chapter 6

Daily check-in complete, Physique +3

As Robert cast his fishing rod, a warm current surged through his body, subtly enhancing his physical attributes. Simultaneously, he felt the sun's constant rays enveloping him, warm and comforting. His body began transforming towards a perfect physique.

Originally, although Robert wasn't short, he appeared thin and weak, resembling a stick. But now, things were different. His muscles became more defined, and through his tight clothes, one could see the contours of his physique, giving him a semblance of Superman's appearance.

This was the Superman Body, continuously absorbing solar energy, strengthening itself, and storing energy within its cells. The sensation was incredibly comfortable. Even while focusing on fishing, Robert felt a bit drowsy.

"Tsk tsk, is the Superman Body really this amazing?" he mused. "No wonder Superman flies into the sun to sleep and bathe; it's indeed comfortable."

Robert marveled internally. To become stronger while also feeling this comfortable—Superman truly is the son of destiny. Now, he too could enjoy such treatment.

"System panel," Robert called out mentally, and the System panel appeared directly in his retina.

Host: Robert

Age: 17

Strength: Tier 1

Physique: 24

Spirit: 16

Energy: 11

Fishpond: Artificial Lake

Item: VIX Fishing Rod

Skill: Superman Body (Bronze Stage)

Robert narrowed his eyes. "Is sunbathing this effective? My attributes have visibly changed? In addition to the System's rewards, each of the three attributes increased by 1 point? What more could I ask for! Why bother with anything else? Just come out and sunbathe every day."

And with Ryan around, he didn't have to worry about cloudy or rainy days! Perfect! Absolutely perfect!

Just as Robert was reveling in his thoughts, his fishing rod shook, signaling movement. He immediately snapped back to reality, eyes filled with anticipation. Gripping the rod with both hands, Robert engaged in a tug-of-war with whatever was on the other end.

Logically, with his strength, he could lift a car out of the water effortlessly. However, the fishing rod couldn't withstand his full power, so he had to be cautious to avoid breaking it and losing the catch.

Splash! After a few minutes of effort, a fish emitting a white glow was pulled from the lake. Robert's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but he quickly grabbed the luminous entity that wriggled like a living creature. As soon as he touched it, the object transformed into a stream of light and entered his hand.

Item Acquired: X-Gene Suppressant

This wasn't just any item. Observing the carbon fiber gun that materialized in the System, alongside transparent bullets containing some mysterious liquid, Robert was amazed.

This was precisely the gun developed by Angel's father's organization in X-Men, specifically designed to counter mutants. Inside was a medicine capable of temporarily suppressing mutant abilities.

For mutants, this was more formidable than the Infinity Stones. While mutants could contend with the Infinity Stones, being struck by this weapon would nullify their X-Gene abilities for several years. Truly powerful!

"This System really can catch anything except fish!" Robert chuckled, shaking his head as he cast his fishing rod again.

Having just caught an item, Robert subconsciously waved the rod, not expecting another catch. But shortly after, the rod reacted once more.

"Good luck today," Robert thought, eyes lighting up with joy. After a brief struggle, he lifted the rod, revealing a blue fish from the pond.

"Purple?!" Robert exclaimed, overjoyed, as he grabbed the purple light entity.

Skill Acquired: Clown Mind Network

Clown Mind Network: The ability to replicate the Joker's intelligence and thinking. With it, you will possess the mind of the Joker.

Robert's eyes sparkled with excitement. This ability was incredible! In the DC Universe, if one were to rank intelligence, figures like Lex Luthor and Superman would be at the top due to their innate talents and capabilities. However, when it came to understanding and manipulating human psychology, the Joker was unparalleled.

Even the gods in the DC Universe might not be immune to the Joker's machinations! This ability might not grant Robert the scientific prowess of Iron Man, but it would ensure he wouldn't be outmaneuvered by anyone.

Absolutely formidable! Superman with the Joker's intellect—a true superhuman!

Chapter 6: Fire? Freezing Breath is Coming!

Robert's days at the Academy were tranquil. Each day, besides eating and sleeping, he would secretly sneak out to fish. Unfortunately, perhaps his luck from the two consecutive catches a few days prior had run out, as he hadn't caught anything recently.

However, daily check-ins and sunbathing still yielded significant gains. His three main attributes had seen substantial improvements.

Host: Robert

Age: 17

Strength: Tier 1

Physique: 30

Spirit: 23

Energy: 25

Fishpond: Artificial Lake

Item: VIX Fishing Rod (High-Quality Fishing Rod), X-Gene Suppressant

Skill: Superman Body (Bronze Stage), Clown Mind Network

In just a few days, his Physique had surpassed thirty—a remarkable transformation. The power behind his punches could now reach approximately forty tons.

How heavy is a heavy truck? Robert could now send one flying with a single punch. An ordinary human wouldn't stand a chance against such overwhelming strength—they'd be obliterated instantly!

Not human at all!
