American comic book: My Father is Superman, am I just an NPC?

Chapter 73 The Homelander's Profession! [Please Read On!]

He ran.

he chased.

Ian felt like he had nowhere to go.

They acquired a new profession and new talents.

Ian's attribute improvement is actually quite noticeable.

Name: Ian Kent

[Common Occupation: Student lv7 [125/640]]

【超凡职业：狂战士LV4〔9/80〕野蛮暴君lv1〔0/10〕】

[Global Recognition: Independent NPC]

Strength: 11-13

[Constitution: 8.9 — 14]

Intelligence: 2.8 - 3.0

[Spirit: 7.5-7.6]

……

However, this kind of improvement cannot solve the immediate problem.

"Help me! Someone please help me!"

Ian didn't know who to ask for help; it was quite far from Martha's grandmother's house. And calling his mother to ask her to change her name to Martha was clearly too late.

Humans on two legs can never outrun birds that fly in the sky.

He hadn't run more than a few steps, and before Ian could even find any street thugs he could grab and throw into the air like Superman, his own father had grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up into the sky.

bad news.

My father caught me without lifting a finger.

good news.

Dad just dumped him at the doorstep.

"Wait for me to come home!"

He flew off as if he were rushing off to do some vigilante work again—Ian got a few breaths and some time to think of a solution.

"Whoo~"

With a sigh of relief, Ian took off his cheap Batman suit and stuffed the Minotaur back into his small backpack. He could finally check out his new talent.

【Perfect Divinity: Can absorb chemicals and automatically synthesize the enhancement compounds needed in the body for upgrades. Each synthesis of chemicals in the body will bring you a corresponding increase in experience.

When you are subjected to any form of taunting, your body will enter a "Musou Mode," in which you will gain a 30% increase in all attributes, but your morality level will continuously decrease.

It has to be said that the Constitution boost gained by the [Savage Tyrant] class is truly outrageous; judging from the panel boost alone, it's even more powerful than the [Berserker] template.

"That can't be! The Homelanders were the unlucky ones who got torn apart." Ian suspected that these professions could be upgraded later, while the [Savage Tyrant] was an early-game profession.

This speculation cannot be confirmed yet, but the emergence of extraordinary talents is indeed a real phenomenon. Ian feels that he has already secretly aligned himself with the path to advancement.

"As expected of me!"

Ian pulled out his special drink and took a big gulp.

[Savage Tyrant Experience Points +1]

It really works.

The chemistry teacher's value immediately became apparent. He pulled out his tattered thermos, thinking that he should get Mr. White a more expensive one when he had the chance.

“I have one Savage Tyrant skill point. Let me see what I can learn.” Ian stood at the front door of his house, clearly not trying to delay his entry.

【Eyes of the Blazing Sun: The eyes can emit high-intensity laser beams. Continuous use will cause a temporary decrease in vision. The intensity of the laser beam depends on the user's mental attributes.】

[Aberrant Breath: You will continuously cultivate aberrant factors within your body, which you can actively expel as gas through your lungs, triggering a violent biological aberration reaction in the target.]

[Iron Body: Your body surface will be greatly strengthened, significantly increasing your strength and constitution attributes.]

……

The sheer variety of skills remains abundant.

However, Ian can only learn three skills at his current level.

The ability to fly is not among them.

"If there's a passive skill, you should definitely choose the passive skill! Every gamer knows that!" Ian didn't hesitate for long and chose the skill that would bring him closer to the Lumberjacks.

A body of steel

"System, can you change it to Steel Body? I've had enough of the suffering caused by piracy." Ian tried to negotiate with the system, but the always aloof system just silently granted him the skill.

Strength: 13-21

[Constitution: 14 — 38]

【Intelligence: 3.0】

【Spirit: 7.6】

……

A qualitative leap! This physical enhancement was absolutely beyond Ian's expectations. If he didn't currently lack other [Savage Tyrant] skill points, he was afraid he would lose control and invest more in this skill.

Yes.

Regular skills can be upgraded, and so can class skills. However, each upgrade requires twice the skill points of the previous level, so Ian has been reluctant to use the few [Berserker] skill points he has saved up.

"I need to level up really hard!"

Ian felt that his system, like himself, was obedient; its silence was tacit approval. When he upgraded the skill again, the system would definitely change the skill name silently.

"Don't let me down."

Ian, who had attempted to manipulate his own system, eventually had to step into his own home. He cautiously entered the house and tiptoed into the living room.

Jordan, the second brother, was sprawled on the sofa watching TV. The news reported that Superman had just prevented a nuclear power plant leak, his red cape fluttering in the radioactive dust.

The reason why my father was in such a hurry has been found.

"Where are Mom and Jonathan?"

Ian probed his second brother.

The second brother glanced back at his younger brother, who had been coming home late the past few days and seemed to be in a relationship. "Jonathan went to the court for extra practice, and Mom went out too..."

"This is strange. My mom saw a news article about Batman and then rushed out, muttering curses under her breath. I think she must not like this superhero from the next city."

Jordan stroked his chin and made a deduction that he considered comparable to that of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes.

"Haha, yeah, Batman is so bad..." Ian's forehead was slightly sweaty, not too much at first, but he froze when his hand nervously reached for his pocket.

“Of course, even so, I still love Batman! I adore him.” This was Ian’s timely remedy, because the phone Batman had thrown to him was still in his pocket.

I didn't throw it away.

After all, if Ian wants to run a red light, he needs to build a stronger relationship with Batman. They didn't have a way to contact each other before, but now Batman can enjoy the same treatment as Miss Death.

"what?"

Jordan turned around abruptly after hearing this.

"There's something wrong with you!"

His tone was slightly surprised and uncertain.

"What do you mean?"

Ian felt guilty, thinking that his second brother had figured something out.

Never thought about it.

"You've got a boyfriend too?" Jordan's voice, brimming with information, carried a hint of worry—worry about his brother, and also about his own...future.

"What's the meaning!?"

Ian paused for a moment.

Eyes widened.

He didn't dare to think too much.

Once wisdom is activated, it becomes terrifying to think about.

"This matter... never mind, you can't know! You tell both adults everything!" Jordan wanted to say something more, but in the end he kept his mouth shut.

"Is it possible that I never reported this..." Ian was truly wronged this time. Although he was a top student, he didn't have the stereotypical bad habits of some top students.

"Ah."

Jordan, however, did not believe it.

He pulled an email out from under his butt.

“Someone sent you a letter, I think it’s a love letter… because there’s no return address and no signature. I’ve received them before.” Jordan’s final emphasis seemed a little deliberate.

"A green envelope, how could it be a love letter?"

Ian rolled his eyes.

He took the email and opened it out of curiosity. Inside was indeed a thin letter and a piece of paper. It was a check, with a full seven zeros on it!
"mischief?"

Nobody would believe this was a real check.

Ian looked at the letter with surprise—the contents were expressed in a very gentlemanly and courteous manner. However, Ian was still completely bewildered after reading it.

To Mr. Ian Kent:

I hope you are doing well when this letter reaches you!
I write this letter with great trepidation because after reading your work, I am filled with overwhelming love and admiration, and I earnestly wish to express my heartfelt praise for this book. Please allow me to express my sincerest respect and appreciation for your outstanding work, *Batman's Tragic Love Story*.

Your artistic talent is truly admirable.

The portrayal of the characters' psychology is absolutely exquisite.

When Batman trembled as he said, "How could I be your half-brother?", I was deeply shocked! What a brilliant concept! What a dramatic twist!

Please satisfy your most loyal reader on Earth.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself.

[A handwritten message from your Joker, expressing your admiration.]
