"Start with Batman"

Ancient existences wake up in the abyss, demons whisper in people’s ears, unknown horrors erode the spirit, and madness breeds in the darkness of people’s hearts. But it is not only darkness that descends on this world. There are heavily armed dark knights walking in the dark to judge crimes; tight-fitting supernatural beings wandering between buildings to act as friendly neighbors; The impossible god on earth, the “S” symbolizing hope shines like the sun on his chest… No one could have imagined that behind all of them, there was just a player sitting in front of a computer screen holding a keyboard and punching hard. ---------------------------------- This is an edited version of the MTL story "Start with Batman".

Chapter 11: interdimensional package

Chu Cheng returned to the room and opened the sealed package using a paper knife. However, upon seeing the green eye patch inside, which was exactly the same as the one in the game, he couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

It was not an illusion; it was real. He nervously stretched out his hand to pick up the small blindfold, made of a material he had never seen before. It was cold, soft, and very comfortable to the touch.

When he tried to put on the blindfold, he realized that it did not require any strings or mechanism to fit tightly on his skin. It was almost as if it was tailor-made for him, and wearing it did not affect his vision or actions at all. He could even ignore its existence if he did not pay attention.

Chu Cheng took off the blindfold and stared blankly at the empty package that lay open in front of him. He wondered how such an exquisitely packaged package, without any information about the sender's or consignee's address, could arrive almost instantly after he clicked the mouse on his computer to buy it.

He questioned whether this was an interdimensional express service, or if it was possible to place an order and receive it within seconds. This level of delivery efficiency was truly remarkable, surpassing even the SF Express.

At least it proves one thing - the game has the ability to affect the reality he is in right now.

Green Arrow, because of his superhero code name colliding with a well-known chewing gum brand, is known as Brother Sugar. Its image design pays homage to Robin Hood and is positioned as a shooter specializing in hand-to-hand combat, proficient in bow fighting with one hand.

As for Brother Tang's equipment, his bow and arrows, and black-tech arrows might still be useful, but Chu Cheng couldn't figure out what use a broken blindfold would be.

However, although it is useless to take out Brother Tang's blindfold this time, after thinking about it, is there any chance for other superhero equipment to be shipped from this summoning array system?

Including some other equipment that is much more useful than eye patches?

Like Batman's dart hook and uniform, Spiderman's web launcher, or even... Iron Man armor?

If those can also be embodied in reality, they will directly transform into extraordinary power that can be used in reality!

Chu Cheng sat back in front of the computer, looking at the running game on the screen, his expression becoming more complicated.

He entered the module of simulation training again. But this time, Chu Cheng's mentality was different from before. If the tutorial was just for yesterday, today was purely for learning and training.

Fixed grammar:

Familiarity with the fighting system, the use of stealth tactics, and the use of various props... Suddenly, these are not just game skills for Chu Cheng, but real abilities that require extraordinary ability for him to learn, master, and skillfully use.

Games are Chu Cheng's specialty, and he has never been so serious about any game in his life, so his game skills have improved rapidly in a day.

He found that although the operation details of this game are more difficult than those of the previous Batman series, once he becomes familiar with the operations, the performance is better. Players can almost become Batman himself through the medium of a keyboard and mouse, as long as they are familiar enough.

The day was spent in the simulation, and finally, night fell.

He selected Batman on the hero selection interface and went out directly.

There was a brief black screen, and when the screen came back on, Batman had already landed in the urban area under the night sky. He squatted halfway between the brightly lit city, his cloak undulating in the bright moonlight.

Chu Cheng recognized at a glance that he was opposite the Klein Group building that went offline last night.

He controlled Batman to walk to the edge of the roof, moved the mouse to adjust to a bird's-eye view, and could even see the cordon pulled up at the bottom of the building, as well as the personnel standing guard beside it.

From this angle, he could even imagine from which angle the photo he had seen on the post bar during the day was taken.

Upon logging in, the game reminded him that both the tutorial and the first mission had been completed. The map function had been unlocked, allowing players to manipulate Batman to explore the city freely.

Chu Cheng pressed the "M" key on the keyboard, and the city map immediately appeared on the screen. It was a map of Jiangdu, where Chu Cheng lived.

He used the mouse to move his perspective on the map and even found his current location.

Chu Cheng suddenly had an idea.

Could he find himself in this game?

Although this city was also called Jiangdu, it was not exactly the same as the city he lived in before crossing. Some streets and areas were exactly the same as in his previous life (including the area where his uncle's house was located), but there were also many differences.

For one, the current Jiangdu was more than three times larger than the city in Chu Cheng's previous life.

As mentioned before, there was no concept of national boundaries on the Earth Pole Star. In any city, there could be people with appearance characteristics from various countries and regions on the original D-sphere, but people in the same city would also form different social circles according to their race and living habits.

Chu Cheng is old-fashioned when it comes to playing games. He recalls being ridiculed by bullet screens every day when he played Dark Souls during live broadcasts. They would say that the biggest obstacle for someone to become popular was hand cramps, but the anchor's biggest obstacle was getting lost.

There is a saying that all roads lead to Rome, but it doesn't apply to him. He only sees all roads as mazes. This world may exist for some people, but it doesn't for him. He only sees front, back, left, and right.

Fortunately, this game is user-friendly enough to have traditional navigation functions. You can make a mark on the map, and as long as you aren't blind, you can find your way to the destination.

Chu Cheng marks the coordinates on the map and exits it. A small round bat mark appears on the screen, and real-time navigation guides the player to the target.

Batman's claw gun can carry more than five hundred catties, and the cloak behind him isn't just decoration--it's usually made of a cloth-like material, but once powered on, it can be shaped into a solid hang glider. This helps him glide high in the air.

The combination of these two pieces of equipment makes him feel like he's walking on the ground in a reinforced concrete jungle. Chu Cheng can feel the thrill of flying over walls even through the screen.

Especially when Batman arrives at an area Chu Cheng is familiar with, flying past his school, the neighborhood where he walks, and the business district he visits, he feels increasingly surreal.

Of course, he did not forget to avoid unnecessary sightlines and surveillance cameras during this period.

Batman's jet-black suit designed for stealth makes it much easier to stay hidden. Coupled with the detective mode's perspective hook and a black-tech decipher that can invade any surveillance camera, avoiding detection is not difficult.

As the Batman on the screen got closer and closer to the navigation location, Chu Cheng found that his heartbeat was also gradually accelerating.

He wasn't sure if he was mentally prepared for what he was about to see next.

Finally, when a shot of the claw was fired, Batman flew into the air under the ejection of the claw gun, opened his cloak for a handsome gliding sprint, and landed on the roof of a residential building.

Chu Cheng pressed the X button to activate the detective mode, and the screen image entered the first perspective under Batman's helmet. The image zoomed in rapidly as he swiped the mouse wheel, and finally locked onto a lighted window in the opposite residential building.

In the high-magnification screen of the detective mode, through that window, Chu Cheng saw... himself.

It was his room.

Chu Cheng took a deep breath.

He stood up from his seat, walked to the window, and looked at the opposite roof through the window.

Then he saw the Dark Knight standing in the moonlight, his cloak fluttering like a banner in the night wind.
