Mindy snorted. "Training. I've been training since I was five. "
Joseph didn't believe her. There were a lot of people in this world who started training at a young age. Muay Thai fighters were already fighting in the ring at a young age, but none of them had such terrifying strength.
Mindy's kick just now would've killed a kid on the spot.
Looking at his incredulous expression, Mindy didn't explain. Instead, she changed the topic. "You probably won't be able to receive that kind of training, so why don't you change it to a more feasible plan?"
She didn't believe that Luke would be willing to put on a bulletproof vest and train Joseph with a gun.
Joseph was interested. "For example?"
Mindy gestured for her mask to come down. "Just like this, then … I'm an Ironman.
Got it? "
Joseph: "(̄ _ ̄") "
For the sake of the fact that he couldn't beat her, he graciously swallowed his anger.
Mindy chuckled and bumped him with her shoulder. "Don't be angry, I'm serious. Aren't you supposed to be very smart? If you work hard, you might become another Tony Stark. "
Lost for words, Joseph looked at the sky. "Do you know how old Tony Stark is now?"
Mindy was stumped for a moment and didn't remember.
She was a hardcore fan of Batman, and wanted to know how old Batman was. Unfortunately, Luke didn't give her the chance.
As for the middle-aged man who always made a fuss in the group, how old was he? She couldn't remember him at all.
She didn't even know how old he was. She clearly didn't take him seriously. Joseph sighed. "He's already thirty-six years old. Even if you count from the time he became Iron Man, he's still 34. I'm only eight this year. I'm still a kid. "
Mindy subconsciously raised her finger. What was thirty-four minus eight? Hm, 25.
It was too much to point out a path for someone 25 years from now, and they might not succeed.
She chuckled and rubbed Joseph's head again. "Because you're too young. If you work harder, you'll be able to make your own Iron Man armor at 18 and surpass him. "
Joseph said, "Hoho, thanks for your encouragement."
Did she really think he didn't read the news online? An Iron Man armor cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Why didn't she make it herself? Although he was cursing in his heart, he also had some thoughts.
Mindy didn't know that her casual joke had really made the little brother fall for her. She just pulled him up. "Let's go, let's go. I heard the car stop. It must be Nikki and Monica. Wait, it's another day of happy training. "
Joseph: Did you enjoy beating me up?
After the training, Joseph, who was picked up by Luke, picked up his tablet and quickly searched for information on Iron Man online.
After dinner, Luke and Joseph sat in the living room and watched the news as Luke casually asked about Joseph's training progress.
Suddenly, Joseph said, "Luke, I want to be Iron Man."
Luke was stunned. What? Could it be that you want me to get rid of a certain Young Master and help you ascend the throne?
He immediately tossed aside this funny thought and nodded. "Why?"
Joseph was silent, and Luke didn't rush him.
Joseph was different from Claire. He was too smart.
Of course, Claire was not stupid, but she loved sports more and rarely thought about deep problems.
Such a person actually lived a happier life.
Joseph, on the other hand, was only eight years old, but he was extraordinarily smart.
In the last three years, his family's consumption level had risen from ordinary to middle-class, and Catherine had invested a lot of resources in his education.
Catherine was an excellent middle school teacher, and a lot of children had graduated from her school into society. It was easy to see what kind of people those students would become from her alumni.
She knew very well that knowledge could change one's fate.
Joseph, who had sufficient educational resources, grew up very quickly.
If it weren't for Luke's firm objection, the little guy might have joined the Mensa Club and started his crazy journey of skipping grades.
But Luke felt that a person should have more relaxing and beautiful memories of their childhood, and not just the time when they were studying for the sake of studying.
In the end, everyone asked Joseph for his own opinion, and he chose to play for a few more years.
He liked to play games, watch cartoons, and insult little girls. He was no different from an ordinary child.
Joseph was just precocious, but not a genius.
That was what Luke was most thankful for.
Many geniuses were really born different from ordinary people.
While they had super high IQ, they lacked normal feelings.
If his parents blindly tried to help him grow, they would only completely destroy him.
Luke could only rejoice that Claire was relatively ordinary, or he would have pulled out a lot of hair from the siblings.
This wasn't how he treated bad guys or criminals, but his family. They weren't even adults.
Luke couldn't use everything on them, so he could only guide them carefully from the side.
For example, right now, his expression was very formal, and he couldn't smile like he did with Claire.
Joseph tilted his head and thought for a moment. "To … become more handsome?"
Luke's face darkened. "Don't imitate Claire. You're not interested in celebrities at all."
Joseph chuckled, but didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Well, I'm just interested in some things about Iron Man, not the scandals. You know what I mean."
Luke took a sip of tea and took the opportunity to sense his little brother's mental fluctuations. "Well, you don't want to be a playboy, so you like those steel shells? Or technology? "
Joseph frowned and thought for a moment, before he shook his head. "No, although those shells … well, armor are a little interesting. What I'm interested in are those mysterious and unknown powers."
Luke paused. "For example?"
After a brief silence, Joseph said, "The big monster in Big Creek, the Chitauris, the colorful pillar of light in New York Central Garden, and so on."
Luke cursed inwardly. He didn't expect his little brother to be interested in mysterious powers. This was even more dangerous than being obsessed with science.
He didn't say anything for a moment. After thinking quickly for a moment, he asked, "Do you want to possess that power, or are you just curious about it?"
Joseph thought for a moment before he replied, "I'm willing to become a mage. But become one of those ugly monsters? Hehe, how can I find a girlfriend then? "
Luke was surprised. "Don't you always think that those girls are stupid and annoying?"
Joseph said disdainfully, "Just because I don't like them doesn't mean I want to turn myself into an ugly monster."
Luke got it. "Being strong is only a matter of time, but being handsome is a matter of life."
Stumped for a moment, Joseph nodded decisively in agreement. "That's right."
After some small talk, Luke slightly eased the heavy atmosphere in the conversation before he continued, "I think I understand what you mean. But even if you're interested in these things, you need to have the basic knowledge and theories to explore them. What are you going to start with? "
Joseph said, "Science, at least it has a mature system. I don't have to guess blindly."
"That's not a problem." Luke was relieved.
