The fighter jet had already crashed.

Fortunately, Bruce had contacted another helicopter.

By the time everyone returned to Bruce's base, it was already noon.

After lunch, Bruce arranged several rooms for everyone to rest.

After two days of fighting, even physiques several times stronger than ordinary people's

would still feel exhausted.

No one refused, and they all thanked him.

However, Lin Feng did not rest at Bruce's estate.

He asked Bruce for some money, then flew off alone.

After leaving, Lin Feng chose a Sea Beach.

He put on sunglasses, lay on a beach chair, and basked in the sun while listening to the waves of the Sea.

All he needed was sunlight to replenish his stamina and energy.

It was incredibly convenient!

The Sea breeze drifted by, carrying the occasional cry of Sea gulls and murmurs from beachgoers.

Lin Feng thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere.

It would be perfect if Susan were here with him right now.

When he went back, he would take Susan on a vacation by the Sea!

Thinking of Susan, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the Superman Bracers on his wrist.

Once he returned, he planned to give Susan the other Superman Bracers.

Then he would install a piece of Platinum Kryptonite in them.

That way, he would not need to worry about Susan's safety.

He could even adjust the bracers into a matching couple's design.

Lin Feng liked these bracers!

Bored as he basked in the sun, Lin Feng opened the system shop.

He wanted to see whether it sold Special Kryptonite.

He had used it once before, and the effect had genuinely been excellent.

If it did, he could consider buying several more in case of emergencies.

He opened the shop.

Black Widow's original underwear.

Today's special: 5 Reputation Points.

Lin Feng's mouth twitched. He remembered that it used to cost 10 Reputation Points.

He ignored it outright and searched for what he needed.

After looking around, he actually found it.

Special Red Kryptonite—1,000,000 Reputation Points per piece.

Special Platinum Kryptonite—2,000,000 Reputation Points per piece.

The prices were fairly reasonable, not too expensive.

Platinum Kryptonite could give an ordinary person Superman's abilities for two hours.

Honestly, that was not expensive.

He continued scrolling. There were several types of Kryptonite alone under Light.

Lin Feng spotted the cheapest piece of Kryptonite among them.

Special Gold Kryptonite—200,000 Reputation Points per piece

Effect: Causes the wearer to lose all Superman abilities for 12 hours.

Lin Feng: "????"

There was actually Kryptonite like this?

"System, why can't I find Superman Bracers?"

After searching for ages without finding Superman Bracers, Lin Feng finally asked.

"What do you need them for? Didn't the gift pack give you two?"

"I want to know whether wearing several more and installing two more pieces of Kryptonite would make me stronger..."

"...It would not, Host."

"What if I wear two bracers?"

"If I put Platinum Kryptonite on my left hand and Gold Kryptonite on my right, what would happen?" Lin Feng's imagination ran wild.

Gold Kryptonite would erase all of Superman's abilities.

Platinum Kryptonite could grant an ordinary person Superman's abilities.

So what would happen if he wore them at the same time?

Once that curiosity arose, it became impossible to suppress the urge to test it.

The system was full of question marks.

"Why don't you try it?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng looked at the Gold Kryptonite in the shop with some hesitation.

His finger hovered up and down, wavering over whether to buy it.

In the end, he gave up on the purchase.

"Forget it..." Lin Feng sighed. "What if I explode? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

Spending several million Reputation Points on this bit of curiosity felt far too wasteful...

"By the way, System, are Superman Bracers actually for sale? Why couldn't I find them?"

The system popped up. "Superman Bracers are in the Level 2 shop. They cost 2,000,000 Reputation Points each."

"Why is one bracer so expensive?" Lin Feng frowned and asked in confusion.

Aside from installing gems for their effects, Superman Bracers merely improved his efficiency in absorbing solar radiation.

Lin Feng felt that function alone

was not worth 2,000,000 Reputation Points.

The system quickly answered Lin Feng's question.

"That price is not expensive," the system said. "Superman Bracers are several times sturdier than Vibranium!"

"They also possess a certain degree of malleability. When fully expanded, they can cover your entire forearm."

"This will multiply your efficiency in absorbing solar radiation several times over!"

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. "They can do that too?"

Lin Feng looked at the bracer in his hand and willed it to move.

In an instant, the bracer flowed like liquid, rapidly traveling up from Lin Feng's wrist.

It soon covered his entire forearm.

It was like wearing a black sleeve.

Lin Feng perked up. Just as expected.

His radiation absorption efficiency had increased, becoming several times faster than when it was in bracer form!

Good stuff!

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, but this still seemed worth more than 2,000,000 Reputation Points, didn't it?

It seemed the system sensed Lin Feng's confusion.

The system appeared again to explain. "Host, your Superman Bracers can do far more than just hold Kryptonite!"

"They can also embed all six Infinity Stones!"

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised, though only for an instant.

"Can't Iron Man make a glove that can embed the Stones too?"

"...Fine, you can choose not to buy them!" The system seemed speechless from his retort.

After tossing out that line, it stopped speaking.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes. What a shady merchant!

He continued browsing the shop. Many items he had never even seen before were on sale.

There were useful and useless things alike, ranging in price from a few Reputation Points to millions.

He even saw the Mark 50.

The nanotech armor made by Tony Stark.

But it was in the Level 2 shop, and its icon was gray. He could not buy it.

Lin Feng clicked his tongue, planning to buy a set to play with once he unlocked Level 2 shop access.

Almost no boy could resist the allure of Iron Man armor.

Lin Feng was no exception.

Suddenly, as Lin Feng browsed the shop and searched for more bizarre products,

The tourists on the Sea Beach abruptly stirred, interrupting his shopping.

"It's Superman!"

"It really is Superman!"

"Superman's here!"

The tourists all looked up at the sky and cried out.

Lin Feng's mind stirred as well. He had heard an unusual sound cutting through the air.

When he looked up, Clark had already flown above his head.

He was not wearing Superman's suit, but casual clothes.

Lin Feng looked at him in confusion.

What was Clark doing here?

Clark landed, smiled at the tourists gathering around him, then turned to Lin Feng.

"I'm sorry for finding you this way."

"But I asked Bruce, and he said you didn't have any contact information..."

Lin Feng scratched his head.

Well, he indeed did not carry a phone or any other communication device.

It was not easy for these people to find him, much less contact him.

"Alright... Clark." Lin Feng shrugged and asked, "Did you need something?"

Clark nodded. "You said you would tell me some things related to Kryptonians!"

"In such a hurry?" Lin Feng had not expected Clark to come looking for him again after only half a day.

Clark nodded again, looking slightly apologetic. "I don't know when you're leaving, Lin!"

After returning home and seeing his mother and girlfriend, Clark had not spent much time with them before coming to find Lin Feng again.

He could accompany his family anytime after Lin Feng left.

Lin Feng had not said when he was leaving. Afraid of missing this opportunity, Clark had hurried over.

That made sense. Lin Feng could not argue with it.

"Alright... I don't have anything to do right now anyway." Lin Feng stood up.

"Talk here?"

Beachgoers had practically surrounded the two of them three layers deep, both inside and out.

But their awe and fear of Clark kept them from daring to approach.

"Of course not."

"Follow me!" With that, Clark floated into the sky and flew in one direction.

Lin Feng shook his head at the sight and slowly rose into the air to follow him.

He left behind a crowd of stunned onlookers.

There were two Supermen?
