Coppert has been having a bad life lately, or from another perspective, he has been having a good life again.

Oswald Coppert, born in the Coppert family, one of the four major gangster families in the East District, was quite wealthy when he was young.

However, when he was young, the pillar of the family, that is, his father, died of pneumonia, and the family has fallen into decline since then.

Now, the era of the four major gangster families in the East District has passed, and he and his mother live in an old house on a street near Living Hell.

His father made some money when he was young, and Mrs. Coppert basically made a living by these savings.

As she grew older, the family's expenses increased little by little. Mrs. Coppert took advantage of her husband's previous favors to find a job for Little Coppert in Mooney.

The Mooney Gang was originally the biggest gangster in Living Hell, but now, their boss, Fish Mooney, is a irritable woman, and no one can disobey her wishes. Coppert is short and has a cowardly personality, and he is very unpleasant to Fish.

Therefore, Coppert was often sent out to serve as a doorman or umbrella for other industries in other streets.

This is not a good job, and being beaten by customers is commonplace. The money earned is not only to the gangsters in the industry area, but also to Mooney Gang. Not much of it falls into Copot himself.

At work, Copper is often humiliated and ridiculed by others. He can only hide aside with a gloomy face and try not to attract the attention of those people. However, he often angers some guests because of his short stature and lack of strength. He is beaten and scolded by the foreman, and when he returns home, he always looks like a chicken.

Copper originally thought that he would have to endure such days for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that Gotham changed a little overnight.

Construction began to be carried out everywhere, and the whole city was recruiting workers, and various industries were short of people. From this change, Copper had worked as a bartender, sweeper, counter and waiter, and other various professions. When he walked on the streets of Living Hell, he would meet someone asking him if he had a job.

Before this, he was working as a waiter in the largest night market around Living Hell. He said he was a waiter, but in fact he was helping people at the barbecue stall on the side of the road, helping to clean the barbecue tray, or opening beer bottles for guests.

Although this job is not easy, it is much better than a kid. One is to make more money, and the other is to often eat the leftovers of barbecue.

Moreover, the guests are usually all kinds of drivers. They are often in a hurry and have to serve a barbecue and beer. They leave after eating. They will never delay and have no time to make things difficult for the waiter. They can occasionally receive some tips.

Originally, Coppert was quite satisfied with such a life, at least he had taken a big step forward, but the subsequent changes were even more unexpected.

Later, the transformation of the Living Hell began. Although Copper did not live inside the Living Hell, he also lived not far away. He watched with his own eyes the crowded and dilapidated city change.

But then, his pace of life was completely changed.

Due to the transformation of the Living Hell, many gangs have set their sights on this fat piece. The Mooni Gang cannot beat four hands with two fists. More gang forces have flocked to this poorest area and divided the area here. The original Mooni Gang has only a little territory in the southernmost place.

After the transformation was completed, the gangsters began to build a management system here, but the problem arose, where did they find so many people who can manage the living hell?

Although this place has been transformed, it is still complicated. These foreign gang bosses themselves cannot understand the terrain here, let alone collecting protection fees or something.

Copper is half a local. He often goes to Hell to buy things. In addition, he was originally a member of the local tyrant Mooney Gang. The gang boss fell in love with him, and Copper began to work with them.

At first, he was responsible for counting pieces at the entrance of the cargo passage, but the little boss in charge of freight found that he was good at math, and even if he counted manually for a whole day, he would not count the wrong number, so he introduced him to the commercial area of ​​Living Hell to collect protection fees.

Because I had worked in a street stall in the night market before, Coppert soon became familiar with the owner of a restaurant in the commercial area and was specifically responsible for transporting ingredients to the restaurant.

Originally, Copper's life had improved a lot here, and he was still a small leader.

Coppert was not even an adult, so he was responsible for purchasing raw materials for a restaurant. You can think of it and it is very common here, which is not common in Gotham.

But this is not over yet. Copper received a good education when he was young and even lived in a wealthy area in the south. Therefore, he could write regular English fonts, was quite talented in mathematics and statistics, and even had quick calculations. This is a rare talent in Gotham!

Not long after, he was taken aback by a leader of a big gang and transferred to the water source management department of Living Hell.

The so-called water source management department is the place where the tap water is connected and maintained and then collects water fees.

It is said that it is a water fee, but it is actually a protection fee. After a gangster gets a section of Living Hell, residents hand over all the water fee to them, and these gangsters are responsible for maintaining the tap water system.

However, the water source of Living Hell after the transformation and reconstruction is not like the previous wells. The modern water supply system is very complicated, with well-connected tap water pipes, various pipes and valves, and several specifications of water meters. The gangsters can't understand these things.

Once, during the process of collecting water fees, the gangs and local residents had a conflict. It was Copper who took a look at the reading of the water meter to stop the possible fire.

That’s right, Coppert is the only one in the entire water source management department that can read the water meter.

So he was promoted to the head of the tap water system in District 2, Living Hell North.

Although it sounds ridiculous, it is true that Coppert's promotion journey is so smooth, not because of how powerful this underage penguin is now, mainly because the others are too terrible.

As the head of the department, life will certainly be better. Copper doesn't even have to wander around in the living hell by himself. He just needs someone to copy the readings on the water meter, and he can accurately determine how much water a household uses and how much protection fee should be charged.

However, not long after such days, the gangsters also discovered that it would not work to rely on a genius like Copot, who cannot produce one of a hundred people, to maintain the operation of the entire system.

So, they began to prepare for the vocational school activities in a vigorous manner.

Gujiang

According to Gotham's second law, when the school venue was selected and the staff was prepared, and even the teachers had been found, the gang bosses realized that they had no students.

The gangsters themselves must not have time to learn these things, and they have enough things to manage.

The middle-level gang members generally don’t know anything about it. They can even spell their names incorrectly. They all smoke, drink, and gamble. They have not transferred their brains for many years, so it’s useless to send them to school.

Therefore, these gangster bosses can only choose among the second generation of black men, or they are children of young young leaders, who are best in their teenage years, and have a strange hobby. As long as they are not drinking or taking drugs, they will be fine.

Even with such tolerant conditions, I couldn't get enough of 20 students.

There was no way, the gangsters could only cast a wide net. Even the wanderers on the street, as long as they were about the same, they would catch them to go to school.

Therefore, Coppert, who has excellent character and academic performance, became the first group of students in the vocational school. As soon as Coppert entered this class, he became the top student who was the first to study.

He was well educated when he was a child. Not only did he look good in handwriting, he was good at mathematics, but he even played a little violin. In this per capita prenatal education environment, he was simply outstanding.

But it is true that he has a bad life.

Although he came to school, the tap water system on his territory was still pointed at him to maintain it. Coppert studied during the day and worked overtime at night. He lived directly in the office these days and did not even have the chance to go home.

Although he is no longer a down-and-out like a slap, he has also become a ruthless overtime machine.

The main theme of Coppert's recent life is just one word, busy.

Because the tap water system in his area is well maintained and his income is higher than that in other places, the boss of the gang plans to hand over area No. 3 to him.

Although this gang is a big gangster, it is far worse than the Twelve families. He does not have the ability to hire professionals, and the entire system is maintained by Coppert alone.

It was the first time Copper knew that the work of sitting in the office was no easier than being outside in the wind and sun.

But it is true that he is doing well.

Copper now fully understands what knowledge means to change destiny.

Because he is good at math, he has been promoted all the way. Not to mention being bullied when he was a disciple, he now manages more than 20 gang members.

Because Coppert didn't need others to calculate for him, others would run errands at most, and the water bills they collected were also given by their commission. Many people like to do this job. They pointed at Coppert and made money, so they naturally praised him very much.

Copper now has a small piece of land of his own, and even saves money, he and Mrs. Copper can move out of the dark old house and find a good apartment to live in.

Moreover, most of the teachers invited by the gang have a headache about the situation here. Before they came, they did not expect that the students they were going to teach would be like this. In this environment, Coppert, who was quick and focused, looked particularly cute.

He looks gloomy? What does that matter? Look at these turtles, they have less than ten metal rings on their heads, and they are considered conservative.

Hawk-hooked nose? He didn't put a string of nose rings on his nose, so he was already paying great attention to his image.

Short height? That's better than the one who has a long butt in the classroom every day and jumps up and down.

Most of the students the teachers like have the same temperament, and Coppert happens to have this temperament.

He seemed a little cowardly and taciturn, which seemed to be unsociable to his peers, but in the eyes of teachers and professors, it was a manifestation of a student who was content with his own self-righteousness.

Facts have proved that the Penguin, who can occupy a place in the future Gotham stage and compete with crazy geniuses like clowns, is of course very outstanding. These courses in the vocational school not only cannot stop him, but also give him a considerable space to play.

Even Victor looked at him a little differently, calling Copot the "lettuce in the carrot field."

When Schiller heard Victor's comments, he was a little amused. It was difficult for him to describe a person who had read the original comics. When he heard the Frozen Man comment that the Penguin was a genius, he felt a wonderful feeling.

He didn't know whether this was a matter of his own arrangement or the mutual appreciation between the villain. In short, Victor and Copper began to gradually appreciate each other.

Copper in Victor's eyes became a studious genius who was untainted by the mud, while Victor in Copper's eyes became a good teacher who treated students equally and did not discriminate against him.

As for Schiller, after he finished that class, he threw all the work of organizing classroom discipline to Victor. He drank coffee and fished in the office of Gotham University every day. Victor was so angry that he called him an old fry.

And Coppert, of course he did not forget that Schiller was a special guest he met at that time.

At that time, Schiller's words and behavior made him have a good impression of the profession of teaching, and now, Victor has proved that reading more books is indeed different.

Copper even had the idea of ​​whether to take the college entrance examination. When this idea appeared in his mind, he felt a little ridiculous.

Taking the college entrance exam? This is a very distant thing for every person at Gotham.
