Chapter 2959

The Robins returned from their travels. Shiler felt it was necessary for him to host a treat, but clearly, the old butler missed his children more and must have already prepared a table full of dishes, so Shiler decided to take the young people of the New Warriors team to Wei En Manor for a feast.

Although it was a banquet, it was just a small family gathering. There was no need to dress too formally. Luo Bote never wore a uniform, just changed into a clean sportswear. Helen dressed up a bit, didn't wear short sleeves and shorts, but wore a cute blue suspender dress, and even wore a bow on the top of her ponytail.

Luo Bote said somewhat disgustedly: "You are pretending to be cute again."

"None of your business." Helen rolled her eyes and said: "No matter where you are, an old butler who can independently manage a huge manor must be a powerful figure. If we can handle him, trouble will say goodbye to us."

Squirrel Girl was using a comb to comb her big tail. She was a bit worried that she would shed hair when she went to be a guest. Night Thrasher was wiping his leather shoes. He was dressed relatively formally, suit pants with a shirt. Fungi and Luo Bote were similar, both wearing loose and clean sportswear.

Shiler went upstairs to change clothes—which was equivalent to not changing, still that black suit.

Without the Gray Mist, Shiler couldn't adjust the temperature as he pleased, and the weather was hot, so he actually didn't want to wear a suit. But Cat Getan University had dress requirements for faculty and staff. No matter how hot the temperature was, he had to wear a dark suit, tie, and leather shoes, so Shiler could only wear this.

It wasn't evening yet. The reason everyone was ready was that Shiler had class in the afternoon, and others wanted to visit Cat Getan University, so they prepared to go to Cat Getan University together, and then go to Wei En Manor together at night, without coming back to change clothes in the middle.

Shiler opened the garage door. After getting in the car, he immediately turned the air conditioner to the lowest. Helen climbed into the passenger seat and shivered from the air conditioning.

Shiler said while starting the car: "There is a blanket in the back seat. You'd better wrap it up quickly, otherwise you will be the first Doomsday in the multiverse to catch a cold."

Squirrel Girl handed the blanket to Helen. Helen immediately wrapped herself tightly. As soon as the garage door opened, everyone was like being hit by a flashbang, unable to open their eyes from the overly bright sunshine at noon.

Shiler put down the sun visor and gradually drove out of the community. Helen found everything novel wherever she looked, asking about this for a while, and asking about that for a while.

But obviously, there were no fairy tales in this city. Shiler's introduction to each building was almost starting with what disaster this place had been destroyed by, and ending with what disaster it was rebuilt after, which was simply heartbreaking to hear and tear-jerking to hear.

When Helen asked him to talk about something else, there were even more ghost stories. The history of every landmark building could be called a special collection of major cases. Serial killers' works were often discovered in museums, churches, art galleries. Every bank had experienced dozens of major robberies, every shopping mall had encountered terrorist attacks, every street had traces of gang warfare...

By the time they arrived at Cat Getan University, several people had decided to carefully consider the possibility of finding trouble with that Williams.

While waiting for the elevator in the underground garage, Shiler said: "You don't have to worry too much. Williams is not a local either. Moreover, even if he is a local, there are very few who can confront so many superpowered people..."

"So you mean there still are?"

Shiler didn't deny it. After walking into the elevator, he said: "There are, and they are mainly concentrated in Cat Getan University, so you'd better be honest. I don't want to see you hung in the lobby."

"What time does your class start?" Luo Bote asked: "What grade are you teaching? What are you mainly talking about? Can we go audit?"

"There is a basic course at two o'clock, teaching criminal psychology to juniors, group meetings for graduate students from three to five, preparing lessons in the office after five, and getting off work around seven."

"You can audit the basic course, there is no need to attend the group meeting. Anyway, you don't write papers. Recently, the school has built many new laboratories, and there is a science museum. You can go over there to turn around."

The elevator stopped. Shiler just walked out when Victor walked over and said: "You finally came. Is the class full this afternoon?"

"No class after five, but I have to prepare next week's lessons, and there are several graduate students' papers to read. What's wrong?"

"I adjusted the formula of dense ice and am preparing to make a small portable cooling device. I want you to help me test it."

"Where is Nora? Is she not here?"

"She got heatstroke." Victor said somewhat helplessly: "I said long ago that you can't dry clothes outdoors in this weather. She felt it was fine to go out for a few minutes, but got heatstroke when she came back. She asked for leave today."

"Is she okay?" Shiler asked with concern: "I find it hard to imagine that the wife of a cryobiologist would get heatstroke at home."

"Speaking of this, I have a headache. I have repeated with countless people recently that cryobiologists don't care about the temperature, but no one believes it at all." Victor sighed: "That's why I decided to break through myself and manage this damn weather!"

At this time, he saw Helen, squatted down very happily, touched Helen's face and said: "Is this the little girl from your relative's house you mentioned? How old are you this year? Where are you from?"

"Seven years old, Asgardian."

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she was also seven years old last year." Luo Bote mercilessly exposed: "Even after ten years, she will still be seven years old."

"Why? Do you have an opinion on the Asgardian method of recording age?" Helen turned her head and rolled her eyes at him.

Shiler said to them: "My classroom is in A213, you go over first, I have to go to the office to get something."

Several people nodded and left. Shiler and Victor walked to the office together, and the topic still couldn't leave the recent hot topics, which were the ridiculously high temperature and Luo Yi's situation.

"Everyone knows he is going to be promoted, so everyone is staring at the mayor's position. We advised him to stay for another term, but this problem must be solved."

"What does Cobblepot say?"

"He only told James that he is powerless about Cat Getan's situation now, so even if he takes over, what he can do is maintain the status quo. Everything has to wait until Bruce comes back."

"Managing a city is not that simple." Shiler sighed: "Especially a city like Cat Getan that is awkward everywhere. There are too many problems. Cobblepot's mother's lungs have problems, and we can't force people to do things."

Victor nodded and said: "Indeed, did Bruce say when he will be back?"

"I think it's soon." Shiler frowned slightly.

"I hope he can bring us good news."

What Shiler thought was actually much more than what he said. Cat Getan itself is a fictional city set in comics. As everyone knows, comics can fully display imagination, so the setting of Cat Getan city is a patchwork. According to different eras, it has experienced many reforms, and many times the official map versions don't count.

It would be strange if such a virtual city fell into reality without problems, especially since Shiler and others didn't continue the dark settings in the comics, but forcibly saved the city, which led to the exposure of various contradictory and conflicting places in the fictional settings.

For example, because the comics set that Cat Getan's rain has problems, the impact of rain on plants is greater than on animals. To conform to logic, editors can only follow this line of thought and say that Cat Getan has no greenery.

And after Cat Getan saw the sun again, the lack of greenery became a big problem, seriously affecting the urban temperature and causing inconvenience to people's lives.

But the real world is not like comics. A frame jumps over and it is lush and full of vitality. The impact brought by ordinary shrubs and vine plants is far less than that of green space and trees, and potted plants are even more useless.

To plant trees, there must be land, otherwise it is useless even if the Green comes. But because Cat Getan's setting is high-rise buildings and cyberpunk, there is simply no extra land for planting trees, which has become an unsolvable problem.

For the current plan, we can only adopt some more comic means, that is, like when Cat Getan was frozen, directly install air conditioners for the whole city. At that time, dense ice could make the city temperature drop by more than ten degrees. Although the dense ice in the cold storage has been upgraded now, it is not impossible to use some old versions buried underground to do Cat Getan's "ground cooling."

This requires complex design and precision manufacturing to ensure that the city's temperature can be precisely adjusted. Shiler doesn't doubt at all that Victor has such technical ability, but all the above problems have to be attributed to one word—money.

Everyone is waiting for Bruce to come back, not because they really count on him to take out any amazing technology. There is technology, and there are personnel. The solution is not that difficult to get out. The biggest problem is that there is no money.

Luo Yi is in the position, the municipal government has no money. Change to Cobblepot, the municipal government also has no money. Change to those cats and dogs sent by the State Legislature, the municipal government not only has no money but also might go bankrupt.

This is why everyone, including James Gordon, is side-knocking Shiler about Bruce's whereabouts, because all the dilemmas Cat Getan is facing now are actually money dilemmas. With money, everything is easy to handle. The new low-temperature factory in the West District is running at full capacity, and it is even completely possible to lay a layer of floor for Cat Getan with dense ice, and the temperature problem will naturally be solved.

But now, the money problem is not only plaguing Cat Getan but also plaguing the United States and the whole world. The whole world has no money. Besides Batman, who else can have a way?

Shiler's attitude is also not very optimistic. Now it is in a period of global economic crisis. Even if the government has money, there are problems that need to be solved more than temperature. This summer is destined to be very long.

As for counting on Bruce's return, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Bruce has many things to be busy with. Just preparing for foreign enemies is enough to keep him busy. By the time he is busy, the economic crisis might have passed.

Shiler came to the office and soon took things to the classroom. When he arrived, the classroom was already full. The few people in the New Warriors team sat in the back. Seeing Shiler coming, they didn't whisper anymore, sat up straight, and looked at him full of expectation.

Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed, Shiler thought. The basic course of psychology is very boring, and he can't make flowers out of it.

And the process of not being able to collect homework almost every day, and the homework collected being a piece of dog shit, made him even more angry and hot than the 40-degree weather.

Helen and the others watched a storm sweep through the classroom. She wanted to take back the evaluation that this Professor Shiler had a good temper. She also knew for the first time that there were so many words in the world to describe a person as stupid.
