"Leon, are we just going to let these people block here?" Raphael looked at Leonardo and said, "Have they not decided yet whether to recruit new members?"

"Let Black Superman and April decide on this matter. After all, April is the CEO of the Overwatch League." Leonardo said, "I think April will make a decision soon."

In the laboratory.

Apshar and Splinter, together, visit Donatello's research on the Silver Samurai Armor.

"Donatello, how about it, can you copy it?" Apshar said, "Black Superman said that if you can copy this armor technology and load the intelligent algorithm, he can come forward and buy the Ark Reactor from Stark Group and Venus Energy as the core energy source. In this way, our Watchers will also have armor to use in the future."

"A little difficult."

Donatello said with a bitter face:

"I have always felt that the ability of this silver warrior armor is so magical that it goes against my scientific common sense. After research, I discovered that this silver warrior armor is actually mixed with some special metal - vibranium!"

"Vibranium is a very, very special metal. It is very hard. Its special molecular structure makes it almost indestructible. Because its molecules are relatively static, it hardly conducts heat and kinetic energy. This property allows it to absorb heat, energy and kinetic energy. In terms of materials science, vibranium is almost an incredible miracle metal."

"Therefore, in the international market, one gram of vibranium is worth more than $1. I didn't know that the Bigfoot Gang and Sykes Technology were so extravagant that they got vibranium and wasted it on making armor instead of using it for scientific research. It's simply a waste of resources!"

"hiss--!"

Apshar took a breath.

You know, when she was working at NBC Universal, her monthly salary was less than $1, and just one gram of vibranium is enough for her two months' salary. Isn't it too damn expensive?

No wonder Schneider was able to withstand armor-piercing bullets with his Silver Samurai Armor.

It turns out that it relies on vibranium's ability to absorb kinetic energy.

"Because of the existence of vibranium, it is not impossible for us to copy the Silver Samurai Armor, but..." Donatello looked at April eagerly: "This requires a lot of funds to buy vibranium."

Apshar was silent.

Donatello knew at a glance that there was no hope. He sighed and said, "Here's what I think. Copying the Silver Samurai armor is too expensive and the gains do not outweigh the losses. If Black Superman can provide us with a stable channel to purchase the Ark Reactor and solve the most important energy problem, I can design a set of mechas specifically for the Ark Reactor."

"Can it be done?"

Apshar looked at Donatello in surprise.

"I'm 8% sure." Donatello said, "The core technology of Iron Man's armor is the Ark Reactor, the triangular energy core device on his chest. This technology is too great for me to copy out of thin air. But I am confident that I can design a suitable armor shell. It's just that I may not be able to iterate as crazy as Iron Man, keep up with the times, and continue to grow stronger, because his armor will have another core, strong artificial intelligence, and I can only design a set of intelligent algorithms for the armor, just like the Iron Monger armor driven by Iron Man's opponent Obadiah Stane."

"That's enough!" Apshar said with a smile, "After all, we have Black Superman, so we don't need to keep updating the mecha. With its ever-increasing combat power, it only needs to be used to deal with some extreme moments when Black Superman is not around. Donatello, then everything is up to you. From now on, our Overwatch League will fully support you in developing our own mecha."

"no problem."

Donatello was happy that he could be trusted by Epshar to take on such an important task, and said:

"It won't be difficult. Even an old guy like Obadiah Stan was able to launch the Iron Monger Project in less than a month. I'm no worse than him. And although the Silver Warrior Armor cannot be copied, some of its technical ideas can be used as a reference to lay the foundation for our mecha."

After leaving the laboratory, Apshar saw a group of people outside the Overwatch League building, clamoring to join the Overwatch League.

"So, Apshar, do we need to start screening new members?"

Raphael asked.

Apshar thought for a while and said, "We might as well give them a chance to show their special abilities. If they are strong enough and have good character, they can temporarily become non-staff members of the Watcher Alliance. After the test, we will give them the opportunity to become official members of the Watcher Alliance."

"Ha, I can be the goalkeeper."

Eddie jumped out excitedly.

During the mission against the Bigfoot Gang and Sykes Technology last night, although it was Dark Superman who ultimately resolved everything, April still recognized the contribution made by Venom Eddie and acknowledged him as an official member of the Overwatch League and given a position on the staff.

The basic monthly salary for regular employees of the Overwatch League is $1, in addition to various social insurance, medical insurance, and even dental insurance. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all reimbursed by the Overwatch League. There is an 80-square-meter exclusive room in the Overwatch League building. The League is also responsible for transportation, weapons, and other items for outbound missions. In addition, when carrying out dangerous missions, there will be a bonus depending on the situation.

In short, by becoming a formal member of the Overwatch League, you can immediately become a member of the middle class.

At least Eddie likes this job.

Next, Apshar became the main interviewer, and Eddie, Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo became deputy interviewers, and the Overwatch League began its recruitment journey.

"I'm Zagst."

A young man with a Gothic look stood in front of everyone.

"Yes, I like him."

Raphael whistled.

Eddie asked, "I guess you can take the pulse of society with your hands?"

"No." Zagst said, "No, I'm a mutant. I can vomit out vomit containing strong acid. Do you want me to vomit and show you?"

"Stop." Apshar quickly reached out to stop him. "Zagst, your ability is very creative, and we have seen your strength. Thank you for your attention to our Watchers Alliance. We have a general understanding of your situation. As you know, we still have to interview other applicants before making a final decision. Please go home and wait for news. We will notify you immediately once we make a decision."

After Zagst left, Apshar rolled his eyes. A mutant who could spit acid... How disgusting.

And he doesn't have any other abilities. He is just a mutant who suddenly awakens. This kind of person does not meet the criteria for recruitment into the Overwatch League.

At the very least, he should be a hero like Venom and Eddie, who has a certain level of combat power. It would be even better if he has good looks and cool skills.

The second member arrived.

"I'm Peter."

A middle-aged fat man stood in front of Apshar and others.

"Do you have any super powers you'd like to show us?"

Leonardo asked.

"No, I don't have any super powers." Peter said, "I just saw the ad and thought... it was interesting, so I came in to see what was going on."

Eddie: "So you don't have any super powers?"

Peter: "Ah... I have both type 1 and type 2 diabetes."

"Wow. All that diabetes..." Eddie said. "When you got type III, could you please tell us?"

Peter: “Okay.”

It's the third member's turn.

"The person who interviewed this time is an invisible man."

Eddie said as he took out his resume.

"Invisible man, wow, that's pretty cool." Michelangelo looked at the empty scene in front of him and couldn't help but clap his hands excitedly, "That's awesome! Don't you agree?"

But there was no movement at the scene.

"He's not here, is he?" said Apshar.

"Uh..." Eddie said awkwardly: "Maybe he is late..."

……

Just as Apshar and others were interviewing new members of the Overwatch League, a female doctor walked out of the Sykes Technology Building in frustration.

Her name is Zhao Helen.

He is of Korean descent and is from Seoul, South Korea. He is a biological scientist with genius-like scientific and business abilities and intelligence.

Before this, Zhao Hailun had already reached an agreement on a cooperation with Sykes Technology, which would invest heavily in one of her scientific experiments - the Cradle of Life.

But who could have imagined that just when the investment contract was about to be signed, Sykes Technology offended the Overwatch League and collapsed directly.

This caused the investment that Zhao Hailun had worked so hard to obtain to go to waste.

"I'm so unlucky, right?" Zhao Hailun said depressedly, "What if the collapse of Sykes Technology is delayed for another two or three days? The contract has been signed, and the initial funds have been deposited into my studio. I don't care about Sykes Technology anymore! Now... if there is no more capital investment, my laboratory will go bankrupt. I guess I will have to find a job in a biological company to pay off my debts."

"What should we do now?"

Zhao Hailun thought.

Sykes Technology is completely hopeless. I heard that it will be acquired by the Overwatch League. In the short term, it is estimated that it will not have the energy to invest in scientific experiments. This path is hopeless.

She had to find a new way.

But it's too hard.

Yes, Zhao Hailun is very capable and has a high IQ. She is able to create such a great technology as "Cradle of Life". She is amazing. Whoever invests in her will definitely make a lot of money.

But that was later, after the Cradle of Life had been developed and put into practical use, everyone knew how powerful the Cradle of Life was.

Now, the Cradle of Life is just a scientific research project of Zhao Hailun. Who knows what this project will eventually evolve into?

What if it's a fraud like Elizabeth Holmes?

In this world, it is not possible to get ahead just because you have strong abilities. For example, Ivan Vanko's father, Anthony Vanko, created the epoch-making super technology of the Ark Reactor, but did he do well? He lived like a beggar!

Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it.

Without sufficient funds to develop the "Cradle of Life" project, no matter how capable Zhao Hailun is, his abilities will be useless.

We can only do things that ordinary biological scientists can do under the pressure of reality.

Zhao Hailun found a cafe and had a cup of coffee to calm down. Suddenly, she found a tweet on Twitter about the Overwatch League recruiting new members.

"It's quite interesting." Zhao Hailun was very interested in learning more about it. After a while, she muttered to herself, "Others can join the Watcher Alliance by showing their superpowers, so can I bring my plan and look for investment from the Watcher Alliance?"

“It’s very likely!”

But Zhao Hailun had already found out that Sykes Technology, which was preparing to invest in her laboratory, was in the process of being acquired by the Overwatch League. This showed that the Overwatch League was not just a pure superhero platform, but also attached importance to the role of technology. Her "Cradle of Life" plan might be valued by the Overwatch League.

Because once her "Cradle of Life" technology is developed, once the superheroes of the Overwatch League are injured, her "Cradle of Life" can heal the pain instantly. This is a very practical biological science technology.

"That's it! I'll go to the Overwatch League for an interview soon!"

Zhao Hailun made the decision.

"Besides... Overwatch also has Black Superman, hehe!"

Zhao Hailun became obsessed with him.

Although she has a high IQ and strong abilities, she is a real womanizer and likes men like Black Superman who are strong and have good bodies.

Said without politeness.

She is the flesh fan of Black Superman.

If she could sleep with Superman, Zhao Hailun would feel that her life would be worth it.

“Slurp——!”

Zhao Hailun swallowed his saliva:

"Joining the Overwatch League not only gives me experimental funds, but also gives me the opportunity to get close to Dark Superman. The one who is close to the water gets the moon first! Who knows, maybe in the future... hehe."

"When I defeat Black Superman and become a close friend of Guan and Bao, not only will I be able to satisfy my wish of sleeping with my idol, but by then, the Overwatch League should be open to me, right? Then I will never lack experimental funds again, and I can research whatever I want!"

Zhao Hailun knows a little-known fact: good jobs, like AIDS, are only transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, blood, and sex.

I recommend a book by a big guy called "Sowing the Worlds from Under One Person". It has an average subscription of 6,000 and is worth reading.

Chapter 214: Small branches bear fruit

During the interview, Apshar and the others encountered a bunch of weirdos, most of whom were ordinary people trying to take advantage of the situation, and some superpowers with rubbish abilities. It was so eye-catching that it felt like watching an audition...

at last.

A beautiful lady arrived at the recruitment site.

Both Eddie and Michelangelo's eyes lit up.

“I’m Ava Ayala.”

White Tiger, assigned by S.H.I.E.L.D., came to attend the Overwatch recruitment meeting. She was wearing a black leather jacket with smooth lines that outlined her slender figure and made her look more heroic.

She wore a pair of black riding boots decorated with silver metal ornaments, revealing a strong yet elegant temperament.

"My superpower is that I have a jade tiger amulet."

Baihu grabbed the talisman on his chest and showed it to Apshar and the others:

"It has magical powers that allow me to transform, strengthen my physical fitness in all aspects, and naturally master martial arts."

Apshar was also relieved. After seeing so many weirdos, he finally saw a relatively normal extraordinary person.

Moreover, the white tiger is very good-looking and pleasing to the eye.

Apshar is also a person with normal aesthetics.

"Can you show us what you're capable of?"

Apshar asked with a smile.
