American comics: Random transformations.

The place where he "worked" was a black car shop located in a remote location east of Gotham Port.

Because of its remote location, this black car shop is quite large and has its own open-air parking lot.

This shop uses real materials (it’s a black shop that makes use of other people’s car parts and sells them).

The price is fair (the tires are stolen, so there is no need to pay to purchase them, and you make a profit if you sell them).

The boss is also very caring and provides jobs for orphans (don't worry, they are all "professional" tool workers recruited by the car shop, and they learned the skills of dismantling and unloading cars here. To put it bluntly, they teach you how to steal a car quickly and then bring it to this store to sell it).

Gotham is a lousy place full of malice towards everyone.

For a twelve-year-old kid like Tian Xiaoban, the only option he has to do is to work in a black shop, besides being a pickpocket to make a living (and he's basically still a thief, except that the things he steals are bigger).

Here, children aged 11 or 12 are generally not tall, so it is easier for them to hide among vehicles.

Moreover, when they run away, they are more flexible than adult gangsters and can escape more easily when discovered.

The rich people would find it troublesome and would be too lazy to bother these kids (after all, even if they caught them, they wouldn't have the money to compensate for the car).

(The boss’s original words: Stupid, don’t steal the cars of poor people, they are not worth much, if you want to steal, steal those luxury cars! Even if you steal a part of those cars, it is more valuable than stealing the whole car of a poor person! Today I will teach you how to recognize license plates......)

The most important thing is that for these black shops in Gotham Port, the price of hiring these children is much cheaper than that of hiring gangsters!

As long as they are provided with two meals and a small salary, these clever little ones can be made to work hard.

These orphans are the favorite cash cows of the unscrupulous bosses.

As for Tian Xiaoban, he is considered to be doing relatively well in the class.

The soul of an adult enables him to understand the current car structure more easily.

He understands things quickly, so he can naturally dismantle things quickly. His skills in dismantling cars are the best among this group of workers!

(The transformation power that Omnitrix brings to Tian Xiaoban is too random. Before Tian Xiaoban solves his personal combat power problem, he still needs to learn some survival skills.)

What's that classic quote? -- Serious voice: Just grow up slowly, don't waste time!

At least before Tian Xiaoban became an adult, this sentence was very useful to him!

Interestingly, the kid who worked with Tian Xiaoban was called Jason Todd.

Yes, that is the second generation Robin who will die in the future, the future anti-hero Red Hood!

Tian Xiaoban often lamented that Gotham was so small that he actually met this guy!

-----

Jason Todd likes to wear red sweatshirts and ragged jeans. He modified his belt himself so that it can store a lot of tools for dismantling cars.

Moreover, Jason's strength is comparable to that of an adult man. He can easily unscrew the screws of the wheel and do the work of two people.

He is a bit stubborn (refused to admit defeat), has a bad temper, and is three years older than Tian Xiaoban!

The reason they knew each other was because Tian Xiaoban saw Jason Todd fighting alone against two strong men who wanted to rob him of his money.

Tian Xiaoban offered help and attacked the two thugs' testicles with stones from the roadside. His memory of throwing stones in his previous life enabled him to hit the target every time he threw stones now.

The two thugs ran away screaming, holding their balls!

Jason Todd felt that Tian Xiaoban was a promising talent, so he tried his best to recruit him as his younger brother.

I competed with him to see who could dismantle the car faster. I competed with him in speed and strength, and it was like we were lifelong enemies.

But unfortunately, Tian Xiaoban would not agree to those unreasonable demands and continued to do as he pleased.

However, after spending a long time together, the two became brothers.

…………

"Hey, bro, come have lunch. We have fried chicken sandwiches today! I bet the sloppy boss must have won a lot of money in gambling yesterday!"

When Jason Todd saw Tian Xiaoban coming over, he shook the sandwich in his hand.

Tian Xiaoban's eyes lit up, Wow! This is really a rare food, much better than the tasteless baguette!

"Jason, you're here so early today? That sloppy vampire boss won't pay you for getting up early! Bring me one!"

Jason threw the unopened fried chicken sandwich next to him over.

Tian Xiaoban caught it quickly, almost dropping it on the ground! He naturally opened the package and took a big bite.

"Eat quickly, bro, there's work to do soon! It's a big order!"

Jason Todd excitedly turned his cross wrench with his fingers, and his five fingers flexibly made the cross wrench leave an afterimage.

"You have a target?" Tian Xiaoban looked surprised.

Big order! How could a luxury car come to this shabby place?

"Today, there is a new Rolls-Royce in the parking lot behind the Keshia Bar. I have seen it and the tires are easy to remove. Give me five minutes, no, three minutes, and I can remove one!"

"Whose car is it?"

"He must be from some gang. Why are you asking? We only remove tires from cars, not people! Anyway, as long as we know that the man is not poor, that's enough!"

"That makes sense. Okay Jason, I'll be the watchdog. You have to be quick!"

…………

The parking lot of Keshia Bar.

Tian Xiaoban, who was watching the situation, saw the person coming and quickly said to Jason:

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, someone is coming! Someone is coming, can you do it? The cleaning lady's hands are faster than yours!"

“Right away, right away, Ben, don’t rush me! …OK! Gogogo!”

Jason quickly removed the nuts on the tire, then twisted it hard and the wheel was in his hands.

The left front tire and right rear tire of the entire car have been removed by Jason. It's a pity that someone came, otherwise he would have removed all four tires!

With the help of Tian Xiaoban, the two of them each took a tire and quickly fled the scene!

The manager who was patrolling the parking lot saw it and immediately chased after them! And it wasn't just them, the gangsters who heard the noise also ran out.

"Oh! Damn it! Don't run!"

"Little devils! Stop!"

Two gangsters, who were obviously gang members, ran as fast as they could to chase Tian Xiaoban and Jason.

"What idiot would be so stupid as to stop when he hears 'stop'?"

Tian Xiaoban, who was escaping, did not forget to complain about the two thugs.

After passing through several alleys, he turned to Jason and said, "Follow me, I know a way that will definitely help us get rid of them!"

Jason was a little out of breath from running: "Hoo-hoo, lead the way!"

The direction of the two men's advance suddenly changed, and they ran into an alley with an iron gate in the middle.

Because the gap in the iron gate was too large, Tian Xiaoban and Jason could easily squeeze through with the tire!

The people who were chasing behind were in a miserable situation. They couldn't get through the gap in the door created by the iron chain and could only watch the two little ghosts run away.

Chapter 5 Tragedy

After leaving the sight of that group of people, Jason also relaxed. The only thing that didn't relax was the corners of his mouth that kept rising.

Twenty meters behind the iron gate is an abandoned factory. The concrete floor of the factory is almost cracked and there is no flat surface at all.

One-meter-high weeds grew in the cracks of the cement, and the factory wall was dilapidated, with peeling paint and exposed bricks. Several bricks of the wall were missing, leaving only a lonely stone pillar.

"Go in that direction, through the weeds and the wall, you will reach a small forest, and through the forest you will reach Gotham Port."

Jason asked in surprise, "Wow, great job, Ben! How did you know this road?"

Tian Xiaoban would never tell Jason that when he transformed into Garurumon, he ran all over Gotham's industrial areas and ports, and he had mastered the map of this area.

"I passed by here before and explored all the roads here. It's a good escape route!"

Jason nodded as if he understood. He was not stupid. Looking at the lush weeds around him, which showed no signs of being broken or trampled, he was sure that no one had been to this shabby place for a long time.

Moreover, as they walked along, the two of them broke a lot of weeds, but Jason did not see any signs of anyone else walking there except them.

What is Tian Xiaoban doing here?

Although Jason was curious, he didn't insist on finding out the reason, so he changed the subject.

"Haha, if we sell these two tires to that vampire, we'll get at least five or six hundred dollars, which will give us enough bread for the next week!"

"Yes!" Tian Xiaoban nodded in agreement with a smile on his face. He would be full soon.

After he exchanges the tire for money, Tian Xiaoban will go out for another big meal!

The little brat is eating his father out of house and house. Tian Xiaoban is in the growing period now, so he has a good appetite and eats a lot.

It may also be due to the Omnitrix. Tian Xiaoban's own DNA is being optimized and regulated imperceptibly, which makes his own biological energy consumed very quickly, making him particularly prone to hunger! He needs a lot of food to complete the optimization of his own genes!

Basically two-thirds of the money he earned in the past few months was spent on bread, and the rest was used to pay rent.

Jason suggested, "Hey bro, how about we go shopping together tonight? See if there are any big orders. I remember you just rented a house, so you must be short of money."

Jason was obviously a little bit proud of himself. He thought that he could repeat today's achievement and wanted to find another luxury car to buy.

Tian Xiaoban waved his hand and interrupted, "No, Jason. I still need to buy some food. You know, I need to fill my stomach first, and then I plan to go to bed early after eating!"

Jason nodded. He knew very well what a good appetite this brother had. Although Tian Xiaoban looked skinny, he had a really good appetite!

Once they made a bet to see who could eat more bread, and Jason watched with his own eyes as Tian Xiaoban devoured a week’s worth of his food rations!

"Okay! I'll find you next time."

The two men passed through the dense woods and arrived at the familiar Gotham port.

Back at the familiar place, Jason Todd disappeared like a husky that had been let go.

When Tian Xiaoban arrived at the black shop, Jason had already exchanged the tires for money and was counting the money with great interest.

The boss looked at the person who came and saw that it was Tian Xiaoban who was carrying a tire. He laughed and said:

"Oh! You two are amazing. Ben and Jason, you always surprise me! The price is the same, three hundred dollars! Hahaha!"

Tian Xiaoban had heard too much meaningless praise like this. Every time he came back from stealing something, his boss would say the same thing.

The happier the boss smiled, the more money Tian Xiaoban knew that he would cheat them out of it!
