Nobody can stop me from drawing cards in Gotham!

Chapter 102 I'm Going to Kick Your Ass Hard

When Jaeger returned to the banquet hall, the mayor's secretary had already been arrested by the police.

Judging from the surrounding guests' discussions, it seemed that before the secretary was arrested, she was still in a fit of impotent rage—"Where did my perfect plan go wrong?" and "Where did you get your evidence?"

It seems this criminal's methods are not quite suited to Gotham City.

After all, with the money to hire Catwoman, it would be better to hire a desperate criminal from Crime Alley, the kind who takes the money and goes down with the politician. That way, you could probably hide the fact that you hired someone to kill someone...

However, it's fortunate that the other party didn't do that—otherwise, things wouldn't be as easy to handle as they are now.

Thinking of this, Jaeger, taking a moment from his busy schedule, grabbed a plate of chocolate-filled Basque cake from the table to enjoy, lest Bruce's sincere feelings end up warming the poisonous fog...

He looked up and stared at the empty card table in front of him.

Shortly after Jaeger returned to the banquet hall, the previous two event cards were settled, and he took the opportunity to check them.

First, there's the Interesting Event card.

[Whose Cat Is This? - Goal Achieved!]

[Description: Although the process was complicated, at least you found the cat's owner, congratulations! ...Whether the cat's owner wants to see you again is another matter.]

[Settlement Reward: Random Item Brand x1]

A golden card, with a face nine-tenths similar to the previous random equipment cards and featuring a question mark, appeared as it spun and landed on the card table.

However, although the cards look similar, there are still some differences between the two.

[Random Equipment Cards] As the name suggests, the cards you draw will always contain equipment that has a certain function and can be carried.

If I had to put it in perspective... toilet paper is actually a functional and portable piece of equipment.

However, there is a difference between the brands of "items" and "equipment". The scope of "items" is much broader than that of "equipment"... and they may not even have functions.

But there's nothing we can do about it; that's just how it is with complete randomness.

Unless it's like the skill hit rate in some gacha games or turn-based battle games, and involves some kind of pseudo-randomness...

Otherwise, random cards are something whose upper limit can be very high and whose lower limit can be very low.

So Jaeger decided... to leave it for now and draw it later.

He looked at the results of the next card.

[Assassination at the Banquet - Objective Achieved]

[Description: Oh my god, the player actually found the method of the case so quickly. For God's sake, how did he do it?]

Damn it, so you were living off a snake! Come here, player, you bastard! I'm not only going to curse you, I'm going to kick your ass hard!

[Reward: Skill Card "I'm Going to Kick Your Ass Hard"]

Jaeger: "...?"

Is that right, at the card table?

With a complex mix of emotions, he examined the strangely named gift skill card.

This is a silver card, and the card depicts a small black figure making a kicking motion:

Skill Cards

[I'm going to take the initiative—I'm going to kick your ass pretty hard!]

[Description: Forces a specified target object to kick another present, specified object in the rear.]

[Note: What is this? A butt? Kick it! What is this? A butt? Kick it!]

Jaeger: "..."

What kind of skill effect is this?!

Thinking about it carefully, if used well, this card could probably also be used as a card for forced control...

For example, if a character you can't beat suddenly appears, you can force the opponent to kick someone in the butt first, and then use that as an opportunity to escape or fight back...

But then again, if he were using the [Jaeg Winchester] identity card, this card would be practically useless.

Unless you encounter an enemy with high magic resistance, there are countless spells with stronger control effects than this card, such as Freeze and Stasis spells. It's not like you'd get a chance to kick someone's butt.

Of course, it's also possible that Jaeger might be in a bad mood one day and go out on the street to find two lucky passersby to kick each other's butts for fun, in which case he might use this card?

Hope your butt is okay.jpg

After reviewing the results of the two event cards, I feel I've gained something tonight.

No, it seems there's more than that.

Jaeger recalled some thoughts he'd had about how to handle the Court of Owls when Harvey Dent had mentioned Arkham Asylum earlier—well, that was an unexpected bonus.

With the harvest in hand, Jaeger's mood instantly brightened, and even the dessert in his mouth tasted delicious... No, it seemed like it was already quite tasty.

In short, tonight's dinner was worth it—thank you, Bruce!

Please be sure to call me again next time there's an event like this!
