Chapter 177 Chapter 177 What are you talking about?
"I've always said that dreams are abstract. Something as specific as this question probably can't be predicted through dreams." Number 666 wasn't surprised by the result. "So, you better wake up tomorrow morning and study diligently."
However... Benjamin was able to remember such clear details of the precognitive dream without knowing magic, which shows that Benjamin is much better than Li Hua in terms of inspiration.
It's a pity that this idiot doesn't learn magic.
Li Hua said with a sad face: "Even if you want to review, you have to know what to review."
Batman provided so many textbooks without any division of subjects, and the range of majors was so wide that he had no idea how to review them.
Benjamin: "Jason, can you help us highlight the key points?"
Jason held his head in agony. "There's nothing I can do. I've never gotten the answer right before. The only solution is to memorize everything."
Batman highlighted the key points, which are "directed inspections." If there are no highlights, then all of them are key points.
After all, enemies and dangers don't act according to priorities.
Jason rolled over and lay down next to Benjamin. "I just don't believe that the three of us can't have a dream that predicts the key points of the exam. Come on, Li Hua, play the [Dream] card!"
Five minutes later, Jason woke up and said to everyone's anticipation, "I also dreamt of two scenes. The first was the day Bruce came. Ben was buying slushies at the slushie shop he often went to and found that there was a sale that day."
Benjamin cheered, “Yeah!”
Li Hua: "Oh my goodness! Although the time is right, the content of the dream is still wrong!
No. 666: That’s why I said that there is no shortcut in learning.
"At least I remember it! It's better than you who can't remember the content of your dream, right?" Jason argued. "Besides, it's not like I only saw one scene... The second scene was Ultraman standing in the city."
".......What?"
"Actually, I don't know if that was Ultraman, and I can't remember exactly what I saw. As No. 666 said, dreams are abstract. Anyway, I just remember the image of a giant humanoid figure standing in the city, embracing good."
"It sounds like a giant." Benjamin excitedly turned to Li Hua beside him, "Really? You think it's a giant too!"
Li Hua: "...Yeah."
It should be...Benjamin's Colossal Giant...right?
He hopes so.
Benjamin was so moved that he thrashed about on the bed, rolling around like a big, lively carp, and screaming and cheering.
Although it is not appropriate to use Colossal Giant in the urban area, the news that Colossal Giant, the former son of the version, has returned is still enough to excite him.
"No way, Ben can really turn into Ultraman?" Jason, the legendary meal replacement king, exerted his strength again. He smacked his lips in surprise. "Ben, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Benjamin: "I have more abilities than you can imagine. I'll show you when I get a chance."
Li Hua: "Translated, it means he can't transform now."
Benjamin complained loudly, "Li Hua! Can't you just let me show off for a while?"
No. 666 listened to the three kids having a pillow fight without any reaction.
Presumably, these three people will soon find out that their struggles will not affect their upcoming grand pre-exam risks at all.
......
When Bruce arrived, he found that the three children were a little listless, obviously they had fought hard for today's exam.
In order not to let the children's preparation go to waste, Bruce, who was deeply moved, took out some difficult test questions.
Unexpectedly, the test results were better than Bruce had expected. Bruce was well aware of the scope of the questions he had set, and this was not something that could be achieved by simply cramming.
Even though you've been messing around, you haven't forgotten your job...
Young people have such great energy.
After explaining the wrong questions to the children and arranging a new study plan, Bruce did not leave as the children looked forward to the end of get out of class. Instead, he said to Benjamin:
"Damian is very interested in your children and has repeatedly expressed his desire to meet you and them. I promised Damian that if he behaves well this week, I will invite you, Li Hua, and the Ice Ghost cubs to spend the weekend at the manor. Of course, whether you agree or not depends on your willingness."
To avoid putting pressure on his children due to his parental status, Bruce added: "After all, he didn't even ask me when he put my helmet on his head and said he would replace me as Batman sooner or later."
"Bruce…are you okay?"
When the shadow of the exam dissipated, Li Hua realized that Bruce, the calm man who in his heart could sit at the same table with the dean of studies, now had a tired look on his face, and a hint of death.
It's like coming home after a busy day and finding that your dog has made new decorations in your house, and you have lost most of your energy and skills.
The strength and means he retained were not due to his strength, but because he knew that he had to clean up this mess.
However, just as I was secretly making up my mind to clean up, the howling dog jumped back and forth nearby, creating more ruins and calling the neighbors to complain about the disturbance...
That's pretty much how Bruce feels now.
"I'm fine," Bruce said. "You can give me your answer by the end of Friday night patrol."
Jason: "Are you sure Damian won't attack them?"
Bruce: "Damian promised me. Although we all know that Damian's actions and logic are different from those of ordinary people, he has a very high self-esteem and will not go back on his word."
"His ego is bigger than his height," Jason muttered. "What if we don't go back this weekend?"
Bruce: "Then I'll come to see you. Azmis said your next exam will be this Saturday, and I'll send you the teleportation wristbands then."
"Another exam this weekend? We just finished the last dungeon!" Li Hua protested. "We just finished beating Crazy Superman, and now we're going to take on a higher-difficulty dungeon?"
Bruce: "It was two weeks ago that you went to Universe-1."
The day after Li Hua and others returned, the Justice League set out to the universe to deal with Doomsday, which took a total of five days.
Bruce spent four days handling family matters on his own, with several older children watching him.
Jason returned to the manor to deal with the family incident caused by Damian, while Li Hua and Benjamin were busy with the Mars activities on two parallel lines. As of today, it took a total of five days.
A total of exactly 14 days.
I feel like time goes by too fast, purely because these kids are so intense!
Li Hua counted on his fingers and found that it was exactly as Bruce said.
It was amazing. Although the break seemed long at first glance, he felt like he hadn't rested at all. He felt like the holiday had slipped away like sand through his fingers in the blink of an eye.
"And this mission won't be difficult," Bruce said. "Azmis's email mentioned that this exam will focus on observation. The goal is to allow you to experience the wonders of the parallel universe firsthand. You'll automatically return after staying there for a set period of time."
Li Hua was suspicious: "There's actually a problem this time?"
He was so good at answering questions in the first two exams that he said he didn't give them any questions, but this time he suddenly gave them... Is there any trickery going on?
Is it possible that my future self is planning to do something new for myself?
Could it be that the real purpose of this assessment is extreme survival?
Bruce: "Azmis said it was to improve the efficiency of the exam."
Jason: "He must have taken a detour in the last few exams...but who can be blamed? Who told him to keep his words to himself? We don't have brains as smart as the people from Galvan."
With such a bad temper, it’s no wonder that his second-generation assistants don’t want to hang out with him anymore.
"Ah, Azmis just loves to be sulky, you'll just get used to it," Benjamin said. "Since we have exams this weekend, I think we can go back to Wayne Manor. Damian wants to play with the kids, and they're not too far apart in age, so it's a good opportunity for them to work off some excess energy while we take the exams. Li Hua, what do you think?"
Li Hua: "I have no objection."
Jason: "Are you sure you can? Ben, that precognitive dream you had might have been Damian trying to steal your girlfriend. From what you described, he even had a knife."
Bruce: ?
Wait, what's this prophetic dream? What's this knife?
Is there anything else your little group can do that I don't know about?
Benjamin wasn't worried. "The child in the dream had no ill intentions. Besides, I believe my children can easily handle a battle of that level."
He had heard Jason talk about Damian's "achievements." To be fair, Damian was quite capable, but were his children any less capable?
Benjamin loves his children, but he does not ignore their own strengths because of his love, nor does he prevent them from socializing and growing.
Benjamin had not only been a human, but also a Nakfuji, and he knew best the abilities and physical strength of the Nakfuji.
Isn't it just a fight? Damian is only seven years old. Even if the enemy is as ferocious as Killer Croc, his children can handle it easily!
Benjamin: "If I have to say, I'm actually worried about what might happen to Damian after he gets beaten."
Bruce nodded: "I was worried about that at first."
As the person who contributed a Batmobile, several bat darts, and some metal to the Ice Ghost Cub, how could Bruce not know the abilities of the Ice Ghost Cub?
But Damian is a person who will not turn back until he hits the wall. In simple terms, the more he is told not to do something, the more he will do it.
Jason: "If I had just told Damian, 'You can't beat the baby, and you might get beaten up by the baby, so don't mess with the baby,' then there might be a frozen delivery on the way to Lazarus Pond in an hour."
Benjamin nodded. "From my personal experience, for children with a strong desire to explore, it's better to encourage them to explore than to be restrained. Since we're all so worried about children having problems socializing on their own, we parents should proactively build bridges of communication and help them establish friendships with their playmates. Socialization training is also an integral part of a child's development."
"You're becoming more and more like a responsible mom, Ben."
Li Hua ignored Benjamin's protest, "I am!" and wiped away the nonexistent tears from his eyes with relief. After his acting urges wore off, he spoke.
"But I must warn you, Damian's eloquence is comparable to Jason's, without children around him and without the restrictions on his speech. Furthermore, his cognition operates in a strange way. I hope you won't be caught off guard by him."
Benjamin puffed out his chest. "What a joke! I'm not bragging. I just hold myself back in front of kids. I've never lost a single trash-talking match since I was a kid! How could I possibly talk down to a seven-year-old?"
.......
I regret it.
Benjamin was heartbroken.
No one told me before I came here that this is what I would hear!
Damian: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"No... no, I do." Benjamin felt as if there was a ball of steel wool spinning at high speed in his head. "Sorry, my otherworldly English translator might be malfunctioning. I didn't hear what you just said. Could you please say it again?"
They are all in English, so is there any difference between the different worlds?
Damian didn't understand, but he repeated it anyway.
"You have to deal with the severe setbacks of underage pregnancy and childbirth alone due to not finding the right partner or romantic disappointment during the weakened postpartum period. At the same time, you also need solid training and superhero activities. I believe that for the healthy growth and development of the Ice Ghost cub, as a mother, you must first ensure your own physical and mental health."
"Considering you don't have the powerful local influence my mother possesses, you won't be able to find someone to take care of and educate your children in the short term. But don't worry, because I—Damian Wayne, the future successor to the League of Assassins and the future heir to the Batman mantle—can serve as your offspring's mentor. Although you'll still need to travel back and forth to the sun every day to pick them up due to the Ice Ghost cubs' unique feeding habits, compared to now, you'll have more time to adjust yourself."
"What do you think?"
Benjamin calmly understood Damian's words word by word, fell into silence, thought calmly, and came to a conclusion calmly.
Well, there really is something wrong with the Omnitrix's automatic translation module.
Otherwise, how could he understand every word of the above passage, but have no idea what it was saying when they were put together?
-----------------------
The author has something to say: [Small Theater] Is this universe a mud truck universe?
Benjamin: The last time someone used words to create this for me was by Jason... Is this a family tradition?
Jason: That's not right. The last time you were created was when Dick asked you at the dinner table if you could theoretically give birth to the entire universe, right?
Dick: That's similar to what Bruce did once before. Ben's transformation into a magical boy took an entire night to break.
Bruce: But it wasn't me who watched the villain's dance tape, it was Tim.
Tim: Li Hua also did that time. He directly asked Benjamin whether the ghost tearing his skin in his nightmare was equivalent to a striptease. I think he was also confused.
Benjamin:
【Catch the bug twice】
