Chapter 2749 Star Core Rescue (Thirty-Five)

Sophia pressed her brows with a headache. She said, "Not many media are paying attention to you right now. Everyone wants to know who those two guys who turned into expressions are. Even if they come to you, they must want you to talk about this. You'd better be mentally prepared."

"This is impossible!" Baker shouted in a high voice, "Why would they care about those two monsters? Shouldn't they care more about me who defeated them?"

"Maybe because they are interesting." The Chinese scientist shrugged and said, "There is no reason, they are just interesting."

"It's ridiculous!" Baker pounded the table and said, "Even the newspaper we invited is reporting on those two damn monsters..."

"But their report is very popular." Sofia emphasized: "They want to do an exclusive interview with you this afternoon to talk about what happened that night. You have to try your best to meet their requirements. There are many viewers waiting."

"I can't accept an interview. I'm the mysterious man!" Baker pointed at himself and said, "They must be chasing me to find my whereabouts. How can I take the initiative to accept their interview?"

"But if you don't do this, you won't have the chance to expose Stark's conspiracy." Sofia said earnestly: "You must win over the media first, otherwise you won't be able to change the jury's opinion of you."

When the jury was mentioned, Baker's heart skipped a beat. He took off his helmet and let out a long sigh. The expression on his face was alternately depressed and irritable.

After a while, he still asked: "When will the reporters come?"

"About two hours later, relax and think about how to respond to their questions later."

Coulson walked into Schiller's office with some newspapers and a magazine, put the things on his desk and said, "The woman named Sophia has financial dealings with the owner of the Daily Bugle. It seems that they want to use the Daily Bugle to promote Mysterio. Do you want to send someone to interfere?"

Schiller raised an eyebrow and said, "Doesn't the Daily Bugle like to cause trouble for Spider-Man? Why did it change its target?"

"Because Spider-Man hasn't appeared in public for too long." Coulson shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten? Peter has been in the lab for almost half a year, and his fans are leaving him badly. The newspaper also relies on hot topics to survive."

"So they're targeting this emerging superhero?"

"Yes, initially it seems that they are looking for a new cash cow. The boss is quite capable, so I asked if you want to interfere."

"Of course not. I know the style of this newspaper." Schiller didn't even look at the magazines and newspapers Coulson brought. He said, "How do you think they create hot topics?"

Coulson actually didn't read these things, but he had dealt with a lot of media, so he said: "Anyway, they just hype and exaggerate, and if that doesn't work, they just make up stories or even spread rumors..."

Schiller shook his head and said, "The Daily Bugle is different. When others are keen on creating gods, he is keen on pulling people down from the altar. Even if the other party is not even a god, he will definitely pull them down. This is the secret of their boss."

Coulson seemed a little unconvinced, so he picked up the magazine on the table. This issue of the magazine was published when Spider-Man was still active. He picked it up and saw a headline written in big letters on it, "Spider-Man made his first appearance in the Bronx this month. Does this mean he will fall from the altar?"

Coulson read it twice but still couldn't understand the cause and effect relationship between the two sentences, so he couldn't help but repeat: "Why does Spider-Man's appearance mean that he will fall from the altar?"

"Because Jameson's logic is like this. He thinks all superheroes are clowns in weird clothes who only bring trouble to ordinary people. So once they appear, they will definitely fall from the altar." Schiller smiled and said, "Beck is quite good at picking people. Peter is almost fed up with him."

Coulson couldn't help but laugh. He said, "If that's the case, Baker has shot himself in the foot."

"But it's more than that. If Jameson was a person with strong stereotypes, Peter would not be annoyed by him, but would ignore him."

"Oh?" Coulson leaned forward with some interest. Schiller pointed to the magazine on the table and motioned him to take another look. Coulson picked up the magazine, glanced through it quickly, then widened his eyes slightly.

At least in this article, Jameson's words are quite meaningful. He even speculated that Spider-Man might be from Queens based on the range of his activities, and he has almost locked down the range of high school that Peter attended. The whole article is well-written, clear and easy to read.

This proves that he is not a good-for-nothing idiot who only knows how to create gimmicks, but a truly outstanding journalist and writer.

"That's the problem," Schiller said. "Peter even sees him as an equal. Every time he appears as Spider-Man, he has to be careful, for fear that he will catch him."

"But Jameson is a powerful character. Peter almost got caught before, but it was Chief George who covered it up."

"Is it that powerful?" Coulson couldn't help but re-examine Jameson and said, "Is he targeting Mysterio this time?"

"Of course he would target Mysterio, because the play directed by Baker is full of loopholes. Any smart person who collects all the information and analyzes it will find something wrong."

"Do you mean……"

"First of all, the technology is not perfect." Schiller picked up a newspaper and read it while saying, "The fire nuclear weapon attack he made is too rigid. Many industry insiders have come out to analyze it before."

"If he was smart, he should have differentiated the special effects animations he used from the previous monster attacks. But he was probably too confident and thought that the ones he used later were completely different from the previous ones and had been fully upgraded, so he didn't change the type of animation and still used things like fire, water, fog, etc."

"If you've simply participated in a verbal fight about a monster attack, you might not make this connection, but if someone has experienced both events at the same time, it's inevitable that they would associate these special effects together."

"Jameson is one of them?"

"Yes, and he is probably the one who reacts the fastest. If he is not sure, he will not approach the target without authorization."

"Like a secret agent?"

"He does a much better job than an agent." Schiller shook his head slightly and said, "He knows his position very well. He is not like an agent who has a powerful fist, but has a flexible tongue."

“When people see a fist, they will just run away, but when they see a weak tongue, they think they can control it and even use it to their own advantage.”

"A tactic of showing weakness?"

"Almost. It can be said that this trick works every time against those with bad intentions. This is why Jameson finally gave up harassing Peter. After such a long confrontation, he also found that Spider-Man is almost a selfless person and has never thought of using him to reverse his reputation. It is precisely because Jameson himself is trapped in the world of fame and fortune that he understands how rare it is to endure the bad reputation like Spider-Man and still do things quietly."

"It sounds like they'd be great friends," Coulson said.

"I think it's very likely that Jameson already knew that Spider-Man is Peter Parker, and it's precisely because of his admiration for Spider-Man that he didn't make it public."

"Wait, then Miles is..."

"So this is the real test for Miles." Schiller chuckled and said, "Peter told me that Miles once confessed that he wanted to be famous, but if his desire overwhelmed his conscience, Jameson would give him a hard time. And if his conscience really overwhelmed his desire, then Jameson would definitely not hesitate to help him get what he wanted."

"It seems that he is a fan of Spider-Man, and a fanatical one at that." Coulson sat down and said with a smile: "He wants Spider-Man to be better than anyone else."

"Of course, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one fan." Schiller said: "The reason why Peter dared to hand over such a powerful force to Miles so easily is because he knows that Spider-Man has never fought alone. There are people who care about him and supervise him. No matter who gets this identity and this power, he can only be Spider-Man. If he wants to do something else, there will be too many people to make him suffer."

Coulson couldn't help but sigh: "Peter has made a good start. I haven't forgotten what kind of infamy he bore in the beginning. He has paid too much for the identity of Spider-Man and even shaped this word into a benchmark."

"That's right." Schiller nodded and said, "So he can retire perfectly after achieving success, without worrying about no one taking responsibility or wasting his energy. In fact, if Miles hadn't been chosen, Spider-Man's followers would have followed suit, and they would have done a great job."

"Is this a form of screening?" Coulson began to think further. He said, "Being able to see through the essence of Spider-Man's initial infamy means that they are smart and sober enough. Being willing to follow Spider-Man means that they recognize worldly morality and are quite kind. Being able to still pay attention to and supervise Spider-Man after he was replaced means that they respect the name of Spider-Man and even develop a Spider-Man spirit."

Coulson used his professional knowledge to judge: "It can be said that anyone who possesses the above qualities will definitely be able to use the Spider-Power, regardless of how well he or she does it. At least the Spider-Power will not be wasted."

Schiller gently turned the pen in his hand and said, "Have you not realized yet that Peter Parker in our universe is more like a spider than Spider-Man in any other universe. He weaves a special web at a specific time and place, and only catches what he needs."

Coulson's mouth dropped open as he said, "So this isn't a coincidence."

"Peter has ten thousand ways to clarify the public's misunderstanding of him, but he didn't do so. There is no need for him to let Jameson chase him. If he wants to hide, no one can find him. His time is also precious. Logically, he should spend all the time playing chasing games with fans on research..."

"He gave up long ago," Coulson said. "This time may be as early as the birth of the so-called third generation Spider-Man."

"Because of death." Schiller looked at Coulson and said, "Although he didn't really die, the impact of Spider-Man's social death made Peter see the characteristics of this society and ordinary people. If he doesn't do something, Spider-Man will definitely fall from the altar one day."

"And he established another set of rules." Coulson said thoughtfully: "He made people feel that it doesn't matter who Spider-Man is, what matters is what he will do. With Jameson as the core, he configured a complete set of supervision mechanisms."

"If he does well, he will be rewarded with fame and maybe even make money. If he does not do well, he will also be punished by public opinion. Fans will take the lead in scolding him, saying that he has brought shame to Spider-Man. Even if he dares to use his power to do bad things, Jameson has the ability to track down his true identity and expose it, making him completely defeated."

"And this won't affect the next Spider-Man. People will just say that the last one didn't do a good job and damaged Spider-Man's reputation, but they will still have high hopes for the next one."

"That makes more sense, doesn't it?" Schiller spread his hands and said, "It's the same for all superheroes. Their identities shouldn't just be themselves, but should become a symbol that will be passed down, and their merits and demerits will be judged by future generations."

Coulson stared at Schiller in a daze and said, "You mean Iron Man, Captain America, the Sorcerer Supreme, etc...."

"Is there anything wrong?"
