Chapter 2836 Daily Life Before the Battle (Part )
Pamela brought a lot of stuff, all hung on her bike. Jason was stunned when he opened the door. He said, "How did you ride this thing over here? Did you practice in the circus?"
"Guess why I don't drive?" Pamela tossed her hair back and strode into the house. Instead of sitting on the sofa, she rushed into the kitchen, drank two large glasses of water and said, "Do you know how high the damn gas price has risen?! If you know anyone in the circus, please introduce me to a part-time job. All my credit cards are about to be maxed out!"
"You made a very wrong investment decision." Shiller was a little dissatisfied. He said, "From the day the stock market crashed, you should have stopped paying the bank instead of holding on to the house. Selena's situation is much better than yours."
Pamela stood in front of the kitchen island in a daze and said, "I just want a house."
"It's very rare," Schiller said. "In Western culture, renting a house is not usually considered a shameful thing, but in East Asian culture, there is such a custom. They think it is constantly giving money to others."
"Is not it?"
"Every time you buy something, you are giving money to someone else. Don't you have any use for the things you buy?"
Pamela sighed and said, "It's too late now. The sunk cost is too high. I have to make more money. I won't let the bank take back my house."
"How's the cleaning equipment development you and Victor are doing?"
"You mean the cleaning robot? The research process has never been the main thing. The difficult part is commercialization."
“What about multifunctional plants?”
When talking about this, Pamela's face looked as if she had eaten shit. She said: "My entire research team has been complained by environmentalists. I have also been on the news several times. Several of my previous stable partners have said they don't want to work with me anymore."
"What did they say?"
"Persecuting and abusing plants violates their nature and ethics, and they say I'm a mad scientist or something." Pamela was so angry that she laughed. She said, "They don't care about cows eating grass or people eating salad, but they care about me developing cabbage that can hit people."
"They didn't rush into your lab, did they?" Jason asked as he sorted out the pile of things Pamela brought over in the kitchen. "Didn't you teach them a lesson?"
"It's all because of Gotham University's strict security." Pamela said, "They couldn't get in at all, otherwise I would have turned him into fertilizer."
"So what are you going to do next?" Schiller asked. "It's not a good idea to keep paying off the loan."
"I'm ready to join Wayne Group." Pamela snorted coldly and said, "I want to see if those people dare to rush into Wayne Group."
They sorted the things they brought into different categories. Merkel had already brought in the vegetables. Pamela's mood finally improved a little. She took the two baskets over to check the condition of the vegetables.
"It's growing pretty well. At first I thought Clark was bragging, but now it seems his seeds are really good. The cabbages are big and round, and the hearts are very tender. They're perfect for salads."
Then she went to check the potatoes, but it was obvious that she was not satisfied. Pamela looked at the potato bunch with some disgust and said, "These potatoes have been fertilized too much. They are a little too big. Small potatoes are good for salads. These can only be used for French fries."
Just as he was saying this, there was a knock on the door. Schiller walked over to open the door and saw Clark and Diana standing outside.
Clark still had a sunny smile on his face. After he walked in, he saw the vegetables in the kitchen at a glance. He immediately rushed over and discussed the harvest of the vegetable garden with Pamela.
Diana had obviously just come from Mount Olympus. She was dressed as a goddess and holding a torch in her hand so that she could play the Statue of Liberty. She borrowed Schiller's guest room to change her clothes, and when she came out she was wearing ordinary sportswear.
"The situation on Mount Olympus is not good. Ares, the God of War, is making small moves again." Diana shook her head and said, "Because of the economic crisis, the tourism industry in Paradise Island has come to a standstill. The number of tourists has dropped by 70%. We are trying to find a solution."
Shiller knew that the Great Depression in the United States was not just the Great Depression in the United States. The US dollar was directly linked to gold. Once this country had problems, all other countries would suffer.
The global economic situation is very depressed right now. Larger countries are still okay, but countries like Amazon are basically on the verge of collapse. Diana has not appeared for a long time recently, probably to help Amazon tide over the difficulties.
Harley also came over, but she had nothing in her hands. She was determined to get some food and drinks. Selena followed behind her. Selena looked the same as before. Her eyes were rolling around, as if she wanted to take something away when Schiller wasn't paying attention.
As soon as Harley's eyes fell on Jason sitting beside the sofa, she immediately turned away, pretending nothing had happened, rushed over to pull Pamela, and whispered something in her ear.
The dishes at the harvest banquet were very simple, basically salads and stir-fried vegetables, but they were colorful, fragrant and delicious, and could be considered a pretty good vegetarian banquet. So even though there were many meat lovers here, they all enjoyed the meal very much.
After the dishes were placed on the table, it was obvious that business was about to begin. Schiller looked at Jason first. Jason said, "I've already gone to the Dou Realm and met with them. It's hard to imagine that I'm so difficult to get along with in other universes. Except for the younger ones, the others all looked like they owed them millions."
"Especially the one with a J-shaped scar on his face. He put his giant bat doll on the sofa, leaving me with no place to sit. I asked him to move it away, but the others helped him to criticize me! These bat-obsessed people are hopeless!"
Jason was chopping the vegetables on the plate viciously, but this childish act of venting was inconsistent with his huge body and looked a little funny.
"Of course I also met myself from other universes." Clark said, "We had a great chat. They said they wanted to visit Kent Manor. I know they wanted to meet my dad. If there were really a dozen of me going with them, Martha would be crazy happy."
"My side is also unremarkable." Diana was obviously absent-minded. She said: "Most of me couldn't get rid of the troubles on Mount Olympus, and some were even more unlucky. But I am still very happy to have so many Amazon sisters. We had barbecue and danced together and had a very pleasant chat."
Harley suddenly yelled, attracting everyone's attention, and then she said, "You can never imagine how terrible it is to be with a group of people wearing terrible punk non-mainstream makeup, as if I am the crazy one!"
"And they're always talking about cookies, puddings, and sweethearts. My ears are almost callused from hearing them." Harley pouted and said, "I don't see anything special about those clowns. They're all crazy. I don't know why I have such a poor eye in other universes."
As Harley spoke, she glanced at Jason, but for some reason, Jason was staring intently at the cabbage on the plate without moving his eyes.
"I'm fine." Pamela smiled and said, "My other clothing style is a little... well, it's hard for me to judge. If it's because of the plant toxin, then I can understand it, but I don't like green that much. And my nickname in other universes is 'Xiaohong'. Isn't 'Xiaopa' good?"
Selina propped her chin with her fingers and said, "We don't have much to talk about, but they have some jewelry there. They said it was stolen in Gotham. I don't quite believe it because I've never seen it before. I want to ask Bruce about it..."
"Are you and Bruce from the other universe married?" Clark asked curiously, "You should have a child, right?"
"Don't mention it." Selina was obviously not interested in the salad. She waved her fork in the air for a long time but didn't eat a single piece. She said, "When I brought Aisha over, they were all shocked. They seemed to not believe that they would give birth to Bruce's child."
"And you didn't explain it?" Diana asked.
"There's nothing to explain. I'm Elsa's mother. Aren't they also raising children for that woman named Talia?" Selina curled her lips, showing great disdain. She said, "Damian is not as cute as my daughter. He's just a little bastard."
"Wait a minute." Harley suddenly realized something, and she said, "Your gender may be different in each universe. After all, Harley Quinn is definitely a female, but Superman and the like may not be..."
"There is indeed a Superwoman." Clark nodded and said, "But I heard there is also a Supergirl, who seems to be my cousin. I'm not sure about the relationship between these titles, but we don't care much about gender."
"There is indeed a male version of me, but it is hard for me to imagine there are men on Paradise Island." Diana showed a little disgust. She said: "I don't get along with him a little bit, and other people are also a little embarrassed. He said he plans to form a team with other gender-changed superheroes. I think it's good. This is good for everyone."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. At least Batman won't let Batwoman go." Schiller said, "The Joker won't let the Jester go either. They both obviously have bigger ambitions."
"By the way." Pamela turned to look at Schiller and asked, "Will Jack go? He doesn't look special, so he won't suffer any loss. He even gave me a free ride last time. How about I get him some nerve agent?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "Although Bruce is no longer Batman and Jack cannot be considered a complete Joker, don't forget that their strengths are dynamically bound."
Diana raised her eyebrows and said, "Bruce is an angel, and Jack..."
Schiller didn't say much, but Harley stared at him and said, "I always feel like you're a little weird today."
"What's weird?"
Unable to put it into words, Harley turned the fork in her hand and said, "Looking closely, there doesn't seem to be anything special. It might be my illusion."
"Are you really going to be a full-time magician?" Schiller seemed a little regretful. He said, "You have a very good talent for psychology. Don't you plan to work harder?"
"I'm a very typical psychopath fan, so ever since I saw other people like me in that crazy state, I decided not to study psychology anymore, otherwise I'd become someone's vassal sooner or later." Harry sighed and said, "As long as I have the ability to enter the mental world of a madman, I'll become a madman sooner or later. It's better to exchange my sanity for some transcendental power, isn't it?"
"It's not worth it to change anything." Jason finally couldn't help but said, "It's just a choice between hanging and drowning."
"So what do you want to do? I can't hide in a rich man's house and be a good kid. Don't interfere with me."
Schiller and Diana looked at each other, Diana exchanged glances with Clark, Selina raised her eyebrows at Clark, and then went to Pamela to confirm, and even Merkel, who was waiting next to her, gave Pamela a look.
Everyone shut up tacitly.
The two people who were arguing stopped awkwardly. Harley glared at Jason fiercely, and they both buried their heads in eating and stopped talking.
