Chapter 158 Let's build a house!
Martha then realized what was happening and said, "I'm sorry, child. I'll arrange a room for you right away. You can stay here until you figure out a way to get home."
"Thanks!" Link then asked, "Why doesn't Clark renovate the house?"
"..." Martha was taken aback, then smiled and said, "We hadn't thought about that. It's clear you're doing very well at home."
"Yes, I have a super brain. I learn everything incredibly fast, and I have super speed too. I can do anything quickly," Link said. "Clark hasn't fully developed his abilities at all."
Martha hesitated for a moment, but gritted her teeth and said, "Clark should avoid using his abilities if possible. He doesn't have a clear vision for his future."
"I know about his situation, it's related to your husband," Link said. "In my opinion, Clark has been raised to be too paranoid, like a saint, which is very bad for him."
"Honest people are often taken advantage of!"
"..." Martha didn't know what to say, but she remembered what her husband had said, "Lin, how do you act in your own universe?"
"Save those who deserve to be saved, kill those who deserve to be killed!" Link said. "X-ray vision and super hearing allow me to easily obtain evidence; it's too simple for me."
"I even use my super brain to continuously learn technology and develop a lot of things, enough to help me monitor many things."
Link lied, but his heartbeat remained unchanged. "Possessing such great power, one should indeed be cautious, but not too cautious, or it will put oneself in a passive position."
"Like Batman, oh right~ you guys have Batman here, right?"
Martha nodded and said, "Yes, in Gotham."
"Yeah, he doesn't kill people. He's caught and handed over to the police, but what's the result?" Link said. "A criminal has to be caught repeatedly. Arkham Asylum is like a paradise for criminals."
"This is utterly absurd. If you're going to do something, don't do it at all; if you're going to do it, you need to be prepared for the consequences. Otherwise, what kind of person is he?"
"How many criminals can be punished?"
Clark could hear it; although he was in a bad mood, his hearing was fine and he could hear it all the time.
So he came out again and asked, "But this is in accordance with the law!"
"Ha~" Link chuckled dismissively. "The law? That's just a game for the rich. Even if they're convicted, they can bribe a doctor and get away with it. And what about ordinary people?"
"If you want to uphold justice, you must be aware that not killing those who have committed heinous crimes is giving them the opportunity to kill good people."
"With our power, you could even rule the entire Earth; in that case, you would be the law."
Clark looked at Link in surprise and asked, "You've taken control?"
"Me?" Link laughed. "I don't care about good guys or bad guys at all. I'm just doing my own thing."
"If someone hadn't threatened the Earth and my safety, I wouldn't have taken action at all. In fact, when I did take action, I concealed my strength and used my suit and weapons as means."
"He's kept himself hidden, and usually just offers suggestions."
Link's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, completely laced with his own agenda, but that's not the point.
"Alright, that's my idea. You can figure out the rest yourself; after all, I'm just a stranger," Link said. "Martha, let's rebuild the house!"
"..." The topic shifted so abruptly that Martha looked at Link speechlessly. "It's difficult, and we don't have much money."
"Why would we need money to build a house?" Link said. "We can just go to the market, cut down the big trees, and move them over."
"And even if it costs money, I can just go to Mexico, find a drug dealer, and rob him. It's that simple."
Clark asked, "Are you this capricious?"
"That depends on the situation. It wouldn't be unreasonable for me to kill the drug dealer, would it?" Link said. "It wouldn't be unreasonable for me to rob him either!"
"There are plenty of trees in the forest, wouldn't it be better if we cut down a few?"
How much forest fires burn each year?
"At worst, I'll just go put out a fire."
"..." Clark was speechless; his and Link's lines of thought were completely out of sync.
Link checked his watch, then put on his battle suit. "I'll be staying here for a few days, waiting for the exploration ship to be discovered, so I'll be in charge of building the house. My skills are top-notch."
"After saying that, he flew away!"
Martha turned to Clark and asked, "Clark, should we tidy up the house?"
"..." Clark was at a loss for words. "Let him build it over there for now. Maybe he'll lose interest soon!"
"Okay!" Martha didn't know what to say either; Link did seem a bit willful.
Link was indeed reluctant to live in Clark's house, but he was very interested in the Kryptonian spaceship, so he needed to go and check it out and have his genes tested first.
Clark's biological father collected knowledge about 100,000 planets for him, which is what Link needs most; he needs to figure out where he is.
Especially regarding the quantum realm, if he wants to leave this place, does he need the quantum realm?
He went straight to an oak forest, cut down dozens of large trees in the middle, and then used his mind to control them to fly back, but suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.
With a thought, he actually opened a spatial portal. The power of the four Infinity Stones was all within his body. His body was strong enough that the special abilities of the four stones were activated within him.
It was as if the Spirit Gem gave him telekinesis!
He crossed the spatial passage directly, then manipulated the trees one by one to fly over. Clark heard the noise and came out to see what was happening, and his mouth dropped open in surprise!
Link smiled at him and said, "You've read the comics, right? I brought four Infinity Stones with me, but they don't belong to this universe. Before they disappeared, they transferred their power to me, stimulating my physical abilities."
Dozens of tall oak trees stood together. Link closed the spatial portal, then looked at Martha and said, "Could you find me some paper and a pen?"
"I need a design sketch!"
"Of course!" Martha was also quite surprised. Coming to her senses, she hurriedly grabbed some paper and pen. "I don't have much paper."
"It's alright, my brain is very powerful." Link waved his hand, and a design was completed. Clark could see it clearly, but Martha could not.
