American comic book: My Father is Superman, am I just an NPC?

Chapter 69 Scientist! The System is Awesome!

As the sound of sirens grew louder and louder, the police sirens approached.

Ian had already walked away humming a little tune.

He gulped down two more sips of his tech-infused beverage and passed by the gym entrance. Having already achieved his goal, he didn't intend to linger in this place filled with "English vibes."

however.

Two nerdy guys standing at the gym entrance caught Ian's attention. A tall man and a short man with glasses were pacing back and forth at the gym entrance, looking extremely uneasy.

"Yes, I can! I definitely can!" The short boy with glasses cheered himself on, his fists clenched tightly. "Once I build up my muscles, Penny will definitely fall for me!"

The tall, thin boy with short hair next to him rolled his eyes.

"Leonard, according to research data on page 327 of Evolutionary Psychology, women's preference for muscles only ranks sixth when choosing a mate."

He issued a reminder.

"Sheldon! Science isn't always right! To hell with evolutionary psychology!" The short boy named Leonard wouldn't listen to his friend's advice at all.

"I'm sure I can become a muscle man! And then I'll find love." He clenched his fist, full of confidence, a kind of inexplicable self-assurance that Ian found strangely familiar.

“We’re scientists, so we should believe… well, if you insist, you’ll have to figure out how to get through that door first.” The tall man called Sheldon took a few steps back.

“Our friendship can only take me this far. It’s practically a petri dish for bacteria and viruses. I’m not going to go into a place that could kill me with syphilis or some other disease.”

As he spoke, he took out his phone.

"What are you going to do?"

The short guy, Leonard, had a bad feeling.

"I need to buy some alcohol. When you get home tonight, I'll put you in it for a soak. How about 80% alcohol? I respect my roommate's choice and preferences."

Sheldon remained polite.

"Do you want to kill me?"

Leonard was furious.

“You’re right, I don’t want to go to jail… so 75 degrees should be enough.” With that, Sheldon raised one hand and started typing on his phone to place an order.

"..."

Leonard covered his head in exasperation.

And right now.

"Hey, you two, good evening." Ian remembered why he felt so familiar; he had encountered two characters who shouldn't exist in the DC Universe.

The two main characters from "The Big Bang Theory." It's a sitcom that Ian watched when he was learning English. He only remembers that the characters were all very talented, nerdy scientists.

Other information is not important.

Whether he knows it or not doesn't matter. Even if he hasn't watched the TV series, Ian will only care about the fact that the show is about scientists. That's the only thing that attracts Ian the most.

He has a laser gun.

He owns the Marvel universe.

Therefore, he naturally needs to get to know enough outstanding scientists. Plagiarism is just the beginning; scientific plagiarism is the true path to success. Ian also has a heart set on using technology to benefit himself and, incidentally, humanity.

"Forehead."

When Leonard saw someone trying to strike up a conversation, he immediately waved his hand reflexively, saying, "I need to keep a clear head, so I don't need fitness technology products!"

He was clearly not a first-timer at this place, and he was very familiar with the tricks of the trade outside the gym.

"I'm not a tech peddler," Ian said, hiding his Coke bottle as he defended himself under the watchful eyes of two physicists with a basic understanding of chemistry.

Leonard frowned, seemingly unconvinced.

Sheldon, however, seemed to be deep in thought.

“He’s right, Leonard. He’s so handsome, Penny would probably spend $500—no, $800—on him. He could easily make money through illegal means.”

"If he had 80% of the intelligence of a normal person, he would choose to approach rich women, extort them, and make a fortune. He could definitely become a billionaire as a result," scientist Sheldon stated his reasonable analysis in a serious tone.

"!!!"

Ian was stunned.

"You also have super intelligence?"

He was unusually deeply moved.

“I’m a theoretical physicist who will win the Nobel Prize in the future, so of course I have super intelligence,” Sheldon replied, tilting his head in thought.

"Crack~"

Leonard slapped his forehead speechlessly.

He felt as if the boy in front of him and his friend next to him had dealt him a double blow.

"So, kid, what do you want from us?" Leonard took a deep breath to calm himself down and looked at Ian, who could be identified as a middle school student at a glance.

Ian responded immediately.

“I’m a student aspiring to become a successful capitalist, and I need a group of scientists to work for me like cattle.” He tried to extend an olive branch to the two men. Leonard thought Ian was joking.

Sheldon's eyes lit up.

"Comparing employees to cattle and horses? Hmm, that's a very vivid metaphor, and it's also very honest. I like to communicate with honest people, even though most honest people aren't very smart—don't misunderstand, I'm just saying that lying requires details, and fabricating details is such a difficult act that requires extremely high intelligence to support it."

It's unclear whether he was praising Ian, belittling Ian, or simply promoting himself.

It doesn't matter.

Ian is a magnanimous person.

“Sheldon! Shut up!” Leonard was more bothered by his roommate’s rudeness. He turned apologetically to Ian. “Listen, kid, we are professors at Metropolitan Polytechnic.”

“The income is pretty good, there’s no need to change jobs.” Although he still thought Ian was joking or playing a prank, he still gave Ian some polite respect and seriousness.

In this regard.

Ian blinked.

“I have Wayne Group backing me.”

He wasn't lying, he just didn't tell the whole truth. As a contracted author with a small publishing house under the Wayne Group, how could he not be backed by the Wayne Group?
Big bosses all think highly of him!
"what?"

Leonard and Sheldon were both visibly taken aback.

"Wayne Corporation! Is that Wayne Corporation?!" Sheldon was clearly extremely excited. "Bruce Wayne, he's ranked third among my 16 favorite people!"

"Second only to Batman in ranking!"

"Bruce Wayne is absolutely an underrated greatest capitalist and inventor of this century!" It must be said that this man named Sheldon may be quite devoted in some ways.

In contrast to his unwavering trust, Leonard is not so quick to trust others.

"You have a connection with Wayne Enterprises? What kind of connection?" Leonard looked at Ian incredulously, thinking that Ian looked like just a kid from a normal elite family.

"What kind of relationship? Let me put it this way, Bruce Wayne owes my dad a life." Ian answered seriously, and what he said was the absolute truth.

"A life-or-death friendship!"

Leonard suddenly realized, or at least he thought he realized, "Did your father start a company and then get support from the Wayne Group?"

Despite being amazed.

But he still didn't think that Ian, a little kid, could start a business.

"Feel sorry."

After a moment's consideration, Leonard still wanted to refuse.

And just then.

Ian opened his backpack.

I'm going to cater to the tastes of otaku.

"Wow! This bull head figurine is so well made!" Sheldon noticed the special item in Ian's bag immediately, but didn't imagine it to be supernatural.

The same goes for Leonard.

"It's even electric!" he exclaimed in amazement. Suddenly, a very bold idea popped into his head: he really wanted to ask Ian where he bought the figurine.

“I’m not just a reserve capitalist or a future bestselling author, I’m also a cartoonist.” Ian pulled out a picture book with the original illustration of “The Boys” prominently displayed on the cover.

have to say.

He grasped the psychology of the two nerdy scientists very well.

"It's actually a comic book, and the artwork is really good."

Leonard was immediately drawn to the manuscript of "The Boys" and even temporarily put his own bold ideas aside. He subconsciously took the manuscript from Ian's hand.

Sheldon joined in as well.

After a while.

"Wow! This comic is really exciting!"

Even two seasoned comic book enthusiasts couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Genius! He's a comic book genius! Leonard! Leonard! We have to work for him! That way we can threaten him into drawing us in his comics too!"

Sheldon was clearly caught up in the moment, and Ian was also planning to strike while the iron was hot, pulling out the overbearing terms he'd learned from successful businessmen. However, just then...

Something completely unexpected happened to him.

[Dormant professions have met the conditions for revival]

The system's voice suddenly sounded.

A commemoration of sufficient weight.

It is that power that can transcend everything.
