491 - Leon
"AFP reported that BlackGuard has benefited all mankind for the third time after overcoming the field of cancer and Alzheimer's disease and using bionic organ transplantation instead of human organ transplantation, and its biomedical division announced today that due to the technological innovation in the field of stem cells, the cost of the 'aging reversal treatment program' will continue to be reduced, from $200,000 to $30,000 to $50,000 per person in the previous year."
"It took only six years for Blackguard to fulfill its promise to bring the 'Aging Reversal Therapy Program' to civilian prices."
"According to the big data analysis of the Earth Federation Physiological and Health Research Group in the past three years, from the start of the 'Aging Reversal Project' in 2023 to the present, the average life expectancy of human groups has soared from 70 years old to 78 years old today, of which the average life expectancy of North America, Europe, Central, East China Sea and other developed continents of the Federation has exceeded 85 years old, and this average value is still increasing rapidly with time!"
"According to experts' predictions, by 2050, the average life expectancy of all human beings is expected to exceed 110 years......
A few days later, in a garage in a dark corner of New York City, three men and one woman were sitting in front of a projector that watched BlackWorth's exclusive North America TV channel play.
At this time, it seemed that it was time for dinner, and the four of them were all holding various fast food in their hands, feasting at their respective positions, and one of the men in a white vest had several empty cans of beer in front of him.
"At this point, the next step is to delay retirement."
Suddenly, a woman with pink hair suddenly spoke, and she said sullenly, "This proposal has been supported by several states, and it is not until the tone is set in Congress." β
"I have to say that Blackwater's initiative is still very good, at least the aging of the population has been alleviated."
Another black man shrugged, "It's just bitter for our bunch of leeks......"
"Enough digital, don't say nice things about this company in front of me, or I'll kick you in the ass!"
Before the black young man could finish speaking, the man in the vest interrupted the conversation, and he slammed down the beer can, spitting out the smell of alcohol and said viciously.
"OK, no problem."
The black youth innocently raised his hands in a throwing gesture and turned away at the same time.
"Don't make any noise, let's watch this live broadcast, after all, the lamb is also in it."
The pink-haired woman stopped the two and immediately persuaded them.
With her words, the ad finally finished playing on the screen in front of everyone and began to enter the theme - as the screen flashed, the words "Call of Duty" suddenly appeared on the screen, followed by a burst of impassioned music.
Then, the image of the three BHB Men was shown on the screen, and then the image of the three gradually faded away, and then became the iconic red, blue and white flag of North America.
In short, after a thrilling opening animation, the theme finally enters the scene, with a bald man in a camouflage uniform appearing on the screen.
The man not only has a strong figure, but also has tough and three-dimensional facial features, which is somewhat similar to Vin Diesel when he was young.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2028 Call of Duty show - Bionic Men Tryouts, I'm Algernon, the host of the North America region, this year's tryouts are not the same as last year's, because with BlackWorth's technological innovation, there are many fewer requirements for bionic prosthetic users, so starting this year, our participants will no longer be severely disabled military or police officers, but will join many mildly disabled people......"
"Because of this, the number of participants in this year's region has increased significantly, and the number of participants in North America has reached 100, and we will examine this group of participants according to the process of triathlon, combat test, firearm accuracy test, etc., and we also ask everyone in front of the TV to support their favorite athletes, and the way to support them is ...... on the barcode at the bottom of the screen."
With the words of the TV host, the process of this program began on the screen.
This show is a talent show launched by Blacklight Technology to promote bionic prosthetics.
This selection method can not only expand the local police force, but also become a qualified bionic combat police officer as long as you go through a part of the systematic training and pass the assessment.
And some of these outstanding players can even get the opportunity to 'debut' and have the opportunity to become superheroes as internationally renowned as the BHB Squad at the beginning.
Because of the existence of various superhero themes in the movie, these bionic cops are almost worshipped as idols all over the world, which has led to the dream of countless teenagers to become police officers, for which all major governments are happy to see, so they have not stopped it in the slightest, which has led to the show getting bigger and bigger, and even making it an entertainment program that surpasses WWE in the NBA.
At this time, as the show began, the first batch of contestants who passed the primary selection were interviewed, and they were asked to talk about some ideas about bionic prosthetics and the crime rate in society, so that the audience had a preliminary understanding of this group of people, and then it was a test of various abilities, including physical and psychological fitness.
At the end of the show, the audience in front of the TV voted to select some of the contestants who qualified for the promotion.
And this time, Leon on TV still showed his unique opinions, and his thinking and pursuit of justice really aroused the interest of some viewers, so that these people voted for him.
At the end of the two-hour program, Leon unsurprisingly made the cut, making it to the third round of selection with twelve people, and was offered an employment contract with BlackWorth on the spot.
In fact, at this point, Leon entered BlackWorth's company and became a bionic soldier is already a sure thing, and the third round of selection, semi-finals and finals in the next few days, etc., is actually more like choosing who can debut in the C position and become a superhero-like existence like BHB.
After watching Leon successfully break into the interior of BlackWorth as a promoter on the screen and become an employee of BlackWatch, everyone in the garage suddenly cheered and threw beer.
"Great, what we've been trying to do is finally working, Leon is finally in this damn company!"
The man in the vest yelled, "The good fortune of Blackwater is coming to an end!" β
There was a lot of commotion.
The woman with only pink hair frowned, "Leon can only say that he has initially entered this company, but if you want to get BHB's black history or even the handle of this company, you don't know how many efforts it will take, and now is not the time to be happy." β
Once persuaded and finally persuaded this group of hot-headed people, the woman sighed secretly and looked silently out of the garage door.
Can a group of people really beat that company that spans the world?
β¦β¦
By the time the first game was over, it was late at night.
Leon wandered alone in a wheelchair in the streets of the night, the night wind blew, although with a hint of coolness, but he only felt a wave of excitement flowing all over his body, when facing the camera, he seemed to see countless people waving to him, this was the first time in his life to stand in the limelight.
And he couldn't have enjoyed it......
After he took the subway, he couldn't wait to find a spot to stop and start turning on his phone to check the barrage and comments when the previous show was played.
How well these people in the show performed, whether they had potential, and whether they were liked by the audience, these can be answered from the barrage, and Leon found that his popularity in this selection competition was even better than expected, and in the whole show, except for a contestant with the same excellent performance, there were the most people who supported him.
Looking at the barrage of cheering on himself, the corners of Leon's mouth couldn't help but provoke an irrepressible smile.
"Excuse me, is it Pedro LeΓ³n?"
Just when Leon lowered his head and immersed himself in joy, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Leon subconsciously raised his head, and suddenly saw a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old standing in front of him, and asked a little nervously.
"I am, you are ......"
Leon asked subconsciously.
"Ah, it's really you!"
The girl let out a cheer, and then she took out a book from her backpack with some hastiness, "Leon, I also watched Call of Duty at school today, you did really well, can you sign me?" β
"Sign, sign?"
Leon was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, "But I'm just an ordinary person......"
"No, I think you're going to be a superhero like the BHB Warriors!"
The girl hurriedly shook her head and said solemnly, "I believe in you!" β
"Okay......"
Leon nodded, took the pen and book handed by the girl, and wrote his name on it crookedly, "I'm sorry, my handwriting isn't pretty." β
"It's okay!"
The girl took back the notebook with a happy face and carefully stuffed her schoolbag back like a treasure, "Come on Leon, you will definitely win this competition!" β
The conversation between the two seemed to alarm everyone next to them, and several teenagers rushed up to surround Leon, and one of the boys was immediately surprised when he saw Leon's face, "It's really Leon, I saw you just now, I just think it looks like it but I'm not sure." β
"Leon, sign me too!"
The little fat man next to him was not to be outdone.
Suddenly, Leon was surrounded by a group of teenagers......
Leon dealt with the teenagers unfamiliarly, and before he knew it, there was a subtle sense of satisfaction in his originally empty heart.
Perhaps, can he really become a world-famous superhero like the three people in BHB? No, they are all hypocritical plays, and only I am the real hero of justice!
Slowly, Leon had such an idea in his heart......
β¦β¦
Over the next few days, the other four suddenly found that Leon, who had been more introverted and easy-going, began to become more active, full of motivation throughout the day, immersed in VR virtual training every day.
In order to get a better ranking, the three raised money to customize a pair of high-end bionic prosthetics for Leon in advance, allowing Leon to stand up from his wheelchair.
In fact, since the third round of elimination, Blacklight Technology has brought together contestants from all regions of North America and customized corresponding bionic prosthetics for them.
After all, from the third round, the contestants' combat ability will be tested.
From fighting to firearms, to actual combat drills, these require a lot of experience to accumulate, especially since Leon's opponents are basically retired soldiers or police officers.
But because of this, Leon, who is young and youthful at the same time, naturally stood out among the contestants and gained a lot of attention.
By the time the third round of Call of Duty began, Leon had already accumulated a lot of experience, and the third round was no longer a one-day event like the second, but a week-long reality show.
Throughout the week, the competition will record the journey of each participant, as well as the training footage after regaining the custom prosthesis, until the final day, when everyone will be put to the test.
LeΓ³n, on the other hand, lived up to expectations once again, successfully advancing in the third match with the second score but the first favorite, and qualified for the fourth semi-final.
And in this game, Leon's popularity also began to rise, becoming a hot topic in North America.
And Leon, immersed in applause and spotlight, finds himself beginning to have to face another fact......
"What, you want me to give up the next game?"
In the dimly lit garage, Leon stood in the doorway, looking at the four people in front of him in disbelief.
"I'm sorry Leon, the plan has changed, you have to do it this way."
The pink-haired woman whispered, "You know, all of our activities are funded by an employer named Cain, who yesterday sent an order to stop participating in the competition, because we have another plan to execute, and we must all participate......"
"I don't really understand."
Leon shook his head, "I'm about to become the Regional Champion of Call of Duty, and I may even hope to become a Global Champion, and then I'll be as famous as the BHB Troops......"
