Glory of the Sun God (Marvel Sun God)
Chapter 68: Reputation Value, Future Choice
"Different, yes. I am referring to your abilities. This is the biggest difference between you and normal humans. But for people like us, except for a very few of you, other people are very different to us. It doesn't make any difference. Maybe some of you can fly, but we also have our own planes. Some of you can dodge around in a small area, making you omnipotent in a small stadium. But we also have a whole team of people working for us. Maybe some of you can walk through the barriers and see the layers of protection as if they were nothing. But seriously, if you don't take my stuff, it doesn't affect me at all."
"However, your abilities have an impact on the ordinary people who rely on them to make a living. And this is the root cause."
"Look, we are always just a minority. We need those ordinary people in large numbers to work for us, not you to work for us. If we need to choose, most of us will choose the position of those ordinary people instead of yours Position. As for why, it is very simple. Interests, the interests they create are greater than the interests you create. Therefore, the key to your problem is not us who are in power, but ordinary people."
"Human beings are a very narrow-minded race, and they have original sin. This is not what I said, this is what the Bible says. And one of the original sins is jealousy. Your differences make the ordinary people around you jealous. There's no doubt about it. Just like my sister's ability, if I had her ability, maybe I would be a baseball player now instead of a businessman."
"Look, even I am jealous. What's more, those ordinary people, once they think of what you have but they don't, they will definitely not feel very comfortable. At this time, if someone makes a little provocation, resentment will inevitably arise."
"Sir, can I ask why?" A young man stood up. "Have we disturbed them? Why are they jealous of us? Aren't they unreasonable?"
"Young man, can I ask your name?" Zhou Yi asked and asked the young man to sit down with a smile.
"Bobby, I'm Bobby"
After getting the young man's name, Zhou Yi continued to explain.
"Okay, Bobby. Let me give you an analogy. If you never get sick and go to the hospital because you are a mutant. In fact, Ororo told me, you really won't get sick. But while your brothers and sisters Not so, they suffer from all kinds of diseases. Do you think they would be jealous of you?"
"Sir, I don't know. I have a younger brother. Although our relationship is not very good, it shouldn't be to this extent." Bobby showed a troubled look, obviously he didn't know what his brother was thinking.
"So, let's extend this hypothesis a little bit
.You must know that although we have the support of the medical insurance system, hospitalization for illness and so on basically still requires some money.This may not be a problem for a family.But what if there is a comparison?”
"Your brother is not as healthy as you. When you were alive and kicking, he was taking medicine and listening to endless instructions from his parents. Do you think he will be comfortable and not jealous of you?"
"When your parents respond to your needs when you are healthy, but nag and treat you like a baby when you are not in good health. Do you think he will?"
Seeing Bobby's expression of not knowing how to answer, Zhou Yi waved his hand and changed the topic.
"Sorry, this may be a bit heavy for you. Let's change the metaphor. You are a porter who relies on physical labor for a living. Because of your health, you work more than others, and you ask your boss for Same thing. When the economy goes down and most workers are laid off, you are retained. What do you think they will think?"
"Not everyone will be jealous of me, after all, there are others left." Bobby asked doubtfully.There are obvious holes in topics like this.
"Yes, that's right. But what if your identity is exposed?" A strange look appeared on Zhou Yi's face. He had already seen the door being opened, Ororo, Qin Gray, and Luo Luo, who had just been taught a lesson by him. The roots are standing there.They were also listening to Zhouyi's lecture.
However, Zhou Yi did not stop, but continued to speak.
"Those workers will put the reason for their layoffs on you. Even without you, there will only be one vacant spot, but believe me, young man. All those who are laid off will think that you took their position. .Wouldn’t they be jealous of you?”
"You, strictly speaking, your group, your differences have become an excuse for many people, and they will blame you for their own failures. When this kind of jealousy forms prejudice, some people will take the lead and start targeting us. When people protest, think about what it will be like. Yes, it is like this now. Most of the parades and demonstrations you see on TV, those very terrible things, come from here. It’s different.”
"Don't look at the clamor of those politicians. Most of them have no impression of you at all. The reason why they shout so joyfully is mainly to win over the support of ordinary people at the bottom. That is their political achievement. And ordinary people People are the ones who create your current situation

main reason. "
"Please note, boys and girls. This is the main reason. There are always people who are paranoid because of hatred in the world. The tragedies caused by mutant abilities may have deeply hurt some people. They are against you purely because Hatred. These people are beyond the scope of what I am talking about.”
"Sir, if this is what you said is the reason why we are like this, then isn't there a solution. We don't want to be like this. These abilities are innate and we can't control them. If I could, I really don't want to live like this now. This kind of life." A girl stood up and said excitedly.Zhou Yi paid attention to the girl's appearance. He wrapped himself very tightly, still wearing a coat and gloves even when the heating was on indoors.Only a cute little face is revealed.However, this little face was full of sadness.
"Child, there is always a way. But I hope you will think about how to choose after listening to what I said."
The girl nodded seriously, and Zhou Yi could see that she really used her words as a beacon.This made him feel a little stressed. After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he continued his topic.
"Before this, I said. You have two problems. One is difference, the other is reputation.
.Now let's talk about this issue of reputation.I would like to ask, who is the most famous mutant that you know and have heard of?"
"I'll tell you my answer. It's Professor Charles and a gentleman called Magneto. I know them because I'm an arms dealer, and these two were once involved in the biggest war that could break out after World War II. The trigger. And who do you know?”
The students were noisy, but what they said was completely unconvincing.The most famous one among them is actually Xia Ruisi, which is just a joke.
Pressing his hand downward, Zhou Yi suppressed the voice from the student.Continue to explain.
"I believe you also know how unreliable your answer is. Yes, that's it. You yourself don't know who is famous in your tribe, and ordinary people don't know. And we know some people, but they don't will come out to represent you. This leads to a problem, which is that you have no spokesperson. The only person among you who can speak for you is a Mr. Hank McCoy. Believe me, except for some government personnel, most people Didn't even know he existed. Maybe thought of him as an actor in a stuffed toy coat."
"I didn't mean to insult Mr. Hank, I was just telling the truth. But I still want to say sorry to him, because I know the existence of this man, and he is a wise gentleman worthy of respect. And you, there are people Does anyone know you exist? Does anyone know the good or bad things you have done?"
"No one appears in public on your behalf, and no one protects your reputation. Do you know why some politicians use attacks on you as their political achievements? It's very simple. Because no one will cause trouble for them, ordinary people. No, we won't. And you yourself won't either. Your reputation has been trampled on, but you don't defend it. Some mutants even use extreme methods. Maybe you look relieved, but what is the actual effect? It just makes the ordinary people who pay attention here look down on you again, which is harmful to your reputation."
"Do you know why I am talking about this issue? Because there is a solution. Compared with ordinary people, you have the ability to protect your reputation."
"Just like Robert Downey Jr., he has been a drug addict for so many years. After successfully recovering from drugs, he was not re-accepted by the public with a Superman movie. In fact, you can do the same."
"You have the ability to do something to reverse your image problem and improve your reputation. Although your reputation is not good now, you can blame your predecessors for leaving you a mess. But It’s not out of control yet.”
"So, this is what we should do." It was Ororo who asked. If we talk about the future of mutants, she is definitely one of the most worried people.Without being in a mutant's environment, one cannot understand how difficult their situation is.
"The method is very simple, do it and use your abilities to help people. Reality proves that human beings are willing to accept those who can help them, just like that black guy flying around New York all day long, isn't he Do you rely on such means to accumulate the reputation of a hero bit by bit? You know, I recently participated in a fund-raising event for an orphanage, and what the children asked for the most was no longer candies and toys, but that guy's little doll. I think making me into a puppet might not be as popular as him. So, here’s the problem. He is a guy with super powers just like you, so why can’t you guys do what he can do?”
"You mean, you must be kidding when you ask us to be a superhero." Ororo had a look of disbelief on his face.But Zhou Yi was very serious.
"Why not? This is the multiple-choice question I give you. Do you want to be a mutant hiding among ordinary people, living a life of panic, trying every means to hide your differences? Or do you want to be a mutant with an extraordinary reputation? Superheroes, uphold justice, enjoy people’s cheers and defense, be proud of your differences, and even make ordinary people proud of your differences.”
"However, your abilities have an impact on the ordinary people who rely on them to make a living. And this is the root cause."
"Look, we are always just a minority. We need those ordinary people in large numbers to work for us, not you to work for us. If we need to choose, most of us will choose the position of those ordinary people instead of yours Position. As for why, it is very simple. Interests, the interests they create are greater than the interests you create. Therefore, the key to your problem is not us who are in power, but ordinary people."
"Human beings are a very narrow-minded race, and they have original sin. This is not what I said, this is what the Bible says. And one of the original sins is jealousy.
