For Brody, he felt lucky when he knew that the system maintained his physical condition. At least in this way, he didn't have to face the consequences of muscle atrophy in his limbs, bone degeneration, bed sores, or internal organ decline.

It's just that this kind of joy didn't last long, and the severe pain caused by walking made him have to face this somewhat heavy fact.

If he wanted to walk, he would have to endure pain with every step, like the mermaid princess in a fairy tale.As long as one thinks of this situation, it is inevitable that a trace of fear will arise in anyone's heart.

but--

Brody lowered his eyes and raised his hand to touch his chest. Through the hospital gown, he could feel the appearance of the stone underneath. Even if he didn't take it out, he could still imagine what it looked like.His elder brother even accidentally fell down a dry well because of it, and then presented it to him that night as his guardian stone.

The corners of Brody's lips curled into a smile. When he raised his head, the sunlight that fell from the window happened to fall into his eyes, which became brighter. Although he was uneasy, he was more determined. .

Just like what my father said to the two brothers——

"Why did we fall?"

— is to learn to stand up.

At least he who has a system can decide for himself whether to endure pain and walk like an ordinary person, instead of not even having the opportunity to choose, this is enough.

"So, today is the first attempt."

"Host," the system said, "monitoring is everywhere in your ward, are you sure you don't need shielding?"

Brody: "...surveillance?"

The tone of the system was very calm and calm, "Your brother filled this ward with surveillance cameras a few days ago, so he will be able to know as soon as anything happens."

Brody: "...block it."

When he said this, he was a little dumbfounded, but he couldn't get angry. After all, no matter how stupid a person was, he could guess that Bruce was doing this for his safety.

Let's pretend not to know, anyway, besides practicing walking, he has nothing else to hide.

After confirming that the system had blocked the monitoring, Brody propped himself up and sat on the edge of the hospital bed. Looking at the shoes on the ground, his chest heaved a few times, and then he put his feet down.

bang——

As the sound of the body colliding with the ground resounded, the painful groan became muffled because he covered his mouth, and could hardly be heard outside the ward. There was a dazzling bright red mark on the body.

The young man closed his eyes, his eyelashes were trembling, sweat dripped down from his forehead, and he looked a bit embarrassed after just taking a step, but when he opened his eyes, he supported his legs again.

Slowly, but without flinching.

bang——

The sound echoed in the ward, but drifted away along the open window, and drifted into the ears of a certain reporter.

"...Clark!"

Hearing someone calling himself, the reporter who buried his head in a pen and seemed to be writing something raised his head, looked over the desk baffle, and found that it was his boss, Editor-in-Chief Perry, who was frowning and looking at him, "There is something that needs you Do it, Clark, it's a press conference."

Clark put down the pen, nodded in response, "What is it?"

Editor-in-Chief Perry handed him the material in his hand, Clark took it, opened it, and read the top word, "The Stark Group?"

"That's right, you should understand something," Editor-in-Chief Perry said with a sigh, leaning on the baffle, "It's a well-known company with a deep background in the military, and the current heir of the Stark Group is also very Famous, I heard that every day he has a different woman in bed." Speaking of this, he showed a manly smile, but then clicked his tongue again, "This time it is probably another new product launch."

"New product?"

Editor-in-Chief Perry: "Yeah, although Tony Stark is very romantic, I have to say that he is a weapon genius just like his father. If there is no accident this time, he has developed a new weapon."

While flipping through the pages, Clark not only received what Perry said, but also deliberately listened to all the information from the outside world based on the name 'Tony Stark'. Probably after the editor-in-chief Perry finished speaking, his ears moved slightly. , raised his hand and pushed his glasses, his eyes flashed suddenly.

A very confident, even a little arrogant person.

"Do well, Clark," Editor-in-Chief Perry reached out and patted him on the shoulder, with an encouraging smile, "You and that guy seem to get along pretty well, so take this opportunity for me to recommend you."

Generally speaking, it is impossible for journalists who have not been employed for a long time to have this kind of opportunity to participate in press conferences of large companies. They are either helping big reporters, or being thrown to interview those low-level stars. The reason for saying so.Obviously, Clark was able to have this opportunity because of the new boss of Planet Daily. Otherwise, no matter how optimistic Editor-in-Chief Perry was about Clark, no one would agree to his recommendation this time.

Clark just smiled, wearing black-rimmed glasses, he looked like an ordinary nice guy.

After Editor-in-Chief Perry left, he looked away, picked up the pen, and then found that his draft paper was blank. He hadn't written anything before, which made him sigh softly.

The knocking sound and muffled sound coming from a distance seemed to become clearer, and Clark felt that his mood was a little complicated.Because of his superpowers, there are many people he has never met, but knows about them. Among these people, although Brody's experience is somewhat different, it is not very special.

But recently, Clark found that he seemed to be unconsciously paying more attention to this little Mr. Wayne.

Maybe... because of his character?

There is a kind of person, when you see him, you feel that he should be in an environment surrounded by love, you will smile at his innocence, and sigh because he encounters bad things, you will treat him I feel sorry for you.But this is more akin to the feeling of the weak, because you know he is fragile, he belongs to the kind of flower that is cared for by the glasshouse and cannot withstand the wind and rain.

Precious but delicate.

Clark couldn't deny that his first impression of Brody was like this, especially when he saw Bruce and Alfred's concern for Brody, this impression became clearer.

The first impression changed. It was probably when the garden was hijacked. He noticed that Brody's face was not flustered.

Not the kind of naivety that doesn't understand their circumstances, but knowing that they should maintain sane equanimity.

But it was probably that day that completely changed his impression.

Clark's super memory allowed him to recreate in his mind everything he saw at that time - the trembling body of the young man, the blood dripping on the ground, and the pain caused by the internal changes in the body.

There is a strong and resilient soul in a pale and fragile body, and this contrast can often bring enough impact.

Anyone who sees such a pair of blue eyes looking at him pitifully can't refuse his request... Clark thought so, he stopped taking notes on Stark's corporate information for a moment, For some reason, I knew that I had done nothing wrong, but I felt a little guilty at this moment.

He touched his nose and coughed.

Anyway... he's Clark Kent now, a junior reporter for the Daily Planet.

What does what Superman does have anything to do with Clark?

Brody, who was far away in the hospital, didn't know what happened to the others. After falling to the ground again, he took a breath. The wheelchair beside him sat on it.

After practicing for less than half an hour, his clothes were completely soaked, and the handkerchief held by his right hand was completely soaked into another color. If someone walked in at this time, he would probably be caught by Brody at this time. The tragedy was frightened.

Brody glanced at his hand resting on the armrest of the wheelchair. In his sight, his fingers were still trembling slightly, and he couldn't control it to calm it down. There were bursts of stinging pain.

If it wasn't for the system, Brody felt that he would probably be driven crazy, and even if he wasn't driven crazy, he would have flinched. In other words, he did have this idea for a moment, but he insisted on it in the end.

"The store is really terrible." Brody murmured, although the painkillers in the system store are not only effective and harmless to the body, but can even slightly strengthen the body, but it costs thousands of points. It's okay once or twice, but it's really unbearable to get it for a long time.

The system responded in his mind: "It's not a store trap, it's mainly because you are too poor as the host."

Brody: "..." What you said was so reasonable that I was speechless.

"Actually, points are very easy to earn."

"Yeah," Brody rolled his eyes, his face was still pale, and his breathing was heavy, but it didn't stop him from complaining to the system in his head, "It's good money, but it's better to spend."

Afterwards, Brody spent some more points to let the system erase the traces on his body, and then he moved his body back to the hospital bed with difficulty. After he sat down, he found that the guardian stone was swinging out of his clothes.

Seeing it, Brody remembered what happened when Bruce ran over at night. He didn't know when he fell asleep, but he remembered the moment when he woke up the next day and saw this guardian stone beside his pillow that had been away for more than ten years. Feeling.

Brody looked down at it, fingers stroking the not-so-smooth surface of the stone, the corners of his mouth raised.

In fact, being able to persist for half an hour also has its help.

Every time he felt it, it was as if he had received strength from his family, which made him grit his teeth and persevere.
