Mindy pouted: "Training. I have been training since I was five years old."
Joseph just didn't believe it: there are many people in this world who start training at a young age, and Muay Thai fighters even get beaten to a bloody pulp in the ring at a young age, but no one has ever seen such terrifying power.
The kick that Mindy just gave was enough to kill one of the kids on the spot.
Seeing his unbelieving expression, Mindy didn't explain, but changed the subject: "You probably... um, you can't accept that kind of training, so why not try a more feasible plan?"
She didn't believe that Luke would be willing to put Joseph in a bulletproof vest and train him with a gun.
Joseph became interested: "For example?"
Mindy gestured with her hands in front of her face, "That's it, and... I'm ironman, understand?"
Joseph: (﹀_﹀”)
Because he couldn't win the fight, he magnanimously endured the insult.
Mindy laughed and bumped him with her shoulder: "Don't be angry, I'm serious. Don't you have a good brain? If you work hard, you might be another Tony Stark."
Joseph looked up at the sky speechlessly: "Do you know how old Tony Stark is now?"
Mindy was stunned and couldn't remember it for a moment.
She is a big fan of Batman and wants to know how old Batman is, but unfortunately she is not given the opportunity.
As for how old the middle-aged man who always made a fuss in the group was, she had no idea.
You don't even know how old he is, you obviously don't take him seriously. Joseph sighed, "He's already thirty-six years old. Even if you count from when he became Iron Man, he's thirty-four. I'm only eight years old this year, still a child."
Mindy subconsciously raised her finger: What is thirty-four minus eight? Uh, twenty-five.
It is obviously too much to point out a path for others twenty-five years later, but it may not necessarily lead to success.
She chuckled and stroked his head again, "Because you are too young. If you work harder, you can make your own steel armor by the time you are 18, and surpass him."
Joseph: “hoho, thank you for your encouragement.”
Do you really think I don't read online news? Iron Man's suit costs hundreds of millions of dollars, why not use your own head to build it? Although he was complaining in his heart, it also aroused some thoughts.
Mindy didn't know that her casual joke had really made this little brother think about it. She just pulled him up and said, "Let's go, I heard the car parked. It must be Nikki and Monica. Wait, it's another happy day of training."
Joseph: Did you enjoy beating me
After the training, Joseph, who was taken home by Luke, picked up the tablet and quickly checked the news about Iron Man on the Internet.
After dinner, the two brothers sat in the living room. Luke drank tea and watched the news, and casually asked about Joseph's training progress.
Suddenly, Joseph said, "Luke, I want to be Iron Man."
Luke was stunned: What? Do you want me to kill that young master and help you take over
Immediately discarding this ridiculous thought, he nodded and hummed: "Why?"
Joseph remained silent, and Luke did not urge him.
Joseph is different from Claire, he is too smart.
Of course Claire is not stupid, but she loves sports more and rarely thinks about deep issues.
People like this actually live a happier life.
Although Joseph was only eight years old, he had extraordinary intelligence.
In the past three years, the family's consumption level has risen from ordinary to middle class, and Catherine has invested considerable resources in his education.
Catherine was an excellent middle school teacher. Many children graduated from her school and went on to work in society. You can tell what kind of people these students became by looking through the alumni directory.
She knew very well that knowledge could change destiny, and that was absolutely true.
Joseph, who received sufficient educational resources, grew rapidly.
If Luke hadn't firmly opposed it, this little guy might have joined the Mensa Club and started a crazy journey of skipping grades.
But Luke feels that a person’s childhood should have more relaxing and beautiful memories, rather than just time spent studying for the sake of studying.
Finally, everyone asked Joseph for his opinion, and he chose to play for a few more years.
He likes playing games, watching cartoons, and criticizing little girls with sharp tongue. He is no different from ordinary children.
Joseph was just precocious, not a genius.
This is what Luke is most grateful for.
Many geniuses are really born different from ordinary people.
While gaining extremely high intelligence, they lack certain normal emotions.
If parents and relatives continue to force him to grow, they will only ruin him completely.
Luke could only be thankful that Claire was relatively ordinary, otherwise he would have been so annoyed by these two siblings.
This is not treating bad guys and criminals, but relatives, who are not even adults.
It was impossible for Luke to use all his tricks on them, so he could only guide them carefully.
For example, his expression now is very formal and he can't smile as he did to Claire.
Joseph tilted his head and thought for a moment: "To... become more handsome?"
Luke's face darkened immediately: "Don't talk like Claire, you have no interest in celebrities at all."
Joseph chuckled, but he was not embarrassed by being exposed: "Well, I'm just interested in some things about Iron Man, not the gossips, you know."
Luke took a sip of the tea, taking the opportunity to feel his younger brother's mental fluctuations: "Well, you don't want to be a playboy, so you like those steel shells? Or technology?"
Joseph frowned, thought for a moment and shook his head: "No. Although those shells... well, the armor is interesting, what I am interested in should be those mysterious and unknown powers."
Luke paused: "For example?"
Joseph was silent for a moment: "The big monster in Daxi City, the Chitauri, and the colorful light column in the central garden of New York City."
Luke exclaimed in his heart, he didn't expect that his little brother would be interested in mysterious powers. This is more dangerous than being obsessed with science.
He was silent for a moment, his mind racing for a moment before he asked, "Do you want to have that kind of power yourself, or are you simply curious about their existence?"
Joseph thought for a moment before answering, "If I want to become a wizard, I'd still be willing. But becoming an ugly monster? Haha, how can I find a girlfriend then?"
Luke was surprised: "Don't you always think those female classmates are stupid and annoying?"
Joseph looked at them with disdain: "Just because I look down on them doesn't mean I have to make myself ugly."
Luke understood: "Being strong is only a temporary thing, but being handsome is a lifelong thing."
Joseph was stunned, and nodded decisively to agree with this point of view: "That's right."
After a few words of nonsense, Luke slightly eased the tense atmosphere of the conversation and continued, "I roughly understand what you mean. But if you are interested in these things, you must have the basic knowledge and theories to explore them. Which aspect do you plan to start with?"
Joseph: "Science, at least it has a mature system, so I don't have to guess."
"That's no problem." Luke breathed a sigh of relief.
