America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

"This is a tradition of the ball, it has been like this since the first graduating class of the school."

"School rules prohibit students from dating, while the graduation ball provides an opportunity for boys and girls who have feelings for each other to confess their love."

“There’s a rumor that people who successfully confess their feelings at the prom will find true love,” Liz said.

“Liz, have you heard any rumors about anyone wanting to try out for this prom?” Li Qun asked.

“Nobody’s talking about this; they’re not ready to find their true love yet,” Liz said.

"Pity."

“If Mary Jane were still here, Peter would give it a try,” Gwen said, looking at Peter.

“I admit I would try, but Mary Jane isn’t here.”

Peter has been teased so many times that he has come to accept it with equanimity.

Chapter 301 Modern Yet Ancient

The Adventures of Incredibles #600, a milestone commemorative issue, extra-large with 64 pages, priced at $3.95. Peter always chooses the best value comic book when buying comics.

The comic book contains 40 pages of the main Superman storyline, while the remaining 24 pages are limited bonus content that pays homage to Superman's past stories.

Peter was engrossed in reading it, and the comic book took him on a journey through Superman's origin story.

Krypton Destruction, Rocketeer to Earth; The Farm Boy, Farewell to Lana Ron, Clark & ​​Lois of the Daily Planet, Superman's First Flight, First Encounter with Crime, Lex Luthor's Gaze, Partners of the Justice League, The Secret of the Lonely Fortress, Truth and Justice, The Eternal Guardian...

The origin story of Superman entered Peter's mind, and in his mind it was transformed into another image.

The Boys of Queens;

Farewell to Mary Jane;

Peter Parker of the Daily Bugle;

The Guardians of New York...

As he thought about it, Peter's lips involuntarily curled up into a smile.

As Peter closed the comic, he felt inspired by his "predecessor" in his "superhero" career.

This is the right thing to do, and he needs to stick to it.

However, we cannot be blind; we must learn from the experiences and lessons of our predecessors.

Peter glanced at the time and listened to the sounds coming from Uncle Ben and Aunt May's bedroom. After confirming that Uncle Ben and Aunt May were asleep, Peter changed into his spider suit, climbed out the window, and began his nighttime patrol.

Peter remembered stepping on Gwen's feet repeatedly during the day.

He held back all his strength while practicing dancing, but he still managed to injure Gwen's foot.

Peter became worried.

If you can cause such serious harm to an ordinary person without even using force, were you perhaps too harsh when dealing with the robber? I haven't seen anyone committing crimes at night anymore; are all these people hospitalized?

However, the thought that he used the same force he had when practicing martial arts with Li Qun to deal with these criminals made Peter feel a little more at ease.

Li Qun wasn't injured by himself, and those people probably weren't injured to the point of needing hospitalization.

Peter comforted himself, thinking that it was normal for Gwen to be less resistant to blows because she was a girl.

Superheroes in comics all have a no-killing principle, and Peter also uses the superhero principle from comics to restrain himself.

Several gunshots rang out in the distance, and Peter immediately rushed over.

The gang conflict has started again, and Peter is crouching on the rooftop, silently observing.

Maybe I should jump down like Batman, beat all the gangsters here to a pulp, and then call the police to clean up the mess.

Peter thought about it but didn't do it.

Being in a gang is actually a job. Beating these people down will cause them to lose their jobs, and losing their jobs might even cost them their lives.

Just as Peter was about to continue observing, a gunfight suddenly broke out. People from both gangs fired at each other, and injuries and disabilities appeared instantly.

"Batman was right."

Peter jumped off the roof, dodging every bullet while shooting spider silk at everyone who fired.

When the gunfight began, the gang members were all looking for cover, which made it difficult for Peter to use his webs to restrain them.

The light bulb was blown up by the bullet immediately; these people were just shooting randomly based on their instincts.

Peter leaped through the darkness, crept up behind the gang members, knocked them to the ground, and sent them to their sleep.

Once the room had completely quieted down, Peter used someone's phone to call the police, speaking in a low voice to explain the situation to the operator and asking the NYPD to send someone over immediately.

Before the New York police arrived, Peter inspected the scene to find out why the two gangs were fighting.

In a box, Peter found blue crystalline powder.

Upon seeing the contents of the box, Peter understood the reason.

"96%? What does that mean?"

The sound of sirens came from afar, and Peter knew it was time to leave the crime scene.

……

……

"Dad's liniment for bruises and sprains works very well."

"now?"

Gwen looked at Li Qun.

"Now of course."

“You have to take off your shoes,” Gwen said, sitting in her wheelchair.

“Then take it off,” Li Qun said.

"Get away from me."

"She's quite shy."

Li Qun left the club activity room, leaving Gwen to apply the medicine herself in the classroom.

Is it okay now?

"Okay."

"Let's go to a restaurant for dinner."

Li Qun pushed the folding wheelchair and jogged to the restaurant, where Peter was already waiting for a while.

"It smells strongly of alcohol." Peter sniffed Gwen; the medicinal wine actually smelled quite nice.

"What if the teacher asks?" Stephanie asked.

“Tell the teacher that this tastes like medicinal wine, and nobody drinks it,” Li Qun said to Stephanie.

"You brought alcohol?"

Liz sat down next to Li Qun with her plate in hand, and curiously sniffed the air.

“It’s really addictive,” Liz said.

"Medicated wine, do you understand?" Li Qun asked.

"of course."

"But why doesn't Gwen smell of alcohol on her breath?" Liz asked, puzzled.

“It’s not medicinal wine to drink, it’s medicinal wine to apply,” Li Qun patiently explained to Liz.

“It must be very expensive, right? It doesn’t seem like something that ordinary people can afford,” Liz said.

"What era do we live in?" Li Qun asked Liz.

“The 21st century,” Lids replied.

“If you hadn’t told me, I would have thought we lived in the Middle Ages, with commoners, nobles, lords and all that,” Li Qun said to Liz.

“It doesn’t really matter. Once we leave New York, the lands outside belong to the various lords,” Harry said.

"Really?" Liz looked at Harry in shock.

“In addition to owning land, lords also have their own armies. Local police stations and tax offices serve the local lords.”

"You're not kidding?" Peter looked at Harry in shock.

“No.” Harry kept smiling and shook his head.

“Actually, my family is also a minor lord. If I can’t inherit the company, I’ll have to go back to the countryside and be a minor lord again,” Harry said with a smile.

“Harry, where is your family’s land?” Li Qun asked earnestly.

“It’s not on the map, it’s north of New York,” Harry replied.

"Do you have to pay taxes on your territory?" Li Qun asked.

“Yes, I need to,” Harry replied.

“Harry, what taxes will be collected on your land?” Gwen asked.

"No, it's that I need to pay taxes to the country."

“This feels very strange to me,” Peter said slowly, looking at Harry.

“You can be lords too, all you have to do is buy land,” Harry said.

Chapter 302 Osborn Weapons Research Department

Osborn Industries' battery technology is far ahead in the field, placing it in a leading position among the world's top tier.

A review of battery technology patents reveals that more than half originate from Osborn Industries.

Norman saw very far ahead, but his vision was so far-reaching that he felt his aggressive push for battery technology was somewhat limited by the present.

However, Norman believes that this situation of heroes having no use for their skills will change in the near future.

While he was researching human enhancement serum, he also tasked another research team at Osborn Industries with developing super combat equipment to complement the super soldiers, maximizing their imagination to enable the super soldiers injected with the enhancement serum to demonstrate revolutionary combat capabilities using this super combat equipment.
