I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

He still didn't know what to do and could only look pleadingly at Alfred, the butler who had always been by his side.

"Alfred, what should I do?" Tears slowly fell from Bruce Wayne's eyes.

No matter how much he would later strike fear into the hearts of Gotham's criminals, at this moment, he was still just a high school student who had lost both his parents.

Alfred's expression was equally somber.

Although he was nominally just the Wayne family's butler, in reality, he was more like family than any actual relative in the household.

For someone to make such a dark joke now was not only an insult to the Wayne family but also an insult to his "family"!

Furthermore, Alfred thought further ahead than Bruce Wayne.

It was clear that after the live television broadcast, this dark joke had spread throughout Gotham. If no action was taken, the Wayne family would be completely ridiculed in Gotham.

Ban public speech? Even the Wayne family couldn't do that!

But they could make people afraid to mention it!

"Young master, leave it to me. I will pressure the Gotham police department to find the murderers of your father and mother in the shortest possible time." Alfred paused here. "As for Khada Jhin, I will contact people in the underworld to help with the search as well."

Although Alfred was a butler, before that, he was a retired special forces soldier from the British army!

Soft-hearted? Not a chance!

Wayne was still young, and Alfred didn't want him to be exposed to these dirty dealings too early, so he would handle it himself.

He had to make the people of Gotham and Khada Jhin understand that the Wayne family was not to be trifled with!

Bruce Wayne nodded gratefully at Alfred.

"Okay, thank you, Alfred."

Ever since his parents were gone, it was Alfred who had stayed with him and protected him. Without him, he didn't know what would have happened.

However, at the same time, Wayne also silently etched Khada Jhin's name and appearance into his mind...

Li Wei blended into the crowd, then quietly slipped away, hailed a taxi, and returned to Arkham Asylum.

He didn't attract any attention along the way, just like any other ordinary Gotham citizen.

The taxi driver chatted enthusiastically with him the whole way about Khada Jhin and that dark joke.

"Khada Jhin dares to mock the Wayne Enterprises in Gotham? Isn't he afraid of retaliation from Wayne Enterprises?" his words were filled with admiration for Khada Jhin's courage. "If Young Master Wayne can endure this, then he'll truly become Gotham's joke!"

It was no exaggeration to say that in Gotham, offending Wayne Enterprises might have more severe consequences than offending the Gotham police department. Wayne Enterprises could be considered Gotham's invisible ruler.

Li Wei chuckled inwardly as he listened. Bruce Wayne wants revenge? Then go find Khada Jhin. Khada Jhin said it, what does it have to do with me, Li Wei?

I am the good Warden of Arkham Asylum!

As soon as Li Wei returned to his office, he eagerly began to check his gains from this trip!

He had completely won!

His system template had changed drastically compared to before.

[League of Heroes Mall System:

Hero Templates Owned: Khada Jhin
Soul Essence: 1535 points]

Khada Jhin's trial card had completely disappeared, replaced by a permanent hero template with no time limit.

Li Wei tried transforming again and discovered something new.

That is, after obtaining the hero template, even without transforming into Khada Jhin's appearance, he could use the abilities of the Khada Jhin hero template at any time.

Whether to transform and put on a disguise was entirely up to Li Wei!

This gave him much more room to maneuver!

After all, the appearance of a hero template was still a bit too conspicuous compared to an ordinary person.

Besides that, there was nothing special to say about Khada Jhin's abilities; they were still the same. Li Wei had become completely familiar with them over the past few days.

Finally, Li Wei's gaze landed on the balance of Soul Essence.

A balance of 1535 points, with an increase of nearly 500 points in Soul Essence, naturally couldn't have all come from those Maroni gang members.

Many of them were contributed by people who were killed by stray bullets in the chaos or died elsewhere in Gotham.

However, Li Wei didn't care whether they were innocent or not; that had nothing to do with him. What he cared about most now was something else.

He could now buy the hero template for Alchemist Singed!

Dr. Hugo could finally be put to good use!

He decided to act immediately.

There were no dramatic scenes of warmth flowing through his body.

Click, purchase, complete.

Three steps.

Singed's price was 1350. After the purchase was complete, Li Wei's Soul Essence balance was only 185 points left.

It would take a while to buy the next Hero Template without any major actions.

Li Wei wasn't in a hurry to install Singed's Hero Template onto Dr. Hugo. Instead, with a thought, he loaded Singed's template.

After buying a new hero, he naturally had to try it out himself first!

"Shake, shake, shake, to shake or not to shake, that is the question..."

A large cauldron, half a person's height, suddenly appeared on Li Wei's back. The cauldron contained an unknown dark green liquid that bubbled and gurgled within.

Li Wei's physique changed. His clothes transformed into tattered green rags, his right shoulder was covered by a spiked pauldron, and he picked up a heavy shield in his left hand.

Most striking was Li Wei's head... it had become bald.

He touched his slightly cool head, feeling unaccustomed to it.

Li Wei: "...I've gotten stronger, and also balder?"

As expected, this template is perfect for Dr. Hugo. He's already bald, so getting stronger won't make him any more so.

However, Li Wei's attention quickly shifted from his bald head to something more important.

Just like with Khada Jhin's Hero Template, using a Hero Template not only granted the hero's abilities but also infused him with related knowledge.

This was even more apparent with Singed, the scientist!

Khada Jhin infused knowledge of assassination and art, while Singed infused knowledge related to scientific research.

Regarding Hextech Crystal Technology and Bio-modification Alchemy...

Chapter 13: Metamorphosis, Evolution!

As Li Wei absorbed the knowledge being poured into his mind, it felt like reading a book without words.

Of all the knowledge, the only part Li Wei could understand was perhaps related to organ rejection.

His beautiful biology teacher from high school taught him that...

As for the rest, he couldn't understand it at all.

Although this knowledge didn't require a long learning process and was directly infused into Li Wei's mind, technology without foundational theory was like a castle in the air, difficult to sustain.

Li Wei ultimately faced reality.

He wasn't a researcher. Professional matters should be handled by professionals. Dr. Hugo would definitely be interested in this knowledge!

Li Wei was very clear on one point: he had better spend his time finding ways to get more Soul Essence and buy more Hero Templates, rather than researching the origin and evolution of organisms.

As long as he had enough Hero Templates, he could have any kind of scientist he wanted!

Heimerdinger, Viktor, Jayce...

Any one of them could be considered a world-class scientist!

After recognizing this fact, Li Wei finally redirected his attention to what he should be focusing on.

Singed's combat capabilities.

Largely the same as in the game, with a total of four active skills and one passive skill.

Toxic Surge (Passive).

Poison Trail (Active).

Mega Adhesive (Active).

Suplex (Active).

Contagious Agent (Active).

Basically, all of Singed's abilities were related to potions and poison.

Hmm...

Li Wei stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

And he could run fast!

Li Wei could use abilities from different heroes simultaneously without restriction.

He conceived of a practically shameless combat style...

Use Khada Jhin's ranged attack abilities, and if enemies get close, activate Singed's ultimate and Poison Trail to kite them!

When the enemy advances, I retreat. When they encamp, I harass. When they are weary, I attack.

Of course, this was all assuming any enemy could actually get close to him under Khada Jhin's terrifying ranged assault.

After briefly familiarizing himself with his new abilities, Li Wei reverted to his original appearance.

Next, came the main event.

Li Wei left his office and went to Dr. Hugo's hospital room. He re-bound Dr. Hugo to the wheelchair and pushed him back to the Warden's office.

Since Li Wei had a good harvest and was in a good mood, he didn't deprive Dr. Hugo of his ability to speak this time.

"Li Wei, what are you pushing me up there for now?" Dr. Hugo asked with complex emotions.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't scared. The images of the massacre at Indian Hill Hospital had been replaying in Li Wei's mind recently, a constant reminder of just how dangerous a person he was.

However, after being confined to a hospital room in the asylum for two days, he had somehow started to get used to this lifestyle.

Sure, he lacked freedom and had to eat Li Wei's terrible cooking, but at least his life wasn't in danger, right?

"Of course, I'm going to give you your freedom back," Li Wei said with a smile. "Didn't you say you'd help me if I ever needed it? Well, the time has come."

Though he didn't know what Li Wei wanted him to do, a sense of foreboding suddenly washed over Dr. Hugo.

He struggled, unwilling to accept his fate. "Dean Li Wei, let's talk this through, please..."

Li Wei paid no mind to his struggles. No matter how much Dr. Hugo thrashed, the wheelchair remained as steady as a rock in his grasp.

Having combined two Hero Templates, even without activating their abilities, his physical prowess had already surpassed that of ordinary people to an unimaginable degree.

As they neared the dean's office, Dr. Hugo's pleas for mercy devolved into a torrent of curses.

In the end, Li Wei, with no other choice, used an old friend – a mouse scroll wheel – to shove back into Dr. Hugo's mouth.

Finally, there was some peace and quiet.

Entering the office, Li Wei couldn't be bothered to waste words on Dr. Hugo. Under Dr. Hugo's terrified gaze, a dark green orb of light suddenly appeared in Li Wei's hand. Just looking at it, one could feel the ominous, toxic, and evil aura emanating from it.

This was the first time Li Wei was bestowing a Hero Template upon someone else. He carefully examined the orb in his hand.

There was no peculiar sensation; it felt as light as a feather, as if it weighed nothing.

The ominous, toxic, and evil aura from the orb even felt like a faint, almost imperceptible warmth to him.

Holding the orb, Li Wei walked with a smile to stand before Dr. Hugo.
