Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 328 One of the Safest Safe Houses
The collection of evidence and contact with the victims will take several more days, but Simon Steiger's award ceremony is this afternoon.

Ma Zhaodi raised his hand and looked at the pink Peppa Pig watch: "The gun shop and hospital issues have been going on for quite a while. It's one o'clock in the afternoon now. What time is Steiger's annual best contribution award ceremony?"

The three-wheeled vehicle answered instantly: "Three o'clock."

"We have plenty of time—let's go to the Steiger Building first, and then I'll cook a couple of dishes for Silly Cat."

"Long live the boss, meow!"

Ma Zhaodi rode the motorcycle, Dai Mao jumped on his head, and the three-wheeled vehicle sped off, arriving at the foot of a building.

I don't know if all large corporations like to do fancy things with their headquarters buildings, but Steiger Industries' building looks like a glass cube with an uneven surface. It's neither asymmetrical nor regular, but because it's all glass and the design is quite innovative, it doesn't look bad.

"I'd guess this wasn't Steiger's idea either."

"That's right, the building's designer is one of those two hundred-plus lawsuits."

"Getting something for free has become a habit."

A person, a cat, and a car arrived at an alley outside the building. The cat, with a strong sense of stealth, looked around and said, "Boss, there's no one around here, meow."

"great."

Ma Zhaodi took out a thin sheet of wallpaper and gently placed it on the wall. The paper sensed the flat surface and immediately unfolded and adhered to the wall.

The pattern on the paper was a large door, about two meters high and one meter wide. Once the wallpaper was laid down, the door pattern came to life, with delicate wood grain on the door panel and a bright metal handle, as if you could reach out and touch it.

So Ma Zhaodi actually reached out, grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door.

"Three-wheeled vehicle, are you coming in or not?"

"I haven't finished my energy drink yet."

"Then you should leave some people outside to be disguised and on guard."

"no problem."

The silly cat jumped directly over Ma Zhaodi's head and into the doorway. Ma Zhaodi followed closely behind, and the three-wheeled vehicle transformed into a motorcycle and followed last. Before entering the door, one of its motorcycle handlebars automatically fell to the ground.

The gate closed, leaving only the conspicuous wooden wallpaper on the wall in the alley. The motorcycle handlebars then began to disintegrate into countless fine particles of powder, which automatically climbed up the wall and adhered to the surface of the wallpaper, completely covering the paper pattern. They then changed color to blend into the texture and color of the wall.

Even if someone were to actually walk through the alley and even touch this part of the wall, this thin, less than one-fifth of a millimeter thick, small convex surface with a smooth transition between its edges and the wall would not attract any attention.

This is why Ma Zhaodi abandoned the idea of ​​using the warehouse as a safe house, because he had a better option.

Wallpaper Room (Small Apartment, Residential Style)
Price: $300,000 in assets

Note: Think it's too cheap? However, this is a product of Doraemon's futuristic interstellar exploration and colonization era. With space resources no longer scarce, the majority of the price of a wallpaper room actually lies in the space-folding technology used.

Note 2: The room comes with basic furniture and appliances, but energy supply is an additional charge—or you can provide your own energy source.

"The Autobots are still too versatile." Ma Zhaodi, who had just entered the room, glanced at the surveillance footage outside the wall on his phone and couldn't help but sigh, "Nanobots are practically indistinguishable from omnipotent ones."

“Only a small portion of my body is made of nanomaterials,” the three-wheeled vehicle replied. “Without the support of a skeleton, if we were entirely composed of nanobots, our combat effectiveness in our larger form would not be guaranteed, and we would have obvious weaknesses.”

“That’s enough.” Sanbengzi looked up. This was the first time she had come inside the door since Ma Zhaodi bought the prop not long ago.

Inside the door was a fairly spacious area, roughly the size of a typical 100-square-meter house, fully furnished with a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom—except for a television, it had all the necessary appliances such as a stove, refrigerator, water heater, and air conditioner.

"To be honest, I seriously suspect that this invention was used by their world to deal with nuclear war."

"Boss, it's time to cook, meow."

"..." Ma Zhaodi looked at the dazed cat with its intelligent eyes, couldn't help but rub its cheek hard, and then threw it directly into the kitchen.

"You glutton, go inside and practice your cooking skills!"

"Boss, this isn't what we agreed on, meow."

With a disappointed look on its face, the silly cat picked up the spatula with its little round hands and ran to the refrigerator to get some vegetables.

Ignoring its clumsy acting, Ma Zhaodi opened the system shop's storage location: "Then there are the energy blocks for the three-wheeled motorcycle."

He took out a square, regular cube-shaped purple energy block container from the system (although the three-wheeled vehicle insisted that the thing was pink, Ma Zhaodi insisted on his opinion). Its material was transparent and smooth, but it was not glass. In fact, it was not any kind of material on Earth, but a product native to Cybertron.

The three-wheeled vehicle immediately transformed from its motorcycle form into a nimble humanoid form. With shining eyes, she reached out and took the container, opened its lid, and poured all the purple liquid inside into her mouth.

That's right, the energy block is just a container; the real substance is the purple liquid energy inside, which is why the energy block emits a purple light.

Tons tons tons——

He looks like a drunkard chugging from a bottle.

“Take it easy.” Ma Zhaodi rolled his eyes, then walked to the small machine in the center of the room: “That whole block of energy can keep you going for at least a year. If I hadn’t bought you one before, I would never have thought that a robot could get drunk—thankfully you don’t go crazy when you’re drunk, or I would really have to control you.”

"Hiccup~, 'drunk' is what you humans call it." The three-wheeled vehicle's voice was already a little shaky: "We call it, hiccup!"

"what is it call?"

"Hiccup! Overcharging caused a temporary short circuit in the brain's neural circuitry!"

After saying that, the three-wheeled vehicle lay flat on the floor and began to snore softly and evenly.

Sparks occasionally crackled from his body.

"No." Ma Zhaodi looked at the three-wheeled vehicle on the floor and said expressionlessly, "I'm pretty sure this is what you call being drunk."

He took another pink cube from the small machine and then stuffed the empty container from the tricycle's hand and the solar-powered battery from her vehicle into the machine.

The machine silently restarted, and the energy in the battery was continuously converted into a concentrated purple high-energy liquid, filling one-tenth of the cube.

[Single-person energy block production device (Earth-specific modified type, can convert: chemical energy, electrical energy, internal energy, thermal energy and other Earth energy)]

Price: $200,000 in assets

Note: A high-efficiency solar-powered rechargeable battery is included with the purchase.

Note 2: Energy blocks are a highly compatible and high-quality energy source that can power almost all electronic devices.
