A mechanical master of a certain manga
Chapter 9 Hell's Kitchen
Rorschach advanced part of his salary from Tony, but it wasn't too much. He couldn't buy a good place in New York, a city where land was scarce.
And SHIELD's salary, hahaha, actually takes two months to get paid.
Advance? nonexistent.
Hell's Kitchen is in the most prosperous area of Manhattan in New York, but this place is a slum-like place, somewhat incompatible with the luxury of Manhattan, as conspicuous as a shadow in the sun.
"Sir, I can't go any further. You can get off here." The taxi driver was not discriminating against Luo Xia, an Asian, but the tattooed men not far away frightened him.
How could it be impossible for people who live near Manhattan to know the famous place Hell's Kitchen? A chaotic place with almost nothing good for it except cheap rent. Of course, if you have the ability to protect yourself, this is a good place. But you have to endure it. If you see a body lying on the roadside every few days, those who are less able to bear it may be forced into depression.
Rorschach did not embarrass the driver, paid the fare and got out of the taxi.
Those tattooed men all smiled maliciously when they saw a strange Asian man appear. In this country, even in other more enlightened places, Asian men almost always have the attribute of being "easy to bully", not to mention that this is a chaotic slum with gangs everywhere.
Rorschach was carrying the suitcase. He had no fear of these gangsters, but he just didn't want to cause too much trouble. After all, he was already very conspicuous after following Tony back from Afghanistan, and if he caused some big trouble, he might attract the attention of SHIELD.
SHIELD is an entity that Rorschach is unwilling to mess with for the time being. At least he doesn't want to have too much contact with it until he has the ability to protect himself.
Fortunately, before these tattooed men could make any move, a rather rich blond young man walked through the crowd and came to Rorschach's side.
"Hello, I am Fergie, Fergie Nelson. You are Mr. Rorschach, right?" The kind-looking fat man said to Rorschach, extending his right hand.
"Hello, Lawyer Nelson." Rorschach shook his hand politely.
"You can call me Fergie." This young man's smile is very friendly, and his temperament can easily win people's trust.
"Foggy, I never thought that renting a room would require a lawyer to come there in person." Rorschach expressed appropriate surprise at this.
In the United States, lawyers are almost synonymous with being expensive. He just searched for a while and chose an apartment that he thought was suitable and planned to rent it.
He never expected that a lawyer would greet him. He would hire a lawyer to draw up a contract for a mere five hundred dollars a month? Even the rent for several years has been lost.
Regarding Rorschach's question, the fat lawyer explained: "The person who rents the apartment is an old woman. Her English is not very good, and I am just doing a small favor."
"Free? This is not like the style of New York lawyers." Rorschach said with emotion.
"It's not completely free. She treated me to a meal of Brazilian specialties." Fergie said with a smile.
"Foggy, you are a good man." Rorschach praised.
"Hearing this reminded me of the first time I confessed to a girl," Fergie joked.
Rorschach was quite fond of this humorous fat lawyer, and Foggy seemed to have a certain status in Hell's Kitchen. At least the tattooed men had no intention of causing trouble to Rorschach after seeing him.
Under the leadership of Foggy, Rorschach successfully arrived at a somewhat shabby apartment and met Mrs. Cardenas, who was from Brazil and could not speak English very well.
The outside of the apartment is a bit shabby, but the inside is quite neat. Mrs. Cardinas is also just a tenant, but she can no longer afford the expensive rent recently, so she plans to sublet the first floor and basement.
Rorschach took a look and found that the place was quite neat and private, and the basement also met Rorschach's requirements.
"The place is good, let's sign a contract." Rorschach said to Foggy.
Fujima took out the prepared contract from his briefcase. Rorschach checked it and found nothing wrong with it. He quickly signed his name and paid three months' rent in advance.
After completing the transaction, Mrs. Cardinas thanked Fergie profusely and looked extremely grateful.
Fergie was hugged hard by Mrs. Cardinas and made a helpless expression to Rorschach: "I'm too popular."
"By the way, Rorschach, we are having dinner at Mrs. Cardinas's house tonight, along with a colleague of mine. You just happened to move in, why don't you celebrate together?" Fergie invited.
Rorschach didn't mind building a good relationship with the neighbors, and seeing how Foggy was enjoying himself in Hell's Kitchen, having such friends would save a lot of trouble.
"That's perfect. I just came to the United States from Afghanistan and don't even have many friends." Rorschach agreed.
"Are you a soldier?" Fergie asked nicely.
"It used to be, but now I have changed my career. I am in the Stark Industrial class." Rorschach introduced himself.
"That's not bad. Being able to come down from the battlefield alive is a blessing." Fergie said sincerely.
The two chatted for a while, and Rorschach excused himself to clean up the house. Fergie and Mrs. Cardinas left in a very sensible manner.
After closing the door, Rorschach carefully locked the door bolt, then walked into the basement and opened the suitcase he received from Tony.
Pieces of palladium elements were sealed in lead boxes. Rorschach took out a piece and held it in his hand.
[Palladium element block, one of the nuclear raw materials, consumes 1000 points of fire source energy and ten equal amounts of palladium element blocks to create an energy activator. 】
Such a reminder appeared directly in Rorschach's mind, which surprised him a little.
You must know that any piece of palladium is enough to support the operation of the Ark reactor for a long time, but it takes ten yuan to build an energy activator. This is no longer a waste of money, it is simply a bottomless pit.
But no matter how expensive it was, Rorschach couldn't give up.
There are a total of twelve palladium elements in this suitcase, which can only create an energy activator. However, Rorschach did not mind it and started to take action.
As the energy of the fire source continued to be consumed, the ten pieces of palladium element caught by Rorschach all turned into blue fluorescence, as if they were broken down into pure energy bodies in an instant.
These magnificent blue light spots rotate and condense into a perfect hexagonal crystal. It looks like the purest sapphire in the world, without any metal components at all. And all the energy seems to be perfectly bound in this crystal, without any radiation energy spilling out.
Rorschach held this hexagonal crystal that looked like a work of art in his hand, and Ma got the corresponding prompt.
