The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

The early mornings in the Metropolitan area are much warmer than Gotham. Although it has entered autumn, the weather is not very cold. Clark felt very relaxed when he flew in the morning breeze. In recent days, his mood has gone from nervousness and anxiety to happy. Coppert's presence has brought great improvements to his journalist work.

Everyone knows that a good reporter must have his own connections in order to get first-hand news. Clark was not valued when he was in the newspaper and was always arranged to report some gossip because he knew some big names and was unwilling to be silly with them.

But the Penguin Copper is different. Clark has a sense of responsibility for approaching him. It was precisely because he was on a business trip some time ago that he did not care about Batman well, which led to him immersing in the sadness of losing his loved ones and making irrational decisions. This is my own problem, so I should be responsible.

Superman had no intention of reasoning with this evil super criminal. He thought that if the other party wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, he would definitely arrest him in prison and give him some color.

But beyond his expectations, the Penguin Copper was not as cruel and terrifying as he heard of.

Copper is indeed a bit ferocious, fat, and has a hooked nose. He is also a bit sinister when he smiles, and his legs are limping. He is really not a good appearance.

But, the education Clark received since childhood was that he should never judge people by his appearance, nor by his partiality, but should look at what the other party did. Clark did not attack Coppert immediately, so he was destined to be bewitched by Coppert.

The Penguin is a very charming person, otherwise he would not have stood firm among so many Gotham villains coming and going, and his appearance rate remained at a very high level.

Moreover, he is a very traditional and even uninnovative villain, but he is still loved by many viewers. In addition to the classics, it is also because he is indeed very capable and can cause trouble for Batman from a higher level.

In most Penguin comics, he is not a low-level criminal, but has been at the center of the vortex of power, like a mainstay, and endorses the crimes of the upper class.

This means he has strong social skills. No matter what background or background story, he can climb up from the bottom and use such an ugly appearance to get into the upper class circle, which is enough to show how good he can deal with people.

Not to mention Superman, even Batman with 80,000 minds, sometimes he has to maintain superficial peace with him and can't touch him easily.

Coppert's social killer is also very simple. He knew very well that disguise would definitely be exposed, especially in front of superheroes like Batman or Superman with special abilities, deception is the most clumsy method.

So he did not hide his greed and indifference, but only highlighted the side of his character that could be accepted by them.

He knew very well that kind people are always tolerant, and as long as they have enough advantages, they are not unable to tolerate their shortcomings.

For example, when dealing with Superman, the Penguin never hides its desire for power. He even asked Superman to help him eavesdrop on the news. Although Superman did not agree, Superman did not blame him.

Superman is kind, but not stupid. He is a sound minded adult, not a three-year-old. He knew very well that the purpose of becoming a politician is to compete for power. If you have no desire for power, what kind of parliamentarian would you be?

It is very normal for the Penguin to fight for power in the political arena. Even if he wants to be president, Superman cannot blame him just because of his ambitions.

Superman just cares about the means to realize his ambitions. You have great ambitions. As long as your means are legal and do not harm ordinary people, he will not attack hard all the time.

The Penguin Man grasped this and quickly proved to Superman through his own actions that my process of ascending power will not only not harm ordinary people, but will also bring certain benefits to the general public.

For example, the Penguin people think about the real-name system of criminals. Although he supported the registration bill, he proposed in parliament to publish information about habitual offenders who have not changed their minds. This tendency to be conservative and neutral has won the favor of Superman.

Of course, this just allows Superman to not pick on him and be able to look at him with a new and fair look. This is far from enough for the Penguin.

Next, the Penguin began to win Superman's favor, but the way was no longer to do good things, but to help Superman do good things.

After becoming a member of parliament, he naturally had some information channels of his own, and it was not difficult to find Clark's true identity.

Interestingly, Superman is not a masked hero. When he was a reporter, the glasses couldn't cover anything, but few people could remember his face. The Penguin believed that this might be a superpower of superman.

The Penguin can discover his true identity because he has had some close contact with Superman recently. The other party did not seem to have been using this superpower to cover up his identity, but let him take advantage of the loopholes.

When the Penguin discovered that the other party was a reporter, the Penguin knew that the opportunity had come. As a politician, dealing with journalists is a basic skill, and manipulating public opinion and the media is even more common.

The Penguin Man used his information advantages to provide Superman with several internal messages, all of which were related to people's livelihood, such as forced demolition of large enterprises, occupation of public green space by municipal projects, and private scandals of unscrupulous politicians.

That's right, these are all unfavorable news from his competitors, but they did it and it did harm ordinary people. Even if Superman knew that the Penguin was treating him as a knife, he had to take it.

Moreover, on the one hand, he can use the identity of a reporter to expose these scandals, and on the other hand, he can turn into a superhero and directly attack the source target. If you can write a pen and keep the world safe, and if you can use your martial arts to determine the world, you will never have a single enemy in the metropolis.

The biggest impact of the cooperation between the two was that Clark's enthusiasm for the job of journalists was not just about treating this as a cover-up of Superman's identity.

He realized that people need both fair trial results and the process of obtaining them.

Ordinary people may need others to save them, but sometimes they only need a little help from others to save themselves, and they are even more willing to complete most of the self-rescue work by themselves.

To some extent, Superman is much more modest than Pale Knight and Batman. He does not have a very serious savior complex. Although he should help him all, he often has the mentality of "success does not have to be with me, success must be with me."

Although he is actually the savior who has the ability to save everything, this may be "a true master always has an apprenticeship heart."

After finding the job of journalists again, Clark began to be less satisfied with reporting only some of the dark news provided by the Penguin Man, but began to take the initiative and try every means to expose the scandal.

Then he realized that he could do much more than the average reporter. He doesn't need to rest, he can work all night by basking in the sun during the day. He is not afraid of assassination, whether pistol assassination or car explosions are effective for him.

In politics, the Penguin will be his protective umbrella and remind him when someone wants to frame him. In terms of economy, although he has a bad relationship with Lex Luther, he has a good relationship with Wayne Group, the old rival of Luther Group, and Fox will help him resolve economic disputes.

In just one month, the name Clark Kent became famous.

People call him a rising star in the East Coast press and say he is expected to compete for the Pulitzer Prize within five years.

Clark actually had this plan, he thought that the last time Batman was framed and went to jail was because no one spoke for him.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

If he becomes a well-known reporter, Batman will encounter trouble again and come forward to help him clarify, many people will definitely believe in him, and the trouble will be solved more easily.

Clark has been busy with his job as a reporter these days and no longer resists the work of socializing that he had hated before. Isn't it just drinking? The Earthlings still have to go a little further to let you see the speed of alcohol digestion of nuclear fusion power.

That night, Ms. Pope, the mayor's chief assistant, met with the editor-in-chief of Planet Daily to drink and brought Clark, who was in the limelight recently. The assistant mayor was obviously interested in Clark and the two were having a good chat.

Clark asked him openly and secretly about the recent Luther Group's participation in the city government's bidding project. He has been chasing this clue for a long time and is about to come to the end.

As long as he can determine the list of bribes accepted by the municipal government, he can make another big news at the end of the year. Maybe it will take less than five years and there will be a chance to compete for the award next year.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the mayor's assistant has started to complain about his work situation. Seeing the opportunity coming, Clark winked at his editor-in-chief and wanted to sit next to the mayor's assistant and ask carefully.

But just as he got up, his phone suddenly rang. The sharp ringtone woke everyone up in a flash.

Clark glanced at his phone and didn't intend to care, but when he found out that the call number was "Bruce Wayne", he immediately put down his work and went to the bathroom to answer the phone.

"Clark, I have recently investigated some things and may need you to come and take a look. Is it convenient for you now?" Bruce's voice came from the opposite side.

"I'm free, come right away. Are you at home?"

"No, I'm at a base in the valley outside Gotham City. I'll send you the address, you can come here."

Clark said nothing, found a reason and left. He flew to the valley along the address. In addition to seeing Bruce here, he also saw a very ferocious monster.

"This is Miss Maria," Bruce introduced to him, "is the newly born clown. I know you have a lot of questions, but you have to look at this first."

Bruce handed Clark a booklet. Clark glanced at him in confusion, but opened the booklet first. The content inside made him widen his eyes. He couldn't help but take the booklet a little further and said with some disgust: "What is this? A complete collection of human history torture?"

Bruce shook his head and said, "I promise you won't find so much torture in history. This is a recent small-scale auction catalogue."

"Auction catalog? What is auctioned?"

"It's these traps and tortures," Bruce said, looking at Clark, "It involves a bet, which can be very dark. Are you ready to learn the truth?"

Clark should have realized that the Bruce in front of him seemed a little different, but all his attention was focused on the so-called dark bet. The recent successful cases of using public opinion to preside over justice have made him eager to know the truth.

"Of course," Clark replied, "I have the confidence to face all darkness. I believe I can light it up."

"So well, let's first listen to the personal experience of this Miss Maria."
