On the one hand, he was indeed shocked by the huge amount of golden "little specialties", and on the other hand, he kept wondering how a superhero like Su Ming could become so rich.
Aren't superheroes generally quite financially strapped?
Except Tony Stark.
This problem troubled Ned all night, causing the dark circles under his eyes, which were already caused by staying up late, to become even darker.
The next morning, when Su Ming came back from the portal and put a lot of breakfast on the table.
Ned came out with two black eyes.
"What about the teacher?"
Compared to Su Ming, Ned and Alyssa are more familiar.
"She's tired and needs more sleep... Let's eat first."
This was the first time that Alyssa had seen such a large piece of gold in her life, and it was a "little specialty" specially given to her.
This also aroused the excitement in her bones.
So I acted extra aggressively later on, and ended up being exhausted...
Su Ming felt that the little fat boy had come all the way to help him a lot, and it was not a big deal that he hadn't even had a proper meal, so it was not a big deal if the house was a little messy.
So I went to a few reputable stores early in the morning and bought a lot of breakfast of various types.
Specially to reward the little fat guy.
Ned looked at the table full of delicious food, but he had no appetite.
The question that troubled him all night remained unanswered:
“Why can’t superheroes be rich?”
He believes that superheroes have helped so many people and should not continue to suffer from poverty.
Peter Parker knew how difficult his life was.
Thinking of this, Ned looked at Su Ming who was sitting opposite him:
He is also a superhero and he is very rich. What's the principle behind this?
I couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Silver Jue, how can a superhero become rich?"
"Haha, poor superheroes...will never be rich!"
Chapter 138 Tony? PTSD?
"Clap!"
Ned, who had just picked up a fried dough stick and was about to put it in his mouth, was startled by Su Mingyu's shocking remarks.
The fried dough sticks just fell on the table.
Why are superheroes, who are so majestic, called miserable?
Why are superheroes never rich?
Why?
Isn't Scarlet Silver a superhero?
Treating gold bricks as souvenirs is clearly a way of showing off wealth, so why would someone say such a thing?
"Wait...Mr. Silver Jue, aren't you a superhero, and..."
"That's not the case, Ned."
Su Ming knew what Ned wanted to say and interrupted him.
This young man probably thinks he is a superhero and also very rich, which is somewhat contradictory to what he just said.
“To be exact, I’m not a superhero, but a bounty hunter.
So…what does my wealth have to do with being a superhero?
"Bounty Hunter?"
Ned pondered Su Ming's words, feeling that they made some sense, but he still couldn't quite wrap his head around them.
"Sir, what about... Tony Stark?"
Thinking of that arrogant little mustache, Su Ming smiled slightly:
"Tony was originally a capitalist, and then he became Iron Man. What does his wealth have to do with his superhero identity...?"
Ned finally came to his senses and asked the question:
"Sir, why do you say superheroes can never be rich?"
Looking at Ned who was asking him for advice seriously, Su Ming felt a little relieved.
Because the young man in front of him had the same question in his mind as he did back then, which was:
"Why can't superheroes be rich?"
Not only superheroes, but also in the real world where superheroes don't exist.
Those scientists who work for the country's progress, those technicians who plunge into the sea of patents, and those ordinary people who force themselves to work hard for family responsibilities.
There are also various people who play a role in different positions...
Are they superheroes?
Doctors, nurses, police, soldiers, firefighters and even food delivery drivers...
Apart from top doctors who have strong earning power, who else dares to say that he or she is rich?
So the question is, are these people superheroes at some point?
Yes!
Anyone who has been helped by them will readily acknowledge it.
What is the difference between these people and the superheroes in Marvel?
If Stan Lee were here, he would say:
"Wealth is only a tool, not an answer. True heroism lies not in how much wealth one possesses, but in how one safeguards greater justice."
Su Ming wanted to say:
"Why shouldn't those who risk their lives and carry heavy burdens for others have wealth? There's no contradiction."
It doesn’t necessarily mean they will become rich, but at least it can make their lives better. What’s wrong with that?
Even if it's to allow them to better perform their duties as superheroes?
But the reality is often that these superheroes can often save others but cannot save themselves.
Wealth, which was supposed to be a reward or a by-product of exercising justice, has now become something completely unrelated to justice.
Haha, isn’t it interesting?
Thinking of this, Su Ming patiently answered:
“Superheroes’ moral standards are too high, or they have been held hostage to morality for too long.
They even forgot the simple truth that hard work should be rewarded...
In this case, how do they become rich?
Then again...if being a superhero means giving everything without asking for anything in return...
Sorry, whoever wants to do it can do it..."
After saying this, Su Ming looked at Ned with a smile and said nothing more.
Yes~
If they themselves don't even mention the issue of compensation, who else would take the initiative to give them money?
Selfless dedication is great, but if you continue to contribute even when life is difficult...
Wouldn’t that be a bit silly?
As Ned digested Su Ming's words, his eyes gradually became clear:
Is this why Mr. Silver has both the title of superhero and wealth? It doesn't seem too much...
It's even a bit enviable.
Isn't it just to get some compensation?
It makes sense~
No wonder the gentleman said that superheroes are all miserable. It’s true when I think about it.
No matter who they save, they never ask for anything in return, but they don't realize that if this continues, superheroes will become less and less valuable.
It’s okay for poor people to accept it, but it’s not illegal to accept the gratitude of those wealthy players, so why not accept it?
Mr. Yin Jue is indeed a clear-headed person. The answer to the question that has been bothering me all night is so simple!
He is worthy of being Peter’s idol!
Starting today, I'm also getting into it!
"Goo~~"
A strong sense of dissatisfaction came from my stomach.
Ned, who had figured things out, regained his appetite and gave Su Ming a big smile.
Then he looked at the sumptuous breakfast in front of him, his appetite aroused, and he devoured it in no time.
Little did he know that Su Ming's simple words changed Ned Leeds' values.
From then on, Ned Leeds had an additional step in discussing compensation when helping everyone solve various technical problems.
This made the superheroes see the shadow of a money-grubber in this young man...
At this time, Alyssa, with messy hair and unsteady steps, walked out of the bedroom rubbing her eyes.
Holding on to the wall, Alyssa was very sleepy:
"Boss, Ms. Pepper wants to see you... she said there's something important."
After saying that, he walked to the dining table and sat down slowly experimentally.
"hiss--"
He secretly glared at Su Ming and tried hard to eat.
Seeing that Alyssa ignored him, Ned took the initiative to greet her:
"Good morning, teacher~^_^"
"Call me sister! Eat! [○?`Д'?○]"
Alyssa gave the fat boy a hoarse look, and she was the one who disliked everyone.
Su Ming then remembered that his phone was left in the bedroom, and it was Alyssa who answered the call for him.
Back in the bedroom, I called back:
"Good morning, Ms. Pepper."
"Haha, Mr. Yin Jue slept well. It's almost noon now. He must have been very busy last night..."
Su Ming laughed. This little hot pepper must have heard something from Alyssa's voice.
But it doesn’t matter, don’t you also make love with Tony every day?
"What can I do for you, ma'am?"
Su Ming has no habit of talking nonsense with married women.
"Mr. Silver Jue, I heard you're a bounty hunter. I have a commission and would like to discuss it with you..."
Pepper's deliberately lowered voice came from the phone.
"Oh?"
