Seeing Lin Feng fly away, the few people exchanged glances, vaguely feeling that Lin Feng's mood seemed a bit off.
Bruce then said to Diana and the others, "Give him some time!"
Afterwards, he led them onto the fighter jet and flew towards the base.
"Barry, tell us the details of what happened!"
Barry nodded and narrated the events word by word.
The thrilling and unpredictable process made everyone frown.
After a while, Barry, his throat dry, finished his narration and picked up a water bottle, gulping it down.
Bruce summarized, "So, the controlled Clark has become even more powerful!"
"And then, during Lin Feng's fight with Clark, Steppenwolf appeared and snatched the Mother Boxes?"
Barry nodded, "Something like that."
"It's getting harder and harder..." Bruce's expression was grave. He had thought Lin Feng's appearance could counter Clark, but he hadn't expected Clark to become even more powerful. This was clearly not good for their side.
The group fell into contemplation, digesting this information.
Diana then spoke, "We can't blame Lin Feng for the Mother Boxes being stolen. This situation has exceeded all our expectations!"
As soon as she said this, Bruce knew what Diana was worried about: she feared he would blame Lin Feng for the situation.
He spoke affirmatively, "No one will blame Lin Feng."
"In fact, we should thank Lin Feng. If it weren't for him, Barry and I would already be preparing our wills."
Aquaman and Victor nodded in agreement. Indeed, Lin Feng's help was immense, and they couldn't blame him for things that were beyond anyone's prediction.
If anyone were to be blamed, it would be the fighter jet for flying too slowly. If they had arrived earlier and used Kryptonite to restrain Clark, the outcome might have been different.
"It's not yet at the point of no return!" Victor, who had been silent, said.
"It will take some time to assemble the three Mother Boxes, we still have a chance!"
Seeing their gazes turn towards him, Victor emphasized word by word, "And it's our last chance!"
...
In space, Lin Feng opened a small green bottle and downed the remaining liquid in one gulp.
Instantly, a powerful life force surged throughout Lin Feng's body.
Combined with the sun's radiation, the wounds inflicted by heat vision began to heal slowly.
While recovering, Lin Feng pondered his next move.
According to the original plot, assembling the three Mother Boxes would take some time.
He recalled that in the original work, it only took a few hours for Steppenwolf to complete the assembly of the Mother Boxes.
The three Mother Boxes would fuse together, and finally, with Barry's help, Victor would enter the Mother Boxes and separate them again.
And the greatest threat that needed to be dealt with was – Superman Clark.
However, all he could do was kite Clark.
But Clark was now under Steppenwolf's command.
If Clark ignored him and proceeded to kill Batman and the others one by one, the mission would undoubtedly fail, and the world would face doom.
The main problem was, how to contend with the berserk Clark.
Lin Feng noticed that the berserk Clark heavily favored heat vision attacks and rarely threw punches.
Therefore, how to put Kryptonite handcuffs on him became a huge challenge.
"Damn system!"
Lin Feng called out.
System: "What is it..."
"Are there any temporary methods for me to get stronger?" Lin Feng asked. "Is there anything in the store that I can afford, something that can make me temporarily stronger?"
System: "No..."
"This huge store doesn't even have temporary buffs?"
System: "I mean, there's nothing you can afford..."
Lin Feng was stunned and helpless. Was he really going to kite Clark again?
"Alright, alright! I'm not teasing you anymore." The system's voice sounded again. Seeing Lin Feng's helpless and awkward expression, the system chuckled.
"Actually, the choice the host was given earlier, to run or to stay, was to observe the host's responsibility and character."
"This was a test of character, and upon passing, a system-bound beginner's gift package will be issued!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng was instantly taken aback, his face becoming extremely strange. A beginner's gift package?
"I knew something was missing! Right, how could I bind a system without a beginner's gift package? Isn't that standard equipment?"
"So you even did a character test?" Lin Feng was both speechless and angry, wanting to curse.
"Aren't you childish?"
The damn system retorted, "Hey, you can't blame this system. I just haven't found an opportunity to test the host's character and sense of responsibility before."
"When the host made his choice, the system could detect the host's true thoughts and attitude."
Seeing Lin Feng's somewhat indifferent attitude, the system said sternly, "Host, don't underestimate this small test. If you don't pass, not only will there be no beginner's gift package, but the system will also unbind itself soon!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Feng felt cold sweat break out. He stopped complaining, not expecting that such a small choice would lead to such a drastic difference in outcome.
Fortunately, he passed the test. Otherwise, if the system unbound, who would he cry to?
"Alright, the beginner's gift package is a Superman-exclusive gift package! It has been sent to the system warehouse. Host, go and take a look!" the system said.
"It contains what you need most right now!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng eagerly opened the system warehouse and indeed saw a golden, glowing package.
Upon clicking it open, it contained four gems of matching colors, two smooth, silver bracers with strange patterns, and a silver-glowing card.
Lin Feng examined the attributes of each item one by one.
Special Red Kryptonite: Can greatly enhance Superman's various abilities for a short period (4 hours).
Special Platinum Kryptonite: Can grant ordinary people all of Superman's abilities for a short period (2 hours).
Superman Bracers: Made of special metallic material, they can be inlaid with various ability gems, and the power of the gems can be transmitted to the wearer.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's eyes almost lit up.
Good stuff, all good stuff! Both the bracers and the two types of Kryptonite were perfect matches for Lin Feng. As expected of a Superman gift package, all items were related to Superman.
And when he saw the silver card at the end, Lin Feng fell silent, then began to shake with laughter.
Silver Age Superman Experience Card: As the name suggests, it can allow one to experience the powerful strength of a Silver Age Superman (limited to 4 hours).
Just seeing the name of the card was enough to tell how happy Lin Feng was.
If it weren't for the vacuum of space, Lin Feng would have burst out laughing.
Good heavens, this was like sending charcoal in the snow. From a scooter to a supercar.
Lin Feng couldn't help but emulate Barry and exclaim how life was full of ups and downs!
Next time I see Clark, I'll beat him ten times over!
In the comics, Silver Age Superman often possessed incredible and various superpowers. Lin Feng's card could only allow him to experience the basic abilities of a Silver Age Superman, such as super-flight and super-stamina.
But even this was enough to defeat the berserk Clark.
As for the two types of Kryptonite, there was nothing much to say. Platinum Kryptonite could be worn by Susan and activated when in danger, which would also put Lin Feng at ease regarding Susan's safety.
The bracers, needless to say, were for facilitating the use of Kryptonite, as their description indicated.
After his joy subsided, Lin Feng gradually calmed down. He pondered for a moment, took out a piece of special red Kryptonite and a pair of Superman bracers from his backpack.
There would be another battle between him and Clark.
But this time, the battle wouldn't be as rushed as before.
The Silver Age Superman Experience Card was precious and there was only one. He would use it only if necessary. He would first use the special red Kryptonite to see how much he could be strengthened.
Moreover, the restraining effect of green Kryptonite on Clark was far greater than on Lin Feng. Even without using the Silver Age Superman Experience Card, he was basically assured of victory and there was no need to waste it.
