Nobody can stop me from drawing cards in Gotham!

Chapter 32 Please remember this social media platform

(To avoid padding the word count with the account name, the author has added several hundred more words.)

Jaeger had never registered an account on this platform, but since the phone was a gift from Bruce, he used the guest account Bruce had used at the time—which is probably why Batman was able to find Jaeger on the social media platform.

Jaeger stared at the message that Batman, or rather, Batman, had just sent...

[bat]: Did you resolve the Tompkins Clinic issue?

Huh? How did he know about this?

But then I thought about it again, Batman is a vigilante who is always on the lookout for crime, so it's not surprising that he would know about this...

So Jaeger replied:

【Visitor dgaibxne】: Batman? If you're talking about some drug-addicted guy trying to rob the Tompkins Clinic, then it's me.

[Visitor dgaibxne]: Also, the criminal dropped a handgun, which I didn't take. If you want to confiscate it, you can ask Dr. Leslie; she's a doctor at the Tompkins Clinic.

【bat】：Hmm.

After waiting for a while, Jaeger noticed that the other person seemed to be silent, so he pressed for an answer.

[Visitor dgaibxne]: You only contacted me about this?

[Visitor dgaibxne]: If there's nothing else, could you please ask Bruce Wayne if I can use his account?

【Visitor dgaibxne】: Oh right, and the SIM card, the one that's in the spare phone he gave me.

【bat】：：

【bat】: Why don't you ask him yourself?

【Visitor dgaibxne】: Uh, because I don't know his account...?

[bat]: ...

【bat】: [I recommended an account to you @BruceWayne]

【Visitor dgaibxne】: ? ? ?

[Visitor dgaibxne]: No, so Bruce has been implementing real-name registration for internet access on social media all along?

【bat】：He can be considered a celebrity, which is normal.

【bat】: Moreover, although Wayne Enterprises has its own official account, it occasionally needs Bruce Wayne's help to promote it.

[Visitor dgaibxne]: Hmm? Why?

[bat]: ...

Batman's silence inexplicably lasted for a long time.

But he did reply in the end.

【bat】: Because it has a large user base.

Jaeger: "..."

Jaeger then left the private chat interface with Batman and searched for Bruce Wayne's account instead.

The moment he entered the other party's homepage, Jaeger was almost scared to death by the outrageous number of followers and page views on Bruce Wayne's social media account—wait, where did this top-tier internet celebrity come from?

If Bruce Wayne weren't someone who couldn't possibly be short of money, Jaeger felt that with his popularity on social media and the stickiness of his fans, he could probably build a villa out of thin air just by selling products and taking on commercial orders.

While reminiscing, Jaeger followed the other person, then copied and pasted the question he had just asked Batman and sent it to Bruce in a private message before returning to his private chat with [bat].

【Visitor dgaibxne】: I'm back.

【Visitor dgaibxne】: You're right, his traffic is indeed huge.

[Visitor dgaibxne]: But because of this, I now have a serious question...

【bat】：?

[Visitor dgaibxne]: With his popularity, his private chat page must be exploding. And I'm still just a guest account, how could he possibly see my questions?

[bat]: ...

【bat】: Don't worry, he will definitely be able to see your problem.

【Visitor dgaibxne】: Why? Is it because I am actually a unique guest account?

What do you think? Well, that's because he's watching it right now, of course. Bruce thought expressionlessly.

At the same time, he picked up the coffee cup next to him, took a sip, and smoothly took out the phone he used as Bruce Wayne, logged into the social media platform, and quickly found a private message from a tourist.

[Bruce Wayne]: Use them as you like, they're all spares, I basically never use them.

To be honest, Bruce would love for Jaeger to continue using him, as it would make it easier for him to monitor him at any time—at most, he would risk being stared at by Alfred with a knowing look that said, "You know what I'm going to say."

After all, Bruce had yet to receive a reply to a friend who knew a lot about the wizarding world regarding the information about "Jaeger Winchester"...

Therefore, he is unable to lift the surveillance on Jaeger for the time being.

Thinking of this, Bruce couldn't help but glance to the side, confirming that a certain butler was diligently wiping the cup in his hand and hadn't noticed his gaze.

When Bruce looked at his phone again, he noticed the name on the other end—in just a short while, the original visitor name had changed.

【HooRay (Great!)】: ? You actually replied instantly.

【Great!】: Is your private chat page not actually as full as I thought?

Upon hearing this, Bruce subconsciously glanced at the private chat page, which was piled up with at least a thousand private messages—not even counting the number of messages that were automatically blocked by the platform because they were too explicit—and replied to Jaeger: Indeed.

[Great!]: ...

[Great]: Okay, let's get down to business—has Batman told you about the Iceberg Club?

Bruce finally got serious.

[Bruce Wayne]: I did say that, but the Gotham Penguin is a weekly newspaper, and the next issue won't be out anytime soon, so we don't have a date for the Iceberg Club's next opening.

【Great】: Oh, so there really was no news.

【Great】: I don’t know why, but I always have this feeling that even if the Iceberg Club opened, you would prefer to go there secretly with Batman and not take me with you.

[Bruce Wayne]: ...Haha, how could that be?

That was indeed the original plan.

However, due to what happened at the Tompkins Clinic, although Dr. Leslie did not say exactly how Jaeger subdued the criminal, Bruce still suspected that Jaeger's magical abilities might have increased again.

That's why he canceled his original plan and intended to take advantage of the subsequent contact to update the data in the spreadsheet he had just completed.

【Yeah】: Yes, I was wrong. I shouldn't have made that assumption.

【Great】: So let me correct you. I always have this feeling that even if the Iceberg Club opened, you would still prefer to sneak off with Batman and then bring Commissioner Gordon along.

【Great】: It's clearly a movie for four people, so why don't I have a name?

Bruce Wayne: ...

Why does this person seem so dramatic?

Bruce Wayne: I have a board meeting to attend, so I'm leaving now.

[Great!]: ?

On the other end of the screen, Jaeger couldn't tell whether the other person really had a meeting to attend or was making excuses to run away because of some inexplicable guilt. He could only turn his attention to the social platform that he had just started using and found quite interesting.

Similar to Twitter, which was well-known before the time travel, this social platform called [pingo] also uses short content posting and real-time dynamic information as the main application, and also has similar trending topics, as well as private chat and chat room groups for users to further communicate.

Once Jaeger started scrolling, he couldn't resist and became addicted to the various tweets pushed to his homepage.

For example, in many tweets from the "[Regional Hotspots - Gotham]" section, Jaeger had never felt the simplicity and kindness of the people of Gotham City so directly.

Have you all seen the news? Someone actually impersonated Batman and committed murder.

—Yage immediately recognized that this was a discussion about counterfeits. The post started out as a serious discussion about the news, but then hundreds of comments veered off course to argue about whether Batman actually exists. It's ridiculous.

The gang in xxx street is recruiting new members, hoping to hire members under 20 years old with 30 years of criminal experience.

—Huh? Seriously?

Jaeger was surprised. He scrolled down and found that even with these conditions, a lot of people were actively applying.

As expected of Gotham City, a place renowned for its outstanding people and resources, yet he only has 30 years of criminal experience.

While deeply impressed, Jaeger promptly forwarded the post to Batman's Pingo account.

You're welcome, criminals. It's what I should do.

Auctioning a batarang, starting bid $1, genuine East End piece, the one Batman used to break my leg.

Jaeger: ?

There were indeed a lot of people who wanted this thing. When Jaeger saw it, the price had already reached $10 and was still rising.

Moreover, all the competitors were Gotham IPs, and several of the IDs looked very familiar... Jaeger dared to say that he had definitely seen these people in the thread where they were arguing about whether Batman was real. They were cursing Batman at the time, but then they turned around and started slapping batarangs here.

...I don't really understand you Gotham people.
