《Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics》Chapter 60: Heading to New York
Advertisement
”… When did you get a pet?”
Early the next morning, Barbara knocked on the door of Mathison’s house and …
She saw a pure white dog standing on two feet leaping towards her, as the gentleman bowed to her.
It is pure white, but its nose and end of the tail are black. What is more attractive is that the dog’s left eye is surrounded by a dark circle.
It can be seen that the owner of this dog completely treats it as a relative, the reason is that the dog was wearing a small blue suit on, and a red bow tied around its neck.
Although it is completely impossible to know by sight what breed the dog is, it looked so cute.
A drop of cold sweat flowed down the back of the neck of Mathison, dryly smiling: “Charlie is my teacher’s pet, because… During this time, he was traveling abroad and it was inconvenient for him to take care of him, so he put him here.”
”Charlie? Is that the name of this dog?”
Barbara curiously patted Charlie’s head, and then Charlie licked her hand in response.
”Yes, in fact, his full name is Charlie IX …”
The reward for Mathison’s Black and White Duel achievement is no other than the dog in front of him!
Charlie IX: from the world of “Charlie IX”, although a dog, but has an IQ beyond that of ordinary humans, a fairly long life, extremely noble bloodline, it is the world’s unique canine nobility!
And under the system’s transformation, Charlie IX has all of its original adventure experience, but diluted its original master’s bond, only to be directly bonded to Mathison’s.
As for what use this thing is for Mathison…
Well… It should be useful, right?
If you think about it, Kaito Kuroba has Konosuke Jii, Batman has his Butler Alfred, Iron Man has Jarvis, and Lupin III has two partners …
Mathison’s partner is a dog?
Mathison has a book on the manufacture of small technological props from the world of Conan, so Charlie IX’s neck is actually Conan’s bow-tie voice changer. He did a lot of modifications to enable it to calibrate the sound waves of canines and then transformed them into human voices.

As for how he designed the basic conversion of barking dogs and human voices, it depends on the help of Charlie IX.
He barked while using his dog paws to point out what he wanted to say in the English dictionary, and then it took him a whole day to barely finish designing the everyday words.
Trying to set up all the English words will take years.
«However, the fact that Charlie can speak cannot be known to any outsiders in any way, not even to Barbara.»
Mathison thought so and motioned to Charles IX with his eyes.
Charlie IX instantly understood and gave him back a reassuring look.
”It always feels like Charlie’s eyes are as soulful as a human’s, even though it’s a dog.”
Barbara covered her mouth and laughed lightly.
”Forget about Charlie for now, why did you come so early in the morning, is there something wrong?”
Mathison picked up Charlie IX as soon as he could and put him away from Barbara.
”I knew it when I heard you say that, you must have forgotten the schedule again …”
Barbara held her forehead and shook her head, “Today we have to decide on the exchange students to New York.”
Mathison realized instantly that such a thing exists.
”Oh, my! I only remembered as you told me now. But what does an exchange students program have to do with me? It’s not like I want to go to New York.”
Daisy is now following Jane on her expedition in New Mexico, and maybe a hammer will fall from the sky one day. It could even be that Thor’s storyline has already started.
This also means that the battle of New York is close at hand!
The exchange student period is as short as one month and as long as a year. The possibility that the Chitauri invasion will happen soon is not generally big.
He didn’t even think about going to New York this year or even next year. At least before the New York war ends.

”Why are you always so absent-minded? What’s wrong with New York?”
Barbara crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, displeased with Mathison’s words.
”There are only two exchange student slots left, and I can’t possibly win one of them.”
Mathison tried to make a last-ditch effort.
”How do you know if you don’t try? And I heard that the exchange student who goes to New York this time will also be qualified to participate in the Stark Group internship program for a week.”
”I’m not interested in new energy or computers or anything, none of Stark Group’s major projects seduce me. Even if I go, I will only bring embarrassment to the school.”
”I heard that Stark Industries has built a new Stark Tower. It does not only surpass the Empire State Building’s length-wise, but also the tallest building in New York. Don’t you want to see it?”
”No.”
Barbara’s idol is indeed Batman, but she also targets Stark. Even if Tony’s early lifestyle is disgraceful, he is very skilful.
As a computer genius, the only way to master the field of artificial intelligence is to be considered a true hard worker. And the sole development of Jarvis, the most advanced artificial intelligence on Earth, Stark deservedly reached the summit of the modern computer science community.
So, once she heard that she could go to the Stark Industries internship, Barbara became unusually interested.
But Mathison really does not want to go to New York.
”If I go to New York with you, then what about Charlie, who will take care of it?”
Mathison said as soon as he pointed to Charlie IX.
”Then take Charlie there, or let my father take care of it.”
Barbara insisted that Mathison accompanies her.
”Why on earth do you want me to go? What’s wrong with going on by yourself?”
Mathison subconsciously uttered these words…
As soon as he finished talking, Barbara’s face turned gloomy, she slammed the door and got out.
”Okay then, I’ll leave you alone!”
———-
In the end, Mathison still followed Barbara to school.
Barbara was determined to go to New York, but Mathison isn’t sure whether the battle of New York will happen in the next year or not, so he had to follow along.
He thought about it: Stark is in New York and there are probably many things worth his action there.
Certain things can not be avoided. The Chitauri army is not a big deal, Thanos is the real danger since he is the one behind all these events.
Mathison’s current strength is not that bad. And it should no longer be a problem for him to target some extraordinary items. After all, ordinary gems, even if held precious, won’t be highly evaluated by the system.
In other words, which secret base of S.H.I.E.L.D. is hiding the space gem now?
It was stealing the Infinity Stones that he was excited to think about!
It shouldn’t be hard of a task to steal the space gem and the battle of New York is basically difficult to escape…
Thinking about it this way, there is nothing out of expectations that could arise in New York.
It is definitely not for the superficial reason of worrying about Barbara’s safety!
”The two annual exchange candidates between Gotham University and New York University have now been elected: It is Barbara Gordon and Mathison Fang!”
The principal of Gotham University announced the results of the campaign at the election meeting for the exchange student slots.
”Starting from next month, the second half of your studies this year will be continued at NYU.”
The principal awarded the qualification certificates of exchange students to Mathison and Barbara, explaining many precautions with a kind face.
