Gotham Dark Godfather

Chapter 37: Outsmarting the Riddler

Besides, the reason Zhou Hao got the position of detective had almost nothing to do with hard work and obeying the law. It was all because he helped Lobu cover up the scandal. !But these words are naturally impossible to tell the Riddler Nygma. It is a good thing that he remains a little naive now, otherwise this guy's intelligence will be used to speculate on people after turning black, which will be a disaster for Zhou Hao.

But the current dilemma is that Zhou Hao needs to expand the scale of his video disc production, which requires technological progress to improve the machine.However, Nimag, who had the ability to do this at this moment, was uncooperative. Thinking about it, how could he devote his innocent body to illegal activities without going through the tragedy of his life.

But Zhou Hao was not in a hurry. He smiled lightly and had already made a plan.I deliberately found a few old and broken copy machines to burn discs.This kind of thing that is almost to be eliminated makes a rumbling noise like a tractor after being connected to the power source. It seems that it will not be used for long.

"Zhou, I didn't expect that so many things happened today. It's really surprising." Riddler Nimag saw that Zhou Hao had turned on the machine, so he took every opportunity to urge: "Now I just want to go home quickly, lie in bed and have a good drink." A glass of ice wine to calm myself down... Well, to be honest, what I encountered this night is more thrilling than anything I have encountered in recent years..."

Seeing that Riddler Nimag was about to leave, Zhou Hao smiled slightly, found a rag to wipe his hands, and followed his words and said: "Isn't that right? There is nothing better than having a drink after get off work. If so, , then definitely have two drinks.”

Hearing Zhou Hao's joking remarks, Nimag laughed and was about to say something appropriate for the occasion when he heard a bang and saw black smoke swirling around him. The smell of burning rushed into his nose. He was already barely breathing. The old equipment was out of action at this time, and the flashing electric light seemed to be on the verge of catching fire at any time.

"Ah! There's something wrong with the radiator?" Riddler Nygma was experienced. He saw the problem at a glance and immediately came to a conclusion: "At this time, we must cut off the power immediately and use physical methods to dissipate heat for the machine, otherwise this will continue. It will definitely catch fire.”

Who would have thought that when Zhou Hao saw this, he jumped up in an exaggerated manner and kept shouting: "Huh? Such a thing happened, hahaha! It really makes you laugh - but don't worry, it's over It’s not the first time, I’m very experienced...”

After saying that, he threw away a thick felt blanket and covered the sparking machine tightly.

"Ha, you can't see it now. Don't worry, cover it for a while and the fire will go out." Zhou Hao deliberately showed a simple and honest look and said: "Weren't you in a hurry to go back just now? Come on, let's go home now and do the rest. I'll deal with it tomorrow."

Riddler Nygma's eyes widened and he looked at Zhou Hao in disbelief, making sure that this guy was not joking.Please!There was still smoke coming from under the corner of the blanket, and it was getting bigger and bigger. At this time, you actually said that it would be dealt with tomorrow?Are you kidding me?

"Smoke...fire..." Riddler Nygma was so frightened that he could not speak incoherently. He pointed at the place where the smoke was coming from and stammered out a complete sentence.

However, Zhou Hao still looked at him with a confused look on his face, and said inexplicably: "Fireworks...??? Do you want to say...I am me, fireworks with different colors?"

Nygma, who didn't understand Shi's sarcastic joke, quickly kicked the machine away. The blanket immediately fell to the side, and the entire disc burner was smashed to pieces.

"Did you make a mistake? Didn't you install a liquid cooling system in your machine? It can easily overheat and catch fire." Nygma said angrily. As an engineering male with the zodiac sign X, this kind of mistake is simply ridiculous in his eyes. It's a crime.

"..." Zhou Hao stood aside with a silly smile on his face.

"Even if there is no coolant, then we should prepare an electric fan outside to blow air into the chassis to dissipate heat. Why not cover it with a blanket?" Nygma said anxiously.

"Then what should we do? I have never made such complicated and precise instruments. Maybe I can go to the slums and find a Vietnamese technician to deal with the emergency. After all, they run a video store." Zhou Hao asked sincerely: " Now that you have kicked the machine into such a state, how can I still use it... Unfortunately, the discs I still want to burn are all gone now..."

Hearing this, Nygma took a deep breath and felt slighted.Are you kidding me? I am so knowledgeable and rich, how can those monkey-like Vietnamese deserve to be against me?I saw him taking off his coat, rolling up his sleeves and saying decisively:

"What's the big deal with this rubbish thing? Look, I'm going to get you a new one now. I'm sure your original thing was awesome - it's time for you to see the real technology."

After that, he picked up a wrench, walked to the pile of confiscated equipment, picked out the usable parts, and started working on it.

Zhou Hao, who had always kept a silly smile, finally put away his exaggerated and blunt acting skills when he saw this scene, lit a cigarette in his mouth, and watched the Riddler busy in his spare time.

As the saying goes, "It is better to challenge a general than to invite him." Zhou Hao, who was familiar with the Riddler's character, naturally knew where this guy's weakness was.In a sense, this talented guy has always admired exposure and the feeling of being noticed.To put it simply, not letting this guy show off would kill him.In the 1999 Batman comic magazine "Gotham Adventures", when the Riddler planned to commit a crime, he did not leave riddle clues to expose himself as before, but in the end he still couldn't stand the feeling.

In that comic, the Riddler once said to Batman and Robin: "You don't understand... I really don't want to leave you any clues. I really don't want to go back to Arkham Asylum anymore. But I still I left you with a clue. So, I...I had to go back there. Because I might need help. I...I might actually be crazy."

Therefore, Zhou Hao deliberately showed that he was not good at the instrument, and even made some low-level mistakes one after another, providing the Riddler with an opportunity to show off.This move made Nygma sit on pins and needles. Looking at these erroneous operations, he could not hold back his inner desire after all. As expected, he picked up the tool and started to show off in front of Zhou Hao.

"Now, the only thing I have to do is prepare a bunch of compliments and wait for the Riddler to coax him after he finishes it." Zhou Hao thought to himself: "But it's really good. This guy who is known as the most intelligent guy on earth, What kind of different things can be made? This is exciting..."
