Chapter 61 God Bless America

"Godfather, the story you told me before."

Clark blinked and said, “You said that if laboratory rats and monkeys are given the illusion of choice, they can usually survive healthily, even if their choices are limited to two: a mild electric shock or a severe electric shock.”

"But at least they can feel the difference in the outcome, so they are happy and their lives become more enjoyable, whereas if these mice and monkeys are not given a choice and are just constantly receiving electric shocks, they will become more and more anxious.

Clark exhaled, "I know, Godfather, you want to tell me that if we have no choices in life, it will be a mess."

Peter was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.

He hadn't expected Clark to have such philosophical thoughts.

It seems that this kid has gained a lot of insights from reading Nietzsche.

"It's a difficult choice, Clark, but..."

Peter organized his words. "No matter what, as long as it is your own choice, there is no right or wrong and no regrets. The you of the past will not satisfy the you of the present, and the you of the present will not satisfy the you of the future. Just follow your own heart, Clark."

Clark nodded when he heard this. He probably understood what the Godfather meant.

Gazing at the dark night outside, he confided his inner thoughts to Peter, "Actually, Godfather, I wanted to be an ordinary child at first. When my super hearing first appeared, I thought I was sick until I heard the voice of the neighbor's child next door."

"Being a normal boy, with bruised knees, a wheezing cough, just like everyone else."

Clark rarely showed his weakness. "Dad said that I must have my own mission to bring different changes to this world. Godfather, can I really do it? I'm afraid that I will make the wrong choice and disappoint you."

"You will bring a difference to the world, Clark, but don't put pressure on yourself. You don't owe it to anyone."

Peter comforted the confused Clark: "No matter what choice you make, it will not affect your future."

Clark stared into Peter's eyes with burning eyes and asked unconfidently, "Really? Godfather."

"Of course, the Godfather never told a lie."

Peter patted Clark's shoulder gently, "Godfather and your parents will never be disappointed in you."

"Thank you."

The next day, early in the morning.

In the school corridor, Clark thanked Azu.

A-Zu just helped him fend off Whitney Fordham's harassment.

Whitney is the leader of the kids at Smallwell Elementary School and has been causing trouble for Clark lately.

At first, Clark missed the school bus, and Whitney made faces at him and taunted him in the bus. Unexpectedly, when the school bus arrived at the school, Clark was already strolling on the sidewalk, which made Whitney angry and embarrassed.

Then came the school bus incident, and rumors began to spread around the school that Clark and Zu had superpowers.

Whitney brought his lackeys to find Clark to prove that he had no special abilities.

"You're welcome."

Zu put his schoolbag into the locker and said to Clark:
"'I want to thank you', this is the most insignificant thing we can give to others. If you really want to thank me, Clark, you can help me mow the lawn on the farm. Of course, I will give you half of Dad's reward."

At this time, A Zu turned into a black-hearted capitalist, "Now Mr. Jones wants to train my flying ability, and I don't have time to earn pocket money."

Last night, Zu followed the Martian Hunter and fully experienced the thrill of flying, but when he thought that he would not have time to earn pocket money in the future, his mood became bad.

"can."

Clark nodded and agreed to Zu's request.

He had plenty of time anyway. "Thanks, Clark, you—my brother, you are a true hero."

Azu pointed at Clark and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"that."

A Zu asked Clark in a cheerful mood, "So you didn't fight with Whitney before?"

Clark shook his head. "No, he pushed me down, but I didn't do anything."

"You should have punched him in the face."

Zu felt that Clark was being a little weak, "Dad said, don't be afraid when dealing with this kind of person."

"I know, I'm not afraid."

Clark said he was not afraid of him, "He brought his followers with him to prove one thing, that is, I am not an ordinary person. If I really took action, I would fall into his trap."

"That will lead to even greater trouble."

Clark locked the locker door, "I won't be irritated by their shoddy methods."

"Maybe there is another way."

A-Zu's eyes narrowed, "I'll go take care of that guy."

Clark immediately stopped him, "No, John, the Godfather won't let us get into trouble."

"This is not a problem. We are good kids, and what we are doing now is just."

A Zu said confidently: "I believe that my father also supports me."

"But, John"

"Okay, leave it to me. The most I can do is give him two more panda eyes. Don't worry."

Azu waved to Clark and walked towards the classroom.

Clark let out a sigh of resignation and followed Zu's steps.

It seems that I have to tell this to my Godfather.

Clark started to think about "snitching" again.

The TV in the classroom was playing current news.

"According to the fire notice issued by the Kansas Forestry and Fire Department, a wildfire called 'Carr' broke out and spread from the forest in McPherson City. Strong winds caused the fire to gradually spread westward and swept through McPherson City. So far, two people have died and more than a thousand households have been evacuated."

Seeing the raging fire on the TV screen, Clark and Azu looked at each other.

The anchor's voice continued, "Ralph Terrazas, chief of the McPherson Fire Department, said the fire area on the northern edge of the city has exceeded 18 square kilometers, and at least 25 houses have been destroyed."

"Will the wildfire spread to our town?"

Azu frowned and asked
Clark stared at the TV screen and said hesitantly, "That shouldn't be the case. There will be firefighters to put out the fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, the host's voice came from the TV:

"Currently, the Kansas Fire Department has jointly dispatched nearly 165 firefighters to fight the wildfire. Meteorologists estimate that the upcoming rainy weather will help the wildfire, but the fire department spokesman said that the effect of rainy weather is minimal given the current extent of the wildfire."

Zu looked at the TV screen and shrugged his shoulders like Peter did, "Well, may God bless America!"
