Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 235 Where is the tombstone you erected for me?
Peter Parker has been staring at Xu Wang ever since Jameson introduced the two to each other.

It was as if he wanted to see through Xu Wang's disguise and confirm whether he was really alive.

It's just not the time yet.

Peter forced himself to suppress the urge to question Xu Wang further.

Thinking of this, Peter Parker felt a headache again.

Jameson didn't care what his two new employees were thinking.

He is very busy and his time is limited.

I don't have time to personally train new people.

After confirming that the two new employees had reported in, Jameson put his feet on the desk, tapped a newspaper on the desk, and said, "Now the whole of New York is discussing the two masked criminals, and we need to continue to follow up.

Although I don't like them, newspapers with them on the front page do sell well.

Did you see it?

Jameson pointed at the two blurry figures on the newspaper and continued, "Spider-Man, Dragonfly Man. We need clearer photos of them! As long as you can take photos that satisfy me, I can give you a generous bonus!"

Hearing this, Peter finally withdrew his gaze from Xu Wang and turned to look at Jameson.

Little Spider is so poor, it would be nice to make some money.

That's what he came for.

Hearing Editor-in-Chief Jameson confirm it himself made Peter's heart burn with excitement.

Maybe after I get the bonus, I can buy some gifts for Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

Jameson looked at Xu Wang and said, "Of course, the photos of the two masked criminals are just extras. You can get the bonus if you want, but you have to complete your mission. Do you understand?"

Peter heard Jameson say that he and Uncle Ben were masked criminals, and he immediately wanted to refute him.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Jameson had already turned his head to look at Peter: "As for you, you are still a student, right? You can only do part-time, you know? It's part-time! I will not let you become my formal employee."

Peter immediately raised his hands: “Of course, Mr. Jameson, part-time is enough. I’m about to graduate, and now I just want to work and study.”

"very good!"

Jameson nodded, then yelled out of the office, "Patton! Patton!"

"I'm coming!"

As Jameson yelled.

A female voice also sounded from outside.

With the sound of high heels.

The office door was pushed open, and a tall, blonde, bob-haired professional woman walked in. "Editor-in-chief, what's up?"

Her hand was still on the doorknob, and she was now leaning forward, reaching into the room.

Jameson picked up a cigar and cut it open, then waved to Miss Patton, "Two new people are here, take them to the induction process, and then go find Robbie."

"it is good."

Miss Parton nodded and motioned for Xu Wang and them to follow him.

"Then we'll be on our way, Mr. Jameson."

Although he didn't like Jameson saying bad things about him and Uncle Ben, Peter still greeted Jameson politely before leaving.

Jameson had just lit his cigar.

Hearing this, he took off his cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, and snorted at Peter.

Then there was no other expression.

Miss Parton is already very familiar with the task at hand.

The entry procedures for Xu Wang were quickly completed.

His position is a front-line investigative reporter and he earns 5,800 yuan a month.

As for Peter Parker, he is only a part-time worker, but he still needs to fill out a contract.

He is paid on a daily basis and his daily working hours cannot exceed four hours.

At the end of the month, the earnings are definitely not that much.

But Parker was already satisfied.

At least it was better than his previous job delivering pizzas.

Normally, Parker could stay in the Bugle Building and do whatever work was assigned to him.

But according to Miss Patton, he should spend more time as an outdoor photographer.

His boss would assign him photography tasks, and he would then just go out and take the photos or videos and bring them back.

This job requires you to run around outside often regardless of wind or rain.

It takes several hours to run, so some experienced employees don't want to do it.

Now that we have Peter as a part-time employee, he will definitely be assigned the job.

"Great!"

When Peter Parker heard this, he shouted with joy.

This is what he wants.

Peter was a little hesitant when he heard that he might be asked to stay in the building as a clerk.

If you are running outdoors, it would be great.

This way he can fight crime while taking part-time photos.

This was exactly what Peter needed.

"what?"

Miss Parton was puzzled to see Peter so happy.

"Ah, no, no, I mean, I have no objection."

Peter waved his hands in panic.

Miss Patton stared at Peter for a while, probably because she saw that Peter was still young, and then she said, "Don't be so arrogant. If you feel tired, you can tell me and I will help you arrange other work."

Peter felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Thank you, Miss Patton, but please don't worry, I can do it."

Xu Wangze whistled beside him: "As expected of you, Peter. You have always had such good luck with women."

Peter turned his head and said, "Xu Wang, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Wang put his hands in his pockets: "Who is Xu Wang? I am Xu Da Wang."

Peter was probably certain at this point, and gritted his teeth: “You just said Xu Wang was your brother, but now you don’t know who Xu Wang is?”

Xu Wang: “…”

Xu Wang was silent for a moment, then continued: "I was so sad that I forgot about him. This is called dissociative amnesia, a self-defense mechanism produced after trauma."

Now it was Peter's turn to remain silent.

Looking at Xu Wang telling lies with his eyes open, he felt angry and amused.

Finally, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Although I don't know what's going on, Mr. Xu Wang, welcome back."

As Peter spoke, he opened his arms and gave Xu Wang a big hug.

That might be a little strange to say.

But now Peter really feels like he is dreaming.

While hugging Xu Wang, Peter’s mind reappeared the scene where Xu Wang was almost broken into two and died in front of him a few months ago.

"Wow!"

Miss Parton, who was standing nearby, was just a bystander and had no idea what was going on.

She looks very happy now.

"Hey! Peter, this is the first time we meet. Aren't you a little too anxious?"

Xu Wang looked shy, spoke in a hushed voice, and patted Peter's shoulder again.

Peter was startled suddenly and quickly let go of Xu Wang.

However, after seeing Xu Wang's smug smile, Peter immediately realized that he had been fooled again.

This made Peter very helpless.

It's been a few months since I became Spider-Man.

He had been playing tricks on the criminals all along.

But when Xu Wang came back, he fell into other people's pranks again and again.

I'm back. The familiar feeling is back.

But I have to say that after Xu Wang's intervention, Peter's heart, which was almost suffering from PTSD, was healed.

There is no longer the deep sadness that was previously hidden deep in my heart.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. We haven't finished our work for today. Perhaps you can continue later, or should I give you a few minutes to go to the bathroom?"

Miss Parton next to her tried to hold back her laughter but joined in the joke.

Peter was frightened when he heard this, and quickly explained: "No, no, no! Miss Parton, it's not what you think, I have a girlfriend."

Xu Wang nodded frantically beside him: "I don't have a girlfriend, but I have a dog, a robot, and a good son."

Peter looked at Xu Wang helplessly: "Brother! I beg you, please say less."

Hearing this, Xu Wang crossed his arms and said seriously, "You see, I now have a younger brother, a half-brother."

"Come with me, you guys are interesting, welcome to the Daily Bugle."

Miss Patton laughed and took the two of them to find a black man named Robbie.

He is Jameson's assistant, assisting Jameson in managing the employees below.

He is considered Xu Wang and their immediate superior.

Robbie was busy typeset the new issue of the newspaper.

Seeing Patton coming over with two newcomers, he nodded and said, "Hello, welcome to the Daily Bugle. There is no rush to work today, so just let Patton take you to familiarize yourself with the newspaper. The official work will start tomorrow, is that ok?"

Peter Parker immediately said, "No problem, sir!"

Xu Wangze asked: "When will I get paid? Can I get paid daily first?"

Robbie frowned. "Salary is paid on the 15th of every month, not daily. Are you short of money?"

Xu Wang nodded, and then, under Robbie's surprised gaze, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the screen and looked at it.

I found out that today was the 15th, so I said in surprise: "Great, today is the day to get paid!"

As he spoke, Xu Wang stretched out his hand towards Robbie, his eyes full of anticipation.

The meaning is self-evident.

Robbie was silent for a moment.

What kind of a mess did Jameson bring upon himself?

When Peter saw Xu Wang was sick again, he quickly bumped his shoulder and reminded him in a low voice: "You haven't started work yet. You have to work until the 15th of next month before you can get paid."

Xu Wang frowned upon hearing this and said in disbelief: "Is this really the case? If you don't work, you won't get paid?"

Robbie sighed: "What good things are you thinking about? If you can find a job that doesn't require you to work but still gets paid, remember to tell me."

"OK then."

Xu Wang felt a little regretful and stuffed Robbie's phone into his trouser pocket.

This action made Robbie's eyelids twitch.

Fortunately, Xu Wang took out his phone and returned it to Robbie the next second, saying cheerfully, "I'm just kidding you. I only pick up trash, and I also have a phone."

Xu Wang said this and patted the personal terminal on his arm.

Yes.

A suit, glasses and a personal terminal on the left hand, this combination is common in the wasteland.

There are some anomalies in this world.

Miss Parton and the others had wanted to ask for a long time, but they had been holding back.

They left each other their phone numbers.

Robbie hurriedly urged Miss Payton to take Xu Wang and the others away.

I was afraid that if I talked to Xu Wang for any longer, his high blood pressure would relapse.

Miss Patton thought Xu Wang and Peter were quite cute.

Standing by and laughing all the time.

She could see that the two new colleagues were good people.

Just maybe a little naughty.

But it reminded her of her brother, and she liked him even more.

"Come on, I'll show you around the building, don't disturb Mr. Robbie."

Miss Patton then took Xu Wang and the others to learn more about the Daily Bugle.

As a news media founded by J. Jonah Jameson.

The Daily Bugle has also been around for over 20 years.

Before the last century, the news industry was almost entirely controlled by newspaper media.

The Daily Bugle also developed during that golden age.

But to this day.

It’s already the end of 2012.

The world has long entered the television age and the Internet age.

Jameson had a long-term and sharp vision and realized that traditional print media was becoming increasingly weak. Therefore, while maintaining the print media platform, he also began to develop radio stations, television news media and online news platforms.

The results were very successful.

This is the only way for them to independently acquire a 46-story news building that occupies a large area in Manhattan, New York, where every inch of land is valuable.

Followed Miss Parton around.

I have a general understanding of the Daily Bugle of this world.

Xu Wangdu admired the editor-in-chief who seemed a little paranoid.

No wonder in some Marvel comics, Jameson was able to successfully run for mayor of New York City.

He does have some skills.

After a while, Miss Parton's mission was completed, and Xu Wang and the others were free.

Then it's their personal time, and they can do whatever they want.

Just remember to come to work tomorrow.

Miss Parton left.

Xu Wang and Peter also left the Bugle Building.

Standing on the curb at 39th Street on Second Avenue.

Watching the traffic in front and the pedestrians coming and going beside me.

At this time, Xu Wang and Peter were finally left alone.

At this time, Peter was 100% sure that the Xu Wang next to him was the Xu Wang whom he thought was dead.

Therefore, I have been holding back a lot of questions that I want to ask.

Although the two were in a public place, there were pedestrians all around them.

But in this environment, no matter what you talk about, people around you will actually ignore you.

It's no different than being alone.

So Peter didn't think twice and decisively asked Xu Wang his biggest question: "What is your current state? Are you a living dead? Or have you come back from the dead? How did you do it?"

After all, he is his good brother, so Xu Wang did not hide anything and said directly: "I am resurrected from the dead. Actually, I am immortal."

"I knew it!"

Peter was a little surprised, then curiously asked, "Where have you been these past few months? Or does it take so long to come back from the dead?"

"That's not the case. During this period of time, I was not in this world. In fact, I am not from your world. You must know about parallel worlds. You can think of me as a traveler from a parallel world."

Xu Wang put his hands in his pockets and walked with Peter on the streets of New York, chatting as they walked.

He told Peter the general story of his journey through several worlds, and Peter's mouth opened wide.

After Xu Wang finished speaking, Peter said, "Cool! I feel like I can write an 800,000-word novel."

Then his uncontrollable curiosity came out, and he asked expectantly: "Then can you take me to other worlds?"

Xu Wang thought about the skill description of [Dimension Wall] and nodded, "Of course you can, but time is limited. Right now, I can only invite you to travel through 25 seconds. Maybe there will be other better ways in the future."

Peter was easily satisfied: "25 seconds is not bad."

As he spoke, Peter seemed to have thought of something. He said happily, "By the way, can I tell Uncle Ben and the others about your resurrection? They will definitely be very happy if they know."

Xu Wang nodded: "Of course there is no problem with this, but first tell me, where is the tombstone you erected for me?"
