I, the younger brother of Superman, ended up with a Thanos template.

These past two days he's been thinking about one thing: his emotional triggers, aside from special characters like Batman, seem to have always been provided by people with supernatural powers.

"It's just that there are too few people like that."

Even though there aren't many ability users in the town, he hasn't encountered more than ten so far, and the emotional points they provide combined are less than one-tenth of Clark's.

"Most of the time, improving template fusion relies on Clark."

Now that Clark's strength has increased, he can sometimes provide him with sixty or seventy emotional points.

"But what if it's a large, extraordinary race..."

A glimmer of light appeared in David's eyes.

I said I'd guarantee at least 6,000 words the day before yesterday, but I forgot that tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. I need to go to bed early to meet the word count requirement because I'm going to my sick grandfather's house for the festival tomorrow. I'll take a short break today and make up for the missed words after the festival.

Finally, wishing everyone a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival. (〃'▽'〃)

Chapter 78. Don't do things you'll regret.

"Are you joking or have you dialed the wrong number?"

The father, Jonathan, could hardly believe the phone call that came in.

"What?... Thank you."

Martha was stirring the pancakes in the pan when she turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jonathan put down his phone and frowned.

"The credit card company calls to confirm the amount we spent."

A string of bills; their family's credit cards were charged a considerable amount of money this morning.

"But clearly..."

As he spoke, he reached for his credit card, only to discover that it was missing from his wallet.

"Jonathan, when did we install a satellite dish in the warehouse?"

Looking out the window, Martha was startled to see a brand-new satellite dish mounted on the wall outside the second floor of the warehouse.

Jonathan looked over, exchanged a glance with his wife, and looked puzzled.

The couple entered the warehouse and were met with a sense of unfamiliarity from what they saw.

"When did our warehouse for storing farm machinery and tools turn into an arcade?"

A questioning voice came from behind them, exactly what the couple wanted to say.

"son."

The two turned to look.

David, who had just returned from Washington, stood at the warehouse door with his hands in his shirt pockets and a surprised expression.

The warehouse was filled with various video game consoles, rock-style fashion clothes hung from the ceiling, and several beautiful electric guitars hung on the walls.

"It looks like a little world that a boy who loves games and rock music has been dreaming of for a long time."

"Boom boom boom!"

Loud gaming sounds came from upstairs on the second floor.

It's still a long way from Clark's birthday. Even if it were his birthday, his parents wouldn't be so indulgent towards Clark, David raised an eyebrow.

"We...won the lottery?"

He thought of a new way to get emotional points, but he couldn't just disappear from home for a while for no reason. He planned to wait until after the exams and during the long holiday before looking for Paradise Island. Anyway, it would only take about a week.

"I really hope so."

Glancing upstairs, Jonathan's face flashed with confusion and anger, and he guessed what was going on.

The three of them went up the stairs to the attic.

His attire was completely different from before. Clark, dressed in a black leather jacket, had a strong sense of rebellion and arrogance on his face as he stared at the game screen, playing a game. The deafening sound of the fighting characters hitting each other came out.

"Go to hell, go to hell! Let's see how many more hits you can take!"

He frantically pressed the buttons on the game controller in his hand.

The couple looked at Clark, who seemed completely absorbed in the world of violent video games with an excited expression, and felt a little alienated and angry.

"Clark, what's going on?"

How did we end up with so much stuff in our house?!

"The Metropolitan Eddie Store is open 24 hours a day and offers low prices and discounts."

When his parents came to his side, they questioned him about why the warehouse had been turned into this state. Clark, still staring at the little figure on the screen, replied without looking at them.

"You mean... you used our credit cards to buy these things?"

Jonathan stared.

The mother, Martha, couldn't believe that her usually shy and book-loving eldest son would do something like this—stealing their money without a word to buy these things on a whim.

"Clark, you stole our money?"

Even Martha, who rarely showed any anger, couldn't help but turn stern.

David's eyes were full of surprise. Was Clark going through a rebellious phase?

At the end of adolescence?

"Clark, are you even listening to your mother?"

Seeing his eldest son still playing video games without turning around, Jonathan angrily turned off the deafening stereo.

"Ugh, you guys are so annoying!"

Without the energetic beat of the game, the fighting instantly became boring. Frustration flashed across Clark's brow as he threw down the game controller and stood up.

"Isn't there enough work for you to do on this lousy farm?!"

"What did you say, Clark?"

Upon hearing these words, which sounded completely out of character to Clark, David frowned instantly.

Even during a rebellious phase, one shouldn't be so obnoxious, like Tina, a shapeshifter?

"Clark, we never taught you to talk to your parents like that!"

Jonathan was taken aback by his son's attitude and reaction. Instead of admitting his mistake, his son spoke to him and his wife so rudely. Jonathan was stunned and then said angrily.

"Clark, what's wrong?"

Martha was taken aback, her eyes filled with deep confusion; her eldest son was so unfamiliar to her.

Is the eldest son an alien with super strength, super speed, and super vision, which is why he also has a super rebellious phase?

"Stop lecturing me. You're not my real parents."

When Clark looked at the couple who had raised him with such care, he gave a dismissive smile and casually uttered something even more hurtful.

"You're just a couple who happened to find me in the wheat field."

As soon as he said this, the warehouse fell silent.

Martha felt as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, and she staggered back in disbelief, her eyes reddening. Jonathan looked pale and shocked, and called out his eldest son's full name!

"Clark Kent!"

"I don't want to go back to school with a bruised and swollen face after the holiday."

Apologize to Mom and Dad right now, Clark!

After hearing Clark recount his unusual background that no one knew about, David no longer doubted that the person in front of him was Clark. His voice turned cold, as if it contained no emotion whatsoever.

"immediately!"

The strange behavior of Clark, coupled with a ring inlaid with a ruby ​​on his hand, caught his attention.

Unlike green kryptonite, it doesn't glow, but this color, combined with Clark's drastically changed personality, made David suddenly remember something, and his expression changed slightly.

"who do you think You Are?"

Clark seemed to have harbored resentment for a long time, and retorted angrily without any politeness.

I've disliked you for a long time.

You should know who the older brother and younger brother are in this family, right?

He gritted his teeth and looked at David, who had humiliated him so many times, never obeyed him, and dared to make him lose face time and time again!

[Clark's anger +112...]

“Take off the ring on your hand, Clark.”

Clark became extremely emotional, which further convinced David of his suspicions. He said in a deep voice, "You've become unrecognizable. Don't let the ring control you. Don't make me do it."

It was Kryptonite, the only thing that drastically changed Superman's personality.

"There are many kinds of Kryptonite. Besides Green Kryptonite, which makes Kryptonians weak and uncomfortable, Blue Kryptonite, which temporarily eliminates Kryptonian abilities, Gold Kryptonite, which permanently eliminates Kryptonian abilities, and Black Kryptonite, which splits Kryptonians into one good and one evil..."
