Many English words are, in fact, newly coined. Especially many specialized terms that, if you aren't in that field, you probably won't understand. Unlike Chinese, where you can often guess the meaning from the characters.
For Captain America Rogers, who had been out of the loop for seventy years, he didn't recognize any of these words. His education wasn't great to begin with; after all, basic American education at the average citizen's level was, shall we say, quite disappointing.
Now, he felt like a complete illiterate. In the end, he needed Nick Fury to explain to him what everything meant. Only then did he begin to understand.
He didn't completely understand, but he was utterly shocked.
Especially when he heard about Spider-Man, Iron Man, the demigoddess Wonder Woman, Thor from Asgard, and even the various extraordinary events in those videos. For instance, Dormammu's invasion, and the existence of someone called the Ancient One. It almost shattered his worldview.
He appeared calm on the surface, but inside, his worldview had completely imploded.
He had only been frozen for seventy years. Why did it feel like he'd arrived seven thousand years in the future?
What kind of monsters were these?
"So, what else can I help with?" Captain America Rogers asked. "It seems like I can't handle any of these. You know, the strongest guy I've ever fought was Red Skull, but compared to the people mentioned here, he's nothing."
Captain America Rogers was very aware of his own strength. None of them were a match for him, not to mention someone like Dormammu. In his time, even science fiction and fantasy novels didn't have villains this over the top.
He could sacrifice himself, but what good would that do?
"Of course, not everyone has that kind of power. Besides those we can't deal with, there are many others we can handle, like certain terrorists, or werewolves, vampires, and so on," Nick Fury said.
"What? Werewolves, vampires? Are you kidding me?" Captain America Rogers said in shock.
Even though his worldview had already been shattered once, it didn't stop it from being shattered again.
Compared to someone like Dormammu, who he'd never even heard of before, werewolves and vampires were almost as well-known in Western folklore as God and angels.
"I'm not kidding, Captain. They're real," Nick Fury said. "I know this might be hard to accept all at once, but I can send you the files later. However, it seems a bit difficult to have you accept so much all at once. You can rest for a couple of days and get used to the world seventy years from now. We've rented an apartment for you nearby, or you can live at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters if you like. We have staff dorms."
"No, I'll stay in the rental," Captain America Rogers said quickly. He didn't want to be treated like a strange pet and observed.
After Nick Fury saw off Captain America Rogers, he immediately summoned Phil Coulson. He instructed him to release the news of Captain America's return and to prepare for inquiries from various high-ranking officials.
There was no way to hide this news, nor was there a need to.
The news of Steve Rogers, Captain America, reappearing in the world exploded like a nuclear bomb in the public sphere.
The dominance that Americans had established in culture and public opinion over the years was fully embodied in Captain America. Because the American government had been relentlessly creating a god-like figure for years, Captain America's influence had long surpassed America and affected the world.
For a time, the top ten trending topics were all related to Steve Rogers, Captain America, and even his related comics, animations, and games, all of which saw a surge in sales.
At this moment, Lin Feng was happily counting money with a sack.
Yes, he had made a huge profit this time with Captain America Steve Rogers' return, because he had previously acquired a large number of companies that held the copyrights to various film and television works featuring Steve Rogers, Captain America.
After all, Captain America Rogers had been promoted continuously for so many years, and all sorts of copyrights were flying everywhere. In this process, there were naturally many companies that were poorly managed and on the verge of closing down.
Captain America is a classic IP, but with more and more superheroes appearing these days, the newer ones provide a greater sense of novelty. Also, Captain America has been gone for a long time, and even though some people are making a killing, many are still struggling.
But all of that will change with Captain America's return.
Lin Feng just hadn't expected Captain America's return to be so early. He vaguely remembered that although the movie didn't specify the time, it seemed that the Avengers 1 plot began shortly after Captain America woke up.
So, Captain America's awakening should have been in 2010 or 2011, but it's only 2009 now.
He'd spent a full one billion US dollars to acquire the related copyrights of Captain America. He'd planned to hold onto them for a few years, but now Captain America's sudden early return has caused the valuations of these copyright companies to skyrocket.
Lin Feng sat behind the desk in his huge office. In front of him was none other than Sharon Carter, who was reporting to Lin Feng on the offers coming in from various companies like snowflakes.
"Boss, these are the ten companies that have made offers today. All of them are well-known cultural companies in the industry..."
Sharon Carter handed the file to Lin Feng.
She had been incredibly busy lately, secretly writing reports and summaries for S.H.I.E.L.D. while also working for Lin Feng. Because Lin Feng's company was just starting out, the people he needed weren't just single-skilled, they needed to be multi-talented individuals.
To avoid getting fired by Lin Feng, the black-hearted capitalist, Sharon Carter was working herself to the bone.
Especially since Captain America's return. Because Lin Feng had acquired several bankrupt companies, the workload suddenly exploded. Lin Feng was also a hands-off boss, so her workload increased dramatically. She was even promoted to vice president, which meant even more work.
The main thing was that she found Lin Feng's company to be a very normal investment firm. There was nothing particularly noteworthy, no dangerous scientific experiments, and no conspiracies to overthrow the government.
She didn't understand why the higher-ups had sent her here. Was it just so she could experience the life of a corporate drone?
Lin Feng looked at Sharon Carter's dark circles and chuckled inwardly.
Even if you're a secret agent, you still have to work like 007 for me.
However, seeing that Sharon Carter and Black Widow, although exhausted, could handle everything in an orderly manner, Lin Feng suspected they had done this kind of undercover work countless times, and had gained a lot of experience.
"You know how much we spent to acquire these companies and these copyrights, right?" Lin Feng asked.
"I know," Sharon Carter said through gritted teeth. This was precisely what she had been handling, and now, just after buying it, they were going to sell it again, making her feel like she had wasted her time.
"Five times. As long as their offer exceeds five times our acquisition price, we can sell the company or the rights to them. I believe they'll be willing," Lin Feng said, holding up a single finger.
Lin Feng had no intention of holding onto it long-term. Long-term operations would require too much effort. This one deal was enough for him to make forty billion US dollars, a massive profit.
What? Pay taxes?
If he had to pay taxes, it would only mean that the accounting team was being lazy. Fired, all of them.
This was America!
After receiving the instructions, Sharon Carter turned and left to continue her 007 duties. Lin Feng sighed, realizing he was becoming more and more like a qualified capitalist.
No, he was still a pure socialist youth. It was all this damn environment!
"Captain America Rogers is back too. Now the Avengers' three major figures are all together, the many events of this world are about to begin," Lin Feng said with a sigh.
A time of troubles!
As the sky darkened, Lin Feng finished work. Looking at the company, the lights were still on, and even the whole office building was still brightly lit. Without looking back, Lin Feng drove his newly acquired Lamborghini sports car back to his luxury apartment.
Although his wealth had jumped several levels, he didn't buy a higher-level mansion. The current one was enough.
He opened his diary and began today's entry. The progress bar in his mind was about to fill up again. After today's entry, he could draw a prize again, so he couldn't wait to go home and record his diary.
He had drawn twice in this period, but he didn't get anything good. The first was Superman's glasses, which could perfectly hide his identity and not be noticed by others.
It was a bit like a causality item, so metaphysical it was unbelievable.
The second was a skill, Gun Kata!
After obtaining it, Lin Feng's mastery of firearms reached the pinnacle, even able to make bullets curve. This perfectly proved a fact: being shot a dozen times in the back could indeed be suicide, no problem.
This skill is certainly powerful for ordinary people, but it doesn't mean much to someone like Lin Feng, who is invulnerable. At most, it's just for show.
After all, being strong is temporary, but being cool is forever.
"It's a turbulent time. Now Captain America has also returned. The Avengers' three major powerhouses are now together, which is a bit earlier than I expected. I originally anticipated it to be around 2010 or 2011, because the Chitauri invasion in 2012 would happen soon after. It was also the first time the Avengers assembled, and there were so many iconic moments."
