The signing process with Superman was very smooth; after all, both Fang Yuan and Clark had been waiting quite a while.
It was just that Bruce had been obstructing them, forcefully keeping them apart for so long.
Bat Man is confirmed as the great villain.
[Name: Clark Kent]
[Level: S]
[Fame: 39 (Slightly Famous)]
[Rewards Gained: Initial Reward (Claimable), First Tier Reward (Claimable)]
[Initial Reward: Low-Level Affinity Aura (C-Rank) upgraded to Mid-Level Affinity Aura (B-Rank)]
[First Tier Reward: Superpower - Solar Energy Absorption (C-Rank) upgraded to Solar Affinity Aura (B-Rank)]
Superman's character level is indeed S-Rank!
Fang Yuan was very happy. He had initially been worried that he might only be A+ like Thor, but now he was finally relieved.
As expected of DC's favorite son, he certainly has prestige.
What? Bat Man?
That's DC's favorite dad.
Fang Yuan just hadn't expected Clark not to be completely unknown; he already had 39 fame points. Without using public opinion tools to cheat, this was quite impressive.
"Clark often used his superpowers to help others while in college, which is how he accumulated a lot of fame," Bruce explained proactively, as if knowing Fang Yuan's confusion.
It seems this was the training provided by Bat Man. Fang Yuan knew that Clark had previously been very worried about exposing his superpowers and causing public panic.
But now he was proactively helping others.
And Clark's rewards were also very interesting: both the Initial Reward and the First Tier Reward upgraded his existing rewards.
The [Low-Level Affinity Aura (C-Rank)] was the first aura Fang Yuan obtained, unlocked by Angel Warren's Fourth Tier Reward.
Applied to Superman, the Initial Reward directly upgraded it to [Mid-Level Affinity Aura (B-Rank)]. It seems there are several Milky Way Galaxies separating the Angel and Superman.
The superpower [Solar Energy Absorption (C-Rank)] was unlocked by Supergirl Kara's Second Tier Reward. Although it had little presence in combat, Fang Yuan used it quite often normally.
After all, simply basking in the Sun could improve physical fitness. Even if the speed was slow, a mosquito is still meat. Every time it was sunny, Fang Yuan essentially turned himself into a solar panel.
Since Superman and Supergirl share the same origin, the reward unlocked by Kara was directly upgraded into an Aura, along with a level increase, which is also very practical.
After signing Superman, Fang Yuan wasn't anxious. Given Clark's abilities, becoming wildly popular was only a matter of time; he didn't need to worry about it at all.
Therefore, Fang Yuan was more interested in Clark's gossip.
"You exposed your superpowers, but nobody recognized you?" he asked Clark.
Clark took out a pair of glasses: "I wear these glasses usually, so people don't know my real appearance."
Seeing that Clark had actually taken out the core Superman item, Fang Yuan immediately turned to look at Bruce.
Clark still didn't know his origins, so these glasses, clearly a product of Kryptonian technology, must have been provided by Bruce.
Sure enough, Bruce nodded: "I made them for him. After putting on these glasses, Clark doesn't have to worry about his true identity being discovered. They are very effective."
Fang Yuan thought, "Of course, Supermen across countless Worlds have personally tested its effectiveness."
"Since your true identity hasn't been discovered, have the public given you a Superhero title?"
"Yes," Clark scratched his head sheepishly. "Superboy."
Since he wasn't very old and possessed superpowers, receiving this name was simple and straightforward.
Fang Yuan knew that this was actually the earliest codename for Superman Clark in the comics. Once he got older and put on the cape, he would evolve into Superman.
Fang Yuan nodded: "That's pretty good, at least it sounds better than 'Bat Man'."
"Bat Man" immediately shot a blade-like gaze toward Fang Yuan.
Clark also laughed. Of course, he knew Bruce was Bat Man; in fact, he was a fan of Bat Man.
"Is Clark still attending college?" Fang Yuan asked with a chuckle.
Clark shook his head: "No, I just graduated."
"Aren't you planning to pursue further studies, maybe get a few Dr. degrees?" Fang Yuan knew that Superman's ability to process information was strong; he was naturally suited for scientific research.
However, Clark replied: "I'm not interested in entering a laboratory. I prefer the feeling of helping others."
"So I plan to start working!" Clark showed a bright, cheerful smile.
Fang Yuan immediately became interested: "Oh? Doing what?"
"A reporter!"
Clark gave the answer Fang Yuan had expected.
"Reporters are very well-informed and can legitimately be present at various emergency situations, which is perfect for allowing me to seize the opportunity to help people," Clark explained.
"Then I guess you're definitely not working as a reporter in Kansas?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile.
"Haha, Fang, you're amazing," Clark chuckled, showing his teeth. "I'm heading to Metropolis."
"Bruce helped me get an interview qualification for the Daily Planet in Metropolis, and I've already passed the interview."
Clark was a little excited: "I'm an intern reporter now!"
Sure enough, the sky over Metropolis always feels incomplete without that red silhouette.
Fang Yuan patted his shoulder: "Go get 'em!"
"Oh right, who is the senior person responsible for mentoring you at the Daily Planet?" Fang Yuan suddenly remembered this fun detail.
"Oh, her name is Lois Lane, a really amazing female reporter!" Clark's tone involuntarily rose a few degrees when talking about this topic. "She's not much older than me, but she's already a very senior reporter and has won major awards!"
"I bet she's also very pretty?" Fang Yuan asked abruptly.
"Ah... ah... hehe, yes!"
Clark suddenly looked a bit bashful, but finally admitted it.
Fang Yuan and Bruce exchanged a look and noticed an 'auntie smile' on each other's faces.
After dinner, Fang Yuan, Bruce, and Thomas took a walk on the farm.
"You've certainly raised Clark well," Fang Yuan said.
The Clark he saw this time was completely different from the long-faced one he saw last time, no wonder his [Affinity Aura] was upgraded.
"This Clark, at least, won't turn into the way we saw him last time," Thomas also sighed.
"When do you plan to let Clark know about his origins?" Fang Yuan asked.
"In a few more years, once he's familiar with being a Superhero in the big city," Bruce replied. "Also, the gods have only just appeared, so we need to let the news spread and prepare the public psychologically to accept aliens."
Bat Man is like a great director, meticulously planning the appearance of these Superheroes; he has a schedule for everything.
"Anyway, I trust your decision," Fang Yuan said, shaking his head. "By the way, I need to leave for a month. I'm going now. When I get back, I'll send Thomas home."
Having signed Superman, Fang Yuan didn't want to waste any more time. He wanted to quickly try the Random World to come back and sign his big baby Satan.
Thomas had no objection. He had stayed here long enough this time, and he could relax when he went back.
Bruce, however, was more concerned about Fang Yuan's destination: "Where are you going?"
Fang Yuan directly activated the Random World crossing. During the countdown, he also learned the target World from the system panel.
He smiled slightly.
"I am going to the distant horizon, for a romantic rendezvous!"
pirates of the caribbean, I'm coming!
