My Neighbor, Spider-Gwen

So he decided to put aside the salted fish plan for now, and would find an opportunity to show that underground king who's boss.

After all, they hadn't even met face to face, so he didn't feel that strongly about the feud.

"Oh, big brother, you're following this news too."

Jessica, carrying a small black shoulder bag, leaned over to Ye Li's computer. "This Black Spider that popped up a few days ago, his look is very similar to Ghost-Spider, I suspect they're a couple or something."

Ye Li was helpless.

He clearly said he was Spider-Man, how did he become Black Spider in the media's mouth?

He wasn't that little Black Spider, Miles.

Jessica was still chattering in his ear, "But he's very mysterious, that supervillain Vulture who almost crushed us that day disappeared inexplicably, some people say he was killed by Black Spider."

"Gwen said her dad has a lot of opinions about this, believing that criminals should be handed over to the police, and no one else has the right..."

"Jessica, you're going to be late for school if you don't leave now, you don't want your first day of school to be like this, do you?"

Ye Li raised the black ring on his wrist, which displayed the time.

"Okay, your new watch is very nice."

Jessica tilted her head and pecked him lightly on the cheek, leaving with a smile.

"Then I'll go first, remember the party tonight! Gwen will be there too~"

"Don't worry, I'll be there for sure!"

Ye Li waved goodbye to her.

After seeing Jessica off, he scanned the news of the past few days again.

"Stark hasn't even become Iron Man yet, there are so few supervillains these days."

He couldn't find Gwen or Jessica's destined enemies.

Disappointed, Ye Li closed the screen, deciding to give up on the plan to grind monsters.

Instead of working himself to death fighting supervillains for rewards, finding future superheroes to build relationships with, cadging a simple task, and then loading some template, wouldn't it be wonderful to honestly be a well-connected guy?

That's right, he was just that lazy.

Maybe he was just used to slacking off for the past few years.

Midtown High.

"Gwen, why do I feel like you're in a bad mood?"

"Am I?"

Gwen took out a small mirror and smiled at it. "I'm normal, not frowning."

"It's your appetite! Your appetite has been so big lately, it's almost as big as mine, I heard that people binge eat when they're in a bad mood."

Jessica earnestly reminded her, "Don't eat too much at the party tonight, or you'll lose your figure and won't look good."

"..."

Gwen was very innocent, fighting crime was hard work, what's wrong with eating more?

Chapter 7 Bruce Banner! Jessica's idea!

But she couldn't say it.

Thinking about something that had been bothering her recently, Gwen said, "Jessica, you've seen the Black Spider reports, right? Because of Black Spider, Dad doesn't like Ghost-Spider very much either."

"What does that have to do with you?"

Jessica put her arm around Gwen's shoulder and teased, "Don't tell me you're also a fan of Ghost-Spider?"

"A fan?... Ah, I guess so."

Gwen said reluctantly.

Being a fan of herself... was too embarrassing.

Gwen is also a fan of Ghost-Spider – Jessica came up with an idea.

She started typing a message to her brother on her phone.

On the other side.

Manhattan Fifth Avenue.

In a luxuriously decorated high-end studio.

"Dr. Banner, it's not a short trip for me to come to the studio from home."

Looking at the man visiting him, Ye Li pretended to be calm and said, "I usually only come once or twice a week, so I hope you're not kidding me, you really want to learn to paint from me?"

That's right, the man sitting in front of him was Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk.

Although he was confident that he could spar with the Hulk before he was strengthened to a certain extent, he was also afraid that the green guy would come out and tear down the studio.

That was also why he chose to meet at his nominal workplace after receiving the message, rather than at home.

If it weren't for the system, Ye Li wouldn't have wanted to meet this doctor at all.

To be honest, he was already regretting it a bit.

The Hulk template was powerful, but it was a blight on the cityscape.

It wasn't just the constant clothes-ripping, but also the fact that he was completely green...

And becoming familiar with Banner, being defined by the system as Banner's "extraordinary acquaintance," wasn't something that would happen overnight.

Without this prerequisite identity, he naturally couldn't trigger Banner's missions.

"Yes, Mr. Ye Li."

Banner looked a bit dejected. "I've heard that the art of painting can calm people down. I want to give it a try."

"If you're emotionally unstable, I think you should see a doctor."

Ye Li was noncommittal. "Painting can indeed cleanse the soul sometimes."

"But it can also make you more and more frustrated."

"Like Vincent Willem van Gogh, for example. Everyone knows that."

"Dr. Banner, do you need me to give you other examples?"

Banner nodded.

"I know it might not work."

"But I've tried so many methods to control my emotions. There's no harm in trying this one too."

You have no loss, but I might!

Ye Li was about to say something when his phone beeped.

Only Jessica and the others had message alerts set up, so he casually picked it up and glanced at it.

It was a message from Jessica:

[Li, I want to start a Ghost-Spider fan club!]

[Don't you like Ghost-Spider too? Can you help me draw a Ghost-Spider poster?]

[I'm planning to announce it at the party tonight.]

[Hehe~ Gwen is also a Ghost-Spider fan. I'm going to give her a big surprise.]

She'll probably be scared out of her mind...

Ye Li couldn't help but admire Jessica's many crazy ideas.

Gwen was a Ghost-Spider fan? Heh, that's interesting.

He turned to the computer next to him with interest.

To create a large poster by tonight, he couldn't do it by hand; he'd have to use software.

"Banner, I agree."

Ye Li said as he operated the computer, "You can be my assistant for a while, until you feel like it's not working."

Banner smiled. "Thank you, Ye."

No need to thank me.

Free labor, might as well use it.

The scene shifts back to Midtown High.

Gwen and the others had already started class.

The person lecturing on the platform was a middle-aged man with one arm, named Curtis Connors.

His level as a biology professor gave him unique insights into certain knowledge points, and he lectured with ease in the classroom.

Gwen listened attentively. During her internship at Osborn Corporation over the summer, she had studied under Dr. Connors.
