Tokatsu Scientist in the World of American Comics

Chapter 40 Instructor Gaoli, Update Three Views

That night, Gauri and Zatanna returned to the Kent home with a bruised and swollen Clark.

One is that Clark, who has returned to normal, is full of guilt and is eager to apologize to his adoptive parents; second, he also wants to ask the Kents how they picked him up; to the North Pole.

"Oh my God...Clark! My poor boy, what's the matter with you?"

After Martha opened the door, her first reaction when she saw Clark was to cover her mouth in distress. She had never seen Clark look so miserable.

"Don't worry, you'll recover if you get some sunshine tomorrow morning." Gao Li interjected.

Only then did the Kents notice the two people behind Clark, and Jonathan frowned.

"You...you seem to be the people who came to Clark during the day, right?"

"That's right," Gao Li shrugged, "I said we are Clark's friends, you still don't believe me."

Thinking that they came back with Clark, Jonathan felt that he might have misunderstood them.

"I apologize for my attitude during the day, mainly because I have met almost all of Clark's friends, but your faces are relatively unfamiliar..."

"Clark, you haven't introduced your new friend to us yet." Martha said softly.

"This is Mr. Wayne, this is Miss Zaatara," Clark said, "and... Mom, I'm really sorry, Dad, I'm sorry I hurt you."

As he spoke, Clark lowered his head in shame, and Jonathan and Martha were taken aback.

"Clark, you... have you changed back?"

Clark nodded silently, and the family hugged each other wordlessly.

Afterwards, the Kents warmly invited Gauri and Zatana into the house, and prepared sumptuous tea and snacks for them before they had time to ask Clark.

"Clark, who beat you like this?"

"Uh..." Clark faltered, "It's Mr. Wayne, but he did it out of kindness to help me recover."

The Kent couple also became hesitant to speak, thanking Gao Li for helping them transform Clark back, but also feeling that Gao Li's attack was too ruthless, and their moods were extremely conflicted.

And they knew very well that Clark was invulnerable and powerful, but he was beaten by Gao Li so much that he almost didn't even recognize his mother. On the other hand, Gao Li was unscathed. This...

"Is he also an alien?" Jonathan muttered subconsciously.

Clark immediately heard: "Dad, you really know that I am an alien, right? How did you find me in the first place?"

Facing Clark's persistent questioning, the Kents could not hide it and told him what happened back then.

"The little spaceship carrying you, I have been hiding in the basement of the warehouse. After your friend leaves, I can take you to see it."

"That's impossible," Gao Li poked his head out like a ghost, "If you want to find the Fortress of Solitude in the North Pole of Nuo Da, you must have the key on the spaceship."

The Kents were taken aback and quickly looked back at Clark.

"Clark, Mr. Wayne also knows about your life experience? And what about the North Pole?"

"I haven't had time to tell you yet," Clark scratched his head in embarrassment, "tomorrow I will go to the North Pole with Mr. Wayne, and he said that he can find answers about my life experience there."

Jonathan glanced at Gao Li with extreme vigilance, and suddenly a new friend he had never seen before appeared and said that he wanted to take his son to the North Pole. It was really like child abduction.

Gao Li also saw their worries, shook his head and said: "Relax, you see I can beat Clark like that, you can't stop him from doing anything."

"Even so, I'll bring him back to tell you first. Is that enough to prove that I have no ill intentions?"

Jonathan hesitated: "Having said that, we don't have that much savings to afford Clark to go to the North Pole..."

Not to mention the cost of going to the North Pole, Clark almost couldn't pay back the credit card he spent a while ago.

Gao Li said lightly: "It's okay, I'll reimburse you for the whole process, and you don't have to feel indebted, just treat it as a reward for saving many people in the past."

Jonathan said solemnly: "I have always taught Clark that saving people should not ask for anything in return! So..."

"Why can't you ask for rewards for saving people?" Gao Li interrupted him, "You asked your own son to be a saint, have you ever thought about the bad influence it will have on other people?"

"...Huh? How bad is this, it's obviously a very righteous thought!"

Jonathan retorted unconvinced, why didn't he know that he could still influence outsiders?

"There was a wise man in an ancient Eastern country. He scolded his disciple because he saved people but refused to be rewarded. The wise man thought this was a very bad example."

Gao Li's words made Jonathan even more confused. Shouldn't saving people without expecting anything in return be a positive example?
Gauri explained: "You think, he saved people and refused to pay, which brought him a very good reputation. So after that, what should other people do when they are faced with situations that can save people?"

"If he saves people but receives a reward, people will naturally compare him with that disciple and think that he is morally inferior for saving people and actually wanting to repay him."

"If things go on like this, saving people will become a thankless chore. Except for those true saints, everyone will give up saving people because of various concerns."

"This will lead to a lot of people who should have been rescued but failed to be rescued in the end, and it will also cause many people who could have saved others to fail in the end. After all, you can't ask everyone to sacrifice themselves for others!"

After hearing these words, the Kents and Clark were stunned on the spot. They had never considered this angle before.

But after thinking about it carefully, I have to admit that what Gao Li said seems very reasonable...

Could it be that they were really wrong? ? ?

The rest of the night was spent by the three of them in their own contemplation. Gao Li was not here to give them any ideological education lessons. After the tea, he took Zatanna away and left.

After returning to the hotel, Gao Li lay in his room and clicked on the system interface that had just flashed a new prompt.

"It seems that my hard work in starting the company in the past six months has paid off... I actually gave an SS-level lottery directly!"

Gao Li immediately lifted his spirits, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was more than that.

It should also include the influence caused by the master of magic, combined with the violent beating of Superman tonight, combined to allow him to get a reward of up to SS rank!

"No matter what, let's start pumping!"

Gao Li washed his hands several times with a sense of ritual, and worshiped the Sanqing Buddha God... and himself in his heart before ordering the lottery machine to start spinning.

When the lottery machine stopped, it decomposed into light spots all over the sky on the spot.
