Just arrived at Marvel, the system rewards the Man of Steel

Xiao Han looked at the starry sky: "I don't know, let's wait."

"Then I'll go with you!" Mei jumped up excitedly.

"We can team up! I know every corner of New York."

Mei tilted her head and thought about it, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, since the Spider-Man in this universe is gone and Kingpin is also dead, then, why don't we create one ourselves?"

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows: "Build a Spider-Man?"

"Yes!" Mei jumped up excitedly again and started thinking.

"Although Kingpin's particle collider is broken, his database should still be there! We can find records of people bitten by radioactive spiders, or simply copy the spider's genes."

Xiao Han looked at her eyes rolling around and couldn't help laughing: "You are quite thoughtful."

Mei Bao showed a confident expression: "Of course! I inherited my father's scientific talent!"

Xiao Han took a sip of soda: "So, you have a candidate?"

May said mysteriously, "Midtown High School in every universe is the birthplace of Peter Parker. Maybe there will be results there."

She paused and gave a sly smile. "All we need to do is find someone whose family background perfectly fits Spider-Man's tragic hero."

Xiao Han chuckled: "You are quite picky."

Mei blinked: "So, do you want to do it?"

Xiao Han shrugged: "No rush."

"Ah?" Mei was stunned.

"why?"

"Making Spider-Man is no small matter." Xiao Han threw away the soda can.

"Observe for a while first and see if these people are worth it."

Mei also followed and sat on the rooftop: "So what should we do now?"

Xiao Han looked into the distance, and the New York night wind blew towards him.

"Let's take a walk first. I haven't really seen this universe's New York yet."

Mei's eyes lit up. "That's great! I know there's a great pizza place in Queens, and there's also the underground graffiti streets in Brooklyn and the neon lights of Times Square."

Xiao Han interrupted her: "Why do you always talk so much?"

Mei put on the mask with a grin: "It's hereditary."

Xiao Han smiled: "You look young, how old are you?"

"18 is old."

May Parker crossed his arms, looked Xiao Han up and down, and suddenly showed a smile that seemed to see through everything: "You suddenly asked someone's age, are you attracted to me?"

Xiao Han: ???

May Parker thought his plan was successful and laughed.

The two chatted casually, and the sounds of sirens and fire trucks in the distance intertwined.

But the corner where they were was unusually quiet, with only the night breeze blowing gently.

Mei swung her legs, holding a can of Coke she had just borrowed from the vending machine.

"So." She turned her head to look at Xiao Han.

"Are we temporary partners now?"

Xiao Han did not answer immediately, his eyes sweeping across the unfamiliar city of New York.

Neon lights cast colorful reflections on the road after the rain, and the sound of saxophone from street performers can be faintly heard.

Everything was so similar to the universe he was familiar with, yet subtly different.

"For now," he finally said, taking the Coke from Mei and flicking open the pull ring with one hand.

May Parker's eyes lit up, "Great! I've never teamed up with Superman before!"

Xiao Han chuckled.

There was a strange energy about this girl that reminded him of Kara from his own universe, if Kara was more talkative.

"Then let's go for a walk first." He stood up.

"lead the way."

Mei cheered, did a backflip, and leaped up, her web accurately clinging to the opposite building. "Hold on, newbie!"

For the next few hours, the New York night sky became their playground.

Mei took Xiao Han through the skyscrapers and passed by the flashing billboards in Times Square.

I swung from the treetops in Central Park and even sneaked into the closed Museum of Natural History.

"Look! This is where my dad was bitten for the first time!" Mei pointed excitedly to a spider exhibition area, then her face fell in frustration.

"Oh yeah, this universe probably isn't."

Xiao Han looked at the furry arthropods thoughtfully: "So your plan is to find an unlucky person to be bitten?"

"No!" May protested.

"They have to go through a rigorous screening process! Character tests, physical fitness assessments, and psychological quality."

Her voice trailed off. "Well, I haven't thought that far yet."

As the predawn light began to stain the skyline, they stopped at the highest point of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Mei slumped on the cable, her mask pulled down over her head, her blond hair sticking to her forehead with sweat.

"Tired?" Xiao Han raised his eyebrows.

"No!" Mei straightened her back immediately, then slumped down again.

"Well, a little. Aren't you tired?"

Xiao Han didn't answer, his eyes fell on an ordinary apartment building in the distance.

With super vision, he penetrated the wall and saw an Asian teenager hunched over a desk doing homework late at night. On the desk was his Midtown Science and Technology High School student ID card.

"How about that one?" he pointed.

May narrowed her eyes. "Russell? Straight A's, school basketball team, dad's a firefighter."

She called up the microcomputer on her wrist. "Huh? He stopped a bullying incident last week? He has potential!"

"No rush." ​​Xiao Han withdrew his gaze.

"Observe for a few more days."

Mei smiled slyly. "So this is your method of investigation? Secretly becoming someone's guardian angel?"

In the morning light, the first rays of sunlight penetrate the clouds.

Xiao Han turned and looked at the gradually waking city: "Where are we going today?"

Mei cheered and swung her spider silk. "Dim sum in Chinatown! I know a shrimp dumpling place that's super..."

"Wow wow wow!"

She didn't get to finish her words because Xiao Han had already lifted her by the back of her collar and flew into the air: "Show me the way."

The two figures crossed the dawn sky.

In a certain room, the boy named Russell opened the window and rubbed his eyes in confusion.

He could have sworn he saw something fly by, but the sky was empty.

Chapter 144 The Unexpected Hero

The early morning sun shines on the streets of New York, and the air is still fresh after last night's rain.

Russell was carrying a schoolbag, with rock music playing in his headphones, and his fingers tapping the bag straps to the rhythm.

He was walking to school, humming a tuneless song.

suddenly

"boom!"

A gunshot broke the early morning silence.

The crowd instantly panicked, screaming. Russell's music was interrupted by reality.

He suddenly took off his headphones and looked in the direction of the sound.

In front of the convenience store on the corner, a white-haired old lady was holding on to her handbag tightly.

Opposite him was a robber wearing a mask, the gun in his hand still smoking.

"Old man, let go!" the robber threatened viciously.

The old lady's voice trembled: "No, this is my husband's surgery money, please."

Russell paused.

high in the sky

Mayparker sat cross-legged in the air, his chin in his hand, watching with fascination: "Wow, the test is coming faster than expected!"

Xiao Han crossed his arms across his chest, and the biological force field enveloped the two of them.

The invisible snakes can make the people below completely unaware of their presence.

"What do you think he will do?" Mei asked, tilting her head.

Xiao Han didn't answer, his eyes fixed on Russell.

Russell took a deep breath and looked around. The people around him had already moved away and no one dared to step forward.

"Okay." He whispered to himself.

"Dad would definitely kill me if he knew I skipped school to fight."

The next second, he suddenly took off his schoolbag, swung it around in his hands, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

Before the robber could react, Russell had already kicked the wall with his left foot and leaped up using the momentum.

"boom!"

The schoolbag hit the robber hard in the face!

"Ah!" The robber staggered back, bleeding from his nose.

Russell didn't pause after landing, turning around and doing a roundhouse kick.

This kick knocked down two knife-wielding accomplices nearby. The movement was clean and sharp, clearly well-practised.

"Kung Fu?" Mei stared wide-eyed in the air.

"Thank you! High school students are learning this?"

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows slightly: "Interesting."

Downward

Seeing this, the robber leader immediately grabbed the old lady's neck and put the muzzle of the gun to her temple: "Fuck, don't move! If you move again, I will shoot!"

Russell froze instantly, his hands raised: "Hey! Man! Calm down! Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"

The robber's hands were shaking, and he obviously didn't expect the matter to become so serious.

Russell's brain was thinking rapidly, and he suddenly put on an exaggerated expression.

"Dude, seriously, an old woman definitely doesn't have much money. How much could she possibly have in her bag? Why don't we do this? I know there's a bank up the road with terrible security. I'm a good hacker, so I can help you break in."

The robber was stunned: "What?"

"Hey, this is absolutely true! I just watched Heat last week and learned a lot from it! Besides, your business is not doing well right now. Robbing a convenience store? That doesn't suit your status! At least you should get an armored truck, right?"

Mei chuckled in the air: "This guy talks more than me?"

A smile flashed in Xiao Han's eyes: "He is stalling for time."

Sure enough, sirens were heard in the distance.
