Kansas.
Late at night.
Peter sat in an open area on the farm and looked up at the night sky.
The lush trees next to him stood straight and strong, towering into the clouds.
In the dark night, the red fallen leaves on the trees looked like flames, burning and falling to his feet.
After a while, he lowered his head, picked up the coffee cup beside him, and took a sip of the bitter coffee.
From the radio next to him, the host's announcement came:
"Good evening, listeners in Kansas. I'm sure you all know that the Geminid meteor shower will arrive at 12 a.m."
The anchor was reporting the news that the largest meteor shower in nearly a decade was approaching Earth.
"A reminder to my friends: wear a little more than you think you need, be wary of radiation cooling, and it's best to bring a recliner, go to a dark open space without bright light sources, lie on your back, and gaze up at the stars..."
"Pah!"
Peter listened to the incessant chatter of the announcer on the radio and finally couldn't help reaching out to turn it off.
Then he looked down at his watch.
11:55, there were still five minutes until the meteor shower started at 12 o'clock.
He had no interest in things that were reserved for romantic people.
But this thing was related to his future happy life, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
As for why it was related to his happy life, it started with his identity.
Originally, Peter was a native of China.
Although the quality of life was not far ahead, it was at a medium level.
Unexpectedly, one day he was enthusiastically accompanying his girlfriend to watch a meteor shower, but a meteorite fell from the sky and killed him on the spot.
After waking up, he found that his soul had traveled to the United States and become a white youth named "Peter Padrick."
He was an American cowboy who had no house or car, and both his parents were dead.
All his deceased parents left him, besides a pile of debts, was this nearly bankrupt farm.
After hearing the news about the meteor shower tonight, he waited here in advance.
Let's see if he could try his luck and go back with the help of the meteor shower.
If you are a capitalist or movie star who has traveled through time and space, or even a rich second-generation, you still have the desire to strive for success.
But in this situation, not only was the sky collapsing at the beginning, but there was also no golden finger that is necessary for time travelers.
How to change your destiny?
Peter drank all the refreshing coffee in one gulp.
If he had this ability, why would he have been a "steel worker" for so long in his previous life?
It's better to go back and lie down than to have such a hellish start to your life.
Just as he was complaining about being a time traveler and bringing shame to his predecessors who had traveled through time, suddenly a bright light appeared in the distance.
In the dark night sky, a long earth-grazing meteor streaked across the atmosphere, leaving a long trail.
Then more and more meteors fell.
Under the curtain of dark night, a grand meteor shower quietly descended.
Countless meteors streaked across the sky, like shining arrows, piercing the night sky with brilliant tails.
Peter opened his mouth slightly and looked up at the spectacular meteor shower.
"Boom!"
A deafening noise rang out across the farm, followed by a slight ground vibration.
"Depend on!"
The meteorite really fell!
Stunned, he looked at the huge hole in the ground in front of him.
The moment the meteorite fell to the ground, countless mud splashed out.
The piles of soybeans stacked on the farm were ignited by the high-temperature friction and burned instantly.
The red flames lit up the entire night sky!
Cursing inwardly, he immediately rushed into the warehouse, took out a fire extinguisher, and sprayed foam at the burning soybeans.
Fortunately, the falling meteorite was not large, and only a few soybeans were ignited.
Peter quickly put out the fire.
Breathing slightly, he wiped the dust off his face and looked at the deep crater created by the meteorite that was emitting hot mist.
After the heat and smoke dissipated, Peter looked at the existence in the pit in shock.
This was not a meteorite but a small spaceship that was completely silver and glowed in the night!
What the hell?!
Did he see the aliens arrive with his own eyes?
After rubbing his face and making sure that he was not dreaming, Peter threw down the fire extinguisher and ran towards the warehouse again.
A moment later, he walked over to the pit, shotgun in hand.
For his own safety, in case these aliens abducted him, he thought it would be best to take protective measures.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
As he watched, the cabin of the spacecraft slowly opened.
He subconsciously raised his shotgun and aimed it at the spaceship.
As a gun enthusiast, he had been able to indulge in some real-life shooting in the few weeks since he traveled through time.
Now holding the gun, he was confident that he could shoot the other person the moment he appeared.
However, to his shock, there were no scary-looking little gray men in the spacecraft.
Instead, it was a cute baby sucking his fingers.
Baby?
Peter, who was a little confused, took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Let's take a look at the situation first.
The golden-haired baby seemed to see Peter outside. He stretched out his short legs and tried to crawl outside.
"Danger!"
Seeing that the other party was about to fall out of the spaceship, Peter didn't care about anything else and immediately slid down the slope of the deep pit.
"Bang!"
He staggered to his feet at the bottom of the pit, put down his shotgun, and caught the baby who was about to fall out.
The naked baby didn't seem to feel the coolness of the night.
Being held in Peter's arms, he started to giggle instead.
Holding the baby, Peter looked into the spaceship with a slightly frowned brow.
There was a white blanket in the spacecraft. He took the blanket and wrapped the baby.
Why does this scene seem familiar?
Holding the baby who was dozing with his eyes closed, Peter stared at the spaceship in front of him.
Kansas, farms, babies in spaceships…
Etc!
Isn't this the scene where Superman comes to Earth?
Could it be that the world he traveled to was the world of American comics?
And the baby he was holding right now was Superman?
"Hiss--"
He took a deep breath and immediately felt that the baby in his arms was even cuter.
If he were a super dad...
Well, it looks like things didn't end well for Superman's adoptive father.
But he was not the kind of noble person who would sacrifice himself to save others!
"You are my son, if you don't take care of your old father, I will sever the father-son relationship with you." This kind of shameless father is the father he wanted to be the most!
He was so ecstatic that he even thought about how to "live off his son" in the future.
His life has been flat from now on!
Besides, Superman was extremely strong when he was a child and could even lift a school bus. Couldn't he lift ten harvesters with just one finger?
He no longer had to do all the farm work by himself, and he didn't need to hire help either. This kid could do the work of ten people.
Just when Peter thought that his life was about to begin, he suddenly noticed a watch in the spaceship.
The watch was silver in color and glowed with a cold light, flashing a cold and mysterious light in the night.
Peter reached out his hand hesitantly, but the moment it touched the watch, it actually deformed!
The continuously extending mechanical watch strap wrapped around his left wrist as if it had life.
"Crack!"
With a crisp mechanical sound, the watch fit tightly on his wrist.
Peter, who was both shocked and suspicious, immediately felt dizzy.
At the same time, a huge amount of information flooded into his mind.
Two minutes later.
Finished!
After receiving the information conveyed by the watch, these three words instantly appeared in Peter's mind.
It turns out that the baby he was holding was not Superman, but Homelander!
That fellow countryman who has a crescent moon and a sky-high charge, likes to go for headshots at every turn, and likes to break defense with red temperature?
Peter looked at the baby in his arms in shock.
When this kid grows up, he won't blow his own head off in anger, right?
After all, you can never judge whether a person's evil is determined by innate genes or caused by the acquired environment.
When Peter thought about his obedient and well-behaved Superman son turning into a giant baby, he suddenly felt that the baby in his arms was not cute anymore.
But he no longer had a choice.
The information just now told him that he was already bound to this baby.
Once the other person dies or is abandoned before reaching adulthood, it is "Game Over" for you.
So wearing a watch is equivalent to signing an unfair clause?
With a thousand alpacas running through his mind, he raised his hand and stared at the watch that forcibly bound him and the baby together.
On the dial, a pointer slowly turned.
The system prompted him that once the pointer completed a circle, the next meteor shower would arrive.
Meteor showers will continue to deliver super-powered babies.
In other words, there is a high possibility that he will get Superman in the next meteor shower?
Hope is not completely lost; there will be another chance next time.
He breathed a sigh of relief, gently lowered his wrist, and looked towards the baby countryman.
"Call me daddy!"
