Chapter 208: New Skills (Ask for Subscription~)
Bob Rickman, who was a salesman from the small town of Smallville more than a decade ago, was a particularly bad salesman. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but since the meteor shower landed in the small town of Smallville more than a decade ago, he has become an ace salesman. Not only that, but he also established Rickman Enterprises on his own in the past ten years, and became a millionaire step by step.
If it was just that, Lex wouldn't be disgusted with this person. But the key is that each factory built by Bob Rickman turns the local land environment into a wasteland, knowing that many of the materials needed by Lex's industries need to be obtained in the relevant land environment, so that Lex's industry will be negatively affected by these wastelands.
It stands to reason that this Bob Rickman should have been invited to tea by the relevant departments, but the law at this time did not manage this kind of problem perfectly, and Bob Rickman has been working in accordance with the requirements of the law. So even if Lex wanted to use legal means to get him into trouble, he had no choice but to stop it.
It was because of this that Lex was particularly disgusted with the other party.
"Lex, although you live in this town and open a factory, it doesn't mean that everything in this town belongs to you."
After hearing Lex's words, a smug smile appeared on Bob's face: "It's like saying that this café doesn't belong to you, and you don't have the right to let me leave." ”
"Oh?"
Instead of being annoyed in the slightest, Lex laughed and said, "So what? What are you doing here? Is it because business has gone bad, so you're back to working as a salesman in this small town with this disgusting spurious smile? ”
"Seriously, Bob. I've seen your sales pitches, and the way you do it is really rotten. But you can convince others again and again, you can't be a mutant, right? ”
Hearing this, Bob's face changed, and his heart stopped beating for a moment, completely unexpectedly that the other party would say the biggest secret in his heart with an unintentional word. After all, Bob was able to slowly develop from a very poor salesman to a big boss, and his superpowers can be said to be indispensable.
Bob's superpower is to temporarily control the opponent's mind through skin-to-skin contact, so that the opponent can do what he asks without resistance. Under normal circumstances, as long as the other party completes his request, he will automatically get out of his control and forget the memory of being controlled.
After becoming a superpower, Bob can be described as both happy and worried. Happily he can rely on this ability to improve his life, but the concern is that the people of this world are very hostile to mutants. (PS: In most people's eyes, there is no difference between superpowers and mutants.) )
You must know that Bob's superpowers seem to be very strong, but in fact there are many limitations. First of all, without skin-to-skin contact, Bob has no way to control others. Secondly, some relatively simple commands must be given when controlling the other party, otherwise it cannot be controlled. In addition, this control is also time-limited and will expire if the task to be completed by the target exceeds one day. Finally, if the person being controlled suffers some serious physical damage, they will also get out of control.
Bob is ambitious, but not without self-knowledge. He didn't want his carelessness to cause his superpowers to be discovered, and then the relevant law enforcement agencies would use his weaknesses to subdue him and use himself as a guinea pig for experiments.
Therefore, in the past ten years, while Bob's quality of life has improved, he is often frightened and does not dare to be too arrogant. Otherwise, with his ability, it is not difficult to become a billionaire in a year.
The secret in his heart was revealed by someone else's unintentional words, and even if Bob's mentality was good, he couldn't help but change his face in an instant.
After changing his face, Bob, who reacted quickly, immediately covered his previous expression with a smile. Said: "Lex, don't be so unfriendly, we are all businessmen, and we only value profits." Interests may make us look at each other unpleasantly, but interests also allow us to cooperate with each other. ”
How could Bob's change in that moment be hidden from Lex, who was particularly observant? So at that moment, Lex, who knew what he had inadvertently guessed, asked for help from Delos, who was secretly observing on a disk, and quietly stroked his special watch and secretly activated the mental ability shielding device. Then he continued to sarcastically say to the other party in the bad tone he had before:
"Yes yes, you're right, it's so reasonable that I can't argue with it."
Although the perfunctory meaning of Lex's words is easily offensive, Bob feels a little glad at this moment. Because this means that his own superpower identity has not been revealed.
Just as Bob was secretly glad in his heart, ready to answer with Lex's words, the world in front of him went dark inexplicably.
Naturally, it was Delos who heard Lex's voice of help in his heart. It is estimated that Bob didn't know that his luck would be so bad if he wanted to break his head, and he directly met a master of telepathy. Facing a master of the level of Delos, Bob was instantly controlled by the other party without even reacting.
"It's really unexpected, you can meet a superpowered person when you go out."
After Delos, who was drinking coffee by himself, fixed Bob, gave Lex a look at him from an angle that no one else could see, and then manipulated Bob to sit down in an unmanned seat in the café, and used telepathy to instantly invade Bob's brain and look up the other party's memories.
For a time, Bob had no secrets in front of Delos.
For example, when and for what reason Bob got his superpowers. It's like saying that Bob has been preparing for more than ten years, and recently felt that the time had come, and he was ready to use his ability to control Lex for his own benefit. Bob recently used his power to control Mr. Jonathan and sell the farm......
"It's really an accident, it's actually someone who has become a superpower because of green kryptonite."
After seeing the memory in Bob's mind, Delos pursed his lips and said helplessly in his heart: "This guy's luck is really bad, he has such a psychic ability, but he is controlled by me for this reason. ”
"But fortunately, I controlled it, this guy's psychic ability looks a little weird, relying on skin-to-skin contact to control the other party's psyche, even if ordinary people have a shielding device, they may not be able to effectively shield this ability."
Delos secretly rejoiced in his heart, if he hadn't met the other party here, it would have been possible for the other party to control Lex.
"This Bob's assets are of average value, but his superpowers are quite interesting and may be useful to me."
Thinking of this, Delos couldn't help but feel good, and a hint of excitement faintly appeared in his eyes: "Since this is the case...... Then let me study this ability, maybe I can learn this ability, and I can directly bypass ordinary mental shielding devices to control others. ”
Although Delos's spiritual skills are already very powerful, just like people never dislike money, he naturally won't dislike being too strong......
