Chapter 2560: Whistling Down (XVIII)

Chapter 2534 Xiao Xiao Down (XVIII)

"I'm a magician." Raven said very bluntly.

"No, I mean, what you just did was magic?" Killer Croc stretched out his claws and gestured.

"That's telekinesis, which is also one of my abilities. It's the best ability I can control at the moment." Raven sighed softly, turned around and sat back to continue watching TV.

Killer Croc's eyes lit up, and he said: "Can this ability be learned? Can I learn telekinesis?"

"You can't." Raven continued to answer coldly: "This is a bloodline ability. Unless your father is also a big devil, it won't work."

"I don't know who my father is, but it won't be a crocodile anyway." Killer Croc shrugged and said.

At this time, Raven was suddenly stunned. She stood up again, turned back and looked at Killer Croc carefully and said: "You mean your parents are both human, but you look like this?"

Killer Croc nodded.

"Reversion to ancestral blood?" Raven said thoughtfully: "Reversion to ancestral blood usually does not only change appearance. Do you think you are different from ordinary people?"

"Does my strength count? I rarely feel tired and can last for a long time without eating a lot."

Raven shook his head and said: "It must be more than that. Animal-type reversion to ancestral blood usually comes from the blessing of animal gods in ancient times. Goddess Azhe told me that in the era when humans still needed the protection of various gods, many beast gods blessed powerful warriors in the tribe."

"These warriors will have some appearance of beasts, and even They can directly transform into beasts. They will have great power and some magic of beast gods, leading the tribe to defeat the wilderness and continue their bloodline. "

"However, the reproduction speed of human beings is too fast, and this precious bloodline has been diluted generation after generation, so it is basically not seen now, but there will be some lucky people who suddenly awaken the ancestral bloodline."

"You mean I can also do magic?"

"If you are the owner of this kind of ancestral bloodline, you should know some magic. As for why you can't, I don't know. If the high priest is here, he may be able to see it. "

Raven thought Killer Croc He would be a bit frustrated, after all, he seemed to be very interested in magic, but the big guy was not discouraged at all. He said: "It doesn't matter if I don't know how to do it, it will be fine if you can do it, right? Have you been looking for a job recently?"

"Someone gave me a job." Raven answered truthfully: "Work as a porter in a bookstore."

"That's right!" Killer Croc snapped his fingers and said: "It's a porter, you are so suitable to be a porter."

Then he rubbed his two huge claws, and even said a little embarrassedly: "Well... I also want to open a moving company, and I only need a little money to rent a storefront, but I am alone. Moving people will take a bit of time, you see..."

"I can work anywhere, but I've already promised them." Raven said, "And I'm very dangerous. I have a huge amount of energy in my body and I could explode at any time."

"Explode?" Killer Croc thought for a moment and said, "I have a friend who is also good at explosions. I'm going to have dinner with him this afternoon after work. How about you try it this afternoon?"

Raven said, "I'll make a call first."

Raven called the Forgotten Bookstore, but it was morning and the cafe downstairs must be very busy, so neither Constantine nor Zatanna answered the phone.

Although they said they were going to work in the bookstore, they didn't say when they would start work. She felt that the current house was very good and she could watch TV. It would be terrible if she couldn't pay the rent and had to move out.

Raven thought for a moment and said, "If I work for you, will you pay me?"

"Of course, but the premise is that you must be able to move at least half of the things, and you must be steady and fast. You must not break anything and you must not talk nonsense. I can give you half of the money."

Raven nodded and said, "Then I can try."

After that, she stretched out her hand, and the few pieces of furniture that had not been moved at the door all floated up, steadily passed through the entire first floor of the house and came to the back garden. They fell on the ground in a staggered manner and were classified according to size and color.

Killer Croc was even happier. He moved these large pieces by himself, and he had to go back and forth several times for a few pieces. He was not easy to get tired, but he would also have a sore back after moving for a whole day.

More importantly, it was too slow. He could only move two houses a day at most, and if he worked overtime, it would be at most three. But with this little girl, I'm afraid he could move one house in an hour. Even if the distance was taken into account, he could move more than ten houses a day.

As for whether the process is a bit mysterious, people in Gotham don't care about this. It's better to say that moving without touching the furniture is a selling point. Before, some employers were worried that his scales would scratch the precious furniture, but this time there is no such problem at all.

"You haven't had breakfast yet? As a welcome gift, I can make you a big meal, but I may have to borrow the kitchen here. I'll call the professor."

Schiller was eating a sandwich during class. When Killer Croc called and said he wanted to borrow the kitchen of his new house to make breakfast for himself and Raven, he seriously considered whether to fly back directly to eat ready-made food.

But because there are still some things that need to be adjusted in the new classroom, and several students are adjusting the wall decorations and bulletin boards, he has to keep an eye on it to prevent any clever ghosts from tampering with the class schedule. Finally, he sighed and had to give up.

Killer Croc is showing off his cooking skills in the kitchen of the new house. Although the original manor kitchen is more suitable for him in terms of area and furniture size, the new house has many modern kitchen utensils, pots, pans, and ovens, so his skills can be put to good use.

He basically cooks home-cooked dishes for the lower-class people in Gotham, stewing fish, toasting bread, and stewing everything with cream cheese, and then a lot of chili peppers. Soon the strong aroma permeates around the house.

The taste of Gotham's local cuisine is rich and spicy. The lower-class laborers who do heavy physical work need more caloric seasonings and rich protein. As long as these two are combined together, it is a dish.

Think about it, you can know that Raven eats relatively light meals in Azeroth, which can be said to be life-sustaining meals. He was soon attracted by this strong aroma and couldn't even watch TV.

She sat at the kitchen island and sniffed. As dishes were served one after another, she couldn't help swallowing.

"Come on." Killer Croc washed everything, washed his hands, got himself a plate of the largest size, and swallowed a large piece of bread in one bite.

Raven stared at his throat with some curiosity. She knew that crocodiles eat everything raw and can't chew. What about crocodile people? If they can't chew, won't they be able to taste it?

But Killer Croc seemed to have answered this question many times. He said, "I have a row of real teeth similar to those of humans behind my teeth, hidden under my tongue, which can be used for chewing, but it is more laborious than normal people, so I just chew it twice and swallow it."

"Maybe it's because my tongue is longer and my taste cells are richer than humans. In fact, I can taste more flavors than you. And because I don't sweat, I like to eat chili peppers. That feeling is too exciting."

Raven tore a small piece of bread and dipped it in the cream soup in front of her. The soup obviously contained a lot of cream cheese. As soon as it entered her mouth, the milky aroma was fragrant and the bread was chewy.

Raven has never had worldly desires. She has no special desire for food, clothing, housing and transportation. She just wants to live, but she has to admit that this kind of food is more delicious.

The two finished breakfast as quickly as possible. Killer Croc washed the dishes and put them into the dishwasher to wash them again. After cleaning the kitchen and wiping the water on the ground, the two were ready to set off.

It was not until she got on the moving truck that Raven realized that since Schiller came, the restless energy in her body seemed to have settled down a lot. Is there anything special about this professor?

The car soon drove to the home of the first employer. This was obviously an old employer of Killer Croc. He was very familiar with him. The two hugged each other. Killer Croc introduced to the employer: "This is my cousin of a distant relative. She is a little strange like me, but it doesn't interfere with the work. You just watch."

Killer Croc gave an order and Raven raised her hand. This time, it was not just one or two pieces of furniture. All the furniture to be moved floated neatly into the air, arranged according to size, and floated into the truck compartment one by one.

The employer was obviously surprised. Killer Croc explained to him whether it was magic or telekinesis, but the effect was really good.

No matter how good the moving company is, it still needs people to move. As long as people move furniture, it is inevitable that there will be wear and tear. After all, it has to be picked up, carried, and put down, and it has to sway in the car for so long, so bumps and bumps are inevitable.

But this method will give people a sense of security. Although you still have to swing in the car, it at least reduces the bumps when lifting and putting down. Especially for some popular electronic products with screens, such as plasma TVs, the most worrying thing is that the screen will be damaged when lifting and putting down. If you use telekinesis, there will be no such problem.

Killer Croc obviously also discovered this. He knew that if this was the case, their moving company could go the high-end route and specialize in moving those extremely expensive TVs, computers, and large screens. The transportation fee for these things is very high. If they can get a big order from a company, they will be sent.

But it is not good to just point to this little girl. People will always get tired. It would be great if there were more similar magicians who could do this business. They don’t know how profitable it is.

Killer Croc was thinking and complaining to Raven on the way. He said, "People always look down on such physical work, thinking that it is neither labor-intensive nor profitable, and is something that only low-level people would do. But in fact, the money I earn now is much higher than those white-collar workers in the building who have had their salaries cut."

"It is easy to get tips for such heavy physical work that directly meets customers. If I meet a generous employer, a tip is enough for me to eat for several days. They actually look down on it, huh."

Soon the car arrived at the destination, and after unloading the goods, they settled the bill. Raven looked at the money in Killer Croc's hand with some surprise. He only made 30 US dollars for this trip.

If he can earn 60 yuan by running two trips a day, he can earn nearly 2,000 yuan a month regardless of weather conditions. This does not include tips. Even if necessary expenses such as vehicle maintenance and gas are deducted, the net profit is close to 2,000 yuan.

Before the second Great Depression, a hamburger at McDonald's only cost 60 cents, and it would be cheaper to buy a meal. Although the price has increased now, a strong man of this size can eat until he is full without spending five dollars. Even if he eats like this three times a day, he can save more than a thousand dollars a month.

Now Raven knows why he wants to open a moving company.

Blue-collar workers in the 1990s in the United States were really the best.
