Chapter 142
Inside the Life Support Pods were rows of vines, each with a transparent protective membrane, used to nurture Krypton embryos.
The vines transport nutrients, and the protective membrane mimics the name of Zigong (a homophone for "Yigong" in Chinese). The embryo inside will gradually grow into a baby, which is the process of nurturing Kryptonians.
The process and principle of gestation are the same as natural childbirth, except that Kryptonians' technology allows for asexual reproduction and transfers the ten-month pregnancy process from the mother's body to a Life Support Pods.
Su Quan told Barbara and Veronica about the method of creating Kryptonians, and also had Friday give a brief introduction to the history of Krypton and the Kryptonian abilities using a holographic projection.
I also mentioned Clark Kent.
Barbara was just there for the spectacle, but Veronica had already grasped the meaning behind Su Quan's words.
"You want to use this method to fulfill my wish? To breed a daughter for me using the methods of breeding Kryptonians?" Veronica asked Su Quan.
Su Quan nodded. "How about a Krypton daughter? Kryptonians may follow the technological path on Krypton, but on Earth, they can become God among mortals just by basking in the sun!"
"Heat Vision, flight, Steel Body, superhuman strength and speed, etc., the Kryptonian abilities are still very strong!"
Veronica said, "Could I meet with Clark Kent before making a decision?"
Su Quan smiled and said, "Okay!"
Veronica nodded, then asked, "If I agree, what price do I need to pay?"
Alien spaceships, alien technology, the cultivation of aliens, and so on—such big things were just revealed to me, and I was even allowed to participate?
She never believed in the possibility of something for nothing!
Su Quan laughed and said, "You want a daughter, but I want a Krypton!"
"I'll allow you to raise a daughter, in exchange—"
"I will raise Krypton army for you!"
"Yes!"
Su Quan smiled and nodded, "This doesn't count as making a wish, it's more like a transaction. So if you agree, you can make another wish with me!"
"I'd like to see Clark Kent first."
The fact that Veronica used her only wish to have a daughter shows how much she values this 'daughter'. She certainly wouldn't make a hasty decision before understanding the Kryptonians' situation.
"Whoosh!"
Su Quan waved his hand and opened a Teleportation Portal.
"In Smallville, Kansas, the Kent Couple, who adopted Kryptonians, run a farm. They named the Kryptonians Clark Kent. You can buy a house near their home, or just buy a farm."
Veronica nodded and asked, "Can I be direct?"
"They know me. Clark Kent himself doesn't know it, but his adoptive parents Jonathan and Martha, do. I told them about Krypton."
"Take care of the rest first, and I'll come over later to introduce you to them."
"Good."
Veronica and Barbara turned and walked into the Teleportation Portal.
After they left, Su Quan explored the spaceship thoroughly and, while he was at it, had Friday change the authentication process.
He didn't want Clark Kent or Kara Zo El to be able to board the ship at any time.
Even if this spaceship originally belonged to Krypton, to Kara Zor El!
Friday completely removed the authentication procedures and permissions for Krypton and the House of El, and now only Su Quan has the highest authority over this spaceship.
In addition, the bound owner of the Void Battle Bead also has the qualification to enter and, to a certain extent, control this spaceship.
A few hours later, Su Quan, who had gained a deeper understanding of the spaceship, came to the outside of the spaceship and used the Pym Particles Palm Cannon to shrink the originally huge spaceship into a keychain-like 'model', and then teleported it to Veronica and Barbara.
Smallville, Kansas.
A small farm just over ten minutes from the Kent Couple' home had just changed owners a few hours earlier.
In just a few hours, the original farm owners and their family happily packed up and moved away. Their house was completely renovated and almost unrecognizable.
The exterior of the house remained largely unchanged, but the interior layout, decoration, furniture, and so on underwent a complete transformation.
Especially regarding furniture, everything from sofas and dining tables to wardrobes and beds has been replaced with expensive high-end brands.
To put it simply, the cost of furniture alone is enough to buy two more farms of the same size.
The lives of the wealthy are so simple and unpretentious!
When Su Quan arrived, Barbara and Veronica had already taken off their thick coats and were sitting on the sofa in light clothing, quietly resting with their eyes wide open.
Other tasks can be left to the workers, but you'll have to take care of putting away your personal belongings yourself.
Especially since these items are all newly purchased, and I have to unpack them myself after they arrive, it takes even more time and effort.
Barbara was alright, but Veronica was definitely exhausted.
Su Quan's appearance made the two of them sit up straight instantly. Before he could speak, Veronica started talking about the farm.
The farm cost $200,000 to buy, and the renovation and new household items, especially those for Su Quan, cost nearly $600,000 in total.
In total, it's around 800,000 US dollars.
"Time is too tight. If you give me three months, no, two months, I can build the best farm in this town for you!"
Veronica offered a somewhat regretful explanation.
Su Quan raised an eyebrow. "For me?"
Veronica nodded. "I bought this farm in your name."
"You're quite the clever little devil."
Su Quan smiled gently. Veronica's quick wit was indeed indispensable in enabling her to rise from nothing to become a female tycoon with a net worth of at least 100 million yuan in such a family.
Putting everything else aside, how long could she possibly observe the Kryptonians? A day? A month? A year? Even if she were willing to spend more time observing, Su Quan would never agree.
So the farm is basically just for show, especially since Su Quan knows the Kent Couple, making the farm even less valuable to Veronica's observation of the Kryptonians.
However, when Su Quan asked her to buy a farm, she didn't ask any unnecessary questions. Not only did she buy it, but she also bought it in Su Quan's name and spent a lot of money to redecorate it!
It doesn't matter how much money it is. Su Quan doesn't lack the 800,000, and neither does Veronica. But the way she handled things makes people feel comfortable.
"Go change your clothes, I'll look around, and then I'll take you to the Kent Family's for dinner."
"Good."
Veronica and Barbara got up and went upstairs, while Su Quan and out.
Needless to say, the interior furnishings are excellent, and the outdoor environment is also very nice, especially the air and night view, which are much better than those in Washington D.C.. Su Quan thinks he can live here for a while in the future, which will be a good opportunity to change Clark Kent's personality.
I won't attack unless attacked. That's fine!
If someone offends me, should I give them three chances?
That's going a bit too far!
Su Quan was even planning to make him the leader of the Superman Legion. If he were as saintly as in the original story, the entire Superman Legion would probably go astray. So, while we don't expect him to turn into a villain like Homelander, at least he shouldn't suffer injustice and be bullied.
Uh, it doesn't count if I bully you!
Half an hour later, Su Quan brought Veronica and Barbara to the Kent Couple's house for a visit.
Veronica thoughtfully prepared several bottles of inexpensive but delicious Red Wine and also gifted Clark Kent a Lego set.
The Kent Couple and Clark welcomed their arrival, especially the Kent Couple. The fact that someone knew they had adopted aliens and had no evil intentions was a relief and comfort to them.
The Kent Couple's love for Clark Kent was unquestionable, but they certainly had their worries as well.
If someone knows about Clark Kent's background, then if something really happens in the future, whether it's good or bad, someone can offer them some advice.
The only thing that made the Kent Couple uncomfortable was that Su Quan's female companion this time was different again!
Last time there were three, this time there are two. If Clark Kent gets too close to him, won't he pick up some bad personality traits or ideas?
The group chatted and laughed in the restaurant. Barbara talked about interesting things at the museum, Veronica talked about the pharmaceutical company, and then they strolled around Clark Kent with Su Quan. The atmosphere was pleasant for all.
The meal lasted for more than two hours before Su Quan finally took his leave with Barbara and Veronica.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tap Clark Kent on the head and casually unleash a Super Healing, that is, Self-Healing Ability.
Back on the farm.
Su Quan smiled and asked Veronica, "How are you feeling?"
Veronica pondered, "He looks no different from an ordinary human child. He's cute and well-behaved, but I need to observe him for a week!"
"Can.
"I've taken care of everything at the company, and I'll be staying here for a while."
Barbara interjected, "I'm not staying here with you. I need to go back to my office to look up information."
It was already enough that she helped Veronica get to know Su Quan and helped her move. She had seen Kryptonians before, and they were nothing special. For Barbara, nothing was more important than finding Asteria, except for Su Quan.
Barbara got up decisively and directly got rid of Su Quan to take her back to the museum's office.
"Do you need me to come with you?" Su Quan asked Veronica.
Veronica smiled and shook her head, "I'm used to living alone, it's nothing to me."
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."
