Chapter 131 Chapter 131 The cub is not angry...
Students didn't have to go to school on Saturday, and the old butler Alfred didn't come to wake them up. Naturally, Tim went wild in bed and slept like a sloth for nine and a half hours.
Although it was a very enjoyable sleep, the calories from yesterday's dinner had been completely consumed after a night of intense activity. Tim had to leave his warm bed because of his hungry stomach and dizzy head due to sleeping too much.
Tim took out his bedside cell phone and checked the time. Breakfast was over, but it was not lunch time yet, so he planned to go downstairs to find some snacks to fill his stomach.
Although Alfred always disapproved of eating snacks before meals, he hadn't eaten breakfast and was so tired last night. Tim believed that as long as he was careful, the soft-hearted old butler would turn a blind eye.
At this time, Alfred must be busy preparing lunch in the kitchen. If Tim went in directly to get snacks, it would be too obvious, so Tim prepared to activate the backup hidden energy.
Yesterday, when Tim was carrying his computer to the training room to talk to Li Hua and the others, he had an energy bar that he bought from the school vending machine. Tim then left the energy bar there just for this moment of redemption!
All of this was orchestrated by the third generation Robin. It was definitely not because Tim took out the energy bar and was about to eat it when Alfred knocked on the door and said that dinner was ready, which scared him so much that he hid it. It was definitely not the case.
Tim quickly found the energy bar he had hidden in the gym, swallowed it in a few bites, put the packaging bag in his pocket, and walked downstairs as if nothing had happened, ready to find a place to destroy the "evidence".
As he walked through the corridor, Tim caught a glimpse of a dark figure passing by the window at a very fast speed from the corner of his eye.
Tim: ?
What?
When Tim was about to walk to the window to check, another black shadow flew past the window as fast as a cannonball.
Now Tim could see clearly that it was an ice ghost cub.
I saw a giant slingshot appeared in the yard at some point. Li Hua, surrounded by ice ghost cubs, stood in front of the slingshot and launched the ice ghost cubs one by one into the distance with the slingshot.
Tim saw several cubs flying back from where the "cannonball" had landed. Not only did they not feel depressed or scared about being ejected like cannonballs, but they squeaked excitedly and lined up around Li Hua again, as if they wanted their godfather to launch them again.
Tim: “…”
Taking care of children is really a technical job. After not seeing them for a few days, Li Hua and his friends have changed the way they play games with the cubs from SpongeBob catching jellyfish to Angry Birds.
To explain why the style of things changed from an ice sculpture exhibition to "Angry Birds", we have to start with Dick.
Building houses is an instinct that has been ingrained into human DNA since infancy. After Dick joined, Li Hua and others carried out a more thorough division of labor.
Dick went and brought a wheelbarrow and pump to the pool to "fill" it with more building materials.
Jason took Benjamin to Alfred to ask for a few empty plastic buckets to hold water, and then moved them to the swimming pool to fill it with water.
Before leaving with Jason, Benjamin transformed into Swampfire and used the plants he stimulated to create a giant slingshot in the yard.
While the three went to carry water, Li Hua stayed where he was, using a huge slingshot to launch the ice ghost cubs in line into the sky one by one. He took care of the children before others finished their work, and also exercised at the same time.
Obviously, both slingshots and Angry Birds are particularly popular toys and games.
Watching Li Hua operating the huge slingshot to launch the happy cubs into the sky one by one, Tim also felt a little itchy. Based on the principle of "It's not easy for Li Hua to take care of the kids alone, I'll go and lend a hand", he quickly walked down the stairs, intending to try his hand at "The Not Angry Cub" as well.
But before touching the huge slingshot, Tim first saw a crystal clear ice fortress, next to which was an ice sculpture of the Batmobile, which was also made of ice.
Unlike the real Batmobile, the driver of this ice-sculptured Batmobile is neither Batman nor Robin, but a cartoon character in the shape of a paper cup straw with a cheerful smile and unintelligent eyes. The character sticks its head (or the cup lid and the lower part of the cup?) out of the Batmobile, posing as if to greet the newcomers.
The passenger in the passenger seat of the Batmobile who also stuck his head and body out of the car was Tim's old acquaintance - Doraemon.
He just slept in, so how come Wayne Manor not only has "Angry Birds" but also a fantasy-related ice sculpture exhibition?
"Good morning, Li Hua." Tim continued walking forward and finally encountered Li Hua, who was launching cubs into the air. "Can I try this?"
"Of course!" Li Hua was happy to finally have a break and immediately made room for Tim.
"Is this slingshot alive?"
After getting his hands on it, Tim discovered that the huge slingshot was not installed on the ground, but grew directly out of the ground. The main body was a hard plant with roots, and even the tough vines wrapped around it were fresh, and the leaves had not fallen off yet.
"Yeah, swampfire did it."
Li Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Tim.
"You can fire in a few different directions, just avoid windows and trees. They've been invisible for a lot of time today, so they might not be able to react and crash into them."
Tim adjusted the slingshot's firing angle and launched another cub. "So you usually shoot them at objects?"
Is this too dangerous for the baby?
Li Hua: "No, in the past we would launch bat darts or other metal objects and let them become invisible to chase or dig."
Tim looked down at the cute ice ghost cub in his hand.
I never thought that the cub in my hand can not only be a jellyfish, an angry bird, but also a hunting dog.
Li Hua: "I know this sounds outrageous, but even wild Nakfuji can use intangibility to dive into the ice or permafrost to search for metal food. They'll have to return to Kelmis one day. Although I don't plan to just release the children once we get back, I don't want them to lose the skills they're supposed to have, so some wild training is still necessary."
Tim stretched out his index finger and scratched the cub's chin. "They're not even two months old yet. Isn't it too early to start wilding... independent training?"
Li Hua sighed: "That's what I said, but Ben is very persistent on this point. The Nakfuji people have a long lifespan, Tim. They are considered adults at eighty years old, and Ben is already 15 this year..."
Tim fell silent. He could understand the source of Benjamin's worry.
How many eighty years can mankind have?
Not to mention Benjamin, a superhero in a high-risk industry. Benjamin's universe itself was about to face a crisis, and whether it could overcome it was unknown. It was said that the universe was always in danger, and almost all of them were handled by Benjamin.
I guess Benjamin just hopes that his children can learn survival skills and take care of themselves.
Benjamin doesn't plan for his own career, but he will seriously plan for his children's future... It's really pitiful to see the love of parents in the world.
Tim was sighing when Li Hua continued, "...So if Benjamin can't convince his parents to let him stop going to school, he'll have to devote himself to preparing for the college entrance exam, which will make it hard to find time. And it's impossible to teach the Nakfuji people eighty years of knowledge in two years. Now is the time to teach as much as you can, so that he won't be bullied by his peers when he goes to Kelmis."
Tim: “…”
He was thinking too much.
In fact, Benjamin had never thought about the theory of lifespan. Even before he knew he could transform into an Anor, he had never thought about it. He even destroyed the Fountain of Youth with his own hands.
Please note that the Fountain of Youth here is from the universe of Benjamin's hometown. It has no side effects and no mental pollution. It is not the same as a certain green three-no pool in the local area.
Benjamin has always been optimistic and not good at planning, nor is he good at worrying about distant things that have not happened yet.
He knew so many alien friends, most of whom had lived longer than himself. If he continued to fantasize about this and that, would he still be able to live? Moreover, not to mention his other friends, there was a theory of life expectancy among his own blood family.
As long as the life you have experienced is wonderful enough and there are no regrets, that is enough. As for other things, they will be resolved when they are needed, so just live in the present.
Li Hua and Jason also have this idea. Perhaps this is the secret to their happiness and constant fun.
"By the way, do you want a Coke?" Li Hua said, "If you want one, I'll get it for you from the Iceberg."
Tim couldn't free his hands as he was firing the cub, so he tilted his head to look at the Coke on the ground next to him: "Can't I drink the stuff in there?"
Li Hua: "That Coke that's thawing from its ice block. Ben looked up a method for making slushy by hand online and insisted on trying it. I wish him success."
Tim saw some strange-looking fruits next to the Coke: "What are those fruits?"
"I saw it with my Kryptonian clairvoyance when I picked up the kids, and I brought it back with me." Benjamin excitedly introduced the buckets of water to Tim while pushing a cart. "Do you want to try them? I asked Jason and No. 666 to check, and they're all non-toxic!"
Behind Benjamin, Jason quietly leaned his head out and shook it gently twice.
Benjamin loves slush, but he is not actually a slush "fundamentalist". He has always been keen on trying various new slush flavors.
He even tried pouring pickle juice into the slush. When Jason discovered this, he specifically asked No. 666 if it was because Benjamin's hormones had not yet fully recovered after the Ice Ghost was born. In the end, it turned out that Benjamin simply wanted to try a new flavor.
"Hey guys, I have a new idea!"
Just as Tim was thinking about how to politely decline Benjamin's invitation, his good brother Dick came from the yard pushing another cart full of water. When he saw him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled even more.
"Tim, you're here too?"
Tim: "Dick? Why are you here too?"
It looks like Dick has been busy for a while. Why does Dick get up so early on a Saturday?
Why are all the Wayne family members here? How many people are there?
Jason turned his gaze towards Li Hua: "What else could it be? Of course it's the magic boy."
Benjamin nodded. "Digging magic, so terrifying."
Li Hua: ...
"I already told you I don't have any such thing as digging magic!"
