Marvel: Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 12 Interlude

Coulson didn't provide much information. Wilson Fisk bought an oil painting called "Rabbit in a Blizzard" for tens of thousands of dollars. Coulson felt that it was just like a blank piece of paper.

The owner of this gallery is Vanessa Mariana, who sells oil paintings. She is quite famous and the gallery business is good.

She is a beautiful woman with a strong temperament. When buying artworks, the value is often not the key, but the tax avoidance is. Of course, her artworks also have the potential to maintain and appreciate in value, which is also very important.

Link briefly understood the situation and then began to walk around the house. His house lacked some embellishment.

The apartment’s decoration is mostly white, and the designer has left a lot of white space for the owner to decorate himself.

Some oil paintings are indeed good choices, but Link needs to consider in advance what kind of oil paintings to choose.

He went there to buy artworks for decorating his new apartment, and this had to be made clear. He didn't understand art, but he was going to buy some books. With his super thinking and super speed, he could definitely learn quickly.

But not too much. After all, he is studying psychology, so he still needs to start from this aspect.

Link's heart was moved during the day. Wilson Fisk would not go to the gallery during the day, so he needed to go at night.

However, this time is not so easy to grasp. He first needs to determine the whereabouts of the target person.

……

Link is now a professional gambler. He does not have card games every day. If he does, they are in the evening, usually starting at 8 o'clock in the evening. He is quite satisfied with his current job.

I had a lot of free time, so I drove to the bookstore during the day and looked for some books related to oil paintings and other artworks, mainly common sense stuff.

For example, painting methods, schools, etc., it is enough to master the basics in this regard. As an agent, you need to have a broad knowledge base. As the number of tasks increases, you can supplement a lot of knowledge by yourself.

Although he doesn't have a study, the master bedroom is very large with bookcases and desks. He can enrich his bookcases and create an image of erudition.

After buying the books, I found a bar. It was a mid-range bar, and most of the people who came were white-collar workers from the neighborhood, but there were not many people during the day.

He chose a seat by the window, ordered a glass of bourbon, and then picked up a book to read. It was a nice way to kill time.

This place is close to the gallery, and Link is ready to sit back and wait. His chances are few and far between, so he must not waste them.

The book is not the point. He had already finished reading it when he parked the car just now. It only took him a few seconds. At an angle where no one was watching, he put the book between his legs and lowered his head as if he was looking for something.

After Link got in touch with the agents, he has been enriching himself. It seems that it has only been more than a month, but what he has learned is enough for others to learn for several years.

It can be said that this is another superpower, super learning ability, relying on super brain and super speed.

Cigars are not suitable for smoking here, so he took out a pack of cigarettes, asked for an ashtray, and then smoked slowly, turning the pages of a book from time to time, and occasionally picking up the wine glass to take a sip.

……

Time passed slowly, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, more and more people started to come, and the bar returned to its original bustle.

Link sat sideways in front of the window. On his right was a small round table and three high stools. Two women were sitting there. After discussing for a while, they decided what to drink, and one of them got up and went to the bar.

He came back with two glasses of wine and started chatting.

"What happened this time?" asked one of the women.

Woman B responded: "He's a jerk."

Woman A asked: "Is this job like a printer? Will it suck your soul?" "No, that was my last job," Woman B reminded.

Link found it somewhat interesting. He was also a little bored. After all, he had been sitting there for almost half a day. He divided the women into A and B and listened to their conversations, which were surprisingly interesting.

"This time, the job is to let the exhaust fan ravage my brain."

Woman A said in a helpless tone: "You feel bored because these tasks are a piece of cake for you."

Woman B said affirmatively: "No, I'm not good at anything."

Woman A immediately retorted: "Nonsense, you are good at lying!"

At this time, a man in a suit came over and said, "Hey, how about playing a love test? I think we are a good match."

Woman A looked apologetic and said, "As much as I'd like to go, I'm a little busy right now."

"Hey, I know you!" The man in the suit suddenly said in surprise, "You seemed to have red hair at that time. I've seen your talk show."

This made the woman a little embarrassed, and Woman A said, "That was a long time ago."

"Yes, I was 12 years old at that time." The man in the suit seemed to have drunk a little too much and did not understand the emotions of the two ladies at all.

Woman B seemed unable to bear it any longer and said, "I'll play with you."

"Okay!" the man in the suit agreed.

"Jessica, there's no need." Woman A called Woman B's name.

"It doesn't matter." Jessica turned to the man in the suit and said, "But I don't like any love games. Why don't we try our strength?"

There is a dynamometer in the bar. Of course, it is not very professional, but it can indeed be used to test the strength of people.

"If I win, you pay for us, apologize to my friends, and then go wherever is cooler."

The man in the suit was very confident and asked, "What if I win?"

Jessica smiled and said, "I'll take you to the back to meet your little carrot."

Jessica and the man walked over. The man took out a coin, put it into the machine, and then hit it with all his strength.

Link didn't pay attention. If a woman made such a suggestion, she must have something to rely on.

As expected, the woman won and hit the maximum score on the machine.

Link turned around in surprise. He heard it very clearly and happened to meet Jessica's eyes when she came back.

Looking at Link, Jessica walked back to her original position, winked at her female companion, and then whispered, "Look at this one next to it, it looks pretty good!"

Woman A turned her head and took a look. At this time, Link had turned back to read the book. She looked at Link's profile and nodded slightly. She also felt good.

So she whispered, "Go pick him up. You haven't been in love for a long time. You just lost your job, so why not try to find a man?"

"..." Jessica seemed to be a little moved. She glanced at Link again and nodded, "Wait."
