Time is a bastard.
It often vents when people are not paying attention, and when Mike is not ready, the lives of several children enter the next stage one by one.
Elementary school, high school, college
Several children then have become adults.
Clark graduated from college and spent a month at home with Mike before embarking on a wandering journey.
His student career was over, which instead left him in a state of confusion. He didnt know what he should do next or what he came to this planet for, so he set out on a journey to find himself and his future.
Mike knew some things about Clark, like where Clark came from, like Krypton, like the ship at the South Pole
But after hesitation, he still did not tell Clark directly.
Clark wanted not just the answers to these questions, but the process of growing after going through the search to become less confused and doubtful of himself.
The process is much more important than the answers.
Moreover, if Mike had told Clark now, Clark would have gone straight to the South Pole and searched for that Kryptonian ship.
If the Kryptonian ship is activated, will it attract Kryptonians, as in the original episode?
What would happen then?
With Clarks current state of mind, simply not ready to meet all this.
So, Mike gave up.
Following Clarks footsteps, Eric and Charles also graduated, and even after staying in school for more than a year, the two received PhDs, and more than one.
In a flash, it was the early winter of 2007.
The early winter already made people feel cold.
Mike got up, took out his cell phone and looked at the date, revealing a smile.
Tomorrow, Eric and Charles, the two children will return, as for Clark, the years of wandering outside, has kept in touch, in the middle also came back twice, each time at home will live a month, but the return date is uncertain.
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 sun fell on him and made him feel comfortable.
As the children grew and gained one achievement after another, Mikes abilities grew as well.
It was in Clarks second year of college when his ability finally upgraded to LV4.
If he got epic-level enhancements when he got to LV3, what Mike got when he got to LV4 was legendary-level enhancements.
With a thought, Mike opened the system.
Host: Mike Kent.
Newbie gift: Assassin time.
Ability: Memory fantasy embodiment.
Upgrade rewards.
1Eternal cigarette case.
2Dimensional pocket.
3Kryptonian bloodline.
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 rose to lv2 level, Mike got a permanent item Eternal Cigarette Case and could manifest skills, when he rose to LV3 level, Mike got a permanent skill Sublime Pocket and could manifest a characters ability in full, and when he rose to LV4 level, Mike got a permanent ability Kryptonian bloodline.
Yes, Kryptonian blood, not need to embodiment, but permanent possession, just need to sunlight, will continue to enhance the bloodline.
What is strange to Mike is that what he expected to get was a persons permanent ability, but what he got was a bloodline.
However, the bloodlines and abilities of the Kryptonians are no different to him, even their bloodlines are much better than their ability, because bloodlines can grow.
The sun, the power will be enhanced, and Mike also experienced the thrill of hanging to upgrade.
And after upgrading to LV4, his embodiment ability did not further improve.
The total amount of embodied power in his body has increased dramatically, and even after reaching LV4, his embodied power will increase a lot for every 1% increase in upgrade progress.
From the items at the beginning, to the skills, to the abilities, and now the ever-increasing embodied power, when all of this was put together, it gave Mike a strange feeling.
It was as if he had gotten all of this before, like he was preparing for the abilities that would come afterwards.
As for what abilities will appear after that, we will only know when we upgrade.
But as far as the upgrade progress now
Hey!
Mike thinks its better to get more sunshine by himself.
Sunbathing is very comfortable, Mike yawned and surprisingly slowly fell asleep.
With Kryptonian blood, Mike is getting stronger every day, and even age seems to have stopped growing. In addition to the white spots on the temples, the wrinkles that had appeared quietly disappeared cleanly.
Mike thought to himself that if he didnt say so himself, he was simply no different from a young man.
Hmm?
Mike was awakened by the sound of the door opening.
A thief?
Isnt it, his lonely old father is patronized by thieves?
Instead of using his powers to see, Mike got up and walked over.
The fact that he had Kryptonian blood was unknown to anyone, and he didnt use it much in his normal life, keeping it well hidden.
Thinking about the pain he had gone through when he had awakened his powers, he understood how strong and how difficult it had been for Clark, who was still young at the time.
Dad!
Dad!
Looking at the two handsome young men standing at the door, Mike was stunned, and then a smile bloomed on his face, surprised: Why are you back? Arent you guys coming back tomorrow?
He said while walking over.
Eric gave Mike a hug and explained with a smile, I finished my report today and rushed back.
Haha, dad, I want to eat the food you made! Charles put down his luggage with a look of anticipation, but then looked at Mike carefully, he said strangely: Dad, why do you look young again?
Reaching out and cupping Mikes face, he muttered, Strange, where are the wrinkles? You didnt sneak off to get a facelift, did you?
Slap!
Slapped Charles hand away, and Mike said silently, Its still so young.
Charles laughed, grabbed Mikes shoulder and said, We are father and son.
Haha!
Mike laughed and said, What do you want to eat, Ill make it for you.
Dumplings.
The two men had already discussed it.
Young meaning.
Mike said and walked into the kitchen.
The two washed their hands, put the luggage away, also went into the kitchen, while helping, they were talking to Mike about some interesting things they encountered, father and son from time to time, the three laughed out loud.
For a while, the home, which originally seemed cold, slowly regained its vitality.
Father and son were very fast, and at twelve oclock, the hot dumplings were ready.
Father and son sat in the living room, one person a plate of dumplings, with the white wine Mike brought out, with Mikes mix of small dishes, watching the TV..
Hey, its beautiful.
