America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

"Guess what I went through?" Wade asked.

"You were the only one who made it out of the cave?" Li Qun found the fries a bit hard to swallow.

“That’s right, I was the only one who walked out of that underground cave.” Wade laughed.

"...On the eve of my journey to the world where the Creator exists, I was the only one who regretted it."

"They all boarded spaceships and left Earth."

"Are there really spaceships?" Peter asked.

"I don't know what that is."

Li Qun's heart skipped a beat. What had Wade seen in the mysterious underground cave?

“Peter, what do you think is the end of science?” Wade asked.

“Science is still the best approach,” Peter replied.

"I think it's theology."

“My father’s mental state is like that of a fanatical believer.” Wade’s expression immediately fell, and it was clear that his father’s situation was a heavy blow to him.

"Is telling you this a blow to your aspirations for science?" Wade smiled.

“Wade, just an hour ago you were telling Peter you were the brother of the Savior,” Li Qun said.

"Even after all these years, I still feel like I'm in a dream about that trip." Wade lay on the sofa, licking the salt off his fingers, the aroma of fries lingering on his fingertips.

“I have a bold idea,” Wade suddenly said.

“I will not die now, perhaps because my father has already met the Creator and received eternal blessing from the Creator, which I have inherited through blood.”

Peter glanced at Wade with concern.

In Peter's mind, Wade gradually became the image of a fanatical believer.

It is highly likely that Wade Wilson's father joined a cult after being dismissed from the genetic research project, and his mind and spirit were brainwashed by the cult members; while Wade's father took Wade and other young men and women to the underground cave to hold a cult ritual, and in the end Wade fought his way out of the underground cave alone, burying the "evil" deep underground.

This is the truth that Peter Parker deduced in his own mind.

"Peter, don't you believe me?"

"I believe you."

"Hmm." Wade nodded.

“I’ve told you my biggest secret,” Wade said.

"Wade, did your father do any experiments on you? Did he activate some kind of gene or something?" Li Qun asked.

Li Qun's question touched Peter's heart, and Peter was also eager to know the answer.

“I love my father very much and I respect him very much. I don’t know if he has done anything to me secretly,” Wade said.

"I remember..."

"They all disappeared in a flash of white light."

Wade's throat was dry from talking, so he took a sip of iced lemonade.

"Could it be that he's back?" Wade muttered to himself.

The eight servings of fries on the plate were all eaten, the lemonade was all drunk, and half a cup of ice was slowly melting into water in the glass.

"Are you going to school tomorrow?" Wade asked, looking at the two of them.

“I have to go to school, and I also have to take midterm exams,” Li Qun replied.

Have we returned to reality?

Peter's question baffled Wade, which prevented him from making up stories all night.

"Let me take you home."

“Send Peter first,” Li Qun said.

……

Around 1 a.m., Gwen's car pulled up in front of Peter's house. All the lights in Peter's house were off, but the lights were still on in the living room of the Watson's house next door.

Peter got out of the car, and the sound of the car door closing caught the attention of the neighbors next door.

Philip Watson went out of the house again to check the situation on the porch.

"Peter, you're home so late?!" Philip Watson stared at Peter with wide eyes.

Has Peter Parker, the obedient boy who has always been so well-behaved since childhood, entered his rebellious phase? Philip smelled the scent of high-end incense on Peter; he had smelled this scent before when attending gatherings of the upper class.

“Uncle Philip, aren’t you resting yet? I went to help a friend with his studies; the midterm exams are this morning,” Peter said to Philip Watson.

Chapter 208 Chisel Chisel

As a high school student from the new century who has been through the test-oriented education system, Li Qun, an American high school student, imparts the test-taking experience to Peter Parker as "keeping a calm mind".

Exams should be taken seriously, and maintaining a "normal mindset" means performing at your best in your daily routine. In Saiyan terms, it's about being in "full power" mode, drawing on all the knowledge in your brain to perfectly answer every question on the exam paper.

The school's midterm exams are not very difficult, but no one can relax just because they are applying to college. Early applications to universities also take into account students' grades in the 12th semester.

For Peter and his fellow high school students, an even more important exam awaits them in December: the SAT, an academic aptitude test and reasoning test administered by the College Board.

“I thought it was about preparing for the SAT,” Philip Watson said to Peter.

“It’s too late to get SAT tutoring now,” Peter shook his head.

“That makes sense,” Philip Watson nodded.

"Go home and rest. I won't keep you from sleeping any longer."

Philip Watson just wanted to talk to someone. He exchanged a few words with Peter, then turned and went back into the house, the door closing gently behind him.

Peter quietly entered the house without making a sound.

The next morning, while Aunt May was preparing breakfast, Peter came downstairs, which surprised her.

"Peter?"

"What time did you get back last night?" Aunt Mei asked.

“Around one o’clock in the morning,” Peter replied.

Peter was in good spirits. As soon as Peter sat down at the table, Aunt May placed breakfast in front of him.

“This was originally prepared for Ben, but he hasn’t gotten up yet. Peter, you eat first,” Aunt May said.

"Thank you, Aunt Mei."

Aunt May kissed Peter on the forehead and turned to continue preparing breakfast.

Peter's breakfast today was a simple white breakfast: toast with bacon, fried eggs, and a glass of milk.

It's okay if it tastes dry; just spread some mayonnaise, tartar sauce, or jam on it, and then eat it with milk.

"I'm going to school."

"Be careful, Peter."

“I probably won’t be home very early today,” Peter said to Aunt May.

“Just don’t let the police call us,” Aunt May said to Peter.

Peter went out and walked for a while, leaving his residential community. He walked through an empty alley and then disappeared into it.

If someone were to look up at this moment, they would see a young man doing extreme sports on the roof of a building.

Peter can move swiftly between buildings of varying heights even without using spider silk.

Peter was severely addicted to "wall-climbing," and when he was running wildly on the rooftops, he felt that he had abandoned his brain and his soul had been set free.

Peter arrived at school early, but Li Qun was there just as early. Peter saw Li Qun chatting with the vice principal at the entrance of the teaching building.

"Columbia University has a local preference for its local students, and its final acceptance rate is more than 30% higher than the national average."

Peter moved closer and overheard the conversation between Vice Principal George and Li Qun.

The vice principal was telling Li Qun some non-public university admission data, and there were vaguely some guidelines for Li Qun's university application process mixed in.

"I'm really looking forward to your SAT score."

When Vice Principal George saw Peter, who was inseparable from Li Qun, arrive, he ended their conversation.

“I thought I was fast enough today. How was our lunch?” Peter teased Li Qun.

"With an insulated food container, Peter, can you imagine me jumping around like a monkey?"

“Hey, did you sleep last night?” Li Qun asked Peter.

“She’s asleep,” Peter replied.

"I really fell asleep."

"I wasn't thinking about killer worlds, genetic experiments, or Jesus the savior."

"Okay, I understand." Li Qun smiled.

Peter went to bed to rest last night, but Li Qun did not.

Bruce Banner had been using his crystal ball magic to monitor his activities with Wade the previous night, and he had heard all the "stories" Wade told on the television on the magical television.

Dr. Banner secretly retrieved the curtains that Wade had taken to exchange for a suit from the tailor shop and brought them back to the Sanctum Sanctum. He then used the curtains as leverage to demand that Wade Wilson hand over the genetic research results of his father, Martin Wilson.

Martin Wilson, who conducted forbidden experiments, had his research data strictly sealed, and some of it was even destroyed. However, Wade knew that his father had made a backup of his own results and secretly hid it in the basement of their former home, sealing it with cement.

When Wade was young, he chiseled it out and looked at it once, but he didn't understand it, so he sealed it back under the cement.

Last night, after dropping Peter off at home, Wade and Li Qun, along with Dr. Banner, the foreman, went to the house that had been converted into someone else's home and dug the backup file out from under the concrete floor of the basement.

Even after Li Qun arrived at the school, Dr. Banner was still excitedly reading Martin Wilson's life's work.

Bruce Banner stated that Wade's father was a genius of the century who surpassed him in the fields of genetics and biology.

"Liqun, did you know? Before long, this preserved, groundbreaking wisdom will allow us to mass-produce Peter's spider silk protein using E. coli."

Dr. Banner traded the magical curtains that had hung in the Sanctuary for thousands of years for a key to unlock the Source of Life.

Li Qun couldn't understand Martin Wilson's research materials. The "Ascension Technique" was right in front of him, but he couldn't learn it. He could only reluctantly let his mentor Bruce Banner take him flying.
