Chapter 394: Global Competition

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Under the bombardment of round after round of publicity, everyone on Earth knew that a super marathon competition was about to be held.

This super marathon competition was different from the past; it required circling the Earth six times to be considered finished.

What is the concept of circling the Earth six times? The diameter between the North and South Poles of the Earth is 12,630,824 meters, and this is still theoretical. It does not consider terrain and other factors. In fact, this distance is much further.

And circling the Earth six times is simply unimaginable. But today, someone wanted to challenge this distance, and it was two people. They also planned to compete, which attracted a considerable number of spectators.

More than 668 media outlets worldwide participated in the live broadcast, covering 2.4 billion people, far more than any grand event like the Oscars or the Olympics.

Before the competition even started, the scene was already a sea of people. A casual glance was a sea of black heads, and a casual listen was the sound of noise.

Not only here, but also at major betting stations, the betting stations were also a sea of people.

The public waved their banknotes, squeezed into the queue, and shouted at the staff one after another to print the tickets quickly, so that they could watch the competition in front of the TV with peace of mind.

It must be said that this competition had already affected all the people on the entire Earth. It is said that 10 billion US dollars of cash flow into the betting stations every day, especially today, the cash flow is unprecedentedly large, and it is said that it has exceeded 100 billion, or even breaking 1 trillion is not impossible. This is no longer just a sports feast, but a gambling feast.

Unlike other gambling events, this event was absolutely fair, because no big shot could manipulate the competition between two superheroes. Invincible—this is the public's impression of superheroes. So they waved their banknotes with peace of mind.

"So many people." Mary said, holding Hancock's arm, while Aaron was riding on Hancock's neck.

"This is the charm of superheroes." Hancock said proudly.

"Then, between Dad and Superman, who is more powerful?" Aaron grabbed Hancock's hat and said loudly.

After half a month of emotional cultivation, Aaron had already accepted Hancock. So today, the family of three happily came to watch the excitement.

"Dad is not as fast as Superman, but Dad is stronger than Superman." Hancock flexed his muscles and said proudly.

"It is indeed a feast, so many people." Johnny and the other three of the Fantastic Four squeezed in together and were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them. Compared to this, his previous drag racing competition was simply a piece of cake.

"If I had known, I would have come to participate in the competition." Johnny was hit and listless.

"If you came to participate, you would definitely be thrown 108,000 miles away by The Flash and Superman, thrown out of six Earth circles." Susan slapped Johnny on the back of the head and said with disdain.

"Sister, am I that bad? At least I can fly." Johnny's body burst into flames, and he rushed up fiercely, like brilliant sparks, attracting bursts of exclamation from the crowd.

"Alright." Susan waved her hands, and an invisible wave pushed Johnny out, pushing him to the ground.

"Sister, don't do this, it's so embarrassing." Johnny climbed up from the ground, saw the snickering of the people around him, and immediately turned red-faced.

"Alright, alright."

"It's really interesting." Ye Nan sat in the box, looking down from above, taking everyone into his eyes.

"People are always full of curiosity, especially about things that are impossible to do. Circling the Earth six times—this was simply impossible in the past. Now that it is about to be realized, it naturally attracts people's curiosity."

"Coupled with the continuous publicity for half a month, the fueling of other gambling companies, and the shark-like noses of media reporters who smelled blood, it naturally produced such a great effect."

Lex looked at the flags and signs waving below to support their respective contestants and smiled lightly. "It's just that I don't know what expression they will have when they find out this is a conspiracy."

After Lex cooperated with Ye Nan, he appeared openly, because he had friends.

"They will be crazy, they will be angry, they will demand that Superman and The Flash uphold justice for them." The Flash Girl giggled, as if thinking of something fun.

"But I like toys." The Toyman's face was always expressionless.

"Let's go, it's almost time to start." Lex said and left his seat.

"I hope this competition will not have any accidents, otherwise, we will be in big trouble." Ye Nan said softly, intending to warn Lex. "All your actions should be placed after the competition."

This competition was no longer just his own business. He was one of the many directors of the Peak Pharmaceutical Company, and there were many big shots in the gambling industry and major news media. Once an accident occurred, those angry people would tear Ye Nan alive, although Ye Nan was not afraid of them.

"Of course, I won't do anything detrimental to us." Lex just paused and left.

"Lex, don't do anything that makes me have to take action." Ye Nan looked at Lex's departing back and murmured.

"Dad, do you want me to go catch him?" Ripley volunteered. She originally came out with her father to watch the excitement, but found that these people came to visit, and her good mood was ruined. She naturally did not have a good face for Lex and the others.

"No, the protagonists today are not us, but Lex and the others." Ye Nan picked up a glass of red wine placed on the table and took a light sip. "I have never understood what it feels like to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight. Today I finally know that the feeling of sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight is so good."

"Let's watch the competition." The Unicorn stuck out her pink tongue, licked a sip of red wine, and a hint of blush appeared on her fair face. Ever since she drank red wine, she had been obsessed with this feeling. The taste of red wine was too wonderful.

"Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to the scene of the global competition. I am your old friend, Best."

Best said excitedly under the attention of everyone. He was truly excited. Being able to host such a grand event was simply the most glorious medal for his hosting career.

He believed that in the future, when he introduced himself, he only needed to mention today's competition slightly, and he would receive the envious eyes of his peers.

"I am very happy to be able to host this grand event. First of all, I want to thank the organizer of this grand event, the Peak Pharmaceutical Company."

With the fall of this sentence, a burst of whistling sounded below, mixed with many curses, making a hint of embarrassment flash across Best's face. But soon, he gathered his embarrassment and continued to speak in a passionate way.

"I know everyone can't wait, so let's keep it short. The rules this time are to start from the competition scene, go to the South Pole, and then from the South Pole to the North Pole. There are a total of six laps. After six laps, you must return to the competition scene to decide the winner."

"Everyone knows that the speed of Superman and The Flash is faster than light, which violates physics. Ordinary cameras simply cannot capture this picture, so we used super cameras to shoot."

When mentioning the super cameras, the people below quieted down one after another, listening intently. They wanted to hear what kind of super camera it was, so awesome that it could capture light-speed movement.

"Could this be the latest super invincible light-speed camera?" Audience A put on a confused look.

"What is a super invincible light-speed camera?" Audience B was successfully hooked by Audience A's curiosity.

"The so-called super invincible light-speed camera is a camera that is still being tested in the laboratory. It can capture a speed of 160 million times the speed of light, and it is claimed that even the smallest particles can be captured." Audience A said with a boastful tone.

"Really, so powerful? How do you know?" Audience B's curiosity was transferred to Audience A's identity, wondering if Audience A was a legendary super scientist disguised as an ordinary person.

"The boyfriend of the person who sweeps the floor downstairs of the ex-boyfriend of the girlfriend of my third aunt's son works in the laboratory, and he told me all the news." Audience A said proudly.

"Hey, that's not right. Didn't you say last time that the boyfriend of the person who sweeps the floor downstairs of the ex-boyfriend of the girlfriend of your third aunt's son was sweeping the floor at the Space Agency?" Audience C interjected, exposing Audience A's words.

"He changed jobs, can't he?" Audience A said righteously.

The whispering of the audience below did not affect the host Best at all. Just seeing him pause when mentioning the super cameras, waiting for the wave of discussion below to almost subside, before continuing to speak.

"Of course, even with super cameras, it is impossible to capture light-speed movement, so we set up 66 walking points between the North and South Poles."

"Walking points, about 10 meters, using 10 cameras for dynamic monitoring. Please remember, you can only walk at the walking points, but you can open up your walking pace."

Best blinked mischievously, selling a cute look in front of billions of viewers around the world, and then was despised by all the viewers.

However, Best did not think he was despised. He only knew that he had successfully attracted the attention of global viewers, and he suddenly became happy.

"Below are our contestants."

"First, is our old acquaintance—Superman. Superman is the umbrella of our United States. He doesn't know how many bad guys he has caught. It is said that he is not an Earthling, but an alien friend from outer space, a very friendly kind."

"He is infinitely powerful, with strong bones, and a pair of eyes that can shoot impact rays with a temperature of up to 6100°C."

"His fists can exert a force of 3 million tons."

When Best read the force of 3 million tons, he was stunned himself. "3 million tons, gentlemen and ladies, what is the concept of 3 million tons."

"What concept?" Everyone was hooked by Best's words. They calculated carefully and found that they couldn't calculate what the concept of 3 million tons was. They only knew it was very, very heavy.

"I don't know either." Best opened his eyes wide and played a cute trick on the audience. "But, what we are concerned about is not this. Although Superman has other super powerful abilities, but..."

"Say it, say it."

The shouts below were higher than one another. Obviously, gossip is the most primitive instinct at the bottom of the human heart, especially Superman's abilities, which hooked many people's curiosity.

"Okay, I will reveal Superman's measurements and gossip." Best blinked his eyes, the more he sold cute, the better he felt about himself.

"We want abilities."

The audience below said in unison.

Superman is not a beauty, so what do you want his measurements for? The audience cares about Superman's abilities. You know, Superman is the protector of the people of the world. Knowing the power of their protector is obviously a very interesting thing.

"Okay, I will reluctantly reveal his abilities." Best made a difficult look. He raised his hand, aimed at the data card, and said: "Superman, can throw an ocean-going giant ship."

"Microscopic vision: can see fingerprints."

"Speed: Everyone knows, faster than light."

"Breathing: Superman does not need to breathe and can live freely in space."

"X-ray vision: He can see through most objects."

"Super hearing: hear any subtle sounds."

"Super ventriloquism: can talk to anyone in any corner of the Earth without being discovered by others. This is a very good way to whisper. I believe that when taking exams, you will definitely not be caught by the teacher."

Best joked: "Of course, all the data comes from what Superman has demonstrated. For specific abilities, you need to ask him yourself. So Superman, where is Superman?"

Best shouted loudly, pointing his finger at the sky. "Do you want to see Superman?"

"Yes."

The emotions of the audience below were stirred up, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"Then, where is he?" Best shouted loudly, his finger still in the sky. "The legendary flying Superman, he is right above. Dang dang dang dang dang."

The background rhythm matched, and suddenly, all eyes shifted to the newly appeared Superman. Just seeing Superman crossing his arms, floating in the air, with a serious look.

"Below, is our Flash." Best turned his hand and turned to The Flash who had just arrived. "Do you want to hear The Flash's data?"

"No."

"Start quickly."

"Start with speed."

Compared to Superman, who is often reported by newspapers, The Flash's fame is undoubtedly much smaller. Except for a small number of people who know The Flash, most have only heard of him, and their knowledge of his deeds is also half-understood. Of course, this has to thank this feast, otherwise many people would not know who The Flash is.

"It seems that The Flash's popularity is not high." Best wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said: "Then let's start."

"Let's go." Best just made a running motion, and the two people on the scene disappeared in front of everyone, leaving behind the embarrassed host Best.

"Okay, they are gone, let's not go." ===== CHAPTER 395 =====
