Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

The talent of sensitive reaction seems to be very strong at first glance. The human body's reflexes close to the speed of sound are simply abnormal. In this world, with this level of reflexes, dodging bullets is basically like playing.

But its flaws are also very large, even bigger, because in its introduction, there is a description of "the longer it lasts, the more energy it consumes".

If you think about it casually, you will know that temporarily obtaining a reaction speed far beyond the limit of the human body requires a huge amount of energy beyond imagination. I am afraid that even if you squeeze a person dry, you may not be able to last for two or three seconds.

You know, the gap between reaction speed and action speed is one world at a time.

If they are both at the speed of sound level, the former only allows people to respond to the outside world in a timely manner, and it does not mean that he can really make actions at the speed of sound.

The latter is actually able to move at the speed of sound.

Looking at it this way, the talent of sensitive reaction seems to be of little use.

Looking at its price of 2,000 exclamation points, I'm afraid it will be labeled as uneconomical.

After all, the price of two thousand exclamation points was out of reach for Dean before today.

Even now, this talent would cost nearly half of his savings, so nothing could be considered cheap.

Even so, after a series of thoughts, Dean resolutely redeemed this talent.

There is no other reason, and the gift of agility is currently the only way to allow Dean to be equal or close to superheroes and super villains in the future.

Dean knew very well that now is the world of superpowers, and news of new superpowers being discovered is reported almost every day around the world, even though most people's abilities are not strong.

Even in Gotham City, which has the fewest superpowers, there are still killer crocodiles, Solomon Grundy, Poison Ivy, human bats...these exist.

What's more, it's impossible for Dean to stay in Gotham for the rest of his life. If he can't even react to the actions of those powerful beings in the future, what's the difference from throwing himself into a trap?

There is no need for superpowers. Take this incident as an example. If Firefly was not lying in ambush alone and more than forty killers under Penguin were also there, it would be impossible for Dean to respond to the shooting of forty guns. At that time, I can't hide even if I want to hide.

This group of people is not as restrained by Gordon as GCPD. They dare to kill people in the street even in the rich area. Dean's usual crowd-blending tactics are of no use to them.

Fortunately, Firefly didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she had to listen to the wailing of Kaitou Kidd alone under the burning fire, and didn't allow Penguin's men to get in the way.

Otherwise, it would definitely not be so easy for Dean to get out.

Maybe some people think that Batman is also an incapable person, can't he still kill gods and demons in seconds?

On that note, Dean hasn't read too many comics to be sure if Batman is really that invincible.

From the perspective of his local people, Batman is powerful, but not invincible, not even in Gotham.

Moreover, there have been so many public actions in the Justice League, and Batman has never been the main combatant so far. He is more like a commander or a staff member in the league.

Taking a step back, even if Batman can really react to the actions of those super-fast people, or even challenge the Justice League by himself, that is his protagonist's aura and plot needs.

In this regard, Dean still knows how much he has. His current reaction speed of 0.15s is actually quite fast. There are not many normal humans in the world who can match him.

Even so, Dean still had to be fully focused to have a chance to escape the pistol bullet, and it could only be one.

Dean knew that he was not the protagonist, and he didn't have any halo on his body. If he didn't strengthen his reaction ability, he might be killed face to face in the future without knowing when the other party made a move.

In fact, there are far better exchange items in the system mall than the 'Sensitive Response' talent, but items that can achieve similar effects are either too expensive or not as practical as this talent.

Dean didn't have to trade half his life for the ability to react close to the speed of sound for a few seconds, as long as he could react a little faster than others.

This will also allow Dean to perform far more superb magic skills than before.

To sum up, Dean believes that "sensitive response" is the most suitable currency for him at this stage.

After completing the exchange, Dean was ready for a good night's sleep.

He was lying on the bed, maintaining the same posture as the previous dummy.

When he was about to turn off the monitor jammer, Dean suddenly found that the burn mark on his right wrist, caused by fireflies, had mostly healed.

Of course, there is a reason why the degree of burns is small, but the bigger factor should be the credit of his first talent.

That is resistant skin (low level).

In short, Dean's main idea of ​​using the system exchange now is to save his life. Either he can defend against those street-destroying AOEs, or he can react in time to dodge super-high-speed raids.

It doesn't matter whether it is props or talent, as long as the effect is the same.

As for the others, Dean didn't think about it that much for the time being, and he couldn't afford to think about it at all.

——

Meanwhile, Gotham, the Diamond District.

Iceberg Casino.

Ogilvy sat in the office, the light in his eyes was faint, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

At this time, a sneaky man opened the door and walked in.

"Have you dealt with Lark and Grey Tad?"

Ogilvy asked calmly, but what he said was like a thunderbolt.

After the 'Pink Dream' incident, Greyletard and Lak were put under investigation by GCPD for allegedly leading the underground money laundering transaction chain.

Although the current evidence is not enough to guarantee a 100% successful prosecution, the GCPD investigation has become more in-depth during this period, and a lot of strong evidence has been found. It can be said that it is only a matter of time before Huiletard and Lark are imprisoned.

It's just that the clues that the police investigated can only be found on these two people in the end, and they can't go deep into the Penguin, because these clues were originally revealed by the Penguin in order to abandon the car and keep his handsome.

Logically speaking, this matter is basically over, and there will be no disturbances.

Both Lak and Gray Tad are old people who have been with the Penguin for many years. They know what to say and what not to say, and the Penguin is not going to kill them.

Hearing what Ogilvy said, he seemed to want to kill the two penguin gang veterans, Lark and Grey Tad?

(Although the ability of sensitive reaction is considered a superpower, I think it is very necessary for the protagonist, because many, many characters in the follow-up can move at supersonic or even sublight speed, so the protagonist does not say whether he can keep up , at least you have to react, otherwise people will not be able to find it when they rush to the face, just like Deathstroke's tactics against Wally, through super reflexes and anticipation, even if you can't keep up with the speed, you can still beat the opponent , even if the protagonist does not redeem this talent, I will definitely write in this direction later. There is no reasonable explanation for not exchanging it. I see it so)
