America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

"that's it?"

“I remember when I was little, all my relatives came for the Mid-Autumn Festival. There were so many people, and we had several tables of people for dinner,” Li Qun said.

“So this is a family gathering,” Stephanie said.

“The Chinatown Community Center also organizes festival activities on Mid-Autumn Festival evening. If you have some free time, you can come and have some fun,” Li Qun said.

"Peter, it's time for training. Let's go find Dr. Banner."

"Let me change my clothes."

Peter went back to his room to change his clothes. After changing, he and Li Qun went through the portal to the Holy of Holies.

"Do you want to fly?" Dr. Banner asked Liqun and Peter.

“Of course I wanted to,” Peter replied immediately.

“The way mages fly is standing up, do you understand what I mean?” Dr. Banner asked.

“I know, Superman flies sideways,” Li Qun replied.

“Few mages practice flying spells because they could easily fall to their deaths if they are not careful.”

“But you shouldn’t die from the fall, so I can teach you with confidence,” Dr. Banner said.

"Dr. Banner, why did you suddenly want to teach us how to fly tonight?" Li Qun asked.

"Peter can shoot spider silk, and Li Qun is good at using portals. What would happen if we sealed these two abilities of yours?"

“I think you should have a backup plan,” Dr. Banner said.

"Come and take a look. All the flight spells recorded in Kamar-Taj are here. Old Wang even thoughtfully included the elective content."

"Elective course?"

Li Qun and Peter huddled around the table. They first glanced at several flight spells, which were quite complex. When they looked at the elective section, the magical flight items piqued their interest.

Flying boots, flying brooms, flying cloaks... Li Qun and Peter's hearts tipped towards magical flying equipment.

“Liqun, you don’t need to look at this anymore. You can fly by holding onto the Golden Cudgel, but you still need to learn flight magic,” Dr. Banner said.

“Peter, has something caught your eye?” Li Qun asked, turning his head.

“Flying boots,” Peter replied.

"The person was wearing boots, and the two pairs of wings on the boots made the person fly, like the magical boots in a Disney cartoon."

“Flying boots don’t match your overall style,” Dr. Banner said.

“But other options don’t quite fit either,” Peter said.

"You two should practice your flight spells first."

Dr. Banner donned the Levitation Cloak today, spread his arms, put them on the shoulders of Li Qun and Peter, and led them into the Mirror Dimension.

"This is the best flight spell I've ever chosen."

"The principle of this spell's flight is actually related to space."

"It is not you who are moving within space, but the space you are in that is moving."

“During flight, you will feel like you are tug-of-war with space, which will drain your energy,” Dr. Banner said.

"Follow me and do these movements."

Li Qun and Peter studied diligently, and after mastering the hand gestures and movements, they put their magic into practice.

Peter was the first to gain a clear understanding of space. Peter's spider senses began to work, and the existence of space was, to Peter, a huge, invisible spider web.

While Peter was tug-of-war with the "spider web," Peter began to "fly," moving through space.

"interesting."

Dr. Banner stroked his chin, the magical frequency emanating from Peter making him think of something.

"Peter, do you feel anything?" Dr. Banner flew towards Peter, who stopped in mid-air.

"The world is a giant spider web."

“I can move freely on this web,” Peter replied.

“My sixth sense just told me that your spider abilities seem a bit unscientific,” Dr. Banner said.

"Am I a magical spider?" Peter asked.

"Perhaps your unique existence has attracted the attention of certain beings."

“Being noticed by certain beings can also grant you power,” Bruce Banner said.

“Dr. Banner, what you’re saying is a bit scary.” Peter looked around nervously, as if searching for security cameras.

"Don't panic."

"It's just my unfounded speculation."

Holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), Li Qun slowly rose into the air from the rooftop, ascending to a height of about three meters.

Li Qun's mind conjured up images: a monkey dressed in clothes slowly flying on clouds.

"Climbing Clouds"

"Golden Cudgel, can you teach me the Somersault Cloud?" Li Qun asked the Golden Cudgel.

In Li Qun's mind, an image of a monkey somersaulting across the four seas and four continents flashed through his mind again...

"It's space itself that's moving..."

Li Qun keenly noticed the commonalities between the Somersault Cloud and the flight spells he was currently learning.

The flying spells he learned required a tug-of-war with space, making it very strenuous to fly, while the "Somersault Cloud" did not.

"Should I do a somersault too?"

Li Qun seized the feeling in his heart and jumped in mid-air, holding the golden cudgel.

Li Qun jumped to another place; it seemed like he had used a portal to teleport.

Dr. Banner sensed the magical energy emanating from Li Qun and stroked his chin, pondering once more.

This time, Dr. Banner's sixth sense told him that there was a way to tether a monkey to its own leash.

Peter and Liqun each possess unique magical properties, which produce unique effects when they use spells.

Li Qun did another somersault and returned to the starting position.

"Be careful, don't end up in outer space," Dr. Banner joked to Li Qun.

"Am I going off-topic? Can this even be considered flying?" Li Qun said.

Chapter 387 World's Top Web Crawler Expert

Cort Connors appeared at Otto Octavius's doorstep, carrying a case of beer in his left hand.

"What brings you here, Connors?" Dr. Otto asked Kurt Connors from the doorway.

"Want to chat?" Connors asked, holding up his beer.

"Come in."

The two sat down in the backyard, and Otto opened a beer for Connors, and they drank together.

"They cut your project?" Otto asked.

“Yes, you guessed it right away,” Connors said.

"Just a little bit more, I was just a little bit more."

“Recently, I’ve heard some rumors that may be related to your project being canceled,” Dr. Otto said.

“I’ve heard those rumors too. I didn’t think it would affect my research project, but I didn’t expect to be the first person affected,” Dr. Connors said.

"I heard that Stark invested in your artificial intelligence project?" Connors asked Dr. Otto.

“Tony Stark seems to be very interested in artificial intelligence, and he has given me a lot of inspiration when we communicate via email,” Dr. Otto said.

“Connors, do you want to contact Osborn and continue your research project through him?” Otto asked.

"Do you have connections?"

“Norman Osborne’s son, Harry Osborne, is at our school, and I taught him in high school,” Otto said.

"Can his son make a difference?" Connors expressed doubt.

“At least you can get Norman Osborn’s private phone number and call him at the right time,” Otto said.

“Weren’t you the army’s best surgeon? Why don’t you try to use your connections in the military?” Otto asked.

"I'll give it a try."

“But I feel the chances are slim; those people in the military are currently indulging in the dream of a successful super soldier,” Connors said.

……

……

Kurt Connors arrived at Osborne Industries' newly built laboratory in New York City.

Osborne was in dire need of experts in biology and genetics, and the phone call he made to Norman Osborne became the call for his job interview.

"This is a super mouse that has been given enhanced serum, Dr. Connors. Do you see? There are signs of regeneration in its lost forelimb."

Dr. Storm led Connors to observe the experimental mice.

Connors moved closer and, noticing someone approaching, the super mouse slammed into the observation window.

"Wow!! That startled me!"

Connors took a few steps back.

Connors is also a world-leading herpetologist; mammals are a foreign territory to him.

“We have to be especially careful with these little things,” Dr. Storm said.

"These?"

"In addition to super mice, we also have super dogs, super rabbits, super rhesus monkeys, super chimpanzees, and super snakes."
