Chapter 2582: Rustling Down (77)

~10 min read 1,924 words

Shiler put down his phone and said to Victor and Anna, who were fishing happily, "Wei Lun and the others have arrived, I'm going to pick them up. If you really caught fish, I don't mean I really believe you can catch fish, but in case someone takes out a freezing gun or something to cheat, put the fish in the freezer next to it."

"I seem to hear someone say words like 'freezing'!" Victor shouted at the top of his voice, "Then I have to remind him to stop pointing fingers at the insider!"

Shiler shook his head helplessly, walked past the grass slope, and saw the small truck. A car of bread people got off the truck.

The Robins rushed out of the carriage, each with large and small bags, and Raven walked out last.

She dressed up carefully today, wearing a light purple chiffon dress, letting her red hair hang down, only gathering a few strands from her temples and ears to the back of her head, and tying them up with a white hairband.

After the mysterious light that was gestating in her eyes disappeared, she had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, but unlike Bruce's azure eyes, her eyes were dark blue, like high-quality sapphires, and also like the mysterious deep sea.

Jason and Tim rushed over quickly the moment they saw Shiler, while Raven and Dick walked behind shoulder to shoulder.

"Professor! We brought you a big gift!!" Tim said. He was wearing a sportswear and a gray sun-proof jacket today. Jason was the old three, sportswear, jeans, and jacket.

The difference was that Dick was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and brown wide-leg pants today, and even wearing a pair of expensive cowhide Martin boots, the whole person looked neat and energetic, and also had the style of a literary teenager.

"Look at him." Tim touched Shiler's arm with his elbow and lowered his voice, "Like a peacock opening its screen."

"Don't talk nonsense, peacocks can't toss as much as him." Jason yawned and said, "This outfit was chosen by us together. We tried on clothes until midnight yesterday. Rachel will definitely like it, because she said she likes quiet and gentle people, how about it?"

Shiler looked at Dick up and down, feeling that he was indeed different. Sure enough, true love is a catalyst for progress.

Perhaps because of Bruce's influence, the dressing style of the Robins in this universe where Shiler is is whatever is comfortable, wearing school uniforms when going to school, sportswear when participating in clubs after class, and custom-made suits for major occasions.

Many people have this trouble, that is, what to wear for what occasion is not difficult for them, the problem is that they don't know what to wear once they are in private occasions.

Especially when wanting to show their style to specific people in private occasions, they neither know what style is best to dress up as, nor do they know what style the other party will like, picking and choosing without knowing what to do, and finally choosing to give up on themselves.

Style is a very metaphysical thing. Sometimes someone trying a style opposite to what they usually wear will amaze everyone, but sometimes it will be thunderous, making people want to roar, it is better to stay in the comfort zone.

Fortunately, the children of Wei En Manor have their own extremely unique aesthetics. Tim likes to wear preppy style in private occasions, generally shirts plus sweater jackets plus casual ties. Thanks to the good genes of the Drake family, Tim is tall and thin, and this style always reminds people of the most handsome and best-performing senior in school.

Jason has always liked to take the cool brother style, and likes the symbols of Cat Getan street culture the most. He can be called an excellent successor to Bruce's rap career. Wherever he goes, he is black short sleeves plus arm guards, ripped long pants and sneakers, baseball caps and gold chains. This is really Tupac coming and calling "bro".

In contrast, Dick's personal style has not been strong enough. He wears sportswear regardless of whether there is anything or not, and he is actually the one who is least keen on shopping among the three. Of course, it may also be because he has to learn ballet and doesn't have so much time to wander on the street.

So Shiler's impression of Dick's dressing style before was not very deep. However, this outfit today is really suitable. Just look at Raven's flashing eyes.

Perhaps because Dick in this universe has never been Nightwing, has never been Batman's assistant, and has never broken up with Batman to become an independent hero, but besides studying, he learns dance, he has a gentle temperament that other universes' Dick doesn't have.

In Shiler's view, with Raven's personality, it is very difficult for her to accept males with obvious aggressiveness, because she has been required not to have violent emotional fluctuations for the past ten years, and naturally does not look forward to any vigorous feelings, or she dare not have any vigorous feelings.

In love, it is often necessary to respond to aggression with aggression, and only when they are evenly matched can they last long. A person who is ashamed of releasing feelings all year round can neither release nature naturally nor be afraid of others' released nature, full of victim delusion that may lose control.

So Raven's ideal opposite sex must be gentle, inclusive, and most importantly, must be restrained.

"Restraint" is the most important personality advantage Shiler saw in Dick, including not only Dick in this universe, but also all universes' Nightwing. This is an extremely rare personality trait, which even Batman doesn't possess.

Especially in the moment of extreme love and extreme hate, he can still be calm and restrained, but not completely ruthless, following feelings, also possessing reason, making the most balanced decision between the two, which is the most enviable talent in the world.

This means that after he makes any decision, he has room to turn around. After a person has experienced a lot, he will understand that the youthful spirit that refuses to bow his head is just a passing cloud, and being able to have regret medicine at any time is the precious wealth of life.

Dick and Raven were obviously a bit shy because of Shiler's gaze. Raven brought a lot of boxes with telekinesis, while Shiler looked at Tim and said, "What is the big gift you said? Is it just these ingredients?"

"Of course not." Tim nudged his chin toward the truck.

A figure gradually walked out on the slope of the lawn. Shiler widened his eyes slightly. He took the initiative to step forward to greet and said, "Alfred? How do you have time to come over?"

Shiler naturally sent an invitation to Alfred, but usually the old butler would not leave Wei En Manor, especially when Bruce was not there. He had the responsibility of guarding the manor, and would not go out easily, so Shiler didn't hold much hope.

Alfred sighed helplessly and said, "If I don't come, the manor might not exist."

Aisha jumped up and ran over, rushed into Shiler's arms again and said, "If Grandpa Afu doesn't come, I will gnaw the roof of the manor, anyway, they also want to build a new house!"

Shiler touched Aisha's head and said, "You just want to gnaw the roof, right?"

Killer Croc finally walked over, and with him was Jack.

It's been a long time since I saw him, but Jack has changed a lot. He didn't wear that dirty work clothes again, and even wore a clean sportswear. Although that green hair was still messy, the black at the roots grew a lot, almost half and half with the green hair.

His hair seemed to have not been cut for a long time, hanging on the side of his face, which softened the outline of that bony face a lot. His eyes were still deeply sunken in the eye sockets, and he still had heavy dark circles, but the Joker makeup on his face was not drawn very carefully, it seemed that he painted a blood basin mouth before going to bed last night, but rubbed it off when washing his face in the morning.

Overall, he looked more like a hippie band member who was unconventional

After looking him over, Shiler said, "You look like you haven't slept in half a month. What's wrong with you?"

Jack waved his hand and said, "It's all the moving company's fault."

Beside him, Killer Croc opened his large mouth and said, "Thank these little guys. We started cooperating with the truck drivers ahead of schedule. Jack is one of the few among them who is literate and can do statistical work, so he's been a bit busy lately."

"A bit busy?!!" Jack raised his voice and said, "You piled all that damn paperwork on me!! I've only slept five hours this whole week!!"

"Look on the bright side." Shiler clearly knew how to appease the Joker. He said, "Bruce probably hasn't slept five hours this week either. You have to solve the problems of the truck drivers and the moving company, while he has to solve the problems of the entire United States and even the whole world."

Jack laughed immediately; it was hard to tell if it was genuine happiness or schadenfreude.

With his hands in his pockets, he strolled along with the crowd. Shiler looked back at him and said, "Do you know that another Joker has come over?"

"What? Who? That talk show host?" Jack curled his lip and said, "His jokes are really boring. I don't know how Bruce took a liking to him. Boring to death!"

"It's not him, it's another one. He's been harassing me lately."

"Don't tell me you're going to become Batman."

"Far from it. He just looks like he has nothing to do."

Jack took two quick steps to Shiler's side, twisted his neck to deliberately look up at Shiler from below, and asked, "Sounds like you have an idea."

"He'll be here in a while. You'd better steer clear of him."

"I don't think there's a more interesting Joker in this world than me. You can barely count as second. The rest of those masters of cold jokes should hurry back to their beds to sleep."

Shiler smiled and said, "I've prepared a funny big joke for him. You'll know soon enough."

Then Clark and Diana arrived. Clark flew over with Lois. Shiler was somewhat surprised that Clark had revealed his identity to Lois so early.

Although it was somewhat unscientific, Superman was indeed an anonymous hero. In some comics, he and Lois had even had misunderstandings because of the identity issue.

Shiler gave Clark an inquisitive look, and Clark returned a puzzled look.

So Shiler looked at Lois. Lois was also a bit puzzled, then suddenly realized, and turned to look at Diana.

This matter had to do with Diana too? Shiler was even more puzzled.

As it turned out, Diana took a huge pile of ingredients out of her storage space. All kinds of vegetables and meats were sorted, cut, and wrapped in plastic wrap, waiting to be chosen.

Clark flashed a standard eight-tooth smile, looked at Shiler, and said, "I wasn't sure if you had prepared ingredients, but I brought the best. Thank you for your invitation."
