Metal Gear Acquired (Fourth Update)

Guan Heng spread his hands: "In fact, it's precisely because of my unrestrained behavior that you can see Peter Parker's benefits. This is actually my method of sacrificing my image to let my Iron Buddy get praised. What great male friendship this is, how could a lonely person like you, who has no friends, understand?"

Peter couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle. Fury simply turned his head away, refusing to look at Guan Heng. He took out a document and had Peter sign it, completing the formalities for his official induction into S.H.I.E.L.D.

Watching Peter sign, Guan Heng couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Another good youth has been pulled into the water by Fury."

Seeing his good friend leave with a smile, Guan Heng asked Fury, "Then what else do you need me for?"

Fury impatiently tossed a file bag to Guan Heng: "Memorize the contents of this document. That's your new identity. Starting tomorrow, you're going undercover."

"Undercover? I don't want to take on such a difficult mission. Speaking of which, where am I going undercover?" Guan Heng said, yet he still pulled out the document and began to read.

"To the same school as Peter Parker, and you'll be his classmate," Fury said.

"Why is that again? I don't want to go to school, I won't have time to chase girls then," Guan Heng grumbled.

"There are countless youthful and beautiful girls in the school, all waiting for you to pursue. If you can, bring back a whole company of them," Fury said impatiently. He explained, "Peter has just joined and still needs various ability assessments. You're the same age as him and his friend. I'm asking you to be his S.O. supervisor."

"Why am I also a rookie? Isn't this S.O. supervision work usually handled by veteran agents?" Guan Heng was very confused.

"Because if a rookie agent gets into trouble, his supervisor is also responsible," Fury's single eye flickered, and he smiled slightly. "To be honest, I want to tie both of you together like grasshoppers on a string. If one gets into trouble, the other can't escape either. So, you two good friends, even for each other's sake, will behave yourselves." "You really see human nature too clearly. No wonder you're a lonely person," Guan Heng cursed inwardly, but his mouth didn't stop talking.

"Alright, I just want to remind you, if there's a mishap, you'll both be punished together," Fury said with a sinister smile. He then added, "You have another mission on this assignment. We've investigated and found that the Green Goblin who caused chaos at the Carnival has a close relationship with a certain student at Peter's school. I want you to investigate the Green Goblin's background and whereabouts, and report to me regularly."

"Actually, I already know who it is – it's Harry's dad, Norman Osborn," Guan Heng thought to himself. "I won't tell him and make him anxious. Let him rush." He replied verbally, "Okay, Director, I will definitely comply."

Thus, Guan Heng memorized all the information. His name remained unchanged. With a brand-new identity, he entered Peter's school and became his classmate. He also changed his residence and became Peter's neighbor again.

Peter was the happiest about this outcome. He would get to spend time with his good friend again. That day, the two bought some food and drinks and celebrated at Guan Heng's new place.

And so, Guan Heng began his campus life.

One sunny morning, Guan Heng was still sound asleep in bed when suddenly the sunlight from the window darkened, abruptly blocked by a figure.

"Hey, lazybones! Time to get up for school. If you don't hurry, you'll be late!" It was Peter, squatting by the window.

"Let me sleep a little longer," Guan Heng mumbled, covering his head haphazardly with pillows and blankets. "Otherwise, I can skip class too."

"That won't do! Since we're going to school, we need to maintain attendance. Be a good student!" Peter persistently persuaded his friend. "Otherwise, I'll tie you to the school with my webs!"

As he spoke, he shook the paper bag in his hand: "Look, I have Aunt Mei's homemade sandwiches here. I'll share half with you."

Guan Heng reluctantly sat up: "Oh my god, returning to campus is no different from going to jail."

When they reached the school gate, as the two walked in, they ran into Harry Osborn. The other party laughed, "Haha, you two good buddies are sticking together again. It's truly enviable."

Peter's face turned red: "Harry, what nonsense are you talking about? Guan Heng and I are just good friends, good brothers."

"Mmm, I know, the kind of good brothers, right?" Harry said, drawing out the last word with a strange tone, winking and nodding.

Guan Heng smiled faintly, his figure flickered, and he suddenly appeared beside Harry, blowing gently into his ear: "You little devil, jealous? Actually, my heart belongs only to you."

"Oh my god!" Harry jumped back in fright, nearly falling onto the lawn behind him.

"Little brat, you want to tease my brother? Let me scare you first!" Guan Heng put his hands on his hips and laughed arrogantly.

Harry clutched his chest, as if still shaken, and said with lingering fear: "Even though I knew you were joking, I almost peed my pants from fright."

Guan Heng thought to himself: This is me giving you a preemptive strike against shock. If you saw your dad's true face, you might have actually peed yourself.

He then thought, Harry isn't a bad person, he doesn't have that rich second-generation air. He just got saddled with a perverted dad and ended up on the path of a villainous second-generation.

As for capturing and investigating the Green Goblin, I'll drag my feet as much as possible. Guan Heng secretly calculated: Unless he comes out to cause trouble himself, I won't provoke him. I'll enjoy a few days of easy living first. Days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

The Green Goblin hadn't caused any trouble. Besides reporting to Fury periodically as a formality, Guan Heng had no other extra missions, so he was quite happy to have a relaxed time.

In addition, Guan Heng's Adamantium three-piece equipment set was finally ready for pickup.

The sword sheath was tied to his back, and the Chengying Sword, wrapped in its stone scabbard, was inserted snugly. The belt could be fastened around his waist, and the Corpse Storage Bag was placed in the storage compartment behind the round buckle. The fingerless gloves and six small throwing knives were all in the inner layers. Most importantly, the belt was light and moderately thick, and it didn't look bulky at all when covered by clothes.

Guan Heng was so happy he could have grinned from ear to ear upon receiving these three pieces of equipment.

In the evening, after school, on the rooftop of a super skyscraper in New York City, Guan Heng and Spider-Man were sparring intensely.

Guan Heng had now taught Peter all his fighting techniques, teaching him how to fully utilize his agility to quickly defeat enemies.

"Yes, yes, just like that. Punch hard, accurately, and steadily," Guan Heng said as he dodged a punch from the other party.

As for himself, he was using Spider-Man's speed to train his perception and application of Qi. By sensing where Spider-Man was when he teleported, Guan Heng could intercept opponents who were faster than him.

In addition, Guan Heng was also training himself to injure people with his Qi punches, also known as "void-splitting punches." He had already reached a level where he could knock Spider-Man to the ground with a punch from several meters away. This could be considered rapid progress.

Now, as long as Guan Heng closed his eyes and slightly felt the flow of Qi, he could accurately pinpoint Spider-Man's location. He could knock him down with a punch at any time if he wished.

"I can't do this anymore," Peter said, flipping backward in mid-air and landing on the wall. "You're a freak, you're too strong. I thought I could close the gap with you after getting superpowers, but I didn't expect to still be so far behind. It's really demoralizing."

"I just got my superpowers a few days earlier than you, and I practice diligently every day," Guan Heng said with a slight smile. "It's nothing special. You can reach my level if you work hard too."
