098 Black Cat Hero, Assemble!

Li Jie is no longer interested in breaking the legs of Young Master Yang; now, he wants to break his arm.

The only problem is that he doesn't know which hand Young Master Yang uses as his dominant one.

Thus, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, after eating yesterday's leftovers with his two "wives," Li Jie went for a stroll and tagged both Daye Film and Television Chairman Yang Ying and the Luzhou Police on social media: "Chairman Yang, are you left-handed or right-handed?"

"Happy New Year, Brother Crab. Have you heard 'Wang the Immortal's' *Welcoming Spring with a Smile*? I think you should do a cover, Brother Crab."

"Hey hey hey, what's up, brothers! *Welcoming Spring with a Smile* hit the new song trending list first thing this morning. The fans of 'Wang the Immortal' have finally vented their anger. Truly a joyous and congratulatory occasion..."

"WTF? Why aren't you guys talking about what Brother Crab posted?"

"Scared."

"+1 for scared."

It has been two days, and on the bloody section of the internationally renowned video site "Porn-next," various cut films and gore flicks have been feeling a bit lackluster.

Aside from the ruthless killing clips from the battlefield, "The Little Prince of Double Blades in Jianye.avi" has directly topped the weekly trending list.

Ranking second is "The Axe King of Gongyuan Street in Jianye.avi."

In short, while new fans are still confused, no one in the "Ten-Year Hater" group dares to show any disrespect to "Brother Crab" anymore.

Do you want to lose your life?

If you keep yapping, he'll just have you sentenced for "treason."

Finally feeling a bit like a "foster father," Li Jie was quite pleased and sent a twenty-yuan red envelope in the group.

In a group of three thousand people, scrambling for twenty yuan, no one complained that the group owner was stingy. Instead, they all thanked him, saying, "The group owner is generous and dashing," focusing entirely on being flexible.

The "illegitimate sons" of the utility poles whispered in their respective small groups that "Brother Crab" must have mutated.

"@everyone, by the way, why is there no news about Young Master Yang lately? Not even a single report? Is he no longer in Luzhou?"

Li Jie shouted in the group, and a member with the ID "Hulatang is Satisfying" first sent a "shy" emoji, then said, "Brother Crab, private chat?"

"Nani?! Old Hu, the comrades have already said it first: you're on your own if things go south."

"Get lost, don't pressure Old Hu. But I have something to say too—Brother Crab, I'm not that close with Old Hu."

"..."

Li Jie couldn't be bothered with them and sent a message to "Hulatang is Satisfying": "Old Hu, do you have news?"

"It's hard to say, but my dad's workplace hasn't been very busy lately, and they even cleared out an entire building. I wouldn't have thought much of it if you hadn't mentioned it, but now that I think about it, it's very likely Yang Ying is here. Should I have my dad look into it?"

"Don't."

Li Jie quickly stopped him. "This time is different from the last. Don't get involved."

"WTF, Brother Crab, judging by what you're saying, was it really you at the Luzhou Renshou Hospital last time...?"

"I'm naturally gifted with strength."

"..."

"Your dad works at the Kaihuang Sanatorium, right?"

"Yeah."

"Alright, that's enough. I won't look for you, and I won't call you. Delete our private chat later."

"No way, Brother Crab, did you eat a thousand-year-old ginseng?"

"I told you, naturally gifted with strength."

"..."

Because of this episode with "Hulatang is Satisfying," Li Jie suddenly got an inspiration and tagged @everyone in the group again: "I want to make an official 'Gourd Hero' forum. Any takers for the job? The price is negotiable."

"Brother Crab, you haven't mentioned the functional requirements yet?"

"The requirement is that 'Gourd Hero' fans can make wishes..."

"Then I wish for my next surgery to be a success."

"Why don't you wish to be resurrected on the spot with full health and mana? Always dreaming of good things."

Li Jie didn't reveal his true intentions, but having known him for over ten years, the remaining haters knew exactly what kind of mischief this guy was cooking up.

There was no need to think; "Brother Crab" was about to show his true colors and start stirring up trouble.

"Brother Guo" even asked Li Jie, "Are you, motherf***er, trying to test the waters in Luzhou or Jianye first?"

"Heh heh~~"

"Heh heh your ass! Can you stop causing trouble for one day? If you kick the bucket, won't your copyright earnings be confiscated? Why don't you write a will and say that if you die, you leave your copyright earnings to your ten-year die-hard fans!"

It was a stern and righteous plea.

"Since when are you guys 'die-hard fans'? I wouldn't leave my legacy or my benefits to you even if I died. Get lost."

Then Li Jie logged off, because "Brother Guo" had reminded him that he could totally start with a "pilot project."

He had already pulled off two jobs in Luzhou anyway, so continuing on shouldn't be a problem.

Catman is in action!

Man!!!!

Li Jie suddenly found the source of his happiness in the "Ten-Year Hater" group; he knew the damn system still had bugs he could exploit.

[Host: Li Jie]

[Works: "The Greatness of Heaven," "Only Mother is Good in the World," "Orchid Grass"...]

[Talent/Ability: Acting 38, Singing 25...]

[Reputation Value: 234,484,848 (+1,487,448)]

Judging by the change in "Reputation Value," his fixed reputation had increased by about a million, and the floating reputation was even more, approaching 1.5 million.

But that wasn't the point. The point was that Li had discovered he had fallen into a misconception.

Who the hell decided that he had to follow the system's arrangements to increase his reputation?

If he doesn't film *The Black Cat Hero*, does that mean there won't be any reputation for *The Black Cat Hero*?

Of course, the foundation is "Black Cat Hero"; that's the cornerstone.

But *The Black Cat Hero* hasn't even aired yet, and "Black Cat Hero" is still generating reputation.

"The Little Prince of Double Blades in Jianye.avi" was no less effective than a proper promotional video.

So, after chatting in the "Ten-Year Hater" group, the inspired Boss Li felt he could definitely find his own "Alfred."

If Luzhou or Jianye doesn't have a "Bruce Wayne," that doesn't mean it can't have a "Bruce Li."

Hey hey hey!

"Black Cat Hero" is here!

At this moment, Li Jie quickly called Chen Pi and asked him to help scout for a mechanical factory that was poorly managed.

Chen Pi, who had brought his "goddess" home for the New Year, was shaken by the request and immediately sent a voice message: "Master Li, what are you planning to do?"

"Little Pi, don't ask what you shouldn't. Just help me find it first. I have other things to deal with regarding Wang Bo."

After giving Chen Pi his task, Li Jie sent a message to "1000cc Wisdom Seeker": "Brother Wang, can a hybrid motorcycle reach a range of two thousand kilometers while maintaining its power?"

"Just install a set of high-density solid-state batteries and add an auxiliary fuel tank." Wang Bo replied quickly. He was spending the New Year in Jianye with his wife and children, a rare, happy reunion. "Wait, Boss Li, why does a hybrid motorcycle need such a long range? Who's going to ride two thousand kilometers in one go?"

"Which brand of solid-state battery is better to buy?"

"They're all about the same. The civilian version at most doubles the capacity. The high-energy solid-state batteries currently in industrial trial production only hit 720, which isn't ridiculously better than the 510-520 of the civilian versions. This stuff is hard to scale down. Those with the technology are all contractors for the Ministry of National Defense. If you really want both range and power, you can start with the hub motor. A 20,000 or 30,000 RPM motor is enough, but it's easy to 'spiral into the sky.' Too many people have died from reckless modifications every year; just a slight tweak to the throttle can push it to 300 or 320, which exceeds most human limits. That's why inspections are strict now, and only professional clubs are experimenting with it."

Wang Bo was afraid Li Jie would turn from a "Black Cat Knight" into a "Ghost Cat Knight," so he warned him not to joke with his life. For civilian modifications, it's best to respect human limits.

After all, at speeds over 200 km/h, you'd basically take flight if you added wings, let alone hitting 380 or 400. "Flying on the ground" isn't something a normal rider can handle.

Although Wang Bo knew his boss was quite impressive, he still hoped Boss Li would live a long life. If he really wanted to commit suicide, he asked that he wait until after he retired.

Actually, there were other special power sources that could maintain range and power, but Wang Bo didn't mention them because they were too troublesome and prone to exploding like natural gas.

Once again, he truly, sincerely hoped his boss would live a long life.

But Boss Li clearly didn't hear a word of it, as danger followed him like a shadow, and he moved through it with arrogant ease.

"Brother Wang, give me something fierce!"

"..."

Wang Bo didn't want to speak, but after Li Jie sent a large red envelope, "1000cc Wisdom Seeker" replied: "It'll be fierce."

Firm and decisive, without hesitation.

Anyway, as long as he believed his boss would live a long life before he spiraled into the sky, it would be fine.

Life should be faced with a smile.

As for what kind of madness the boss was having, that wasn't something Wang Bo could control. Besides, when he first came, the boss had treated him well with food and drink, and had even promised to let Young Master Yang taste some "good juice."

Now that the internet was rife with rumors that Young Master Yang's legs had been broken, what else was there to say?

Boss Li is awesome!

"Brother Jie, why are you so happy all of a sudden?"

Su Mengyao, who was gnawing on a candied hawthorn, noticed Li Jie was in a particularly good mood and immediately became excited. Could it be that Brother Jie had finally discovered she was going "commando" today?

Su Mengyao waited shyly for Brother Jie's teasing, but Brother Jie just lowered his voice excitedly and said: "Because 'Black Cat Hero' is in action!"

"..."

Yao Yao was unhappy, but she had a good idea: when she got back, she would let "Black Cat Hero" severely interrogate this little glutton.
