Chapter 416 Afu's Pancakes Are Terrible
As is well known, injuries involving bones require a long recovery period.
Modern medical treatment of fractures often requires first restoring the displaced fracture ends to or near their original normal position, and then creating a stable and undisturbed mechanical environment for bone healing, while waiting for it to heal naturally.
The mechanism of action of potions is more complex. In the simplest terms, potions accept the perceptions of other similar creatures in the current plane regarding their own skeletons, as well as the user's own perception of their skeletons.
It then automatically searches the drinker's body for parts that do not conform to their perception.
Ultimately, the potion will directly force the bones back to the state of the two superimposed, so Rune's bone soup can not only treat injuries of the degree of fracture, but also correct skeletal deformities.
However, reducing the time it takes for a fracture to heal—which can take months or even years—to just a few minutes comes at a cost.
Look, Bruce is already frowning.
"The master's pain tolerance is probably the strongest in the entire universe." Seeing Bruce's reaction, Rune couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of potion for treating fractures was of course within the scope of his shop's sales, and since the buyers were mostly mages who were extremely picky, they would usually choose to drink it in person and then have Rune make some minor adjustments to their bones.
Rune has only ever met one person like Bruce who can endure excruciating pain without even flinching – Bruce is the only one he has ever met.
Afu looked at the child and felt extremely sorry for him.
Although nominally Alfred and Bruce have an employer-employee relationship, Bruce has actually come to regard Alfred as his adoptive father.
If Bruce and Selena's wedding goes ahead successfully, perhaps Alfred will act as the groom's parent and personally oversee the wedding arrangements.
Unfortunately, Selena later ran away from the wedding for various reasons, and Alfred was also killed by Bane. He would never be able to see his child's wedding again.
However, Rune is here. Rune looks at Alfred. With him around, what is Bane? As long as Bruce and Alfred agree, Rune can even enhance Alfred into a peerless master capable of tearing Bane apart.
Moreover, the wedding will be held after Dr. Manhattan has achieved his goals, at which point he will no longer need to be beholden to some blue-skinned bald man.
Afro was somewhat puzzled by Rune's gaze.
"Were we...were we familiar with each other before?" Afu asked softly, feeling that he should know this handsome boy.
Rune just shrugged. "Ah Fu, your pancakes are actually super awful."
Afu's expression softened.
Although it's a derogatory remark, it contains a lot of information: Ah Fu is indeed not good at making pancakes. In fact, he was originally a British soldier.
Anyone familiar with the words "British" and "military" would know that Alfred's cooking was simply not going to be good.
In fact, he originally only wanted to work as a housekeeper temporarily before resigning to find other jobs, but then he received news of the Wayne couple's deaths.
Bruce was too young and fragile at the time, and Alfred was incredibly soft-hearted, ultimately deciding to take care of Bruce for the rest of his life. After that, Alfred went on to systematically learn how to make meals, but pancakes remained a small dessert that he could never make well.
The person who gets to taste this dessert made by Alfred must have a special relationship with Bruce and himself. After all, as a professional butler, serving unpalatable food would bring shame to his master. Bruce didn't care about that, but Alfred did.
Therefore, only those with a close relationship with him can become his "pancake tasters," which may also be why they know Bruce's identity.
But Afu had never actually met Rune, so he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is the theory of parallel worlds true?"
"Of course, Bruce has been busy with this for the past few days." Rune nodded. "That's why I'm here—"
He leaked this information in the hope that Batman would trust him more.
Bruce quickly stood up, took the handkerchief Alfred handed him, wiped the large beads of sweat from his face, and then performed various yoga poses to test the effects of the potion. Finally, he nodded.
"it works."
Then you should at least say something like, "I'm sorry I misunderstood you!"
Rune rolled his eyes, but it didn't matter; the main event was just around the corner.
"Let's go deliver the medicine to Balala together?"
He was really looking forward to the melodramatic love story between Barbara and Bruce; just thinking about it was exciting. But Bruce seemed to have a deep understanding of Rune's heart.
"You don't need to come along."
Alfred wanted to say something, but Bruce stopped him.
"Are you really sure?" Rune raised an eyebrow, stood up, and walked up to Bruce, his tone carrying a hint of threat.
Bruce's lips curled down, and if he were wearing the Batsuit, a famous painting titled "Batman Has Doubts About You" would appear at this moment.
"Does this medicine have side effects?"
Rune blinked, not directly answering Bruce's question. "I have no doubt about your understanding of your own skeleton, but could Barbara understand her skeleton as well as you do?"
Although Bruce did not receive a doctoral degree in the traditional sense, his knowledge in law, criminology, and medicine was not much different from that of an average PhD.
Moreover, he probably saw too many photos of his own fractures.
But what about Barbara? Her PhD is in information science, which has absolutely nothing to do with medical knowledge.
Bruce was silent for a moment. Rune's words made him immediately deduce the principle behind the potion, but he would rather have agreed to let Rune come along than heard these words.
This is a bit too terrifying.
He hesitated, but Rune had already begun making demands.
"How about taking the Batmobile, or the Batplane?" Rune patted Batman on the shoulder. "If all else fails, how about riding that giant dinosaur from the Batcave? What do you think?"
Bruce's lips continued to droop. "No, we'll just take a regular car."
"————" Rune rolled his eyes. How stingy.
The raindrops pattered against the windowsill in Gotham at night, making a soothing patter, but this was precisely when Gotham was awakening.
when.
Under the cover of night, gangs began to move around, seizing territory and buying and selling goods. Criminals also began to look around for victims. Some supervillains were constantly plotting famous conspiracies, while others were putting them into practice.
Therefore, nighttime is also a time of activity for Gotham's superheroes.
Barbara, known as the Oracle, is no exception. Although she no longer needs to go out and patrol with the Bat Family as a logistical support role, she sometimes envies the other night patrollers when she looks at the three glowing blue screens and the jumping code in front of her.
Occasionally, really, I just occasionally feel envious.
Barbara comforted herself with this thought, pursing her lips and forcing herself to focus on the screen.
She also needs to provide support for all the members of the Bat Family! This is no easy task.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
