Chapter 102 Is Gotham worth saving? (Please subscribe first and give me monthly votes)

"That's fine. Now you just have to wait to be reunited with your husband."

Hearing Wen Ming's words, Marlena cried even louder: "I don't know if I can wait until the day he comes back.

Wen Ming, I don't want to go back to that cannibalistic town."

The wife, who was originally emotionally stable, broke down again at this moment.

Thinking that it would take several years before she could see her husband again, Malena's whole body began to tremble violently again.

Wen Ming hugged the poor woman again. He knew very well how miserable women were during war. "Don't be afraid. If you encounter danger in the future, you can always come to the Metaverse from your universe."

Wen Ming told Marlena the results of John’s test, and then said, “This way, if you encounter something like this again, you can just run away.

And in the future you can hire John and Sarah to protect you. Now people from different universes can visit each other.

There's nothing to be afraid of in those small town men. After Bulma and I have an agreement on cooperation, I can get you a robot to protect you!
Although it’s not as powerful as the T800, it’s still enough to keep you safe!

The merchandise in the Metaverse Store will soon undergo a major update after Bulma arrives.

As long as Malena doesn't wander around and isn't discovered, she can rest assured.

"really?"

Malena raised her beautiful face, and her face was as delicate as a pear blossom in the rain, which could make all the men in the world swear to protect this delicate flower.

Wen Ming found his heart beating faster.

Even at this moment, I couldn't control my emotions.

It must be because Malena's succubus attribute has been activated.

"Of course it's true. Also, from now on, as long as you're not summoned by the world's will, you can come back at any time."

The last time Malena went back, she didn't stay for the full 72 hours like Sarah, but left early. She did it to test whether she could come back early.

Now it seems that the second rule should be adjusted to be more precise:

Time travelers can enter and exit the real world freely, regardless of time and place.

If a time traveler stays in the metaverse for 48 hours at a time, he will be summoned by the world's will and must return to the movie world to stay for the corresponding time before he can come to the metaverse again.

If you stay for more than 72 hours, you will be forcibly recalled by the will of the film and television world.
The difference from the previous description is that before you had to go back and stay for 72 hours, but now you can go back early after receiving the call of the world will, but you still have to stay for the same amount of time before you can come back.

Why does it feel so much like going back to recharge?

“I heard from Sarah and Helen that we’ll have to pay for the room from now on.

Me, I have no money.

There was even less money to hire John and Sarah.

Robots, robots must be expensive too."

One piece of good news after another brought a touching smile to Malena's face, but she soon thought of another troublesome thing.

"I can work for you. I'll do whatever you ask me to do. Please don't kick me out!"

Qiuhua bit her lips lightly, her face looking pitiful. She raised her neck and looked at Wen Ming, her eyes full of shame, embarrassment, and pleading.

Wen Ming smiled kindly, "Of course I won't chase you away. Didn't I tell you before? I want you to help me with the gold.

Well, you can also do it for me during normal times, Secretary."

Although the room fee must be collected, Wen Ming has other plans for the ball flowers.

"But there's not much gold in Sicily, and the people here are very poor."

Marlena's face was full of confusion.

“There are none in Sicily, but there are plenty around the world.

The little mustache guy is about to be defeated. You can help me get back all the gold he shipped to all parts of the world and the gold hidden by his soldiers.

I'll let Laura go with you then. She'll definitely be happy to go treasure hunting with you!"

Wen Ming reminded: "Why do you have to stay in Sicily?

The world is so big, don’t you want to go and see it?”

There are now multiple confirmed gold treasures of Little Mustache.

For example, the secret treasure of the Mox Salt Cave contains 250 tons of gold.

For example, the disappeared gold train and the treasure buried in the desert by the Desert Fox.

And what about those treasures with mustaches in treasure-hunting movies like "The Golden Age of El Dorado"? Do they really exist? Is it the same universe as "The Legend of Malèna"?
Wen Ming is looking forward to Malena and Laura working together to dig them all out one by one.

I believe Laura would also be happy to go on such a space adventure.

By the way, the heroine of "The Golden City" is also called Laura. Isn't that a coincidence?

Moreover, there are 27 tons of gold in "The Golden City".

It's just a little troublesome, it's all underwater.

It might take some effort then.

Wen Ming is looking forward to Malena and Laura working together to dig them all out one by one.

I believe Laura would also be happy to go on such a space adventure.

Marlena's whole body trembled, and her eyes suddenly burst into a bright light. "Yes, I can go abroad. With just a boat ticket, I can go to all parts of the world!"

"So, my good secretary, you need to learn both Hansic and Eagle Language, and it would be best if you could also learn Shilian Language, and embark on your journey to find the treasure as soon as possible."

Wen Ming patted Malena's back and kept describing a wonderful future to her.

Malena leaned in Wen Ming's arms, her eyes shining with excitement. She also developed a strong interest in the vast world.

Before, she was just a housewife on a small island, at best a beautiful housewife.

Now, through the metaverse and using a tablet computer, she has witnessed the wonders of the future world and has a better understanding of the brilliance of the multiverse. Her horizons are constantly broadening and her cognition is constantly improving.

The thought that she could go out into the world with Wen Ming's help broke the shackles in the housewife's heart.

Why do I have to keep enduring the harassment of those perverts in that damn town?
"Thank you, thank you, I will definitely repay you!"

In her excitement, Malena kissed Wen Ming directly on the forehead. After one kiss, she still felt it was not enough, so she kissed him a few more times. Then she stood up happily and walked out of Wen Ming's office briskly like a happy little elk.

At this moment, the beautiful wife seemed to have returned to her girlhood, spreading happiness and joyful laughter in the air.

The tears in the corners of my eyes also dissipated at this moment.

She felt like she had been reborn.

All this is thanks to Wen Ming.

Wen Ming touched his forehead and a smile appeared on his face.

Come on, ball girl!

Find all of Moustache's golden inheritance for me.

Strive to be a capable secretary.

……

"Hi, Wen Ming."

"Hi, Pepper."

After Malena left, Wen Ming welcomed Pepper.

The future CEO of Stark Industries wore a beige professional suit today, which was very OL style.

Wen Ming poured a cup of coffee for Pepper. At this time, Wang Xi and Belinda had not yet come to work, and Perkins was still resting.

"I'm sorry I scared you last night."

Wen Ming did not mention the job offer, but apologized again solemnly.

Pepper didn't go to find Tony, but came directly to him. Wen Ming realized that there was a chance of poaching.

It seems that the best friend's plan worked.

No, it was Tony who brought this upon himself!

After what happened last night, he actually went to bed with Maya.

You've gone too far!
Pepper smiled and said, "It's okay. Tony often encounters such attacks. I'm used to it. It's just that those big dogs are a bit scary. But you killed them all, didn't you?"

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "I can't hide some facts. My hotel is indeed coveted by some people. There are some now, and there will definitely be more in the future.

In addition, I cannot guarantee that there will be no evil cosmic characters coming in the future, and I don’t know the origins of those big dogs or whether they will come again, so such things may happen again.

I would like to invite you to manage my hotel part-time, but I must make these things clear to you in advance.

If you feel it is dangerous, you can refuse me, but I still welcome you to visit me often."

Wen Ming is very frank, so frank that Pepper feels that such a boss is much better than Tony, who is unreliable.

That bastard doesn't care about my feelings and just throws a lot of work at me.

"But, Tony..."

Pepper hesitated.

She was still a little worried about Tony.

She couldn't imagine how terrible Tony's life would become without her.

He's like a child who can't take care of himself.

Wen Ming took out a tablet and handed it to Pepper: “Here is all your information, including comics and movies. You can choose to read it or not.

After all, movies are movies, comics are comics, reality is reality, and your future is in your own hands, right?"

Pepper stared at the tablet in front of Wen Ming. She had seen the "Iron Man" movie series before, but she had not read the comics.

When she finished watching the movie, she was very happy. After all, she was finally together with Tony and had a lovely daughter.

However, Wen Ming's words now made the clever Little Pepper guess something: "Is my fate different in the comics?"

"Well, what can I say? You married Happy."

Wen Mingqiang suppressed his laughter.

Pepper opened her mouth wide: "Walter?"

Wen Ming added another blow: "Twice."

Pepper felt like her outlook on life was about to explode. Why did she marry Tony's bodyguard Happy?

This is not a joke, right?
How could I possibly like that big fat boxer?
"So, I say, movies are movies, comics are comics, and reality is reality."

Wen Ming poured Pepper another cup of coffee to help her calm down.

In fact, Wen Ming was also shocked.

I have to say that Mr. Li is good at making trouble.

Moreover, Wen Ming has confirmed through the experiences of several people that movies are movies, comics are comics, and reality is reality.

It is true that these time travelers come from the universe of movies, TV shows, comics and games, but they have complete lives and ever-changing thoughts. Apart from the major plot triggers, many things are not static.

For example, Sarah loves buying lottery tickets.

For example, the T800 is much smarter than it appears in the movies.

For example, John is very good at touching corpses.

And this is where they really are.

Otherwise, Wen Ming would have suspected that they were just a group of NPCs.

Pepper, who was already wavering, felt completely confused.

How could I marry Happy?
Don't I love Tony?

Don't I actually love Tony?
Just pure worship?
Isn’t the ending in the movie the only one?

……

After seeing off the distraught Pepper, Wen Ming went straight to meet the future Batman. As for this Bat-Lord, Wen Ming simply threw the PPT to him and asked him to go to the lounge to read it himself.

No matter how much I try to persuade this smart and suspicious Bat Master, he will not believe me.

Instead of wasting time, let him watch and think for himself.

Well, I am definitely not discriminating!

Because Laura received the same treatment.

Laura and Batman are, in a sense, the same type.

They come from good families, are smart, and are full of desire to explore the world. They would rather figure out everything on their own.

It will save a lot of time and effort if you wait until they have finished watching the video before talking to them.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Ming met Arthur.

Arthur also noticed a lot of things wrong at this time. He felt a little uneasy and even wanted to laugh nervously.

He could only keep drinking warm water, taking deep breaths, and forcing himself to calm down.

"Arthur, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Wen Ming prepared a small cake and a large food bag for Arthur. Seeing the small cake with the Flatiron Hotel logo, Arthur smiled happily: "Thank you, boss, you are so kind to me."

"Arthur, I know you have a lot of questions. I can tell you all of them, but I'm afraid you can't handle it right now. Besides, you need to go back and take care of your mother. So, my suggestion is that you take the food back and take good care of her first.

When you are done, come back to me and I will tell you something about you."

Arthur was a little flattered: "Thank you, boss. I, I didn't expect you to prepare so much food for me."

"You deserve it. After all, I didn't even tip you last night."

Wen Ming took out an envelope and handed it to Arthur: "Is gold okay?"

"what?"

This time, Arthur really couldn't sit still.

Isn’t this boss too generous?

"Take it, you deserve it. Next time, we can be partners again, okay?"

Wen Ming smiled gently.

He didn't know whether the Ugly King was really born last night, but if poor Arthur knew that his life was just a movie and a comic, the birth of the Ugly King would definitely be inevitable.

Although he knew this was an inevitable result, Wen Ming still hoped that Arthur could enjoy a normal life for a few more days.

This can be considered as Wen Ming's little persistence.

"Sure, Boss. I'll definitely prepare some new jokes when I get back."

Arthur was completely calmed down by Wen Ming's series of comforts. He no longer thought about those messy things. Now he just wanted to enjoy again the happy time of being applauded by so many people last night.

So what if there is something strange about the boss's hotel?
Could it be weirder than this weird freak of mine?

Besides, my boss is so good to me, I absolutely cannot let him down.

Wen Ming delivered another final blow: "Little Wukong is also looking forward to your performance. Do you want to go and say goodbye to him?"

"it is good!"

When mentioning Goku, Arthur couldn't hold back the smile on his face any longer.

He couldn't wait to get up and knock on the door next door.

When Little Wukong saw the bag of food in Arthur's hand, his eyes lit up: "Arthur, are you here to bring me food?"

Arthur laughed: "You're not full yet? These are for you."

"Thank you!"

Little Wukong was about to take it happily, but Wen Ming stopped him with his hand: "Wukong, these are the food I brought for Arthur's mother. If you are hungry, I will prepare new ones for you."

"Ah? I get it then. Are you leaving, Arthur?"

Little Wukong blinked his big eyes and looked at Arthur. Arthur nodded and said, "I have to go back to take care of my mother and prepare some new jokes."

"New joke?"

Little Wukong suddenly burst into laughter: "Your joke is so funny. I want to laugh every time I think about it now. I want to listen to it again next time."

"Okay, I'll tell you a joke next time!"

Seeing that little Wukong was looking forward to his stand-up show from the bottom of his heart, Arthur felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

The Flatiron Hotel is truly my kind of paradise.

As long as my boss doesn't kick me out, I will perform for him for the rest of my life!
……

After Arthur left, Wen Ming naturally entered Xiao Wukong's room.

"Little Goku, weren't you full just now?"

All the meetings today were not as important as the meeting with Goku and Bulma.

"I am full."

Little Wukong rubbed his belly and smiled happily: "Hahaha, I don't even want to leave."

"You have to say thank you!"

Bulma reminded him from the side. After seeing Goku say thank you, she smiled and looked at Wen Ming: "Wen Ming, let's talk about the business of the universal capsule?"

At this moment, she seemed to have completely forgotten the embarrassing moment of Holy Light in the morning.

that's not me.

It's Bulma, Pluma, Broma, Zhuangzi, but it's definitely not me, Bulma.

"Don't rush this yet."

Wen Ming took out a tablet computer again and placed it in front of the two of them: "I thought about it all night last night and decided to tell you some truths about your fate.

You have to decide for yourself whether you want to know your own destiny."

"Destiny? What is that? Is it delicious?"

Little Goku looked at Wen Ming in confusion, but Bulma was much smarter. She had noticed that something was very wrong with this hotel since last night, and the styles of the people at the birthday dinner last night were so different that they felt out of place.

Combined with the existence of space cracks, this made her guess that those people all came from different universes.

Now when she heard Wen Ming mention the word destiny, she immediately realized that this conversation would have a huge impact on her future.

However, Bulma was already on the road to find the Dragon Balls at such an age, so she was naturally very bold and independent-minded, so she nodded and said, "I have no problem."

Wen Ming looked at Xiao Wukong again and said, "Destiny is not about food, but about your possible future development.

Well, in short, you can see what you'll be eating and who you'll be eating it with for decades to come."

"Huh? This one? I definitely have to see it!"

Little Goku's eyes sparkled.

Wen Ming didn't say anything more, but pushed the tablet to the two of them: "Go back to your room and watch it. I'll have the waiter bring you food at noon."

After thinking about it overnight, Wen Ming believed that even if they were allowed to watch it, it would not affect their future development. Instead, it would further stimulate the rapid growth of the warlike Saiyan Goku.

"Thank you, Wen Ming!"

This time, without Bulma's reminder, Goku excitedly bowed in thanks, then urged Bulma to leave quickly.

He couldn't wait to know what delicious food he would eat in the future.

As for who you eat with, it’s all fine.

It is best to be warm and bright.

Hehe, Arthur is not bad either.

Bulma has to have one too.

Bulma stood up and bowed to express her gratitude. She was also full of curiosity about her future.

The two walked back to the bedroom together, and soon they were immersed in the PPT.

What Wen Ming prepared for them was not cartoons, but comics.

After all, cartoons are too slow, so reading comics will definitely be faster.

"Huh? Why does this person look so much like me? Oh, the thing about me fishing with my tail is exactly the same?"

Little Wukong watched and listened to Hai Hou’s PPT but didn’t understand it.

But when he saw everything about his life on Baozi Mountain drawn, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, Bulma, you're here too.

The painting looks like you. This is what you looked like when we first met a few days ago."

Compared to Goku's ignorance, Bulma was stunned.

She never imagined that she actually came from a comic book world.

And when she saw everything she had done after meeting Goku presented in the comics, her face turned red.

how come?
how come?
Doesn’t this mean that Wen Ming already knows what I have done?

shameful.

Ahhh, can I go back to my world now?

However, the two were soon attracted by the wonderful adventure that followed. Little Goku's eyes lit up: "Wow, there are so many powerful people!"

Bulma was surprised that there were so many enemies in her adventure to find the Dragon Balls.

When the two saw that Master Wu Tian had flattened the Flaming Mountain with a single shockwave, Little Wukong was completely shocked and excited: "That's amazing! He has such a trick! I want to become his disciple and learn martial arts from him!"

When the two finally finished reading the first volume, "The Search for Dragon Ball", Bulma felt like she was about to collapse when she saw herself and Yamcha being together in the end.

"How could I possibly have a boyfriend like this? And such a weakling at that? What's so handsome about him? He's nowhere near as handsome as Wen Ming!"

"Ahhh, did my youthful girl image collapse in front of Wen Ming a long time ago?"

"No, no, no, I want to find the Dragon Ball and make a wish. I want to erase all of Wen Ming's memories of me!"

……

After watching the first film of the Dark Knight trilogy, Batman Begins, Bruce fell into deep thought.

When he saw that he was being taken for training by the Shadow Warrior Alliance with ulterior motives, and finally that Master Duca was going to use Wayne Group's microwave transmitters and tap water system to spread hallucinogenic poison gas in an attempt to destroy Gotham, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

What exactly is justice?

Is the Shadow Warrior Alliance right?

How should I fight crime?

When he saw the second film, Bruce was even more confused.

How can there be such a person as a clown?
His evil is illogical.

The evil of the Shadow Warriors Alliance comes from their distorted justice, what about the Joker?
Bruce fell into deep self-doubt.

Are people like this really worth saving?
Fortunately, he soon saw that the Joker's game did not succeed, and the people on the two huge ships did not press the bomb switch as the Joker wished.

So human nature is still kind!

Gotham is worth saving!
Bruce's spirits lifted, and he felt that his faith had found direction again.

However, Bruce soon saw Harvey Dent, the "White Knight", finally degenerate into Two-Face, and he felt his heart become restless again.

How could a person who is so committed to justice eventually degenerate into a criminal?

Can I hold on?

Bruce couldn't help but want to call the front desk to have someone send over a bottle of wine, but thinking of Wen Ming's instructions, he picked up a glass of water and let the sweetness moisten his dry throat.

What exactly is justice?

How to maintain it?

With all sorts of mixed emotions, Bruce clicked on the third part.

He had a hunch that he might find the answer in the third part.

……

Wen Ming is very busy today.

Busy chatting with the time travelers, busy dealing with hotel affairs, and busy dealing with chip matters with Tony.

"Great! There really is time machine information!"

After Tony inserted the T800 chip into Haihou's host, he quickly cracked the firewall and quickly removed all the backdoor programs of Skynet.

Then, after carefully reading the information stored in the T800, he danced with excitement.

He no longer concealed his desire to save his parents.

Wen Ming also smiled happily: "All of this needs to be thanked to Sarah. She worked so hard to get the chip back."

Tony paused, then nodded. "She's going to experience the apocalypse in the future, right? Leave it to me. I'll help her prepare all the survival supplies. I'll also prepare robots for her, at least three T800s."

Sarah, who was standing aside, smiled with satisfaction.

She originally just wanted to give it back to Wen Ming, but she didn't expect Wen Ming to help her fight for a better future.

He is truly a noble person in my life.

Tonight I will work harder than last night to reward him well.

However, there was no way Wen Ming could dismiss it so easily: "Why don't you help Sarah destroy Skynet? Although Skynet is destined to be born, you can create a more powerful Jarvis!"

Tony continued to read the information without looking up: "Wen Ming, you finally discovered my genius!"

"Of course not. You created and destroyed Ultron, so I believe a small Skynet is no problem for you."

Pepper, who was standing nearby, saw Tony raise his chin in triumph and wanted to cover her face.

No, why did I admire such a person before?

Is it too late for me to change my boss now?

Sarah could no longer suppress the surprise in her eyes.

Destroy Skynet?

Can Skynet really be destroyed?

Doesn’t that mean that Judgment Day can be avoided?
