Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 128 Awkward Swing

Du Mu looked at the two people who climbed over the wall and left, and shook his head.

Do you know where to go? You still need the county magistrate to lead the way. Otherwise, there was no GPS in ancient times, and you would have to wait forever to find your way there.

Du Mu was just about to call them back when a blonde girl suddenly appeared at the door of the martial arts hall.

The girl was pretty, but her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with suppressed irritation.

But when she appeared in the martial arts gym, she was stunned and looked at the surrounding environment with some disbelief.

Du Mu raised his eyebrows. He knew this person.

It was the girl sitting in the front row in the photo posted on Peter's bedroom when I first went to Peter's house.

It seems this is Gwen Stacy. I didn't expect to find this place.

Gwen looked at the surrounding scene in surprise, as well as Du Mu walking out of the Military Academy.

She said in broken Chinese: "Nihao, may I ask..."

Du Mu said directly in English: "Hello, Miss Gwen, are you here to look for Peter? He just went out and I was just about to call him back."

Gwen felt relieved when she heard the name Peter.

The other party knew Peter, so he was obviously not a bad person, and this was not some strange world where one could not return.

However, she still couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried, why did she run into Peter's bedroom and come to this strange place?

At this moment, Connors also walked in from the martial arts hall and said helplessly: "Ms. Stacy, I hope you don't misunderstand Peter. He didn't deliberately hide the secrets here. He just didn't know how to tell you."

"You knew that too?" Gwen felt more at ease seeing Connors' calmness, knowing that this was not a dangerous place.

But when he heard Connors' words, the anger that had originally disappeared suddenly rose back again.

"How much have you hidden from me? Since you don't tell me anything and don't trust me, why do you want me to be the CEO of Peter Pharmaceuticals? I don't know anything, how can I conduct business negotiations and operations? How can I know what is best for Peter?"

Gwen felt aggrieved and angry. She had been busy inside and outside during this period. Seeing that Peter looked confused, she let him go back and rest, but she continued to work around the clock. It took her twelve hours to finally finish the work at hand.

What was the result? The phone call was unreachable, and the person could not be found. Is there anyone who would just leave his job like that?

At this moment, a figure suddenly fell from the sky. Gwen looked closely and found that it was Peter.

Peter was also stunned when he saw Gwen, then he smiled and said, "Gwen, you're here too. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about the situation here because you were busy recently. It's a good thing that you came here by yourself."

Gwen frowned and looked suspicious: "Are you really going to tell me? Instead of telling me after I found out that your bedroom is connected to another world and I realized that I couldn't hide it anymore?"

Peter was surprised and said, "Why should I hide it from you? I just..."

He touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "I just don't know... what excuse can I use to make the matter of inviting you to my bedroom not so suggestive..."

Gwen was slightly stunned, then her face turned red.

In an instant, all the resentment and grievances disappeared.

Indeed, this portal happened to be in Peter's bedroom...

If a boy said to a girl, "My bedroom is connected to another place. Do you want to come to my bedroom as a guest?" then Gwen would definitely think that the boy was too shameless to say such greasy words.

And since Peter hadn't told her for this very reason, Gwen could understand him.

Du Mu shook his head and said to Peter, "I just sent you a message, you should have heard it, take the county magistrate with you."

As he said this, he looked at Su Jinzhong and asked, "What does the county magistrate think?"

Su Jinzhong didn't understand the conversation between Du Mu and the blonde Western Yi woman, but Du Mu said the last two sentences in Chinese. He immediately nodded and said, "That's natural... but I don't really know the way."

Peter exclaimed, "Ah!" and said blankly, "What should I do then?"

Su Jinzhong quickly explained, "It's okay, it's okay! This time, my brother sent a family expert to tell you about this. Just let him lead the way for you. I'll go to the government office and call him over."

Su Jinzhong got up from the ground, and Peter said, "How about I carry you? You're too slow."

At this time, Gwen asked in confusion: "Peter, I don't understand what you are talking about, but are you going out? What are you going to do? There are still a lot of things to do in the company."

Peter looked at Gwen and his face became serious: "Gwen, I'm sorry, there are many ordinary people here who are facing the threat of the butcher's knife. I have to go save them, and I may not return to New York in the short term."

Gwen was stunned: "What? But... I know you have good intentions, but you are just an ordinary person. At most, you have become an ordinary person with money. What can you do?"

Peter touched his nose and took a deep breath, "I'm sorry Gwen, I'm telling you this at this time."

He did a backflip and landed directly on the wall, while pulling down the zipper of his jacket to reveal a spider pattern inside.

"I'm Spider-Man."

Gwen looked as if she had been struck by lightning.

I just heard a secret, how come a second one pops up?
Peter simply stretched out his hand, shot out spider silk that stuck to Su Jinzhong's body, and pulled him up.

Su Jinzhong was so scared that he screamed, and was then carried on Peter's back.

Peter turned to face the outside of the martial arts hall and said to Gwen, "Gwen, my current actions are also to save many innocent ordinary people, and the company's products can also save countless ordinary people. They are equally important, but I am only good at the former..."

"I can only ask you, Gwen."

As he said this, he jumped off the wall and went to the county government office under the command of Su Jinzhong.

Gwen was stunned for a long time after hearing Peter's instructions.

But when she came to her senses, her heart was beating wildly.

It turns out... Peter is Spider-Man.

And in another world, he is also fulfilling his heroic responsibilities.

Deep down in her heart, Gwen has always dreamed of being a hero since she was a child.

If that weren't the case, she wouldn't be Spider-Gwen, Peter's replacement, in every parallel world where she gained Spider-Man's powers.

This is also why, in a certain animated movie, it is said that every Gwen will fall in love with Spider-Man.

Because a hero like Spider-Man is the image that best fits Gwen's aesthetic and aspirations.

Gwen took a deep breath to calm herself down as she felt a bit shocked by Peter's gaze.

She clenched her fists, and a sense of mission she had never felt before rose in her chest.

To be honest, when I worked for Peter before, apart from having a liking for this kind-hearted classmate, I just felt that it would be impossible for me to take up such a high position in another company. Instead of climbing up the social ladder, it would be better to get the position in one step and then make the company bigger and stronger.

But at this moment, Gwen was no longer thinking about these things.

She wants to be a helper who makes up for the part that Spider-Man is not good at, to help him and 'repair the world'.

Repairing the world is the slogan of Peter Pharmaceuticals Ltd.'s main product, and Gwen likes it very much.

Connors also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there were some issues that he couldn't always be vague about with the CEO. He really didn't know how to make up a lie.

Now, I can say anything.

"So...how should I get back?"

Gwen looked around and said a little embarrassedly.

Connors immediately said, "Just tear off the sticker I gave you before."

Gwen raised her hand in surprise, looking at the sticker with a spider on it, and only then did she realize the meaning of the icon.

But she was still a little confused and said, "But... why? You told me before that I could find Peter by putting on this sticker, and I thought you were joking."

Connors shook his head. "This sticker allows you to stay in this world for 24 to 36 hours. If you want to stay here longer, you have to change the sticker. I don't know the specific principle. I'm not an expert in time and space. My understanding of this is about the same as that of ordinary people. So I gave up on researching."

Du Mu looked at Gwen, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Miss Gwen, are you interested in learning some self-defense skills?"

Gwen looked up blankly at Du Mu: "The ability to defend yourself?" Connors also became excited: "Is it true Qi? The ones you taught Peter? My work has also come to an end recently. Can you give me some of that energy? I want to see if I can combine it with my repair potion to produce a greater effect."

Du Mu had no objection.

Seeing Gwen hesitate, Connors remembered that the other party did not know Du Mu, so he introduced him: "This is Peter's master, Mr. Du Mu. Peter learned all his combat abilities except for genetic mutation from Mr. Du Mu."

"It was Mr. Du Mu who cured Lawyer Matt's eyes and gave me a place to research repair potions. It's right next door. You can use this place as Peter's martial arts training ground and Peter's pharmaceutical research institute."

"By the way, Aunt May doesn't know that Peter is Spider-Man. He's afraid that Aunt May will worry. You must not tell her."

Since Connors' arm disability was repaired, he looks radiant, no longer gloomy, and speaks more eloquently.

Du Mu asked, "Dr. Connors, how are the genetic adaptations of those children going?"

Connor smiled immediately: "Their adaptations are being carried out at the same time. It only takes a few more days for those children to repair their stumps."

Gwen asked curiously, "What little kid?"

Du Mu shook his head without explaining, but stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, I will give you two a spiritual infusion first."

----

Gwen returns exhausted to Peter's bedroom in New York.

She instantly showed a curious and inquiring look.

Compared to the power he just gained, after knowing that Peter is Spider-Man, his bedroom seems to be a treasure hidden in secret, which makes people curious.

Connors also appeared tired, stretched, yawned and said, "I'm going home first, Gwen. I have to continue to adapt the genes of those children tomorrow."

As he spoke, Connors suddenly threw two punches with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that a scientific researcher like me would be able to fight... Although I'm not as powerful as Peter, I feel like I can beat twenty ordinary gangsters. I really look forward to someone coming to rob the institute."

Gwen rolled her eyes. "Please don't think about such dangerous things, Mr. Connors. The research institute is very expensive. If it is destroyed, the loss of money will be enough to open another production line."

Connors laughed and said, "I'm just thinking about it, just thinking about it."

Having said that, he waved his hand and left Peter's house.

Gwen knew that Aunt May was not at home. After all, Aunt May was now an employee of Peter Pharmaceuticals. Her main job was to write applications for homeless people who could not find jobs due to disability, allowing them to take out loans to buy medicine and cure their health first.

This is a job that Aunt Mei came up with herself. After all, the homeless have no money to buy repair potions, but the demand is huge. She specializes in helping those who are willing to work, have no criminal record, and are just in trouble.

This kind of thing can't be free, otherwise it is likely to attract people with bad intentions. So Aunt Mei and Gwen discussed treating these people in trouble with extremely low interest and extremely long installments in the form of a college loan.

As a result, Peter Pharmaceuticals could not earn a penny with almost no interest and the increasingly long installments due to currency depreciation. Taking into account the risk of bad debts, it would be a huge loss that could not even recover one tenth of the cost.

But Peter didn't care about the money. When those disabled homeless people recovered their health, and he saw their excitement and tears in their eyes, he felt it was all worth it.

Naturally, reporters also came to the rescue. After all, every homeless person has endless pitiful stories to tell.

In their reports, they first described the plight of homeless people who had nowhere to go, the pain of having no one to turn to, and the physical defects that were difficult to change even with the help of kind-hearted people.

Until Aunt May appeared, all difficulties were swept away. This exciting emotion and story was played out over and over again, and almost every time it became a hot topic on the Internet across the United States.

This incident greatly boosted the reputation of Peter Pharmaceuticals, and it was the first time that Peter enjoyed the public's praise, with the voices praising him even more than those praising Spider-Man as a superhero.

For example, JJ Jonathan from the Daily Bugle criticizes Spider-Man every day, but when he was reporting on Peter's pharmaceutical manufacturing, he almost cried because of Aunt May's deeds. He slammed the table and said that young people like Peter are the future and pride of America.

Therefore, Aunt Mei is now a very busy person and has no time to clean and cook at home.

Gwen boldly touched around in Peter's bedroom and accidentally opened the closet, and immediately a pile of messy clothes came out.

Gwen covered her face helplessly. Adolescent boys...

However, considering that Peter also needs to work part-time as Spider-Man, it seems understandable that he cannot clean the bedroom carefully.

At this moment, Gwen's cell phone suddenly rang. When she answered the phone, it was her assistant calling, saying that a company invited her to dinner.

Gwen said, "Please help me reject it, and cancel all your plans for tonight. I'm not free tonight."

"Yes, including the interview with that famous talk show host. Anyway, I have never watched her show."

After Gwen hung up the phone, she looked at the sky. It was no longer evening, and the sun was almost completely set.

Gwen turned on the light in Peter's bedroom, and then helped him refold his clothes one by one.

Although Peter Pharmaceuticals is not listed, there is still a valuation of Peter Pharmaceuticals in the market. The CEO of this company, whose market value has rocketed into the 10 billion club, is helping a boy tidy up his messy bedroom.

Gwen started to clean up Peter's desk and suddenly noticed the photo. Her face turned slightly red.

After seeing the photo, she wanted to rush out of the door, but the bedroom was halfway cleaned up and she couldn't pretend she had never been there.

There was nothing Gwen could do, so she just pretended to ignore the table and started tidying up the rest of the bedroom.

Gwen was slightly startled when she opened a high cabinet.

She saw... a red and blue uniform.

This appears to be Spider-Man's last uniform, now replaced with better fabric and better lenses.

Gwen slowly took out Spider-Man's uniform, and with a click, a small thing fell to the ground.

She squatted down and saw what seemed to be a bracelet.

Gwen was now curious about everything about Spider-Man...or rather, everything about Peter, and couldn't help but put the bracelet on her wrist.

Once she found a comfortable way to wear it, she discovered that the bracelet extended into a button in the center of her palm.

Gwen remembered Spider-Man's movements of shooting spider silk and subconsciously imitated them.

In an instant, a cluster of spider silk spurted out and hit the ceiling.

Gwen was startled, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster, and she became a little excited.

Peter is really Spider-Man...

The uniform Peter had discarded had obviously been washed at the last minute, and you could still smell the smell of laundry on it.

Gwen looked around, feeling the newfound strength in her body, and tightened her grip on Spider-Man's uniform.

"Hehe, what am I thinking about?"

Gwen suddenly smiled at herself and began to help Peter fold the Spider-Man uniform, thinking about how to help him hide in a more hidden place.

Just then, her cell phone rang again.

Gwen picked up the phone impatiently, only to find that it was a call from her father.

Gwen felt a little guilty thinking about how she had been busy with company matters these days and had not spent enough time with her family.

So she answered the phone, and when she was about to say hello, she heard her father's heavy breathing.

"Gwen...I'm sorry, Daddy may not be able to accompany you from now on."

"I just want you to know... Daddy is proud of you."

Gwen was stunned and asked repeatedly: "Dad, what's wrong? Where are you?"

However, just as my father was about to speak, there was an explosion on the line and the call was abruptly hung up.

Gwen froze in place, then immediately opened the web page on her phone to look for breaking news near New York.

A few minutes later, a slender figure wearing an ill-fitting oversized white hoodie nervously climbed out of Peter's window.

She stretched out her hand, and a cluster of spider silk shot out and stuck to the wall of a tall building not far away. Then she circulated her Qi in her arm, pulled it hard, and felt that she could support her weight.

Gwen then took a deep breath through the mask, jumped out of the window, and swung forward awkwardly.
