The partial upgrades and renovations to the hillside manor were completed in just over a month.
Regarding this small request from their major shareholder, the efficiency of the Jonathan Group was shockingly fast; they even took the opportunity to build a laboratory of several hundred square meters next to the manor, following Mira's requirements.
The laboratory had two floors above ground and one below; most of the construction time was spent on the layout of the underground space, which was entirely made of special materials.
When Gecko Matthew Culbert arrived at the laboratory and saw the various brand-new instruments on display, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
His dream when he was very young was to become a brilliant scientist, and these instruments had once filled him with longing.
Matthew sprawled out, lifted his head, and asked: "Can you promise to let me touch these instruments, Mrs. Kent?"
Looking at the boy who was tied to the bed, unable to move his limbs, yet still full of excitement, Shawn and Mira couldn't help but laugh.
This kid was carefree, likely because of trust; even though his current state looked exactly like some disposable material about to undergo a horrific human experiment, he didn't feel afraid at all.
"Of course, no problem."
Mira put on her lab coat and white sterilized gloves, then said with a smile: "If you're interested, you can come to the lab every day; it's open to you 24/7. If you want to learn, I can also have someone teach you. But before that, let's begin today's research experiment."
Matthew nodded happily: "Let's start. I will cooperate fully."
'Zzzzzz—!!'
Bring out the knife.
Bring out the shovel.
Bring out the electric drill.
Bring out the chainsaw.
...
Matthew was terrified. He wasn't the Gecko who had suffered endless setbacks in adulthood, but just a boy who had recently left the orphanage and was still a bit naive.
He realized the experiment was even bloodier and more terrifying than he had imagined. Seeing his own severed limbs flying about and the scene of mangled flesh, it looked R-rated no matter how you looked at it.
But he soon got used to this kind of treatment.
He had defeated Black Noir of 'The Seven'; he felt no pain, and his body parts could regenerate.
Mrs. Kent's movements were very gentle and professional. From her hands trembling at the beginning, she had become proficient by the end, and Matthew felt happy for his contribution.
"Alright, that's it for today."
Mira carefully placed Matthew's arm and two legs into a large culture dish. Noticing that the boy on the test bench looked a bit pale, she announced the end of today's experiment.
Matthew raised an arm, the flesh and bone on it growing rapidly. He smacked his lips: "Is it over already? I can still go on."
To be dismembered and still be so happy.
Could this kid have some weird fetish?
"Matthew, don't push yourself."
Shawn said with a wry smile: "Your abilities can't be used without limits. Otherwise, if you just lay down in any hospital, all the doctors and patients in the world would recognize you as God."
"Alright."
Matthew got off the test bench and walked over to observe his severed limbs up close. He asked curiously: "What are you planning to do? Are you going to use my cells to test compound v?"
"No."
Mira shook her head: "I need to observe where your regenerative ability comes from and what limitations and burdens it places on your body. Only then can I tailor an upgrade plan for your body. As for the compound v fusion experiment, that's just incidental. This serum doesn't need to be so troublesome; we have better and more direct channels to obtain it."
Matthew didn't quite understand what Mrs. Kent meant, but he knew his abilities could be enhanced, and this goal might be realized soon.
Matthew was ecstatic: "Just call me if you need anything; I can't wait!"
"Hehe, no problem."
...
After seeing Matthew off, Shawn and Mira didn't stay in the lab for too long. The three children were already crying for food, and if they didn't appear soon, they would tear the house down.
[Please note, family member Alexander has awakened the ability: Super Healing (Bronze) · LV0.]
[Please note, family member Benjamin has awakened the ability: Super Physique (Bronze) · LV0.]
[Please note, family member Christopher has awakened the ability: Super Physique (Bronze) · LV0.]
A week ago, Shawn received a prompt from the depths of his consciousness, indicating that his three children were growing up healthily.
Now, their abilities were becoming hard to hide, even in their infancy.
Among them:
Alexander's abilities are: [Super Strength (Bronze) · LV0, Super Physique (Bronze) · LV0, Super Healing (Bronze) · LV0]
Benjamin's abilities are: [Super Agility (Bronze) · LV0, Super Healing (Bronze) · LV0, Super Physique (Bronze) · LV0]
Christopher's abilities are: [Super Brain (Bronze) · LV0, Super Senses (Bronze) · LV0, Super Physique (Bronze) · LV0]
If their home were still the same as before, it wouldn't be enough to contain their antics.
Now it was much better.
The bedroom walls, floors, and even the cribs had been upgraded to special materials, one of the characteristics of which was their astonishing weight and hardness.
When Shawn and Mira returned, that little brat Alexander was using the handrail to keep his balance, leaning forward, trying hard to push the crib. Unfortunately, what he could easily handle before was now particularly strenuous.
Like an ordinary baby, he tasted what it was like to lack strength.
Benjamin and Christopher had also escaped their cribs, but neither of them managed to get out of the bedroom.
After Mira fed them, to prevent them from opening the door and running around blindly, she blocked it with a heavy object from behind, and the door itself had, of course, also been upgraded.
At this moment, Benjamin was like a naughty monkey, hanging from the wall decorations and swinging back and forth. These decorations were originally intended to attract and exercise the children's attention, but this kid had clearly developed a different use for them.
Benjamin's physical coordination had been high since birth, thanks to'Super Speed' LV0. Based on his usual performance, Shawn estimated it would soon upgrade.
He was the first to learn how to sit up and crawl. Although he couldn't walk yet, he could reach even the ceiling by using his four limbs to hop around. His mischief experience was much more adept compared to the eldest and the third brother.
"Alright kid, you really should learn from little Chris how to quiet down."
Shawn reached out and took the kid who was swinging in the air, then looked at his youngest son.
Christopher didn't seem to have participated in his two brothers' mischief; he had found a corner for himself to quietly read children's books.
Since he first started speaking, little Chris's progress had been rapid. Now, at over five months old, he could already intermittently speak some short sentences.
Seeing his parents return, he gently put down the book in his hands, glared at his two brothers with his round blue eyes, his little face showing some helplessness.
He crawled over to ask for a hug. After being held in Mira's arms, he complained in a milky voice: "Dummy Alec, dummy Aben... too noisy!"
"Yi, hum hum~"
Seeming to realize that his younger brother was badmouthing him, Alexander, who was also being held by Mira, hummed twice, then nonchalantly kissed Mira on the face.
He giggled, bobbing his head, indicating that he was hungry.
As they grew, the three little guys' milk intake became larger and larger, with appetites much better than the average child. Even with Mira's large cafeteria, she couldn't quite keep up.
Shawn and Mira decided to gradually feed them extra formula and start trying to add complementary foods in the near future.
Ordinary children can already be fed complementary foods at six months old.
And there was even less need to worry about their super babies; even without teeth, they could swallow meat whole, and their digestive ability was incredibly strong.
After feeding the children, the couple took them out to play.
They flew with them at low altitudes, weaving through the fences and obstacles in the yard, or circling around the distant slopes, making the three little guys squeal with joy.
This kind of activity could only be experienced by the Superman family.
Mira took this opportunity to practice her Flight skills, and incidentally, let the children adapt in advance; perhaps they could awaken the ability of Flight faster.
Today might be Mira's lucky day.
When the Flight playtime ended, a prompt came from the depths of Shawn's consciousness: Mira's final ability had also awakened.
A special ability, different from what Shawn had previously.
