Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 26 Wow, the Starting Soul King!

In Gotham City, Wayne Group is undoubtedly the strongest company in terms of comprehensive strength. If you can get a job here, you can basically fantasize about your wonderful life in Gotham in the future.

If given the opportunity to join, no one would refuse an offer from the Wayne Group. After all, it's the perfect starting point for fantasies like promotion, salary increase, high-ranking position, marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

So Ma Zhaodi looked at the system.

“I feel that this moment is the starting point of my successful life.”

"After testing, the basic requirements for Wayne Group's technical department staff are proficiency in some intermediate mechanical skills, some intermediate programming skills, and some intermediate physics skills. You do not possess the corresponding professional skills and qualifications for this position. If you force yourself to join, you will not be able to earn asset points through work."

So Ma Zhaodi looked at Lucius.

"I'm sorry, I can't do it. Goodbye."

It's so funny. Ma Zhaodi himself has less than 500 asset points now. In addition to the modified wheelchair and advanced wheelchair driving proficiency at the beginning, he also used them to buy basic driving proficiency and basic firearms use proficiency.

These two skills are worth five hundred and fifteen hundred respectively, which cost two thousand dollars in asset points. If Ma Zhaodi wants to buy all the skills required to join the technical department, he will have to save for at least a few months.

There's no other way. This is Gotham. If you can't drive or shoot, you can't maintain your daily life. Even though Ma Zhaodi drives a super-fast wheelchair to and from get off work every day, he is still chased and shot by a group of gold-clad thugs on the streets in the evening, and in the end even his wheelchair is stolen.

Lucius didn't react much to Ma Zhaodi's answer. He just smiled and asked, "You rejected the job without even asking about it?"

"I know my situation," Ma Zhaodi sighed. "I don't know how to do a job without the right tools. I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this job. I'd better continue to be a waiter. As for compensation, I don't know what to ask for. Can I just give him money?"

"Of course, I will personally pay you $5 as a reward, which will be transferred to your account soon."

The people in the Wayne Group are really rich. They can sell a few flowers for $50,000.

Unfortunately, these 50,000 are not considered normal labor remuneration, so the asset points in the system have not increased.

"Goodbye, Mr. Ma Zhaodi. If you have any clues about this plant, you are welcome to come to me anytime."

"I'll definitely do it next time." Ma Zhaodi waved his hand. "Goodbye, Lucius."

"Okay, okay, although I'm not sure how you got so much money, but anyway, you want to buy a car, right?"

"I already said it was a normal transaction," Ma Zhaodi corrected. "Can you please not use that tone that could easily cause misunderstanding? I'm arguably the most law-abiding person in all of Gotham. A five-star citizen rating wouldn't be an exaggeration."

Derek selectively ignored him, muttering to himself, "I'm planning on parking a car in East Gotham tonight. Don't buy one that's too new, too expensive, or not durable enough. Think about it, your week's wages are enough to buy a cheap, second-hand wreck. Anything more expensive is unsafe."

"So the real cost of buying a car is actually a safe parking space?"

Derek glanced at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? Where is there a safe parking space in the East Side? Not even the Falcone family can afford to open such a business."

"What if my car is lost?"

"A shabby used car can last at least a year. Even if it's lost after six months, would you feel bad?"

"After all, it cost over two thousand dollars, so it still hurts a bit."

This statement is actually a bit hypocritical. A broken car worth more than two thousand dollars is perfect as long as it can move. If there is a car accident, you can only blame your poor driving skills.

It doesn't mind that I'm poor, so how could I mind that it's shabby?

"Hey, Drake, wanna buy a car?"

"Yeah, is there anything reliable? Something over two thousand dollars will do."

Ma Zhaodi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that Drake was so familiar with the car dealer.

"You even have connections with car dealers?" Derek shrugged. "I drove a car when I first came to Gotham. Who do you think I sold my car to?"

Ma Zhaodi understood, and while the car dealer turned around and led the way, he quietly asked Drake, "Does this man have a conscience?"

Drake looked at him strangely. "What nonsense are you talking about? Where are the car dealers with conscience in the East District?"

"and you."

"Of course I got ripped off, and then I urgently took measures to cut my losses."

"You fought him with a gun?"

"No, from that day on, I had a part-time car salesman from the East District, who was specifically responsible for bringing people here to buy and sell cars. I split the profits 50-50 with the dealers."

Okay, Drake didn't have a gun, but he did follow him.

".You are such a bad guy."

"They're going to get ripped off by all the car dealers in the East District anyway, so maybe they can save a little money by being ripped off by me."

“Then I came here to buy a car.”

"Haha." At this point, Drake showed a confident smile: "Send it all, buddy. For my sake, he will cheat you less."

"Isn't that still a scam?"

At this time, the car dealer led them to a car with a smile on his face.

"This is our new car. It functions normally, with only a dozen or so minor dents on the exterior. It's a pleasant car to drive, and it's Russian-made, so it's durable. For Drake's sake, I'll only charge you $2,200. How about that?"

Before Ma Zhaodi could answer, Drake asked, "What's the problem?"

"Hey, who do you think I am?" The car dealer's face suddenly darkened. "Given our friendship, how could I possibly cheat your friend? Let him try it! If he finds any problems, I'll replace it with another one!"

Ma Zhaodi took the key and got into the car, skillfully starting the engine and shifting into gear. After testing the driving feel and inspecting the interior, he determined that the only problem was the tires; the engine, brakes, steering wheel, and seats were all fine. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Could it be that Drake is actually reliable for once?
The car dealer watched Ma Zhaodi's actions and breathed a sigh of relief. He then patted his chest and said loudly, "I told you! There's nothing wrong with this car—"

"laugh"

At this time, Drake turned on the air conditioner in the car, and a bright red mist was immediately blown out, mixed with the smell of moist blood.

"."

The car dealer's mouth shut immediately.

"Johnny, tell me the truth." Drake looked at me unkindly: "What's wrong with this car?"

"Ahem, this car had a little accident before."

Ma Zhaodi immediately understood that this car was equipped with a spirit ring.

“How many times has this been sold?”

".The fifth time."
