Chapter 129 Chapter 129 My Dream COS
"Li Hua, please promise me you won't become a villain someday," Benjamin said. "If you have any unhappiness or frustration, you can always talk to us. Don't keep it bottled up."
Li Hua: "...Is it that serious?"
Benjamin nodded. “I think that’s the case.”
Benjamin used to think that the most sinister villains he had ever seen were Vilgax and The Shade. After coming to the DC Universe, his worldview and social outlook were forced to be completely refreshed.
Not only is he refreshed by the villains of this universe, but he is also refreshed by his new teammates.
Look at his two new teammates. Jason plays the tactical prop flow, and he is more cunning than Benjamin and Li Hua combined; Li Hua plays the ghost-animal flow that can be controlled freely, focusing on inflicting humiliating mental crits on the enemy.
Before working with Li Hua and Jason, Benjamin had never felt so sincerely that he was a well-behaved child, nor had he ever felt that his old rivals still had a trace of morality left.
Of course, it is also possible that there are physiological and cultural generation gaps between different species, but Benjamin refused to think deeply about this issue.
"If it were any other time, I'd say, 'This Benjamin is just lame,' but now I have to admit, Ben has a point." Jason put his arm around Li Hua's shoulder and said earnestly, "After all, no one wants you to add a new experience to their life."
Dick's smile was about to fade, so he tried to suggest, "Tim will be home soon, why don't we change the subject to something more suitable for children?"
As the only adult present who could perform supervisory functions, Dick hoped that the children could steer the conversation away from certain places or parts that were not suitable for describing to minors.
"Why are you so nervous? Could it be that Tim has also come from Zigong to the world like Benjamin?"
Jason felt that what Dick said was really unnecessary.
Tim was only two years older than him, and if you didn't count the time Jason spent in the coffin, that was one year younger than Tim.
With such a small age gap, what could Jason say that Tim couldn't? Dick clearly had other intentions, reminding them to be careful with their words.
Jason still remembers that when he and Dick watched movies at home, whenever the TV camera showed intimate scenes, Dick's smile would freeze on his face, and he would cover his eyes with one hand and press the fast-forward button with the other.
Dick smiled meaningfully. "You'll understand when you grow up. This is the responsibility of an adult guardian."
Protect children's physical and mental health.
Don't laugh at me, Jason. When we were watching the live broadcast of Magic Daddy, your reaction of covering Tim's eyes was faster than mine.
Sooner or later you will become like me.
The loving look in his older brother's eyes, as if he were looking at some furry creature, sent a chill down Jason's spine. He rubbed the nonexistent goosebumps on his arms and turned to his two friends, saying, "I suddenly remembered we have to take care of the kids tomorrow. Why don't we go back to bed?"
Li Hua: "Wait a minute, I just realized I have enough experience points to draw another card. Ben, I promised you that you would draw this time. Do you have any requirements for the special effects and background music?"
Li Hua figured that after drawing the cards before bed, he could spend the night thinking about how to use the new cards to raise the children tomorrow. The Ice Ghost cubs were now much older and more energetic than before, so he couldn't handle them without some tricks.
Even in the one and a half months of taking care of the child, Li Hua's physical fitness and reaction ability have been greatly improved.
Because you never know what a baby with a strong desire to explore will do, especially a fourteen-year-old baby who can fly and has super powers.
Benjamin said, "No, I've been a little allergic to the combination of the Batcave, special effects, and background music lately. I'll just choose the same card drawing method as Bruce. I believe that true luck won't be affected by these metaphysical factors. Now, No. 666, you can start."
Dick had never seen a magic card draw before, so he came over curiously and said, "I thought only Li Hua could draw cards?"
Jason made room for Dick. "Bruce has also done it, so besides the answer of 'Li Hua can partially transfer the right to draw the card,' you can also choose to believe that Bruce is a mature magician."
Li Hua stood in front of Benjamin with his palms clasped together. Benjamin stood there silently for five seconds and then shouted "Stop!"
Li Hua opened his hand, and a new card with its back facing up appeared in his palm. He turned the front of the card over to check it, and then fell silent.
"What brand?"
Benjamin leaned forward to take a look, and then he also fell silent in front of the freshly baked magic card.
Dick: "Is this also a necessary procedure for the ceremony?"
"No, it's obvious that I've drawn a card that's quite shocking in some way." Jason quickly stepped forward and took a look. The capital letters on the scroll below the card clearly read:
[THE WATHERY]
[Water] card, a major element card in the Clow deck alongside [Wind], [Earth] and [Fire].
"What did I say?" Li Hua put away the cards in his hand and said to Jason, "I told you long ago that this is the power of the superhero's merits at work!"
Otherwise, how do we explain Bruce drawing out [Earth], Jason drawing out [Wind], and Benjamin drawing out [Water]?
This explosion rate is not just amazing, it is terrifying!
As someone who initially believed that "luck conservation rate" was the principle behind card drawing, Jason tried to defend himself: "Maybe No. 666 thought you had too few cards on hand, so he provided you with a little help?"
"I didn't!" Public number 666 said righteously on the microphone, "You can insult Li Hua's aesthetics and Li Hua's integrity, but you cannot insult my professional ethics!"
Saying that an intelligent AI falsifies data and uses a black box approach in its calculations is like suspecting that the owner of a Tianjin pancake stall puts milk powder in the batter, that the owner of a Henan spicy soup shop puts chocolate in the spicy soup, or that the owner of a Northeastern dumpling shop puts strawberries in the dumplings. It's pure nonsense!
"Also, there's no such thing as the law of conservation of merit or luck in this draw. It's all about probability." Number 666's electronic voice actually held a hint of anguish. "Have you ever considered that the cards Li Hua drew incorrectly actually reduced the likelihood of others drawing incorrectly?"
Li Hua had already pulled out so many auxiliary cards. Aren’t most of the remaining cards in the card pool the practical, offensive, and elemental cards he had always wanted?
No. 666: "So what does this have to do with those vague, unfounded metaphysical things? I won't tell a beginner like you, who hasn't even figured out the definition of magic, to believe in science, but please at least believe in math."
Li Hua: "...Why am I still studying math when I'm already a magic boy?"
"How can you calculate the potion ratio if you don't learn math? What if you make mistakes in calculating or drawing a magic circle if you don't learn geometry?"
No. 666 said.
"Magic and science are two different branches chosen by humans in the process of exploring and transforming the world, but their essence is the same, and of course they have many things in common."
Li Hua held his breath and concentrated, and finally heard those tiny voices in the gap between No. 666's words. They all called out "study".
...How could this be!
He is obviously not in school anymore, so why was he chased by chemistry and biology knowledge in the sewer before, and now he is being chased by mathematics?
Li Hua thought again of the pile of textbooks Bruce had given him, which were full of practical information without any water. He suddenly had the illusion of drowning in the sea of knowledge and his vision went dark.
Why does it sound like he has more to learn even though he's not in school anymore?
…
The next day was Saturday, which meant Dick could have a nice lie-in.
Perhaps because he had been under too much pressure recently, Dick had a strange dream.
He dreamed that he was wearing the original Nightwing uniform and standing on an endless snowy mountain. The wind mixed with snowflakes blew towards him, and inexplicably familiar music came faintly from a distant place.
Even though the chest of the original Nightwing's uniform was wide open, the blowing wind and snow only brought Dick a slight chill and comfort that was neither painful nor itchy.
Behind Dick, there was a dark city standing there quietly. No matter how long Dick walked, the distance between it and Dick never changed.
It’s so close, as if I could just walk back in fifteen minutes and get back there; yet it’s so far, as if I wouldn’t have the courage to come out again once I go back.
Dick had an idea in his mind that there was a direction ahead that was worth moving towards, even though he didn't know the specific location of that place, but he had never felt so free.
I don’t know how long I walked, maybe just a few hours, or maybe several years.
Against the blow of the wind and snow, Dick finally stopped on a vast snowfield and suddenly felt that this place was a little empty.
Dick looked at the endless empty snowfield in front of him, and loneliness and snowstorms swept over him.
Dick looked back and saw that the black city in the distance was still there quietly. It kept a rough distance from Dick and was within his sight when he turned around.
He could always see Dick's every move, but he never said a word.
But Dick knew what he wanted to say. He wanted to say, "Look, you can't take care of yourself, so come back."
Dick suddenly felt a nameless anger in his heart. He raised his middle finger towards the dark city and sang along with the music: "Fuck Batman! Fuck Batman——"
As Dick sang and spun, the snowfield beneath his feet spread out into a floor and walls made of blue ice crystals with Dick's standing point as the center, supporting Dick and slowly rising.
Ice crystals spread around as Dick moved his hands and feet. When Dick's singing came to an end, Dick was already standing on the top of a newly built blue city, looking at the black city side by side, his heart filled with joy.
Only then did Dick realize what the melody that had been lingering in his ears was.
Isn’t this “Let It Go”?
Dick's consciousness was pulled out of the dream. In a half-awake state, he was thinking about why he was cosplaying as Elsa in the dream, but suddenly he noticed a strange rustling sound coming from the window!
Dick threw back the quilt and picked up the bedside lamp. As soon as he opened the heavy curtains, he sneezed in the cool breeze and woke up completely.
A crystal ice castle was right in front of Dick's window. Li Hua, riding on a flying stick, was holding a fluttering ice ghost cub in his hand. The ice ghost cub was holding a mobile phone in his hand, and "Let It Go" was playing on the phone in a loop.
Dick: “…”
He found out the reason why he cosplayed Frozen in his dream.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Let me tell you how weird Benjamin’s cards are. This guy is the weirdest one I have ever drawn.
He opened the game with a [Water], and I was stunned for a moment, wondering if I had just played a [Wind] and then a [Water] would make me look too deliberate and the plot would be difficult to push, so I drew again.
Still [water].
Me: ? No, again? ? ? ? (This is also mentioned and recorded by the author of Jason's [Wind] card chapter. This guy also drew the same card twice in a row in his first draw.)
Then the weird part came.
Next is [snow][freeze].
I:? ? ?
Me: Why are they all related to water? Is Benjamin a water-type Pokémon?
Me: Why! Is it because this guy likes to drink slush?
The story ends here, and the nature of the card draw has changed. The next night, when I thought about it, I drew it again - [wave]
Me: ??? I just don’t believe it! [Angry]
[Fog], a grand appearance!
Me: ??? Benjamin, you’re cheating, right?!
Friends and relatives: I suspect Benjamin is right next to you watching you draw the card.
Me: I just silently thought “what Benjamin draws” before drawing the card.
Friends and relatives: If there were a snow mud card, you would probably draw that one every time.
Me: Uh… maybe Li Hua does have a “mud” card in his hand, which is the ground… (bushi)
Friends and relatives: grass (a kind of plant)
Me: I'm really impressed. Benjamin's cards are all water-type. Li Hua's card draws weren't that extreme (he drew three fight cards. After I said, "Fight cards aren't working well right now, why don't you try another one," he drew a sword card, but they weren't consecutive - I still gave him the fight card after seeing it).
Friends and relatives: So it’s really hard for him to tell you that he wants to eat snow mud, and the child is almost dying of greed.
Me: ...Give him [water]. Oh, I give up. All the elemental cards were drawn by these superheroes. It really is a guaranteed first draw, right?
Friends and family: You - "Benjamin, what do you want to smoke?", Ben - "Snow mud"
I:......
Friends and relatives: It's like a Ouija board where you point your hands at words.
Friends and Family: Benjamin - "I've made it clear enough"
Me: If he wants to drink slush, he can go buy it himself! How can I buy it for him?
Friends and relatives: Maybe they hope you can write two more cups for him in your article.
Me:........Okay.
When I was writing this chapter today, I said: I don’t believe it anymore, let’s try it again and see! I don’t believe it anymore——
[Bubble] cards.
I:
Me: What a coincidence, I didn’t shuffle the cards!
The [Water] card makes its grand appearance.
I:
Benjamin's record: three waters, snow, ice, fog, waves, and bubbles.
Friends and family: Where does he get so much water? Or is he lacking water in his five elements? Benjamin lacks water in his five elements? ...That can't be the case, right?
Me: No idea!
