Chapter 403: Gotham Hell Joke
Richard's collection opened the eyes of the witch, and she even saw many specialties from other worlds.
When she saw the floating tower and floating city models and design blueprints stored in Richard's library, the witch realized that the knowledge she had was so scarce.
While these wizards were still paying attention to the land under their feet, Richard had already entered the astral world and was now heading to other worlds.
Even if she started to practice seriously from today and learn all the knowledge in the library, it would take at least hundreds of years for her to learn and master it. By that time, her master Richard, as long as he was still normal, would become a creator god.
Is it over now?
Originally, she thought that she would pretend to be submissive and run away or turn over to be the master after learning this knowledge, but she found that it was almost impossible in this life, the next life, or even the next life.
When she thought of this, the witch felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry.
"Study here well. If you want to read any book, there is a catalog next to it. I will unseal it after you have chosen it." Richard patted the witch's head and let her study here. Richard did not give him access to all books. After all, many books are not suitable for her to study now. It would be harmful to be exposed to some knowledge too early.
What the witch needs to learn most now is the spellcasting skills in the world of Motera.
Richard is in a good mood. Legendary spellcasters are still very useful. The more of this kind of high-level labor force, the better for him.
"Richard, you are back." Diana saw Richard coming back and hurried to greet him.
After seeing the witch following him, Diana was slightly stunned, and then said: "Is this the new Wonder Woman you brought back?"
"No." Richard glanced at her and said: "She is my maid, a legendary witch."
The witch next to him rolled her eyes and wanted to cast a magic on Richard to let him know how powerful she was, but when she thought of the gap between the two, she was immediately discouraged and could only stare at him a few times.
"A new maid? Or a witch?" Diana looked her up and down. Diana was originally a demigod body. After being strengthened, she was calculated as level 35-37 according to the level of the Motera world. As for Superman, if he didn't have the disadvantages of kryptonite and 0 magic resistance, his strength would be at least level 60.
With these disadvantages, Superman is at least a strong man of level 45.
"By the way, she is now a legendary spellcaster. You have to work hard. Now you are only a high-level mage."
Hearing Richard's words, Diana suddenly became a little depressed. Although her talent is very good, there are too many things that mages need to learn, which is a headache for Diana, who doesn't like reading very much.
"I remember that you haven't memorized "Advanced Skills of Instant Spells" yet, right? It's just right, you two can study together!"
"If the witch has learned it and you haven't, then you should go to confinement!"
"Ah?!" Diana was confused. It's over. I have to recite desperately now.
Diana was very curious about the arrival of the witch, and was surprised to learn that she was a legendary witch. After all, she also learned spells and her talent was also very good, but so far she was only at the level of a high-level wizard.
After conquering the witch, Richard went to outer space again to find Superman to draw some blood. He was going to make some more Superman blood potions. This world has kryptonite to restrain Superman, but other worlds don't have kryptonite.
A strength of 30% of Superman's strength is a strong man in any world. The mental defects in the Superman blood potion just happened to allow him to easily control the people who use the Superman blood potion.
Richard made a mental shackle in the Superman blood potion, and using this potion will automatically fuse the mental shackles. At the same time, the mental shackles are also a kind of protection, which can protect the user's mind from being harmed by other spells.
In outer space, Superman still has not been resurrected, but his body has almost recovered. The powerful regeneration ability of Superman's cells, after absorbing a lot of sunlight, began to revive, split, and grow continuously.
Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to extract Superman's blood. After all, with Superman's strong defense, it is not easy to pierce his skin. Besides, it is even more difficult to get Superman's blood when he is alive.
Richard is now relying on Superman's death sleep to extract his blood.
After checking that Superman's recovery speed has not changed, Richard once again extracted a portion of blood and returned to Earth.
Next, Richard began to make Superman blood potion in the laboratory. This time, the Superman blood potion can make five potions. While Superman has not been resurrected, make more for reserve.
While Richard was busy making Superman serum potion, the situation in Gotham City became more chaotic. A large group of demonstrators began to attack factories and government departments.
The cause was the tap water incident. Because of the hurricane, the water plant was also damaged to varying degrees, and some roads in some places also had problems.
When some workers were repairing the water pipes, they found that many water pipes actually used lead pipes to transport tap water. America had already completed the laying of water pipes decades ago.
At that time, there were no special standards for water pipes, and there was no legal document stating that lead pipes could not be used. However, lead pipes were used as water pipes by many water companies because of their corrosion resistance, low cost, and high plasticity.
Even because of the use of lead pipes as water pipes, the tap water has a sweet taste, which makes many people give good reviews to the water company's water.
Not only is the air sweet in America, but even the water has a sweet taste.
A few decades ago, due to scientific and technological reasons, humans did not know the harm of lead to the human body, so almost all water companies used lead pipes.
Just like when radioactive elements such as radium were first discovered, they were packaged as miracle drugs by merchants because they could kill cancer cells. There are toothpastes containing radium, soda containing radium, and even facial cleansers and lipsticks containing radium.
Because radium radiation can emit light, many watches are also coated with radium powder on the dials for night viewing. At that time, as long as the product contained radium, it would be immediately sought after by countless people.
Even products containing highly radioactive radium can be sold at will, let alone some lead pipes? Anyway, those big shots don't drink tap water.
Now that decades have passed, the toxicity of lead has been known, but the water company has not replaced the lead pipes. After all, it costs a lot of money to re-lay the water pipes, and the price of tap water is not high. It takes several years to recover the cost by relying on tap water.
Therefore, those water plant companies did not replace the lead pipes. Only when the tap water pipe is broken will this section of the lead pipe be replaced.
To this day, no one knows how many places in the water plant still use lead pipes.
After this news broke, a large number of citizens rushed to the hospital for blood lead testing. Because there were too many people, there were long queues in the hospital. In order to reduce the queues, the hospital raised the cost of blood lead testing by about dozens of times.
The behavior of the government, hospitals and water plants has angered the middle and lower-level people. In the past, only some lower-level people united to march and protest, but now almost all the middle and lower-level people have united.
Seeing this situation, the water plant conducted public relations overnight and proposed to change the testing company for re-testing. The government actually approved the new testing company's request not to test the lead content in the water.
Therefore, the government's tap water test report did not show the lead content, so the test report declared that the tap water in the water plant was qualified and met the American national standard. Please feel free to drink it.
There was an even more exciting operation next. Gotham City urgently issued a legal clause that privately testing the metal content in tap water was an illegal act, which completely eliminated the way for the public to test whether the tap water was healthy.
The introduction of this law instantly ignited the anger of the lower-class people. Countless people began to unite, and even without the encouragement of others, more and more people united. What's more, there is still the Joker in Gotham City.
The consequence of this kind of monkey trick is that the Joker broke out this matter, and the middle and lower classes of the entire Gotham were united by him. When Batman got the news, the whole Gotham was in chaos.
In the past, workers and office workers rarely participated in the parade. After all, the participants were all unemployed homeless people at the bottom of the society. Although the population was large, their influence was limited. But now the situation is completely different. Almost all workers, middle-class people, and lower-class people have all come out.
Batman's company has few people left. More than 70% of the population of Gotham are marching and demonstrating. Even the police have joined in. After all, the police are also related to the water supply.
When Batman found out that something was wrong, it was too late. These demonstrators soon caused a riot, and the whole Gotham fell into chaos.
"Why did this happen?" Bruce asked the general manager of the water company with a grim look.
"Sir, these are normal business practices. And the cost of replacing all the water pipes is the total profit of the water plant for three years," said the general manager of the water company next to him.
"Damn it!" Bruce looked grim.
If the water company had apologized, compensated, and replaced the water pipes immediately after the incident, the following incident would not have been a big deal, and the whole Gotham would not have fallen into chaos.
But it's too late now. Even if the government says it will compensate and replace the water pipes, no one will believe it.
Countless people began to smash and destroy shops, water companies, supermarkets and government departments, and the city was completely paralyzed.
