Chapter 2868: The Battle of the Brick People! (Twenty-two)

People who often play with plastic building blocks should have discovered the following rules:

First, after reading the instruction manual, I thought I understood everything, but I forgot everything a second after closing the manual.

Second, I couldn’t find the parts even after looking at the instruction manual. After I collected the parts from all over the world, I couldn’t find the instruction manual.

Third, no matter how you look at it, this part fits in here nicely, has a beautiful composition, and feels right, but it just isn’t here in the instructions.

Fourth, no matter how you look at it, this part shouldn't be here. It looks very abrupt and difficult to press on, but the instructions say it should be here.

Fifth, before you complete the roof of a closed structure, you will never know what you have forgotten. But after you complete the roof of the most complex structure, you will remember everything the next second.

Sixth, and most tragically, when you disassemble this complex structure and put the missing parts back, you find that no matter what you do, it cannot be sealed again.

The main universe Batman, Schiller and Tim are now sitting around the table reading the instruction manual. This instruction manual was actually drawn by the main universe Batman, but it was only to make it easier for others to operate. It was not made into a complicated structural diagram, but a step-by-step diagram.

So theoretically speaking, there must be no problem with the instruction manual. After all, Batman's products must be high-quality. So as long as you assemble it step by step according to the instruction manual and build an ancient city of owls, there will be no problem.

There is nothing wrong with the instructions, the problem is with the people.

Hearing that they were going to prepare a surprise for the local Batman, or to put it bluntly, to join forces to trick him, the Joker and the lunatics in Arkham were ready to go.

What could be a more interesting surprise than giving Batman a mysterious adventure in an ancient city? They can't wait to see Batman's wonderful expression when he finds out the truth.

So, the Joker asked Clayface to dress up as another Batman and go to fight the local Batman, while the main universe Batman began to draw blueprints and collect materials.

This sleight of hand is not unnecessary. Its main purpose is to make the local Batman think that the one playing the game with him now is the main universe Batman he met before. Naturally, he will not think that the real main universe Batman has set a big trap for him behind his back.

Although the Batman in this universe is dull, he is still Batman after all. If you don't use some tricks, it will be easy for him to notice something unusual.

Although the main universe Batman was somewhat dissatisfied with the lines the Joker wrote for Clayface being a bit too clownish, he really couldn't expect any more from the criminals in this universe.

Batman in the main universe drew a design and then started the construction. At that time, his biggest worry about the whole plan was that he felt that these lunatics in Arkham Asylum would not be able to build the ancient city well, and they might even start fighting halfway through the construction.

But as the saying goes, don't use your hobby to challenge other people's professions. These little building block people are naturally good at building blocks, or in other words, in their view, building blocks are actually the most basic means for them to transform and build the world, and it is a compulsory course. Chemistry, physics and fighting are just hobbies, so basically everyone is very skilled in assembling blocks.

So, the problem lies with these three outsiders.

First of all, Schiller, to be more precise, is greedy. Judging from the stereotype, he should be better at similar entertainment activities, but in fact, he is too busy most of the time. Texas Hold'em is the entertainment skill he has mastered best, and the rest are basically of poor quality. He can't even play mahjong.

Among all of Schiller's personality traits, the one who had the most access to similar entertainment activities was actually arrogance. Because he was really idle and his teaching activities were stressful, he needed similar social entertainment to relieve stress.

Even in Gotham, even in the first few years when the situation in this city was still unstable, he would always go to weekend clubs with his colleagues to play cards, smoke, chat, and watch stage plays. His entertainment partner was either Victor or Brand.

Apart from those youthful personality traits, the only thing he could do was play with building blocks. In fact, it was a puzzle given to him by a professor from the same school. It was an old-fashioned world map puzzle. He used it to kill time and hung the finished product in his office.

Later, some students saw the puzzles he made and gave him some more trendy puzzles, but most of them were illustrations and landscape photos.

However, with so many students, some of them always have different ideas from ordinary people. In the previous life, there was a student who was an avid fan of plastic building blocks. He was committed to promoting the wonderful world of plastic building blocks to everyone. Almost everyone received a set of simple plastic building blocks on their birthday, and Schiller was no exception.

This thing is certainly more interesting than a flat puzzle and can help kill time, so Schiller bought a lot of the most complicated ones and spent a few hours on weekends to complete them.

In fact, in addition to this, Schiller has also assembled many other things, probably because he has liked playing with building blocks since he was a child and is very interested in similar processes of creating order from chaos, including but not limited to complex train track models, roller coaster models, robot figures and so on.

But all this has nothing to do with greed. In his world, there is no such thing as "killing time". Time is money. How can he let money slip through his fingers?

So when the Batman of the main universe said that he wanted to assemble an entire ancient city, he was very disdainful and was ready to just poke around at the construction site, be lazy, and just get by.

But the construction staff was short of manpower, time was tight and the task was heavy. Tim didn't know what was going on with him, so he just pulled him over and started working.

Greedy is not good at playing with building blocks, but he makes up for it with his good skills in screwing in light bulbs. Don't worry about whether he screws it in correctly or not, just tell him whether it is tight or not.

But it was a bit too tight. The four superheroes found that there was no door in this fire room, so they decided to fly directly up through the hole on their heads to open the mechanism door on the third floor.

This mechanism door is actually very simple. You just need to turn the two rings on the door. The one on the left turns very easily because that was made by Tim. They couldn't turn the one on the right no matter what because that was made by Schiller.

He didn't even consider that this was a mechanism that needed to be moved, and when he was putting it together he just twisted it as tight as he could.

You see, wouldn't this come in handy to restore the body to the strength level of the previous life? Wonder Woman twisted it hard but it didn't open.

In the end, Superman gave up his weak disguise a little and finally opened the damn mechanism door.

Then the three people in the Batcave began to study why there was no door in the room below, which brought up another one of the two, Tim.

The comic "The Wayne Family Adventures" is very light-hearted and warm, and is affectionately called the only main universe of DC by fans. Almost every member in it is sunny, cheerful, lively and humorous, even Batman.

This means that most of their time is not spent fighting crime desperately, and they also have a lot of free time for various entertainment activities. In fact, Tim's favorite thing is not playing with building blocks, but board games. However, Dick is a good brother who likes to get others to play together, so Tim is also influenced by him and has some experience of his own in playing with building blocks.

Judging from Tim's personality, he should be very good at this because he has a good memory and will never forget the drawings. He also has a good sense of space and can easily understand the instructions.

The only problem is that his hands-on ability is not as good as Jason who can assemble any building blocks into a thermal weapon, nor can he compare to Dick who can assemble a building almost perfectly without even reading the instructions thanks to his rich experience.

So at that time they divided the work, Tim was responsible for reading the instructions and instructing the two of them which pieces to put where, the other two were responsible for the work, Cassandra was responsible for watching, Duke was responsible for providing some useful suggestions, and Barbara was responsible for cleaning up the mess when they unfortunately fought.

In other words, Tim is actually a big talker. When it comes to a real fight, he can't feel whether his touch is right or not, he just hits it almost right.

The fourth floor is a flame maze with moving walls, which means there are many bearings and tracks on the ground. According to the design of Batman in the main universe, there must be a door among the four walls, but these people fell into a room with no doors on any of the four walls.

After some calculations and inspections, the main universe Batman discovered that this might be because the track of the wall they were facing was not pressed tightly, causing it to be deviated by the wall coming from the other side. The wall with the door did not come over, but the other wall without a door came over.

This loose track must be Tim's masterpiece. He basically just put the building blocks on it, maybe thinking of doing it later, or maybe he simply forgot about it. It was bad luck for the three of them that they happened to fall into this room with no door.

But after further research, Tim and Schiller agreed that the main universe Batman was also to blame - so why design such a complicated fire maze?

This is Batman's problem with assembling building blocks. He has no experience in assembly, so he completely puts his experience in setting traps and making equipment into the game. He also makes many plans in designing the structure of the building blocks, predicting every step of the people who step into it.

It cannot be said that there is something wrong with the structure he designed, but it can be said that it is an overkill. Is it really necessary to replicate the entire Zenith star to build a performance stage for the building block figures?

Moreover, this is not their real world after all, but a world of plastic building blocks. The precision of the building block parts here is not as good as those produced in the bat factory, so many complex designs cannot be implemented well.

If they guessed correctly, the fire maze below should have become a mess with everyone bumping into each other.

The main universe Batman stood up decisively and said, "You guys try to hold them back on the third floor. I'll go to the fourth floor to calibrate."

"Let go of the bricks," Schiller couldn't help but sigh, "The structure you made is too difficult for these plastic pieces."

"I'll try my best to simplify it." The main universe Batman is more receptive to advice in this regard, but Schiller is very skeptical. Simplification is nothing more than simplifying Zentraedi technology into Apokolips technology. It is really questionable how much it can achieve.

"I'll go operate the mechanism manually." Tim also stood up and said, "Otherwise, they will never be able to open the mechanism bookshelf you knocked on in their lifetime."
