Miss Serena's daily rent collection in American comics

Miss Serena's American comics rent collection daily author: Condensed in the dark

The elegant Miss Serena welcomes her loyal American comic world...

"Of course, the first pot of gold must start from successfully collecting rent from tenants."

Looking at Professor Charles, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a subtle expression, Miss Serena said...

(PS: This book is also known as Miss Serena's American Comics Observations.)

Chapter 1 What if Selena didn’t have a system?

"No..."

In the messy apartment, a woman with a nice figure was looking at the mirror in front of her with astonishment. From the makeup bag that fell to the ground, it was enough to see how frightened this blonde beauty was at the moment. As if eager to confirm something, she picked up the old wallet at hand and took out a driver's license from it. But the moment she saw the ink-printed name on the surface of the plastic IC card, which could be called a completely unfamiliar name, she felt like she was struck by lightning.

Serena Love Reagan F. Kennedy…

passed by myself.

This is the first thought that popped into my mind when I saw the name...

Moreover, I became an American whom I had never met before.

This was the second thought that came to my mind after I saw the bold print of the words 'Washington 1988 to 1998'.

"These days, there are all kinds of things that can lead to time travel, such as electric shock, drowning, not quitting the game before it was shut down, and even people who lived on the 18th floor were driven into the second dimension by a dump truck... But I traveled to a parallel world in the time it took me to wash my face and raise my head! Isn't that a bit too outrageous?"

First, she looked at the blond hair, blue eyes, and high nose bridge in the mirror, which was completely different from her Chinese ancestry. Then she looked at the American driver's license in her hand, which looked like a deadly joke. In the end, Selina could only look up at the sky in silence, swallowing all the unspeakable bitterness.

Everything is so fickle. Just a second ago, I was a worker who worked from 1988 to and worked six days a week. But in just a short time of washing my face, I went from having a savings of over yuan and barely being able to make ends meet in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to a blonde girl in America across the ocean... Of course, if this blonde girl hadn't lost her job, then this time travel could indeed be considered a good thing. But the problem is that this blonde girl lost her job. And the time on her driver's license was !

Let me ask, what was the United States going through in 1987?

Financial crisis!

As an old worker, she immediately realized that her journey through time and space had been a great start. The dealer had won the game as soon as he opened the cards, but the dealer was named Rockefeller, and she was Kennedy...

"I thought the Kennedy family's early death was just a joke, but I didn't know you would take it seriously."

With a look of annoyance, she picked up the thin resume on the table, which had killed countless brain cells of her predecessor to produce. After just flipping through it, she, a former programmer for a large company, once again revealed an expression of "the late emperor died halfway through his business".

According to the information revealed by this pile of things, the United States in this parallel world today will not be before 1988 at the earliest. So the foolish way of making money by taking tens of thousands of loans and betting all of them on Microsoft, Apple and other companies is obviously impossible to replicate on her. You know, in October 1987, the New York stock market crashed, stock prices soared, and the Republican government had a hard time. Therefore, in the opinion polls at the beginning of 10, the reputation of the Democratic Party increased greatly. But the problem is that Miss Selena, the Kennedy family, who was her predecessor, not only did not get on the Democratic Party train like other members of the Kennedy family, but actually jumped into the super quagmire of the Republican Party in an uncharacteristic way!

"No wonder you managed to live in an apartment in Manhattan. The Kennedy family makes money mainly from real estate and trusts. You are simply...wait, real estate?"

Selina suddenly realized something and started searching the room. After a while, she actually found a few deeds and a stack of lease contracts as thick as a dictionary in the bedroom bookcase.

"this......"

After realizing that she might have wronged her predecessor, Selina's expression gradually became a little subtle. But soon, she found countless clues visible to the naked eye from the thick lease contract.

“No penalty for breach of contract?! And the annual settlement can be overdue! Are you renting the house to someone else? What kind of charity project are you doing... I... I..."

Honestly, when Serena saw the contents of the contract, she almost fell over. But before she could look through what her ex had left her, the signature at the bottom of the contract was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, instantly sobering her up.

"Wilson Grant Fisk?"

The moment she read the name, Selena frowned.

"I hope it's just a coincidence..."

Although she said so, her hands were not slow. After quickly flipping through the deeds and finding key information such as "Clinton District", she hurried back to the messy living room and started to pick up the newspaper on the table and the resumes that seemed useless. Hard work pays off. In a few minutes, she saw another keyword that made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

"Roxxon Oil & Energy Corporation..."

Thus, she had two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that now she knows where she has traveled to. The bad news is that she is now in the Marvel Universe...

"1407 Greymagin Road, Salem Center, Westchester County, New York City... Well, more bad news is coming, this is not the MCU universe."

After realizing that this was the Marvel Universe, Selina returned to the bedroom and picked up the deeds again. As expected, she found some troublesome things that she had not noticed before. There was indeed a piece of information in the lease agreement that matched the information on the deed, and the signature column of that contract was written in an elegant cursive font with the name "Charles Francis Xavier"...

"This is really... good news."

At least, she didn't have to go hungry tonight, nor did she have to go to work with that crappy resume.

(PS: This is the main universe of writing, read it as a side story!)

(PS2: Then it stretched out a tail and placed it on the ground in an attempt to trap Piao Piao...)

Chapter 2: What should I do after traveling through time? Is there anyone who knows what I am talking about?

Travel through...

This is not a strange word to the middle-aged and elderly people living in the Internet age of the 21st century. Not to mention that young people are flocking to it. Looking at the development history of the entire entertainment industry, themes that have become popular and have been popular for decades have always had the enduring element of time travel.

In this era where time travelers are everywhere and systems are as numerous as dogs, Selina was not as surprised as she thought she was. What she felt most now was a kind of creepiness, just like the fear of Warhammer fans who traveled into the 40K universe and ended up crying like a fart. Her knowledge of Marvel comics allowed her to understand what a terrible world she had entered from the books and newspapers scattered around the apartment, and just a few words of information.

This is not the fear of Thanos controlling everything in the world with the Infinity Gauntlet in the comics, nor is it the despair that no one can escape because the Secret War destroyed the entire old Marvel multiverse.

It comes from biological instinct.

That was a flash of lightning that streaked across the rolling dark clouds, and the piercing coldness brought by the meaning behind it...

Just a joke, in a memoir about former President Steve Rogers in Selina's home, he is not called 'Captain America' but 'Colonel America'.

People who don't know Marvel may not know how much information is hidden in this small difference in title. Because they may not know from the beginning to the end that Captain America is actually a wrong translation. Its correct translation should be Captain America. Because Captain means captain, and Colonel means colonel. In the US military rank system, colonel is three levels higher than captain. So the word "Captain" in Captain America does not actually refer to the word "Captain", but Steve Rogers' rank in the US military!

So now, here comes the problem.

Is it a bad thing that Captain America's rank is three levels higher than that of the 616 universe?

Yes, this is a bad thing.

So... where exactly is it broken?

The bad thing is that in the entire Marvel multiverse, there is only one universe where Captain America's rank is Colonel. It is not the 1610 universe, nor is it a completely new universe, nor is it the animated version of the What If series of the MCU.

In the comics, there is only one Steve Rogers called 'Colonel America', who was once the President of the United States. That is the Steve Rogers of the 2149 universe...

That is, the zombie universe.

Honestly, the fact that Selina didn't commit suicide on the spot is a sign of good mental quality. Because anyone who has read the comics should know how miserable the zombie universe is, especially as the original source of the spread of the hunger virus. The entire 2149 universe has become an inescapable time loop under the intervention of the observer. It was not until the outbreak of the secret war that the zombies had a chance to escape. As a time traveler, Selina has neither a system nor a cheat code. It is already difficult to survive in the mouths of these zombies, let alone escape from this time loop.

"Alas...knowing too much is not a good thing."

If Selina is a naive time traveler who has only watched MCU movies and knows what X-Men are, then now that she has seen the deed, what she would do is go to Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters and find Charles to pay the rent. She would also say something nice and express her support for mutants. Then, like the protagonist of a certain cool novel, she successfully gained the friendship of the X-Men. But in this world that seems to be a zombie universe, every minute and every second she has has become extremely precious. Because that only leads to the possibility that the zombie heroes who caused everything may appear at any time and turn the whole of New York into a living hell!

As for praying that this isn't a zombie universe? Anyway, with so many parallel universes in Marvel, there must be more than one Captain America named 'Colonel America'...

"Heh, this is just like playing with an axe in the DC Universe. No one will have a good ending."

Shaking her head, Selina, who had to quickly formulate an escape plan, felt overwhelmed at the moment. Although it has not been confirmed by any official channels, the two famous jokes, or curses, in the comics circle are that the Captain America in the DC universe plays with an axe and the Captain America in the Marvel universe is not called Captain America. In the DC universe, even if someone is as powerful as Darkseid's father, Yuga Khan, as long as he dares to play with an axe, he will eventually be hung on the Origin Wall and be prostituted by Billy. And if the Captain America in the Marvel universe is not called Captain America, then the things that will happen in this universe will often be as outrageous as "subway, old man, mobile phone".

For example, marrying Iron Man, becoming the captain of Hydra, etc...

"If this is really a zombie universe, I have to either flee to another universe or gain enough strength to protect myself in a short period of time. And it must be an unprecedented strength that surpasses those masked people who can only fight in the streets."

Thinking of this, Selena frowned again.

If this is the 616 universe, then she can actually do a lot. As the main universe in the mouths of many newbies, the good things in that place have been accumulated in decades of comics, and there are too many to count. But the problem is here, the 2149 universe is not exactly the same as the 616 universe. For example, the first major event in Marvel history is the Galactus coming to Earth. And the Galactus of the 2149 universe did not come until the human heroes were almost wiped out. Since then, no one on Earth has ever seen Galactus, let alone the Infinity Stones more than years later...

Most importantly, the place where the zombie sentinels landed in the comics happens to be Manhattan where Selina is now.

As for your question, how did Serena know this was Manhattan?

Because the Clinton district in the real world is in Manhattan!

If there are still people who don't recognize this name, then if I change it to Hell's Kitchen, I believe everyone should understand how hot the pile of land deeds in her house are at this moment.

"But then again, if I remember correctly, ordinary people in the Marvel world seem to have something called the X-gene. Pure humans are the real minority. And in the X-Men comics, the drug that activates the X-gene was developed by Beast, so doesn't that mean..."

Selina successfully went over all the information in her mind and now understood that she had to go to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

(PS: People who play with axes in the DC universe usually have a miserable end. Yuga Khan was hung on the Origin Wall after using an axe. Superboy-Prime touched Mongo's axe and was hung on the Origin Wall. And Ares, who used an axe as a weapon, had his head twisted off by Injustice... So cherish your life and stay away from axes.)

Chapter 3 The Secret of Collecting Rent is to Eat for Free

Big trouble...

Selina got up from the taxi and looked at Professor Charles who was standing at the entrance of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters to greet her. The smile that had just appeared on her face froze in an instant.

"Welcome, Ms. Selina. I heard that the Democratic Party hasn't been doing well recently?"

There was a mocking smile on the other person's face, and the big 'Ex-Men' logo on his chest gradually shone under the sunlight.

"I didn't come here to listen to these sarcastic remarks, but you can rest assured that the Republicans will not be able to be re-elected. When the next presidential election comes, it will definitely be our Democratic Party that will take office."

With a twitching eye, Serena looked at Professor X, who looked like a fox in front of her. Her heart had already sank. If she hadn't seen the mutant ability suppressor on his wrist, she might have turned around and asked the taxi driver to go home.

"So...Ms. Serena came prepared this time."

As if surprised by Selina's confident tone, Charles raised his eyebrows slightly, and then put away his artificial smile.

"We are actually very similar. The Kennedy family is originally from the Republican Party. And you bet on both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, so we are betting on both sides. No matter which side comes to power, we will be the beneficiaries in the end. But what you said is indeed right. I came here this time... I really came prepared."

As she spoke, Serena suddenly leaned close to Charles' ear and whispered.

"I have a problem that requires you and your God."

Upon hearing this, Charles looked quite puzzled.

"Ma'am, I don't understand what you mean. According to the requirements of the Act, mutants may not be able to participate in these political disputes..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Selina.

"Let's be frank. There is something wrong with this world, and I need the help of the Ancients. Otherwise, why would I look for you?"

As soon as these words came out, Charles, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his expression. It seemed that he had not expected to hear that word suddenly. He first stretched out his hand to pull Selina, who was standing in front of the door and looking at him teasingly, into the door, and then raised his hand to his temple. Visible fluctuations swept across the entire block in an instant, and the bracelet that was supposed to suppress the activation of mutant abilities only lasted for a moment before it exploded into a circle of scrap metal...

"you......"

Looking at Charles in front of her who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Selina pointed to her head and then pointed to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
