Chapter 335: Daily News
Two months had passed since the Giant Beast Disaster. The spectacle of Superheroes saving the world felt somewhat distant from the lives of Ordinary Persons. Federation Persons typically enjoyed family and travel.
Outside of work, they would take some time off each year to travel around.
However, in the past two years, Earth had been plagued by disasters, almost extinguishing people's desire to travel.
After the threat at the beach subsided, major scenic areas and attractions saw a surge of revenge tourism. The previously empty beaches were now bustling with activity again.
On the long beach, the slightly salty sea breeze accompanied the Sea Waves as they crashed onto the sand. Sunlight spilled onto the sand, making the entire beach appear golden.
On the beach, there were beautiful women everywhere in three-point bikinis. Some were more daring, with just a few scraps of fabric that together weren't even palm-sized. These women were either playing beach volleyball, their bodies swaying precariously, or surfing with their boyfriends. For a while, the entire Manhattan Park Beach felt somewhat scorching hot.
A yellow Chevrolet Camaro stopped in the Parking Lot next to the beach. Two young white men, wearing only swim trunks and carrying surfboards under their arms, walked onto the beach. Their eyes darted left and right along the way, overwhelmed by the vast expanse of white skin.
"How about it, Peter? I told you we should have come together sooner!"
The brown-haired kid waved at a tall bikini Beauty not far away, receiving a distant flying kiss from the Blonde Woman in return. His hormones surging, he couldn't help but nudge his friend's Shoulder.
"Oh, right—"
Compared to the brown-haired kid, the slightly shorter young man seemed less accustomed to such a revealing scene, unsure where to look. He replied to his companion somewhat perfunctorily.
"By the way, Peter, I heard you applied to New York State University?! Why choose there? With your grades, you clearly have better options!"
Holding their surfboards, the two walked side-by-side towards the beach. The brown-haired young man couldn't help but ask his companion.
Peter turned his head to look at his companion: "Harry, you should know I plan to work at Tang Group's biological Laboratory this summer. Professor Connors is a visiting professor at New York State University. I heard that Tang Group's biological Laboratory prioritizes New York State University students during interviews. I plan to apply for Professor Connors's doctoral program. That way, after graduation, I can directly enter Tang Group!"
"Tang Group, Peter? I thought with our relationship, you'd choose Osborn. Our Oscorp's research in the biological field is no less than Tang Group's! How about coming to Oscorp after graduation? When I take over from the Old Man, we'll make Oscorp bigger and stronger together!"
Harry Osborn put his arm around his friend's Shoulder and said. Peter Parker's face showed a conflicted expression. Oscorp was indeed a top Company in the biological field, but he had promised Professor Connors that he would go to Tang Group.
Moreover, he had the good fortune to visit Tang Group's biological Laboratory, and some of the Equipment and biological Samples there were things he had never even heard of.
For Peter, who was aspiring to research biological science, this temptation was comparable to a red-haired dancer pole dancing in front of him.
But Harry was his best friend. For a moment, Peter Parker felt conflicted.
Harry saw his friend's conflicted expression. He reached out and ruffled Peter's hair: "Alright, don't think about it too much for now. It's still early before we graduate from university. Take your Time to consider. Maybe by the time you graduate, Tang Group will have already gone Bankrupt. Then, you can just come straight to Oscorp!"
"Tang Group going Bankrupt? How could such a big Company?"
"Can't I make a joke?"
"Right, Harry, which school did you apply to?"
"Harvard. My Master Splinter wants me to study business management!"
"Harvard?"
"Peter, what's with that look! Okay, my Master Splinter donated a building to Harvard!"
"I knew it!"
"Hey! What do you mean? Don't run!"
The two young men in swim trunks, joking and wrestling, rushed towards the Ocean with their surfboards. —What Harry didn't notice was that when he mentioned Tang Group's Bankruptcy, a tourist lying on a Beach Chair under a Sun Umbrella not far away pushed down his Sunglasses and looked at them.
Tang Song lay on the Beach Chair, his upper body bare, wearing beach shorts. A tall bikini Beauty was applying sunscreen to his Body.
"Mr. Tang! I'm done with the back, do you want me to do the front?"
The first female world Champion of the Federation F1 Formula Race, after applying sunscreen to the last bit of exposed Skin on Boss Tang's back, leaned down and whispered softly in his ear.
The woman's hair brushed against Tang Song's ear. Her breath was like orchids, and her graceful Body was almost perfectly pressed against Boss Tang.
Tang Song turned over, letting the woman's cool small hands busy themselves on his Body.
Gisele dripped sunscreen onto Tang Song's Abdomen, then pressed her hands down, pushing and rubbing evenly up and down. Feeling the lines of his Muscle under her fingers, her eyes couldn't help but fall on Tang Song's lean, muscular waist and V-cut abs. She strongly steadied her Mind, repeating Tang Song's Identity in her heart, and leaned over Tang Song's Body to apply sunscreen for him.
Tang Song lowered his head and could even see a hint of white through the bikini. However, under his Sunglasses, Tang Song's Eyes were lost in thought, looking at the colorful Energy around him.
*Splash, splash, splash*, a sound like the Sea Tide, audible only to Tang Song, echoed around him.
That was the sound of the surrounding Energy continuously converging into his Inside the Body. Whether it was the Water Vapor by the sea, the Essence of Sunlight Qi in the Sky, the pure Dimension Energy condensed by the Space Gem, or even the various trace Rays floating in the air that Ordinary Persons couldn't see at all – all were swallowed by Tang Song, like a black hole, and instantly absorbed, transforming into surging Spiritual Energy.
Feeling the various Energies from the outside world directly transform into surging Spiritual Energy, constantly filling the cells throughout his Entire Body, Tang Song couldn't help but stretch. That lazy, comfortable feeling made Tang Song narrow his Eyes.
Tang Song did not filter and convert these Energies using the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram. For Tang Song at this moment, the Energy of all things in this Universe could be directly converted into Spiritual Energy by him.
This Ability was like the Kryptonian next door who could increase his Strength just by basking in the Sun. However, compared to Superman, Tang Song could absorb all known Energies in the entire Universe.
Whether it was the Evil God Power from the dark Dimensions or the Light and Heat Energy emitted by Stars, Tang Song could directly convert them into the Spiritual Energy needed for Cultivation. This Ability could be said to make his Cultivation twice the results with half the effort, advancing a thousand li in a day.
As for the source of this Ability, it naturally came from a wish made using the Infinity Stone.
That's right, the first Finger Snap Tang Song made by controlling the Drought Zombie was using the power of the Infinity Stone to grant himself the Ability to convert all Energy into Spiritual Energy.
At the same Time, the efficiency of this Energy absorption could also be adjusted by him. At his fastest, he could even swallow the Light and Heat released by several Stars at once.
Of course, this also required his Body to be able to withstand it.
The Reason Tang Song chose this Ability and did not directly choose to use the power of the Infinity Stone to directly raise his Strength to the Realm of Creation Immortal Golden Immortal in the Jambudvīpa World was very simple.
The Reason was also simple: the power of the six Infinity Stones could not, all at once, analyze the essence of a Golden Immortal from the root of Tang Song's memory.
This was due to the difference in the underlying Rules of the two Worlds. A Golden Immortal in the Jambudvīpa World had already come into contact with the Dao of the Jambudvīpa World, which is the underlying Rules.
The Infinity Stones in Tang Song's hand were merely products of the Rules of one Universe within the Multiverse, and the difference in scale compared to the Jambudvīpa World was truly significant.
This was like giving you a normal Calculator and asking you to calculate the exact value of Pi to the hundred thousandth decimal place.
This was not an impossible Mission, but it could not be done relying solely on the few Infinity Stones Tang Song had.
As for the Chaos Bell that Tang Song had previously manifested using the Reality Stone, that was the Reality Stone simulating his conceptual understanding of the Chaos Bell.
With the Great Desolation Bell in hand, the Chaos Bell simulated by Tang Song had quite a bit of its divine charm.
Therefore, when it came to using the Infinity Stone, Tang Song first ruled out things he could do himself. Just like the construction of the Heavenly Court, he could use the power of the Infinity Stone to wish to directly replicate the ancient Heavenly Court he saw in his memories, or he could slowly build it using his Subordinates.
Tang Song naturally chose the latter. After weighing the gains and losses and calculating the scope of the Infinity Stone's wishing Ability, Tang Song chose an Ability that would help his Cultivation!
In the Parking Lot close to the beach, a Black Mercedes-Benz Car stopped. A Bodyguard Driver wearing a Black Suit and an Earpiece got out of the Car, went to the back seat, and respectfully opened the Car Door. A German Man in a Tuxedo with short silver hair stepped out.
The man's elite attire, different from the beachgoers, attracted many people, and several bold bikini girls even gave him enthusiastic Invitations.
The man seemed to have no interest in even looking at them and walked straight towards the row of Sun Umbrellas on the beach not far away.
"Boss!" His Leather Shoes made no sound on the sand. Lane walked to the Beach Chair. Tang Song waved his hand, and Gisele got up from Tang Song's Body and obediently walked to the side.
With the soft warmth on his chest gone, Tang Song simply put his arms under his head and looked lazily at Lane:
"Lane, this is my rare leisure Time. Is there something important that you have to disturb me?"
Lane glanced sideways at his "shameless" Boss. If he couldn't beat him, he would definitely give this Capitalist a good beating.
He took out several documents and handed them to him, saying: "Boss, the Invitation Letter for the European Mining Production Capacity Summit has been sent over. They want to invite you to attend!"
"What's the topic this Time?"
"It's about Earth's Mining Industry protection. They want to protectively shut down Earth's mines and focus on Interstellar Mining. Our Mining Company, a subsidiary of Tang Group, currently holds eleven percent of the entire Interstellar Mining Market Share!"
Tang Song was half-reclining on the Beach Chair, enjoying the happiness of his Cultivation Base rapidly increasing. He shook the Orange Juice in his hand: "No interest. How about you go for me, Lane?"
Lane had an expression that said he knew this would happen: "Boss, have you forgotten? I have to coordinate the construction of the Heavenly Court!"
"Then find someone else to go. Who is the current Person in charge of the Mining Company? David or Leon? Let them go!"
At this moment, Tang Song was like a slacker during vacation who was too lazy to get out of bed. At the peak of his laziness, the feeling of countless Energies converging on his Body was like lying in the Yard on a winter day, basking in the warm Sunlight. It was so comfortable that he didn't want to move at all.
"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!"
Lane finished handling the Matters at hand and made several Phone Calls in a row, coordinating and dealing with the things Tang Song had just approved. After he finished being busy, just as he was about to head to the Parking Lot, he turned his head and looked at the tall Race Queen waiting on the beach not far away.
"Boss! This woman named Gisele has some Identity issues. She seems to be from Mossad!"
"Mossad? That Israeli Intelligence Organization? Why are they Targeted me, an honest Capitalist! Could it be that they found out about us selling Missiles to Palestine, so they sent a beautiful Female Agent to Assassinate me!" Tang Song looked shocked!
"Lane, quickly have Kane send a team of Bodyguards over!"
Lane looked at his dramatic Boss and felt a little tired. Assassinate you? Even if the Israeli Government had this woman detonate a Nuclear Warhead next to you, you'd probably be completely unharmed.
However, he still explained to Tang Song: "Our people found that she seems to have been seconded from Israel. Our people have locked onto several suspicious Jewish Consortiums! They have Business conflicts with us. Also, their supporters will be participating in this Presidential Election!"
"Regarding them, how do you plan to handle it?"
"Get rid of them. What do we still need to worry about now?"
Tang Song reached up and pushed down his Sunglasses, giving Lane a look.
"I'll arrange it right away!" Lane said, walking towards the Parking Lot. After taking a few steps, he turned back and said to Tang Song:
"Right, Boss, regarding Bodyguards, how about I get you a row of Iron Soldiers to guard you?"
"Scram!" Tang Song pulled down his Sunglasses and laughed, cursing.
After Lane left, Tang Song put his Sunglasses back on. The high-tech Sunglasses projected a Video transmitted from the Stars onto his Retina. It was a picture of countless Warships engaging in Combat among the Stars.
In the Pitch Black Space, a massive Fleet was sailing quietly. As they passed through an Asteroid Belt, countless Warships suddenly emerged from all directions. These Warships, which had been charging Energy for a long Time, immediately began Shelling the Warships belonging to the Black Order after lifting their Stealth Mode / Cloaking.
As soon as the Combat began, it entered an intense phase. The ambushing Kree Warships immediately used Planet-destroying Weapons, completely stunning the unprepared Black Order. By the Time their Warship Main Cannons finished charging and launched a Counterattack, one-third of their Warships had already turned into cosmic fireworks.
Amidst the radiance of the intersecting Energy Cannons, a Figure wrapped in a layer of Energy Glow was exceptionally eye-catching. Almost like a Human Form water droplet, she easily destroyed the Black Order's Warships one after another.
Her Figure weaved through the Dark Fleet. The exploding Warships, in the Pitch Black Night Sky, instantly seemed to light up a string of firecrackers, creating a spectacular scene.
"Captain Marvel, huh!"
Regarding this woman, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top-secret Files had records of her. An Earth-skinned altruistic alien woman.
Tang Song stroked his chin. If he remembered correctly, the pager that the deceased Director Nick Fury treasured for contacting Captain Marvel was still gathering dust in his Five Yin Wallet.
Regarding this Great Saint Mother, Boss Tang had no interest. As long as she didn't interfere with his Matters and honestly maintained her so-called Justice in the Milky Way Galaxy, that was fine.
If this woman really maintained Justice to the point of interfering with him, Tang Song would not hesitate to add another Human Life to his hands.
Perhaps because of Lane's attire, some well-built beach girls came over one after another to hit on Tang Song, who seemed like a rich man. When they got closer, they noticed the handsome Asian and his mouth-watering physique.
Tang Song had no choice but to point to Gisele beside him, refusing their party Invitations on the grounds that he had a female companion.
"An Intelligence Agent, isn't that much more attractive than a Champion Model!" Tang Song despised Lane's lack of sense.
After watching the Video, Tang Song beckoned to the former model, Race Champion, and Spy Agent. The tall Beauty, stacked with buffs, came before Tang Song, voluntarily leaned over and sat on him to apply sunscreen for him.
Tang Song picked up the Newspaper he was using to pass the Time. The enlarged and bolded news headline prominently read:
"Shocking! Former Commander of the Federal Northern Military Region and his Son got into a fierce fight, the Reason Was Competing for a Woman!"
Below the headline, a New York Times columnist eloquently described a love triangle. The New York Times even thoughtfully included Photos.
There were scandalous photos of Harry Phil and a graceful woman, and scandalous photos of Sto Fel and her. In between were photos of the father and son fighting, accompanied by captions.
Finally, there was a picture of Harry Phil and Sto Fel together with her, with the caption, Father and son reconcile.
