Become the ultimate creature from the black robe

Chapter 376 New issue! Mutant special topic!

"Don't worry, the funds are sufficient. If 10 million is not enough, 20 million will be enough. I have only one request for you, and that is to only succeed and not to fail." Xia Shang's eyes swept over the researchers' faces one by one.

"During this period, each of you will have overtime pay and bonuses, but I will only give you a three-month period. When the time is up, all of you will have to be fired and bear my wrath."

"Promise to complete the mission." Dr. Alek said in a difficult tone.

"Develop the temporary No. 5 compound first. As for the No. 5 compound, you can put it aside later."

Before leaving Black Robe, Xia Shang had already obtained the complete No. 5 compound and the formula for the temporary No. 5 compound from Edgar. Logically speaking, with the complete formula, it should not be difficult to develop the temporary No. 5 compound.

"Okay, Mr. Jervis."

Dr. Alek bit the bullet and promised to give results within three months.

"I believe you can do it, don't let me down."

Time soon came to May 1974, more than two months had passed since Xia Shang took over Weiss Newspaper.

In addition, he has also invested in many newspapers. So far, he owns at least thirty newspapers, especially the "Washington Post", whose influence is not inferior to that of Time Magazine.

Because Xia Shang is not the only one who has recently acquired a newspaper, there is also the famous financial tycoon, Warren Buffett. Not long ago, this guy spent US$1060 million to buy the "Washington Post" at the bottom, becoming the only one besides the Graham family. The second largest shareholder.

"How about forget it, Mr. Jervis, since the mutants killed Dr. Truss in public, the public's attitude towards mutants has reached rock bottom, and I'm worried..." Camille raised her hand, Pointing to the ceiling, "It will cause suppression from above, so you'd better think about it again."

Compared with the Washington Post, the Weiss Daily News can only be regarded as in its infancy.

"Mr. Jervis, are you sure you want to start a new issue, and one about mutants?"

In the president's office, the skinny Kamil had an expression more bitter than a bitter gourd. Everyone knows that mutants are a taboo topic nowadays and cannot even be touched. If Weiss Daily announces to the outside world that it will open a new window with mutants, The relevant new publications will probably be drowned in saliva by the angry people.

"Oh my God!" Camille lowered his head, looked at the content on the manuscript, and couldn't help but exclaimed. His open mouth seemed to be able to hold an egg.

During this period, Weiss Newspapers annexed seven small newspapers and two medium-sized newspapers. Its influence in Washington soared. The number of newspaper subscriptions exceeded one million, making it a star newspaper that attracted much attention.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xia Shang smiled lightly, took out a manuscript from the drawer, and handed it to Camille: "Aren't you curious about what happened among mutants to cause this? They attacked President John F. Kennedy and publicly killed Dr. Truss, who proposed the [Sentinel Project]."

"Sebastian Xiao, codenamed Black Emperor, has the ability to absorb all forms of energy and finally convert it into his own energy.

For a time, the outside world spread wild rumors that there was an unknown but very wealthy mysterious financial backer behind Weiss Newspaper, who was probably a chaebol from Wall Street.

It is one of the most well-known newspapers in the United States.

During World War II, he was a scientist in Nazion under the pseudonym Klaus Schmidt. He discovered the young Magneto in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Later, in order to develop Magneto's abilities, he shot Magneto's mother. , in addition to trying to detonate the Cuban Missile Crisis with the intention of provoking World War III. "

Camille actually felt that the manuscript in her hand was heavier than steel. This was definitely a secret among secrets.

His throat was a little dry, but he still suppressed his excitement and continued reading. "Eric Lensheer, codenamed Magneto, has the ability to manipulate metal, and used this ability to kill the Black Emperor, successfully preventing World War III from happening. Oh my God, if this were published in a newspaper, Our newspaper will definitely be snapped up like crazy." Camille's hand holding the manuscript was shaking.

"People are usually afraid of unknown things, and fear breeds curiosity." Xia Shang smiled and said softly.

"The Washington Post is nothing. With these things, our Weiss Daily News will have to surpass him sooner or later."

The manuscript not only records the identity information of the two people, but also what they did at that time. Although the process is not so detailed, it is enough to satisfy the public's appetite.

"In the second new issue, there will be a heavyweight figure who played a decisive role in the Cuban crisis."

"Who is it?" Camille asked impatiently.

"This is the effect I want."

Xia Shang pretended to be mysterious and smiled but said nothing.

"So what is the name of our new magazine? How often will it be published?" Camille has realized that Weiss Newspaper will definitely become an instant hit with this new magazine. Even if it is blocked by the government, it must be published.

There is no doubt that once the new magazine is released, it will immediately trigger a new round of public opinion storm. By then, even the government may not be able to withstand the surging public opinion.

"It's called Mutant Weekly, published once a week."

After working at Vought for so long, Xia Shang is already familiar with how to guide public opinion, so the first thing to do now is not to create mutant heroes, but to increase the influence of Weiss Newspaper, at least to become like the Washington Post. , becoming the most famous newspaper in the United States.

"I will go to the editorial department immediately and ask them all to devote all their energy to the creation of the new issue, and strive to publish the first issue of Mutant Weekly in the shortest possible time."

Camille turned around and walked out of the office without a moment's hesitation.

"It's time to start the god-making plan." Xia Shang looked at Camille's hurried away figure and murmured softly.

…………

"Robbery!" Several masked robbers rushed into a bank in Washington, armed with submachine guns and fired at the ceiling.

The piercing sound of gunfire scared everyone and crouched down and held their heads. The customer who was withdrawing money saw this and pushed the banknotes he had just taken out into the counter. "Deposit money, put the money in for me quickly."

The man looked horrified and turned to look at the intruding robbers.

Unfortunately, both the salesman and the security guard at the door were frightened by the sudden intrusion of the robbers.

"Put all the money in it!" One of the robbers shot the man to death, then took out a black cloth bag, stuffed it into the counter window, pointed the gun at the female salesperson's head, and threatened: "Move quickly Click, or I'll shoot you in the head!"

"Wait a minute - wait a minute." The female salesperson hurriedly stuffed the banknotes into the bag, her voice trembling.
