Seven-year-old Peter Parker was still such a tiny little thing.

May, wearing a long dress, opened the door, and Li Wei did not even see Peter.

It was only when he looked down that he noticed a little runt standing at the door.

"Peter, why are you here?"

The moment she saw him, May's face broke into a smile. Sure enough, women looked best when they smiled.

However, Peter Parker did not look at her. Instead, he looked at Li Wei beside her. "May, did you finally bring a boyfriend home!?"

"I've been waiting forever for someone to keep you in line!"

"..."

May's expression immediately changed, and she glanced awkwardly at Li Wei.

Peter Parker was still chattering away. "Sir, Aunt May might be kind of strange, but she's very charming..."

"Peter!"

May immediately gave him a smack, then pulled out the pizza box. "Look what I brought you."

"Wow! Pizza!"

Peter Parker's attention was indeed immediately diverted. He grabbed the pizza and ran inside.

"Come in."

Only then did May awkwardly say to Li Wei, "He's just a little naughty."

"He's pretty cute."

Li Wei could only go along with it.

As expected of Peter Parker—he had been a chatterbox since childhood.

May went inside and stood by the door, inviting Li Wei in. Once he entered, she closed the door behind him.

"Just a moment."

Seeing the mess in the room, she immediately started tidying up, then took some clothes into the bedroom.

When she came back out, she had changed into cooler loungewear.

An orange camisole and a pair of tight jeans.

Li Wei's gaze was immediately drawn to her. Her figure was actually this good.

It was only after Eve started wearing them that Li Wei realized how flattering jeans could be.

Eve also liked wearing tight-fitting clothes, and she would even "modify" them herself.

"Peter, go wash your hands."

May immediately knocked Peter Parker on the head.

"May, if you keep hitting me, I'll turn stupid."

Peter Parker said this while clutching his head.

But he was already stupid to begin with...

After that, May hurriedly invited Li Wei to sit down, then went to get something to drink.

Though busy, she remained organized, the very picture of a homemaker.

"There's no alcohol at home. Neither of us drinks."

"I don't like drinking either."

Li Wei immediately said with a smile.

Whenever he drank wine, he only had a little because he was afraid of feeling awful if he drank too much.

So May poured them apple juice.

Peter Parker washed his hands and ate pizza while his eyes kept shifting between the two of them.

He spoke up. "Sir..."

"Just call me Li Wei."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Li Wei... I know you!"

After thinking for a moment, Peter Parker suddenly said excitedly, "You're the one who's always trading insults with Tony Stark!"

"..."

Li Wei thought, Has my reputation gotten that big already?

He could only nod awkwardly.

"No wonder you managed to pursue Aunt May. She likes young, handsome guys."

Peter Parker said like a machine gun.

"Peter!"

May immediately shouted. What kind of woman was he making her sound like?

"Li Wei and I are just friends."

"Friends can take things a step further..."

Before Peter could finish, May smacked him again.

"Finish eating and go do your homework."

She looked at Li Wei apologetically. "Don't take it to heart."

"I think Peter is very interesting."

Li Wei did not mind.

Besides, with Peter Parker forcefully playing matchmaker, his relationship with May had improved as well.

Still, he did not stay long. After eating, he prepared to leave.

Seeing that he was about to go, Peter Parker immediately said, "Uncle Li Wei, come play again when you have time. May will be very happy."

"Peter!"

May blushed at his words.

"Just tell me, aren't you happy?"

Peter Parker asked.

That left May embarrassed.

Fortunately, Li Wei said goodbye and left directly.

After Li Wei went downstairs, Peter Parker was still talking to May. "May, Uncle Li Wei is a great choice. Why don't you just go for it?"

"Peter! What does a kid like you know?"

"If you don't like him, why are you blushing?"

Peter said stubbornly.

Then, as expected, he got beaten up.

After leaving Queens, Li Wei sat in the back seat, half reclining on Eve's lap.

Eve massaged his temples while Li Wei focused on playing with his phone.

The news was now basically all about rescuing Tony Stark, making Li Wei intensely jealous.

He should have known better and gotten himself kidnapped...

But that would have been too dangerous.

So Li Wei was better off riding the wave of attention.

Besides, this was not even shameless clout-chasing. He and Tony Stark had plenty of history between them!

So he directly tagged the military, saying that he could provide new technology free of charge to help search for Tony Stark.

Whether the military agreed or refused, Li Wei would gain Reputation Points!

And sure enough, by the time Li Wei returned home, the military had already rejected him.

After all, Future Technology Company was not one of the military's partners. Why would they use his equipment?

If they used it and found Tony Stark, it would be equivalent to giving Future Technology Company free advertising.

And if they failed to find him, Future Technology Company would not lose anything either.

It was a no-win situation for the military.

But Li Wei was not in a hurry. The longer this dragged on, the worse it would become for the military.

Eventually, they would be begging him for help.

He took a shower and practiced his telepathy for a while.

Superpowers only grew stronger through training, just like how Superman did not know he could fly at first.

Of course, Li Wei was not talking about that Superman who got utterly screwed over.

Did James Gunn have what it took to make Superman?

No, he did not!

All he would do was bring his trashy nonsense into Superman and ruin everything.

To put it bluntly, the new Superman was James Gunn's X fantasy—for example, Superman's bizarre pose while saving the little girl, and Superman's parents, Jor-El, telling Superman to build a "harem" on Earth.

If that was what people called "sunshine," then even Homelander would count as normal.

After practicing his telepathy for a while, Li Wei felt mentally exhausted.

So he returned to his room and began a new-version ten-pull.

It had only cost one million before, but now it cost ten million.

Fortunately, Tony Stark was keeping the hype alive with his own body. Otherwise, Li Wei could not even afford to pull.

Who said Tony was not a good person?

Tears in his eyes!

[Congratulations to the host on completing a ten-pull. The following rewards have been obtained.]

Ten million Reputation Points vanished in an instant, and Li Wei was immediately poor again.

[Kyber Crystal ×3: These crystals possess energy-conduction and Force-sensitivity properties, making them the core component of Lightsabers.]

But I don't even have a Lightsaber!

Li Wei complained, only for the system to immediately give him one.

[Darksaber: A special Lightsaber forged by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian to join the Jedi Order.]

Mandalorians were the most formidable mercenary clan in the Star Wars universe. Every one of them wore armor wrapped so tightly that not even a crack was exposed.

Not bad. Li Wei really did feel that the drop rate had gone up.

[Super Battery: A new-technology battery capable of supplying energy to an entire city.] [Griffin Combat Drone: A drone from Militech, known for its low cost, high obedience, and durability.] [CPH4 ×3: Upon use, it can activate the potential of the human brain, increasing brain development to a maximum of 100%.]

If he had to buy this thing, it would be incredibly expensive.

But Li Wei did not dwell on it, because the guaranteed grand prize was coming last.
