Chapter 199 Chapter 199 Currently Unlocked Characters
In the end, Benjamin still didn't get to eat the fried meat with feather duster from his parents.
Not only did Jason rush forward and grab the feather duster before it landed, using a force that was neither enough to completely snatch it away nor enough to stop Sandra from beating Benjamin, but it was also because Li Hua, who was also holding Carl, shouted:
"Uncle and aunt, please listen to our explanation. I'm not a scumbag! The Nakfuji people are hermaphrodites, and I was the one who got pregnant!"
The waving of the feather duster and belt froze in mid-air. Their owners stiffly turned their necks to look at Li Hua: "Really?"
"It's true! It's absolutely true! You've seen the Omnitrix's transformation abilities, haven't you?"
Seeing that his uncle and aunt were about to give up the mixed doubles, Li Hua took advantage of the situation to explain everything.
"Ben was already pregnant when he arrived in that world. Jason and I helped build the delivery room! So Ben can only be considered coming out, not cheating!"
“I’m not out either!!!”
Benjamin was horrified to find that his parents' eyes began to reveal an unconcealable pain when they looked at him. The "being injured radar" that Damian had misunderstood started beeping, so he chose to take the initiative to dispel the rumor before his parents could say something about the misunderstanding that would kill him without compensation.
"I wasn't deceived, physically or mentally, and I didn't commit any of the crimes you believe I did! The Nakfuji are hermaphrodites, capable of self-reproduction and lay eggs every eighty years. I just happened to catch this one! And—your son, I don't have a postpartum weakness period, and I don't have gender identity disorder!"
Benjamin finished a long list of supplementary settings in one breath and looked at his parents breathlessly.
He just didn't believe that there could be any misunderstanding with such a perfect explanation!
"...Ben." Sandra threw the feather duster away, her eyes and tone cautious, as if she wanted to remove the gauze but was afraid to uncover the child's wound. "Why are you so skilled?"
Before she had time to think about it or ask, Benjamin automatically revealed so many things, which was really like trying to cover up the truth.
Carl also gave up the idea of a belt and the "whip in the hands of a loving father, the whip on the body of a wandering son." Like his wife, he did not hide his doubts about his son's words and his concern for him: "Ben... I want you to know that no matter what happens, Daddy and Mommy will always be here."
Just like the heavy laser gun left by his father, Benjamin's grandfather in the attic, it is always there and can send the bastards who bully his family to hell at any time.
Benjamin: "I know, Mom and Dad, I've always known...but there's really nothing! Your son is healthy both physically and mentally, and has not suffered any damage."
Sandra covered her mouth. "You even know the word 'destructive'?"
Benjamin had never used such flowery words before, and he seemed much calmer.
It is well known that trauma can change a person's temperament and sometimes force them to grow.
Then you should take a look at who I have been arguing with in the past few months!
Benjamin had no way to defend himself and could only look to his two companions for help.
Please save my reputation!
"You two might be a little misinformed about your son's fighting prowess," Jason said. "At ten, he's already fighting a bunch of alien freaks. Who could force him to do that?"
Sandra looked at Benjamin doubtfully: "Tell the truth to your mother, is this true?"
After all, the Tennysons had never seen their son fight. Even though they had seen Benjamin's transformation, they couldn't suddenly turn their son, who they thought was still an ordinary person, into a warrior with extraordinary combat power.
In the eyes of most parents, children are always children. Moreover, Benjamin was indeed a minor, and his parents had no time to adjust to the change of status.
Li Hua: "Auntie, as someone who was pinned to the ground and hammered by your son's twenty-meter-tall alien dinosaur during a sparring match, I can assure you this is true. If you two don't believe me, I can put on my combat uniform right now, find a quiet place, and let him beat me up again to show you how full of life he is!"
Carl and Sandra: ???
Jason: Damn, brother, you’re playing such a big game?
"There's an old saying back home: seeing is believing. To be fair, Benjamin's human appearance doesn't look like a tough guy who can crush Earth's crises with a single punch, but don't worry, you'll be able to see his combat mode soon!"
As he said that, Li Hua grabbed Benjamin's arm and tried to drag him out.
As everyone knows, Li Hua is not good at speaking. As the saying goes, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing"...
Anyway, they fight during normal sparring sessions, and now they are having a parent-teacher meeting and they are also having a fight. For the sake of his brother's reputation, Li Hua will go all out today and use the magic boy and his fists to dispel the concerns of the Tennysons!
...Anyway, this wouldn't be the first time he'd dressed as a woman to meet his brothers' parents. He'd have to be a hero in this world, so he'd have to wear women's clothing day and night, so he might as well take this opportunity to cut the Gordian knot!
"Li Hua! Brother!" Benjamin pulled Li Hua's arm and tried to pull him off the camper van's battle skirt. "That's not necessary!"
You really don't want to get yourself killed by wearing a skirt in front of my parents for something like this! Things haven't developed to the point of being a scarecrow in the AK world yet!
Please don't do the magic boy transformation in front of my parents, they have been through enough today!
"Actually, I'm just worried out of normal parental concern. It's really not that serious."
Although Karl didn't know what Li Hua was going to do, he couldn't just watch his son beat up someone, so he quickly tried to stop him. However, he found that the kid was so strong that it took both him and his son to hold him down. It was obvious that he was serious about it.
"You kid, why are you hitting me?"
Carl grabbed Li Hua's shoulders and pushed him back onto the sofa, thinking that this kid was stubborn and reckless, and worthy of being able to play with Ben.
"Actually, Ben's grandfather was also a plumber. It's not that I don't believe he can inherit his grandfather's legacy in this way, but I just don't have the buffer time for me to accept it."
Li Hua was secretly surprised at how strong Benjamin's father's hands were and how skilled he was in pressing him to exert force.
"Uncle, what exactly do you do for a living?"
“It’s just a skill that comes with practice as a parent.”
After Li Hua asked the question, Carl pointed at Benjamin with his thumb.
"Do you think this kid was very honest when he was young?"
Li Hua: "You're exaggerating. I never thought so."
Benjamin: ...Although what you said is true, could you please avoid me a little next time?
Jason was filled with thoughts of Ice Ghost pups that had been pulled back from their previous positions for various reasons, such as wanting to fly in to watch the battle or explore the new environment. "Anyway, let's sit down calmly and discuss what's going to happen next."
"We need to talk about what to do with these kids."
"What else can we do? Is there any other option besides raising these little alien monsters?"
Carl and Sandra looked at their fourteen newly born grandchildren and found these little creatures more and more adorable.
"Although the number is indeed a bit...but since we've already given birth, we can definitely get through this together."
Benjamin was relieved by his parents' attitude, but he still said, "Actually, we don't have to raise them. The Nakfuji people have the ability to cross the universe and return to their home planet to live independently from the moment they are born."
"I have no intention of interfering with the natural laws of survival of this species, so I originally planned to bring them back to this universe and then let them return to their home planet. But as you know, the universe has been unstable recently, and Earth is facing a major crisis. I'm a little worried that they won't be able to fly back..."
"What's the big deal? Your father and I can take care of them." Sandra held a baby Ice Ghost in her arms. "These children are not even a year old. There's no way we can let them go on a space voyage."
Benjamin: "...Mom, I just told you that they can travel through space on their own from birth. Your grandchildren's baby food is even thousands of degrees Celsius solar plasma. I used to send them to the sun for dinner every day."
Carl: "That would be easy to raise, and it would save the family a lot of money. By the way, do they need special diapers?"
Benjamin: "...No, actually, I usually leave them on the sun or some other star to help themselves to food. I'll pick them up when I wake up."
Carl: "That would be easier to maintain and save a lot of money."
Benjamin: "...Mom and Dad, are you really thinking about what I'm saying?"
Li Hua whispered to Jason, "Why does this scene feel so familiar to me?"
Jason whispered back, "Of course. If you replace the Tennysons with Ben, and replace both of us and 666 with Ben, isn't this just a repeat of our previous situation? Understand, the physiological differences between human cubs and Nakfuji cubs are enormous."
When Benjamin first held the children, he was worried about whether they would get into trouble or get hurt. Now, he has evolved to the point where he is playing the real-life version of Angry Birds with his children - the children are the birds that are launched.
But as people with more than ten years of experience as parents and members of society, the Tennysons soon considered more realistic factors - their home seemed a little small.
The Tennysons' house, a two-story, attic-and-basement single-family home, was spacious enough for a family of three and a dog, but too crowded for fourteen new lives and two guests.
It seems like there aren't enough beds at home. I have to go buy some later, and then I have to clean up the attic that's full of clutter...
Just as I was thinking about it, the doorbell rang and a female voice came: "Hello? Is anyone home?"
"Oh no, it's our neighbor! She must be here to ask how Ben is doing. She brought the dog home last night."
Sanders and Carl subconsciously and hurriedly stuffed the peeking ice ghost cubs into the camper and hid them, but they didn't realize that this action confused the ice ghost cubs who were trying to turn invisible and sneak into the ground, making them impatient.
They had already been sitting in the camper, restrained and silent, for a long time. As flying creatures, they hadn't flapped their wings for a long time. Their patience as babies was almost exhausted. Now, seeing that the adults were trying to force them into the crowded camper, they all reluctantly hid from their parents' hands.
"Li Hua, go answer the door." Benjamin, trying to coordinate with his parents and Jason to physically tidy up the child, said to Li Hua, "She's the neighbor from your hometown I told you about before. Go chat with her and buy time!"
"I guarantee to complete the task." Li Hua walked towards the door. Just as he opened it a crack, the words "Hello, ma'am" got stuck in his throat after he saw the other person's appearance.
No, to call it "appearance" is too......
How could this person have any "appearance"? This person, dressed in black from head to toe, from skin to clothing, with no features, looks like an unlocked character. What's going on?!
