American Comics: The Next-Door Neighbor is Spider-Gwen

"What happy thing? Is it what you're drawing?"

Skye propped herself up on one elbow, lifting her upper body, her slender neck craning to peek at the drawing in his hand.

On the paper was a graceful figure, chased by tiny lightning bolts falling from the sky, looking utterly panicked and fleeing without direction.

She sighed with feeling, "Li, you heard thunder and got such a unique inspiration?"

"It's not about inspiration, just doodling."

Ye Li flipped the page and started sketching something new on a fresh sheet of white paper.

With his superb skill, a beautiful girl quickly appeared on the page.

The girl lay on the bed, propping herself up on one arm, making a curious craning gesture.

She looked cute yet sexy.

Why sexy?

Because what he drew... was nude.

Skye's eyes widened—wasn't that her?

"Li!"

She immediately reached to snatch the drawing away—truly, when an artist gets lewd, no one else stands a chance!

"No lewding! o(≧口≦)o"

Ye Li moved the drawing board away with a mischievous grin, "Don't rush, Skye. When I draw beautiful women, I always start like this. Clothes are coming right up."

Of course, he didn't have to draw that way first; he was just teasing Skye on purpose.

As the two tussled on the bed, Ye Li added a few strokes and dressed Skye, "Alright, alright, stop biting me. I've finished your drawing."

Skye glanced at the image and said angrily, "Don't show this to anyone, especially guys!"

Even though Ye Li had added clothes, it still felt weird, and she sternly warned him not to show it to others.

"How could I?"

Ye Li tore off the page and handed it to her, "If you're worried, it's yours to handle~ Tear it up or burn it, whatever you like."

"Hmph~ Who'd want to tear it up."

Skye gave a light snort and carefully put it away—a drawing Li made for her; she'd frame and preserve it properly when she got back~

"How's your progress?"

Ye Li also glanced at Skye's computer screen, "Whoa~ You've already hacked in."

He reached out and tapped a few keys on the keyboard, "Military? You've got some nerve."

Skye looked puzzled. "How are you so skilled at this?"

Ye Li casually browsed a bit and actually found something, like the database codenamed "Hulk."

Banner was now being chased by General Ross into a Brazilian slum, making him and Stark brothers in misfortune.

"Li, this place of yours is really nice~"

Skye stretched lazily, gazing out the window at the clearing sky after rain, "Why not set up a branch like this for the club too.

Maybe then Ghost-Spider will come to us~

After all, high floors are more convenient for her, right."

Little sister, that costs money...

Ye Li had plenty of money, but not an endless supply.

Maybe it was time to think of a method for a steady, massive income.

But he didn't want to spend too much effort on it.

So the best option was something that didn't require much trouble from him, with money just rolling in endlessly.

Too bad Norman Osborn, transformed into a summon, was dull and only had combat instincts; otherwise, he could have fleeced some wool from Osborn Corporation.

Ding~

Jessica sent a message at that moment: [Brother! I got in touch with Ghost-Spider! She agreed to meet with someone from our club! I'm entrusting this important task to you, the vice president! Be prepared, and it's best to have a gift ready!]

A bunch of exclamation marks...

Ye Li wondered if he'd spoiled her too much, with all that boundless energy. What kind of trouble was she stirring up now?

Gwen is going to meet me as Ghost-Spider?

Chapter 25: Sudden Insight! Heading to the Afghan Desert!

Hmm... I really do need to prepare some gifts.

Ye Li checked some random rewards he'd farmed earlier in Hell's Kitchen.

[Master Ball][No matter what Pokémon it is, it can be caught!]

[Lightsaber][May the Force be with you.]

[Elder Wand][Avada Kedavra!]

[Fire Kirin AK-47][Rat-a-tat-tat~]

[Modified Golden Light Spell][Mortal fools...]

[Tifa's Photo][Jerusalem, the eternal god!]

"..."

Ye Li hesitated.

Master Ball? Catch what with it... no.

Lightsaber? What if he grabbed it wrong? Too dangerous... no.

Elder Wand? Gwen didn't know magic... no.

Fire Kirin... forget it.

Modified Golden Light Spell was good—Gwen was good at Chinese, she could learn it. Consider it.

Tifa's Photo, ah... that didn't count.

After thinking for a while, only one [Modified Golden Light Spell] was suitable.

But this [Modified Golden Light Spell], Ye Li planned to teach it to Jessica Jones and the others too. He'd need to add something else.

Maybe he could help improve her Web-Shooters.

Ye Li had the relevant tech knowledge to develop Web-Shooters, but he lacked a development lab or something.

Right...

Stark was still kidnapped in Afghanistan and hadn't returned yet.

If he fished him out, forget Web-Shooters—he might even be able to get two sets of high-tech battle suits for Gwen and the others.

Mm... and while he was at it, he could use Stark Industries stock to rake in some cash. Perfect!

Besides, that guy Tony—Ye Li wasn't close with him, but they had some acquaintance. Saving him on a whim was no big deal.

Ye Li felt everything click into place. He grabbed Skye's notebook and searched the military's intel database.

Sure enough, Rhodey was already searching for his best buddy. Some terrorist strongholds in certain areas had already been cleared.

He just needed to search the remaining zones, and he could rescue Stark.

And so.

Over the next two days.

In the desert regions of the Middle East, news often spread of terrorist gathering spots suffering divine punishment.

Sometimes it was sandstorms, sometimes it was thunder from a clear sky.

It rattled the terrorists, and their organizations nearly fell apart.

Originally, Ye Li couldn't be bothered with these terrorists, but whenever he went in to look for someone, he was greeted with bullets and cannons.

He had no choice but to grant their wishes and send them to meet their god.

At this moment.

Flying through the air, Ye Li spotted a settlement in the distance on the desert.

It didn't look like a terrorist stronghold—more like an ordinary small civilian village.

He only had one more area left to search, so he might as well go down and ask.

Whoosh—!

A boy scraping the ground for water suddenly saw a pitch-black figure land not far from him.

He yelped, then asked Ye Li fearfully, "...Are you a god?"
