Chapter 3343 Selection

 How do superheroes get their superpowers? It’s because they were injected with compound No. 5 when they were still in the womb. Of course, Vought will not promote it like this. Instead, it promotes the theory of superhero destiny, saying that superheroes are destined to be chosen by God.

A son is nobler than ordinary people.

The theory of destiny is so popular that there is even a religion that specializes in baptism by superheroes, believing that this can bring people closer to heaven.

If it is destiny, then ordinary people will never be qualified to become superheroes.

"Do you want to be a superhero? Do you want to maintain the safety of the city? Do you want to master super powers? Don't miss it if you pass by. The world's first superhero selection event is sponsored by Chaoying App. You can become a super hero without super powers.

Hero, waiting for you." Dulan hired a special advertising company to plan, and launched various publicity activities. The streets of the subway were full of selection posters, which looked a bit like recruitment advertisements.

"No matter you are rich or poor, no matter you are thin or strong, no matter you are a man or a woman, as long as you have a heroic heart, the Superhero Selection Contest welcomes you."

After the overwhelming publicity, the number of downloads of the Chaoying app exceeded 100 million, and it is still rising steadily. It is no problem to exceed one billion globally.

Watt Company also discovered that someone wanted to select superheroes, but they were not in a hurry. After all, their foundation was a pharmaceutical company, and they did not believe that there were other companies that could create drugs like Compound No. 5. They decided to wait and see what happened and see what superheroes would do.

How to select heroes in the app.

Superhero selection is very simple. It is to arrange various challenges, select the best group of people, give them superhero abilities, and let them protect the world. Among them, the ideological and moral character of putting others before yourself is a very important criterion.

.

It doesn't matter if you are thin. Anyway, with the blessing of technology, losing weight will not have any impact.

More than 800,000 people signed up to participate. Obviously many people want to become superheroes.

Some people simply want to be famous, some feel that the world is too ugly and they should do something, some want to prove themselves, and some have a sense of mission from the bottom of their hearts...

Anyway, the reasons for participating are various, and they all want to be heroes.

Duran directly copied the standards of the Athena God Warrior, divided them into three levels: bronze, white shadow, and gold, and also created three different technological holy clothes.

There are 48 bronzes, 24 silvers, and 12 golds, creating 88 sets of gorgeous holy clothes. If you don't look at anything else, just seeing the big scene is enough to make everyone look forward to it.

What kind of hero is qualified to wear such a suit?

The selection started soon, with both civil and military skills. The main test was courage and moral character. Other attributes were irrelevant and could be compensated for by technology.

"Only eighty-eight heroes were selected? This is too few." Everyone thought the number was too small.

Duran told them: "It doesn't matter if you are not selected. We still need many honorary heroes. Behind a famous superhero there are countless unknown heroes. Those who carry the burden in obscurity are the real heroes."

Superheroes alone cannot protect the world. Even a lonely man like Batman has a butler behind him. And a strong man like Superman also needs the assistance of firefighters and police departments. Iron Man has created a mechanical army.

, but I still have my girlfriend and brother to help me.

A superhero cannot really protect the city, a hero only handles what a hero can handle.

At the press conference, someone asked a tricky question: "Excuse me, Mr. Du, many criminals have made powerful weapons based on the short videos of the Super Hero app to carry out criminal activities, but you are here to select superheroes. Do you have self-respect?"

Suspicion?"

"First of all, the Chaoying app is completely in compliance with national laws and does not involve any act of assisting crime. What you are saying is like saying that it is illegal for gun shops to sell guns and knife shops to sell knives. It is not guns and knives that kill people, but guns and knives that kill people.

People. Good people will use the knowledge in it to protect themselves and their families after watching the short video. Bad people will commit crimes after watching the short video. I believe there are still many good people in the world. As for raising criminals to respect themselves, it is even more irrelevant. We select superheroes.

, I just think that the bloodline theory of superheroes is very popular nowadays, so we find another way to select heroes without bloodline, that’s it.”

"But it is an indisputable fact that Chaoying App has led to an increase in the crime rate. You can use the parts of household appliances that can be found everywhere to create terrifying weapons. Now some congressmen think that the sale of household appliances should be banned. Do you have anything to say?"

"Because of choking, I still insist on my original point of view. The increase in crime rate has nothing to do with the app. It is entirely due to the entire social atmosphere. Everyone does not trust each other and is full of suspicion. It is the soil for crime. It is not the app that is wrong, it is wrong.

It's the world." Duran said.

"But because of the app, many people who were originally incapable of committing crimes also have the ability to commit crimes. There is no doubt about this," the reporter said.

"There is no evidence for what you said. Do you need to be able to commit crimes? Just think about it. Even if there is no app, they can still buy swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. Do you think gun stores should be closed?"

If you want to ban guns, this reporter will probably be shot in the back and commit suicide.

Du Lan said that it is not illegal to teach people to make weapons, but it is illegal to give people the right to speak. Currently, Chaoying App has not started to snatch the traditional media's right to speak, so there is no problem.

The reporter was helpless when he saw that Duran refused to admit it, and he did not dare to mention the gun ban.

Vought Company also expressed magnanimity regarding the superhero tryout, saying in response: "We welcome more companies to join the superhero industry and allow superheroes to develop healthily." Although the company is discussing how to respond internally, externally,

The propaganda was very generous.

What if there is a superhero team that is on par with the Super Seven? And since they don’t use Compound No. 5, they will definitely get more support, which is not a good thing for Vought.

To be honest, if you meet other competitors, you can just let them assassinate you. But the opponents also have superheroes, so it will be difficult to take action.

Moreover, at this time, news about Compound No. 5 was leaked, and the company was still facing the risk of blackmail.

"It's true that blessings and misfortunes never come singly. Forget it, let's focus on militarizing heroes." Right now, the biggest goal of Vought is to incorporate superheroes into national defense and eat into the national defense budget.

National defense is a big business. Vought is a company after all, and superheroes are just operational projects, so their primary goal is to make profits, not to protect the people.

However, the defense budget is limited, and part of the funds will be allocated after superheroes join, so established military industrial companies are unwilling to accept superheroes.

Watt Company found many people to lobby.

In the parliamentary system, lobbying groups are very important. Just like the lobbyists in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they all present advantages and disadvantages and exchange benefits.

Lobbyists in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period would use the funds given by their employers to lobby, and they would even eat both sides.

It’s not that people on both sides are stupid, the main role of lobbyists is brokers and middlemen. The most important thing for aristocrats is boundaries, and boundaries naturally bring distrust, so specialized people are needed to build trust.

The same goes for lobbying groups. They act as brokers and guarantors between different legislators and different companies, and they also bear risks.

Because the business of defense funds has been occupied by military industrial companies, it is difficult for Vought to join. But as long as it succeeds, the defense budget will be huge, 800 billion a year, 2 billion for a warship, and 2 billion for a water cup.

Two thousand, Vought's superheroes must be worth twenty to thirty billion dollars.
