Cobot is no longer young, and the image of the skinny little umbrella boy that Schiller first saw him is getting further and further away.
Because he got a stable job as a teenager and had no worries about eating and drinking with the Falcone family, Cobot's growth period was not delayed and he successfully grew to 1.8 meters, although he was not as good as those strong men with double doors.
He's so big, but he looks like a normal person, not short or fat.
Because his temperament is not so gloomy, his hooked nose is no longer so annoying, but his firm and steady eyes are easier for others to notice.
If I had to describe his appearance, he would be relatively ordinary, with normal height, normal appearance, and normal clothes. He would be the kind of person who would not be found in a crowd of people.
However, this image also has an advantage, that is, when he was running for mayor, he was relatively close to the people. Now that the economic situation is not good, everyone needs a mayor who can understand the people at the bottom. Cobot has an advantage in this regard.
But the only worrying thing is his gang origin, which he himself has not shied away from, and now there are many people in the city who want to completely distance themselves from the past and think that Cobot may once again lead the city into the abyss of gangs.
.
But overall, Cobot still has the advantage. If things continue to develop like this, he has a high possibility of becoming mayor.
But there are no external troubles but internal worries. Copot's mother is completely opposed to his running for mayor. After listening to Copot's account, Schiller wrote in the notebook in his hand "Persecutory delusional tendencies, excessive fantasy tendencies, and some
anxiety disorder”.
"This is also a common problem for schizophrenia patients after they recover." Schiller said: "The once-fragmented spirit is glued together, and the stability is naturally not as stable as ordinary people. A small fluctuation may trigger a huge reaction.
."
"So can it be cured?" Cobot asked.
"A psychiatrist cannot be a lobbyist to ask someone to support your decision. I can only say that I can bring her back to her senses, but whether she supports you after that can only depend on your own performance."
"That's enough." Cobot said: "My mother has always been very supportive of me, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today, but it may be that people close to me who are in politics will give her some bad memories..."
Cobot shook his head and said: "She always said that my father changed from the day he entered politics. He became stubborn and did not listen to others' opinions, otherwise he would not..."
"Well, this is all cliche and meaningless." Cobot said: "I'm waiting for the good news about your housewarming. Please don't forget to invite me to the housewarming party."
Schiller stood up and said: "There won't be a grand banquet. It may be a small gathering between acquaintances. If you are willing to honor me, I will send an invitation."
Cobot left quickly, but before leaving, he left a sum of money. It was not the fee for his mother's subsequent consultation, but the cost of the last time he and his mother got a prescription from Schiller. The money was not much.
, just over 1,000 US dollars.
When Cobot had no money, Gordon had been paying for the medicines for him and his mother, while Schiller wrote prescriptions for free. Later, when he had money, he gave Gordon a manor in the North District.
Of course, this dedicated police detective usually lives in the police station. The main reason is that the manor is too big and he is very scared to live alone. In another universe, his daughter Barbara got better after coming, and his girlfriend Barbara
It will be better after Bara comes back.
But later, after Barbara found a job, she moved out, and Gordon moved back to the police station.
Cobot did not give Schiller any valuables, but only paid the previous prescription fee and the subsequent ones according to the price. This made Schiller feel that it was not unreasonable for Cobot to be able to get to where he is today.
Gordon paid for his medicine, but Gordon's income was not high at that time. It was actually a lot of money for him to pay for two extra people's medicine. Although Victor took care of him in life, just paying for it was not enough.
Money is not an easy thing either.
But writing a prescription is a piece of cake for Schiller. After all, he is a professional doctor. Schizophrenia is not a particularly difficult and difficult disease to treat. As long as you can afford the medicine, maintaining a normal life is not a problem.
Writing this type of prescription requires basically no mental effort, just follow the normal process.
Therefore, Copot paid Schiller his due reward, but made sure to give extra gifts to Gordon because the difficulty of helping him was different. In fact, Gordon paid more.
Schiller's social status is higher. If he gives Schiller and Gordon the same remuneration, it will easily appear that Schiller's status is more important and more helpful to him, so he pays more. In fact, it is for the sake of
Deliberately fawning and clinging.
If you want to put it this way, there is no problem. After all, when a small person climbs up, he pays attention to flattery.
But Cobot is a smart little guy. He understands that sometimes currying favor with one person is equivalent to offending another person, and the person he flatters may not be able to help him more than the person he offends will do to him in the future.
, he wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.
If he gives Schiller and Gordon the same remuneration, or even gives Schiller more, then Gordon will definitely be sad. Even if the righteous police chief rationally does not let him care about this, people are all emotional animals and will be disappointed.
If you do it too many times, your heart will naturally become cold.
So Cobblet adopted a more compromise approach, which was to not use extra money to curry favor with Schiller, but also to give Gordon enough remuneration to keep the standard even.
Although on the surface this seems to be the golden mean, neither party will be offended and the opportunity for promotion is lost, but in fact, flattering others depends on whether they are willing to be flattered.
Schiller is obviously not a person who likes to deal with favors. If Cobot doesn't fawn over him, it will be a help to him, so this is actually a win-win situation, Cobot wins twice.
When Copot asked Schiller to provide psychological counseling for his mother, clearly stating that he came after hearing about Schiller's financial situation from Victor, Schiller was nodding.
Although he needs to make money through psychological counseling, he can't force counseling on a person who has no problem, right? Not only will this make him sit on pins and needles, but he will also owe Copper a favor and he doesn't know how to repay it.
Fortunately, Cobot never did such blunt things. His mother did have a psychological problem. Maybe it was not that urgent and could be cured or not, but anyway, he was not short of money, so it would be better to let Schiller cure it.
But this could be regarded as a favor to Schiller, but he soon gave Schiller a chance to return the favor, which was to hint that Schiller invited him to the housewarming party.
Schiller understood exactly what this meant, and said that there was no grand banquet, just a private gathering, which meant "I treat you as one of my own, and my connections are naturally your connections."
Cobot's last payment for the prescription was also a way of saying, "Don't worry, I will still pay the due remuneration, and there will be no extra favors."
This comforted Schiller very well, because although he would have to deal with many unfamiliar patients later, he would feel very anxious when he thought about the complicated interactions of welcoming and sending patients, and then you sing and I go on stage.
After all, this is not something that ordinary people should worry about. He has not yet fully become an ordinary person. We will talk about the upper class later.
Although Schiller always calls himself an ordinary person, he doesn't have the opportunity to be an ordinary person most of the time. Come on, this is Gotham. If you really try to be an ordinary person according to the past standards, you will be dead.
In addition, the maniacal laughter has been lingering behind him. Before, Schiller didn't quite know how strong he would be in reality, so his heart was always hanging. He couldn't even become an ordinary person one day.
I don’t care about the shit thrown at me.
But it's better now. The situation in Gotham has improved. You don't need to know so many outrageous survival skills to survive. Laughter finally showed up, making Schiller understand that shit is shit, and it's best to let it ferment and rot in the pit.
Don't pay too much attention to the ending.
So now he finally has the opportunity and the mood to really try the life of an ordinary person.
Of course, one thing that must be mentioned is that because of the above pressure, Schiller had to contact many people, including Bruce and Victor on the DC side, Batman, Superman, etc. on the main universe, and the bad guys on the Marvel side.
Quadratic, mutants, Asgard and the like.
Although it was all for planning, it greatly strengthened Schiller's connection with other people, and one of the manifestations of autism cure is the ability to connect with people normally.
Regardless of whether it is forced or voluntary, once the connection is established, it is difficult to break off. The emotional connection continues to occur, and naturally it is difficult to withdraw as easily as before.
The improvement of Schiller's condition was the main reason why he could really try to live an ordinary life.
Talking about the current situation, if he can really buy the house at such a low price, Schiller may even consider not paying a down payment, but directly buying it in full.
However, the full payment is still a bit short, and Schiller will have to face the hell-level challenge of autism and even introverted personality - asking friends to borrow money.
This was the final step, and Schiller didn't even include it in his plans. He threw the solution behind him in an evasive manner, still intending to try to make money on his own.
The money left by Copot was of little help to Schiller's plan to buy a house, because the houses in the South Side were too expensive.
Then it was completely dry.
It was now dark, and Schiller decided to deposit the money in the bank before going to the so-called haunted house.
Schiller planned the route in his mind. He remembered that when driving from the manor, he would pass by a very busy commercial street. The bank there was open 24 hours a day, so he could deposit money directly on the way.
So he drove towards the commercial street and soon found the largest bank in the middle, which was also the bank where most of his deposits were located.
Schiller walked into the bank with his bag and found that there was no one in front of the counter and there was no need to queue up, so he simply found an empty counter and sat down. As soon as he handed over the bank card and money, he heard a roar from outside the door.
"Rob the bank! Squat down with your head in your hands!! Put the money and bag on the table!!!"
Hahaha, ordinary people are like this
(I saw amomum villosum on the street in the United States, but luckily it didn’t kill me)
