In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 16 Penguin

As a ninja, climbing walls and treading water are basic skills.

Ignoring the noise coming from the bar downstairs, in order not to attract attention, Qingshui picked up the safe, climbed up to the window, and evenly distributed the chakra on the soles of his feet. He stepped on the wall vertically at 90 degrees, walked to the balcony without anyone noticing, and with a few leaps, disappeared into the high-rise building.

An hour later, Iceberg Restaurant.

The first floor below ground level.

This is the casino hidden beneath the Iceberg Restaurant.

As soon as he arrived here, someone asked Qingshui to go to a private room.

"It's incredible that you escaped from Arkham, Doctor Doll."

In the box, the penguin man looked at Qingshui in surprise.

Here, Shimizu did not hide his identity, because his identity as an Arkham graduate made it easier for him to get along here.

This is equivalent to a high-level criminal degree certified by Professor Batman himself, and it is of great value.

Thanks to Gotham's news media who dispatched helicopters and reporters to capture the final battle between Batman and the Joker, the whole of Gotham already knew what happened in Arkham Asylum.

The several criminals who escaped, including Shimizu, became dangerous criminals wanted by the Gotham Police Department.

Especially clear water.

After subsequent investigation by Batman, the greatest detective in the world, it was believed that Shimizu was the mastermind behind the prison break that took advantage of the Joker incident.

Overnight, Clearwater became famous in Gotham and became Gotham's new star villain.

"Are you interested in working for me?"

Sure enough, the penguin man with a cigar in his mouth solicited Qingshui.

"I prefer to work alone, and if we gather together, we will be too big a target and will easily attract the attention of small black animals."

Shimizu placed the safe on the table in front of Penguin.

"I need to buy some things."

A female dealer holding an electronic scale took the initiative to walk over and began to count the contents of the safe.

"Aha, you're right, there's a little bat boy trying to find out about you right now!"

The Penguin pushed up his glasses and laughed.

The Bat-family has one more problem, which is a good thing.

It was Nightwing who inquired about Qingshui's news.

Ever since the Titan Venom in Milovan's body was separated out by Wayne Technology using a blood separator and restored to its original appearance, Nightwing realized that he had been fooled.

After the investigation was completed, Nightwing took the initiative to ask Batman to capture the prisoners who escaped from Arkham.

"There are fifty chips in total. Normally, I charge a 5% handling fee for transactions here, but I'll waive it for you this time."

The Penguin Man clapped his hands, and immediately one of his men brought fifty chips to Qingshui.

"Ten thousand for one, happy shopping, my friend."

The Penguin flipped his hand, made an elegant please gesture, and opened the door.

Qingshui walked out of the box, passed through the noisy casino, came to a small door, opened it, and stepped into the elevator.

The first underground floor is a casino, and the second underground floor is the black market run by the Penguin Man.

The original incarnation had been here once before, so Qingshui was so familiar with the place.

In the aisle, black cloaks and masks were hung.

This is for guests who do not want to reveal their identity and can be worn or not.

Qingshui put on a black cloak, took off a raccoon cat mask and put it on his face, then walked into the black market.

As the largest black market in Gotham, it is quite lively here. After all, Penguin is also a well-known gangster in Gotham, and he is the most business-savvy gangster.

Most people, like Shimizu, use cloaks and masks to disguise their identities.

This is true for both the seller and the buyer.

Almost everything including guns and ammunition, human organs, rare mineral medicines and various jewelry can be found here.

Qingshui began to select, touching here and looking there.

The main purpose of coming here is to find materials for making puppets.

If I see something that interests me, I’ll buy some first.

He was not very familiar with the materials here, mainly because he didn't know how conductive their chakra was.

But, most of them don't seem to be that good.

Chakra has existed in the Naruto world for thousands of years. Many substances have developed tolerance to chakra and have a certain degree of conductivity, such as chakra metal and various plants used to make detonating tags and chakra test papers.

But not here.

Qingshui frowned.

When making a puppet, it doesn't matter if the chakra conductivity of the main part that is used as the filler is a little poor, but as the chakra hub, the location that connects the chakra lines, the chakra conductivity must be good.

The ones I have encountered so far seem to have somewhat average effects.

It seems I'll just have to make do with it.

Gold, silver and copper are the three metals with the best conductivity. They can transmit energy relatively well and are also the substances with the best chakra conductivity that Qingshui has discovered so far.

With his wealth, he could buy quite a few, but unfortunately, the hardness of these three metals were not high, and they were not very suitable as the main body of the puppet.

So it is better to choose aluminum alloy coated with bulletproof stainless steel.

You don’t have to spend too much time thinking about the weapon module, because there are so many weapons here, even RPGs are for sale.

After a stroll, Shimizu finally selected three ceramic composite bulletproof vests, a bag of miniature cameras, small radar sensors and other items, and two guns.

A Harding revolver and a Beretta PMX submachine gun.

These are the weapons that are intended to be modified onto the puppets.

Then there are some other materials that can be used.

The total cost was not high, only two chips were used, which is 20,000 US dollars.

"You don't seem to buy much. Do you think the things here are unsatisfactory?"

After coming out of the black market, Qingshui found the Penguin again.

"You don't have what I want, but if you think about it carefully, you should be able to help me solve some of the problems."

"Oh, I can't tell what you want to use the things you bought, but I think I should know what you want to do with me, your identity, right?"

The Penguin Man chuckled.

Now Shimizu is wanted by the Gotham Police Department. If he is caught, he will be imprisoned back in Arkham. And because he has escaped from prison before, he will most likely enjoy the same treatment as the Joker and be imprisoned in the cell with the highest security level.

So, he needed a new identity.

"Yes, a legal identity that can withstand scrutiny. I don't want to be entangled with that annoying bat in the short term."

"Aha, I understand. For an identity like this, $100,000, do I need to prepare a plastic surgery performed by a top doctor for you? After all, the identity problem is easy to solve, but the appearance..."

The Penguin said with a smile on his face while smoking a cigar.

"Need not."

Qingshui lifted his cloak and formed seals with his hands.
