American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Even though the female anchor took over most of the news broadcasting, Evan, as the "straight man," still needed to speak.

After several silences, even the viewers in front of the television could see that there was something wrong with the newly appointed male host.

This couldn't go on, and Evan himself realized this, so his expression grew increasingly anxious.

'You want to speak out, huh? Then I'll grant your wish...'

Outside the live stream, Bruce, always eager for drama, continued to stir things up.

Then, when it was Evan's turn to speak again, he found that his throat was actually fine.

"Gah...gagga..."

Before Evan could even feel happy, he realized that everything he said sounded like a duck quacking.

With a look of terror on his face, he quickly covered his mouth.

At the same time, the on-site director helplessly rubbed his forehead. This situation is now considered a very serious live broadcast accident.

It's worth noting that imitating a duck's quack during a live news broadcast is something that has never happened before in the history of television broadcasting.

"What are you doing? Get serious!"

Immediately, the on-site director, who thought Evan was deliberately causing trouble, looked up at him fiercely and gave him instructions silently.

If this weren't a live broadcast, judging from the way that on-site director looked, he would have already gone up and strangled Evan.

"Gah gah... gah..."

Evan understood the director's meaning and was about to explain to himself when he opened his mouth and let out a series of duck quacks.

This frightened him so much that he desperately covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this, the on-site director had completely given up, turned around to face the wall, and began to reflect on his life.

However, Bruce's antics outside the live stream weren't over yet. Seeing that Evan was unwilling to try to speak anymore, he directly used his superpowers to control him.

Then we saw Evan in the live stream, sometimes grinning and sticking out his tongue, sometimes jumping around and talking nonsense...

In short, he did everything the Joker was capable of.

Finally, the half-hour news broadcast ended, and Evan slumped helplessly in the studio, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"It's over, everything is over!!!"

The live broadcast director, who had been reflecting on his life in the corner for a while, roared the moment the broadcast ended.

Then, he glared at Evan, who had messed everything up, and turned to leave with a cold face.

If nothing unexpected happens, Evan shouldn't even think about appearing in this live stream again.

This is exactly the result Bruce wanted.

However, at that moment, a staff member monitoring the program data excitedly rushed into the live broadcast room, shouting, "It's up! It's up! Our program has increased by five percentage points..."

The audience of the local television station in Buffalo Town is the eight million residents of Apple City, and five percent of that is 400,000 viewers.

This kind of increase is almost historic for a news program.

The on-site director paused in his tracks. After learning from the data analyst that the increase was indeed true, he felt that perhaps it wasn't impossible to give Evan another chance.

However, before that, the other party must guarantee that they will not pull any more pranks on the show in the future.

The on-site director said his heart couldn't take it.

"Evan, I'm giving you another chance. I hope you'll take it. Don't do anything out of line on the show again." The on-set director approached Evan and gave him a warning.

"Do I still have a chance?" Evan, who had been feeling dejected, looked up in surprise upon hearing this, realizing he had returned to normal. He quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, boss. I'll definitely work hard from now on!"

Seeing Evan's sincere expression, the director on set didn't want to say anything more, so he led the group of people outside.

Thus, a major live broadcast mishap was temporarily covered up by the huge increase in viewership.

"What a lucky guy..." Bruce was very annoyed to see Evan escape unscathed. After glancing at him from afar, he muttered to himself, "We'll see how things go in the future."

……

"You're Bruce? You're back to work?" Susan, the female host who followed the crowd out of the studio, was surprised to see Bruce in the aisle and walked over.

For some reason, she felt that Bruce had a very unique aura today.

Mischievous, yet alluring~

“Yes, I’m back. Maybe we’ll have a chance to host a show together again in the future…” Bruce said.

He also had a strong liking for the female host in front of him, who was both good-looking and had a good temperament.

Now that I have the "ability," I'll find myself flirting without even realizing it.

"Really? But you'd definitely be a better host than Evan..." Susan recalled the previous livestream mishap and complained with lingering fear, "You probably don't know, but during Evan's debut broadcast today, he actually imitated a duck's quack and jumped onto the table like a wild man, howling. You can't imagine how scared I was..."

Yes, how could you not be afraid to work with someone who seems mentally unstable? Especially since Susan is a delicate lady.

“I understand how you feel. I saw everything outside. You’ve really had a tough time having a partner like this…” Bruce suppressed a laugh and offered a perfunctory consolation to the girl.

After all, he was the one who orchestrated all of that behind the scenes, so how could he not know what was going on?

Then, the two got along very well as they talked about "Evan".

Susan gradually realized that her previously unknown colleague was actually very "connected" with her.

"Maybe we can go for a drink together after get off work," Susan invited.

“No problem. As my future partner, I’d love to chat with a beautiful woman like you.” Bruce accepted the invitation without hesitation.

……

Chapter 455 Trial in progress

After gaining superpowers, Bruce's life became increasingly smooth.

At home, there's no more nagging from my girlfriend about her unsatisfied desires; on the road, there's no more traffic jams; and at work, I've even built good relationships with my female colleagues.

As for his work, Bruce, as a field reporter, always manages to "unexpectedly" encounter major news stories whenever he goes out on assignment.

For example, you might encounter a major bank robbery while doing street interviews, or a meteorite fall while exploring the suburbs. Even if you do nothing, a series of traffic accidents might appear in the background.

These successive "coincidences" turned him into the chosen "god of news".

Evan, who remained in his position as host, continued to experience a series of live broadcast mishaps over the next few days.

Of course, the subsequent live broadcast mishaps never helped boost the TV station's news ratings again. Viewers seemed to have grown tired of Evan's constant antics in the news.

In this situation, the on-set director also lost patience with Evan and decided to replace him.

Then, the director noticed Bruce, who had been performing exceptionally well lately.

Before leaving work that day, Bruce finally received the good news he had been hoping for from his boss:

He will be taking over Evan's hosting duties next week.

"Bruce, you must have received good news by now. How are you planning to thank me?" Susan called out with a smile at the company entrance as Bruce was about to leave after get off work.

The girl did push Bruce when the director was re-selecting the male host on set.

Bruce reacted quickly, smiling and saying, "How about I buy you a drink, like you did last time?"

“Just drinking isn’t enough,” Susan shook her head and said ambiguously, “To celebrate you becoming a host, how about I invite you to my house for dinner? Just the two of us…”

The woman's alluring red lips and the subtle gestures she made while adjusting her hair made Bruce feel parched.

Just as he was filled with lust and preparing to accept the woman's invitation, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, and at the same time, he heard a dense and chaotic sound of prayers.

In his dazed state, the woman's voice across from him gradually became irritating and unpleasant.

"Bruce, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Susan noticed that the man's expression was off and quickly went to support him.

"What's wrong with me...?" After a while, Bruce still felt very uncomfortable in his head, and he could only hear auditory hallucinations.

This made him a little panicked.

"You're sweating a lot, and you look terrible. Should I take you to the hospital?" Susan asked with concern.

"No, no need..." After a period of buffer time, Bruce also made a guess: his condition was likely related to the old man who gave him the power.

"I'll just go back and rest for a bit. We can make plans for the celebration later." Having figured out the crux of the problem, Bruce had no time to flirt with Susan anymore.

Right now, all he wants is to see that mysterious old man as soon as possible and ask him what's wrong with him.

……

"Are you sure he can do the job of an angel well?" Outside the local television station building in Buffalo, Mike stood next to a beggar and asked him after watching Bruce leave.

Yes, when they met again a few days later, Mike was there to confront Angel Number One and demand an explanation.

Bruce has made quite a few big headlines these past few days, and the Men in Black have been working tirelessly to clean up his mess.

Left with no other choice, Ms. O put the pressure on Mike.

As expected, Mike approached Angel Number One as his guarantor.

“He just hasn’t figured out his own heart yet, we need to give him more time…” Angel Number One, holding up a tattered sign, smiled and said, “Besides, there haven’t been any casualties these past few days, have there?”

Bruce, though arrogant, still retains his basic moral principles; when he makes headlines, he doesn't harm innocent people.

The first angel probably valued this aspect of him.

"Just tell me, how long will this situation continue?" Mike wasn't in the mood for guessing games with Angel Number One and went straight to the question that the Men in Black headquarters was concerned about.

“Today is the fourth day, Bruce has three more days to go,” Angel Number One replied after a moment of hesitation.

"Alright, I'll wait three more days." Having obtained the exact time, Mike considered his mission complete.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but turn back and complain: "Also, shouldn't you change your beggar look? It's really affecting the city's appearance."

The angel number one, disguised as a beggar, was covered in grease, his hair looked like it hadn't been washed in years, and his clothes were tattered and an eyesore.

Even though I knew the other person couldn't possibly smell bad, their appearance was still just too awful.

It can only be attributed to the other party's personal perverse tastes.

"Appearance is just a facade; you'll understand that sooner or later..." Angel Number One explained with a smile, already regarding Mike as someone on the same level.

"I don't believe you for a second!" Mike touched his handsome face, turned around and left.

Watching Mike leave, Angel Number One put away her smile, shook her head, and then turned and disappeared into the corner of the street.

At the same time, Bruce, back home and sitting on the sofa, was calling out to Angel Number One in his heart.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a ragged old beggar appeared on the sofa opposite him.

Looking at the old man's dirty appearance, Bruce had a hesitant expression.

"Are you asking me what's going on with the voice in your head?" Angel Number One said with a smile.

This was the moment he had been waiting for, to make Bruce understand his "duty".

However, Bruce nodded, then shook his head, and said, "I'm worried about my sofa. You know, you're very different from when I last met you..."

When Bruce first met Angel Number One, she was disguised as a cleaner. Although her appearance wasn't great, at least she wasn't as slovenly as she is now.

It's worrying; he might have fleas.

"Is my new look really that bad?" Angel Number One had tried to lighten the mood, but then saw Bruce nod seriously.

"Never mind, you all don't understand~" Angel Number One stopped talking, snapped her fingers, and transformed herself into a smart old man with a well-fitting white suit and neat hair.

“Alright, let’s get back to our previous topic. What did you want to see me about?” Angel Number One said. “I can feel that you are calling for me in your heart.”

"I'm having a lot of auditory hallucinations in my head, what's going on? Also, can you help me get rid of those voices? It's making it impossible for me to live a normal life..." Seeing that the old man had become more agreeable, Bruce started talking.

He poured out all his doubts and needs at once.

“That wasn’t a hallucination, but the prayers of believers. Now that you have God’s power, you should naturally take over his work,” the first angel responded.

"The prayers of believers? How can I stop them?" Bruce, whose head was spinning from the noise, desperately needed quiet.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. You can only stop the prayers if you respond to each believer’s prayer and satisfy them all,” the first angel told Bruce.

"Is this the only way?" Bruce continued to ask.

He had just roughly sorted through the information in his mind: some people wanted to win the lottery and become the richest man, some wanted to encounter beautiful girls and be surrounded by beauties, and some wanted to wield great power and become president...

They're all unrealistic wishes.

“There’s only one way!” Angel One answered Bruce’s question with certainty, and then continued, “Remember, don’t let ordinary people know you have superpowers, and your power cannot change the will of humans.”
