Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Sign-in for Twenty-Five Years, Silver Superman
Dear Carl.
I'm interested in your bar in Queens. Perhaps a million dollars would be a good price.
In three days, I will bring someone to the bar to discuss the matter with you.
I'm sure you won't turn me down, after all, you don't want any accidents to happen, would you?
...
New York City, Queens Street.
It was already late at night, but under the brilliant neon lights, the city shone even brighter than during the day.
In a luxurious apartment.
Carl was currently sitting on the sofa, his right hand clenched, crushing the letter in his hand into a ball.
"I can't believe I've met such a piece of shit, threatening me ..."
Tossing the letter aside, he picks up an exquisite highball glass.
Taking a sip of the fine wine, Carl gazes at the delicate and beautiful neon lights outside the window and sighs softly, "What a nice view."
Twenty-four years ago, Carl arrived in this world.
As he grew older, he learned that the city he was in was called New York City.
Originally, Carl thought that he had just come to a city on the other side of the ocean.
Until... he saw the Steve Rogers Memorial Museum.
That was Captain America.
With a bit of knowledge about Marvel, he knew what kind of place this was.
It was an extremely dangerous world.
Aliens, superheroes, and super villains ...
This place possessed many powerful people, and even gods from ancient legends existed.
Of course, this world was also interesting, after all, the Marvel world had all kinds of superheroes.
Along with Carl, there is also a sign-in system.
This is quite standard.
However, his sign-in system was different from the one in the novels of his previous life.
Carl's sign-in system not only allows him to check in at various locations every day.
He can even accumulate sign-ins.
Pre-set a sign-in time, such as one or two years.
Then, when the set time arrives, the sign-in is completed.
The longer the sign-in time, the more powerful the rewards.
After two consecutive days of checking in with items like powdered milk, Carl made a decision that made him somewhat regretful.
He decided to check in for twenty-five years in New York City!
So far, Carl has checked in for twenty-four years in New York.
As a result, he is still an ordinary person.
Yes, a normal person with black hair and black eyes, handsome and wealthy.
Since coming to this world, Carl has been adopted by a wealthy single businessman who was over fifty.
Carl Smith.
This was the name the old man chose for him.
Although it's a bit strange for an Eastern person to use such a name.
But out of gratitude for the man's upbringing, Carl has been using this name.
A few years ago, the kind old man passed away. The billions of dollars in family wealth had already been legally transferred to Carl through proper channels.
This included some real estate, the two bars.
There was also the old man's company and shares in several other companies.
It's worth mentioning that after learning that this was the Marvel world, Carl spent several years organizing his assets.
First, he sold his own company and then sold most of the shares in other companies.
This operation earned him a large sum of cash.
Afterward, Carl invested in some companies.
Like Stark Industries, Hammer Industries, Pym Technologies, and Oscorp.
These are the companies of Iron Man, Iron Man antagonist, the original Ant-Man, and the original Green Goblin, respectively.
After all, they were the only companies he knew would become industry titans since he somewhat remembered them from reading Marvel in his previous life.
Thanks to this operation, Carl's assets multiplied several times in just a few years.
Now he has assets worth several 10's of billions of dollars.
The letter that he had thrown into the trash, on the other hand, appeared in his bar at an unknown time.
The sender is Wilson Grant Fisk.
This name looks unfamiliar.
But he has a nickname, Kingpin.
Carl knows this character.
He is a super villain who claims to be the underground emperor of the East Coast United States, quite formidable.
Some people may not have heard of him.
But his opponents are quite famous.
The most famous among them is the good citizen Spider-Man in Queens.
There are also Daredevil, the Punisher, and even the X-Men and the Fantastic Four are his enemies.
Because there is a lot of underground business, he is in an adversarial relationship with many superheroes.
Recently, for some reason, he has set his sights on Carl's bar, wanting to take it over.
Honestly, Carl is just an ordinary person now. Although he has practiced combat skills from childhood to adulthood.
But when it comes to real combat, he is not an opponent for Kingpin.
However, he doesn't want to sell the bar that he has kept after selling his own company and other company shares.
The purpose is naturally not to sell, and he can go there for a drink when he has nothing else to do.
And now, someone wants to force him to sell?
Actually, Carl is not very afraid. He had already found Peter Parker, that is, Spider-Man, at Midtown High School.
It's just that the other party is still an ordinary person and has not been bitten by a mutated spider.
Carl has been paying attention to Peter Parker's movements, preparing to take the initiative and take away the mutated spider.
Although he has a good impression of Spider-Man, in such a situation, he can only say sorry.
Originally, Carl was not in a hurry about the mutated spider.
Just treated it as a backup plan.
But now, suddenly, Kingpin, a super villain, appeared.
The mutated spider is no longer a hope.
It seems that he has to rely on his own system.
Carl looks up and glances at the clock.
11:55.
There are five minutes left until his own sign-in time.
After twenty-five years of checking in, the reward can finally be obtained.
Carl is really looking forward to this reward.
If the system for checking in for twenty-five years can't give him anything good, Carl might as well just sell the bar business.
Just spend money to hire a super villain to assassinate Kingpin, or wait until he has the ability to take revenge later.
Carl picks up the glass and waits quietly.
[Ding! Host checks in for twenty-five years. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Silver Superman template.]
"Silver Superman?"
Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Carl trembles slightly.
Silver Superman!
The reward for checking in for twenty-five years did not disappoint him.
As a transmigrator, Carl naturally knows what kind of existence this is.
Silver Superman is the Superman from the Silver Age of DC Comics.
The Superman of this era is much more powerful than the ordinary Superman.
His abilities include destroying stars with a sneeze, moving a bunch of planets, absorbing magic, eating Kryptonite raw, extinguishing the sun, time and space travel...
Of course, in movies and comics, Superman has these abilities, and so does Silver Superman.
The Superman of the Silver Age may not be the most powerful, but he is the most potential.
Because he represents limitless potential.
Perhaps in a battle, he can gain a new ability.
With this sign-in reward, Carl doesn't need to snatch Spider-Man's mutated spider.
There's no need.
Leave the mutated spider to Peter Parker.
With such abilities, what does Carl have to worry about Kingpin?
Just wait for the other party to come and deliver themselves to death.
