270. Economic crisis
"Feel it for yourself."
The bald young man Jackson said slowly, and then took off the glove of his left hand with his right hand......
The glove on his hand was strange, it was not an ordinary style, but it was attached to the cuff and connected with a zipper.
He slowly unzipped the combined zipper, and then flicked his left hand slightly, and the gloves that were still on his hand slipped out directly.
"This is ......" Yan Xiuze raised his eyebrows and looked at Jackson's exposed left hand with some surprise.
Like his head, the bare skin on his hands also showed an eerie sheen, as if it was also coated with lubricating oil, but on closer inspection, it didn't seem to be a liquid, but more like a transparent film attached to the surface of the skin.
Seeing that Jackson had already stretched out his left hand, Yan Xiuze naturally couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and slowly stretched out his left hand and shook it......
"Huh?" However, what Yan Xiuze didn't expect was that he had just grabbed Jackson's left hand, and he didn't grasp it steadily, and he actually "slipped" out all of a sudden!
"What the hell? It's so slippery......"
"That's my superpower......" Jackson said with a wry smile, "skin that has become extremely smooth." ”
"About two months ago, I awakened this superpower, but this superpower completely disrupted my life and made me miserable......"
"If I hadn't been wearing this special one-piece suit that was made for me, I wouldn't even be able to hold the knife and fork for dinner......"
"Because of this, I lost the new job I just found, no one wants to hire me, and superpowers don't make me a hero, but create a new cripple."
"By the way, I don't have a super physique."
Thomson glanced at Jackson with some sadness, although he had suffered a lot because of the horn on his forehead, but he was extremely lucky compared to this unfortunate young man who had almost lost his normal life.
"That's the case, the two of us actually lost our previous jobs because we awakened to become superpowers, and now we are desperate...... We heard that the 'League of Liberals' was recruiting members, so we planned to try our luck here......"
"Uh......" Yan Xiuze rubbed his somewhat stiff face, carefully considered his tone and said, "I already have a basic understanding of the situation of the two of you......"
"I am deeply sympathetic to what happened to the two of them......
"However, everything is still done according to the rules, and we will do a further in-depth assessment of the qualifications of the two of them...... Until then, the two of you can stay here for a while and enjoy the natural beauty of Iceland. ”
After that, Yan Xiuze glanced at Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo knew it in his heart, and took Thomson and Jackson to leave the living room temporarily.
After ......the two left, Yan Xiuze breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the soft sofa, and kept pressing the root of the mountain, looking extremely troubled.
"What do you think?" Minglang closed the laptop in his hand, lifted the frame of his glasses, and pouted.
"What do you think?"
"Those two people, do you want to stay or not?"
Yan Xiuze exhaled a long breath, slowly opened his half-closed eyes, and asked, "Have these two people had any bad records before?" ”
"Two blank sheets of paper, no criminal record...... Not even a criminal record, not even the most basic violation record. Minglang gloated and said, "Completely law-abiding and exemplary American citizens." ”
"That'...... There's no reason not to take them. Yan Xiuze said helplessly: "These two people are indeed superpowers, and they have no criminal records in the past, so they fully meet the recruitment requirements of the Alliance of the Freed...... Now that you've set the rules, you can't really break your word and get fat, right? ”
"Wait, are you really going to take the two of them?" The gloating smile on Minglang's face at this time gradually disappeared, and he said seriously: "The Alliance of the Liberals is not a good hall, we still have to pay them every month!" ”
"So what? It's not that we don't have money, it's a big deal to raise two idlers, and no organization can recruit a few janitors! Yan Xiuze said with some disapproval.
"Who told you we're rich?" Minglang scratched his hair and said with a little annoyance.
"Each of us superheroes has our own character copyright, and we can have a share of the super hero movies or comics based on us, and even the peripherals!" Yan Xiuze was stunned and said: "As long as you don't squander it wantonly, it's enough, right?" ”
"It used to be like this...... But now it's different. Ming Lang sighed and said, "Don't forget, we have now established the Alliance of the Liberals, why do you think Ou Cheng's Arrow Group gave us the underground scientific research base here in Reykjavik as the headquarters of the Alliance?" It's just exchanged for the copyrights of several of you's characters! ”
"Huh? Why didn't I know about this? When Yan Xiuze heard this, he jumped up from the sofa in shock.
"How could you not know? Didn't you sign the contract yourself? Minglang complained.
"That contract is hundreds of pages! How could I read it word for word? Yan Xiuze said loudly.
"But I should have picked out the key terms of the contract for you, right? I don't think you said anything, did you? ”
"Admit it, Yan Xiuze, you haven't read that contract at all!" Minglang pointed at Yan Xiuze's nose and roared loudly.
"Ou Cheng, this profiteer......" Yan Xiuze sat back on the sofa a little dejectedly and muttered to himself.
"Not only that, but this underground scientific research base also has a very expensive maintenance fee every month, so you can find a way to plug this funding gap first." Minglang said coldly: "If you can't pay the money then, don't blame people for giving you water, power, and IFI ......."
"Stop...... "Yan Xiuze only felt that it was dark in front ......of him, and it was even more uncomfortable to let him live in a world without a wireless network.
"Okay...... It's useless to complain about these now......" After a while, Yan Xiuze eased up, and sighed: "Then do we have any way to make money now?" ”
"Of course." The corners of Minglang's mouth curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Do you know what your most valuable skill is?" No, it should be said, do you know what the most valuable skills of the vast majority of superpowers are? ”
"What is it?" Minglang obviously wanted to sell a pass, but Yan Xiuze thought about it carefully, but it was still difficult to think of what he was referring to.
Minglang stared at Yan Xiuze's white eyes for a long time before slowly spit out two words:
"Violence."
