Chapter 905 "SUCCESSOR/Successor" (5)

Phil stood in a perfect position: the outsider's position.

Because he has no interest in superheroes, he is completely guided by God's perspective, so Phil himself has no flaws. The people also support and encourage his behavior very much. Even if other superheroes are unhappy, they still have to worry about the influence of the public if they want to teach Phil some lessons.

Just like that, a full ten months passed.

The fans accumulated by Phil as a mentor in the show "Successor" were perfectly transformed into personal fans by him. A large number of the public really believe that Phil is a person with real talent and knowledge.

Everyone knows that Phil has an aide, but which superhero does not have an aide or an agent? It is normal to have an aide, and most people still believe in Phil's personal abilities.

Ten months later, Phil finally waited for another opportunity.

This time, the black apprentice in "Successor" was seriously injured and unconscious by a super criminal who was stronger than him during the mission because of a wrong judgment on the criminal's strength.

As the black apprentice mentor, Phil can be said to be the leader of the apprentice. His evaluation of this matter naturally plays an important role in the public's mind.

Phil first went to the hospital to visit the black apprentice, and his sad expression was moving. At this moment, the barriers between white people and black people, rich people and civilians seemed to be broken, and everyone only saw the sincere feelings between one mentor and his apprentice.

Phil met the black apprentice's girlfriend and gave her many precious gifts as condolences. He generously stated that he would bear the full medical expenses of the black apprentice.

The black apprentice's girlfriend was deeply moved and talked about the daily trivial matters of the black apprentice when she was with her in front of the camera.

The black apprentice respects Phil very much and believes that Phil has a kindness to him. Before each mission, he will ask himself: What would he do if Phil's mentor encounters this situation? And after each mission, regardless of whether it is complete or not, he will ask himself: Will there be a better way to deal with this situation if Phil's mentor encounters this situation?

Finally, the girlfriend of the black apprentice said a famous quote from a superhero senior: The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and hope that Phil can become a superhero and truly make his own contribution to changing the world.

Phil remained silent for a long time, but did not give an answer immediately. Instead, he said that he had to think about it and then announced his decision on Twitter.

Two days later, Phil posted an inspiring tweet.

He said that his current life is relaxed and comfortable, and he has a career that he is willing to fight for. Being a superhero means that he has to give up his media company and his current free life, which is a huge sacrifice for him.

But then, his words changed.

Now, the successors of the world captain have become pedantic, and the superhero system that the people are proud of is gradually declining.

Those long-standing superheroes are obsessed with fame and fortune, and are increasingly distracted from the lives of ordinary people. They are in high positions but do nothing, and have completely separated from the people at the bottom;

The Superhero Association has gained a huge amount of commercial value in superheroes. They are becoming more and more keen on creating stars, packaging, and eliminating negative news. They often deceive the public because of stupid arrangements that have caused many ordinary people to be hurt by crime;

There are also ordinary people who are as passionate as this black guy who become superheroes. They are passionate but not strong enough to change the status quo.

Phil said in Twitter that although becoming a superhero means a huge sacrifice for him, he has been fed up with the inaction of superheroes and the suffering brought to the city by crime, and he decided to stand up and become a superhero and change the status quo.

I hope all the people can support him, join him in recreating the spirit of the world captain, reducing the crime rate, saving those possible tragedies in the future, and bringing superheroes back on track.

The tweet immediately triggered a warm response, and he also skipped the first stage directly and gained the power of a superhero.

Phil's behavior aroused the alert from the Superhero Association. For the association, Phil was an uncertain factor. They were worried that Phil would cause greater damage to the existing system after entering the association, so they did not invite Phil, but instead turned him out on the excuse of "the association's regulations".

Phil couldn't find it.

For ordinary superheroes, joining the Superhero Association is the only choice, because not joining means no popularity, no exposure, no task, and it is also difficult to contact the funder to provide himself with the next stage of campaign funds.

But Phil didn't need these, joining the Superhero Association was a constraint on him.

Therefore, Phil chose to become a "Lone Man". He was away from the entire superhero system and would only take action personally if he encountered an event that would be 100% successful.

Not only that, Phil continued to spend a lot of money to bribe criminals through the middlemen, learn about the criminals' action plan in advance, and perfectly stop the crime.

Because most of the tasks to be performed are dangerous, and a small part is arranged, and there are no unknown tasks that are forcibly assigned by the association like other heroes, Phil's success rate in executing tasks is particularly high.

Whenever Phil successfully performs a mission, he will arrange for his own media company and TV stations with good relationships to report it extensively, and he will later disclose some details of the action to fans who support him on Twitter at high frequency.

Moreover, Phil made a big fuss about not joining the Superhero Association, which has three benefits:

First of all, it can create a feeling of "volunteering" for all fans. Compared with those who become superheroes for fame and fortune, Phil will appear nobler and more independent;

Secondly, he can not participate in some events that are difficult, successful, and unwilling to take action. Moreover, fans will not question him for picking and choosing. After all, if you are not within the Superhero Association, you cannot get detailed information about various events. Phil can say that it is too late to know this incident;

Finally, he can stay out of the matter and continue to evaluate some events that he has not participated in, and at the same time he can freely complete some events. In this way, he will not only block the mouths of those who say "you can do it, you can do it" and will not show his timidity because he has participated in events that he cannot control.

Therefore, Phil continued to accumulate fame through this method, and in the eyes of fans, he was a truly capable, faith and sentimental superhero. The only problem was that there were not enough supporters, so Phil's superpowers were limited and he could not do some bigger careers.

The Superhero Association's "jealousy, suppression and obstruction" of Phil has made Phil suffer unfair treatment, and has also made many fans feel unfair about him. Fans are increasingly developing towards an extreme trend of grouping.

But Phil knew very well that this state could not last forever.

If he keeps hitting the Superhero Association, one day it will arouse the disgust of superheroes. He must enter the next stage as soon as possible and gain more powerful strength.

So he entered the third stage, preparing for his own program as a superhero, and began to prepare for the superhero campaign.

After Phil released the news, many superheroes scoffed at it because Phil's qualifications were completely insufficient to participate in this level of campaign.

Other superheroes often need to accumulate two to three years before they can start preparing for superhero campaigns, but Phil is obviously too fast and his foundation is not solid.

In the eyes of other superheroes, Phil has three very difficult problems to solve when he wants to participate in the superhero campaign to gain more support from people and have stronger superpowers:

First of all, no large consortium will provide him with campaign funds. Of course, Phil can pay for it himself to serve as campaign funds, which is relatively easy to solve.

Secondly, because Phil did not join the Superhero Association, he could not give public speeches and debates on the occasions where the Superhero Association was. His name would be nominated, but this nomination was only symbolic. Because there was no chance to appear, it was difficult to get votes.

In the end, Phil does not have a very clear representative group. Minorities, transgenders, immigrants and other groups have their own representative heroes, and Phil's image is incompatible with the demands of these groups. With his little fans alone, no matter how strong his combat power is, he will be eliminated by one person and one vote at most.

Therefore, most superheroes, and even the official staff of the association who organized superhero elections, felt that this was another performance of Phil attracting attention and did not take this matter seriously at all.

But soon, they found themselves wrong: Phil had obviously thought about these issues long ago.
