Chapter 342: Metropolis (8)
In the Batcave, Clark sits at his desk, and in front of him is Ivy in a white robe.
Next to Ivy, Victor and Arthur Curry sat aside.
Tonight, Clark will be taught by three teachers in turn.
As the explanation gradually deepened, Ivy found that Clark's comprehension and speed of knowledge absorption were truly terrifying.
Later in the day, Ivy no longer writes on the board, but throws the books she has been studying and throwing them to Clark from under the desk for her own reading.
Because Ivy found that Clark didn't actually need his own explanation at all, and seemed to understand everything just by reading it once!
Soon, Ivy's class was over.
With Ivy's experience, Victor was much more relaxed.
I saw that he kept pulling out books and papers on refrigeration and air conditioning from under his desk.
Soon, after all the books were reviewed, Clark began to meditate with his eyes closed.
Because Depp said that letting him and Victor learn about freezing is not to let Clark make the same cryo gun as Victor, but to make Clark more familiar with his ability to breathe ice, and develop a variety of different uses.
For example, now, compared to the beginning when he could only exhale cold air, Clark has made a qualitative leap!
I saw Clark open his mouth slightly and spit it out gently.
A shard of ice that exuded a chill blurted out and shot directly at a large tree not far away.
The ice shards pierced through hundreds of trees before finally dissipating without a trace.
At the same time, the trees that had been pierced by the ice fragments had all turned into ice sculptures, and then shattered into countless ice fragments and fell to the ground.
However, what is even more terrifying is that the ice fragments that fell to the ground not only did not melt, but began to gradually erode the surrounding land, making the surrounding land stained with a layer of frost.
Seeing Clark's terrifying tricks, the teaching trio in front of them involuntarily took a step back.
If this thing gets on your body, it would be hard to leave a whole corpse!
However, after hesitating for a moment, Arthur stepped forward again and said to Clark, "If you can promise not to use that thing on me, I can train you in the use of polearms." ”
When Clark heard this, he immediately said, "Of course, how could I use those tricks on my own people? ”
"Very well, then I think we can start practicing."
Arthur tosses Clark an Atlantean trident and begins his own teaching.
Arthur's combat skills were taught by Nudisviko, so when he taught Clark, he taught Nudisviko the same way he taught himself.
Hand in hand, step by step teaching.
But it's too slow to teach.
Clark looked at the time and said, "Arthur, or you might as well teach me directly in actual combat, just like Batman." ”
"Actual combat?" Arthur Curry said, "Clark, do you know what you're talking about?" In actual combat, you will lose ugly. ”
"I don't think I've ever been afraid of failure." Clark put on the posture he had just learned and said, "Besides, I don't think you can hurt me. ”
"So, don't worry, go all-in, Mr. Arthur."
When Arthur heard this, he was no longer hypocritical, and directly held up the trident with both hands and attacked Clark directly.
Although Clark's fighting skills have been superb, his fighting ability is no different from before.
Therefore, with the suppression of strength and speed, Clark could only fend off Arthur's two attacks in front of him, and was hit in the abdomen by a salted fish spike. Knocked Clark straight away.
However, Clark's strong physique, even Arthur, who is attacking with all his might, cannot break the defense.
Now Arthur has not really awakened, and his strength and speed have not reached his true peak.
Seeing Clark rubbing his stomach and getting up, unscathed, Arthur was shocked.
This was the second time he had seen Clark, and Arthur didn't expect this guy who looked as young as himself to have such amazing defense!
Arthur reluctantly lifted the trident and rushed towards Clark again.
Arthur, who was already hot-tempered, was driven by his competitive spirit and launched a crazy attack on Clark mercilessly.
The Trident was wielded by Arthur with countless afterimages, and it was a small combo of stabbing, splitting, sweeping, and smashing at Clarke.
Clark had never seen such a formation, and after two symbolic resistances, he entered the situation of being unilaterally tortured by Arthur.
The trident struck Clark all at once, and although he knocked Clark back again and again, and finally lay directly on the ground and couldn't get up, it still failed to cause the slightest damage to Clark.
This made Arthur even angrier.
"Are you a turtle? Why is it so hard? Arthur said to himself, "No, even the turtle with the hardest carapace in the deep sea can't withstand an attack like mine!" ”
However, Arthur did not notice that under such a stormy attack, Clark's expression began to gradually become calm.
Just like practicing martial arts with Batman before, Clarke's brain was running rapidly as he was being walked, like a computer in high speed, quickly analyzing Arthur's attack routines.
Finally, Clarke's eyes lit up, and he raised the trident in his hand and stabbed forward without hesitation.
Seeing this, Arthur, who was originally swinging, could only quickly retreat to avoid being hit by Clark's attack.
However, Clarke's move surprised Arthur a little.
"This seems to be a trident combat skill unique to Atlantis, could it be that this kid Clark can really learn just by being beaten?"
"Your Nima's science?"
Arthur Curry was a little annoyed, and immediately accelerated the speed of his attack, and also upgraded from the original Atlantis basic skill to the intermediate skill.
Early the next morning, Clark jumped up in a Superman uniform and carrying a school bag. Make a beeline for the slum rental houses of the metropolis.
Arthur Curry, on the other hand, was crouching at the entrance of the bat cave with his knees crossed, his expression glazed, obviously greatly stimulated.
Depp came to Arthur's side and squatted down and comforted: "Don't take it to heart, Arthur, your real ability is not in strength, but in communication. ”
After saying that, Depp also jumped up and flew towards his home.
Arthur raised his head, looked in the direction in which Depp had disappeared, and muttered, "Communicate."
Metropolis, downstairs from L Ltd., Clark walked in with a serious expression.
This was his first interview since coming to the Met, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
And, just an hour earlier, Clark had received a text message from Misia, the head of human resources, telling him that the interview address had changed.
From the very beginning of the construction site, it has become the headquarters of L Company.
Entering the company building, Clark came to the front desk: "Hello, may I ask for an interview, are you here?" ”
The girl at the front desk glanced at Clark, and her expression immediately changed from the initial indifference to enthusiasm: "Hello sir, please tell me your name, I will inquire for you." ”
"Hello, my name is Clark, Clark Kent."
"Okay, please wait." The girl at the front desk quickly looked up Clark's name on the computer, and then said: "Hello, Mr. Clark, your interview will start in half an hour, and the interview address is the general manager's office on the eighteenth floor. ”
As she spoke, the girl at the front desk handed Clark an interview note, with her contact information written on the back of the note.
"General Manager's Office?" Clark was a little confused, but didn't say much.
He thought to himself, maybe this company pays special attention to personnel selection, even if it is a junior worker, it needs to be interviewed by the manager.
Clark took the note, completely oblivious to the phone number behind it, and walked straight to the elevator.
Arriving on the eighteenth floor, Clark turned around half a circle before finding the general manager's office.
He sat down on a bench next to his office and waited for the interview time to come.
Half an hour later, the door to the general manager's office opened, and a woman who looked like a secretary walked out and said to Clark, "You can go in for an interview, Mr. Clark." ”
Clark looked up and immediately replied, "Thank you very much, good ma'am." ”
With that, Clark walked into the office with his head held high.
The office was large, with a huge desk in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, and between the desk and the floor-to-ceiling window, a woman with long black hair sat in a chair with her back to Clark.
Clark wondered why this boss had his back to him?
But he didn't say much, and sat down in the chair across from his desk.
"Hello, I'm Clark Kent, and I'm interviewing for a construction worker's position."
Clark was the first to speak.
The female boss, who had her back to Clark, heard this, slowly turned her chair and faced Clark.
Black business attire, red lining, plus a pair of 10-centimeter heels.
When the female boss turned around completely, Clark immediately frowned: "You are actually the boss here?" ”
The woman smiled and said, "Surprised?" ”
"You should be in jail by now!" Clark said, "You thief! ”
"Thief? I love the title, even though it's just my hobby! The woman held out her hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Clark Kent, first of all, I am the owner of this company, and my name is Lena Luthor." ”
Lena Luthor?
The woman's last name reminds Clark of a close friend!
And the name of this company, L, may be the meaning of Luther.
He immediately asked, "Lex Luthor, who are you?" ”
Lena Luthor was a little surprised when she heard this, and she said, "You actually know my brother?" Who are you?! ”
"I'm Clark Kent, and my resume is in your hands right now." Clark said, "As for your brother, we met in Smowell, and we are best friends. ”
"You're actually best friends?" Lina Luthor said a little angrily: "It's really disgusting, my brother has never introduced a handsome guy like you to me!" ”
Lena Luthor stood up, walked over to Clark, put her hand on the latter's neck and said, "Since you know my brother, it's even better."
Before Lena could finish speaking, Clark grabbed the other party's wrist, and then directly threw a back throw, knocking Lena Luthor to the ground.
Then, under Lena Luthor's horrified expression, Clark pressed her to the ground and pressed her knee against Lena's slender waist.
"You are arrested lady, I will call the police immediately to call the police, I think the four detectives who picked you up that day will definitely remember your face."
At this time, Clark is like an emotionless thief machine.
Lena Luthor looked horrified, he knew that Clark was right, the four detectives who were stripped naked and thrown on the road definitely recognized their faces!
"Let go of me, you muscular one!" Lena Luthor's cheeks were slightly red by Clark's knees, "My brother is Lex Luthor, since you are his friend, how can you send his own sister to prison?" ”
Clark said, "That's why I have to send you to prison!" I can't just watch my friend's own sister go astray and ignore it. ”
"You're sick!" Lena Luthor yelled, but no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free from Clark's suppression.
Clark picked up his phone and dialed the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Hey, hello officer, I've got a thief here that you need to catch."
"It's the female snitch who was there in the slums last time!"
"What? She actually threw all four police detectives on the road and even snatched the police car? ”
"That's right, the address is at 361 Champs Avenue in the Metropolis, the general manager's office on the eighteenth floor of Company L."
Five minutes later, the sound of police cars sounded under the L Company building, and the four detectives strode into the building and went straight to the eighteenth floor.
Boom! The door to the general manager's office was kicked open, and the four detectives immediately stepped forward to check on Lena Luthor, who was pressed underneath Clark.
When they saw Lena Luthor's face, they immediately determined that this was the female snitch who had stripped them of their shorts and left them on the road!
"I'm sorry ma'am, you're arrested!" The detective said: "I really didn't expect that an upper-class person like you would be a snitch who snatched a police car." ”
"Phew!"
Hearing this, Lena Luthor spat in the other party's face and said, "You forgot to say something, I also stripped the four of you to only your panties and threw them on the road!" ”
Arresting Lena Luthor, the lead detective said to Clark, "Young man, thank you for your many reports, and the people of the Met, they will thank you." ”
Watching the detectives send Lena Luthor away, Clark walks out of Company L.
Although he lost his low-hanging fruit job this time, he not only helped the police catch the female snitch, but also helped his friend's own sister to turn over a new leaf.
Clark himself was quite happy.
As for work
How do you say it in the words of Depp's big brother?
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so don't worry too much now!
In the police car, Lena Luthor looked back at Clark standing at the door of Company L, her face full of resentment.
