person?
He quickly realized that the last player he came into contact with before he died was probably the one who killed the pig without a knife.
Therefore, the system directly determined that the pig was killed by him without a knife.
Once I figured this out, many things from before started to connect.
No wonder veteran players who participated in the closed beta warned newcomers to be careful to keep secrets, especially to be wary of other players.
It turns out that players can hunt each other and plunder each other's reputation points.
Therefore, it seems that we should not only be wary of the dangers inherent in Gotham itself, but also be more cautious of other players.
Thinking of this, Li Wei felt a wave of fear again. Fortunately, the fact that he didn't carry a knife when slaughtering the pig showed that he was grateful.
I just don't know if he'll give me a notification once I gain all his reputation.
Thinking of this, Li Wei quickly opened the chat channel and started scrolling up to find what he wanted.
[Slaughtering a pig without a knife]: "To Shen Tu A Le, and everyone who sees this, I only have one sentence to say."
"If anyone ever tries to harm Mr. 'The Prophet' again, I will fight them to the death, no matter where they are!"
Seeing the comment from "Slaughtering Pigs Without a Knife," Li Wei felt somewhat confused. Why was this guy suddenly threatening other players because of him?
With doubts in his mind, he continued scrolling up the chat history, and as he looked, his eyes narrowed.
[Shen Tu A Le]: "Everyone should know what happened in Gotham today. According to what I know, the 'prophet' mentioned by the Joker played a big part in the fact that we were able to get through this crisis safely."
Based on my speculation, whoever kills the "Prophet" will gain at least 500 reputation points!
Based on information gathered during the closed beta, players who reach 500 reputation points will unlock a brand new feature...
Shen Tu A Le's words were left unsaid, yet they left much to the imagination.
Upon seeing this, Li Wei mentally added Shen Tu A Le to his kill list.
This guy has repeatedly messed with him, constantly provoking players to attack him.
If I ever get the chance, I'll make sure Shen Tu A Le knows why the flowers are so red!
From this perspective, the reason why "Slaughtering Pigs Without a Knife" clashed with Shen Tu A Le was entirely due to himself.
Judging from the current situation, he doesn't even know he's a player.
Having figured all this out, Li Wei began to look forward again.
I wonder how much the traits I gain will improve me after reaching 500 reputation points.
Judging from Shen Tu A Le's tone, it seems like this will greatly help the player...
"Mr. Li, you're awake." The nurse's voice interrupted Li Wei's thoughts.
When can I be discharged from the hospital?
Looking at the nurse with her slender figure and legs covered in white stockings peeking out from under her uniform, Li Wei voiced his doubts.
"You suffered a moderate concussion from the explosion, with 32 fractures throughout your body, and have been unconscious for two days."
The nurse changed his medication, her beautiful red lips opening and closing: "But you're recovering very well so far, you can be discharged in three days at most."
After the nurse finished speaking, she looked at the Asian youth lying on the hospital bed.
She found it hard to believe that this handsome young man had saved so many people.
It would be wonderful if something could happen between us...
Feeling the unusual sensation in his palm, Li Wei glanced at the nurse in surprise.
He admitted that the nurse was very attractive, especially her long legs, which could keep many people entertained for a year.
However, he had no such thoughts in dangerous Gotham.
Li Wei casually withdrew his right hand and gently rubbed his temples.
"Thank you, beautiful lady. May I ask where my belongings are?"
Having been unconscious for so long, he needs to know the current situation in Gotham.
He wasn't in such a hurry originally, but after learning that breaking through 500 reputation points would unlock special features, a surge of desire welled up inside him.
The nurse gave Li Wei a resentful look, then turned and walked towards the shelf by the door.
No answer means no answer; in the adult world, many things don't need to be said so explicitly.
"These are your personal belongings. Commissioner Gordon said that if you wake up, please make sure to contact him."
The nurse handed Li Wei a brown paper bag, then swayed her hips and walked away without looking back.
The nurse's sudden change in demeanor surprised Li Wei, but he didn't regret it; he didn't play games for romantic encounters.
