Chapter 807: Expired Strategy Causes Great Harm (Part 1)
If you try to beat a very difficult game, but have no results for a long time, suddenly, a strategy is handed to you, written very detailed, looking reasonable and well-founded, not only with pictures and texts, but also marking the key points. At this time, what will you do?
Perhaps many people are relatively repulsive on the surface, but in the end, they will still be "true fragrance." Even if they are relatively hardcore players, after being tortured by super difficult levels after refusing the strategy, they will also regret why they didn't take a look at that strategy at the beginning.
Savage took Cat Getan as a foothold on the East Coast, which itself had already chosen a hell-difficulty dungeon. And his approach was to win over ordinary people and villains from Central City to spy on intelligence for him, which was choosing the most hardcore playstyle in a hell-difficulty dungeon.
Not everyone is a hardcore player who likes to be abused. Most people are still used to games with moderate difficulty and step-by-step upgrades. And Savage, as arrogant as he is, he prefers to reach the sky in one step, hoping to get a cheat to let him rule the earth immediately.
Through his unremitting efforts, he got the lantern in his hand, but it was far from enough. He must break through this city that had made him fail several times.
If you say, in which aspect a relatively green Batman can compare to the later Old Man Batman, it is undoubtedly formulating plans.
Before officially debuting as Batman, he had already formulated many plans. He aimed at various dangerous targets in Cat Getan City, conducted repeated investigations, collected their weaknesses, listed them all, and formulated one plan after another, preparing for his heroic career.
Looking at these plans, Savage felt that the person who formulated this plan must be a strategic master. These plans were linked together, the logic was rigorous, and the executability was strong. It was not a void castle in the air.
But what he didn't know was that the person who formulated this plan was only 18 years old and just a freshman in 1987.
What was Cat Getan like three years ago? Even Cat Getan's residents had some blurred memories. Three years is actually very short, but for them, it was very long, because earth-shaking changes had already taken place here.
However, Savage, who had only been here for a few months, didn't witness the high-speed changes in just three years, and from the surface, this city didn't look like it had gotten better either.
The phenomena mentioned in the plan still existed, so Savage naturally thought that this was a clearance strategy that came just in time. As long as these plans were used for his own purposes, he could conquer Cat Getan.
In a suite of a high-end hotel in Cat Getan, a stack of paper on the desk by the window floated lightly with the breeze outside the window.
Soon, a piece of paper floated out, flew into mid-air, and a rough big hand pinched the thin piece of paper, pressed it on the felt board behind the computer, and then picked up a nail and nailed the paper to it.
On the paper was the portrait of Godfather Falcone, and facing him was Savage with narrowed eyes.
The Godfather will be his first target.
In that plan, it was elaborated in detail how the Godfather ruled Cat Getan. Even Savage had to admit that in such a chaotic city, wanting to establish an effective order was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
And the old man in front of him not only established such an order but also kept it for a full 40 years. Until today, he is still the uncrowned king of Cat Getan.
"I like to fight with the fiercest beasts..." Savage's voice sounded, and the Pied Piper lying on the bed saw that after Savage stared at that piece of paper for a long time, he pulled out the nail, crumpled that piece of paper into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.
At this time, outside the window was the endless traffic of Cat Getan. The most prosperous commercial center was sleepless, and the lights of the buildings listened to Savage's bold words. This should have been the battle horn blown by the great monarch from the primitive era.
But the first problem Savage faced was that he had no manpower. As a great monarch, it was impossible for him to engage in assassination himself, right?
But Savage knew that in a city like Cat Getan, finding a killer was not difficult. What was difficult was finding a killer who dared to kill the Godfather.
Savage felt that all the gangs in Cat Getan couldn't be
He did not believe that Falcone and the twelve families under his command would be bound together as one, nor did he believe that there were no ambitious young people among the twelve families who wanted to drive this aging lion king out of his territory.
But he knew he could not act rashly, or he would alert the enemy. He had to first know which of the twelve families could be swayed and which were the die-hard loyalists, so as not to find the wrong person.
Among the information obtained from the Batcave, there were records of the twelve families. After reading this information, Savage had a better idea because he discovered that the Godfather had a son, and an only son at that.
Batman's character profile showed that Yin Wensi Falcone did not have a good reputation among the twelve families; many people thought he was too cowardly, not ruthless enough, not vicious enough, and not decisive enough in his dealings—not the material for this line of work.
But this made Savage feel very happy. He had once been an emperor himself, and he knew what kind of prince was easier to control. He knew what kind of puppets ambitious ministers liked to support to take the stage, and Yin Wensi possessed all the traits of a puppet.
A puppet cannot be too good, nor too bad; cannot be too rigid, nor too weak; cannot have too strong a sense of self, but cannot be completely without ideas, because he must have things he wants in order to be gradually bought and controlled.
In this file from Batman, Yin Wensi had just taken over some of the Falcone family's businesses. He did not perform well and was too eager. Just from the written description, Savage could tell that Yin Wensi was desperately trying to prove himself.
This was simply a perfect candidate. If he could use him to overthrow the Cat Getan Godfather, then the entire Cat Getan gang system would collapse in an instant, and he would seize the opportunity in this chaotic wave to gain a foothold, just as he had done before.
The file stated that Yin Wensi often went to inspect the few bars he managed, and Savage planned to wait for him there.
The addresses of those bars were written clearly, and with the lantern that allowed him to pass through at will, sneaking in was not a problem. The only problem was that when Savage arrived at the nearby alley, he discovered this was not a bar.
This place was located on the edge of the southern East End, an entertainment street developed relatively late. The entire street should have had three bars, two nightclubs, and two casinos, and like other entertainment districts, it should have been covered in neon signs and brightly lit all night.
But when Savage arrived here, there was nothing—no signs, no traffic, no bustling scene. The entire street was row upon row of strange buildings.
Savage saw gang thugs patrolling at the entrances of the buildings. He did not want to bother with these small fries, so he took the lantern, passed directly through the wall, entered the interior of the room, and then... was frozen into a grandson.
This was an above-ground cold-chain goods storage warehouse connected to an underground cold storage. At this moment, it was piled full of row after row of frozen goods, and the temperature was extremely low.
After the Cat Getan freeze incident, Cat Getan's old sewers were frozen into a natural cold storage. Gangs used the underground ice layers to build various cold storages on the ground to store cold-chain goods.
However, underground ice layers also had differences in quality. When the bomb that froze Cat Getan was detonated, the technology of Mr. Freeze, Victor, had not yet grown to its current level. He had to sacrifice some stability of the freezing for the sake of coverage area and freezing efficiency.
Therefore, in some places, the quality of the underground ice layer was very good and could provide continuous low temperatures with almost no maintenance, but in other places, it was not so good. In even more peripheral areas, the ice layer showed signs of cracking or melting.
Everyone knew that after the logistics industry developed, cold chain was the most profitable. These places with good underground ice conditions were rare and hard to find. Regardless of what was originally on the ground, wouldn't it be better to tear everything down and rebuild it into a cold storage?
Not to mention the emerging entertainment districts with no important status; even in the north of Cat Getan, after high-quality ice layers were discovered under the manors of several gang bosses, the owners of the manors took the lead in tearing down their own homes just to make room for cold storage.
The villas cost a lot of money, but if a cold storage was built, there would be a steady stream of big money coming in. They could still calculate that much.
Nowadays, what could be seen everywhere in Cat Getan were these cold storages connected by several layers of ground and underground structures, and Savage, knowing nothing, dared to teleport in, which was equivalent to stepping directly into Mr. Freeze Victor's freezing trap.
Savage hurriedly activated the lantern's ability to teleport out, but there was a problem with the direction of the teleportation, and he entered the cold storage next door again. Fortunately, he teleported out again, but before he could do anything, he was discovered by the patrolling gang thugs.
This was still the Falcone family's territory, and the Falcone family was not short of excellent thugs.
These people were not the amateur security guards who slacked off in small gangs; each of them was comparable to the gold-medal thugs of big gangs, with extreme vigilance, not letting go of any suspicious details.
Savage's figure had just appeared at the street corner when, within seconds, the sound of gunfire followed. The entire street was alarmed. Savage hadn't even seen clearly where so many people had sprung from before he found himself surrounded.
Not wanting to alert the enemy, he had to waste the lantern's energy again to perform a long-distance teleportation before he could leave that street.
Back in his hotel suite, Savage did not feel discouraged by this. He re-read the file and felt that he might not have found the right place, so he planned to try his luck again tomorrow.
But just as he planned to rest for a while, the Falcone manor was brightly lit. Standing in front of Alberto was a gang boss in a suit, who said somewhat tremblingly:
"... Yes, Young Master, we found a suspicious person there, but we didn't catch him..."
Looking at Alberto's expression, the gang boss said with a trembling tone, "... It really wasn't that the brothers didn't try their best; that person could teleport, and he just 'whooshed' and disappeared..."
Alberto's face was as calm as water. He looked at the gang boss and said, "Could teleport? Did you see him teleport out of Cat Getan with your own eyes?"
The gang boss shook his head vigorously.
"Since you didn't, then why not go look for him?" Alberto turned around, paused his steps, and said, "Forget it, a bunch of trash... Go get Cobblepot."
"Daring to touch the Falcone family's things... God bless him."
