American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 8 Drawing Hatred

"Forget it, with Tomie keeping an eye on me, I don't need to think about finding a job for now."

Seeing Tomie leave through the peephole, Xiao Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Currently, Xiao Xian has a strong resistance to Tomie's charm, but that doesn't mean others are the same. Judging from the police and Daniel's behavior yesterday, most people would react differently when they see Tomie.

Taking Tomie to find a job is no different from taking Conan to someone else's house as a guest.

Fortunately, he still had some savings, so Xiao Xian could stay home for a few days without working. Or rather, Xiao Xian's eyes lit up as he looked at Tomie's departing figure and thought, "Come to think of it, isn't she just a rich woman?"

Plenty of men were eager to hand over money to Tomie. Tomie was not short of money at all; she would give him stacks of tips. Now that Tomie, this rich woman, was pursuing him, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to get a little money from her, right?

Of course, receiving money doesn't mean I agree. Xiao Xian definitely won't be with Tomie. This inequality is so fun to use, no wonder so many people use it. Xiao Xian suddenly understood.

With the money issue resolved, the next step was to find a way to acquire or enhance his superpowers. Xiao Xian considered it for a moment. He realized he had two main ways to increase his strength: one was to acquire superpowers by completing system tasks, and the other was to find a way to attract hatred and improve his regenerative abilities.

Regarding the missions, although Sister Tomie's true form is a bit scary, she has already completed two missions for Xiao Xian. To be honest, even if he could kill her now, Xiao Xian wouldn't really want to kill her or report her. After all, with such a high drop rate, it would be a pity to kill her. Maybe he could get super regeneration++, super charm, clone, or other superpowers in the future.

Especially with Super Charisma, wouldn't it be great to have that ability? Xiao Xian has always liked making friends, and with Super Charisma, it would be much easier to make friends with others.

Spider-Man is also a good option, as he has various superpowers such as spider-sense, super strength, and super agility. Unfortunately, Peter Parker has a bad attitude, and the drop rate is not as high as Tomie's. So far, the two have only met once, and the mission has not yet been completed.

If Xiao Xian gets really angry, he'll actually go after Aunt Mei. Anyway, this world's Aunt Mei isn't the old version; instead, she's got all the wifely qualities—mature and voluptuous. Once they live together, Peter will have no choice but to reluctantly open the door for him. They'll be together every day, and Xiao Xian doesn't believe he won't be able to complete the mission.

In short, regarding the mission, Xiao Xian plans to complete Tomie's mission while also trying to squeeze some money out of Spider-Man. As for attracting hatred...

Xiao Xian tried using the legendary power of Zaun in the game last night. As a result, his regeneration ability was indeed greatly enhanced at the time, but it faded after half an hour. By this morning, their blessing had completely disappeared.

Not to mention them, even Jack's hatred for Xiao Xian wasn't as strong as it had been at the beginning. Xiao Xian found out from other friends that Jack hadn't even broken up with Beth. Damn it, what a complete traitor! He can forgive that? Doesn't he have any backbone?

It seems that it's not difficult to make someone hate you, but it's very difficult to make that hatred last, unless it's something like the hatred of killing one's father or the hatred of stealing one's wife. Otherwise, the hatred of ordinary people will not last long.

For someone like Jack, who is known for forgiving, if the two parties don't meet, it might take a year or two for the other person to get over the past. But then, one night in the middle of the night, he might suddenly remember the incident and it could reignite a wave of hatred.

For example, if you're just arguing with someone while playing a game, you might forget about it the next time you encounter a new arguing person, and never think about it again.

Xiao Xian took out his newly bought fruit knife, disinfected it with alcohol, and then used the knife to cut a ten-centimeter-long wound on his arm.

The wound felt itchy, not yet showing signs of healing, but it was much better than when I first gained the ability. It seems that Jack hadn't completely forgiven Xiao Xian. Thinking about it, it makes sense. Except for special enthusiasts, who wouldn't have a thorn in their heart after such a thing? Even if it's a great injustice, wouldn't they mind at all?

After a night of thinking, Xiao Xian had some ideas on how to enhance his abilities. If he wanted people to like him for a long time, he would have to leave a deep impression on them, but it was not difficult to make people feel intense hatred towards him in the short term.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Xian braced himself for being exposed online. Since he was in America, things weren't too bad. He then went to Weibo and started frantically leaving comments everywhere:

Is this all the acting is like? Seriously, even my dog's acting is better than this. Please, you idols, if you're going to focus on fan economy, just focus on making money through variety shows. Don't come here acting and insulting the audience's eyes, okay? If you disagree, bring it on, you brainless fans.

Is he 1.8 meters tall? That's it? I think he's only 1.5 meters tall. My clothesline is taller than him, and you call this your brother? My sister is taller than him.

The photoshopping is ridiculous! This is a picture posted by another celebrity, and your brother looks so ugly in it~ This is what he really looks like, okay? I don't know what you guys are talking about as handsome. Are you blind?

As Xiao Xian made dangerous remarks in various fan gathering places, his private messages quickly reached 99+. Xiao Xian randomly picked a few for a "Zuan showdown," and after asking them about their aesthetic sense, intelligence, and family health, he blocked them.

After completing the procedure, Xiao Xian looked at his arm. The wound that had just been cut had already healed. He then made another ten-centimeter cut with the knife, and within a minute, the wound was completely healed.

"It all comes down to the fans' fighting spirit."

Xiao Xian marveled at the fans' rich emotions; they were more agitated by criticizing their idol than by insulting their entire family. He nodded in satisfaction. It wouldn't be so easy to incite hatred in other groups.

These comments are often reported and deleted by fans before long, and the fans' emotions are also usually short-lived. Xiao Xian is not the only one who criticizes their idol, and Xiao Xian has not made any original, insightful, or influential remarks, making it difficult for fans to remember him for long.

To be honest, I didn't even know their brother Xiao Xian if I hadn't searched for him on the spot. I didn't know him at all, and I didn't have any dirt to expose. It was really not easy for them to come up with something new. Most of their content was copied and pasted from other haters. Not only was the effect guaranteed, but the quantity was also plentiful.

The rival company has hired professional haters who relentlessly attack the other party, just like clocking in at work. They might even have a professional team, psychological analysts, or undercover haters lurking in the fan groups. It would be extremely difficult for Xiao Xian to surpass them.

It's good enough to just imitate what others are doing and try to get some benefits; after all, it's just temporary aggression, so just make sure you can handle your next move.
