This was an extremely loyal fan who cosplayed Batman. They had survived all thanks to Batman’s protection!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm, they definitely had to visit Batman’s fan website tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Dark Knight, he left without saying a word after saving everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely this behavior of silently saving people without seeking credit that touched the reporters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were them, they would’ve stayed behind to say a few words and hype themselves up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why he was the Dark Knight and they were just reporters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three minutes later, Luke entered Kowloon Dessert Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter who was cleaning a table close to the door was very atypical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even lift his head. He simply raised his eyes and asked indifferently, “What do you want to eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke liked this sort of no-nonsense greeting. “I’m looking for someone.” He walked in without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he found Selina, she and the dog were stuffing themselves in a corner booth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he had arrived, Gold Nugget wagged its tail and was then done with its fawning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina gave Luke the menu. “Order for yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The menu for this shop was too complicated, and she couldn’t take it. She could only get the big gourmet expert, Luke, to do it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke glanced at the things on the table and shook his head helplessly. “It’s a Hong Kong cafe. You didn’t even order the coffee and tea mix.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina: “Hm, what’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was too lazy to talk to her. He quickly scanned the menu, and that apathetic waiter came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke simply picked up the menu and pointed at it. “This, this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter was astonished, but automatically took down a long list of almost 20 types of food, desserts, and drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t give him a chance to speak. He simply said, “Give me three of each.” After hearing the waiter repeat the order, he waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was money in a shop like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the customers were quick and spoke little, the waiters wouldn’t be unhappy, but would conversely be relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke couldn’t be bothered with niceties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he wasn’t picky about most Chinese dishes; whatever they were, it was better than ordinary American food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, it was almost ten at night, and past the shop’s peak dining period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the waiter’s attitude would be even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be impossible for two people and one dog to occupy a booth, and they would definitely have to share the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter would also start clearing the table as a way to tell customers who had occupied it for too long to “get lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the waiter left, Selina asked, “All done on that side?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke knew what she was talking about. He nodded and said, “Get a few people to thoroughly wrap things up. It should be fine now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina asked, “What about its kind?” She glanced at the dog head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Two of them are missing. Have the various branches keep an eye out. They’re unfamiliar with the environment, so they will inevitably cause some trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a simple exchange of words, the waiter started serving the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he understood for the first time what a “human machine” was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two people ate a little faster than he could serve the food, and with great precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the empty tableware was stacked neatly on the side so that he could bring one stack over and take one stack away without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the waiter had misunderstood a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who was really eating quickly was the dog head binging under the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it got any faster, it could swallow the entire table of food and cutlery in one bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to this “food regulator,” Luke and Selina ate very leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eddie’s stubbornness didn’t last long. Three days after the battle at the Life Foundation, he signed a temporary work agreement with PDD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be more precise, it was years of experience in society which had made him suppress the urge to sign the contract that very night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, if Selina had waited for him to finish reading the contract that night, he might have signed it there and then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be helped. Luke and Selina were giving them too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a PDD temp worker, his basic salary was 100,000 dollars a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an online journalist, this treatment… was very attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the basic pay, which was equivalent to a stable living allowance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But relying on this alone would at most allow an ordinary person to live a good life; those with some ambition definitely wouldn’t be satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the real focus was on commissions and bonuses for providing information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he completed a job or provided valuable information, he would receive a reward of 1,000 at the very least. At most… the sky was the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when Eddie discovered that the Life Foundation was kidnapping homeless people for experiments, he could have gotten a reward of 1,000 bucks if he had given this information to the PDD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for information on the symbiotes, that was worth over 500,000 bucks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Eddie knew that he was set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was Eddie? He was a news digger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he became a fan of Batman, he had been focused on digging up dirt on various enterprises for two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already had a lot of dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, for his column, he spent a lot of time investigating and confirming that there was ironclad evidence before writing an article\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he could report whatever he found. It wasn’t hard for him to make a report three to five times a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, 1,000 bucks was just the minimum in the PDD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eddie felt that given his ability to dig up dirt, and coupled with his new “Venom cheat,” he might not necessarily be able to encounter something worth 100,000 or 1 million, but it definitely wouldn’t be hard to find something worth 30,000 to 50,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a journalist, he exposed bad guys who committed heinous crimes, but it was hard to get them punished by the law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what he really looked forward to was the day when the Bat Squad saw his reports; it would be best if the superheroes directly came out of nowhere and “crippled” the guilty party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he could give the dirt directly to Black Cat. His useless column could go to hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A certain patriotic reporter’s biggest dream was to blow up those villains.\u003C\u002Fp>",1257,"2026-06-06T03:36:37.245Z",1,"novelbin.me","001a7d0b05ddb72d4ac14461602bed64a14c538212e26a495d54c9eea19a7db6","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1775","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1773",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
