Chapter 195 Chapter 195 Classic Quotes
I don’t know if it was because of Dr. Contradiction’s efforts, or because Azmis’s time-space jump device had calculated everything, but this timeline-distorted exam only took the equivalent of three days at Wayne Manor.
"What does a father in another world look like?"
It was late at night when Li Hua and others came back yesterday. Damian was already asleep, and the three of them were so tired that they fell asleep immediately.
It wasn't until the morning, when Damian, who had gotten up early to exercise, met Benjamin, who had gotten up early to pick up his child, that he learned that the Ice Ghost Cub Experience Card had expired.
Benjamin certainly didn't get up of his own accord, but what could he do? Sleep deprivation and a baby were a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
After three days of caring for 14 energetic Ice Ghost pups, Damian wasn't particularly sad about the expiration of his experience card. He was more curious about what the parallel world looked like.
He was particularly interested in: "What does the Batman of another world look like?"
"It's huge," Benjamin, who was buried by the child, replied. "Very, very big. When Li Hua wakes up, you can ask him to conjure a scale model so you can see the Batman from another world."
"Come to think of it, do you still want to play with the Ice Ghost cubs? It's a perfect way to kill time..."
Before Benjamin could finish his words, the back of Damian’s head turned to face him.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford to raise the children; it was simply that raising fourteen Nakfuji cubs was too much of a burden. Even someone as energetic as Damian couldn't sustain the physical prowess of the Nakfuji, who were born capable of space travel.
At the beginning, Damian had the selfish intention of training the Ice Ghost cub. He originally planned to use the next few days to teach the Ice Ghost cub some simple skills.
But Damian overestimated his parenting skills and underestimated the stubborn nature of the Ice Ghost cub.
The Nakfuji cubs are indeed more intelligent than babies of the same age on Earth, but whether they are willing to use this intelligence, where they will use it, and whether they are willing to listen to Damian... are not certain.
Give up playing and just listen to the class? No way. Not only do they skip classes when bored, but they also turn invisible and play hide-and-seek at the slightest disagreement, leaving Damian scooping up moths all over the manor with a net. Once he'd retrieve one, the others had flown away, and when he turned around, the moth in the net was gone too.
Scolding? That assumes they can understand it! What could a newborn, whose language logic hasn't even fully developed, understand? Scolding that only the speaker can understand and comprehend isn't scolding; it's a stand-up comedy talent show.
Since Damian took on the job of taking care of the ice ghost cubs himself, he was too embarrassed to ask others for help. He could only carry a scoop net and work hard every morning to catch moths in various places in Wayne Manor.
Unlike Damian who struggles with the pain of parenting, the other members of the Wayne family enjoy it. If the bushes in Wayne Manor had consciousness, they would probably bloom a few flowers to celebrate.
Because Damian didn't need to chop bushes for morning exercise, nor did he need to look for trouble because of his high energy. The physical exertion of using a human body to resist 14 Nakfuji cubs far exceeded his daily training volume.
During these three days, Damian was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, and he had no energy to do any extra work.
On the other hand, Bruce was finally able to sleep peacefully until three in the afternoon. Tim was even more worried that Damian would regret it, so he took advantage of this free time to go out on a date with his girlfriend Stephanie and have fun. Alfred...
In fact, ever since Damian promised Bruce to respect Alfred and not to suddenly attack the people in the house and deliberately damage the furniture in the house, Alfred's workload and worries were greatly reduced.
After all, Alfred, the butler, was not on Damian's target list, and Damian had no reason to attack Alfred, the only permanent resident of the manor who was responsible for managing and handling all daily affairs of the manor - he also had to eat, okay?
However, seeing that the previously unruly young master was scratching his head in anxiety in front of the smaller ice ghost cubs, the old butler still felt a sense of satisfaction at having a small revenge.
Faced with the cruel reality, even Damian had to admit that raising children is indeed a highly difficult and intensive technical and physical job.
So it’s better to leave the matter of raising children to their biological parents, godfathers and godfathers. Damian will not accompany them anymore.
Benjamin, who knew how difficult it was to take care of his own children, was unable to do so for too long. After taking care of the child for two hours, he handed the child over to Li Hua, who had just woken up and come downstairs, and went back to sleep.
In response to Damian's question about "how big is the Batman from another world", Li Hua readily used the [Magic] cards to create a holographic projection for Damian to see for himself, and at the same time used the [Magic] cards as special effects to amuse the Ice Ghost cubs.
When the burly figure of the Batman from another world, over two meters tall even without armor, appeared, Damian, who was standing in front of "him", had to put his head against the back of his neck to see "him" in full view.
Although I had expected and heard that there were differences between different parallel universes, this difference was too big, wasn't it?
The Batman in this alternate universe is taller, stronger, and younger than his father.
Because of the recent social upheaval caused by information asymmetry and frequent misunderstandings about going abroad, Damian specifically asked Li Hua, "Are you sure you got the ratio right?"
"There's absolutely no way he's wrong. I carried him for quite a while!"
Li Hua was busy taking care of the ice ghost cubs and had no energy to explain the energy in the other world to Damian in detail, so he simply used the universal elixir for taking care of children - call forwarding!
"If you don't believe me, just wait until Jason wakes up. He took a photo with this Batman. My memory might be inaccurate, but your brother's height can't have increased by dozens of centimeters in just a few days, right?"
"By the way, I see you're exercising. Why not combine exercise with fun, and join the Ice Ghost cubs..."
Before Li Hua could finish his words, Damian turned around and disappeared from his sight.
"Is this Batman my father's alter ego?"
After seeing the photo on Jason's phone and deducing that the Batman from another world would be about two meters and one in height even without his battle suit, and seeing Jason nod, Damian asked.
"Then since they are both my fathers, why are their sizes so different?"
They are both Batman, so why is the Batman from another world so much taller than his father?
It can't be a nutrition problem. The Wayne family is rich and powerful, so it's impossible for his father to lack food.
Jason thought back to Bane, who had a similarly incredible size in the parallel universe. "Maybe it's a characteristic of the parallel universe."
Damian pressed on, "So, among all the Batmen you've seen in all the parallel universes, where does my father rank in terms of height?"
His father must not be the shortest one!
"After all, they're all Bruce, so they're probably about the same height. Like I said, this oversized Batman might be a feature of that parallel universe."
Damian pressed the issue again, "Have you ever asked the Batman from another world how he exercises and eats?"
For the same person to develop two completely different physiques, there must be variables that can have a positive effect on the physique.
Damian wants to find this variable and use it on himself, with the goal of becoming as strong as Batman from another world in the future.
"How should I know? I'm not his mother."
Jason brushed the loose hair on his forehead back and said.
"If that's the only reason you woke me up this morning, you can close the curtains and get out of my room."
Damian: "Tsk, it's already eight o'clock. The morning sets the tone for the day. You're so lazy, no wonder your father fired you."
"Who said I was fired? Are you using your devilish little brain to think automatically again?"
Jason, who was woken up early and had his sleepiness dispelled, became irritable and retorted.
"First of all, I didn't quit Robin because I was fired. I quit because I died. Do you know what that means? Bruce didn't fire me until I died."
"Secondly, you're not even eligible to be expelled because you've never been Robin. If the new generation of four Wayne children wanted to hold a Robin party, guess who wouldn't be invited? Oh—it's you!"
"Guess again, there's a transformation party happening in the manor right now. Who's the only one of your peers not invited? Oh, it's you again!"
Damian: “…”
Damian: "Todd, you're looking for death!"
........Well?
Bruce raised his head from the pillow when he heard the strange noise. After hearing the sound of fighting coming from Jason's room, he remembered that Damian didn't need to bring the ice ghost cubs today, so he decisively buried his head back in the pillow, covered his ears with the quilt and went back to sleep.
Based on Bruce's past experience, it was obvious that there was a dispute between Damian, who had been unsealed, and his brothers.
Experience tells Bruce that if children can resolve disputes among themselves, it is best for parents not to intervene.
There have been a lot of fights among the children at home recently. When the knowledgeable and experienced Batman heard the noise, he knew that the people fighting were holding back and not using weapons, so there was no need for him to intervene.
But the same thing goes - once you become a parent, being deprived of sleep by your children is an inevitable fate.
"Father."
Bruce didn't know how many "five minutes" he had slept before he heard his youngest son's voice ringing beside the bed again. He was forced to raise his sleepy eyes from under the quilt and ask.
"What's wrong?"
"Father," Damian said angrily, "It's okay that you're short, but how can you be so lazy?"
Considering that his father's development has been stagnant for many years and the height-increasing surgery has side effects, it is impossible for him to surpass other Batmen in height.
In this case, we must improve ourselves in other areas!
Bruce didn't know for a moment who was still asleep and who was dreaming.
But Bruce didn't want to find out the answers to these questions, nor did he want to portray his son as a diligent person. He just wanted to sleep. So he whispered "hmm" a few times and tried to take a nap.
Seeing this, Damian stepped forward and tugged at the pillow, angrily saying, "Father! While you were sleeping in, your alter-ego was already working! He doesn't have the same comfortable material conditions as you do; he's even working on the front lines at a construction site for a fixed salary."
"They're all Bruce Wayne, they're all Batman. Look at them, and then look at yourself! Why can't you do what they can do? Don't you have a sense of crisis?"
The core of this speech was too classic, so classic that it made the old butler Alfred nod in agreement, and it also made Bruce give up fighting for the pillow, bury his head in the pillow, and pretend that he heard nothing.
