Chapter 2857: The Great Battle of the Lego Minifigures! (22)

~11 min read 2,067 words

People who often piece plastic Lego bricks should all discover the following guidelines:

First, after reading the instruction manual, you feel you have understood everything, but one second after closing the manual, you forget it completely.

Second, you can't find parts according to the manual. After collecting the parts from all over the world, you can't find the manual.

Third, no matter how you look at it, this part is very suitable to be placed here, the composition is beautiful, the hand feel is suitable, but on the manual, it just shouldn't be here.

Fourth, no matter how you look at it, this part shouldn't be here, it looks very abrupt and is very difficult to press on, but on the manual, it just should be here.

Fifth, before you cap off a closed structure, you never know what you forgot to install. The next second after capping off the most complex structure, you remember everything.

Sixth, and the most tragic, when you dismantle this complex structure and install the missing part back, you find that no matter what, it can't be capped off anymore.

The main universe Batman, Shiler, and Tim were now looking at the instruction manual around the table. This instruction manual was actually drawn by the main universe Batman. It was just to allow others to operate more conveniently, so it wasn't made into a too complex structural diagram, but became a step-by-step schematic diagram.

So theoretically, the instruction manual definitely has no problems. After all, Batman's products are boutique. So as long as you piece it together step by step according to the instruction manual and build an Owl Ancient City, there will definitely be no problems.

The instruction manual has no problems, so the one with problems is the person.

Hearing that they were going to prepare a surprise for the local Batman, or to put it bluntly, to unite to play him, the Joker and the lunatics of Arkham Asylum were all eager to try.

What surprise could be more interesting than compiling a mysterious ancient city adventure for Batman? They couldn't wait to see Batman's wonderful expression after discovering the truth.

So, the Joker let Clayface disguise himself as another Batman to challenge the local Batman, while the main universe Batman started drawing blueprints and collecting materials.

This diversion wasn't unnecessary. It was mainly to let the local Batman think that the one playing games with him now was the main universe Batman he had met before, so naturally, he wouldn't think that the real main universe Batman had dug a big hole behind his back.

Although the Batman of this universe was dull, he was Batman after all. Without playing some tricks, it was still very easy for him to detect abnormalities.

Although the main universe Batman was a bit dissatisfied that the lines the Joker wrote for Clayface were too Joker-like, he really couldn't have higher expectations for the criminals of this universe.

The main universe Batman drew a design drawing, and then it was the construction phase. At the time, the point he was most worried about for this entire plan was that he felt this group of lunatics in Arkham Asylum couldn't build the ancient city well at all, and they might fight halfway through.

But why say don't challenge people's professions with your hobbies? This group of Lego minifigures naturally knows how to piece Lego, or in their view, piecing Lego is actually the most basic means for them to transform and build this world. It is a required course. Chemistry, physics, and fighting are hobbies. So basically, every piece is very skilled.

Thus, the problem lay with these three outsiders.

First, Shiler, to be precise, Greed. Judging from stereotypes, he should be better at similar entertainment activities, but in fact, he is busy running around most of the time. Texas Hold'em is the entertainment skill he has mastered best, and the rest are basically at a level that can't be looked at. He can't even play Mahjong.

Among all of Shiler's personality traits, the one who has mastered the most similar entertainment activity means is actually Arrogance, because he is really idle, and the teaching activity pressure is relatively high. He needs similar social entertainment to release pressure.

Even in Gotham, even in the first few years when the city's situation was not stable, he would go to the weekend club without fail, playing cards, smoking, chatting, watching stage plays. His entertainment partners were either Victor or Brand.

Besides those few younger personality traits, he is the one who can piece Lego. At first, it was actually a puzzle sent by a professor at the same school, that kind of very old-fashioned world map puzzle. He used it to pass the time and hung the finished product in his office.

Later, students saw the puzzle he pieced, so they sent him some newer puzzles, but most of them were illustrations and landscape photos.

However, there were many students, and there were always those with brains different from ordinary people. A student in the previous life was a fanatical plastic Lego enthusiast, committed to promoting the wonderful plastic Lego world to everyone. Basically, everyone received a set of simple plastic Lego bricks on their birthday, and Shiler was no exception.

This thing is of course more interesting than flat puzzles and can pass the time better, so Shiler bought many of the most complex ones and spent a few hours piecing them together on weekends.

Actually, besides this, Shiler had pieced many things. Maybe it was because he liked building blocks since he was a child and was very interested in the process of sorting out order from chaos, including but not limited to complex train track models, roller coaster models, robot figures, etc.

But all this had nothing to do with Greed. In his world, there was no such word as "passing time". Time is money, how can he let money slip through his fingers?

So when the main universe Batman said he wanted to piece together an entire ancient city, he was very disdainful, preparing to slack off at the construction site and muddle through.

But the construction manpower was a bit insufficient, and time was tight and the task was heavy. Tim didn't know what was wrong with him, dragged him, and started working.

For piecing Lego, Greed is not good at it, but his good light bulb screwing level makes up for this. Don't worry about whether it's screwed correctly, just say whether it's screwed tightly or not.

It was screwed a bit too tightly. The four superheroes who found no door in this fire room decided to fly up along the hole in their heads and go to open the mechanism door on the third floor.

This mechanism door is actually very simple, just turn the two rings on the door. The one on the left turned very easily because it was pieced by Tim. The one on the right, they couldn't turn it no matter what because it was pieced by Shiler.

He didn't consider at all that this itself was a mechanism that needed to be moved. At the time of piecing, it was screwed as tightly as possible.

Look, isn't this coming in handy for restoring the body to the strength level of the previous life? Wonder Woman twisted it violently and didn't twist it open.

Finally, Superman gave up his weak disguise a little bit before he finally opened this damn mechanism door.

Then the three in the Batcave began to study why there was no door in the room below, which had to mention another one among the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and that was Tim.

"Wayne Family Adventure" is a very relaxed and warm comic, affectionately called the only main universe of DC by fans. Almost every member in it is sunny, cheerful, lively, and humorous, even including Batman.

This led to them not fighting crime to the death most of the time, and also having a lot of free time for various entertainment activities. What Tim likes most is actually not piecing Lego at all, but board games. But Dick is a good brother who likes to drag others to play together, which led to Tim also being influenced and having some of his own insights on piecing Lego.

Starting from Tim's character design, he should be very good at this, because his memory is very good, he will definitely not forget the drawings, and his spatial sense is also very good, able to understand the instruction manual very easily.

The only problem is that his hands-on ability is a bit worse, not as good as Jason who can piece any Lego block into thermal weapons, and not as good as Dick who can piece eight or nine out of ten based on rich experience without even looking at the instruction manual.

So at the time, they were working in division of labor. Tim was responsible for reading the instruction manual and guiding the two of them on which parts to piece where. The other two were responsible for hands-on work. Cassandra was responsible for watching, Duke was responsible for providing some useful suggestions, and Barbara was responsible for cleaning up the mess when they unfortunately fought.

That is to say, Tim is actually a "mouth-strong king". When it really comes to piecing, he can't feel whether the hand feel is right or not, just knock it on.

The fourth floor is a fire maze where walls move, which means there are many bearings and tracks on the ground. According to the design of the main universe Batman, among the four walls gathered together, there must be a door on one of them, but it just so happens that this group of people fell into a room where none of the four walls had a door.

After some calculation and inspection, the main universe Batman found that this might be because the track of the wall they were facing wasn't pressed tightly, causing it to be bumped and deviated by the wall coming from the other side. The wall with the door didn't come over, and the other wall without a door came over.

This track that wasn't pressed tightly should be Tim's masterpiece. He basically just put the Lego bricks on it, maybe thinking about fixing it later, or maybe he just forgot. And it was their bad luck that they just happened to fall into this room with no way in or out.

But after another study, Tim and Shiler agreed that the main universe Batman couldn't escape the blame—so why on earth design such a complex fire maze?

This is Batman's problem in piecing Lego. He has no experience in piecing, and he completely substitutes his experience in setting traps and manufacturing equipment into it. In terms of designing the Lego structure, he also made many contingency plans, anticipating every operation of the person stepping into it.

It can't be said that the structure he designed has problems, but it can be completely said that it is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Does building a performance stage for Lego minifigures really need to replicate an entire Zenith star?

And, this is not their real world after all, but a plastic Lego world. The precision of the Lego parts here cannot compare with those produced in the Bat factory, so many complex designs cannot be realized well.

If they guessed correctly, the fire maze below should already be in a mess with them bumping into each other.

The main universe Batman stood up decisively and said, "You guys find a way to stall them on the third floor, I'll go to the fourth floor to calibrate."

"Let the Lego bricks go." Shiler couldn't help but sigh, "The structure you created is too difficult for these plastic pieces."

"I will try my best to simplify it." The main universe Batman is still relatively willing to listen to advice in this regard, but Shiler is very skeptical. Simplification is just simplifying Zenith star technology into Apocalypse star technology. How much can be realized really needs to be questioned.

"I'll go operate the mechanism manually." Tim also stood up and said, "Otherwise they won't be able to open the mechanism bookshelf you knocked on in their lifetime." ===== CHAPTER 2858 =====
