Chapter 1345 Infuriating
"Titan's Lair" is a skyscraper dozens of stories high. The entire building has a T-shaped structure. The top ten floors are much wider than the support floors below.
The daily expenses of maintaining a skyscraper and paying taxes on the land the building occupies are a large amount of money. However, this building only houses 5 Teen Titans. If divided equally, it is equivalent to feeding every superhero and excluding them. In addition to wages, millions of dollars are spent every year.
Compared to the self-sufficient poor heroes such as Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Deadpool in the Marvel Universe, the Teen Titans' lives are quite comfortable and prosperous.
Half of the cost of supporting the Teen Titans team comes from the pocket money given by Bruce Wayne, and the other half comes from Dick, with his rich financial knowledge and intelligence, using the huge start-up capital given by Wayne's father to buy and sell in the international financial and futures markets. Earned.
Although this group of talented children are not the real second generation of rich people, they still enjoy the treatment of children from rich families and enjoy favorable conditions, but they lack the motivation to work hard. They want to enjoy life, fall in love, and love like ordinary teenagers. Fighting monsters and enjoying the cheers of the people is called fulfilling.
This is like the rural children in Metamorphosis who exchanged their identities for urban families. Instead of increasing their knowledge and setting more ambitious goals, they indulged in comfort and lost their original simple qualities. They don't know what Batman funded the establishment of such a team. Do you want to educate your children, or do you want to trick them?
The Teen Titans are a team with a very high ceiling, but a very low ceiling. Their ceiling is defeating and sealing the Three Palace Demons, but the floor is when the entire team works together and is defeated by a squirrel.
You know, that's not a super squirrel, it's just an ordinary gray squirrel that can be seen everywhere in the park!
With such huge fluctuations in status, it is obvious that the players in the team are very talented, but the team management and daily training are very poor, which wastes their talents and slowly stifles their talents.
Damian chose to lurk in the Teen Titans team. In addition to dealing with the crisis of the Three Palace Demons and avoiding the unexpected situation of the earth being destroyed by the demon king, Damian also had a longer-term plan, which was to recruit a group of superheroes loyal to him and form a team that could A superhero team that rivals the Justice League.
The ideas of the older generation of superheroes have long been solidified. It is difficult to change their stance. It seems easier to force them to go dark. Damian can only try to train the new generation of superheroes. These teenagers have not been completely eroded by the decadent bourgeois leftist ideas, and the success rate of enlightenment (xi) (nao) is much higher.
In addition, I am just a child myself. If I stand in front of the older generation of superheroes and preach, I will only be despised by them. They will not want to listen to what he said and whether what he said makes sense. On the contrary, peers of the same age can communicate better. Smoother.
Since he wants to take the Teen Titans team that originally belonged to Batman into his own use and build it into the basis of a new force that will dominate the earth in the future, Damian certainly cannot let these children continue to sink. He must wake them up, spur them on, and train them. Let them become noble people, pure people, people who are free from vulgar taste.
If you want to change a person's soul, a combination of physical and chemical means is essential. However, because it is better for teenagers to avoid chemicals, Damian can only rely on physical means to correct his soul.
…
A huge underground space was secretly dug beneath the Titans' lair building, where the Teen Titans' training hall is built. The technology used in the training room is virtual reality projection technology, which can simulate various three-dimensional monsters for trainers to fight.
Damian watched their training a few days ago, which was nothing more than controlling the computer to simulate monsters, then Starfire shoots green light, Raven shoots black light, Blue Beetle puts on alien armor and shoots blue light, Beast Boy transforms into various animals and pounces on them. Bite, crash and stomp, destroying targets with ease and fun, not much different from playing a holographic video game.
The superhero team is trained like this but has to face extremely vicious super criminals. This is the same logic as the fat man who plays chicken games every day and can actually go to the battlefield. That is illogical!
Damian suspected that the influence outside the fourth wall was at work. Young readers of the Hope Country of Origin Earth did not like to see stories about suffering, suffering, and bleeding in order to achieve success, but favored getting something for nothing and just having fun. A relaxing plot about a great hero.
This time the training was completely different under Damian's leadership. The three-dimensional virtual reality machine was not turned on. The Teen Titans members, including Dick Grayson and Starfire, all wore karate uniforms and stood neatly in the center of the hall. They stood in a row and listened to the lectures of martial arts master Damian.
Wearing martial arts uniforms for training was a request made by Damian. He believed that whatever you do, you should dress up in a certain way. Whether it is life or training, there must be a sense of ritual, or at least it should look like that.
Originally, he wanted the Teen Titans to wear Chinese kung fu uniforms, but unfortunately kung fu suits were rare in the Land of Hope. For a while, there was really no place to buy them, so he could only use karate suits instead, which looked nondescript.
Damian could only choose to compromise on this. After all, although he looked like a Chinese, his black hair and yellow skin came from Arab ancestry. He did not have pure Chinese ancestry, so he couldn't be picky about others.
Damian was wearing a black martial arts uniform, pacing in front of the neatly lined up disciples with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he said: "I have also observed your martial arts level in the past few days. It is considered top-notch among ordinary people, but That's all, you even lack the knowledge of a special element of power in advanced martial arts."
"Damian, I have also trained with martial artists from all over the world."
Dick, who has the most superb martial arts skills among the people, said: "They never mentioned that there are any special power elements in martial arts."
"That's because their martial arts is still at the level of 'skills' and has not reached the realm of 'Tao'!" Damian said solemnly: "Do you still remember what I introduced into your body when I was reconnecting your broken arm? That energy?”
Dick nodded quickly and said, "Is that cool energy the special power element of martial arts you mentioned?"
"That's right, I injected 'Qi' into your body."
Damian explained: "'Zhenqi' is the special power element of martial arts, and you warriors who don't ask for a deeper understanding have not gone to the deep mountains and forests of China to find real hidden martial arts masters. That kind of master is not something that Batman throws money at." The so-called 'famous martial arts masters' who can be invited home have to climb mountains or even jump off cliffs in search of opportunities to find them!"
"Does this special energy of 'Qi' really exist in this world?" Dick asked still in disbelief: "Why haven't I heard of any martial arts master who has mastered this mysterious ancient Chinese martial arts power?"
"In the magical world we live in, there are such damn power elements as 'speed force', 'magic power', 'divine power', 'soul power' and 'money ability', but you don't believe in the existence of 'qi'. What the hell kind of logic is this?" ?”
Damian said angrily: "Are you looking down on China's strong heritage? You must know that the China Justice League and the 'Ten Heroes' are only twenty people, which can only be competed by hundreds of superheroes from the entire Justice League! According to I know that among China's 'Ten Heroes' and 'Pseudo God' extraordinary organizations, there are several martial arts masters who can use true energy."
