SUP Chapter 73: The Homelander's Profession!

He ran.

He chased.

Ian felt like he had nowhere to escape.

Having gained a new profession and new talent, Ian's attribute boost was actually quite noticeable.

[Name: Ian Kent]

[Ordinary Profession: Student lv7 (125/640)]

[Extraordinary Professions: Berserker LV4 (9/80), Savage Tyrant lv1 (0/10)]

[World Recognition: Independent NPC]

[Strength: 11→13]

[Constitution: 8.9→14]

[Intelligence: 2.8→3.0]

[Spirit: 7.5→7.6]

...

However, this improvement couldn't help in an emergency.

"Save me! Someone save me!"

Ian didn't know who to turn to for help. This place was quite far from Grandma Martha's house. And calling his mother to ask her to change her name to Martha was obviously too late.

Two legs could never outrun someone flying in the sky.

After running just a few steps, before Ian could even find some street thugs to grab and throw at the flying Superman, he was already caught by the back of his neck and lifted into the sky by his own father.

Bad news: He was effortlessly caught by his father.

Good news: His father just threw him at the front door of their house.

"Wait for me at home!"

He flew away as if he had to rush off to do some vigilante work. Ian temporarily got a chance to catch his breath and some time to think of countermeasures.

"Phew~"

Taking a long breath, Ian took off his inferior Batman costume and stuffed the bull-head demon back into his little backpack. He could finally check his new talent.

[Perfect Divinity: Can absorb chemical substances to automatically synthesize strengthening compounds needed in the body for upgrades. Each internal chemical synthesis will bring you corresponding experience improvement.

When subjected to any form of taunting by others, your body will enter Musou mode. In this mode, you will gain a 30% boost to all attributes, but your moral level will continuously decline.]

It had to be said that the [Constitution] boost gained from the [Savage Tyrant] profession was truly exaggerated. Just looking at the panel boost effects, it was even stronger than the [Berserker] template.

"That's not right! Homelander was supposed to be the unlucky one who got torn apart." Ian suspected these professions could advance later, and [Savage Tyrant] was an early-stage profession.

This speculation couldn't be verified yet, but the newly born extraordinary talent was really something. Ian felt he had already secretly aligned with the upgrade path in advance.

"As expected of me!"

Ian pulled out his special drink and took a big gulp.

[Savage Tyrant experience +1]

It really worked.

Now the value of having a chemistry teacher obviously increased immediately. He pulled out his battered thermos, thinking he should get Mr. White a more expensive thermos when he had the chance.

"I have one Savage Tyrant profession skill point. Let me see what I can learn." Ian stood at his house's front door. He definitely wasn't delaying going inside.

[Solar Eyes: Eyes can release high-intensity laser beams. Continuous use will cause temporary vision decline. The laser beam intensity depends on the user's spirit attribute.]

[Aberrant Breath: You will constantly breed aberration factors in your body, which can be actively sprayed out as gas through your lungs, causing targets to undergo violent biological aberration reactions.]

[Iron Body: Your body surface will be significantly strengthened, substantially improving strength and constitution attributes.]

...

The variety of skills was still abundant.

However, there were only three skills Ian could learn at his current level.

Flight ability wasn't among them.

"If there's a passive skill, you definitely choose the passive! This is something all gamers understand!" Ian didn't deliberate much, unhesitatingly choosing the skill that would bring him closer to his family.

[Iron Body]

"System, can you change it to Steel Body? I've had enough of being a knockoff." Ian tried to negotiate with the system, but the consistently aloof system just silently granted him the skill.

[Strength: 13→21]

[Constitution: 14→38]

[Intelligence: 3.0]

[Spirit: 7.6]

...

A qualitative improvement!

This was definitely body enhancement beyond Ian's expectations. If he didn't lack other [Savage Tyrant] skill points right now, he would be afraid of losing control and investing more in this skill.

Yes, ordinary skills could be upgraded, and profession skills were the same. It's just that each level up required double the skill points of the previous level, so Ian had been reluctant to dump his saved [Berserker] skill points.

"I need to level up hard!"

Ian felt his system was as agreeable as he was. Silence was just tacit consent. When he upgraded this skill next time, the system would definitely silently change the skill name.

"Don't let me down."

Ian, who was trying to PUA his own system, ultimately still needed to enter his own home. He carefully walked through the front door and tiptoed to the living room.

Second brother Jordan was sprawled on the sofa watching TV. In the news, Superman had just stopped a nuclear power plant leak accident, his red cape fluttering in the radioactive dust.

The reason why his father had been in such a hurry was found.

"Where are Mom and Jonathan?"

Ian probed his second brother.

His second brother looked back at his younger brother who had been coming home late recently and seemed to really be dating someone. "Jonathan went to the court for extra practice, and Mom went out too..."

"This is strange. After Mom saw Batman news, she hurriedly ran out, muttering curses. I think she really doesn't like this superhero from the neighboring city."

Jordan stroked his chin, making what he considered Sherlock Holmes-level deduction.

"Ahaha, yeah, Batman is so bad..." Ian's forehead was slightly sweating. It wasn't much at first, but when his hand uneasily reached toward his pocket, his whole body stiffened.

"Of course, despite that, I still really like Batman! Love him."

This was Ian's timely remedy, because the phone Batman threw to him was still in his pocket.

He hadn't thrown it away.

After all, Ian wanted red lights, so he needed to build more rapport with Batman. Before, he had no way to contact him, but now Batman could enjoy the same treatment as Lady Death.

"Huh?"

Jordan suddenly turned around after hearing this.

"You're not right!"

His tone was somewhat uncertain and suspicious.

"What do you mean?"

Ian felt guilty, thinking his second brother had seen through something.

But unexpectedly.

"Did you also get a boyfriend?" Jordan's information-laden voice carried worry, worry for his family brother, and worry for his own... future.

"What do you mean!?"

Ian was stunned.

His eyes widened.

He didn't dare think too much.

Once his wisdom activated, it would be terrifying to think deeply.

"This matter... forget it, you can't know! You tell the two adults everything!" Jordan originally wanted to say something, but ultimately kept his mouth shut.

"Is there a possibility that I've never tattled..." Ian was really wronged this time. Although he was a top student, he didn't have the stereotypical bad habits of some top students.

"Heh."

Jordan didn't believe it.

He pulled out a letter from under his butt.

"Someone sent you mail. I think it's a love letter... because there's no return address or signature. I've received them too." Jordan's final emphasis was somewhat deliberate.

"Green envelope, how could it be a love letter?"

Ian rolled his eyes.

After taking the mail, he opened it curiously. Inside was indeed a thin letter and a piece of paper. It was a check with a full seven zeros!

"A prank?"

No one would believe this was a real check.

Ian looked at the letter in surprise. The letter's content had a very gentlemanly, graceful expression. However, it still left Ian completely confused.
