Han Yu said seriously, "Mm, good thing you haven't told too many people. You'd better keep this buried in your stomach. If too many people find out, it could put you and your family and friends in danger."
Peter Parker was startled by how serious he looked and readily agreed. To lighten the mood, Peter Parker started babbling again, but Han Yu wasn't listening. A voice that had suddenly sounded in his head had caught his attention.
"Ding! Quest triggered: 'Make a Spider-Man suit'!"
The corners of Han Yu's mouth curled up slightly. The quest the system had given him was far too easy.
Quests without a "main" or "extra" prefix were ordinary quests. They triggered fairly often, and their rewards were usually three to five upgrade points.
To get anything good, he would have to be blessed by the RNG gods.
Making a spider suit won't be hard at all. I remember Spider-Man's suit from my previous life perfectly, but should I help him?
Han Yu stared at the motor-mouthed teenager in front of him and fell into thought. Making a suit was easy, but anything Han Yu made would be no ordinary item. If its owner couldn't use it properly, it would be a disaster for him and for everyone else.
"Parker, let me stop you there," Han Yu said, making a stopping gesture. "You've got superpowers now. What are you planning to do with them?"
Han Yu's question brought Peter Parker to silence.
What would he do? That really was a question. Burn, kill, and plunder?
Peter Parker had no such intentions. Become a sports star at school? He felt that would be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
After thinking for a moment, Peter Parker looked Han Yu straight in the eye and said, "I want to fight crime. I want to help people."
His answer made Han Yu's eyes light up slightly. He went on to ask, "Why?"
Peter Parker was silent for a moment before he said, "Because... when you have the ability to do something and you don't, then the bad things that happen afterward are your responsibility."
Han Yu was very satisfied with his answer. For a sixteen-year-old boy to have that kind of awareness was already impressive, and it made him worthy of having Han Yu make him a suit.
Han Yu said, "Then are you ready? Being a superhero isn't as easy as you imagine. The things you'll have to face are far beyond anything you can imagine, and your life could even be at stake!"
Peter Parker said, "If I don't do it, I'll have an even harder time."
"Very good, young man. You've convinced me. Come with me."
"Huh? Where are we going...?"
Since they were on the first floor, there was still a chance someone might come in, and it wouldn't be good for a stranger to find out about this. So Han Yu took him to a room.
He felt around on the wall beside him for a while before finding the switch.
The lights came on, illuminating the room. What Peter Parker saw inside made his eyes widen.
The room was surprisingly large, roughly fifty or sixty square meters. Weapons hung all over the walls, more than the eye could take in. This was Han Yu's workshop, used specifically for forging all kinds of weapons and equipment.
"What's that thing?"
In the center of the room was a huge metal "furnace pit." Peter Parker spotted the thing that looked like a "furnace pit" and leaned closer curiously.
The "furnace pit" was so wide that two adults couldn't reach around it together. It was about a meter high and looked like some kind of ultrahigh-tech thruster.
Han Yu said casually, "That's a Planetary Thruster. I usually use it to forge things."
"A Planetary Thruster?!"
Peter Parker's hair stood on end. He looked at Han Yu strangely and said, "Han, you haven't gone crazy from watching sci-fi movies, have you?"
No one could blame Peter Parker for reacting that way. Never mind him—even if the Avengers were here, they would think Han Yu had lost his mind if they heard that.
"You'd better step back a little."
Han Yu smiled, walked over to the control console standing nearby, and pressed a few buttons. The Planetary Thruster let out several thunderous booms, and a tremendously thick jet of blue flame erupted from it.
The powerful column of flame looked as though it could vaporize a person in an instant. A barely visible layer of energy surrounded it, keeping the column from scorching its surroundings.
Although something was keeping the flames contained, Peter Parker was still drenched in sweat. It was clear whether the Planetary Thruster was real or not.
Only after seeing Peter Parker's astonished, sweat-drenched face did Han Yu turn off the Planetary Thruster. He said, "That was only one percent of its power. When I normally forge things, I start at forty percent."
"This thing of yours... it's terrifying."
Peter Parker touched his forehead and realized that sweat was pouring off him. Han Yu, on the other hand, was still cool and dry, without a drop of sweat.
"Han, what exactly do you sell here? I always thought this was just an ordinary general store. You're not some kind of dealer in stolen high-tech goods, are you? You can't go making a mistake like that. If the Avengers find out what you're doing, you'll definitely get arrested."
Peter Parker's anxious expression left Han Yu caught between laughter and tears.
"If you call me a high-tech dealer, you're not wrong. But I didn't steal any of it. These things are all mine."
"What you just said moved me, so I'm going to make you a suit. You can't go out saving people in your pajamas, can you?"
Peter Parker blushed a little, but hearing that Han Yu was going to make him a suit left him more excited than anything. "A suit? Really? It won't be too expensive, will it? I can't afford it if it costs too much."
"Haha, it's free!"
With that, Han Yu took a measuring tape and measured Peter Parker's height and waist before starting to cut the fabric.
"Oh, right! I've got some ideas for the suit too!"
Peter Parker took off the backpack he had been wearing and pulled out a booklet, which he handed to Han Yu.
Han Yu opened it and found several suit designs inside. He let out a soft exclamation. Though the designs were still rough and simple, they already bore the beginnings of the spider suit he remembered.
Seeing Han Yu studying the sketches he had drawn so seriously, Peter Parker grew a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "I just wanted to show you. You can still make it however you want. I'm fine with anything."
Han Yu smiled. "It's all right. I think your ideas are great. I'm going to use your design."
There was no better feeling than having someone approve of his work. Peter Parker grinned happily, and as he watched Han Yu work on the fabric, he gradually joined in.
It had to be said that Peter Parker really was very smart. He didn't slow Han Yu down; on the contrary, his help made the suit come together faster.
Peter Parker said, "For the web shooters, if they're on my palms, I can press them with my middle and ring fingers. That'll also make it easier for me to grab hold."
Han Yu smiled. "All right, we'll do it your way."
While Peter Parker was occupied with designing the suit, Han Yu tapped the air a few times, took out a palm-sized scroll, and gently pressed it against the spider suit. The scroll merged into the suit.
Han Yu repeated the same action three times.
These three single-use Shinra Tensei scrolls can serve as life-saving charms for Parker. Three brushes with death should be enough to help him grow.
Because the items had been used for a system quest, the three single-use Shinra Tensei scrolls weren't charged to Han Yu's account.
He didn't tell Peter Parker about the Shinra Tensei that could save his life because he didn't want Peter Parker to feel as though he had something to fall back on. That feeling would make it harder for him to grow.
A young eagle could not spread its wings and soar in a greenhouse.
At one point, Wanda came downstairs to take a look. Seeing Han Yu bustling about with a teenager, though she didn't know what they were doing, she left them undisturbed.
She simply went upstairs quietly, cut up some fruit, and slipped it into the room before going back upstairs.
Peter Parker was too absorbed to notice, but Han Yu saw her. Seeing how considerate Wanda was, he couldn't help showing a faint smile.
Time flew by. It was dusk, and the sun was setting by the time the two of them finished the spider suit.
Han Yu had taken the lead at first, but Peter Parker grew more enthusiastic as they worked, and most of the ideas for the suit came from him. Even so, the finished product was very good, not much different from the spider suit in Han Yu's memory.
The suit was made primarily of red and blue fabric. The feet, hands, chest, and mask were all red, while the sides of the waist and the thighs were blue. A black spider emblem sat on the chest.
For Han Yu, this suit brought back so many memories. It could be called his youth—the most classic Spider-Man suit!
