Chapter 9 Gwen's Past
"It was Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei who said it."
Gwen explained with a smile, "George and they are good friends, and they talk about you sometimes."
George Stacy, Gwen's father.
He is also the chief superintendent of police for all areas of New York.
Mark pondered the information about George that flashed through his mind.
Gwen, however, had a strange look in her eyes. She looked Mark up and down, and tentatively began to speak:
"Peter, Mark needs to go out for a walk because of his illness. Let's take him to the school."
As she spoke, she didn't look at Peter, but stared intently at Mark.
"What do you think?" she asked.
Mark thought for a moment, "Alright, Imperial University, right? I'd like to go see it too, but I want to sit in the passenger seat."
"no problem."
Gwen smiled and agreed.
Peter Parker: "????"
It's as if they're asking for my consent.
But it seems like it doesn't.
"Wait, Mark can't just go out like that." He tried to stop him.
Mark waved his hand and said, "No problem. I'll tell you a secret: actually, I'm not sick at all."
Peter Parker: "......."
He even said he wasn't sick!
Peter was once again invited by Gwen, and he was not good at refusing.
So he reluctantly agreed and squeezed into the cramped back seat.
With him watching over Mark at all times, he should be fine.
"Boom~~"
The sports car roared as Peter was buffeted by the fierce wind.
In less than twenty minutes, the sports car drove into the school in a high-profile manner.
After getting off the bus, Peter Parker had transformed into a Super Saiyan, his hair standing on end.
Mark leisurely got out of the car, then looked at Gwen with a serious expression.
"I have a question."
"Go ahead and ask."
"How did you earn the money to buy a sports car?"
"I developed a biomaterial last year and applied for a patent."
Gwen's answer disappointed Mark somewhat.
He simply can't learn it.
"Hey Peter, my friend, you seem to be in a good mood today."
Suddenly, the tall and imposing Jenny greeted Peter while holding a basketball, and then slammed the basketball hard into Peter's face.
He doesn't allow Peter to have beautiful women and sports cars around him.
This would make him feel very uncomfortable.
"No, don't do that."
Gwen tried to stop him, but Mark was faster.
He blocked Peter's path in the blink of an eye.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the basketball exploded between Mark's fingers.
Jenny was clearly startled.
"you......"
"Here you go."
Mark casually tossed the deflated basketball, which slammed into Jenny's face with tremendous force.
"Oh shit!!"
Jenny, who had been hit by a deflated basketball, clutched his nose in pain, blood streaming down his face.
"Damn it, my nose..."
A sharp pain shot through him, and he dared not look at Mark, but instead glared fiercely at the stunned Peter.
"Peter Parker, I'll remember you."
Surrounded by his classmates, Jenny slunk away in embarrassment.
He usually likes to bully Peter because Peter is easy to bully.
He knew very well that if he were the one being bullied, his first instinct would be to stay away from people.
Because it would be very embarrassing to stay here.
He has extensive experience in this area.
After Jenny left, the crowd dispersed.
As for Peter, he seemed dazed.
This scene seemed to bring him back to his past.
Mark has always protected him like this since he was a child.
so.......
He made up his mind in secret.
Mark clapped his hands, ignoring Peter's distraction.
He looked at Peter and said, "Take me to him later, and I'll beat him up a few more times. Next time he sees you, he'll run away."
Gwen: "!!!!"
Meticulous thinking and clear logic.
This guy is definitely not sick!
"By the way, Peter."
She suddenly remembered something.
"Professor Kurt has been looking for you these past few days. Do you want to go to his lab?" She looked at Peter.
"Kurt Connors..."
Peter's expression was slightly off.
He wanted to refuse, but he felt it was necessary to have a proper talk with the other party.
"Okay, I'll be there. Please take care of Mark for me, thank you."
After saying that, he walked towards the laboratory building.
Only Mark and Gwen remained at the scene.
The two unconsciously took a walk, remaining silent for a moment.
Before long, the two unknowingly arrived at the park lake.
There are many female students sunbathing on the grass.
Mark spotted the prettiest female classmate at a glance.
Sunlight shone on her, radiating youth and beauty.
Okay, the most beautiful female classmate is actually Gwen.
Seemingly noticing that Mark was spying on her, Gwen lowered her head and thought for a moment.
She broke the silence by speaking.
"Three years ago... thank you," she whispered.
"What?" Mark didn't hear clearly.
Gwen mustered her courage and looked at Mark.
"Thank you for saving me three years ago."
"I?"
Mark scratched his head. "I can't remember."
Gwen was disappointed.
It turns out he had never paid any attention to me.
No, he's just sick.
It must be like this.
Thinking about this made her feel a little better.
She turned to look at the shimmering lake, letting the breeze tousle her hair.
Gwen continued, "That day, the green giant destroyed the entire street, and you protected Peter, Harry, and me."
You said we would be friends forever.
So I still remember how hard you tried to protect everyone.
I still remember that stone hitting you on the head.
You're very brave; you couldn't possibly be scared into going crazy. I've always known that.
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Mark beside her.
"I've always known." Her eyes were firm yet hopeful.
Mark seemed unable to sense the other person's expectations.
He stretched and yawned, enjoying the beautiful sunshine.
"Haha, I am indeed a brave witcher, you saw right through me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a game notification suddenly appeared in front of him.
Bruce's stamina has recovered.
Mark was a little surprised. Bruce had rested so quickly?
Perhaps because I didn't fight the demon last night, my strength recovered quickly.
In that case, let's start a tense and exciting demon-hunting game!
"I have something to do, and you should go to class too. Goodbye."
After saying that, he ignored Gwen's complicated expression and turned to find a secluded corner.
"Enter the game!"
"Buzz~"
As space distorted, Mark reappeared in his cabin.
Bruce was not home this time either.
Virtual arrows appeared on the ground. After checking his equipment, Mark resumed his search for Bruce.
[You have discovered the Wisdom Flower. After picking the seeds, you can plant them. Once mature, you can harvest the Wisdom Fruit, which will enhance your mental attributes!]
Not long after he stepped outside, Mark spotted red flowers floating by the stream.
"Great, it's a farming game!"
He excitedly went to the stream to pick seeds of the wisdom flower.
【Wisdom Flower Seeds (Unplanted)】
Time required for maturation: 399 days
[Tip: Special tools can be used to shorten the ripening time.]
Seeing this, Mark couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Wouldn't a direct transplant be better?
Why must we harvest seeds for planting?
Hmm, this must be some kind of special way of playing!
