Vol.2 - Chapter 12 – Mason declares that he has brought hope to the world

After looting Batman's design and production laboratory, Mason didn't leave his house for two days.

He didn't even sleep.

He spent all his time on those three machines.

Although his lack of "scientific literacy" prevented him from designing his desired items with professional instruments, fortunately, the database of those gadgets had many drawings left by Lucius Fox, the genius designer of Wayne Industries.

Mason used industrial printers to tinker with these drawings and made four sets of clothes.

All of them were based on the basic Bat-suit, with modifications in details to meet the different needs of the members of the K team.

For example, he added magic silk threads obtained from Turtle Island to the rebound suit made for Scarecrow, and used tough and lightweight aerospace alloy materials to reinforce the suit for Kite Man, who needed to fly.

His own suit was equipped with a multifunctional belt specially designed to store various potions.

As for Catwoman, he didn't have to worry about her.

The database of this printer actually stored various concept suit blueprints designed specifically for Catwoman, which only shows that the treatment of the future mistress of the Wayne family is different from others.

Mason's main role in this process was twofold.

First, he removed the Bat logo on the chest of the suit and replaced it with a K logo, and replaced the other obvious Bat features.

Second, he spent a few minutes determining a uniform clothing color scheme, using his favorite industrial minimalistic gray as the base, and adjusting it slightly according to the characteristics of different team members.

All other work was done by the instruments themselves.

Mason actually wanted to incorporate some of his own ideas into the production process.

But unfortunately, he couldn't design, and secondly, Lucius had already made the basic suit drawings very perfect, and there were not many details that could be strengthened even after the complete drawings were collected.

Fortunately, after Mason manipulated the instruments to complete the production of the four suits, he still received a significant increase in engineering proficiency rewards.

This is probably because these instruments are relatively complex and require professionals to operate.

The next night, Mason put on his suit and stood in front of the dressing mirror in the small shop.

He looked at himself in the mirror, wearing a gray suit that was tight against his body but didn't have too much tightness like a bodysuit, but instead looked heavy like a light armor.

There was a bullet chain-like strap on the chest, which was covered with hardened protection slots that could hold test tubes of potions, and the black multifunctional belt was fastened around his waist.

The buckle, which was polished into a diamond shape, had a K logo on it.

Hagrid's hunting knife was tightly fixed in the left weapon slot without affecting movement.

The burst-fire shotgun was wedged in the weapon slot behind the chest strap and could be easily removed by lifting the hand, and his double-barreled pistol and grappling gun were fixed on the right waist belt.The silver-gray stealth suit was tied around the shoulders like a cloak, perfectly matching the color of the battle suit. The bloodstains on the cloak added a touch of battlefield temperament.

Mason crossed his arms and slapped them against each other.

The combat arm on his left arm popped out a shark-toothed combat knife. This was the original design of the Bat Suit, and the sharp blade could be ejected to injure people when necessary.

The arm on his right had been modified the most by Mason. The shark-toothed combat knife had been replaced with a launcher that could fire sixteen darts in a row.

These needle-like injection darts were also one of Batman's combat accessories. Generally, the master would put sedatives inside, but as an alchemist, Mason had many choices.

He filled four petrification darts, four toxin darts, four coma darts, and four healing darts inside.

The poison in the toxin dart was extracted from the venom sac of the eight-eyed giant spider Aragog. Mason was sure that once this thing pierced someone's body, there would be no antidote in this world.

"It feels pretty good. It's just like Batman who faded after rolling in a washing machine."

The young man twisted his body left and right in front of the mirror, evaluating:

"When I become a master tailor in the future, I will definitely design my own attribute clothes. But now, my career has just started, so I have to make do with this."

He shrugged and picked up a silver-gray helmet from beside him and buckled it on his head.

Unlike Batman's design, which exposed his mouth to mock his enemies, Mason's helmet was fully covered.

An anti-toxic shield-shaped respirator was added to the mouth, and the eyes were red multifunctional goggles, just like the ones Catwoman was using now.

"Let me evaluate it again. It's a shabby version of Black Panther's suit... Hmm, it really looks like it."

Mason finished his last sarcasm.

He pulled up the hood of the stealth suit, and the whole person disappeared in front of the mirror. He was going back to the Caribbean world tonight, but before that, he had the most important thing to do.

He had to "collect" something.

An hour later, in the medical laboratory under Wayne Tower, it was still busy, but the researchers' mental state was much more relaxed than before.

Perhaps it was because the mission was completed, and some people were sitting in chairs chatting.

They had completed the second round of human trials, and it had been proven that the zombie vaccine was still effective on the human body. As long as the third round of clinical trials, which lasted for a week, was completed, this vaccine could enter the mass production process.

Lucius' golden-haired assistant was checking the vaccine that had just been sent for the third round of experiments in the storage room. She had finished counting and was about to leave when she unexpectedly found that several boxes she had just counted were "missing."

"It was clearly here just now!"

The long-legged assistant rubbed her eyes and immediately took out her phone to call her superiors after confirming that she was not dreaming."Mr. Lucius, there's been a problem in the lab... That mysterious thief who stole 500 doses of experimental vaccine and syringes seems to have 'visited' again."

"Let him be."

Mr. Lucius remained calm.

He even joked, "Our security system is indeed not good enough to face a 'monster thief' who can clear a whole floor in five minutes. That's not your fault. Don't worry, your salary won't be deducted. If the remaining vaccines are enough for clinical trials, don't make a fuss about it. After all, Wayne only needs to cancel one female celebrity to save enough money for 500 vaccines."

"Buzz."

After replacing the energy stone and reopening the world gate to the secret room on the top floor of the Iceberg Bar, Mason returned to Turtle Island after four days away.

As he walked out of the gate carrying his suitcase, he was faced with two black gun barrels, a sword blade shining with cold light, and three green fireballs floating in front of him.

"Very good, my team. Your reaction speed is impressive."

Mason's slightly distorted voice came from under his combat helmet.

He made a gesture of raising both hands to show that he had no malicious intent, and the three people in front of him finally realized that this guy dressed like a faded Batboy was actually Mason.

"Where did you get that outfit?"

Selina put away her Sujie Falcon and looked up and down at Mason's new equipment in surprise. The young man even turned around to let her see more clearly.

But for Catwoman, who was proficient in clothing matching and design, even if she were blind, she could tell that Mason's outfit was a poor imitation of the Bat-suit.

"Don't you have your own fashion designer?"

Catwoman knocked on Mason's head with her hand and said sarcastically, "Did you pay my boyfriend for copyright? You just secretly used it... Wait, this material! This is the material of the Bat-suit! There's no mistake. I've touched it many times in various occasions. Did you rob the Batcave alone?"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Mason took off his combat helmet, put his suitcase on a table with one leg, took off his invisibility cloak, folded it neatly and put it in the box, and explained to the curious team members who came up to poke and prod him:

"I just helped Batman with a small favor and took a design and production lab from him. I call it 'the gift of doing good deeds'. Not only do I have a new outfit, but you all do too. Come on, don't be shy."

He took out three sets of combat suits from his suitcase and handed them to his team members. The fact that they could wear cool and practical new clothes made Kite Man and Scarecrow quite happy.

But Catwoman, who was holding the perfect fitting outfit in her hand, fell into a strange silence.

A few seconds later, Selina pulled Mason's ear and dragged him out of the house, asking in a low voice,"Where did you get my measurements from? Also, the style of this outfit is completely different from the three of you. This was specially designed for me and is in the same style as my battle suit!"

"Um, this is a conceptual combat suit stored in the production database. Its name is 'Cat'."

Mason rubbed his ear and whispered, "This was supposed to be Bruce's surprise gift for your birthday this year, but unfortunately, I ruined the surprise."

"It's okay. He's so rich, he can always find a better gift."

Catwoman showed no reaction on the surface, but was actually happily stroking the clothes in her hand and glared at Mason, saying, "After you left, I took Angelina and my ship to Prince Port and found Blackbeard's treasure there. I gave the Voodoo Grand Book to Scarecrow. Jack Sparrow's Voodoo doll is here."

She took out a puppet that looked like the old K's Voodoo doll from her waist bag and handed it to Mason. The young man took it and put it in his multifunctional waistband, then whispered, "How about that female pirate? Do you think she's suitable to be one of us?"

"It's hard to say."

Selena untied her black bodysuit while talking to Mason. "Although Angelina has the inherent superstitions of people in this era, she is a very smart girl with means and strategies. She knows how to conceal her own ambitions. She listens to me like a maid and is even willing to help me massage my shoulders when I bathe. But I can be sure that as soon as she has the opportunity, she will escape from us. She has her own goals, Mason. She wants her father's ship and revenge on her lover."

"Hey hey hey! Be careful."

Seeing Catwoman about to take off her shirt, Mason hurriedly reached out to stop her and whispered, "We're outside. Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

"It's already dark, and I'm wearing underwear inside."

Selena rolled her eyes and showed a big sister smile, reaching out and lightly tapping Mason's chin. She whispered, "You really are a very innocent boy. Haven't you seen a girl undress in front of you before?"

"Let's get back to business."

The captain of the K team obviously had no good way to deal with the big sister in his team. He could only turn his head away and not look at Catwoman changing clothes, saying, "I have my own plans for the future development of the K team. I think we all have the right to choose our own followers, so if possible, I hope you will continue to investigate Angelina Titch. After this operation is over, if you think she's suitable, I'll allow her to join the K team as a follower. Our team needs more than just fighters for long-term development. We also need a complete intelligence and logistics system, and a small but elite servant army."

"Not bad, that's what a leader should look like."

Selena changed into her new combat suit.Although not fond of Mason's industrial minimalist gray aesthetic, she looked good in anything she wore, especially since Mason had added some cat decorations to her battle suit, making her look not only sexy and seductive but also adding a touch of cuteness.

Catwoman was very satisfied with this, holding the full-coverage helmet shaped like cat ears in one hand and tossing the tight-fitting suit she had taken off in the other to Mason, saying:

"Help me get rid of it. This suit got damaged when I was exploring in Prince's Harbor, and I don't like wearing the same suit many times. However, I haven't changed my clothes for several days, so this battle suit is original. I warn you, little guy, don't use my old clothes for any indecent things."

Selina raised her left hand, flicked it gently, and five silver-gray sharp claws popped out of her fingertips like cat claws. She scratched at Mason and said playfully with a big sister's teasing tone.

Instead of a warning...

It's more like a provocation.

These bad big sisters who like to tease little boys are really enough!

"Be careful!"

Mason stepped back three steps at once and said to Catwoman:

"Your 'cat claws' are made of magical metal, and the claws on both hands can temporarily petrify enemies. Don't play with them casually, they are very dangerous."

"Oh? Is it that powerful?"

Selina moved her ten fingers and became even happier.

"Mason, have you brought back the things we need? Barbosa will be back tomorrow morning."

In the meantime, wearing his "new clothes," Charles leaned proudly against the door.

This flirty guy had even added a red cape to his lightweight battle suit made of magical silk thread. He flicked the devil's gold coin in his hand, blew smoke rings, and said:

"If you didn't bring back the antidote, the four of us would have to face Barbosa's pirate group head-on... Hiss! Wait, did you specifically bring us back battle suits, intending to rob them?

Not bad!

This is the feeling that a time and space thief should have. But give me some time to summon a hell servant army from another world."

"Don't overthink it!"

Mason glanced at Charles, folded Catwoman's "original-flavored battle suit" and put it in his bag, and said to him:

"Everything is going smoothly. I brought back 500 doses of preventive vaccine. Tomorrow morning, Charles will accompany me to see Barbosa, and you and Selina will spread the news on Turtle Island."

The young man flexed his fingers, and a ray of light burst from his eyes.

He clenched his fist and said:

"We have already brought back the good medicine called 'hope' for this apocalypse, and the time has come. This tempting treasure can now begin to be harvested!"
