I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

The rope that was originally wrapped around Johnny Quick had somehow ended up around Carl's waist. The reason Johnny Quick hadn't attacked Carl while moving at high speed was because he was using the rope.

"Boss, are you alright?" Johnny Quick asked cautiously. If Carl was really being controlled, wouldn't his cursing just now have offended the new boss?

"Get to Gotham now, you have a mission there," Karl said, releasing his grip.

Chapter 41 New Pool

Johnny Quick breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his boss hadn't been controlled and that his own life was safe. So he didn't need to worry about the rest. In his mind, Carl was invincible, since no one but Carl could keep up with his speed.

"Yes, boss, no problem, boss. I guarantee I'll complete any task, no matter what it is." Johnny Express assured him, then instantly transformed into a yellow lightning bolt and left Metropolis.

Now only Carl remains in this dilapidated building. He stays in place with his head slightly lowered, making it impossible to see his expression. He is waiting for the Super Queen, who has been knocked away, to come over.

"Hehehe, didn't expect that, did you? So what if you're stronger than me? You still lost." Super Queen flew in through the hole she had smashed through the wall earlier, and when she saw Karl bound by ropes, she smugly mocked him.

She walked up to Karl, picked up the other end of the rope that was hanging on the ground, tied it tightly to her hand to establish dominance, and couldn't help but laugh again.

"Hahaha! Now, kneel down and let me see." Super Queen issued the order.

The rope binding Karl is called the Nushun Nushun Lasso. As the name suggests, it is a magical artifact that can force the bound person to submit to the user. This thing corresponds to the Lasso of Truth in the main universe, which can make people tell the truth. Both are sacred objects of the Amazons.

The Queen of the High Priestess has absolute confidence in the Lasso of Nushun. Even among all the artifacts, the Lasso of Nushun is the most powerful. It can force even an Old God to submit.

"Hey, didn't you hear me? Hurry up!" Super Queen urged when she noticed that Carl wasn't moving.

Just then, the Queen felt an irresistible force coming from the ropes, and she was pulled directly in front of Karl.

'Oh no!'

The moment the Super Queen had that thought, Carl's iron fist slammed into her face, deforming her features and sending her flying through the air as a deafening roar echoed in her mind.

Just as she was about to fly into the clouds, the rope binding her hands pulled with tremendous force, pulling her back to Karl for the second time. Then she was punched away and sent flying, only to be pulled back again...

At this moment, Karl had the illusion that he was playing single-player ping-pong, the kind where an elastic cord is tied to the ping-pong ball and paddle and you play alone. The ball that is hit by the paddle will be immediately pulled back by the elastic cord, and so on. It was quite similar to the situation he was in now.

Carl continued beating the Queen until her entire face was completely deformed before he stopped. Her once beautiful face was now so swollen and red that it was unrecognizable, and she could no longer attract anyone with her looks.

Carl was certainly not controlled; his magic resistance was formidable. It was precisely because he knew clearly that the Queen's Slave Lasso could not affect him that he did not take any precautions, even with the information he had from his previous life.

The Super Queen was placed on the ground, and then Carl took off his slave lasso and used it to tie the Super Queen up in circles, making her look a bit like a caterpillar.

Carl didn't kill her yet. Although the current Queen Super was barely breathing, she was still alive and probably wouldn't die from her demigod status.

Super Queen corresponds to Wonder Woman in the main universe. If they have similar origins, Super Queen should also be a princess of Themyscira. As a prisoner of war, she should be able to get a lot of ransom from Themyscira, such as this Lasso of Nushun, which Carl is very interested in controlling.

Carl took the Super Queen back to his residence, which was the tallest building in the metropolis, with a particularly conspicuous U-shaped sign on the top, silently announcing who the owner of this place was.

To be honest, Carl didn't really like this decorating style; it was too flashy. But if he wanted to intimidate everyone, he couldn't afford to be anything less.

Now this U-shaped symbol has another purpose. Carl used it as a support to hang the Queen, who was in a deep coma, on it, just like hanging a piece of cured meat that needed to be dried.

Such a peculiar phenomenon would naturally spread like wildfire, and perhaps some people would secretly gossip about him, but it didn't matter. He didn't care about other people's opinions, as long as the news reached Paradise Island.

His own country's princess was treated as a war trophy and humiliatingly hung outside the city walls. Presumably, they would soon send someone to negotiate. He just needed to wait.

Carl ignored the Queen and returned to his residence. He comfortably leaned back on the sofa and opened the chat group. Today was the day the rotating pool refreshed, and Carl was quite looking forward to it.

At this moment, no one was absent from the chat group; everyone was waiting.

[The Doctor Who Doesn't Slack Off]: It's that time of the month again for the in-game store. I'm really looking forward to seeing what new items will be available this time.

[Superman]: Doctor, you're really in high spirits.

[It's a Qilin, not a Coconut Sheep]: After all, items from other worlds are indeed very intriguing, and the skeleton from last time probably played a big role with the doctor.

Carl had been wondering who bought the skeleton; it turns out it was the doctor.

[The Doctor Who Doesn't Slack Off]: When I bought it, I thought it was some kind of fantasy bone, but it turned out to be a large humanoid metal skeleton. Fortunately, the material is indeed very helpful to me. The dead head didn't even remind me.

[Dead Man's Head]: If you agree to come to my world and let me take a bite, Uncle Deadpool will definitely remind you. Not only that, I will also explain all the characteristics to you in detail. How about it? Want to give it a try?

[The doctor who doesn't slack off]: Then let's forget about it.

[Time Spirit]: The pool has refreshed, and this time there's something rather unorthodox in it.

Just then, Kurumi Tokisaki came out to remind everyone, and they all stopped chatting and opened the shop interface to check the items that had appeared this time.

Love Elixir 800 points

Mark I armored vehicle 500 points

Glory Messenger Robot 1800 points

8,000 Mora 80 points

Airships 2500 points

Batman's belt: 1200 points

[It's a Qilin, not a Coconut Sheep]: There are six types. As expected, items from the Superman world have also been added to the rotation pool.

Karl carefully examined the items. He recognized most of them before he transmigrated, and the only unfamiliar one, the Glorious Envoy, was one he had seen many times before.

But the other group members didn't recognize him.

[It's a Qilin, not a Coconut Sheep]: So, as is customary, let's all introduce the things from our own worlds. First up is the Elixir of Love, which should be something from your world, Doctor.

Gan Yu then organized everyone to begin the introduction.

The first item was quite embarrassing; the doctor hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

[The Doctor Who Doesn't Slack Off]: Okay, okay, it's just what you guessed. This is the legendary drug that makes others fall in love with you. But I still advise you not to buy it. False love will never end well.

Chapter 42 Goods in the Rotation Pool

[Time Spirit]: Hehe, this is really an interesting thing, but I'm confident in my charm, so I really don't need it.

[Dead Man's Head]: Isn't this just an aphrodisiac? I'd like to try it out to add some spice, since not everyone can discover my beautiful soul. But I don't have any beauties here anymore, so I'll pass.

[Time Spirit]: Isn't the point that you no longer have a body? Why are you still thinking about this kind of thing?

The group members were somewhat curious about this item, but that was all they did; none of them had any intention of buying it. Carl, on the other hand, was assessing its value.

The Elixir of Love might be useful for Queen Super, to bring her to our side. As a demigod, her combat power is quite good. If Carl hadn't used a sneak attack-like tactic, it would have taken some effort to subdue her.

So whether or not to do it, Carl thought for a while and then sent a message in the group.

[Superman]: The doctor is right. False love will not end well. Forcing yourself to pursue what you can't have is just deceiving yourself in the end. Let's look at something else.

After thinking it over, Carl decided against it. Super Queen was a demigod with exceptionally high magic resistance, and the Love Elixir might lose its effect at any time. Then, this girl would definitely backstab him, which would only make things more troublesome.

Besides, even if the Love Elixir continues to work, Carl still doesn't trust Queen Super. Her values ​​are different from normal people, and who knows what she might do? They're not particularly short of fighting power right now, so there's no need to tolerate this unstable factor.

The only thing that interested Carl in the Super Queen was her slave lasso. In Carl's eyes, the value of this thing far exceeded that of the Super Queen herself. If Paradise Island could agree to exchange for it, that would be the best outcome.

[It's a Qilin, not a Coconut Sheep]: Hmm, so which world does the next item come from? Please introduce it.

The second item was the Mark I armor. Carl knew that this was one of the armors made by Iron Man, and the Mark I could be described as an antique.

[Dead Head]: It's from Minecraft. There's not much to say. Just look at the points and you'll know it's not a good thing. It's just a half-finished armor. I think my bodysuit is worth more than this thing.

The rotating pool doesn't always refresh with good items; they're not included in the pool because of their price, but because they're rich in the characteristics of the world they're in.

[The Doctor Who Doesn't Slack Off]: It's really hard to guarantee the quality of armor with 500 points. Let's move on to the next one. Which one is it?

[Spider]: Mine.

Spider hadn't posted anything before, but she had been spying on the chat. After meeting Karl and the others, she suddenly felt a real connection to the chat group. Although it was much better than being face-to-face, she still tried to avoid speaking if possible.

Carl knew the characteristics of spiders, so he explained it to her.

[Superman]: This is a robot created by the Elf King. Judging from its combat power alone, it is very average. The reason it can be sold for 1800 is probably because it has an outer shell armor with extremely high magic resistance.

[Doctor]: Metal that can resist magic, this is very useful, but it's a bit too expensive. I don't have enough points left after buying Wolverine's skeleton last time.

The doctor was quite puzzled. He was also facing a crisis, and something that could resist magic was indeed very useful. However, just as he was worrying about whether to put down his work and squeeze out time to do a mission, Karl sent a message.

[Superman]: It's okay. I already learned this technique when I helped Kurumi modify her anti-magic barrier. I'll organize it and share it in the group later, so I won't have to spend points.

[The Doctor Who Doesn't Slack Off]: Oh, that's wonderful! Thank you, Superman.

[Superman]: You're welcome.

Next up is Mora from Ganyu World. Karl's actions inspired Ganyu, and he also indicated that there was no need for group members to spend points to buy it.

[It's a Qilin, not a Coconut Sheep]: Mora is our currency here, and it can also be used as a medium for alchemy. 8000 Mora isn't much; in places with high prices, it's only enough for one day's consumption. If you're interested, I can give you some.

Gan Yu paid for the shipping himself and gave each of the group members 10,000 Mora. The shipping fee in the group is very cheap. If it is not a particularly valuable item, only a little bit of points will be charged. If it is an item with a value of more than 1000 in the rotation pool, then 1% of the total value of the item will be charged as points.

Karl naturally received it as well. The Mora looked a bit like a gold coin, but with a brighter luster and a more beautiful design. It also carried a trace of the power from the Rock God, but it was so little that it was only used as a medium when it was used.

Carl piled the Mora together and placed it in a corner of the display case as decoration; it looked quite nice, all glittering in gold.

The discussion in the group is still going on, and now Kurumi Tokisaki is introducing the airships.

【Time Spirit】: This is a strategic weapon, similar in status to an aircraft carrier, but it flies in the sky. It's not very useful for individuals, since it requires a lot of crew to operate. I, for one, have no interest in it.

Airships are impressive, but the group members seem uninterested in them.

Leaving aside the dead bodies, he's only interested in eating meat now. Gan Yu explained that they live in a peaceful era and don't need warships, plus they'd be difficult to manage if they bought them. The doctor wasn't interested for the same reason—they're too big, and just storing them would require a lot of effort.

Spider-Man and Goddess Sally are together, so they don't need this thing. Karl, on the other hand, thinks that airships are too weak and have a hard time even going into space.

【Coconut Sheep Who Doesn't Slack Off】: So the last one must be something from the Superman world, right? It's so expensive, this belt must have something special about it, right?

[Superman]: Indeed, it's more like a treasure chest than a belt. Batman can always pull out the right gadgets from it to fight the enemy. I've always been curious about what's inside.

Carl expressed interest in the Batman belt.

This is when the good relationships Carl had built up over time came into play.

[Time Spirit]: Since you're interested, I won't participate.

[The doctor who doesn't slack off]: +1

[It's a Qilin, not a Coconut Sheep]: +1

[Spider]: +1

After expressing his gratitude, Carl used his points to buy Batman's belt. The belt wasn't large, but it contained a lot of items. These were gadgets that Batman had prepared to deal with various situations. Carl bought the belt specifically for these items. The fact that it could be sold for 1200 points meant that there must be some very valuable items inside, one of which might be something Carl desperately needed.

Karl walked to the table and shook out the items from his belt one by one.
