Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

At first glance, the talent of sensitive reaction seems to be very strong. The human body's reaction ability close to the speed of sound is simply abnormal. In this world, with this level of reaction ability, dodging bullets is basically like playing.

But its flaws are equally big, or even bigger, because there is a description in its introduction that "the longer it lasts, the more energy it consumes."

Just think about it and you will know that if a person can temporarily obtain a reaction speed that far exceeds the limit of the human body, the energy required is absolutely huge beyond imagination. I am afraid that even if a person is squeezed dry, he may not be able to last two or three seconds.

You know, the gap between reaction speed and action speed is huge.

If they are both at the sonic level, the former only allows a person to react to the outside world in time, but it does not mean that he can really make sonic actions.

The latter is actually able to move at the speed of sound.

Looking at it this way, the talent of sensitive reaction seems to be of little use.

Looking at its price of 2,000 yuan, I am afraid it will be labeled as not cost-effective.

After all, the price of two thousand exclamation points was out of reach for Dean before today.

Even now, this talent would cost him nearly half of his savings, so it was not cheap at all.

Even so, after a series of thoughts, Dean still resolutely redeemed this talent.

There is no other reason. The gift of sensitive reactions is currently the only way that Dean can be equal to or close to superheroes and super villains in the future.

Dean knows very well that now is a world full of superpowers. News of the discovery of new superpowers comes out almost every day from all over the world, even though most of them are not powerful.

Even in Gotham City, which has the fewest superpowers, there are still existences like Killer Croc, Solomon Grundy, Poison Ivy, Man-Bat...

What's more, Dean can't stay in Gotham forever. If he can't react to those powerful beings in the future, what's the difference between him and himself throwing himself into a trap?

There is no need for superpowers. Take this incident as an example. If Firefly was not ambushing there alone and more than forty killers under Penguin were also there, Dean would not have been able to react to the forty gunfire. When the time comes, I won’t be able to hide even if I want to.

This group of people is not as restrained by Gordon as the GCPD. They dare to kill people on the street even in wealthy areas. Dean's usual tactics of blending in with the crowd are of no use to them.

Fortunately, Firefly didn't know which of the tendons was wrong, so she had to listen to the wailing of Kaitou Kidd under the burning fire alone, and the Penguin's men were not allowed to get in the way.

Otherwise, it would never be so easy for Dean to escape.

Some people may think that Batman is also an incompetent person, can't he still kill gods and demons in seconds?

Regarding this, Dean hasn't read many comics and is not sure whether Batman is really that invincible.

If you just look at it purely from the perspective of his local people, Batman is very powerful, but not invincible, not even in Gotham.

Moreover, among the many public operations of the Justice League, Batman has never been the main combatant in one of them. He is more like a commander or counselor in the League.

To put it another way, even if Batman could really react to the movements of those super-fast people, or even challenge the Justice League by himself, that would still be his protagonist's aura and plot needs.

In this regard, Dean still knows how much he weighs. His current reaction speed of 0.15 seconds is actually quite fast. There are few normal humans in the world who can match his.

Even so, Dean still had to concentrate to have a chance to dodge a pistol bullet, and only one.

Dean knew that he was not the protagonist and did not have any halo around him. If he did not strengthen his reaction ability, he might be killed in front of someone without even knowing when he made a move.

In fact, there are far better redemption items in the system mall than the 'Sensitive Reaction' talent, but items that can achieve similar effects are either too expensive or not as practical as this talent.

Dean doesn't have to trade half his life for those few seconds of reaction ability that are close to the speed of sound, as long as he can react a little faster than others.

This also allows Dean to perform far more advanced magic skills than before.

To sum up, Dean believes that "sensitive response" is the most suitable exchange item for him at this stage.

After completing the exchange, Dean was ready to have a good sleep.

He lay on the bed, maintaining the same position as the previous dummy.

Just as he was about to turn off the surveillance jammer, Dean suddenly discovered that the burn mark on his right wrist caused by the fireflies had mostly healed.

Of course there was a reason why the degree of burn was very small, but the bigger factor should be the contribution of his first talent.

That is, resistant skin (low level).

In short, Dean's main idea for using the system exchange now is to save his life, either to be able to defend against those city-destroying AOEs, or to react in time to dodge super-high-speed raids.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a prop or a talent, as long as the effect is the same.

As for the rest, Dean didn't think about it that much for the time being, and he couldn't think about it at all.

Meanwhile, Gotham, the Diamond District.

Iceberg Casino.

O'Kilwe was sitting in the office, with a gleam in his eyes, wondering what he was thinking about.

At this time, a sneaky man opened the door and walked in.

"Have you dealt with Lark and Graytard?"

O'Kilwe asked in a calm tone, but the words he spoke were nothing short of a thunderbolt.

After the "Pink Dream" incident, Graytard and Luck were imprisoned by the GCPD for allegedly leading the underground money laundering transaction chain and are currently under investigation.

Although the current evidence is not enough to guarantee a 100% successful prosecution, the GCPD's investigation has become more in-depth during this period and has found a lot of strong evidence. It can be said that it is only a matter of time before Graytard and Luck are imprisoned.

However, the clues that the police investigated could only be traced to these two people in the end, but could not go deep into the Penguin, because these clues were originally revealed by the Penguin in order to abandon the car and save the handsome man.

Logically speaking, this matter is basically over and there won't be any trouble.

Lark and Graytard are both old men who have followed the Penguin for many years. They know what to say and what not to say, and the Penguin is not ready to kill them.

From what O'Kilwe said, it seemed like he wanted to kill Luck and Graytard, the two elders of the Penguin Gang?

(Although the ability to respond quickly is considered a superpower, I think it is very necessary for the protagonist, because many subsequent characters can move at supersonic speeds or even sublight speeds, so the protagonist will not be able to keep up. , at least you have to react, otherwise people won't notice it when they rush into your face. Just like Deathstroke's battle method against Wally, through super reaction and prediction, he can defeat the opponent even if he can't keep up with his speed. , even if the protagonist does not redeem this talent, I will definitely still write in this direction. There is no reasonable explanation for not redeeming it. Otherwise, wouldn’t redeeming a prop that forcibly prohibits the opponent from using super powers would be more cheating and more magical? At least in this game. It seems like this to me)
