Chapter 2593 Xiao Xiao Down (Seventy-seven)
Schiller put down his phone and said to Victor and Anna who were having a great time fishing, "Waylon and the others are here. I'm going to pick them up. If you really catch any fish, I'm not saying I really believe you can catch any fish, but in case someone pulls out a freezing gun or something to cheat, just put the fish in the freezer next to you."
"I seem to hear someone say something like 'freeze'!" Victor shouted at the top of his voice. "Then I have to remind him not to give advice to the experts!"
Schiller shook his head helplessly. After walking across the grass slope, he saw the small truck with a load of breadmen getting off it.
The Robins rushed out of the carriage shouting and yelling, each holding a large or small package in their hands. Raven came out last.
She dressed up carefully today, wearing a lavender chiffon dress. She let her red hair down, only gathering a few strands around her temples and ears behind her head and tied them with a white hairband.
After the mysterious light in her eyes disappeared, she had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, but unlike Bruce's azure eyes, her eyes were deep blue, like the finest sapphires, and also like the mysterious deep sea.
Jason and Tim rushed over the moment they saw Schiller, while Raven and Dick walked side by side behind.
"Professor! We have brought you a big gift!!" said Tim. He was wearing a sports shirt and a gray sun-protective jacket today, while Jason was wearing the usual three: sportswear, jeans, and a jacket.
The difference is that Dick was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and brown wide-leg pants today, and even a pair of expensive-looking cowhide Martin boots. He looked neat and energetic, and had a bit of the style of a literary boy.
"Look at him." Tim nudged Schiller's arm with his elbow and said in a low voice, "Like a peacock with its tail spread out."
"Don't talk nonsense. Peacock is not as troublesome as him." Jason yawned and said, "We picked this dress together. We tried on clothes until midnight yesterday. Rachel must like it because she said she likes quiet and gentle people. What do you think?"
Schiller looked Dick up and down and felt that he was indeed different. As expected, true love is the catalyst for progress.
Maybe because of Bruce's influence, Robin in Schiller's universe dresses in a comfortable way. He wears school uniforms when he is at school, sportswear for clubs after class, and tailor-made suits for important occasions.
Many people have this worry, that is, it is not difficult for them to choose what clothes to wear for different occasions, but the problem is that once they are in private occasions, they don’t know what to wear.
Especially when you want to show yourself to a specific person in a private occasion, you don’t know what style is best for yourself, nor do you know what style the other person will like. You pick and choose and don’t know what to do, and finally choose to give up on yourself.
Style is a very metaphysical thing, sometimes when someone tries a style that is opposite to what he usually wears, he will surprise everyone, but sometimes it will be so shocking that you will want to roar in anger, so it is better to stay in your comfort zone.
Fortunately, the children of Wayne Manor all have their own unique aesthetics. Tim likes to wear college style in private occasions, usually a shirt, sweater jacket and casual tie. Thanks to the good genes of the Drake family, Tim is tall and thin. This style always reminds people of the most handsome and best-performing senior in the school.
Jason has always liked the cool guy style, and his favorite is the symbols of Gotham street culture. He can be regarded as an excellent successor to the blues rap career. Wherever he goes, he wears a black short-sleeved shirt with sleeves, ripped trousers and sneakers, a baseball cap and a gold chain. Even Tupac would call him "bro".
In comparison, Dick's personal style has never been strong enough. He always wears sportswear no matter what, and he is the least keen on shopping among the three. Of course, it may also be that he has to learn ballet and does not have so much time to wander the streets.
So Schiller didn't have a very deep impression of Dick's previous dressing style, but today's outfit was really suitable, as could be seen from the flashing eyes of Raven.
Maybe it’s because the Dick in this universe has never been Nightwing, never been Batman’s assistant, and never broke up with Batman to become an independent hero. Instead, he has been studying and learning dance. He has a gentle temperament that the Dicks in other universes do not have.
In Schiller's opinion, with Raven's personality, it would be difficult for her to accept a man with obvious aggressiveness, because she had been asked not to have drastic emotional fluctuations in the past decade or so. Naturally, she did not expect any passionate feelings, or she did not dare to have any passionate feelings.
In love, it is often necessary to respond to aggression with aggression, and only when the two sides are evenly matched can the relationship last. A person who is ashamed of expressing his emotions for years can neither release his nature naturally nor be afraid of releasing the nature of others. He will be full of delusions of being persecuted that may get out of control.
Therefore, Raven’s ideal opposite sex must be gentle, tolerant, and most importantly, restrained.
"Restraint" is the most important personality advantage that Schiller sees in Dick, not only Dick in this universe, but also Nightwing in all universes. This is an extremely rare personality trait that even Batman does not possess.
Especially in moments of extreme love and hate, one can still remain calm and restrained, but not completely heartless. One follows one's feelings while also having reason, and makes the most balanced decision between the two. This is the most enviable talent in the world.
This means that after he makes any decision, he has room to turn back. Only after a person has experienced a lot will he understand that the youthful vigor of refusing to bow down is just a passing cloud, and being able to take the medicine of regret at any time is the precious wealth of life.
Dick and Raven were obviously a little shy because of Schiller's gaze. Raven used telekinesis to bring a large number of boxes, but Schiller looked at Tim and said, "What is the gift you mentioned? Just these ingredients?"
"Of course not." Tim pointed at the truck.
A figure gradually walked out from the slope of the lawn. Schiller's eyes widened slightly. He took the initiative to step forward to greet him and said, "Alfred? How come you have time to come here?"
Of course Schiller sent an invitation to Alfred, but usually the old butler would not leave Wayne Manor, especially when Bruce was not around. He had the responsibility to guard the manor and would not go out easily, so Schiller did not hold out much hope.
Alfred sighed helplessly and said, "If I hadn't come, the manor might not exist."
Aisha came up and jumped into Schiller's arms again and said, "If Grandpa Alfu doesn't come, I will chew off the roof of the manor. They want to build a new house anyway!"
Schiller touched Elsa's head and said, "You just want to chew the roof, right?"
Killer Croc came over last, and with him was Jack.
I haven't seen Jack for a long time, and he has changed a lot. He is no longer wearing the dirty work clothes, and he is even wearing a clean sportswear. Although his green hair is still messy, the black hair at the roots has grown a lot longer, almost half and half with the green hair.
His hair seemed to have not been cut for a long time. It was scattered on the sides of his face, softening the outline of his bony face. His eyes were still deeply sunken in his eye sockets, with heavy dark circles, but the clown makeup on his face was not applied very carefully. It seemed that he had applied a bloody mouth before going to bed last night, but it was rubbed off when he washed his face in the morning.
Overall, he looks more like a member of a hippie band than a terrorist, and even according to the current popular trends in Gotham music, he is not very unconventional.
Schiller looked him over and said, "You look like you haven't slept in half a month. What's wrong with you?"
Jack waved his hand and said, "Blame it on the moving company."
Killer Croc next to him grinned and said, "Thank you, little guys. We have started cooperation with the truck drivers in advance. Jack is one of the few among them who can read and do statistics, so he has been a bit busy recently."
"A bit busy?!" Jack said in a raised voice, "You guys piled all that damn paperwork on me!! I only slept for five hours this week!!"
"Think positively." Schiller obviously knew how to comfort the clown. He said, "Bruce may not have slept five hours a week. You have to solve the problems of truck drivers and moving companies, while he has to solve the problems of the entire United States and even the world."
Jack laughed immediately, and it was hard to tell whether he was genuinely happy or gloating.
He put his hands in his pockets and followed the crowd. Schiller looked back at him and said, "Did you know there's another clown coming?"
"What? Who? The talk show guy?" Jack curled his lips and said, "His jokes are really boring. I don't know how Bruce likes him. He's so boring!"
"No he's the other one, he's been harassing me lately."
"Don't tell me you're going to be Batman."
"Not even close. He just looks like he has nothing to do."
Jack took two quick steps to Schiller's side, twisted his neck and deliberately looked up at Schiller from a low position, and asked, "It sounds like you have an idea."
"He'll be here later, you'd better walk around him."
"I don't think there is a clown funnier than me in this world. You can barely be considered second. The rest of those masters of bad jokes should just go back to their beds and sleep."
Schiller smiled and said, "I have a big funny joke for him, and you will find out soon."
Then Clark and Diana came. Clark flew over with Lois. Schiller was a little surprised that Clark revealed his identity to Louise so early.
Although it is a bit unscientific, Superman is indeed an anonymous hero. In some comics, he and Lois even had misunderstandings because of their identities.
Schiller gave Clark a probing look, and Clark gave him a puzzled look in return.
So Schiller looked at Louise, who was also a little confused, then suddenly realized and turned to look at Diana.
Is this related to Diana? Schiller was even more confused.
As a result, Diana took out a large pile of ingredients from her storage space. Various vegetables and meats were sorted and cut, wrapped in plastic wrap and waiting to be selected.
Clark showed a standard eight-tooth smile, looked at Schiller and said, “I’m not sure if you have prepared the ingredients, but I brought the best, thank you for your invitation.”
