Since he had decided to lie low for a while, Lin Feng planned to stay on Earth for the time being.
The Thanos crisis and the Ultron crisis had already been resolved by Lin Feng in advance, and the Civil War between the Avengers had not occurred.
Therefore, Earth was much more stable now compared to its depiction in the movies.
However, as a result of resolving these events, Lin Feng had spent most of his time in space, which had caused the buzz surrounding him on Earth to gradually fade.
And now, Tony also seemed to be intentionally withdrawing from the public eye.
Current news reports and superhero videos were primarily focused on the mysterious good neighbor, Spider-Man.
From combating criminal organizations to rescuing cats from high towers, his presence was everywhere.
It was precisely these acts of kindness that earned him the moniker "friendly neighborhood."
Lin Feng watched the news reports about Spider-Man on television while leisurely sipping his coffee.
It was the weekend, and the two young girls, Martina and Ling Jili, were not in school. They were playing happily in the yard with two black cats.
Susan and Wanda also had no work today, sitting quietly beside Lin Feng, browsing forums.
This scene gave Lin Feng a feeling of having prematurely entered his twilight years.
"Neon has abandoned its wastewater discharge plan," Susan said, pointing to a news report on her laptop to show Lin Feng.
"It seems they reached some kind of cooperation with Stark Industries? Either way, it's off."
"Looks like seafood can still be eaten with peace of mind."
Susan happily browsed the related reports.
This was undoubtedly good news for her, as she had thought she would have to bid farewell to seafood permanently a while ago.
Lin Feng nodded dismissively.
He could guess the general situation; Tony's arc particle technology was likely nearing maturity.
For the sake of his daughter Morgan, Tony had probably already spoken with Neon.
He wondered what the zombie universe had become during his absence.
"Speaking of which, is it true that Spider-Man will be interviewed today?" Susan suddenly recalled what Lin Feng had told her yesterday.
Susan's forum for superhero-themed content was still active. Although its popularity had waned, it held extraordinary significance for the residents of New York City and even for people worldwide.
All the latest information and data on superheroes were more comprehensive on her forum than on any major broadcasting station.
However, nowadays, superheroes like Captain America couldn't compete with Superman and Iron Man in terms of visual impact or the speed of problem-solving.
Furthermore, for various reasons, Nick Fury was reluctant to expose Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye too much to the public.
These factors combined had a significant impact on the forum's traffic and an even greater impact on major broadcasting stations.
Logically speaking, with Lin Feng's current assets, Susan wouldn't need to look for any work.
But Susan felt she was still young and that retiring so early would leave a void in her life.
Therefore, Lin Feng didn't prevent her from taking on some work.
Moreover, Susan's current workplace was an industry under Stark, so she had nothing to fear about being bullied.
Susan's question made Lin Feng roll his eyes.
"I thought you had forgotten."
The matter of Spider-Man being interviewed was not Lin Feng's idea.
It was Teacher Tony's brainchild.
As mentioned earlier, Tony intended to slowly withdraw from public view and embark on his cosmic journey. Thus, Spider-Man was his successor.
But as of now, no major catastrophes had occurred on Earth, so Spider-Man's standing in the public eye was insufficient.
And even with Tony's prior arrangements, Spider-Man was still the lowest in seniority within the Avengers.
Although he could exist independently of the Avengers, Spider-Man currently lacked the abilities of Iron Man or Superman to resolve most problems.
Furthermore, with Tony himself leaving, he also intended for Spider-Man to learn more within the Avengers.
Thus, Tony came up with this plan.
This interview was purely to build momentum for Spider-Man, to let people know that they could trust this young spider.
After all, Iron Man and Superman were behind him.
This reminded Lin Feng of the scene in the movie where Tony, during a press conference, tried to introduce Spider-Man, and Spider-Man refused.
Lin Feng raised his wrist to check his watch and replied, "In an hour, Tony will bring Peter Parker over."
"I wonder, dear reporter, are you ready with your interview questions?"
"Who is Peter Parker?" Susan asked in confusion, not answering his question.
"Well... he's Spider-Man. His name is Peter Parker, but you absolutely cannot put that in the interview!"
Susan shot him a disdainful look.
"Do I look that stupid!"
Lin Feng sneered, "Oh yes, yes, you're a very smart young reporter. You still haven't answered my question. Is your interview script ready?"
Susan nodded and brought up a document from her laptop.
"Would you like to take a look? I'm worried some of the questions might be inappropriate."
"For example, this one, will it annoy that... Peter Parker?"
Lin Feng casually glanced over it, his eyes scanning rapidly. Indeed, some questions were rather sensitive.
But these types of questions generally generated a lot of buzz and were beneficial for Spider-Man.
"Don't worry, Peter Parker is more easygoing than you imagine."
"Alright, alright. I haven't done an interview in a long time. I need to review it." Susan took her laptop and went into her room.
Lin Feng pouted listlessly.
Actually, he felt this interview was completely unnecessary.
Having both Superman and Iron Man endorse a superhero would thrust Spider-Man into the limelight.
Some of Iron Man's old enemies would also come knocking.
They couldn't defeat Iron Man, but couldn't they go after Spider-Man?
You're the designated successor? I'll kill you tomorrow!
Moreover, when Lin Feng first debuted, he also had enemies. His many actions had disrupted the plans of some organizations.
However, due to Superman's abilities, they dared not act rashly.
It was foreseeable that after this interview, the residents of New York City would place unprecedented expectations and confidence in Spider-Man.
And it would also attract dangers lurking in the shadows.
One could imagine the immense pressure.
Perhaps with one misstep, one mistake, he could lose public favor, or even his life.
This gamble was too great.
But after Tony said a sentence, Lin Feng stopped trying to dissuade him.
According to Tony, this was his last and greatest test for Spider-Man.
What else could Lin Feng say? Let's go for it, we have the capital for it!
However, they would not directly intervene to help Spider-Man until a life-or-death situation arose.
Otherwise, it would defeat the original purpose of training Spider-Man.
