Chapter 2471: Battle for the Cloak (Twenty-Seven)
It's not that Barbatos didn't notice the crazy laughter. After all, his level of madness is one of the highest in the entire dark multiverse. But as the saying goes, the past is the past, and the present is the present.
The comics don't say much about the status of the then-recruited Laughing Barbatos, but judging from the subsequent combat situations of Barbatos, the Barbatos Group was always in a state of being short of manpower.
Many readers who have read the comics, after reading the entire plot about Barbatos, were asked to name a few of his generals. In the end, they would mention the Laughing Bats on the front hand and the Court of Owls on the back hand. At most, they would mention Perpetua who cooperated with him. Apart from that, they could not remember anything else.
In other words, Barbatos dominates the entire dark multiverse. After digging for a long time, we finally found the so-called worst version of Batman: The Bat Who Laughs.
But this is not surprising. Judging from the presentation of the dark multiverse in the comics, almost all the Batmans in it are actually background boards for the entire Metal event. The background stories are only for curiosity, and most of them have no beginning or end. Many of them are just forced to follow the fashionable settings. It is already good enough to pick out a general among the short guys.
So at that time, the importance of laughter to Barbatos was self-evident, but since Schiller came, the situation was completely different.
First of all, there is Bruce, this star sent from the sky. Barbatos didn't need to find him himself. He came from a faraway universe to the heartland ruled by Barbatos. Moreover, he came without any effort and did not come empty-handed. He really learned the skills of slaying dragons just to sell them to the imperial family of Barbatos.
As soon as Bruce took office, he showed Barbatos what it meant to have white jade pillars supporting the sky and purple gold beams spanning the sea.
With the power of one person alone, he rectified the group's system structure, advanced the invasion plan of the light universe in an orderly manner, and at the same time did not forget to carry out the dark multiverse investment and integration project, and even found time to launch the dark multiverse autumn recruitment. If Barbatos read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he would also have to praise "my Zifang".
At this time, the Laughing Bat was very embarrassed.
He didn't intend to be a mountain king by staying in his own universe every day. According to his predictive nature, could he not know that the Barbatos people were stupid and rich? Could he not know that he had to rely on Barbatos in the early days to have the capital to stir up trouble in various universes?
In the original comic, Barbatos treated the Laughing Bat very well. He directly gave the Laughing Bat the ability to modify reality, and even allowed the Laughing Bat to pass this ability to his subordinates.
You have to know that this kind of ability is not something that can be obtained casually. Compared with the horde in Marvel, only the top few most powerful personalities in the horde, which can be counted on one hand, have the ability to modify reality. And the horde is an extremely extraordinary existence in the mutant system that has always been criticized for its collapsed combat power.
So, it was not that Kuangxiao could not leave his own universe at that time, but he stayed in his thatched cottage every day just to wait for Barbatos to come and visit him.
As a result, Bruce suddenly appeared and Barbatos did not come. Bruce squatted in his house until his legs were numb from laughing wildly, and there was no sign of Barbatos. This thatched cottage had completely turned into a toilet.
Although the best strategy is for Barbatos to come to him and ask for something from him, the worst strategy is also possible to go to Barbatos himself. Although it may affect the ability to get from Barbatos in the future, as long as he can use Barbatos' channel to enter the main universe, it will not be a big problem.
So Crazy Laugh went to find Barbatos. Of course, Bruce said all this through complaints, but he did not name anyone. He just emphasized that he was already very tired of working in human resources. As a result, Barbatos suddenly threw a resume to him one day for him to take a look.
"Is there anything I don't understand?" Bruce said, "My boss wants to hire someone with connections. What can I do? I can only tell him that the person on this resume is really capable and fits the tone of our company. How about you take a look and let him start work tomorrow?"
King Robin was also a little curious, and he said, "Aren't you worried that he will threaten your position? If it's true as you said, that he is so capable and can make Barbatos make an exception for him, then he will definitely be bossing you around once he takes the position."
"You don't understand this." Bruce waved his hand and said, "If the boss really thinks highly of him, he could just notify me and let him start work. Why give me his resume?"
King Robin also thought of this at the same time, and he said, "That's right, so when he gave you the resume, he actually wanted you to reject it?"
"Of course not." Bruce shook his head and said, "If the boss is embarrassed to reject an acquaintance and wants me to find fault, he will definitely arrange for the other party to come for an interview so that I can reject him. I only find faults in the resume, and in the end, isn't it the boss who rejects him?"
King Robin and little Bruce off-screen both nodded, and little Bruce looked at Schiller and asked, "So what does this mean?"
"You do not know?"
“I’m usually the boss.”
After saying this, little Bruce started to think in another way: if he were the boss, why would he do this?
After a little thought, Bruce suddenly realized, "I may have been optimistic about this person a long time ago. At that time, I thought he was very capable, but the company's situation at that time may be different from now. Although this person is capable, he may not be suitable for the current company's situation. That's why I need my current capable people to check in the future."
King Robin obviously thought of this as well. He didn't know that the paratrooper Bruce was talking about was actually Laughing Maniac, so he speculated: "Of course, it's possible that your boss is worried that you will be unhappy if he recruits this person directly."
"Come on, he's not that humane." Bruce snorted coldly and said, "He's just worried that if he recruits someone here, we'll have conflicts and delay the work."
"Since you said you had no objection at all, why didn't your boss hire him?"
"That's what you don't understand." Bruce said, "The best way for me to not let him in is to agree to it without hesitation."
King Robin and Bruce Jr. both narrowed their eyes. It was obvious that they were a little confused about this aspect.
This has to start with Bruce's performance in battle. Since Bruce graduated from college, he has never defeated any earth-shattering opponents, and it is hard to say whether he has any unique fighting style. But there is only one thing that makes him the most unique Batman in the universe - he is good at palace fighting.
It could be that he stopped being Batman too early and had too much free time, or it could be that he had accumulated too much experience in the years of mutual torture with Schiller. In any case, when it comes to fighting others in a closed environment, no one dares to say Bruce is second to him.
To put it nicely, he is a master of applied psychology and behavioral science; to put it bluntly, he is born to be a manager of a large company.
"What do you think the boss is most worried about?" Bruce asked.
"Didn't you say it? He's worried that you two will have a conflict and won't be able to work properly." King Robin replied.
"He is indeed worried about this, but it is not his biggest worry." Bruce smiled and said, "What bosses all over the world worry about most is the unity of their employees."
"You can have one talented employee, or you can have two talented employees who compete with each other, but you can't have two talented employees who are close and have a tacit understanding with each other. If you have them, you will be the one to leave."
King Robin suddenly realized something again. He said, "I see. You want your boss to think that you and the person he favored before are on the same side. This will make him worry that the two of you will team up to deal with him."
"In fact, this is very likely." Bruce said: "I think the person in the resume he sent over is somewhat dangerous, and he himself may be hesitant."
"If the company is in its early stages, then it doesn't matter if the person has shortcomings. As long as his abilities outweigh his shortcomings and he can lead the entire company forward and develop quickly enough, then any shortcomings are not shortcomings."
"But now that the company has reached a stable period, we must consider whether the damage caused by the shortcomings in the stable system can be compensated by extraordinary capabilities. If it can just make up for it, then we can hire or not. If the ability slightly outweighs the shortcomings, then we tend to hire."
"But unfortunately, if someone's abilities slightly outweigh his shortcomings, but he has the potential to form a clique or set up his own faction, then we must not recruit him."
"But why would your boss think that the two of you could possibly unite based on one statement from you?"
"Of course it's not just because of one sentence." Bruce snorted and said, "It's because we are very similar."
King Robin suddenly shuddered, because he couldn't explain how he felt about Bruce, but he always had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
It was at this moment that he realized where this sense of déjà vu came from - this Batman could laugh.
It's not the disguised shell of Bruce Wayne that's laughing, nor is he laughing deliberately for show; he's laughing genuinely.
What's even more terrifying is that he doesn't just have a crazy smile. He can laugh happily, smile complacently, and sneer in dissatisfaction. He is just like a normal person.
When the last sentence appeared in Robin King's mind, he almost screamed, a normal Batman! ! ! !
King Robin didn't even have time to lament his tragic fate of escaping from the wolf's den and falling into the tiger's mouth. He jumped up and looked at Bruce with almost horror.
And Bruce smiled at him.
"Let's talk about this." Bruce pointed at the poster in King Robin's hand and said, "Although I always complain about the company's shortcomings, our team is still very promising. Come, let me introduce you to our corporate culture."
King Robin swallowed.
But he was soon stunned, because with his wisdom, he immediately guessed that Bruce's boss was Barbatos. Barbatos had previously favored a person who looked very similar to Bruce, but was eventually kicked out by Bruce. And Kuangxiao had nothing good to say about Barbatos when he mentioned him. Does this mean...
The expression on King Robin's face brightened almost visibly.
"Corporate culture... Corporate culture. I am quite interested in your corporate culture." King Robin pressed his upper lip down hard, trying to keep his voice steady as he said, "And your corporate history. I am particularly interested in this part. You have to tell me about it..."
"You're not in a hurry to find your body? Didn't you say there are still many important things inside?"
"It is indeed important, but not that important." Robin King twisted his mouth into a straight line parallel to the ground and said, "I think it is more important to understand our corporate culture."
