"Congratulations to the Company for signing the S-Rank Awakened: Bruce Wayne."
"Congratulations to the Company for signing the C+ Rank Awakened: Thomas Wayne."
"Boom!"
Fang Yuan's eyes snapped open, his heart pounding from the unexpected surprise.
"S-Rank?"
He quickly used Mystique's ability to prevent his expression from losing control.
Fang Yuan hastily checked the rewards unlocked by the two.
"Name: Bruce Wayne"
"Level: S"
"Fame: 34 (Somewhat Famous)"
"Unlocked Rewards: Initial Reward (Claimable), First Tier Reward (Claimable)"
"Initial Reward: Mental Attribute increased to D."
"First Tier Reward: Obtained Superpower - Dark Affinity (B-Rank)"
Although Bruce had not yet become Batman, he was a super-rich magnate, consistently ranking among the top three wealthiest individuals, so his recognition was not low.
However, Fang Yuan had long known that public recognition was not the same as the 'Fame' determined by the personal panel, which also considered people's approval, influence, and other dimensions.
Just like in his previous life, Fang Yuan paid close attention to who the World's richest person was, but to say he approved of them would be too disingenuous.
After all, compared to super-rich individuals, he was consistently poor, while the richest person changed frequently; since the money wasn't given to him, he didn't care who held the title.
But the rewards Bruce Wayne unlocked for Fang Yuan were better and better!
The Initial Reward alone boosted his Mental Attribute to D-Rank, making it even stronger than Professor X's!
Of course, Batman's willpower was inherently high, and now Bruce possessed the memories of many Universe's Batmen. In terms of mental strength, even a fully developed Professor X would likely be unable to see through him.
Moreover, the First Tier Reward was a B-Rank Superpower. Fang Yuan remembered that Professor X and Magneto, both A+ Rank individuals, only unlocked B-Rank abilities at the Second Tier.
Truly worthy of an S-Rank employee!
Fang Yuan was very satisfied, feeling his efforts to help the DC World restart were not in vain. It seemed Batman was quite sincere.
As for the Superpower [Dark Affinity (B-Rank): Can slightly enhance all dark-related abilities.]
Hmm, indeed worthy of the Dark Knight, truly dark.
He directly chose to claim the reward, but at this moment, the Company panel suddenly displayed a notification.
"Dark Affinity has extremely high compatibility with the host. Superpower Dark Affinity (B-Rank) has been transformed into Dark Affinity Aura (B-Rank)."
"Dark Affinity Aura (B-Rank): Can slightly enhance all dark-related abilities."
"Well, I'll be!"
If Fang Yuan wasn't currently in a time-stop state, he might have started dancing with joy.
Although the descriptions were identical, there was a World of difference between a Superpower and an Aura.
A Superpower could only be used individually, but an Aura had no such restriction, directly allowing Fang Yuan to receive a boost when using all his abilities.
"That's great—no, wait!"
Just as Fang Yuan was about to give the All Heavens Vought Company a thumbs-up, he suddenly noticed something amiss.
"What do you mean my compatibility with Dark Affinity is too high?"
"Does that mean I'm very dark?"
"Just kidding, who doesn't know me?" Fang Yuan internally defended himself, "I'm the Awakened's savior, the great hero who restarted the DC World! How am I dark?"
"You can't say I'm a dark person just because Sebastian Shaw personally acknowledged me as the Black King, can you?"
Fang Yuan convinced himself in just three seconds.
"It must be a bug in the panel!"
Since it was a beneficial bug, Fang Yuan decided not to appeal to the Company panel.
"Sigh, I'm just so kind-hearted." He silently gave himself a thumbs-up.
Then, Fang Yuan looked at Thomas Wayne's character card.
"Name: Thomas Wayne"
"Level: C+"
"Fame: 103 (Renowned)"
"Unlocked Rewards: Initial Reward (Claimable), First Tier Reward (Claimable), Second Tier Reward (Claimable), Third Tier Reward (Claimable)."
"Initial Reward: Skill Combat Lv.6 upgraded to Lv.7."
"First Tier Reward: Obtained Skill - Medical Mastery Lv.5."
"Second Tier Reward: Obtained Item - Batcave Technology."
"Third Tier Reward: Obtained Character Template - Thomas Wayne (C+ Rank, 88% Development)"
"Oh?"
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up. He hadn't actually held much expectation for Thomas's rewards, as his character level was only C+.
Although he was Batman, he wasn't Bruce Wayne.
Unexpectedly, every reward Thomas unlocked was useful to him. Combat skill goes without saying, and medical skills would never become outdated anywhere.
Even though Thomas's Batcave technology might seem old, it could still hack into secret databases of various countries. The Batsuit, Batmobile, and batplane could also be given to the X-Men, primarily for their cool factor!
Only Thomas's Character Template was slightly inferior, being completely overshadowed by the Steve Template in all aspects. While their combat skills might be comparable, if the Steve Template was equipped with a shield, it would be a completely different story.
Although both were C+ templates, Captain America had the backing of nine movies and could even arm-wrestle Thanos,
while Thomas only had one, struggling to fight even a Kryptonian soldier.
However, even so, Thomas Wayne could be called the king of practicality, because he had already unlocked three tiers of rewards without Fang Yuan even needing to promote him.
If Thomas had been active more recently, he might have even unlocked the Fourth Tier rewards.
Fang Yuan happily accepted these rewards, then returned to reality.
"What's wrong?" Thomas asked.
They had all noticed Fang Yuan's unusual behavior just now.
"Nothing." Fang Yuan waved his hand, casually making up an excuse, "Look, your son's handwriting is better than yours!"
"Of course!" Thomas didn't refute, a proud look on his face, "That's my son!"
They tacitly changed the subject. Both Batmen actually knew Fang Yuan's abnormal actions were related to the invitation, but since Fang Yuan didn't say, they didn't ask.
Thomas asked his son, "Bruce, since you haven't become Batman yet, what are you doing now?"
He didn't even ask if Bruce would still become Batman; his conversation with Clark proved that even if Bruce restarted and knew the path ahead was difficult, he wouldn't give up on becoming the Dark Knight.
Unexpectedly, Bruce glanced at Fang Yuan, paused for a second, and then replied, "I'm traveling and studying around the World."
"League of Assassins?" Fang Yuan immediately asked.
"...Yes." Bruce nodded, seemingly normally.
Thomas didn't think anything was wrong, but Fang Yuan suddenly looked at Bruce suspiciously.
"No, with your current strength and experience, what could the League of Assassins possibly teach you, their living daddy?"
"You've been back for a month now. By rights, you should have left the League of Assassins by now, but you've stayed there."
Fang Yuan, with a knowing expression, suddenly asked, "Is it Talia, the one you like?"
Bruce didn't respond, but Thomas's spirits immediately lifted.
He seemed to smell the scent of a grandchild.
