Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

After all, with his current genius and four million dollars, he could easily create similar equipment at any time.

However, blue items worth 1,000 sacrifice points are not something you can encounter all the time.

Current sacrifice value: 3000

After glancing at his system balance with satisfaction, Peter's gaze finally settled on the dark red bodysuit.

Because the sacrifice of related items for the same character has a cooldown period of up to half a year, this set of armor did not receive any sacrifice value notifications.

(The Spider Corpse belongs to Spider-Man, and the Decay Rate draft belongs to Peter's parents, so it doesn't count as a conflict of fact.)

As my fingertips gently glide over this suit, I feel its firmness and elasticity.

This is a special material mainly composed of Kevlar fiber, which not only has top-notch abrasion resistance and puncture resistance, but also takes into account breathability and flexibility.

For Peter at this moment, this was simply the ideal material for the first-generation suit.

"Kevlar fiber..."

Looking at the more than a thousand dollars in his wallet, Peter didn't hesitate. He pulled up his hood, opened the window, and jumped from the second floor, heading straight for a nearby industrial supplies store.

A short while later, Peter returned carrying a large shopping bag.

It contained rolls of finished Kevlar fabric, a tactical belt, and a pair of black Doc Martens.

With all the materials needed to make the suit, Peter immediately got to work.

During a break, Peter turned on his computer and checked out local New York online forums.

Soon after, a post was discovered that had been pushed to the top of the trending list:

[A masked female heroine was spotted performing a heroic act late at night in Queens!]

A photo was attached to the post.

The photo has very low resolution, was taken from an awkward angle, and is blurry; it was clearly taken by an ordinary citizen in a panic using their mobile phone.

Although the photo was blurry, Peter immediately recognized the iconic battle suit in it.

That iconic black and white bodysuit, and... those ridiculously bright green ballet flats.

It's Gwen's Ghost Spider set!

Looking at the blurry photo, Peter couldn't help but smile slightly, a smile that was both amused and appreciative.

Gwen moved even faster than he had imagined.

They managed to complete the entire set of equipment, including the web-shooter, in just one day.

"Since that's the case, then I can't slack off!"

With this thought in mind, Peter quickened his movements slightly.

When the morning sunlight streamed through the window into the bedroom, Peter's battle suit was finally complete.

Peter's initial idea was that the suit should be mainly black and gold, but because some materials were taken from Daredevil's suit, the original black and gold suit had to be changed to black and red.

After trying on the outfit, I found that the fit was just right, and it was very supportive. More importantly... it was much more stylish than Gwen's ballet costume!

After stuffing his battle suit into his schoolbag for emergencies, Peter ate breakfast and, as usual, boarded the school bus.

Gwen didn't take a day off today, but she still looked sullen as she sat in her seat, carrying a classic copy of the Daily Bugle.

Peter, who plopped down next to Gwen, glanced at the newspaper instinctively and almost burst out laughing.

The headline on the front page of the Daily Bugle today was—

Shocking! Dog-eat-dog tragedy unfolds at Pier 9! Dozens of gang members die a gruesome death on the pier!

Chapter 21: Are there really superheroes this narcissistic?

Peter could more or less guess what Gwen was thinking at that moment.

Just like in Maguire's Spider-Man, when Peter first gained his superpowers, he didn't think about fighting evil immediately.

Instead, he only wanted to use this special ability to make money in underground arenas, and then buy a used convertible to pursue Mary Jane.

As for becoming a superhero? What's that? Can you eat it?

Clearly, Gwen had similar thoughts at this point.

Her choice to become a masked hero was influenced not only by her father but also, more importantly, by the vanity typical of teenagers.

Last night was her superhero debut.

One can imagine that she didn't sleep well at all after she got home last night, and was looking forward to seeing her own legend on the front page of the newspaper and in the discussions of her classmates this morning.

The results of it?

The fledgling Spider-Man was robbed of her own headlines; there wasn't even a tiny news item about her.

No wonder she's upset!

Now that the crux of the problem has been identified, Peter naturally knows how to cure it.

"Hey, Gwen, stop reading those old-fashioned print news articles! Look at this!"

Peter patted Gwen on the shoulder and handed her his phone, which contained a picture of a ghost spider that he had specially downloaded from his computer the day before.

They are currently in 2009, and Tony Stark has not yet mysteriously disappeared. Therefore, the world's technology is still quite backward.

Despite having companies like Osborn Group with outrageously skewed technological development, smartphones have yet to become widespread.

This is also an industry that Peter has been planning to develop. Apple doesn't exist in this world, but with the right amount of funding, he believes he can replicate Apple's business empire in the Marvel universe.

However, he hasn't even made his first fortune yet, so building a business empire by selling mobile phones is a long way off...

Hearing Peter's loud and boisterous voice, Gwen listlessly raised her head, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

Can't you tell I'm in a bad mood? You big jerk, who are you grinning at?!

However, when she saw the specific photos on Peter's phone, her expression immediately underwent a complete 180-degree change.

Because the photos on her phone showed her agile figure as she fought for justice last night!

Gwen shifted her body unconsciously, and after a moment of hesitation, asked with a curious expression:

"who is she?"

Little brat, you're quite the actor!

After mentally complaining, Peter pretended to be excited and started playing house with Gwen.

While it's impossible to keep it a secret from Gwen forever, teasing little Gwen is still quite fun for now:

"I don't know either. I saw it on an online forum. A superheroine who can shoot spider webs. That's so cool, isn't it!"

And the poster said that when he saw this masked hero yesterday, she was subduing a robber, which was amazing!

A neighborhood hero dedicated to protecting ordinary people is just like the legendary Robin Hood.

The people at the Daily Bugle have terrible taste; they didn't report on her deeds at all, but instead focused on gangland infighting. It's utterly baffling.

As Peter recounted the story, Gwen's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and a blush crept onto her pretty face. She felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

It turns out that her actions weren't going unnoticed; at least Peter was watching her actions last night and had a high opinion of her!

Just as she was thinking this, another pleasant female voice rang out beside her:

"Hey Peter, Gwen, are you talking about that masked heroine from last night?"

The speaker was a beautiful silver-haired girl named Felicia Hardy, a member of Gwen and Peter's study group. In many Spider-Man parallel universes, she also has a hidden identity in the future: Black Cat.

Good morning, Felicia.

Upon hearing that her best friend Felicia knew about her performance last night, Gwen subconsciously straightened her back, and her whole demeanor became noticeably more excited.

“We were indeed discussing the masked female superhero from last night, and now that Peter mentioned it, I think she’s pretty cool too.”

At this point, she blushed slightly, then asked curiously:

"Hey, have you guys noticed how people on the forums are talking about me... this masked hero I'm really interested in?"

"Well!" Peter tilted his head thoughtfully, and only after he had piqued Gwen's interest did he smile and say:

"I remember last night netizens were discussing what to call her. Some said 'Spider-Woman,' and others suggested calling her 'White Widow' or something like that?"

"What lousy names!" Gwen couldn't help but complain.

Felicia, standing nearby, nodded in agreement: "Those people have absolutely terrible taste."

Peter nodded in agreement at first, then gave a serious suggestion:

"If you ask me, her black and white battle suit, appearing and disappearing in the night, is like a ghostly figure. Perhaps it should be called... 'Ghost Spider'?"

Ghost Spider...

Gwen silently repeated the name in her heart, her eyes unconsciously shining.

This name is both mysterious and cool, perfectly matching all her fantasies about her heroic image!

It's so much better than those awful names like "White Widow"!

“This is a good name! This is the name we should use!” Gwen nodded vigorously, her smile brighter than ever before.

Seeing her like this, Peter couldn't resist the urge to tease her again, so he deliberately sighed and said:

"Sigh, what's the use of us thinking this name is good? I posted it on the forum yesterday and nobody responded! I guess it won't even reach that lady's ears..."

Who says it won't reach her ears!

Also! She's a young girl, not a lady!

Gwen was internally ranting and raving, but could only smile and say:

"Perhaps after this masked hero performs her heroic deeds, she will be curious about how everyone is praising her! So, she will definitely see the name you gave her."

Gwen racked her brains trying to comfort Peter without revealing her hidden identity, but the next second Felicia spoke up from the side:

"No way, are there really superheroes this narcissistic in the world?"

Gwen: (???)

She, who was in a great mood, suddenly didn't want to talk to her best friend anymore...
