Gotham Life: Starting with Four Part-Time Jobs, Western Crossover

A slice-of-life comedy Su Yuewan thinks nobody could have a more colorful work history than hers: the Justice League, the Batcave, Wayne Enterprises, the Avengers, Arkham, the Joker’s gang, and starting her own business by setting up a street stall... Only one of those jobs sounds remotely respectable... It all started when she arrived in the magical place called Gotham. Every parent has told their child they were picked up from a trash can. Su Yuewan heard something similar. Her mom said she was picked up from a river. She didn’t learn until she was nineteen that it was the Child-and-Mother River. The unlucky person who drank from it was one of Gotham’s big bats. Bat dad? No. Bat mom? Uh, maybe. Anyway, Su Yuewan crossed worlds from a cultivation series into DC. Gotham: a city that’s magical in every possible way. On her first day in Gotham, she stole the small change Big Red Bird had set aside for a spicy hot dog and used it to buy herself a meat-stuffed flatbread. On her second day in Gotham, she went from a young woman in her prime to a five-year-old genius darling. On her third day in Gotham, she tried setting up a fortune-telling stall to make money. On her fourth day in Gotham, she received top-tier job offers from the city’s two major powers: Arkham and the Joker’s gang. On her fifth day in Gotham, she began her daily life as the ultimate wage slave. A month and a half after arriving in Gotham, she finally made a dazzling entrance before a captivated crowd. A month and a half and one day after arriving in Gotham, she joined the Wayne family. About the welcome gifts As a student, D naturally received a learning talisman related to studying. D: What does it do? Su Yuewan: Its full name is “The Talisman That Makes You Study Even in Your Dreams.” We have an old saying: “Review the old to learn the new, and you can be a teacher.” So this talisman takes you through your lessons in your dreams every night. Make the most of your sleeping hours. Big Blue Bird: Then what about this anti-lost tether talisman? Su Yuewan: It does exactly what the name says! It creates an invisible tether that you can use to tie up your weapons. Come to think of it, I got the idea from phone charms. I use one of these to tie my phone to things. About night patrol Four little birds: There’s no way a Bat kid wouldn’t want to join the night patrol! Su Yuewan: Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I don’t want to go out at night. Just kick me out of the Bat family! Four little birds: Why? We don’t want you tagging along, but you can’t be completely uninterested! Su Yuewan pulls a paper doll with eyes and a mouth drawn on it from her pocket and hands it to Big Bat. Su Yuewan: I’ll tag along like this. Big Bat says nothing, but takes the paper doll and puts it on his shoulder. Check out my upcoming story Knowledge is something I desire, and so is money. Why not have both?
