Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 37 Entrepreneurial Mindset

Seeing the Punisher's request to team up, Bai Ye refused without hesitation.

If it were just some petty thieves robbing banks with guns, it would be fine, but given his current physical condition, he would only be able to die if he were shot seven or eight times in the same spot in the head by a pistol.

Bai Ye would occasionally be interested in doing good deeds when there was no danger, as it was a way to relax.

But vampires are something that sounds supernatural and seems incredibly troublesome. Let whoever wants to do it do it; his current strength simply doesn't support him inflating his ego to that extent.

Faced with Bai Ye's order to leave, the Punisher stopped his verbal sparring and chose to leave without hesitation. The crushing defeat he had just suffered was humiliating enough, and there was no need to continue the entanglement. However, before leaving, Bai Ye called him back.

"By the way, I remember Blade was handling the vampire stuff, wasn't he? How did you, an ordinary person, get involved? Isn't that a bit beyond your level?" Bai Ye asked curiously, just like Matt did.

"Blade lost contact the day before yesterday and it seems he has been killed." After saying this, the Punisher left, leaving White Night deep in thought.

"White, do vampires really exist?" Peter Parker felt his worldview crumbling. Was there really so much hidden behind this peaceful world?

"You've seen mutants, so why can't you accept vampires? They're just a bunch of shady characters. In terms of strength, 99% of them couldn't beat you now that you've mutated."

As Bai Ye spoke, he fell into deep thought, never expecting that he would stumble upon the script of the Blade Runner next door while sitting at home.

"But according to the original plot, no matter which one it is, I can handle it on my own even without him, right?" Bai Ye thought to himself with some uncertainty.

After all, the universe he is in now is definitely not the original Earth-199999 Avengers universe, but a strange world in the Marvel multiverse that inexplicably mixes multiple independent worldviews.

Vampires, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and mutants all live and thrive in the same world, and it's impossible to predict what kind of trouble they'll cause due to the butterfly effect.

Filled with inexplicable anxiety about his own strength, Bai Ye picked up the steel rod lying on the ground and threw it at Peter.

"Just like yesterday, use him to hit me, while keeping the frequency the same, but increase the strength by 20%."

"20%?" Peter looked at Bai Ye in surprise, but still nodded heavily. Following Bai Ye's instructions, he increased the force of his whip and struck Bai Ye's body.

Soon, the dull thud of steel bars hitting rubber tires echoed throughout the gym.

The deep sound could be faintly heard even by the other people exercising below. They all looked up at the ceiling with puzzled expressions, thinking that there was renovation going on up there.

Because of the increased strength, Peter's whipping lasted for only twenty-five minutes before he had to stop and relax his hands.

Of course, compared to physical exhaustion, Bai Ye was more concerned about Peter Parker's current mental state.

"Why have you been so absent-minded since just now?" Bai Ye asked Peter, who was deep in thought.

"Bai, I'm thinking about what the Punisher said earlier."

Peter paused for a moment, then stopped what he was doing and said, "You said that after we have these abilities, should we use them to become superheroes like them and help more people?"

Faced with his question, Bai Ye did not speak, but turned to stare at him for a long time without saying a word.

Peter felt a little uneasy under that look, wondering if his friend was angry. For a moment, the atmosphere in the gym became somewhat quiet.

After a long while, Bai Ye slowly withdrew his gaze and continued training, urging, "What are you standing there for? Don't stop moving your hands."

"Phew." Peter breathed a sigh of relief and continued swinging the steel rod in his hand.

"Should I say he truly lives up to his reputation as a good guy who, even when he turns evil, only threatens his boss for a raise? Even if Uncle Ben isn't dead, he's still preparing to follow the old path of a superhero."

Bai Ye was somewhat depressed, wondering if he had paid Peter Parker too much for his part-time job, causing him to pursue spiritual fulfillment after he was no longer under financial pressure. Why not be a superhero?

Of course, Bai Ye also knew that this guy's persona was that of a born saint, and there was no way to persuade him. He could only silently wish him a smooth journey on his path as a cursed lone star.

"However, even if we spend money to save on licensing and other paperwork, having Smith go to the factory to buy and modify the stamping machine the day before yesterday will still take at least ten days to two weeks. We can't waste this window of opportunity; we must at least squeeze out as much of Peter's remaining value as possible."

Bai Ye thought to herself, then suddenly looked at Peter and said, "Peter, if you insist on becoming a superhero, I won't stop you. But have you thought about how to balance your hobby and your life?"

"There are no subsidies or guarantees for being a superhero. I remember you were raised by your uncle and aunt. Don't you think about them?"

"This..." Peter was immediately caught in a deep hesitation.

Thinking about how pleased Uncle Ben and the others were when I took out 20,000 yuan in cash this morning and told them about my part-time job, my restless heart immediately cooled down.

"Don't forget, I've already paid you a high salary of 20,000 for a month's part-time job. I'm not stopping you from becoming a superhero, but at least you can't miss the first month's work," Bai Ye said.

"I understand." After thinking for a moment, Peter nodded solemnly.

"Plan works!" Bai Ye thought with relief as Peter agreed.

As expected, the real world of Palu is still too unstable. As the boss, he actually has to take care of the employees' emotions. It's really the opposite of what he expects.

Unlike the ordered machines that work tirelessly and won't stop as long as their internal parts aren't damaged.

In half a month, once the factory develops its modern equipment, it will be able to directly replace Peter and other outdated manual laborers.

Of course, this is not a layoff, but rather an outsourcing of highly skilled personnel.

It means sending Peter, this highly skilled laborer, to the streets of New York to continue being his superhero, contributing to the construction of American capitalism and shining brightly.

At this moment, Peter was unaware that Bai Ye, who was beside him, had already planned out how to optimize him, while he was still working hard to train Bai Ye without knowing anything about it.

Peter felt grateful, thinking that even though he had mentioned wanting to leave, the other person was still so considerate of him; his friend was truly wonderful.

"There's still not enough time," Bai Ye thought regretfully.

Since he obtained the panel, all sorts of events have been drawn to him like a magnet, impossible to avoid; it's all happening too fast.
