Superman's Journey

Chapter 90 Superhuman Contest
"Mr. Lin, we are in trouble."

"What? Trouble?" Lincoln looked up at Ashley, spread his hands together, then closed them, and said with a smile, "Tell me, what trouble do I have?"

"No, it's not you, it's the Water Group."

Ashley stepped forward with a document report: "The survey data show that because the Invisible Man hasn't appeared for too long, the public's approval rate for him has begun to drop sharply."

"The public relations department has formulated and implemented a variety of public relations measures, but the results are not very good. The popularity of the invisible man is still declining steadily. If he does not appear again, we may eventually lose the relevant market for the invisible man"

"Then lose it." Lincoln looked at Ashley with a calm expression: "A guy who is naked and invisible all day long, except for those voyeurs, will anyone really like this guy?"

"Uh..." Ashley didn't know how to respond for a while, and she was silent for a moment before she spoke: "If we lose the invisible man, our direct economic loss may reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars."

"So?" Lincoln looked at Ashley calmly, "What do you mean?"

Ashley swallowed, and then said cautiously: "If possible, can you find him out."

Lincoln looked at Ashley with a half-smile, until she wanted to take back what she had just said, then suddenly stood up and walked to the huge French window in the office.

There was a little golden light in his pupils, and Lincoln's eyes just swept casually, and then locked his eyes on an open space in the distance: "See there?"

Ashley followed Lincoln's pointer and looked over: "I see."

"It's right there, find someone to dig in there, it shouldn't take long to dig it out."

After finishing speaking, Lincoln walked past her, sat back on his seat, and calmly looked at Ashley who had been completely stunned: "Next, let's talk about what else you have to do."

Lincoln's voice pulled back Ashley's thoughts, and she looked at Lincoln in a dazed and shocked way: "The invisible man, is he already dead?"

"Or else?" Lincoln spread out his hands: "Do you think a living superhero will be buried underground for days without moving?"

"Fuck" Hearing the answer given by Lincoln, Ashley felt her eyes suddenly go dark, and her legs felt a little weak under the sudden change in blood pressure. After a while, she regained her composure and took out a new document.

"The medical department has made a judgment on the injury of the locomotive. Although his bones and muscles have healed during the follow-up treatment, his heart shows signs of hypertrophy."

"At present, the doctor is still unable to determine what caused this, but the locomotive is very likely to have a heart attack during a subsequent speeding run."

"If this happened when he was fighting criminals, it would be fatal! Not only for the locomotive, but also for the share price of Vault."

"We discussed it and came up with a career plan for Locomotive - gradually downplaying him from superhero affairs and announcing his retirement at some point in the future."

"This requires your signature."

Looking at the document in front of him waiting to be signed, Lincoln pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Do you remember how many members of the Super Seven are still there?"

"Of course." Ashley said without hesitation, "Motherlander, Queen Maeve, Deep Sea, Starlight, Black Color, Invisible Man, and Locomotive."

Just after she finished speaking, Ashley was stunned again: "Uh, the invisible man is dead, and the countdown to Locomotive's career has also begun, so we need at least two superhero candidates next."

"The people in the affairs department will prepare a whole new process to select the members of the new Super Seven, which will be presented to you directly. Of course, if you want, you can also directly choose one you like, and we will Packaged the perfect image for him."

"Non-determined? I don't like it." Lincoln chuckled, pushed out the document in front of him, and stood up: "I thought about it, this decadent set of Vought Group should make some changes to adapt to the times."

Ashley glanced at the documents on the table, and followed Lincoln: "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"I mean, change the boring Super Seven audition process, it's not fun at all, we should change it to a more interesting way to select the really strong Super Seven."

"Do you need people from the affairs department to formulate a new set of procedures?"

"No, no, the new process will be very simple." Lincoln stretched out a finger and shook it, and said with a slight smile on his face: "I already have an exciting idea."

"The whole process is very simple, all that needs to be done by Water Company is to provide some logistics support services."

Hearing this, Ashley's heart suddenly became tense, and she couldn't help curling up, looking at Lincoln cautiously: "What is your idea?"

"Superhuman Contest!"

"The global superhuman competition led by Water Company will officially start in one month!"

"Are you tired of those superhuman beings who only show their abilities on the stage? Are you used to watching the same audition programs? Do you feel that everything should be changed from the bottom of your heart?"

"Now, the change is coming!"

"Located on a temporary island in the center of the Atlantic Ocean, all superhumans in Europe and America who are willing to become the new Super Seven will be gathered here."

"It has nothing to do with singing and acting skills, or background. Here, there is only one way to determine the winner—force! The force that hits to the flesh and smashes and knocks down all the other contestants!"

"."

"This Superhuman Contest is sponsored by the Water Group. This competition will be conducted fairly and justly under the supervision of the Super Seven and the new captain."

"At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the Walter Group TV channel will broadcast the island-building process live. This operation is carried out by Captain Superman alone. Everyone is welcome to watch."

"Superhuman Contest? Organize superhumans to fight on the island to select members of the new Super Seven? Is the Voight Group crazy?"

"Actually, what I'm more curious about is how they plan to create an island in the Atlantic Ocean. Moreover, that Captain Superman seems to have never heard of it before?"

"Will it be from the motherland?"

"The possibility is very small. Look at Walter's official website. The identity of the motherlander is the co-captain of the Super Seven. There is no relevant introduction to the captain at all, and the title 'Superman' gives me a bad feeling." .”

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe that guy called 'Superman' will be harder to deal with than the so-called natives of the homeland"

"you sure?"

"I don't know, it's just a possibility and conjecture."

"Just wait and see, at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, it won't be very long."

The FBI and others who were paying attention to the Vault Group and the group of superhumans felt that the Vote Group was crazy when they saw the Superhuman Contest.

They immediately wanted to prevent the start of the hegemony competition, but after just a few minutes, after knowing who this competition originated from, they couldn't help but fell silent.

All organizations, individuals and groups who are wary of superhumans and have conflicts of interest with Vaughan Corporation don't think the Superhuman Contest is a good idea, but others don't think so.

Before the islands for the competition have been built, the gambling company has already started to prepare the website for the competition.

More and more related companies began to contact Water Company, competing for logistics contracting, and some issues such as advertising sponsorship.

The capitalists only have money in their eyes, golden money, they are like wolves and sharks, they can always move when they hear the wind and encounter blood, and fight for any possible benefits.

Everything in the upper class is a dirty exchange of interests. In comparison, the voices of the people are very monotonous.

The support is almost overwhelming. Except for organizations like environmental protection organizations and animal protection organizations that try to bite the meat, whether it is a devout religious believer or a crazy criminal, there is only one word for the convening of the Superhuman Contest-support.

Just like those gangsters who have to go whoring|prostitutes and fight to go to taverns when the weather is tens of minus and hundreds of degrees below zero, violence and joining in the fun are an almost indelible part of human nature.

Beasts and beasts, people and beasts, people and people, this kind of thing is not uncommon in this world, but the battle between superhumans and superhumans, and such a public large-scale superhuman event, this is almost the first time back!
Those superhumans who claim to be the sons of God fight to the death in the ring, and they can watch them fight like wild beasts with spinach bills around them.

The superiority of money, violence, and role change will all be full at this moment.

How could they, who couldn't even resist marijuana, resist this deadly satisfaction?

Everything about the Superhuman Contest is just overheated, and the public's anticipation and enthusiasm for this event have risen to an incredible level for the Walter Group.

Before the competition started, they had already extracted the terrifying power from it, and managed the Super Seven?Run a few!The Transhuman Contest makes a lot more money than that!

Water Group.

Ashley walked into the office in a hurry, her eyes were full of excitement and excitement: "Good news, according to the survey, benefiting from the Superhuman Contest, the recent online investigation of the Super Seven, the Water Group, the Superhuman The search frequency of 231 soared 301%, 478% and [-]% respectively.”

"In the recent period of time, the related popularity on Twitter and Facebook has risen rapidly. No other topic has the same popularity as the box of the Superhuman Contest. It has surpassed the historical record, twice!"

"After the relevant news was released, so far, the company's direct revenue has directly exceeded 4 million US dollars, and the related revenue is still growing. This is unprecedented!"

While talking, Ashley walked up to Lincoln and said in an uplifting tone: "Sir, what I need to say is that your thoughts on the Superman Contest are extremely correct, and this will be a decision that will be recorded in the history of Walt Corporation !"

"I don't care about these." Lincoln looked around the seats and said, "I only care about how many superhumans have signed up now?"

"So far, nearly 400 people have signed up to participate, and according to calculations, the final number of participants will reach thousands."

"Are there active superheroes signing up for the competition?"

"Yes, but not a lot." Ashley reported: "A considerable number of superheroes have city agreements, and they cannot participate."

"So why not consider adding a city competition?" Lincoln chuckled: "Let those cities send their representative heroes to participate in the competition."

"Give them a little spinach share and peripheral share of related heroes, and promise that their different rankings mean a discount for superhero contracts in the next few years."

"On the Internet, a little bit of resistance conflicts among states and even cities will be aroused, causing them to be hostile to each other and strengthening their support for the heroes of this city and even this continent."

"City competitions, individual competitions, team competitions, there are various forms of competitions, why should we stick to one?"

"The first Superhuman Contest, I hope you can make it an indispensable part of human history, otherwise, will you be in a daze for a month?"

Lincoln's voice was understated, but Ashley was completely stunned.

It is beyond imagination to be able to successfully hold the Superhuman Contest, but now, what Lincoln has to do is to keep adding pounds, so that the debut of this event will be the peak.

Even just thinking about it, Ashley could imagine what terrifying benefits this event would bring, and just listening to it from the sidelines, she was already trembling with excitement.

Not only Ashley, but everyone else present, including people from the motherland, looked at Lincoln differently.

What is being a superhero for?money?There is a part, but more of a name!
And with just one Superman Tournament, everyone in the Super Seven has the name they crave.

At this moment, even the hostility of the people of the motherland towards Lincoln was slightly weakened. What could make the fellow countrymen happier than that he could appear in front of everyone and be the referee in the much-anticipated event?
According to what Lincoln said, everything seems to be developing in a good direction, but is this really the case?
The Transhuman Contest is not a good-for-people event.

Fortunately for the individual competition, there was no bad intentions behind this competition, at most it was just a few casualties caused by accidental heavy hands in the competition.

What really matters is the city race.

Each of the urban heroes rented and sold by the Water Group is worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Even if it is just a contract reduction or exemption, it will be a terrifying figure.

If you add the spinach and peripheral sharing, the benefits are enough to make people crazy.

Driven by the ultimate profit, the city will frantically want to win, which will make the city competition appear more cruel and bloody.

If you add the cities and continents that have been established secretly, you can imagine what seeds will be planted in the end.

The Tournament will make a lot of people earn a lot of money, but what the money buys behind it is far beyond anyone's imagination.

Maybe someone saw the problem, but so what, they couldn't stop Lincoln, and they couldn't stop those who would profit from it.
