#94 - New equipment and elephants?

“I feel like it can't get any worse than the environment I live in.” Shadow Spider poured himself another drink.

“In my universe, the kids are really living in constant danger. All kinds of scum emerge endlessly, like a wind that never stops, blowing through the streets and alleys, sweeping them away in the blink of an eye.”

“Hold on!” Spider-Ham stood up, raising both hands. “We're not acting in some crime movie here.”

“You should talk to Mary Jane about it.” Yang Le placed his cup on the table. “Does Mary Jane know about your worries?”

“She doesn't know.” 616 Peter covered his face. “She's already under a lot of pressure, I don't want to add to her troubles.”

“Then you should tell her even more.” A voice sounded from behind 616 Peter, younger and more lively than he remembered.

616 Peter jumped up from the sofa like a startled cat, scrambling onto the ceiling.

“Saying nothing only makes the people who love you worry more.” Mary Jane stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at 616 Peter on the ceiling with raised eyebrows.

“Can you imagine, your partner comes home and says nothing, looking worried but telling you nothing's wrong, leaving you with a back bent under the weight of it all.”

“That's really scary.” Yang Le nodded in agreement.

“Scarier than the mob.” Shadow Spider agreed.

“I'm sorry.” 616 Peter was subdued, his head almost buried in the ceiling.

“You're happy, Peter.” Aunt May walked over, looking at 616 Peter with kind eyes.

“She loves you very much, she wanted to have a child for you, she thought it would cheer you up, but unfortunately you were scared away by the pressure in your heart.”

“I'm sorry, Aunt May.” 616 Peter came down from the ceiling, but kept his head down, not daring to look Aunt May in the eyes.

“It's okay, child.” Aunt May reached out and touched 616 Peter's cheek.

“You can start over, can't you? It's not too late, go get her back, the Parkers can't be defeated.”

“Can I come see you again?” 616 Peter grasped Aunt May's hand, the despair in his eyes gradually fading, looking at Aunt May with hope.

“Whenever you want, I'm happy to add another plate.” Aunt May smiled warmly. “Of course, adding a few more would be even better.”

“Then I really need to work hard.” 616 Peter smiled in relief. “Starting with finding a new job.”

“For the children!” Yang Le raised his drink, looking at Gwen, who only responded with a cute eye roll.

————Separation Line————

The party ended successfully. 616 Peter cheered up again. Encouraged by the two most important women in his life, the unbeatable Spider-Man stood up once more.

“So what kind of job would be better to find?” 616 Peter seemed a little excited, just like a recent graduate.

Shadow Spider: “Private detective? It's relatively free.”

Spider-Ham: “Cartoon show actor? Can lay the foundation for the future.”

Gwen: “Rock star? Very cool.”

Peni: “Mecha pilot? Can protect world peace.”

“Let's not talk about the first three, what's with the last one?” 616 Peter covered his forehead.

“Sorry.” Peni stuck out her tongue.

“Sigh～” 616 Peter sighed, suddenly hearing a whooshing sound behind him. He turned around and reached out, catching the flying object in his hand with a snap. He took a closer look and found it was a camera.

“How about a reporter?”

616 Peter looked up and saw Yang Le looking at him with a bag in his hand. Obviously, this camera was thrown by Yang Le.

“I was wondering why I haven't seen you for so long, so you went to buy a camera.” Peter fiddled with the camera in his hand, but didn't see the label.

“To be precise, I made a camera.” Yang Le said with a smile.

“You made this camera? In such a short time?”

Looking at the exquisite camera in his hand, 616 Peter couldn't believe it.

“More than that.” Yang Le took out two more things from the bag: a pistol and a hammer.

“Is it Christmas today?” Spider-Ham drooled looking at the hammer in Yang Le's hand. “Are you Santa Claus?”

“Obviously, I'm not.” Yang Le threw the hammer to Spider-Ham. It was a cartoon-style air hammer, perfectly matching Spider-Ham's style.

“Oh, now I understand, out with the old, in with the new.” Spider-Ham took the air hammer and kissed it, then waved it around and nodded with satisfaction.

“Be careful, although it looks like an air hammer, its power should not be underestimated.”

Yang Le reminded him, then handed the gun in his hand to Shadow Spider.

Silver gun body, black handle, simple and unpretentious combination, but it attracted Shadow Spider's attention.

Without saying anything, Shadow Spider took the pistol and played with it, performing various fancy tricks with ease.

“It's a good gun.” Shadow Spider nodded with satisfaction, touching the spider logo on the gun handle.

The latest novels are first published at Six 9 Books Bar!

“I knew you'd like it.”

Yang Le drew inspiration for this gun from a game in his universe, Cyberpunk 2077, a gun called Malorian 3516, whose owner, like Shadow Spider, was also a rebel.

“This gun is called Spider-90214, you can use your own bullets, and there are some special functions, I've written them all in the manual.”

Yang Le handed a piece of paper to Shadow Spider. 90214 is actually Shadow Spider's universe number. This is a little thought of Yang Le, but no one understands it.

“Thank you, I will take good care of her.” Shadow Spider folded the manual and put it in his jacket pocket, carefully putting away the pistol.

“I suddenly feel like my gift isn't very cool.” 616 Peter looked enviously at Shadow Spider. Suddenly, the camera in his hand began to shake, deform, and finally turned into a spider, breaking free from his control.

“What?!”

616 Peter stared blankly at the runaway camera.

“You made him unhappy.” Yang Le shrugged, reminding him.

“Hurry up and chase him, he'll disappear in a moment.”

“Oh? Oh!”

616 Peter woke up from his dream and chased after the runaway camera.

“Hey! Wait a minute! I wasn't saying you were bad!”

“Now he can practice how to win back a girl in advance.” Gwen smiled and walked to Yang Le's side.

“Why don't you ask me if I've prepared a gift for you?” Yang Le looked at Gwen curiously.

“Why should I ask?” Gwen looked indifferent, then grabbed Yang Le's collar with lightning speed, pulling him in front of her.

The distance between the two shortened in an instant, and Yang Le could even see Gwen's eyelashes.

“Isn't your whole person mine?”

Honestly, at this moment, Yang Le felt like he had been shot, and shot in the heart.

“Guys, you should come and see this!”

616 Peter's voice came from outside.

“There's a door outside! It's very similar to the one that brought us here!”

‘Very similar to a portal?’ Yang Le frowned?

Could it be Elephant is here?
