What's wrong with Superman's son wanting to be Superman?

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.

Chapter 70 The Shortcut That Never Ends

The crisp system notification in his mind made Ian pause slightly.

He hadn't expected the process of reviving the dormant profession to be so smooth. He had thought that he would need to make "The Boys" a huge hit before the Homelander profession, which had been dormant in the system, could be unlocked.

Who would have thought?

Just a few words of flattery from two scientists were enough for Ian to get what he wanted. It seems that even as an "independent NPC," Ian isn't quite destined for a life of constant change.

"A faint sense of melancholy crept in for no apparent reason."

Ian glanced at his system panel.

You have obtained the modified class - Savage Tyrant.

These are the job titles that have emerged after the dormant professions brought about by Homelander's resurgence. Ian didn't check them immediately, but instead stared thoughtfully at the two scientists in front of him who were still reading comics.

Don't underestimate these two ordinary people; they are the protagonists of their own stories. Perhaps in the process of reviving dormant professions, remembering these people is more meaningful than remembering ordinary NPCs.

Ian was still a little confused. He just thought of his deskmate, who must have also contributed to reading the comic, so he decided that he should save the two oranges in his pocket for the delinquent girl.

at this time.

"Although I don't really like your portrayal of Superman in a negative light, I'm glad to see that someone else, like me, noticed the inconsistencies in Superman's rescue of the plane."

"Oh, it seems I'm a very contradictory person too—anyway, your work is really good, and I'd be happy to offer my further thoughts on how Superman violates physics."

Sheldon's eyes gleamed with anticipation, eager to try. "So, if I can do it for free, when do you decide to hire us as your comic book assistants?"

He seemed genuinely eager to find the unscientific aspects of the "biofield".

"Free? That violates labor laws!"

Ian doesn't need comic book help.

All he needs are experienced scientists and engineers.

And at this time.

"Let me draft the contract, please, I really know capitalists. I guarantee that all eight thousand clauses of the contract will be in your favor to exploit us!" Sheldon rubbed his hands together, his face full of pleading, as if he had transformed into Ian's confidant.

That's just his personality.

My favorite thing in life is writing contracts.

It may not benefit oneself.

But he absolutely had to get the chance to write the contract—the thinking of geniuses is always so hard to understand. Sheldon's best friend Leonard was utterly speechless about this.

"Sheldon, they want to hire us as scientists, not comic book assistants..." He was still relatively clear-headed, and he quietly reminded his good friend while holding his forehead.

“Oh, really? Then I can write two contracts! Yay! That’s great!” Sheldon’s way of thinking was clearly different; he became as excited as a child.

“Changing jobs is something we have to think about carefully, after all, I have the opportunity to become a tenured university professor.” Leonard’s way of thinking is that of a normal person.

but.

His seemingly thoughtful words only earned him a sarcastic remark from his good friend.

"Tenure professor? That's just your own opinion of being qualified... Social skills, Leonard. You don't understand social skills, but you can't climb the corporate ladder in college without them."

"If you could do what I did and send our principal a copy of 'The Rich Women's Contact List' right after his divorce, you might have a tiny bit of a chance."

He began to seriously "instruct" Leonard.

"..."

Leonard gave a polite, albeit fake, smile.

"You made up all the phone numbers in your address book."

He gave a reminder.

Sheldon remained completely unfazed, instead displaying an expression of utter certainty. "Of course," he said, "the gift I gave the principal was a lesson in not believing in rich women's scams."

"As a token of my gratitude, I believe he will provide me with a private office next year," Sheldon said confidently, as if he had mastered the art of social interaction.

"..."

Leonard was utterly helpless.

Ian, on the other hand, felt he had learned a great deal. He believed he could keep up with Dr. Sheldon's line of thought, and roughly speaking, that meant he also had the potential to win a Nobel Prize.

“Of course you can think about it carefully; it is indeed a major life event.” Ian nodded in understanding; he knew what it meant to proceed step by step.

The fourteen-year-old boy didn't expect to fool anyone with just a few words. He knew he was just an "independent NPC" now, and he certainly couldn't get the feel of a wish-fulfillment story where people would bow down to him after just one meeting.

The path to survival for DC (Digital DC).

The task ahead remains arduous and the road is long.

"Give me your contact information first?" Ian's request was not refused. Leonard was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a piece of paper and wrote down the contact information.

“Perhaps we could discuss your father’s company’s project first? Of course, if we can receive a formal invitation from Wayne Group, I think Sheldon and I can convince our parents…”

Leonard is still undecided.

However, when he looked up, he found that Ian had disappeared.

"What about people?"

Leonard was quite surprised.

"Wow, he runs really fast."

Sheldon, who had already started drafting the contract on his phone, only realized it was happening too late.

"He was so enthusiastic just now... What a strange person." Sheldon continued editing the contract, whether it was useful or not didn't matter, it was just his hobby.

"Considering he's an excellent cartoonist, I can understand—you see, I've become quite understanding again." He seemed to have discovered something to be happy about.

Leonard found it difficult to comment on this, so he simply changed the subject.

"Do you think we might actually receive an invitation from the Wayne Group?"

He was still thinking about the olive branch extended by a child; perhaps he wasn't so normal after all. Ultimately, the two didn't step into the gym, but turned and walked naturally towards home.

at the same time.

the other side.

Ian couldn't wait to find a quiet corner and bring up the system panel to check the newly unlocked modified professions.

[Savage Tyrant: In every battle, the Savage Tyrant is the most dazzling presence, capable of crushing any enemy in his path with his superior physique.]

It's another profession for pure brute force.

Ian had already suspected this, so he directly chose to confirm the job change—just as he had figured out the system rules before, he could indeed have more than one extraordinary job.

"There aren't even any prerequisite quests?"

Of course, Ian also made some misjudgments.

He underestimated the system's love for him.

【Job Change Quest: Gain enough public attention and support (0/100000)】This is the job change quest for the new profession. It seems neither too difficult nor too easy.

Ian has a newly created "Superhero" account, but gaining enough attention with that "account" is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

of course.

It's not that there aren't shortcuts.

"Super Brain! Activate!"

The more shortcuts a person takes, the better they will know how to find more shortcuts. So Ian only needed to think for a moment to come up with a solution based on his outstanding wisdom.
