“Don’t be too hard on yourself. Perry said you can take a day off. Oh right, you have a visitor.”
“Mine?” Clark was somewhat surprised.
He doesn't remember arranging to meet anyone.
"Yes, it seems they came from Gotham. They just arrived at the waiting room."
"Okay, I'll go check it out. Thanks, Jimmy."
Clark got up in confusion and went to the waiting room.
"Who are you...?" He closed the door to the waiting room, looking puzzled at the unfamiliar face before him.
“Shen You, from Gotham.” Shen You smiled and shook hands with him. “I’m a fan, nice to meet you, Clark. Or perhaps the name you use more often lately is Superman?”
"What?" Clark pulled his hand back as if he'd been electrocuted. "I don't understand what you mean."
Shen You looked at him helplessly: "Uh, no offense, but you're only wearing glasses."
“Glasses? What glasses? Oh right.” Clark adjusted his heavy frames. “You mean my nearsightedness? It’s an old problem, it’s gotten worse since middle school. Without these, it feels like I’m blind.”
As the two were talking, Kara silently appeared behind Clark and stealthily approached.
Then, at close range, it suddenly accelerates and strikes like lightning with super speed!
After being trained by Shen You, Kara had mastered the basics of super speed, and with precise movements, she removed Clark's glasses from his nose. Clark's pupils contracted, and he reflexively reached out and grabbed her fair wrist.
“Hmm, your hand looks fine, Mr. Kent,” Shen You interrupted.
Clark blinked, looked down, and realized that he had instinctively pulled his arm out of the cast.
Now there's absolutely no need to act anymore.
Clark exchanged a glance with Kara, a look of surprise on his face.
"You Kara?"
PY time!
Wuxia: You start with sixty years' worth of internal energy!
Chaos reigns, and the martial world is in turmoil.
Thieves disregard the law, tyrants slaughter countless people, and demonic forces wreak havoc on the world.
Jiang Ran transmigrated to this world and awakened the [Sword-Holder System], thus embarking on his journey into the martial world with a sword in hand.
At the pinnacle of power, heroes gather.
A peerless swordsman has emerged, dominating all directions!
He pointed his sword horizontally, his eyes cold and sharp:
"Let me see which one of you is the wanted criminal!"
Chapter 76 Machine Factory
"Kara!?"
Clark looked surprised.
"Are you Kara? Or..."
“Yes, I am, but how do you know me?” This turn of events was also unexpected for Kara. “I mean, my name is indeed Kara-Zo-El, and I’m your cousin, but you were only this old back then!”
She gestured with her hands.
"I used to hold you, and you even peed on me! How could you possibly remember me?"
Clark blushed slightly, somewhat embarrassed: "Uh, I really don't remember anything about the people and events from back then. But I had your image in the cabin of the ship that brought me to Earth. The AI that was a backup of my father's consciousness on board told me that you are my cousin, and that we should meet on Earth."
"Great!"
Kara was so excited that she went up to her cousin and gave him a warm hug.
"I was worried you wouldn't believe me."
Clark was a little flustered, his dangling arm seemingly unsure of what to do, as if hesitating whether to put it back in the cast.
“It’s a pleasure to see you, Carla. You look exactly the same as you do in the videos.”
“And you look so much older!” Kara said, then realized there might be a problem with that. “Oh, I didn’t mean that. I meant you look so much older.”
"Kent!"
A loud roar came from outside the office.
"Kent, where did he go!?"
Kara was startled by the shout and covered her ears, asking, "Was that calling you?"
Clark was a little embarrassed: "Uh, yes, that's my editor-in-chief. My boss. I'd better get there quickly if I don't want to get fired."
"It's great to see you, Kara. How about we have a good chat later about our experiences on Earth, like how about dinner?"
"Yeah!"
Kara was delighted, but as soon as she agreed, she remembered something and cautiously turned to Shen You with a pleading expression.
It's like asking with your eyes, "Is it okay?"
“Of course, we’ll definitely be there on time.” Shen You patted her shoulder and looked at Clark at the same time, “I also have something I’d like to talk to you about.”
Clark felt a little strange, but he understood that this was a friend his cousin trusted very much, so he didn't ask any more questions for the time being, and just nodded and said, "Okay. I'll arrange the seating tonight, we'll talk about it later. But I really have to leave now, or the editor-in-chief will kill me. That's all."
He hurriedly left after saying that.
"Reporters are really busy," Shen You sighed. "Even with his arm like that, he still has to work overtime?"
Hopefully, Da Chao will remember to put his arm back in the cast before he sees the editor-in-chief.
As night fell, before dinner, Shen You had other plans.
This trip to see Da Chao was just one of the things on their to-do list for their trip to Metropolis. Another thing Shen You needed to confirm personally was the coordinates of the suspected Brainiac signal frequency band discovered by the newly completed radar scan.
What he planned to bring up with Superman at dinner was actually about Brooks. According to the original comics, Superman is "the most powerful creature on Earth," Brooks is his nemesis, and given his connection to Kara, Brooks would be a crucial ally in the fight against Brainiac.
Now, wearing armor, Shen You flew to an abandoned industrial area following the coordinates marked by the radar.
The dark, abandoned factory, its buildings crumbling and lifeless in the shadows. Wild grass and vines grew on the outer walls, and the rusty iron gate creaked in the breeze.
Ultra Armor's hands gripped the cold iron door, and the door slowly pried open with a creaking sound. Dust particles floated gently in the blue light radiating from the armor's chest, and shards of glass crackled beneath the heavy metal combat boots.
"Par, are you sure the source is here?" Shen You looked around.
“Yes, sir. But the radar itself is in the testing phase, and the possibility of false alarms cannot be ruled out,” Parr said.
"Well, so it's very likely we've just made a wasted trip."
He activated the scanner and walked inside, looking around. Suddenly, an enemy attack alarm popped up on the front of the armored display.
A pair of eerie green lights appeared in the darkness behind them.
Shen You reacted incredibly fast, activating his super speed without hesitation. He swayed to the side, and a beam of eerie green laser light grazed past his armor, cutting a clear crack in the ground.
"It seems we've received a warm welcome."
"It seems so, sir."
The attacker's appearance appeared clearly on the monitor. Some kind of strange robot, cold metal, covered in dark armor, its head like a skull constructed of an unknown elemental metal, its eyes flashing with an eerie green light, like the eyes of a demon, appearing chilling in the darkness.
The attack itself only proves one thing.
He found the right place.
Shen You dodged the artillery fire, then closed the distance with a blur of movement. A knee strike shattered the robot's chest armor, and a left hand chops out, the steel arm piercing through the hole he'd created and going straight through the robot's body.
He exerted force in opposite directions with both palms, activated the arm armor thrusters, and with the added power, pulled in the opposite direction, tearing the robot's body in half at the waist.
"Par, activate deep scan. Someone's hiding something; we've definitely found the right place," Shen You said.
The scanner is activated, and an invisible scanning beam slowly sweeps across the entire building within the built-in display's field of view.
“Structural scanning in progress,” Pal’s voice paused for a few seconds before ringing out again, “results suggest the possible existence of a hidden layer in the underground space. A movable area has been found on the floor.”
An area was marked as highlighted in his field of vision. Shen You stepped forward and plunged his ten fingers directly into the floor.
"Lottery draw time. Let's see if we've won."
With a powerful pull, he forcefully ripped open an entire floorboard. The hidden mechanical structure, under the force of this incredible strength, emitted a low, mournful groan as an entrance leading downwards was revealed.
Shen You leaped down, falling about ten meters before landing on the ground with a thud.
At the same second, pairs of eerie green eyes were simultaneously lit up in the darkness.
Dark armor, a metallic body, and a metallic skull head that gleamed with an eerie green light—they were all identical, layered upon each other in the darkness, enveloping Shen You like an iron barrel.
There are tons of robots, like copy-pasting.
“A large number of machine enemies have been detected, with no signs of life,” Parr said. “The scanner has detected Brainiac technology reactions that match the descriptions in the Kryptonian database.”
It looks like this is a hidden assembly plant, sir.
"I see it."
Shen You's palms had begun to glow faintly.
"It seems like we've won the lottery."
Today's PY (friendship/promotion): recommending a friend's book.
Title: Ninja Academy Teacher: I Can Become Stronger by Teaching
Synopsis: Mu Yue transmigrates to the Naruto world, becoming an ordinary Chunin teacher at the Konoha Ninja Academy, and also a member of the Root organization.
Fortunately, after awakening the teacher system, you can become stronger by teaching.
In order not to become Danzo's consumables, Mu Yue worked hard to teach and increase her strength.
"Complete the teaching rated A for the first time and receive the reward - mastery of fire attribute chakra properties change."
"Your teachings have helped Uchiha Shisui mature his thinking and learn to think independently, earning him the reward—the Sage Body!"
Under Mu Yue's guidance, Shisui understood that the village's enemies might not necessarily be other big countries, but might also be within the village, and that those who could talk about the Will of Fire very well might not necessarily act in accordance with it.
Obito got rid of the title of the last in the ninja school, and Might Guy became a master of physical skills earlier...
