On the other hand, although the Los Angeles Police Department was extremely busy, the exhausted police officers felt a surge of pride in their hearts when they saw the news about the riots in San Francisco.
The public security in Los Angeles has never been on the same level as that in San Francisco.
This is one of the most gang-ridden cities in the U.S. It’s a well-deserved reputation.
Under such circumstances, the Los Angeles Police Department suppressed the riots overnight after the earthquake and made them disappear in the early stages. This has to be said to be a miracle.
At the same time, everyone is more aware of one thing.
A big part of the credit does not belong to them, but to two people who stood up at the beginning of the chaos last night.
Batman!
Iron Man!
Compared to San Francisco, which has all kinds of weird things but no superheroes to divert people's attention, reporters in Los Angeles are extremely lucky.
This time, they had the experience of reporting after the last earthquake and made sufficient preparations.
They also have superheroes, two of them!
Based on the principle of increasing quantity without raising prices, various videos and reports about the two superheroes on TV shows took turns to keep a large number of residents in front of the TV instead of going out to the streets and causing trouble.
This is one of the reasons why the riots in Los Angeles did not last.
The users of these TV stations are not only in downtown Los Angeles, but also in the surrounding Greater Los Angeles area.
People who are busy watching TV and chatting nonsense rarely have the idea of rushing into the city to loot.
Besides, the TV stations have been reporting that last night more than two hundred gangsters using lethal weapons were sent to the hospital by two superheroes.
No one with normal thinking wants to be one of those unlucky people interviewed on TV.
Because all of these bandits had broken bones in some part of their body, and the most seriously injured one had his entire chest collapsed and was in critical condition.
The shows are the result of negotiations between Los Angeles council members and TV stations.
Extensive coverage of the news about the two superheroes can not only divert everyone's attention, but also have a certain deterrent effect.
However, Luke's other speculation was also confirmed: the system did not give any experience points as a reward for helping to issue a major earthquake warning.
He was a little disappointed about this, but it was completely understandable.
All along, if he wanted to gain experience points, it seemed that he had to personally participate in the action of punishing evil and promoting good.
For example, the last time when Alex was escorted, Luke tipped off his police colleagues and allowed them to arrest fifty or sixty gangsters, but he didn't get a penny.
Later, he conducted multiple tests using the Internet, telephone, and text messages, but still failed to pass the system's determination of victory or defeat.
From this, he confirmed an ironclad fact: System Dad was an antique!
It does not pass judgment on the results of modernization measures.
Whether Luke is brushing up points or obtaining a list of abilities, if he wants to pass the system's judgment, he must have direct contact with the other party.
Bets that are determined or completed using modern communication equipment cannot be judged.
Therefore, this time he assisted Professor Lawrence in issuing an earthquake warning on TV, and the system did not reward him with experience points.
He made further speculations.
The biggest possibility is that the system is not that powerful.
The reason it is judged as failed is most likely not because it refuses to pass, but because it is unable to recognize this kind of salvation and defeat.
Just like ancient people couldn’t understand that online payment was also about paying money.
Luke had no regrets.
Many of the things he did were indeed for the sake of experience points, even at the cost of killing people.
But he also has the basic conscience of a normal person.
If you have the ability to do so and do not threaten yourself, you should announce a major earthquake and save a large number of lives. This is what you should do.
Not many people died in Los Angeles this time, but quite a few died in San Francisco.
If there had been no early warning, it would have been normal for the death toll in these two densely populated areas to double or triple.
Just as he was watching the news and thinking about his gains this time, in the Malibu beach house, Tony finally put down his tools: "Jarvis, play the local news for me."
As he spoke, he washed his hands, opened a paper bag not far away, took out a cheeseburger and started eating.
"Yesterday, a new superhero appeared, he is Iron Man!"
"Batman and Iron Man teamed up to rescue the victims and fight against the gun-wielding thugs..."
"What is the relationship between Batman and Iron Man..."
"What do you think of Batman and Iron Man? What? Together? Um, sorry, I have some signal problems here..."
Tony's face darkened immediately: "What kind of audience are these? Are they all stupid?"
Jarvis was sympathetic: "92.3% of the reports are about you, sir."
Tony: "What about Batman?"
Jarvis: "…98.7%."
The corner of Tony's mouth twitched.
Both of them are related to more than 90% of the reports, which only means that the vast majority of reports mention the two together.
Thinking about what he did last night, he didn't regret it.
This appearance was not as wonderful as he had imagined, but it was not bad either.
Looking at the joy, admiration and respect in the eyes of those ordinary people who were rescued, he still felt a little bit of satisfaction in his heart.
Well, just... a little bit.
What he was really dissatisfied with was his own armor.
If the armor had been more mature and had more complete functions, he would have been able to defeat Batman last night.
...Okay! Maybe not. Tony sighed inwardly.
He's proud and cocky, but not an idiot.
The fight with Batman was also the first time he observed Batman up close.
From the moment he met Batman, Jarvis used all his functions to record everything about the other person, not just video.
For him and Jarvis, Batman finally transformed from a name image in a two-dimensional world to a real three-dimensional character.
"Have you figured out his true identity?" Tony asked.
This is still what he is really interested in.
It should be said that for most people in this world, this is their greatest interest in Batman.
who is he
Why does he hide everything yet appear in a high profile
"A big role of the bat armor is to conceal his physical features. At the same time, there are certain auxiliary devices inside, which make his movements very different from those of normal people. After searching the database, no targets with a similarity of more than 80% were found." Jarvis said.
As soon as Tony heard the similarity, he gave up.
If the similarity is lower by 10%, then it would not be difficult to have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands more people who meet the requirements.
Tony: "Talking? This guy doesn't seem like a quiet person."
Jarvis: "I have discovered something."
Tony perked up: "What did you find?"
"Except for those brief lines, every word Batman says can be found in a movie or TV show," Jarvis said.
Tony stopped chewing his burger and widened his eyes: "What?"
Jarvis: "I discovered from the use of certain words that he used a variety of local slang, including the habits of speaking English in various countries around the world. Finally, through comparison, I discovered this phenomenon."
