American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 42 Starlight Will Shine

The training for superheroes was a little different from what Xiao Xian had imagined. Before participating, Xiao Xian thought it would be physical training, mastering superpowers, training in various combat skills including fighting, martial arts, tactics and weapon use, first aid knowledge, as well as public relations and media skills training.

As it turned out, Xiao Xian only guessed the last one correctly. As for the training in public relations and media skills, Oscorp didn't care about physical fitness or combat at all. In fact, according to the rules and regulations, superheroes should try to avoid participating in high-risk behaviors that may cause disfigurement or injury.

To put it simply, if a superhero is not immune to fire at a fire scene, he should not go to rescue people, so as to avoid getting burned and affecting his appearance.

The training that Oscorp gave to Xiao Xian mainly included acting training, image design and expression management, public relations and media skills training, language and communication skills. No wonder it is called an agency, it turns out they really train him to be a star, and superpowers are just a gimmick.

As for other people, there was actually a super power to master, but because Xiao Xian had two skills, one passive super regeneration and the other wall climbing, both companies felt that there was nothing to master and practice, and Xiao Xian was also in a hurry to make his debut, so the plan was cancelled.

"Have you taken acting classes? The acting teacher, Ms. Scheffler, is super fierce. But she is really good, and many Hollywood stars have taken her acting classes."

During lunch, Xingguang, an A-level superhero whose hero level was half a level higher than Xiao Xian, complained to Xiao Xian. After Xiao Xian was promoted to an A-level superhero, Ike no longer stopped the two from interacting with each other, but instead persuaded Xingguang to interact more with Xiao Xian.

At first, Xingguang was quite resistant to contacting the wealthy Xiao Xian, because she felt that one of them was here to work and the other was here to experience life, and they had no common topics at all. But after accidentally meeting Xiao Xian in the company, she took the initiative to invite Xiao Xian to have lunch together at noon.

"And I feel like I'm not taking a superhero course, but a celebrity course. They don't care about how to develop superpowers, but rather focus on how to release them more beautifully and with better postures."

"I just started my acting class this afternoon, so which pose looks better?" Xiao Xian cut the steak with a knife and ate a small piece.

"We haven't discussed it yet. How about we find a place after dinner? I'll show you how to do it, and you can help me check it, how about that?" Xingguang suggested schemingly.

"That's great, of course. Did you bring a superhero uniform? It'd be better to change into that." Xiao Xian could of course see what Xingguang was thinking. In fact, there was no need to see. Ever since he had super charm, when Xiao Xian went out to buy two apples, the lady at the fruit stall not only didn't charge him any money, but also gave him a bag of pears and two boxes of cherries.

Whenever they went out to eat, Xiao Xian would eat in a private room, because when he ate outside, the girls who came to ask for phone numbers would surround the table so much that the waiters who were serving food couldn't squeeze in.

Fortunately, there was the equally charming Tomie to share life experience with him, otherwise if Xiao Xian had suddenly decided to take public transportation such as the bus or subway that day, the scene would have been too outrageous and Xiao Xian couldn't even imagine it.

However, Tomie has some experience but not much, because unlike Xiao Xian, Tomie enjoys the admiration of others, no matter whether the other person is a handsome guy or an ugly guy. Usually, Tomie will not avoid it, but will welcome the admiration of others.

But Xiao Xian is different. It is acceptable for beautiful women to take advantage of him, but it is disgusting when old ladies, tanks or something like that come over and try to take advantage of him.

Moreover, Tomie is a stunning beauty and a wealthy woman. Most men know her style and although they may be attracted to her, they will not chase her and ask for her phone number or something like that.

As a handsome guy who drove a Ferrari, Xiao Xian not only did not eliminate many girls, but attracted more.

Of course, most girls are normal. Even if they are attracted to a boy, they will just ask for his phone number and take the initiative to ask him out for dinner. But some of them simply refresh Xiao Xian's worldview.

For example, a girl who obviously didn't look like someone that anyone would pursue ran up to Xiao Xian and said, "You're great, you meet my requirements, now I'll give you a chance to pursue me," which made Xiao Xian's face full of questions. Another person was even more impressive, spraying a bunch of words on Xiao Xian's car with red paint, writing the words "Xiao Xian, I love you" all over it, and then when Xiao Xian came, she spread her hands to say that she had no money to pay him back, and could only promise him her body.

As a superhero who is about to debut, Xiao Xian naturally cannot do anything to such extreme fans. After all, personality is very important. The main reason is that other admirers directly rushed up and beat her up. Considering that the other party was beaten into the hospital, Xiao Xian did not ask for compensation from the other party.

In the end, not only did Xiao Xian not receive any compensation, he also had to pay for the medical expenses and lawyer fees of the pursuer who beat him up. As for the person who was beaten, that had nothing to do with Xiao Xian.

Xiao Xian did not lose out though, as this incident was reported in the news. Under the operation of Oscorp, the new superhero was so handsome that his suitors even fought each other. This gimmick attracted the curiosity of a large number of spectators.

Relying on this gimmick, Xiao Xian attracted several product endorsements before his debut. However, Xiao Xian thought they were not of high enough quality and he refused them as he had plenty of money.

"By the way, it's a pity that you didn't go to Harry Osborn's party." Xingguang said to Xiao Xian while eating lunch, "Harry Osborn confessed his love to his high school classmate at the party."

"Isn't this interesting? Didn't he say that he changes girlfriends three times a month?" Xiao Xian shrugged. The Harry Osborn in this world is a playboy, the kind who can be compared to Iron Man.

"But Harry told the other party that he was serious this time and it wasn't just a joke," Starlight explained.

"Men's words are lies. Can you believe such words?" Xiao Xian's mouth twitched when he heard this. "Tony Stark also said that he values ​​his family and will never cheat."

"Look, I feel that Harry is quite serious. He even said that he would introduce the girl to his father." Xingguang looked at Xiao Xian expectantly and said, "Even playboys have times when they want to settle down, right?"

"This situation usually only occurs in old age, when one's energy is declining, or when one has no money. I have only seen normal young people who turned from honest people into playboys after they got rich, but I have rarely seen playboys suddenly become honest."

Xiao Xian responded to Xing Guang's expectant look.
"But there are always exceptions, right? It's not impossible. As long as you meet that special girl, even a scumbag can become a good man." Xingguang still didn't give up.

"When you have this kind of thought when facing a scumbag, then you are not far from falling. As a friend, my personal advice is to run, run quickly, and get out before you fall." Xiao Xian looked into Xingguang's eyes and said, "Everyone thinks they are special, but there are actually very few special people. Very few."

"So will you help me decide which pose looks better later?" Xingguang looked at Xiao Xian and said with a smile.

"Of course, I'd be happy to help as long as you're willing." Xiao Xian emphasized the words "as long as you're willing."

"Let me tell you a secret. My eyes will glow at certain times~" Xingguang leaned forward and whispered in Xiao Xian's ear.

Xiao Xian looked at the starlight in surprise, which was bold and charming yet with a hint of shyness. He had to admit that it was indeed quite special.
