Chapter 383 The most familiar strange city

   Looking at Mark Watney who suddenly appeared in front of him, David was also very happy.

   After all, he was one of the first people to come to Cold Winter City. Like Laura and Fording, he played a very important role in promoting the development of Cold Winter City.

"Welcome back."

  Get up and go around the desk, and hugged Mark Watney, David didn't look for a seat, stood here and chatted with Mark, asking about Mark's experience this year.

   "You know, it is to fly to the earth in a spaceship. In addition to exercising, every day is to check the body."

   Before boarding the returning spacecraft, Mark deliberately used drugs to make his body very thin, in order to comply with the severe malnutrition caused by eating potatoes in a quantitative manner to survive on Mars.

So after boarding the spacecraft, Mark Watney was arranged to undergo a series of inspections to ensure that there would be no hidden dangers in his body: to avoid spending a lot of effort and money, the astronaut was finally rescued home The tragic thing happened that the spacecraft died suddenly on the way.

  After undergoing an examination and confirming that there were no serious hidden dangers in his body, Mark Watney began his "hard" recovery life.

  He must supplement food and various nutritional agents in a timely and quantitative manner, and perform appropriate rehabilitation exercises under the supervision of professionals.

Don't think this is an interesting experience, because Mark Watney has to keep himself from eating for a long time, poor nutrition, severely emaciated body, and muscles have atrophied to a certain extent, etc. He can only eat a small amount of food every day. Eating and exercising should not be too much to avoid hurting the body.

   This made Mark, who was in no serious condition at all, very uncomfortable. He wished to immediately use water spells to remove all abnormal states on his body, and directly announced that he had recovered.

   "It sounds like you've had a rough year."

   “That was pretty painful!”

   After more than ten months of space flight, finally returned to the earth, followed by a series of inspections and follow-up observations.

   Make sure that Mark Watney doesn't have any sequelae.

   "Even now, I still have to go for regular comprehensive physical examinations." Now Mark-looks much thinner than when he was in Winter City.

  But at that time, Mark Watney was exercising every day, and he also got the knowledge of the shaman, and he was recognized by the spirit of the elements.

  The power of the elements has strengthened his body to a certain extent, and with the help of David's holy light to exercise to break through the limit, Mark was actually very strong at that time.

  Mark right now is almost the same as when he first came to Winter City, a little thinner, and has basically returned to his normal state.

   "However, I am finally relieved."

  According to the space agency's arrangement for him, the interval between physical examinations will be gradually extended, and he will not have to continue to be under official supervision every day, and he will gradually return to normal life.

  However, as the only astronaut and botanist who can live alone on Mars for so long and successfully grow potatoes on Mars, he will have a lot of entertainment, communication and other work in the future.

  If you are an ordinary person, you can even consider taking advantage of this opportunity to earn a lot of money. After getting all the fame and money, you can start enjoying retirement in advance.

  But Mark is not an ordinary person. He doesn't care about money and fame in his own world now. He wants to return to Winter City, learn more mysterious knowledge, and become an extraordinary existence.

"Having said so much about me, let's talk about Winter City!" After talking about his own situation, Mark curiously asked about the development and changes of Winter City in this year: "I saw the city in Winter City The number of residents has increased a lot, and houses have been built everywhere, so there should be a lot of things happening, right?"

   "There's a lot going on."

  David didn't continue to stand here and chat with Mark endlessly. He took Mark to the tea room while introducing the situation, and briefly introduced what happened in this year to Mark.

  Listening to David's introduction, Mark lamented that a lot of things really happened in the year he left.

   "Why does it feel so much more exciting than when I stayed here?"

  Mark was a little speechless. He felt that after he left, all kinds of wonderful things in Winter City continued to appear. He missed them all. It was a pity that he could not witness the moment when Winter City became the Dukedom of Winter.

   "Don't worry, the most exciting part has not been missed yet."

David himself will inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Tilan, and the matter of turning the Kingdom of Tilan into the Kingdom of Winter is also not hidden from Mark, and the succession ceremony is scheduled for next autumn, which is the most important thing for David and the entire city of Winter. the most important moment.

   "Hey, so you have not only become the Duke of Winter, but you will also become His Majesty the King of Winter Kingdom in more than half a year?"

"uh-huh!"

   Taking a sip of tea, David didn't feel that he had become superior. When he chatted with Mark, his tone and attitude were no different from before.

   This also made Mark secretly relieved. It seems that the change of status did not cause this "friend" to change his personality drastically.

   Then he asked again, who came to Cold Winter City during the time he left?

When he heard Ethan Hunt, Mark was scalded by hot tea; when he heard Sansa Stark, he was stunned for a few seconds, looking at David with a lively expression; as for Hu Miss De, he had a question mark on his face, completely unable to understand what kind of existence a humanoid battleship was - at this moment he hadn't realized that Belfast, who was pouring tea next to him, was also a battleship.

   When David mentioned Clark Kent and Clarice Ferguson, Mark's expression suddenly changed.

   "Wait, did you just say Clark Kent?"

"right."

   "The Clark Kent I know?"

   "I don't know if he is the same as Clark in your impression, but if you want to ask if he is Superman, I can definitely answer you: Yes! It is the Superman from Krypton."

   "Great gift, thank you~"

  Mark sighed loudly from the bottom of his heart with his eyes wide open while holding the cup, and realized another thing.

   "What ability did you get from Superman?"

   "Biological force field."

   "..." Mark put on a look of 'No more? ’ With a question mark face, he smiled and patted David on the shoulder when he saw David nodding: "Keep working hard!"

  David’s rewards will be upgraded, evolved, or obtained other abilities. Mark, who has been in contact with him for a long time, already knows these things.

  Although he only got the biological force field, not all the abilities of the Kryptonians, it doesn't mean that David will never get those abilities.

   What the future holds depends on David's next actions.

   After taking another sip of tea, Mark suddenly wanted to go out and have a look.

  Staying here and listening to David's story can no longer satisfy his curiosity. He not only wants to see the current situation in Winter City, but also to meet that Clark.

"I'm afraid it's hard to see Clark. Too many people have come to watch him recently. In addition, it's winter now, and he doesn't need to go to the fields often, so he will stay in his own world most of the time, just come to see him often. look."

  Although the behavior of spectating Superman has decreased, it is still maintained, and some natives of Brennia even started to go to watch: because Superman is very handsome.

  It is said...just it is said...someone started to ask if Clark is married? If not, I would be happy to help Clark introduce a good girl.

   Among them are some nobles from the royal capital of Tilan.

   "It's okay to go and see mutants."

  Superman can't see it, but mutants can see it? Wolverine, Professor X, and Magneto are also popular, so they can't go on missions together, right?

According to David's description, the world of mutants is in a doomsday state, and Clarice, whose nickname is flickering, often takes her mutant companions back and forth between the two worlds, constantly saving ordinary people in that world: People brought to Winter City.

"I am also not certain."

   Mutants have indeed settled down in Winter City, but the frequent trips between the two worlds have made David unsure which mutant is at home today and which is not?

  Speaking of which, mutants can travel back and forth between the two worlds relatively freely, thanks to the super power of flickering.

   Mutants who come to Cold Winter City do not need to 'touch' a specific object like other people, and let them take them to 'walk' to Cold Winter City.

   Instead, Blink opened a portal directly to Winter City, which made it a relatively simple task for mutants to quickly transfer a large number of ordinary people.

  Unfortunately, Blink's ability is only aimed at his own world. David doesn't know whether the teleportation ability he got from Blink will evolve into this in the future.

  In that case, it will be much more convenient to bring multiple people to and from the multiverse by yourself in the future.

  A portal opens, and an army follows him to another world. What a shocking scene it is!

  Thinking about this, David was about to take Mark to the garage and then to the neighborhood where the mutants lived, when he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and took Mark to the warehouse first.

"Almost forgot."

"What?"

   "This is for you." In the warehouse, David took a watch and handed it to Mark: "If you don't like the style of the watch, there are also rings and other shapes for you to choose from."

"What's this?"

"A new device that integrates some functions such as communication equipment, microcomputer, and storage device." After seeing Mark wearing the watch on his wrist, David began to introduce the function and use of this multifunctional tool to Mark in detail Method: "By the way, by the way, fill out this form and give it to Eva."

   "What is this?" Mark was still amazed that Winter City had created such a sci-fi product tool, when he turned his head and saw a form involving personal information: "Personal identity information registration form?"

   "I can make an ID for you. You are still a black household in Winter City."

   "..."
