Chapter 3 Freedom, Beauty and Strength

"Peter, it's such a pity that you didn't come to my dad's group for internship during the holidays! You can't imagine how many weird gadgets there are in the laboratory?!"

"If you go, you will definitely be very excited!"

Peter's deskmate was a young nobleman. Yes, that's right! It was Harry Osborn, the son of Norman Osborn, the founder of the Osborn Group!
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence of fate or if the Peter Parker in every universe has the same trajectory, but Peter and Harry were in the same class from elementary school, junior high school to high school, and they even sat at the same table!

Sometimes Peter even suspected that Harry was gay, otherwise why would he always run into him wherever he showed up! This didn't make sense at all!

But it seems that in the world of Marvel, common sense is the most unreasonable...

"I heard that the mentor for this internship is Kurt Connors. It's a pity that I didn't go for the internship. But Harry, if I remember correctly, you didn't even pass the science exam?! Are you interested in science?!"

Glancing at Harry who was talking nonstop at the side, Peter gave an expression that said, "You'd be damned if you can learn."

"After all, my family is also engaged in scientific research, so why can't I be interested in science?! Great! We have been brothers for so many years, and you actually look at me like this! Peter, all these years of love have been wasted after all..."

"Don't give me that! From what I know about you, you are purely interested in new technologies! And could you please not say such weird things?! I'm afraid Gwen will misunderstand!"

Seeing Gwen at the table in front of him turn around and look at the two of them with a frown, Peter knew that Harry said this purely to disgust him...

"By the way, how is your relationship with MJ going?! You haven't gotten her yet, have you?! You're such a noble young man, but you're still a virgin. You're so sweet on the lips, but you become so cold when it comes to the real thing. You're really…"

MJ, that is Mary Jane! She is Peter's neighbor next door. He has known her since he was six years old, even one or two years earlier than Gwen and Harry. However, Peter has no interest in her at all!

There is nothing else to say. It is hard to describe the appearance of this girl when she was a child. She had freckles all over her face, uneven teeth, and a neat short hair. She looked like a tomboy.

Who would have thought that Mary Jane, who grew her hair long and had her teeth straightened, would become so beautiful that she and Gwen were even considered the two most beautiful girls at Midtown High School!

However, this chick is not my type. I can have her as a friend, but forget about having her as a girlfriend...

I don't know if Harry is crazy enough to like such a guy who hits people so hard...

"Still...still working hard, almost there..."

Seeing this guy's guilty look, Peter realized that Harry had not made any substantial progress and was still trying to show off.

"Ha, I'm going to take a nap, Peter. Remember to call me when the teacher comes." Harry yawned deeply.

"You stayed up late playing games again? You've become a total otaku..."

"That's a PS5, the feel is really amazing, and the game quality and smoothness..."

When the game was mentioned, Harry seemed to be less sleepy, but Peter still held his head down.

"Go to sleep quickly. I'm afraid you'll die suddenly at school..."

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I'm so sleepy. I'll take a nap first and continue talking to you later!" Harry then lay down on the table and began to sleep soundly.

Peter shook his head helplessly, then looked out the window and admired the scenery outside.

[Ding, how can you be so bad with the power of a hero? ! 1-star mission: Fight 10 crimes within a week! ]

[Task completion reward, 20 skin points, level treasure chest! ]

Just as Peter was in a daze, a mechanical sound reached Peter's ears.

After hearing the voice, Peter's sleepy head instantly became clear.

I thought the system would stop after giving me two gift packs, but I didn't expect it to issue tasks! This is similar to some online games I played in my previous life...

Peter has figured out skin points, and if you save enough skin points you can buy hero skins and gain other abilities.

As for what this treasure chest is, I don’t know either. I guess it should be something like a blind box. Whether it is good or not depends purely on luck!

[Ding, the treasure chests are divided into ten levels from low to high. The higher the level of the treasure chest, the richer the rewards. The treasure chests can open hero equipment, daily necessities, special skills, etc.] Well, isn't this still a blind box? ! Peter sometimes doubts whether this system is an upgrade from the game system? ! Why do all the things feel the same as playing a game? !
Also, the introduction of this mission is too sloppy, it has a style straight out of a low-quality online game...

Looking at the introduction that appeared on the system panel, Peter couldn't help but sigh.

It's not easy to solve ten cases in a week. Although this is free America, it's impossible for shootings to happen every day, right? !
After all, I haven't encountered many criminal incidents since I was a child...

……

As the school bell rang, students walked out of the classroom one after another.

"Ha..." Peter stretched his back. He had been sitting in the chair for a whole day and his back and waist were indeed sore. But he also gained a lot.

I have to say, the system is pretty awesome! Peter, who has 1/5 of the abilities of the first generation Spider-Man, not only has his abilities in all aspects enhanced, but even his memory has been greatly enhanced.

The knowledge that originally took Peter half a month to learn was completely mastered and understood by Peter after just one day of study and understanding!

Although I used to think that this knowledge was too simple and I had no intention of learning it, it is just right for killing time now. I can listen to lectures and read books at the same time, doing two things at once without affecting my efficiency.

"The dark suit must not be used now. Good things must be used when they are needed! With my current abilities, I should be able to easily deal with criminals. I should go back and put on the suit I made..."

"Although I can generate spider silk myself now, I'd better tie up the static silk just in case..."

"Damn it, there aren't that many criminals for me to find!!!"

"What are you mumbling about? Peter, do you want to come to my house to play games tonight? My dad said it was a pity that he didn't meet you. He really can't figure out who is his real son between us..." Harry looked at Peter, who was talking to himself with his head down, and made an invitation.

"No, I've been working on some little inventions lately, and they're almost finished. I'll send Gwen home and then I'll continue working on the inventions. When I finish them, we'll have some fun!"

"Is it some new and weird little gadget?! You must let me play with it when the time comes!"

Harry became interested when he heard this, and put his arm around Peter's shoulders, saying excitedly.

"I'm planning on making a miniature electronic pulse cannon that can blow you away in one go!"

"Get lost! Well, you go ahead and do your work, I'm going home to play games~"

Looking at Harry walking towards the car in two or three steps, Peter tilted his head and couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile.

"It's understandable that this guy couldn't catch up with Mary Jane! He only thinks about games, there's really nothing else in his mind..."

"Come on, Peter, do you want to come to my house for dinner today? My mother has been talking about you all the time~"

Carrying her schoolbag on one shoulder, Gwen bumped into the dazed Peter and showed a girl's unique smile with a hint of shyness on her face.

Although it's not the first time I've invited Peter to dinner at home, I always feel awkward every time I invite him. Why?!
"Okay, I'm tired of Aunt Mei's cooking, and I haven't eaten Aunt Helen's apple pie for a long time, so I won't be polite today~"

"Who asked you to be polite! Idiot~"

Gwen jumped up playfully, tapped Peter on the head, and then ran forward with laughter.

"Hiss~ That kind of strength almost gave me a concussion. You don't understand your own strength at all!"

Peter covered his forehead in pain, then ran after her with a ferocious look on his face, shouting, "Gwen, stop right there! I'm going to hit you on the head, too!"

"Catch up with me first~"

A man and a woman chased each other into the distance, and neither of them noticed that there was a muscular young man with a crew cut standing behind them.

This young man was none other than Lightning. He looked like he had eaten too much dog food, and with resentment and jealousy towards Peter, he slowly raised his middle finger towards the two of them...
