Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 303 Now I have no choice but to buy it.

Star Labs spent several days setting up Barry Allen's bed and medical equipment.

"I said, are we really going to put it right in the lobby?"

Cisco's fingers danced across the keyboard, but his gaze would occasionally drift unconsciously to the center of the laboratory hall—Barry Allen was still lying unconscious on his hospital bed, surrounded by a pile of electronic medical equipment, with all the parameters displayed on them clearly visible to both of them.

“That’s safer,” Caitlin replied. “We’re not sure what other special changes might happen to Barry Allen’s body. It’s easier to observe when it’s within easy reach, and there’s no chance of anything going wrong.”

“Okay, okay,” Cisco muttered, “I’m just not used to staring at a naked man all the time.”

“He’s covered with a blanket,” Caitlin said calmly. “Besides, for doctors, there’s no difference between men and women; solving the patient’s problem is the most important thing.”

Cisco sighed.

"How did his cell test go?"

“It’s very abnormal. They are in a strange state of slow cell regeneration—I’ve never seen this before and I can’t explain it.”

"Is that why his broken ribs healed overnight?"

"It's possible, but we can't be sure."

"Okay, so what else can we do next?"

“We don’t need to do anything, in fact, we can’t do anything.”

Catherine shrugged: "His cell regeneration seems to be constantly consuming energy, which is why his body has been showing abnormal reactions from time to time in the hospital. Considering that he can't eat, I will give him my specially made nutrient solution via IV drip."

“Okay.” Cisco looked away and continued typing on the keyboard: “I’ll continue designing my new fire suit.”

Within five minutes, Cisco subconsciously felt a void in his mouth. He picked up another ox tongue pastry from the plate beside him and stared at it hesitantly.

"No, no, I have to eat it sparingly." He silently warned himself: "I didn't buy much this time. If I finish it in one day, I don't know when I'll be able to buy it again."

Caitlin happened to be passing by him and saw him staring at the cookie in his hand with a serious expression. She couldn't help but feel a little strange, so she took one from the plate and took a bite.

There's no meat in the ox-tongue pastry; it's made with salt, pepper, sesame seeds, and a flaky crust, mixed with a little sugar and honey. The salty and sweet flavors complement each other perfectly.

In short, Hao Chi.

"Oh!" As soon as the food entered her mouth, Caitlin's indifferent face suddenly became lively, and her eyes lit up: "These cookies are really good."

Hey! Those are my snacks!

Caitlin looked at the flustered Cisco and instinctively asked, "Snacks?"

"Anyway, the Chinese guy who drove the food truck used that word; he said it meant 'dessert'."

"You seemed to be eating this before—have you been buying snacks from him these past few days?"

"No, that's not it. I only bought some of his pastries a few days ago. When I wanted to find him again, I couldn't find him anymore. I searched for several days, and today I finally ran into him on the street, so I just bought two hundred dollars' worth."

Caitlin was taken aback.

"Seize the young master?"

“Two hundred dollars, one dollar and fifty cents,” Cisco replied. “I specifically went out on the street with cash to look for him.”

"Cisco, I think you might be a bit..."

"I don't know, it's a bit strange?" Caitlin tried to choose her words carefully. "How about this, give me a pastry, I'll take it to get tested." "Do you really suspect he added something to the pastry, or do you just want another one?"

“I guess so,” Caitlin replied, taking another bite. “Well, I shouldn’t eat any more. It’s best to get it tested first, just to be on the safe side.”

Although that's what she said, she couldn't help but take a bite of her snack while she was talking. In just a few words, she finished talking and finished eating her snack.

Cisco: "."

“I’ll get another one for testing.” Caitlin reached into the plate next to Cisco. “I’ll be right back.”

However, Cisco clearly saw that she picked up the Yunnan ham mooncake from the plate this time.

It's clear that Caitlin is planning to try a new flavor, and this mooncake is most likely not coming back.

"Maybe we should buy more next time."

"It's so expensive!"

Ma Zhaodi scrolled through the list in the online store and couldn't help but sigh.

Today was a relatively peaceful day. A month and a half has passed since the explosion of the particle accelerator in the central city.

During this period, Ma Zhaodi's assets grew rapidly, and he became increasingly familiar with the streets and alleys of the central city. More importantly, he got to know many people.

First and foremost, there's the army of hungry children scattered throughout the city center. Their orders saved Ma Zhaodi a lot of time from hawking his wares. Although being urged to eat every day was a bit annoying, Ma Zhaodi gradually got used to it.

Secondly, there are ordinary citizens in the city center. For example, if the mushy in-laws like Denton and Elizabeth bump into each other on the street, they will definitely patronize the business. This is also the best cover for Ma Zhaodi to roam the whole city.

As for the last type, it refers to some very important figures in the original world that Ma Zhaodi knew.

The future Captain of the Frost, Leonard Snart, his sister Lisa Snart, Francisco Ramon, and recently even Caitlin Snow.

He wasn't worried about these people attacking him. After all, he was just an ordinary vendor with nothing worth coveting. The high-end criminals in the city center were mostly ambitious and wouldn't care about the little money in his pocket.

His concern was that if he interacted with too many important figures, the probability of being targeted by the mastermind behind the scenes would increase. Considering that he had discovered some extremely well-hidden, high-tech surveillance cameras of unknown origin in multiple areas of the city, he had reason to suspect that Reverse Flash had created a surveillance network throughout the city.

Coincidentally, after spending this period setting up a stall, he had accumulated another 400,000 asset points, so he decided to further equip himself.

"Buy a master-level computer expert; it can be used to counter surveillance."

Asset points -150000.

"Buy a Master-level Unarmed Melee Mastery skill to avoid having to fight in close combat."

Asset points -100000.

"Buy one... Huh? What's this thing?"

As he flipped through the pages, Ma Zhaodi's eyes widened as he looked at an option in the system shop.

[Dumb Cat]

Price: One million US dollars in assets

Note: Boss, if any bad woman tries to beat you up and take you back to be her mistress, I'll definitely bring you back in a little car, meow!
