Chapter 2: Elcid L. Stoker
"Elcid L. Stoker, the youngest professor of literature at Columbia University, the most famous American writer in the new era, the biggest favorite of the Hugo Award, "The Twilight Zone", "A Song of Ice and Fire", "The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings" Each of his books is a bestseller in North America and even the world, and he is full of valuable news, but you, Eddie Bullock, have a chance to get close to him but don't get any favorable news!! โ
Jonah Jameson, the owner of the Daily Clarion, waved his hands in his office and roared angrily at the young reporter who was interviewing El. "And you, Peter Parker, you were at that university at the time. Why not take advantage of the opportunity? Elcid is worth a hundred times more than that busker Spider-Man! A hundredfold! As soon as the spearhead turned, Jonah rebuked Peter, who was standing aside.
"Hi boss. I'm just a part-time worker, not a professional reporter for Clarion Daily, and you should be looking for this dude for Elcid's reporting. If you don't want Spider-Man news, I can sell it to someone else. In the face of Jonah's anger, Peter seemed to care, how could the little spider who was coaxing his angry girlfriend pay attention to Elcid?
And the little spider is actually a little dissatisfied with Elcid, because of the reason for coaxing Gwen, the little spider's already dissatisfied wallet has become clean like a new one.
For Peter, Jonah has no choice, the world's Clarion Daily is just a second-rate newspaper, Spider-Man is the only news and gimmick that Clarion Daily can come up with, once Peter Parker, who can always catch Spider-Man news, the sales of Clarion Daily will decline again, and the majority of New Yorkers still prefer this "good citizen of New York".
"Get out!" Jonah's forehead was bruised.
Peter shrugged his shoulders and turned away, leaving Eddie Bullock alone to bear the wrath of Jonah Jameson.
When Peter left, there was a thunderclap in Jonah's office, and it was clear that Jonah was angry. After Peter left for a moment, Eddie came out of Jonah's office with a broken skin on his forehead, making it clear that Jonah was angry with Eddie. Outside the office, the employees of the Horn Daily looked at Eddie sympathetically, but before anyone could comfort Eddie, Jonah's voice came from the office again.
"What are you doing? Didn't I raise you to eat dry food, all go to work, and want to be fired? Eddie Bullock, tomorrow I'm going to see a perfect article about Elced as the headline tomorrow. โ
In the city of New York, unemployment is a very scary thing, and losing money means losing everything. New York is a land of dreams, but also an abyss hell, everyone wants to develop here, but it does not mean that everyone can achieve it, there are many people who realize their dreams in New York, but compared to the people in the slums, it is simply not worth mentioning. So although Jonah James was mean and unusual, the people who worked here obviously didn't want to move to the Bronx, so they had to work hard and put up with Jonah's stinky temper.
Eddie Bullock clenched his fists and his face distorted, but after some struggle, he put down his hand in vain and slowly returned to his working position, and the person next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with Jonah, once the powerless Eddie makes an excesse, it must be Eddie who is unlucky, because this is the power of capital.
At this time, El obviously didn't know what happened to Eddie Bullock, and he didn't think that the little reporter he played at Imperial State University was the famous first-line villain in Marvel in the future-Venom. But even if you know, El probably won't care, because this world is no longer the original Marvel world, Batman has already appeared, and the world line has changed.
Who knows if Eddie Bullock will still be Venom? And even if Eddie Bullock becomes Venom, El won't care, because the enemies and abilities El faces are far more powerful than Venom.
At this time, El's house was in a joyous atmosphere, and the old Mike's family, himself, his wife Andrea, and his daughter Rume were having a dinner with Valita and El.
"Now, let's raise a glass. Celebrate El's new book selling even more! Valita sat down on the throne and raised her glass.
Everyone raised their glasses, and since it was a family feast, the two gangs parted after the meal, Valita and Old Mac talked about trivial matters, while Elme went to the courtyard with Rume.
"El, congratulations on the publication of your new book." Although there was a congratulatory tone in his mouth, Lu Mei's face was full of sadness.
"Rumei, what's the trouble?" El slowly took Rume's hand and comforted him in a soft tone.
"Nothing." Rume clearly didn't want to say more. Although El is a little cold to outsiders, in the face of Rume, who is his childhood sweetheart, El obviously can't force her to express her worries.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, El couldn't help but change the topic. "Want to know the full content of "The Three-Body Problem" in advance? It's an exclusive secret. El teased.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Rume gladly accepted El's advice.
Time flies, and in a short time it is late at night, and Old Michael leaves El's manor with the family. Before leaving, Rumey suddenly said to El; "El, what I'm trying to say is, no, I mean, what do you think of mutants? Or rather, what do you think of mutants? Rume looked at El with great anticipatory eyes, beautiful lake blue.
"A very interesting group of people." This is Eyre's truth, because although mutants seem strange now, but with the passage of time, when all kinds of strange existences gradually jump out, mutants are nothing, and the "people" that El knows are more peculiar than mutants.
Hearing Elcid's words, Rume let out a sigh of relief, then showed the best smile of the day, and left very happily.
Standing outside the house, Elcid thought to himself, "So it's the ability to awaken?" This little girl. โ
"El, come back. It's late, it's time to rest. โ
"Okay, Mom." El slowly walked back to his room.
But when he returned to his room, El did not rest, but cautiously walked through the attic to the back of his house.
"Hi, El. You're late this time, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. A dark shadow burst out of the grass beside it.
"Hey! Raphael. This time there was a delay, and there was a little noise, and my mother had just fallen asleep. โ
"Oh! Profound! Profound! Our good baby, Mr. Elcid, is all about dating girls, because this one cruelly abandoned poor Mr. Raphael, woo......"
Elcid, who saw a huge green-skinned turtle selling cuteness, couldn't bear it, so he said, "Poor Mr. Raphael, I have the best pizza in New York here, and if Mr. Raphael doesn't want it, then I can only throw it away, it's a pity." As he spoke, Elcid also made a gesture of throwing away.
โNO๏ผโ Raphael quickly snatched the pizza from El's hand, then opened the manhole cover next to him.
"Sure enough, it was the right choice for me to take care of the joints. Hurry up! Mr. Princet and Michelangelo: they've been waiting for a long time. โ
The big green-skinned turtle in front of him is a member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and when Elcid was ten years old, Elcid met the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the streets of New York who were beating up the gangsters.
Feeling that he was in danger, Elcid resolutely used various ways to connect with them, and then after more than a year of hard work, he successfully became Prince's apprentice, although the strength of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can be said to be at the bottom of the superheroes, but their skills can be said to be very superb.
Especially Prince, Princet is not only a martial arts master, but also a good teacher who is good at teaching others, just like Captain America, who plays with a shield and plays with thieves, but no one else can learn it, so it is of little use to El.
Due to the fact that he was a martial artist since he was a child and was a member of the Celestial Empire in his previous life, Elcid was able to learn the martial arts taught by Prรผster very quickly, which made the four big turtles very jealous, because it only took three years for Elcid's martial arts to fully reach their level, causing Prist to use Elcid as an example to spur them.
Following in Raphael's footsteps, Elcid soon felt the base of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
"Now, you're going to take your training a step further." Princet said, standing in front of Elcid. "Pick up your weapons, now the Foot Gang is plotting at a foot in Brooklyn, now it's up to you to follow Leonardo to stop them."
"What's more, this time it can only be done by El, and unless he is in danger of life and death, he must not be helped." Princet said to Leonardo, who was standing beside him.
"Yes, I see." Elcid knew that this was Prince's test of himself, and Elcid knew that it was also a test of himself, and that only the strong could protect their treasures in this dangerous world.
Arriving at the place where he stored his weapons, Elcid put on a black light armor, a silver half-iron mask, and picked up two spears, one long and one short, and a knight's sword on his back.
These weapons are not ordinary, as they come from Elcid's Goldfinger, the dimensional system. These weapons are the weapons of the great heroes of the other worlds, and they have used them to make many immortal achievements, and now Elcid wants to use them to build his own merits.
