Chapter 2919: When Night Falls (End)

The affair in the vampire universe has basically come to an end. Although it wasn't as thrilling as imagined because the opponents weren't very bright, the harvest was actually quite good.

Moonlight Shiler was really just there to fight. The battle against the vampires and the vampire queen Mary was satisfying enough. The Controller didn't have any particular goal to begin with, but he did gain two fangs from the vampire Dick for his collection, so it couldn't be said that there was no harvest at all.

The Arkham Knight used the laser technology prepared by Batman against vampires to upgrade his gun and also had a great time killing, but the one with the biggest harvest was Doctor Strange. Besides recovering to his peak state, he also obtained a powerful undead vampire monster that had mastered four types of magic, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that this thing could be brought back to the Battleworld space.

In fact, players heading to various universes are not allowed to bring living creatures back; otherwise, if all the important characters in this universe were hooked away, the story of the universe would have no way to unfold.

However, this vampire monster doesn't count as a very important character, and since it was defeated head-on and then summoned back, theoretically it can no longer be considered a living being. It's just like a building block, counting as a prop, so naturally, it can be brought out of this universe.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the idea of going to the Batcave to loot and get rich overnight is feasible, but most superheroes wouldn't do that, and most villains who would do that don't need to do so.

The Controller had just returned to the base in Battleworld when he heard the sound of arguing coming from upstairs.

"I've said it how many times! Don't make noise in the middle of the night! I need to rest. Not everyone is like you, with a schedule infinitely close to that of a vampire!"

"I'll say it again too, I didn't make any noise. What woke you up yesterday were those personality traits from the magic side; they were testing new magic circles obtained from the dungeon."

"But if you hadn't suggested they go to that dungeon, how could they have obtained new magic circles?!"

"If you have the time to argue with me, you'd be better off hurrying back to sleep."

"But I still have two dungeons to clear on my hands! Do you think everyone is like you, failing to get the pity pull? I..."

The Controller turned his head to look at the Bishop who was reading in the hall. The Bishop put down his book and said, "Obviously, Pride and Greed."

"I didn't mean to ask that." The Controller took off his suit jacket, sat down, and said, "How long have they been arguing?"

"I don't remember." The Bishop shook his head and said, "It seems like they've been arguing the whole time, from morning till night."

The Controller paused for a moment and then said, "I seem to have suddenly remembered why I had them take turns controlling the body back then."

"The point is 'taking turns', right?"

"Yes, this can greatly shorten the time they spend in the same room." The Controller sighed and said, "The Superego didn't come; I should have guessed it would be like this."

The Bishop also helplessly picked up his book and said, "We all used points to exchange for earplugs in the mall."

"Are you not planning to stop them?"

"How are we supposed to stop them? We can't beat the two of them anyway," the Bishop said, rolling his eyes slightly. "Besides, they are the most petty among us. If we offend them, we won't have any peaceful days left."

Greed had no choice but to stand up and take the elevator upstairs. At this moment, Greed and Arrogance had just finished a round of arguing and were in the middle of a truce.

"Greed, do you still remember what you promised Helen?"

The sudden topic made Greed pause. He stroked his chin, recalling, and suddenly remembered what he had promised Helen before. He turned his head to look at Arrogance.

"I promised Helen before that I would let her and her friends go to Cat Getan to play," Greed said, looking at Arrogance. "By friends, I mean the young heroes of the New Warriors team, and those few from the Guardians of the Galaxy..."

"Don't even think about it," Arrogance refused flatly. "My new house can't withstand the tossing. You should let them go queue for instances themselves."

"But in exchange, I can also let Aisha and her friends come to New York to play," Greed proposed a condition. He said, "The scope of friends includes young people like Robin, Pamela, and Harley. How about that?"

Arrogance remained unmoved.

Greed sat down, crossed one leg over the other, and said, "I heard that your original manor has been on the market for a long time without selling, and the yard of your new house is in urgent need of renovation..."

Arrogance's eyeballs turned over.

"If you can host the little ones well, I will pay to buy the manor. How about that?"

One could tell from his expression that Arrogance really didn't want to agree, but one could also tell from his expression that he was indeed short of money.

Greed was wealthy in his world. He had made a killing while things were going wrong in Mexico, bought a new house on the West Coast, invited Lucifer to co-rent, and instigated Lucifer to fight in World War II.

However, his money was all in another bank. Arrogance hadn't thought of this at all before, but even if he had, he wouldn't have touched it. After all, this money was more or less tainted, and Arrogance didn't have the time to launder it.

But Greed had hit the nail on the head; his large manor really couldn't be sold, and he did indeed need a sum of money now to renovate his garden.

Speaking of Arrogance's new house, the small vegetable garden had already been established, but the rest of the backyard garden hadn't been touched at all. Arrogance also wanted to build a gazebo in the garden, and after digging the basement, he wanted to create a light well for the basement in the garden.

This kind of earthwork was very expensive, and he might need to move elsewhere to live during the construction period. The original manor was too far from the new campus, and if he stayed in a hotel, that would be another expense.

Arrogance calculated in his heart. Actually, Helen was a very sensible little girl, and unlike Aisha, she didn't chew on everything she saw. The members of the New Warriors team were also quite good. The only troublesome ones were the Guardians of the Galaxy; Star-Lord really lived up to his reputation of blowing things up wherever he went.

Suddenly, Arrogance remembered something. Amanda seemed to be cooperating with the FBI again, scouring the world for super-criminals. She had previously used clones to forge cases, wanting to make Scarecrow and Professor Pyg work for them.

The Guardians of the Galaxy happened to be a group of mercenaries who valued money over their lives, which perfectly fit Amanda's requirements. Since that was the case, throwing them to the FBI would also work.

Thinking this way, Arrogance nodded and agreed.

If it were in the past, such visits would have a problem, which was that there was only one Schiller, and he couldn't host guests in both Marvel and DC at the same time. But with the Battleworld system, it was easy to solve.

The two universes they were in were also instances, so as long as they drew the instances, they could go over as players. This way, Schiller's avatar in Battleworld could be used, and he could visit both places at the same time.

When Greed told Helen this good news, Helen was still doing construction on the island. She and her little animal friends had no intention of getting building materials, but were prepared to use local resources, cutting down trees and digging mines to build houses.

After receiving the news, Helen first notified Rocket Raccoon and Pikachu; both of them were now members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Actually, Rocket Raccoon had a counterpart team, but this was the function of pre-made teams. Some heroes didn't want to join counterpart teams, so they could choose to quit and change teams during the pre-made team phase. Rocket Raccoon and other small animals with counterparts were swapped together like this.

Rocket Raccoon was a typical case of "tough talk, soft heart." Although he shouted that he didn't care about the Guardians of the Galaxy at all, he was actually very curious about how far their progress had come. As soon as he heard that they could queue for instances, he immediately put down his work and rushed to Helen's side.

Squirrel Girl among the New Warriors team was also a member of the Small Animal Alliance. Hearing that she could go to the famous Cat Getan in another universe to play, she also came over.

Helen showed them quite a few photos of Cat Getan, many of which were left over from the music festival. She was very interested in the results of the East District building renovation project, and the few decided to go inside to explore.

Arrogance easily contacted the Robins. Actually, the Robins had asked him about the other universe before, but considering that the other side was at a critical period of interstellar exploration, Arrogance didn't let this group of crazy teenagers go over.

Since Greed had invited them this time, Arrogance did a favor and told them they could go over and play for a few days. Through the screen, Arrogance could hear the cheers from the other side.

Pamela was especially active. Besides being unable to forget Black Widow, she was now even shorter of money than Arrogance. In her own universe, she had been hung out to dry online by environmentalists again, and business was really hard to do. If she could do business in the universe next door, she would have hope of escaping poverty.

However, although it was about hosting guests, Greed and Arrogance also had their own things to do recently. Greed's Arkham Asylum was about to open a branch on the West Coast—ah no, a branch hospital—and Greed was currently inspecting the site.

Arrogance had been providing psychological counseling to people in the nearby community recently, which made his finances a little more comfortable. He took a portion of the money to invest in Killer Croc's moving company, and in order to negotiate business, Killer Croc was preparing to rent a storefront in a better location.

However, because he was from the East District, he didn't understand the wealthy districts at all, so he asked Schiller to help him look at the storefront.

The concept of the brand-new cleaning tool that Schiller had proposed before was actually realized by Victor. He had started a smart sweeping robot project and had been dragging Schiller to test it recently.

Therefore, Arrogance's free time at school recently was spent going to Victor's lab, and his free time after leaving school was spent looking at storefronts.

Of course, the newly appointed principal of the Cat Getan Magic Academy, Sivana, had also proposed many reform plans for the Magic Academy and dragged the deans of each college to meetings whenever he had nothing to do. Arrogance's remaining free time was also gone, which was why he appeared as if he had been gone for a while in Battleworld.

It was good that the members of the New Warriors team could come. Nightwing was still quite reliable. The key was that if Scarlet Witch wanted to come, Jarvis would also come. Arrogance had to admit that sometimes a robot butler was indeed more useful.

Just like that, Arrogance and Greed reached an agreement to send the young people on their respective sides over to play for a few days and help each other out by the way. This could also be said to be an exchange space unique to Schiller.
