Miss Serena's daily rent collection in American comics

[The mission function is damaged, but it can still function. The reward system is not affected. The protection function is partially affected and can only work on the property itself. The crossing function seems to be normal, but we are not sure where it can cross to. The backpack function is completely lost. As compensation, we can give you a pocket universe. ]

The words of the polyglots left Serena in silence. After a long while, she slowly spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, your goal should be external expansion."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Polyhedron responded impatiently.

[That’s right! ! ! ! ! ! ]

Looking at those six long exclamation marks, the corners of Selena's mouth gradually curled up.

"Then... it's been a pleasure working with you."

(PS: Tickets! He started jumping around like a fox.)

Chapter 5 About the matter of me collecting rent from polyamorists

Serena was too lazy to say anything more about the Ancients' behavior of dismantling her system. After all, it had already happened, and arguing would not restore her system. It would be better to use this as a threat to get more out of them.

"Choose Demon Scale."

Therefore, after making sure that the other party could not interfere with the reward system, Serena no longer had those worries and directly selected the most cost-effective thing for her at the moment on the panel. As for how she was sure that the ancients could not do anything with this thing...it was actually very simple. She asked the other party to modify the selection limit in the background. As a result, the tentacle monsters fiddled with it for a long time, not only did they fail to increase her selection number, but the reward system crashed and restarted, resulting in one less selection number when backtracking!

[If you really want the power of the devil, we have millions of followers for you to choose from. You don't need to use this... inferior, simple, cheap, defective product. ]

A burning sensation suddenly appeared and began to spread through Serena's internal organs. Her breathing became a little faster, and she finally managed to get through the stinging pain that felt like a branding iron surging in her blood vessels. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw scarlet words floating in front of her, complaining crazily.

"It is precisely because it is not a true demon bloodline that I chose it. After all, if I really turned into that kind of thing, I'm afraid a bunch of demon hunters and mages would come to my door and chop me up right away."

Serena sat on the bed and took a few deep breaths, and immediately found that her body seemed to have changed. Some kind of obsidian scales with a slightly horny texture covered her arms. The nails on the front of her five fingers, which were not very long, were transformed into some kind of sharp blades with barbs.

Walking to the mirror, Serena found two black horns that looked even a little miniature on her head, and her platinum-colored hair turned into silky silver. Her eyes turned into reptilian-like golden vertical pupils, and her sclera was pitch black. There was no essential difference from the Korean-style demons depicted in those online game CGs before she crossed over. Especially her breasts that were estimated to be three cup sizes larger, and her plump buttocks that were surprisingly peach-shaped. It was hard not to suspect that the chest tightness she felt before was actually because her clothes had become smaller...

"This feeling... doesn't seem to be what it describes, a simple increase in defense."

Selina's eyes were fixed on a mosquito that had just flown in from the window. Its wings were twitching up and down, creating a vortex in the air that was enough to support its body floating... This scene that should not be seen by humans was clearly visible to her.

[It's really interesting. Although those changes are more decorative than practical, your physical quality has increased more than 20 times in just a few seconds. And this improvement is all-round. You will soon find that the world around you is different. ]

The words of the polyglots stunned Selina for a moment, but soon a smile appeared on her face.

"I see. Improving my basic defense by 20% actually means strengthening my physical fitness by times in all aspects, rather than simply increasing my defense? I thought it would be more digital, but who knew it would actually tell me the truth about this matter..."

Standing in the middle of the room, Serena felt the power surging in her body, and became eager to try. Driven by the impulse, she threw a punch. But the piercing scream and the exploding white air wave made her sober up the moment after she threw the punch.

"What is this? Supersonic punch? Did I run into the set of Baki next door..."

Looking at the nightgown that was torn apart by the sonic boom and the mess in the bedroom, Selina's eyes twitched upwards unnaturally. She didn't really use much force in that punch just now, but just punched according to her usual habits in free fighting training. Unexpectedly, the same punch produced completely different effects on the now inhuman body.

[This punch is the product of twenty years of hard work. Have you ever seen a Mach 3 punch? ]

"Don't agree with this kind of thing!"

Interrupting the Polyhedron who was trying to continue his madness, Selina always felt that the other party seemed to have learned something strange during the time they had been in contact with her.

"But speaking of which, where is the pocket universe you prepared for me?"

After confirming that there were no other changes in her body besides those seen so far, Selena turned her attention to the compensation that had been agreed upon previously.

[Call upon the name of 'Umr at-Tawil, and it will come here.]

Hearing this, Selina raised her eyebrows slightly. The scarlet text had a sound when seen, but the sound was transmitted in the form of being seen by others, which was very strange.

"That incarnation of Bubbles? The Ancient Immortal?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was the turn of the polyglots to be stunned.

[You...why do you always know about things outside these fields? Our influence should not have spread in this multiverse. Where did you get the information about us? ]

"Let me think... Lovecraft? Or... Lovecraft?"

Hearing this, Serena tilted her head. However, she ignored it and just called out the other person's name.

"Yog-Sothoth..."

The moment she said the real name, Selina felt something suddenly rushing into her room. The New York City, with thousands of lights outside the window, became pitch black in an instant. Only her building was not affected at all. It might be because of the protective function that was working, or it might be some other reason. Until she felt something suddenly appear in her hand, the dark world outside the window also returned to normal.

"Silver Spoon..."

When Selena saw the scepter in her hand, which was more than one meter long, with a sphere on the top imprisoned in the air by an invisible force, pitch black in color, and had a very strange sense of wriggling, its name immediately emerged in her mind.

[Why are you calling... Never mind, it's already here. But please remember that in addition to storing things, it can also emit extremely powerful cosmic rays. As a channel connected to the door, you'd better not use it on the surface of the planet. Because its destructive power far exceeds the limit of the starry sky under your feet. ]

The words from the polyhedrons immediately made Serena give up the idea of ​​trying this thing. After all, all she wanted was a portable space. However, the size of this scepter was not related to the word "portable".

"So can I use it to hit people? If not, then its use is limited to me holding it in my hand to cosplay as a mage."

In response to Selina's question, the scarlet characters remained silent for a long time before two words slowly emerged.

【Can......】

Then it added.

[But don't use too much force. You can't achieve miracles by using too much force.]

Chapter 6 The secret of collecting rent is

"So why can't we use force? And is the force you're talking about the same as the force I understand?"

Well, Selena is just very curious.

[It was once a part of our body. If you use too much force...it will hurt.]

Well, this statement is indeed impossible to refuse.

"Huh... that sounds really weird. Could this sticky feeling be the sweat on your body? So, how often do you take a shower? Or do you never take a shower? Wait, I just realized it's already 11 o'clock at night. Doesn't that mean I can't complete the task of being the first tenant today? Otherwise... didn't you say this thing is a part of your body? You can send me a clone or something like that, and I'll make it a tenant, so that I can complete the so-called main task?"

The polyglots were confused by Selina's series of questions. After a long time, they used the scarlet characters to type six dots.

"This is really troublesome. I have to go out and catch a tenant to come in, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight..."

Before Selina could finish her words, she was startled by the sudden sound of an AI calling itself a housing manager next to her ear.

'You have a new guest entering the lobby, do you want to check them in?'

"What did you do?"

After being stunned for two seconds, Selena directly pointed the finger at the Polyhedron.

[I'm afraid this is just an accident, because we were just discussing who to invite over. ]

Seeing that the sudden visitor was not the other party's work, Selena immediately developed a very strong interest in the intruder who entered her property at a blocked point.

"Just let him move in! No matter who comes today, don't even think about leaving."

She grabbed a fur coat from the hanger beside her and casually put it on herself, then changed into a pair of hot pants that she had forgotten to wash and were thrown by the bed. With a silver spoon in one hand and a lady's cigarette in the other, Serena entered the elevator carelessly and went directly down to the lobby on the first floor.

"Although I already have the answer in my mind, I still want to take a gamble."

She said this to her own amusement, holding a cigarette in her mouth.

"I bet he or she is a police officer... Shit!"

The moment the elevator door opened, Serena saw the person coming from the lobby and was so scared that she swore. If she hadn't been quick, the cigarette in her mouth might have fallen to the ground.

"What do you want to do?"

Selina crushed the batarang between her two fingers, and looked at the embarrassed figure in the lobby, who was wearing black armor and even had a half-broken mask. She felt bad because the person who came was Bruce Wayne, a DC comic character who should not appear in Hell's Kitchen.

【You lose.】

"Don't be ridiculous. Gotham vigilantes are still considered police officers, so I win."

Holding the Silver Key, Selina walked arrogantly past the vigilant Batman, then sat in the front desk and turned on the all-in-one computer in front of her.

"Just one person? How long will you stay? Do you want a single room or a presidential suite? Do you want me to go to Night City next door to call a trauma team for you? As long as you have the money, I will immediately activate a platinum membership for you. Then, even if you lose a hair, we can call a trauma team."

Facing Selina's verbal attack, Batman's expression not only did not ease at all, but became even more as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"What should I fill in the name column? Bruce Wayne? Or Batman? I heard that you superheroes all have a secret identity, so do you want me to make up a pseudonym for you? Like Tony Stark or something like that?"

The moment she called out the master's real name, Selena clearly felt the other person's face twitch, but it returned to normal in an instant.

"you know me?"

Then he asked in that hoarse, low, and very DC Daddy voice.

"Your mask is half broken. Even the new members of the Teen Titans will recognize you at a glance. By the way, a friendly reminder, your pancreas is bleeding, your liver is almost scrapped, and your adrenaline level is completely over the threshold. If this continues, you will be buried in the same pit with your parents in Gotham Cemetery in fifteen minutes at most. So, your time is very limited, understand?"

Selina read the scan information exactly as given by the housing manager, completely ignoring Batman's face which turned from blue to black, and instead gave him a very friendly reminder.

"Where is this? I was supposed to be in the Batcave, but I went through a door and ended up here."

Batman was breathing heavily, and it was obvious that everything was just as the devil's daughter said, and he was about to die.

"You ask me? How should I know? I'm not Metron, sitting in a chair and controlling everything all day. It's 11:27 pm New York time, and I was about to go to bed, but you suddenly appeared in my hotel. This is not a place like the House of Mystery, and we are not from the same universe at all. In other words... you traveled through time."

Selina's words made Batman stunned for a moment, as if his brain could not process so much information at once.

"Damn...why did this happen? Tim, Dick, Alfu..."

Batman, who was unconvinced, clicked the Batcomputer on his arm a few times, but failed to receive any communication messages from the Watchtower or the Justice League. He murmured in disbelief.

"So you survived those two zombie kids? That's really interesting. I thought you in all timelines would end up being bitten to death by Nightwing."

After hearing Bruce's low murmur, Selina instantly realized which universe he came from. The famous hero Deathstroke is almost the only one in all DC comics of the same period who is not a slouch.

"What?! You knew? You actually knew this!"

But it was a very common thing for her, but it frightened Batman. He felt as if he suddenly realized something, and he might have encountered some kind of existence similar to a troublemaker...

"Don't get too excited. The problem now is with you... By the way, let me tell you a joke. Darkseid was also infected by that thing. When he used Cyborg to spread the virus to the earth, he obviously didn't expect that he would also be infected by that thing. But since you are here, it means that you and I are destined to be together."

"I can make a deal with you. You bring me the Anti-Life Equation. In return, I will give you a brand new universe to use as your new home. Since your universe is already hopeless, you can have fun in the new world as you wish."

(PS: I want votes! Not only do I need votes for the new book, I also want a free collection!)

Chapter 7: Collecting Rent Across the Universe

After hearing this, Batman was stunned for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"So...Darkseid did all this?"
