Chapter 176 59 Mason Cooper! You Take the 35 This Quarter!
Chapter 176 59. Mason Cooper! This quarter’s 3.5 is yours to carry!
Early the next morning, at seven o'clock in the morning, Selena opened her eyes in the luxury box of the Iceberg Bar.
She felt like she had a terrible nightmare. She was caught by a black slime monster, and was swallowed into her mouth bit by bit like food and chewed up.
The pain in that dream was so real that Catwoman could feel herself screaming and begging for rescue.
At the end of the nightmare, it was her dear little brother Mason who pulled her out of the monster's mouth.
"you're awake?"
Mason's gentle voice came from the door, causing Catwoman, who was still a little confused, to turn her head and see the young man walking over with a light breakfast for the patient.
Judging from the smoke and smoke on his body, Mason should have made these himself.
He stepped forward to help Catwoman up and let her lean on the head of the bed. He then sat on the edge of the bed and picked up a bowl and spoon to feed her warm porridge. After a few minutes, Selina sighed and said:
"If you keep being so gentle, I'm going to fall in love with you, little Mason."
"That's too bad."
Mason was already very familiar with the tricks of this nasty big sister who liked to tease little boys. He rolled up his sleeves expressionlessly and said:
"I'm not interested at all in an old aunt who is old and has a bad personality."
"Can't you say something nice?"
Selina rolled her eyes, closed them again, and whispered:
"I did something stupid and got you into trouble, right? I still vaguely remember that monster beat Zha Kang and the other three badly. Are they okay?"
"Charles broke his left leg, and Erbun's hand bones were crushed, but with me as the alchemist here, they will be alive and kicking again. The one who is really in trouble is you, Selina."
Mason didn't hide Catwoman's current situation.
He took out an X-ray film from his pocket, put it in front of Selina's eyes and said:
“Your heart has shrunk by a third, your spleen has almost completely disappeared, and your digestive system has been affected only slightly but enough to keep you on a vegetarian diet for the next half month.
These injuries have begun to recover under the action of the healing potion made from the blood of the unicorn, but for the next week, you will have to drink a bottle of potion every day to ensure that you fully recover.
Let me warn you, the internal healing process is painful.
very painful.
It should be similar to giving birth to a child. In short, you will have a lot to endure next. "
"That damn monster!"
Catwoman cursed in a low voice and said:
"It was tempting me with sweet words, and it promised that it was harmless. I was so obsessed that I agreed to it and accepted it, even though it did save me."
"It actually didn't lie either."
Mason explained while feeding Catwoman:
“It’s just that the symbiote’s understanding of ‘healthy’ and ‘harmless’ is different from that of us humans.
But the good news is that during your recovery, the blood of the unicorn will strengthen your physique, allowing you to slowly surpass the level of a normal person like Erbong.
After you have a superhuman body, the effect of venom on you will be much weakened. After all, that kind of 'symbiote suit' is not for ordinary people.
But as long as you are strong enough, the negative effects will be minimized. "
"Who would wear it again?"
Catwoman sneered and said:
"I'm not stupid."
"But you'll always need it, Selina."
Mason put down the porridge bowl, gave his eldest sister a cut strawberry, and said:
"I got you involved in the bad things between Team K and the Stars Society. I have to be responsible for you, and the same for everyone else. We can't stay so weak. Compared to other ways of gaining power, the symbiote On the contrary, it is a relatively safe one.
There is no such thing as a personality in that thing. They will not actively harm the host because they cannot think without the host. Therefore, whether a symbiote is good or evil does not depend on itself but on the thoughts of its user.
But you really made a three-part deal with Venom in advance.
But what to say?
You can keep a zombie cat like Miss McGonagall as a pet. I believe it will not be difficult for you to tame Venom. Besides, your body has already adapted to it once, so it would be a pity to give up this opportunity. "
Mason's words made Selena nod. A few minutes later, Mason looked at the time on his watch and said:
"You should rest. Barbara will take care of you these days and urge you to take medicine. I have to go to work. I have been absent from work for so long. If I don't go, I will really be fired."
"I don't understand, why do you insist on holding on to that small clinic?"
Selina picked up the vegetable soup at hand and sniffed it, then said in a strange tone:
"I do know that there are many beautiful and lovely nurse sisters there. What? Are you feeling passionate?"
"Of course it's not such a strange reason."
Mason shrugged and said:
"It is for a greater cause and the simple ideal of saving lives and healing the wounded, and of course, in-depth study of first aid techniques so that we will avoid irreversible casualties when we encounter danger in the future.
Magic is amazing, but it can't solve all problems.
Also, Judy was sent to our world by the Afterlife Team as a liaison representative. The child may come to see you. I mean you should restrain yourself. "
Mason whispered:
"Don't really cause any emotional disputes. Everyone knows that your charm is for both men and women."
"Hey, don't underestimate me."
Catwoman grabbed the cup on the bedside and threw it at Mason. The captain easily caught it in his hand. He smiled and said goodbye before closing the door and leaving, leaving Selina to recuperate alone.
The eldest sister leaned on the head of the bed and covered her face as she recalled what happened last night. After a few minutes, she let out a long sigh.
Why would I be obsessed with accepting the symbiote that is not a good thing at first sight? What was my mental state like at that time?
Could it be that he was also dissatisfied with his status as the poster girl of Team K and wanted to really help?
No way.
I have always been a pacifist.

"Mason Cooper! Do you still have the nerve to come? How many days have you been on duty since you have been working with me for more than a month?"
In Dr. Leslie's office, Mason is being scolded by his boss in her office.
But this time he deserves no sympathy.
Because his number of absences is indeed too outrageous, that is to say, Dr. Leslie does not need to pay him a salary, otherwise Mason would have to deduct a penalty for working here for the last month based on this perfect attendance number.
"You don't have to come if you don't want to, Mason. To be honest, I know you are a non-staff member of the Bat Family. You must have your own secret affairs, and I don't want to ask more."
After losing his temper, Dr. Leslie, who was cold-faced but warm-hearted, also sighed.
The doctor lady, who was no longer young, sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, and said softly:
"You are a very good young man, excellent in all aspects. I just want to give you some advice. Maybe you should focus on certain careers instead of spreading your energy.
Everyone else in the clinic has a good impression of you, but your sudden disappearance and reappearance three or two days later will make it difficult for me to run my clinic. "
"You can consider me a volunteer."
Mason didn't have much psychological pressure.
He sat opposite Dr. Leslie and said seriously:
“I don’t need salary or benefits anyway, I really just want to do what I can to help others practice my skills in treating diseases and saving lives.
I am now very skilled in the suturing technique you taught me. Do you want to show it to you again? "
"No need."
Dr. Leslie snorted and said:
"I know only too well how talented you are in this area. However, what are you doing after disappearing for so long this time?"
"Make medicine."
Mason took out three bottles of potion from his arms and placed them in front of the doctor.
Dr. Leslie originally disliked these nonsense things, but Mason was an exception. The burn and scald ointment he sent to the clinic has now almost become the clinic's signature.
Last week, patients from Star City and Chicago came here.
"These three bottles of potion seem different from the previous ones?"
Dr. Leiris put on her glasses and carefully observed the potion that Mason took out. Although she was not a professional, it was not difficult for her to understand the medicine and found that the medicine this time must have some background.
"Yes, these are high-grade potions."
Mason picked up the white potion and explained:
"This bottle is called 'White Honey'. Don't be fooled by the name. It is actually a highly effective detoxifier. Its effect can not only remove most toxins within ten minutes, but also treat patients with sequelae due to poisoning.
Even in magical circles, this potion is rare.
It took me a lot of effort to refine it. I hope you can cooperate with me in completing the clinical trial of this potion. I need some data to adjust some of its proportions. "
"It doesn't sound scientific."
Dr. Leslie pushed up his glasses and said:
"It can be effective against most poisons? Isn't this too versatile? Doesn't it have any shortcomings?"
"have."
Mason said truthfully:
“Although it can be detoxified, it is also highly toxic in its own right.
This thing is not for ordinary people, so when using it, it must be mixed with physiological saline or glucose in a ratio of at least one to fifty.
Bezoar powder must also be added to suppress toxicity. "
"Well, in this case I can probably understand how it works. Fight fire with fire."
Dr. Leslie nodded, looked at the remaining two bottles of potion, and said:
"What's their effect?"
"This is called a 'troll'."
Mason pointed to the potion on his left and said:
"It can effectively accelerate the recovery of vitality. It is very good to use on seriously injured patients, but it is also poisonous and needs to be diluted. This is only done during practice.
What’s really cool is the bottle on the right. "
The young man showed a mysterious smile. He took the bottle of pink potion on his right hand and handed it to Dr. Leslie with both hands. He whispered as if sharing a secret:
"This is what you need most! It's called 'Beauty Potion', as you can tell from the name, it can help women rejuvenate their hair, effectively smooth wrinkles and maintain skin, and it can also improve endocrine.
It is said that you can even lose weight if you drink it regularly.
The only disadvantage is that this effect is short-term, so once you start drinking it, you have to keep drinking it, one bottle a week, otherwise it will return to its previous state. "
"Um?"
Dr. Leslie, who was always calm, couldn't sit still now.
She looked at Mason like one of those scammers selling the miracle drug Dali Pill, but considering Mason's "good credit" in the past, the doctor still took the potion with suspicion.
She looked it over in her hand and said:
"How to use this thing?"
"Drink it directly, or of course you can put it in a small bottle and spray it as perfume."
Mason shrugged and said:
"It depends on your preference. I added some gardenia essence to it. I know you like this aroma. Well, old Gordon also likes it."
"Shut up!"
Dr. Leslie blushed and slapped the table and said:
"I have nothing to do with Gordon! It's just that Barbara's incident has made him very painful, so recently I will provide him with psychological intervention regularly to prevent the old guy from suffering from mental illness. Yes, I admit that we are We went out for two meals together, but that was just the patient's gratitude to the doctor!
There is nothing wrong between us!
Mason!
You are not allowed to talk nonsense! "
"Ah, yes, yes, innocent, I understand."
Mason did not discuss this issue with the naughty doctor in front of him. He knew that the story between Dr. Leslie and Commissioner Gordon was complicated.
Barbara was told that they had a child when they were young, but...
In short, it is a very complicated love story of the elderly, and Mason, a young man, has no way to get involved in this kind of thing.
On the one hand, he sent the beauty potion to prove that he was not absent from work to do other things, and on the other hand, he also wanted to please his superiors.
After all, it's not easy to find a place like the Leslie Clinic where Mason can freely practice first aid and cooking skills in Gotham, unless Mason plans to try his career as a black market doctor.
But how can he have that time when he has to travel through other worlds?
"Then I won't disturb you anymore, I'm going to get busy."
Mason stood up, said goodbye to Dr. Leslie, turned around and left the office to continue his career as a nurse.
Thanks to the endless gang wars and the endless ravages of super villains in Gotham City, there is no shortage of patients here. Mason ends his day in a busy way.
He felt that after another week of practice, his first aid skills would break through to Level 5.
It's really gratifying.
But this happy mood did not last long. After Mason returned to his cabin from work and saw Harley Quinn covered in blood and still waving a baseball bat with a nail head and bragging loudly to Poison Ivy, He got a headache.
Since my patient let himself go, he has become more "free" in his actions.
Although it has not reached the level of the real Harley Quinn who cares about human life, in the few days since Mason left, Harley Quinn has unified the small gangs in several nearby blocks.
Judging from her eagerness to take the plunge, she was already planning to step out of the crime alley and move into the wider black zone.
"You take the pill like this!"
Mason took off his coat and hung it on the clothes pole. Harley Quinn, who was spinning around him excitedly telling her heroic stories about how she had beaten the heads off several bastards with a stick today, sighed and said:
"Did you not take your medicine on time again? You are so naughty, Harry."
"I ate!"
Harley, whose face was still stained with blood, retorted vigorously and triumphantly, as if taking her medicine on time was some great achievement.
Poison Ivy beside her also nodded silently.
She has seen the changes in her best friend. Although Harley's current mental state is a bit worrying, at least she is happy now.
Yes.
As happy as a psychosis.
"I met some great friends this time out."
Mason rolled up his sleeves and walked to the basement, and said to Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn following behind him:
"They have a magical way to treat schizophrenia like Harley. They only need to implant a small emotion control chip in her brain to restore her sanity and lead a normal life again.
You two think about it.
I was serious.
Harry's condition can only be prevented by potions and psychological treatment from getting worse. If he wants to cure it, he has to do some hard work. "
"Huh? Put something in my head?"
Harry's eyes widened, he held his head in fear and said:
"No! I refuse! You can just tell me what I did wrong, Mason, you can't use this method to turn me into a fool, right? The more I listen, the more I feel like this is like a frontal lobe removal surgery."
"I'm not kidding."
Mason emphasized:
"That is really a very effective treatment method. You will know after you meet her in a few days. Now, I have to check Ivy's alchemy level.
I have a new job for you, Ivy.
But I declare in advance that you can refuse, because this life is very dangerous.
It's not even just dangerous. "
