American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 19 The Cost and Benefits of Darkening
As the phone beeped and the email icon popped up, Xiao Xian, who was sitting on the sofa eating oranges that Tomie helped peel, raised his eyebrows. Finally, a company responded to his resume.

Since he has proven that he can survive without eating, there is no need to go on a hunger strike. He doesn't dare to eat anything cooked by Tomie, but Xiao Xian still dares to eat the fruit that he bought and Tomie peeled in front of him.

"What's wrong? Is there any good news?" Tomie, who was choosing a dryer online, asked immediately when she saw Xiao Xian's expression. She didn't know whether Peter would be obedient and stop bothering her. According to her experience, even if she kicked Peter, she might not be able to kick him away.

In that case, Tomie chose to buy the dryer directly and not go to the balcony, so she would not have met Peter on the balcony.

"Oh, nothing, I just found a job." Xiao Xian opened his email, and the content inside was that the Osborne Group notified him to go for an interview tomorrow. Although he felt a little disappointed that the reply was not from Wayne Superhero Agency, the Osborne Group was still pretty good.

Although according to the plot, the two generations of leaders of this group, the Green Goblin and the Little Green Goblin, are both super villains, the Osborn Group has never collapsed. Moreover, the management is in chaos, which may not be a bad thing for Xiao Xian. If there is no chaos, it will be difficult for Xiao Xian to get promoted or get anything good even if he works there for his whole life.

The boss of a company will attach great importance to the interests of the company, but professional managers will attach higher importance to their personal interests. The interests of the company are not very important, as long as they do not affect the stock price and thus the dividends and annual salary. It is common to use various means to make money from the company, and it is also normal to sell out the interests of the company in exchange for personal interests.

The Osborne Group's enhanced serums and various equipment are very good.

In addition, there are many characters related to the Osborn Group, including the Green Goblins, Spider-Man, the Lizard Man, the Black Cat, Gwen, etc. Although the latter two do not have super powers, they are very beautiful.

"I thought you would start a company." Fu Jiang said with some doubt. With the start-up capital she gave to Xiao Xian, it should be enough for Xiao Xian to start a company.

"I'll accumulate some connections and experience first. If I just jump into the entrepreneurial army, that's not entrepreneurship, that's giving money away." Xiao Xian explained that a superhero career is also a career, and he didn't lie to Tomie. Besides, even if he did, it's just a lie, no big deal. A man's mouth is deceiving, this simple truth must be known to Tomie, right?

"That makes sense~ You're amazing, I really admire you."

Tomie praised skillfully. Her skill points in coaxing men had been maxed out a long time ago, but she never used them most of the time. Besides, she didn't care about Xiao Xian starting a company anyway. It wouldn't matter even if he lost all the money. People are always easy to talk to about things that don't matter to them.

Just like a normal person would say that it is too high when hearing that his girlfriend is asking for a dowry of 88 yuan, but a scumbag will only say, my dear, you are right, you deserve such a high dowry, not only 88 yuan, but also the house and the car.

Anyway, the scumbag has no intention of marrying the other party, so let alone 88, even if it is 888 million or 8888 million, the scumbag won’t even frown.

Those with a higher level will pretend to disagree at first, thinking the request is too high. Later, after being persuaded by their girlfriends, they will say that they agreed to the request because of their love for their girlfriends. This not only makes it more realistic, but may also unlock new knowledge.

Peter, who was directly rejected by Tomie, lay on the bed in a state of confusion. The details of his life with Aunt May and Tomie's face flashed in front of him repeatedly. Tomie's face seemed to have a magical power. Every time it flashed in Peter's mind, Peter became more unable to extricate himself. The frequency of her appearance in Peter's mind became higher and higher. In the end, most of Peter's mind changed from being mostly about the details of his life with Aunt May to almost all about Tomie.

"It's the 21st century now. Having sex won't make you lose a piece of meat. I believe Aunt Mei will sacrifice for my happiness. Besides, this isn't the first time for Aunt Mei. Xiao Xian is young and handsome, so Aunt Mei won't lose anything. Maybe she'll even gain something. Yes, that's right. If they do get together in the future, Aunt Mei will thank me."

Lying on the bed, Peter's eyes gradually became firm, and he quickly convinced himself with a set of twisted logic. The conversation with Tomie in the morning made Peter realize that if he didn't want to use tricks to eliminate Xiao Xian, then he would never be able to compete with Xiao Xian in front of Tomie.

In the afternoon, Xiao Xian, who was in a fierce debate with his idol's fans online, heard a knock on the door. After signaling Tomie to come over with his eyes, Xiao Xian continued to debate.

"It's Peter who is coming. How about you open the door and I'll go to the room to hide from him, or we pretend not to be at home?" After Fu Jiang saw through the peephole that it was Peter who came, she did not open the door, but went to the living room to ask Xiao Xian. Xiao Xian asked her to stay away from Peter, so she kept her distance from Peter. She would not make such a mistake.

Of course, if Xiao Xian takes the bait and becomes unable to extricate himself from her, then her action pattern will be reversed. She will take the initiative to contact the men that Xiao Xian forbids her to contact, even in front of Xiao Xian.

"Peter?" Xiao Xian put down his phone and thought, after all, he is the superhero Spider-Man, maybe he can get a mission. It's okay to meet him, but Tomie must stay away from him, so that she won't notice anything.
"Okay, I'll go open the door, you go back to your room and don't let him see you."

"Peter? What do you want to see me for?" Xiao Xian asked Peter, who was holding a gift, after opening the door. He had been indifferent to him before, but became like this after seeing Tomie? His willpower is too ordinary, right? Is this a side effect of his dark transformation?

"Aren't we neighbors? You brought a bottle of wine over before, and I personally prepared a return gift for you - a PS5, a game console. I also bought you a lot of games and installed them all." Peter handed the gift to Xiao Xian with a very kind smile.

Of course, Peter spent a huge amount of money to buy a PS5 not because he thought that he had a good relationship with Xiao Xian, but because he hoped that Xiao Xian would be addicted to games and ignore Tomie. For this purpose, he also bought a lot of highly rated games, with the purpose of making Xiao Xian fall in love with games!

"This is not good. I feel embarrassed to give such an expensive gift." Although he refused verbally, Xiao Xian calmly took the game console. He would rather miss it than miss it for free.

Peter, you really did commit burglary. The wealth of ten Peters in other universes combined may not be comparable to yours. They are still worried about rent, water and electricity. This should be the benefit of turning evil. At least as a super-powered person, you will not be so short of money that you can't even pay the rent.

"It's okay, it's okay, we are all neighbors~ By the way, where is Miss Tomie? Why don't I see her? She seems to live here too, right?" Peter saw Xiao Xian accept the game console and a smile appeared on his face. At the same time, he looked around the room without seeing Xiao Xian, but he didn't see the figure that had been haunting him.
