It is time to speak up for the species that evolved into humans~!
Who will save the chimpanzees?!
Deep inside, they suffer in loneliness~
Chimpanzees, don't cry~~~~~~!
..."
The classic track by Countess Crimson echoed in the kitchen area.
Shawn cracked an egg into the pan with one hand, grabbed the spatula, and began cooking a highly difficult Chinese dish.
Mira's voice called out from the living room.
"Honey, Shawn, I'm watching the news, could you turn the music down a bit?"
"Alright, alright..."
Shawn freed one hand to turn down the player on the bar counter, and while controlling the heat, he didn't forget to look back.
Mira was lying on the sofa with a large belly, in a bold posture, holding the remote control and constantly changing channels.
Shawn found it funny: "What news do you actually want to watch?"
At this moment, the TV jumped to the Vought International channel.
The host's solemn and upright voice came from it: "The topic of freelance superheroes causing trouble is being brought up by more and more people. The headmaster of Godolkin University of Superhuman Studies stated that immature minors, especially superhumans, should not be in a hurry to become superheroes."
"They don't know enough about themselves, and rushing into missions will greatly increase the possibility of losing control of their abilities. A lack of training means a lack of control, and the resulting tragedies are often irreparable. Please be responsible for yourself, and don't let your friends and family worry."
"The headmaster calls on all superhumans to ensure they have undergone systematic study and training before considering becoming a superhero. Godolkin University of Superhuman Studies has the most extensive experience in cultivating superheroes..."
'Tsk tsk~'
Mira's pretty face was full of mockery. She scratched her hair without any image, pouted, and said: "Who doesn't know that Godolkin University of Superhuman Studies is Vought International's talent base and cash cow? They wish every superhuman was under their control, but everyone knows that's impossible."
She felt bored and pressed another channel.
The screen flickered, and the America Sports Channel appeared.
"The highly anticipated race of the century is about to take place in the New York stadium in 3 days. The two hot candidates competing for the title of 'World's Fastest Man', Vought superhero 'Mr. Marathon' and 'A-Train', have each posted winning declarations on their social media accounts. It seems this is bound to be a clash of the titans."
"It's Vought International again..."
Now looking at any superhero, it seemed like they were all superficial.
Mira changed the channel again.
This time, what came into view was their town's channel.
Apart from locals, only people in the surrounding areas watched it occasionally.
The TV screen showed a sparse group of people surrounding a store, holding signs in protest.
Mira looked closely and found that the signs actually read: 'Superman get out of town!', 'Rendell Town does not welcome violent Superman!', 'Do not associate with murderers!', 'Reject violence, reject Superman!'
The voice followed: "The 'House of Superman' in the southern district of Rendell Town has seen a surge in tourists recently. Some people are wearing peripheral clothing and cosplaying as Superman. They claim to be loyal fans of Superman, but have been lingering nearby for days refusing to disperse. They gather, make noise, drink, and cause trouble. Some even break into houses at night to steal and rob, causing public security problems and seriously affecting the lives of surrounding shops and residents."
"This incident has sparked a discussion about Superman's image. Some radical members of the public believe that Superman is responsible for their losses, and the establishment of the 'House of Superman' is the source of all the chaos. We can see police officers maintaining order at the scene, led by the new police chief, Marcus. Let's hear what he thinks..."
Marcus had been promoted and was now the boss of the police station in Rendell Town.
The previous old chief had reached retirement age, and Marcus, having performed excellently in the previous 'V' type murder case and the fight against superhuman crime, successfully took over the vacant position.
By the way, he was old friends with Dalton and Brad.
In the picture, the host handed the microphone to the new chief. Marcus was dressed professionally and neatly, with a tactical vest, sidearm, and baton all ready. He looked like an efficient, elite executive.
"Everyone has the right to freedom of speech."
He spoke to the camera with a calm expression: "We support reasonable protests, but this incident has little to do with Superman. There is evidence that some unidentified individuals are using Superman's name to do underhanded things. We have already arrested two important suspects and remind the general public to view this rationally."
The news continued to play.
Mira thought these protesters were mainly divided into two parts.
Some were rotten to the core, and some were stupid as hell.
The 'House of Superman' was converted from the original Subway shop, not far from their hillside manor. It only took about 40 minutes by car, and in the blink of an eye if flying.
Shawn had taken Mira there before, and she liked the atmosphere there very much.
Watching this news, Mira was quite depressed: "When superhuman criminals were destroying and killing everywhere, I didn't see them have such enthusiasm?"
Shawn walked out with the cooked meal and placed it on the dining table, "Stop watching, let's fill our stomachs first."
Mira held her belly and got up, walked over and sat on the stool, her brows slightly furrowed: "It's obvious that someone is manipulating public opinion, wanting to ruin Superman's reputation. Aren't you worried at all?"
Of course he was worried.
He had done so many good deeds, not asking for praise or understanding, but at least he shouldn't be slandered and verbally abused.
Did these protesting people have no hearts?
Adults all understand that the world is not black and white, and many human behaviors are driven by interests.
If you can make dollars by shouting twice, who would turn down money?
Shawn felt that after so many days of protests, no one had actually broken into the 'House of Superman' to cause trouble, which could already be considered a bit of excessive favoritism for Superman in the hearts of the public.
"Compared to this, I care more about your physical condition." Shawn set the plates and utensils and looked at Mira with a smile.
Mira had been pregnant for exactly nine months, and the day of delivery was getting closer and closer.
The children were very healthy in their mother's womb. The two had checked with their X-ray vision and found that the eldest was growing chubby and was the biggest, the second was slightly smaller but not bad, only the third was relatively thin and small, not looking like it had much meat, but fortunately, it was very energetic.
The three unborn mini-Supermen, like ordinary multiples, inevitably competed for nutrition in the womb.
But it was not a big problem.
Mira had previously awakened the most critical talent of the Superman race, 'Stellar Energy', which could absorb solar energy for her own use.
This talent had far-reaching effects, indirectly allowing the bloodline provided by the fetus in her womb to transform even more.
The process was accelerated as a result.
Yesterday, Mira's Superman bloodline was officially transformed!
This made the last trace of doubt in Shawn's heart disappear.
Before it was completed, he was always worried that something would go wrong, but now he could finally wait for the children to be born with peace of mind.
Deep in her consciousness, Mira's information had long since undergone earth-shaking changes.
[Name]: Mira Kent [Gender]: Female [Lifespan]: 3600 [Bloodline]: Superman (Bronze) [Talent]: Steel Body (Bronze), Stellar Energy (Passive), Bio-field (Passive) [Ability]: Heat Vision (Bronze) · LV1 [Evaluation]: A newly born female Superman
Mira had successively awakened the new racial talent 'Bio-field', as well as the 'Heat Vision' ability.
Perhaps because she was pregnant and didn't have too much large-scale exercise, skills like 'Flight' and 'Freeze Breath' had yet to be awakened.
The six-piece set of Steel Body belonging to her, the levels were: [Steel Body (Bronze): Super Strength (Bronze) · LV2, Super Agility (Bronze) · LV2, Super Physique (Bronze) · LV2, Super Senses (Bronze) · LV3, Super Brain (Bronze) · LV3, Super Healing (Bronze) · LV2]
As a newly born female Superman, Mira's overall ability level was not high, and the improvement was not as fast as Shawn's.
It could be seen that on the basis of the all-around blessing of 'Steel Body', Mira had more talent in 'Super Senses' and 'Super Brain'.
It didn't matter if the improvement was slow now, Shawn still had a special move.
[Partner Bloodline Transformation: Bind a unique partner. When engaging in reproductive activities, both sides will benefit from it. After the transformation is complete, reproductive activities can still continuously improve the partner's bloodline strength.]
After unloading the cargo, his perfect partner talent could continue to shine.
"Silly, why have you been staring at me?"
Mira blinked playfully at Shawn, skillfully picked up food with chopsticks, and after tasting a bite, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face, "The taste is great, your craft makes me feel like I'm in heaven, as if I've forgotten all the unpleasantness."
The Superman bloodline was fully awakened, and she now possessed a long life.
In the future, these gluttonous desires for food and drink could at most be considered a small hobby for the two, a small embellishment of life.
"Haha, so that means there is still something unpleasant?"
Shawn chewed slowly, hearing the subtext, "Still thinking about what just happened?"
Mira puffed up her mouth: "As the founders of the 'House of Superman', Dalton and Brad had no problem with their original intention. They shouldn't have to suffer such harassment. The reason those people who are making trouble in the dark are so unscrupulous is that they calculated that Superman wouldn't contact them."
Shawn thought it made sense: "At the end of the day, the spearhead of these incidents is pointed at me. If I don't do something, it will not only dampen the enthusiasm of fans who support Superman, but also make bad people worse and do more bottomless things."
There is no morality for villains.
If you take one step back, they will advance ten steps.
Today they can hold signs to protest and slander, tomorrow they can break into homes to rob. Since it's like this, can murder and arson be far behind?
Taking a step back, the Super Power Family System was already strongly associated with Superman's identity. Letting the situation develop was indeed not a wise move.
Thinking of this, Shawn also understood Mira's concerns a bit, and he said: "It seems Superman needs to speak for himself!"
"Exactly!"
Mira nodded vigorously, "Give our supporting fans some motivation, and also give the evildoers some deterrence!"
Shawn nodded in affirmation and tapped his fingers on the table: "Eat, the food is getting cold."
"..."
Mira didn't know that because of the couple's conversation, a movement came from the depths of Shawn's consciousness again.
The system had work to do.
