American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 24 Interviewing a Superhero
Before attending the interview at Oscorp, Xiao Xian prepared a bunch of questions and carefully selected templates online.

For example, what do you think of overtime? What do you think you are still lacking in this position you applied for? If I hire you, how will you carry out your work? What can you bring to our company? And so on.

As a result, when he arrived at Oscorp, Xiao Xian received an interview question:
When you have an argument with someone, even if it's just a common disagreement, you tend to use violence to resolve the issue.

You have had thoughts of massacring passers-by.

a very suitable b suitable c not suitable d not suitable at all

You think you are the most noble being, and you are a completely different species from ordinary people. They should all worship you as their master, otherwise they deserve to die.

a very suitable b suitable c not suitable d not suitable at all

Looking at these questions, Xiao Xian fell into deep thought. As long as he was not a violent antisocial person, no, even if he was a violent antisocial person, as long as he knew what normal people would choose and was willing to disguise himself, he could easily pass this interview question.

"Okay." In less than five minutes, Xiao Xian finished answering the interview questions and handed the answers to the interviewer, a middle-aged man who looked a little fat.

"Well, okay." Seeing that all the answers were D, the interviewer nodded in satisfaction, then picked up Xiao Xian's resume and glanced at it, saying, "Next, show us your superpowers. Your power is...super regeneration? Right."

"Here?" Xiao Xian thought that he had clearly attached video materials when he sent his resume, but forget it, he had already prepared it. "Do you mind if I take a knife out of my briefcase?"

"Okay." The interviewer glanced at the armed security guard next to him and nodded.

Taking out a fruit knife from his bag, Xiao Xian cut a long cut on his arm. Then, under the watchful eyes of the interviewer, security guard, and Xiao Xian, the wound healed within half a minute.

The recovery speed has increased so much? Looking at his own healing speed, Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows. During the interview, he did not confront his idol's fans, so theoretically his healing ability should have decreased a lot. How come it has increased so much? This effect is better than scolding a group of fans until they break down.

What did I do? I shouldn't have provoked anyone to make him hate me so much. Could it be Peter? Suddenly Xiao Xian thought of Peter who sent his aunt away. However, Peter took the initiative to do this. Why did he hate me so much?
But it seems that the strong hatred of an individual is much more effective than the weak hatred of a group.

"My regenerative ability can not only regenerate all kinds of injuries, but even if I suffer a fatal injury, I can recover through super regeneration." Xiao Xian put away the knife and explained lightly, as if it was not him who had just been cut with a large wound.

"Your ability to save your life is indeed good, but do you think this ability is compatible with your identity as a superhero? In other words, compared with other superheroes, what is your innovation and core competitiveness?" The interviewer nodded. This regeneration speed is of the very fast type and is also very practical, but the problem is that other superheroes have a main ability with regeneration, while Xiao Xian only has regeneration, and he does not have much combat power. The Regeneration Man or something like that sounds very ordinary and does not make him feel bright at all. It is difficult to attract fans.

"I also have an ability of adhesion, similar to Spider-Man's ability to climb walls." Xiao Xian stood up and climbed up the wall, demonstrating his new superpowers.

“This is good and quite entertaining, but IMHO, this level of superpower is still not enough. It didn’t make me feel bright. I think the setting of regeneration and wall climbing is unlikely to attract enough fans’ attention.”

The interviewer stroked his beard. A Spawn that could climb walls was just average. At least he had no desire to attract any attention.

"I think I have great potential to attract fans. For example, I can shoot videos of all kinds of extreme challenges, such as lava diving in a volcano, skydiving without a parachute, bungee jumping without a rope, stewing yourself in a cauldron, and the consequences of humans withstanding 500 rounds of Gatling bullets."

Hearing this, Xiao Xian realized that the interviewer was not concerned about the strength of the superpower, but the ability to attract fans. He immediately thought of a way to attract attention.
"Also, if I encounter natural disasters like nuclear power plant leaks, wildfires, tsunamis, etc., I can go live and save people. I'm not afraid of death, injury, or radiation. I think this can attract fans. If things don't work out, I can donate my organs every now and then, which will increase the topic."

Anyway, during the interview, all kinds of promises were made first, and then things would change after they got the job. Xiao Xian did not hesitate to come up with all kinds of tricks, such as lava diving after they really got the job, and whoever wanted to do it could do it. When Xiao Xian gained other super powers, he would have plenty of ways to attract attention.

"It's a pity that you don't go to the operation department. After hearing what Xiao Xian said, the interviewer's mouth twitched. The regeneration ability almost made this guy do something fancy, but then again, he really wanted to see lava diving, and withstanding 500 Gatling gun rounds.

"You have successfully convinced me. As you said, your ability has great potential for development. I even think that you are qualified to get a B-level superhero contract. I will recommend you to the boss. If you pass, you will become a B-level superhero of our Osborne Group."

The interviewer extended his hand and shook it with Xiao Xian. "I look forward to working with you in the future."

"Thank you." Xiao Xian shook the interviewer's hand. This person seemed to really believe it. Would he really urge him to jump into the lava in the future? He was worth tens of millions now, but he had no intention of jumping into the lava to attract attention. How painful it would be to be burned by the lava.

"Please wait for a moment. Another superhero will come for an interview. Wait for the result of her interview to come out. If she passes, I will take you to meet the boss. Your final rating will also be determined by the boss." The interviewer said with a smile
"Boss? Is that Mr. Norman Osborn?" Xiao Xian was quite interested in Norman Osborn. Since tasks and rewards could be obtained from the superhero Peter Parker, there was no reason why tasks could not be obtained from the super villain Mr. Norman Osborn.

"That's right. The boss takes the business of the superhero company very seriously. He personally serves as the president and chairman of the branch, and he has the final say on the recruitment and rating of every superhero."

The interviewer nodded, looking very proud. Thanks to the boss's attention, the superhero agency has received a lot of resources and has a much higher voice in the group than other companies.
