The next morning, Clark Kent, wearing a light gray casual suit, carrying a handbag, and changing his hairstyle, appeared on time at the headquarters of the Planet Daily in New York.
The clothes he wore were sponsored by Merlin. The two were about the same height, but compared to Merlin's thin and slender body, Clark seemed more robust.
Therefore, this magic suit that can slightly change the appearance according to the user's body shape will appear a little tight when worn on Clark, but it will show Clark's perfect muscle lines.
He stood at the door of the newspaper, like a bodybuilder, attracting the attention of many girls.
Several carnivorous women even came to chat with Clark, which made the innocent young man a little busy. To be honest, Clark was a little nervous, after all, it was his first job besides the farmer.
He reached out and pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose. It was a glasses that were very similar to Merlin's Icarus, and the frame was black, which really added a touch of steady temperament to the young Clark.
This pair of glasses that seem ordinary are actually not ordinary. This was made by George, a superbrain man. In addition to changing Clark's pupils from black to gray-brown, he also used the principle of distorting light to change part of his face.
This made Clark’s glasses look a little different before and after he took off his glasses.
If you are not an acquaintance, it is difficult to connect the two people together as soon as possible.
A few minutes later, Clark followed the newspaper staff and stepped into the headquarters of the Planet Daily. He politely asked about the entry procedures from the front desk lady, and then walked up to the third floor.
The onboarding process went smoothly, and it was a bit beyond Clark's imagination.
I don’t know what Merlin added to his resume and what kind of job seeker he had packaged him as, which made Clark start to think about it again.
He sat on the office chair he assigned to, and as soon as he put his handbag on the table, he heard a pretty good voice from a woman.
"You're Clark Kent? The war correspondent who just returned from Afghanistan?"
“???”
Clark looked up and looked at the girl in front of him.
She had long wavy black hair, a cold face, but pretty, wearing a white shirt and a black short skirt, with a reporter's ID on her chest. She held her arms and looked down at Clark, and a mature big sister's breath came to her face.
However, this lady seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble.
"Yes, I'm Clark."
Clark was also joking in his heart. He could think that Merlin must have tampered with his resume in order to get him to join the company, but he did not expect that Merlin actually placed him a character of a "war correspondent".
No wonder the job is so smooth
"I read some of your previous reports. Those who dare to go deep into the rebel base for interviews must be very brave. I personally admire such colleagues."
The lady stared at Clark, as if she was about to see Clark's heart from his calm face, and she said slowly:
"Speaking of this, 2 years ago, I also reported the war that lasted until now in Afghanistan, but I didn't seem to have heard of your name."
"Swish"
On the glasses in front of Clark, a ball of text suddenly appeared, including the identity information of the beautiful reporter in front of him, as well as some experiences on the battlefield in Afghanistan. This sudden assist made Clark narrow his eyes. He coughed lightly, looked at the words on the lens, and replied calmly:
"Louise Liann, 2-time Pulitzer Prize, is the most famous female journalist in New York, the true uncrowned king, I really admire the daimyo for a long time, and I personally appreciate the report you exposed corruption and crimes within.m a few years ago."
"As for why you haven't heard of me on the battlefield in Afghanistan, it's because I used a pseudonym at that time. After all, we always have to protect ourselves and our loved ones when we work."
"You just need to know, Miss Lian, that report on the Ten Rings Gang leading civil strife in Afghanistan is just as good as I'm providing. As for why I left there, you can understand it as me. I hate war and see the cruelty of war. I want to do some easier work now."
Clark pushed his glasses and said as he took out his notebook from his handbag:
"Also, Miss Lianen, if nothing else, I'm going to start working."
"snort."
Miss Lianen snorted, and she slapped a reporter's ID on the table in front of Clark. The indifference on her face quickly turned into a gentle smile, and she said to Clark:
"Don't care about my temptation, Mr. Clark, but I don't want a fake in my news group."
"Your group?"
Clark looked at the ID, he raised his head and said to reporter Louise:
"You mean, I'm a member of your group now?"
"right."
Miss Lianen stretched her hair, and she reached out to Clark, she said:
"Welcome to join the best news group in New York. During your onboarding observation period, I will be your interim leader. Of course, I asked the editor to transfer you to my group, not to let a good former war correspondent like you do meaningless copywriting work. Now take the tools and follow me, and we go find the real big news!"
“What big news?”
Clark lifted his handbag and followed Miss Lian'en, who was graceful, out of the office. The latter said to Clark in a mysterious way:
"As an excellent journalist, you must maintain a keen sense and judgment. The recent discussions about artificial intelligence and robots in society have come too quickly. There must be other forces behind this to fuel the fire. Finding those who promote this is our mission. This is big news, and I have already felt it."
"Swish"
A line of words appeared on Clark's lens again, which was a message sent by Merlin.
After a while, Clark effortlessly carried the camera and some other instruments, followed Lianen into the parking lot, and said to Lianen:
"Lianen, I just thought about it. I think you have said a lot. There are indeed many doubts about the discussion of artificial intelligence, but I don't think it will be useful to interview scientists. I think we should focus on the key points."
"oh?"
Reporter Lian En turned around and met former "war correspondent" Clark, and she said curiously:
"What do you think?"
“My idea is very simple.”
Clark pushed black-framed glasses, he said:
"We went to find the real news shocking point, and we went to find Tony Stark, the playboy, who also released his opinions on the development of artificial intelligence a few days ago."
"He doesn't seem to agree with the mainstream view of the current scientific community, and most importantly, Tony Stark is a person who has scandals and often can't control his mouth. It's easier and more useful to interview him than to interview those old-fashioned scientists."
"Um"
Miss Lianen opened the car door, she frowned and thought for several minutes, and finally she nodded to Clark:
"You're saying something justified, but we don't have time to go to California."
"No."
Clark shook his head and said:
"Tony is not in California now, he is in New York."
“???”
Liann looked back at Clark in surprise, and she said:
"How do you know?"
Clark said with a full of confidence:
"As an excellent former war correspondent, I have my own information channels, anyway, just come with me."
—
Western journalist Clark's first day of work ended soon. At 8 pm, he took a taxi to Hell's Kitchen and came to Merlin's house.
“Huh?”
The one who opened the door for Clark was the green-haired girl Lorna. She looked at Clark in front of her. She quickly recognized Clark's suit and said in surprise:
"Who are you? Why are you wearing your brother's clothes?"
"Well, I'm Clark Kent, I'm Merlin's friend."
Clark squatted down and said to Lorna:
"You are Merlin's sister, I guess, your name is Riven?"
"No, my name is Lorna."
Lorna looked at Clark in front of her vigilantly. At her feet, the silly dog ​​Frank was also baring his teeth at Clark. Unlike Lorna, the alien dog Frank could easily feel Clark's power.
"Meow"
Gugu, who was lying on the stairs, jumped down from the second floor, jumped quickly to Lorna's shoulder. It stared at Clark, licking its paws and shaking its tail.
Anyone who is familiar with Gugu knows that this is a sign that Gugu is ready to attack.
"Oh? Clark, did you get off work so late?"
Merlin's voice came out of the house. He quickly walked to the door, picked up Gugu, then patted Lorna's head and said to her:
"Go and play with Riven. This is my friend. You can call him brother, or just call him Clark. He works in New York and will come to visit him often in the future."
"All right."
Lorna looked at Clark again, then waved at him, and ran back to the basement with Frank, where Riven was placing some potions, Lorna couldn't wait to make trouble.
"Your home is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon."
Clark looked at Gugu who was held in Merlin's arms. His Kryptonian senses made him feel a needle-like threat when he approached Gugu.
"Don't care."
Merlin waved his hand and said:
"I have children at home, so I have to make more preparations. Speaking of which, how does it feel to go to work on the first day?"
"not bad."
Clark put his handbag on the sofa, he took the beer handed over by Merlin, and he said:
"Miss Liane is an action-oriented person. I followed her to travel around half of New York. Unfortunately, I happened to have a trip with Mr. Tony Stark. This is a pity."
"It doesn't matter."
Merlin said:
"You have many opportunities to interview him in the future. As long as that girl no longer doubts you, it's enough. Speaking of which, Miss Lianen is also a very good girl. She has many suitors, aren't you moved?"
"Hello? No."
Clark and Merlin were chatting, and he complained:
"As long as I take a little more seriously, I can see the thick pores on Miss Lian'en's skin. I can smell her body odor and hear the sound of her stomach and intestines. Of course, I don't hate her, just."
The young Kryptonian sighed helplessly, and he said:
"Merlin, I didn't find a girlfriend, but there are actually factors in this regard. No matter how beautiful a girl is, she is full of shortcomings in my eyes. I am not a person who pursues perfection, but I am really."
"I can understand."
Merlin put the Gugu in her arms on the ground and leaned against the refrigerator. He said in empathy:
"When I was young, I would also look at those beautiful skins, but as my senses became more and more sharp, it would be difficult for those beautiful appearances to attract me again."
"As you said, perfection in the eyes of ordinary people is full of flaws in our eyes, but occasionally you have to let go of those prejudices and look directly at the soul under your skin. That's what I did."
Merlin shrugged, and he said to Clark with a slight smug look:
"But I'm lucky than you, my ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend are both the kind of women who are hard to find flaws."
"Oh, I don't want to talk about this."
Clark curled his lips, he felt that Merlin was showing off.
The Kryptonians' super perception, even if the beautiful ordinary woman is placed in front of them, her perfect body is full of shortcomings. In layman's terms, even when the two are together, Clark has to restrain his strength. As long as he uses a little force, it is enough to tear open the body of his partner around him.
In other words, even when he is doing some intimate behavior, he still has no fun to maintain this kind of restraint.
To describe it inappropriately, it is not durable.
He pushed his sleeves away and looked at the watch. The watch was given to him by Merlin. It had positioning and life signal monitoring devices, just like the watches of other Avengers members.
"Didn't you say you started training tonight?"
Clark said:
"It's almost 8:30, and I still have to wait for someone?"
"Yes, I have to wait for someone else."
Merlin said:
"But we can go to Xuanlan first, probably has prepared the training ground. Let's go and warm up first."
He walked to the bathroom and inserted the key of the mysterious house into the door lock, and said to Clark:
"I hope you are ready to be beaten"
"whispering sound."
Clark snorted disdainfully, he reached out to take off his black-framed glasses, and he said to Merlin:
Chapter completed!
