Chapter 29: Torment Superman A Bit, Ian Will Win
To be honest.
Ian didn’t like the big ones.
But his eyes sometimes had a mind of their own.
While searching for information on the plane crash, Ian also repeatedly watched videos of cheerleaders four or five times.
The main focus was rigor, purely looking for any overlooked accident details.
“It’s too fake, full of technology and ruthless tactics, it really affected my observation of all the details of Dad’s flight path.” Ian’s criticism was the kind that landed with a thud. He cautiously deleted his computer’s browsing history, skillfully formatted the hard drive, then filled it with real scientific knowledge learning materials, and then formatted the computer again.
A set of operations flowed like water.
Full of value.
It was definitely wisdom that even Jonathan and Jordan combined wouldn’t be able to learn. Sleeping tonight was impossible, staying up all night was the way to go. Ian spent the entire night searching for related topics on online platforms.
He actually found some useful information on various forums and in niche communities.
The next day.
Not having developed dark circles under his eyes, nor suffering from kidney deficiency and qi depletion, Ian, in a state of mental decline, was a bit disappointed. He blamed his body for being too strong as he walked out of the room.
Morning light cut golden stripes across the dining table through the blinds.
In the air.
The aroma of roasted meat and eggs permeated. Ian poked at the scrambled eggs on his plate with a fork, his peripheral vision locked onto Clark in the kitchen. The Superman was humming a tune as he stuffed bacon into a sandwich.
“Do you want more blueberry jam?”
Clark turned to look at Ian, who was staring at him. His expression showed no sign of abnormality or illness. As he spoke, he placed the completed sandwich onto Jordan’s dinner plate.
“No, thank you.”
Ian shook the milk carton in his hand, the plastic carton making a hollow sound. “I’m full! I’m going to school! You two continue to enjoy the wonderful breakfast of this new day!”
He said this as he stood up and slung his backpack over his shoulder.
“Wait! We’ll take you to school!” Jonathan, taking a bite of chicken breast, had his own plans and schemes regarding his diet as a key player in American football.
“Yeah, what if you run into those kidnappers from yesterday again? That’s too dangerous.” Jordan also wanted to grab Ian, but Ian, whose physical quality temporarily far surpassed his, had already slipped out the door in a flash.
Clark did not stop him.
He even stopped Jordan from chasing after him.
“Your brother is very smart. You have to trust that he can protect himself.” Clark knew that some things couldn’t be explained yet, so he chose to express it in a more indirect way.
However.
“He’s still a child! He can protect himself?” Jordan rolled his eyes, his stereotype of his father being an irresponsible man deepening.
American families.
Family conflicts were always the main melody.
“Sigh!”
Clark watched Jordan chase after Ian, only sighing without much explanation. At this moment, a somewhat fatigued Lois came down the stairs.
“Kids, I’m sorry, I’m really sleep-deprived. How was the breakfast your father made for you?” Lois, with sleepy eyes, spoke and then realized only Jonathan was left in the dining room.
“Good morning, Mom.”
Jonathan smiled at Lois and gave her a thumbs-up, praising Clark’s cooking skills. However, he had only eaten a few eggs that Clark had boiled.
The rest, such as chicken breast, creatine, protein powder, arginine, fish oil, curcumin, probiotics, and… a mysterious power, were all combined and matched by himself.
“Where’s Ian? And Jordan?”
Lois asked, a little confused, as she took the coffee her husband handed her.
Clark remained silent.
“They went to school after eating.” Jonathan chose not to mention the unpleasantness that had occurred earlier, always being the most mature eldest brother in the family.
“Okay.”
Lois didn’t doubt him.
She walked towards the living room cabinet while nibbling on her sandwich.
“Clark, about what we talked about yesterday… I think we still need to tell Ian and let him accept taking medication, so he doesn’t feel deceived by us.”
Lois opened a drawer, looking for the prescription medicine from the doctor.
However.
The next moment, she froze.
“Did you put Ian’s medicine somewhere else?”
Lois turned around.
Clark remained silent, only burying his head in the bread.
“Or perhaps, you’ve already given Ian the medicine, secretly adding it to his breakfast?” Lois frowned, her tone filled with displeasure.
“Why didn’t you discuss it with me first?”
It was very clear.
Lois was very unhappy.
Seeing this, Jonathan silently left the dining room.
As for Clark.
He gritted his teeth but remained silent, enduring the pressure and output from the strongest individual in the house, stuffing bread into his mouth to keep it shut.
…
Outside the house.
Jordan didn’t catch up to Ian. He ran incredibly fast, taking shortcuts that were faster than a bus. The reason for his quick escape was, of course, due to a unique reason.
“Hahaha, hahaha, I’m an expert at taking medicine~” Ian ran, raising the medicine bottle in his hand. The liquid mixed with a handful of colorful pills rushed into his mouth.
The taste was very bitter.
But it didn’t stop him from chewing and swallowing large mouthfuls. Bottle after bottle, he quickly finished all the medicine. It took effect quickly, and Ian saw several changes appear at the bottom of his vision.
【 Abnormal Heart Rate 】
【 Paralysis of Nerves 】
【 Sensory Overload 】
【 Metabolic Disorder 】
【 Liver and Kidney Failure 】
Wow!
A total of five negative statuses!
【 Body Decay, Experience +2 】
I have to say.
The medicine prescribed by the doctor was truly excellent in Ian’s opinion.
“Dr. Hannibal is a divine doctor!” Ian sincerely praised the psychiatrist he had been wary of before. He felt a sense of impending death, as if he could kick the bucket at any moment.
However.
Though dead, not dead, just, as if dead. Yes, this was his ideal leveling-up method! Ian ran very fast and saved on bus fare upon arriving at school.
The morning classes were very simple.
However, Ian was slumped over his desk and didn’t pay attention.
【 Body Continuously Decaying, Experience +3 】
The youth was thinking.
He was thinking if his mental illness had gotten worse. After thinking for a long time, he felt that he had probably recovered – the teacher in class didn’t pay attention to the best-performing student in the grade daydreaming.
However.
His deskmate, Madison, seemed to notice. It wasn’t out of admiration; she kept turning her head to look at Ian. After one class ended, she couldn’t hold back her confusion any longer.
“Ian, why are your eyeballs constantly spinning… Holy crap! They’re spinning into little stars! Are you going to mutate into a zombie!?” Madison was truly startled by Ian’s condition.
“If you turn into a zombie, don’t bite me first! Go bite our principal!”
She abruptly pushed Ian’s approaching head away.
She looked extremely terrified.
And at that moment.
“Holy crap! Madison! What did you do to me!” Ian, immersed in the experience of leveling up, suddenly regained clarity in his eyes. After a moment of being stunned, he became furious.
He had accumulated seven abnormal statuses.
Now they were all gone!
He even felt refreshed!
It was like his body was perfectly healthy as if he had used 【 Self-Healing Tide 】!
