Time is a bastard.
When people are not paying attention, it often leaks out so fast that even Mike is not prepared, and the lives of several children enter the next stage one after another.
Elementary school, middle school, university...
Several children have become adults.
After Clark graduated from college, he stayed with Mike at home for a month and then embarked on a wandering journey.
His student career was over, which made him confused. He didn't know what he should do next, nor did he know the purpose of coming to this planet. So, he embarked on the road of finding himself and the future.
Mike knows some things about Clark, such as Clark's origin, Krypton, and the Antarctic spacecraft...
But after hesitating, he still didn't tell Clark directly.
What Clark wants is not just the answers to these questions, but the process of searching so that he can no longer be confused and doubt himself, and gain growth.
The process is much more important than the answer.
Moreover, if Mike told Clark now, Clark would go directly to the South Pole to find the Kryptonian ship.
If the Kryptonian spaceship is activated, will it attract Kryptonians like in the original plot?
What will happen then?
With Clark's current state of mind, he was not prepared to face all this at all.
So, Mike gave up.
Following in Clark's footsteps, Eric and Charles also graduated. Even after staying in school for more than a year, the two of them received doctorates, and more than one.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the early winter of 2007.
In early winter, people are already feeling chilly.
Mike got up, took out his phone, looked at the date, and smiled.
Tomorrow? The two children Eric and Charles will come back? As for Clark, during the years of wandering, they have kept in touch? They also came back twice in the middle? They stayed at home for a month each time? But the return date indefinite.
After walking into the kitchen, Mike made himself a simple breakfast, watched the news for a while, and sat by the window with a cup of coffee. The early winter sunshine fell on him, making him feel comfortable.
As the children grow up and achieve one achievement after another, Mike's abilities also continue to grow.
It was Clark's second year in college, and his abilities finally upgraded to level 4.
What if he gets epic-level enhancements when he reaches LV3? And when he reaches LV4, what Mike gets is legendary-level enhancements.
Got a thought? Mike turned on the system.
Host: Mike Kent.
Newbie gift: Assassin time.
Ability: Embodiment of memory fantasy.
Upgrade rewards:
1. Eternal cigarette case.
2. Dimensional pocket.
3. Kryptonian blood.
Current ability level: LV4.
Current upgrade progress: 42%.
Son: Clark Kent (Kryptonian).
Son: Eric Kent (mutant? Awakened).
Son: Charles Kent (mutant? Awakened).
When his ability reaches level LV2, Mike gets a permanent item - the eternal cigarette box, and can manifest skills. When he reaches level LV3, Mike gets a permanent skill - dimensional pocket? And it can fully embody a character's abilities. When he reaches LV4, Mike gains a permanent ability - Kryptonian blood.
Yes, the Kryptonian bloodline does not need to be embodied, but is a bloodline that is permanently possessed and will continue to strengthen as long as it is exposed to the sun.
What makes Mike strange is that he thought that what he got would be a person's permanent ability, but what he got was blood.
However, the bloodline and abilities of Kryptonians are no different to him. In fact, bloodline is much better than ability, because bloodline can grow.
After basking in the sun, your strength will increase, and Mike also experienced the refreshing feeling of hanging up and upgrading.
After upgrading to LV4, his ability to manifest did not improve further. Instead, the total amount of the power of embodiment in his body was greatly increased. Even after reaching LV4, the upgrade progress increased every time. 1%, his power of manifestation will be greatly improved.
From the items at the beginning, to skills, to abilities, and now the ever-increasing power of embodiment, when everything is put together, it gives Mike a strange feeling.
It was as if what he had obtained before was preparing for his future abilities.
As for what abilities will appear in the future, we can only know after upgrading.
But judging from the current upgrade progress...
Hey!
Mike thought it would be better to get some sunshine by himself.
It was very comfortable to bask in the sun. Mike yawned and fell asleep slowly.
After having Kryptonian blood, Mike is getting stronger every day, and even his age seems to have stopped growing. In addition to the graying of his temples, the wrinkles that appeared quietly before have also completely disappeared.
Mike thought that if he didn't say it himself, he would be no different from a young man.
"Um?"
Mike was awakened by the sound of the door opening.
Thief?
Isn't it right? An old father like him who lives alone is visited by thieves?
Mike didn't use his ability to look, but got up and walked over.
No one knows that he has Kryptonian blood. In daily life, he doesn't use it much and has always hidden it well.
Thinking of the pain he went through when he first awakened his abilities, he understood how strong Clark was when he was still young, and how difficult it was.
"dad!"
"Dad!"
Looking at the two handsome young men standing at the door, Mike was startled for a moment, then a smile broke out on his face, and he said in surprise: "Why are you back? Aren't you just coming back tomorrow?"
He said as he walked over.
Eric hugged Mike and explained with a smile: "Jin Tian rushed back after finishing his report."
"Haha, Dad, I want to eat your cooking!" Charles put down his luggage with a look of anticipation on his face, but then looked at Mike carefully and said strangely: "Dad, why do you look young again?"
He stretched out his hand to pinch Mike's face and muttered: "It's weird, where are the wrinkles? Didn't you secretly go for a facelift?"
"Snapped!"
Slapping Charles' hand away, Mike said speechlessly: "Still so insignificant."
Charles smiled, put his arm around Mike's shoulders, and said, "Which one of us, father and son, is following the other?"
"Ha ha!"
Mike laughed and said, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
"dumpling."
The two of them had already discussed this.
"It's a small thing."
Mike said and walked into the kitchen.
The two washed their hands, put away their luggage, and went into the kitchen. While helping, they talked to Mike about some interesting things they encountered. The father and son laughed out loud from time to time.
For a time, the home that originally seemed cold and cold slowly regained its vitality.
The father and son were very fast, and at twelve o'clock, the hot dumplings were out of the pot.
The father and son were sitting in the living room, each with a plate of dumplings, the white wine Mike brought out, and the side dishes Mike prepared, watching TV...
Tsk, that’s great.
