“We need to master the art of air dancing as soon as possible.”
After a successful debut, Hawkeye swiftly dodged into a deserted park on his Flying Nimbus, waiting for the Goku template to finish loading.
The Goku template significantly boosted his combat power, including the speedy flying tool, the Flying Nimbus.
However, due to Goku’s personality interfering, it wasn’t suitable for him to continue fighting criminals and earning justice points. There was a risk that the noble image he had just established could instantly collapse into a foolish one.
Therefore, the ability to fly using Ki, the art of air dancing, was critical.
If he had known the art of air dancing just now, the effect of showing off might have been even better.
But the art of air dancing belongs to the Crane School’s techniques, and Goku, at thirteen, had not yet met Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu and had not seen the art of air dancing, so he naturally didn’t know how to practice it.
This was different from the Spirit Sword and Ki Blast Control, which are about the compression and rotation of Ki and the mental control over Ki blasts, respectively. Those could be figured out by studying the principles behind them, making them not too hard to master.
However, the art of air dancing, which allows one to fly, is a capability that humans still need external tools to achieve, and the principles of air cannot be applied to the study of air dancing.
However, after three years of gradually becoming proficient with Ki, he also had some ideas, believing it wouldn’t be impossible to figure out with a little more time.
Mainly because he had previously focused all his energy on improving his combat power, especially in the study of the Spirit Sword.
With a power level of 75,000, using the Spirit Sword technique, Krillin cut off Frieza’s tail in his second form, which had a power level of 1 million.
If Frieza hadn’t dodged in time, he might have been able to dismember Frieza on the spot.
That is to say, with the power of the Spirit Sword, if it hits, it could at least kill an enemy more than ten times stronger than oneself.
Even Captain Marvel would be in trouble if hit by his current Spirit Sword.
He needed to spend more time on this kind of bug-like technique.
“What a shame about all that money!”
At the same time, he remembered the large amount of US dollars that spilled out of the overturned van.
If he had been faster, he could have wholly taken those dollars away with a transformation spell, but he ultimately gave up to build a better image of himself.
After all, he felt that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
“It’s about time.”
After the Goku template time ended, Hawkeye leaped up and continued his actions for the evening.
But this time, he did not pick, choose, and solve whatever problem he found.
However, after solving them, he would just leave stylishly, not even giving the other party a chance to thank him, nor did he announce his name again.
Shouting the slogan once was enough. Doing it more would seem undignified.
In this way, he continued until five in the morning, solving nearly twenty incidents, from theft to murder.
“The efficiency is still not high enough!”
Standing on the rooftop on the street, Hawkeye looked at the progress bar on his panel and couldn’t help frowning.
The South Bronx area was indeed chaotic, with many different kinds of incidents occurring, but they were all spread out across the city, and many did not happen outside.
Events like murder, home invasion, and gang fights mainly occurred inside buildings, abandoned factories, and basements.
Searching for them by jumping across rooftops took a lot of work.
To improve efficiency, he tried to borrow a police scanner.
However, he found that by the time the police’s pagers went off, many incidents had already concluded. The police often arrived only to wrap things up, which was far less efficient than his efforts in seeking out incidents.
The critical discovery he made was significant.
The justice points he earned from each act differed, and the gap was significant.
Among them, acts that saved lives awarded the most justice points.
For instance, if he caught a burglar breaking into a house, even if the burglar stole a billion, stopping him would only earn a few justice points.
However, if he stopped the burglar from committing a murder, that would earn him a hundred justice points.
This means that petty theft and many acts deemed despicable by the public, if not involving murder, would earn very few justice points.
Even in the case where he made an appearance during a bank robbery, if the robbers had no intention of killing anyone from start to finish and just ran after the theft, catching them would not earn much more justice points than catching someone stealing a lollipop from the roadside.
Another matter was the panel’s judgment on what constitutes justice.
As long as he believed an act was just, it was considered just, which pleased him. However, it also imposed a limitation on him.
That was, he couldn’t deliberately create incidents to farm justice points.
For example, drowning someone and saving them right before death, only to drown them again and repeat the process, would not earn any justice points.
Because harboring such a thought meant he already judged it as an unjust act, done for the sake of justice points, naturally, it wouldn’t earn any.
So, for the next while, he had two things to do.
First, the efficiency of finding incidents should be improved, not just outdoors but indoors as well.
Second, he could only act on some incidents he encountered. Delaying for the sake of earning fewer justice points wasn’t worth it. Petty theft and similar could be ignored; incidents that helped his image and awarded more justice points were the focus.
It may be time to visit Queens and look for Peter Parker.
If he remembered correctly, Spider-Man possessed Spider-Sense, which, in addition to sensing danger, could also keenly detect events within a specific range.
This often caused Spider-Man to be late for work, school, and dates because his moral standards prevented him from ignoring these incidents.
Of course, the abilities of Spider-Men from different universes vary in strength.
But no matter, it would be more efficient than searching alone. If it were a minor incident, he’d let Spider-Man handle it; for more prominent incidents, Spider-Man could inform him to deal with it.
Moreover, if he established an international superhero company, Spider-Man would be among those he planned to invite.
Superheroes with financial advantages, like Tony Stark, were unlikely to join his company, but cash-strapped civilian superheroes like Spider-Man were hopeful prospects.
“Time for breakfast and then some sleep!”
Touching his stomach, he vanished with a few jumps, heading back to the abandoned park in North Bronx from where he first came.
Dawn arrived, darkness retreated, and even the chaotic South Bronx quieted. Staying further was a waste of time; heading back for breakfast and sleep was better.
