Chapter 68 - SMALL QUARREL (1/2)

Two days later, in a secret base on the Hudson River. Lin Rui is sitting on his sofa. As for Matt, he is frowning at Spiderman, who is hopping around the base.

“Wow! How did you find such a secret base which is concealed, safe and s.p.a.cious! ” According to the address and telephone number Lin Rui left two days ago, Peter came back after spending two days at home and now he was visiting the base excitedly.

“Is this a public place? There is also a big screen TV and game consoles?! This refrigerator and a.r.s.enal are also very good, although I don’t need those guns and bombs!” At his feet, he wandered around the base, and Peter’s words did not stop for a moment.

Hoo!

“Ohh? Cuc.u.mber-flavored potato chips? A good friend of mine likes them!” Shutting down the refrigerator filled with all kinds of food, Peter went on with his thoughts.

However, after he picked up the bag of cuc.u.mber-flavored potato chips and mentioned his good friend, Lin Rui, who had been seated safely on the sofa, was a little stunned. Then Peter threw the bag of potato chips back in, and he was relieved that it seemed impossible for a bag of potato chips to connect him with Peter’s good friend Jackson.

Hoo!

After finally visiting this secret base, Peter sat down on a chair in the public area, the chair that Jack himself moved in the previous two days.

“That’s…” Seeing Peter sitting in Jack’s seat, Lin Rui was going to remind him, but he didn’t say anything at last.

“So this is our secret base. And you, Daredevil, are another teammate of mine?” He twisted his b.u.t.t in Jack’s chair and looked at Matt and asked.

“…” There was no response.

Daredevil was too lazy to take care of this apparent smart-a.s.s kid and turned his eyes to Lin Rui in silence. Although masked, Lin Rui can also feel Matt’s expression saying: ‘Where did you find this wonderful flower?’

Although Matt knows that Lin Rui is also a junior high school student, but his behavior and character are more stable, Matt has never regarded him as a child. But Peter is different. He looks and seems like a childish and talkative second-year high school teenager.

“That, Spiderman. Now that you’re here today and you’re sure to join us. So, in order to cooperate better in future missions, we need to know what abilities you have. Why don’t you introduce them to us?” Receiving Matt’s silent message, Lin Rui took Peter’s words and quickly changed the subject.

Of Marvel’s Superhero, Spiderman has most fans and Lin Rui knows Spiderman’s abilities well. But this is a reality and not movies, so Lin Rui worries about deviations. Moreover, the films have been made in several versions and Lin Rui doesn’t know which Marvel World spiderman he is talking to.

“Well, of course. But I’m also curious about your abilities.” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Peter agreed, but also made his own request.

“Of course, that’s what teammates do.” Of course, Lin Rui doesn’t mind telling Peter about his strength, as he will know about them in the future.

“Well, my abilities are mainly superhuman strength, agility, and observation. Also, I made a special device, a launcher that can emit synthetic spider silk threads. As you probably know, I can use this device to move quickly by swinging from one building to another. Peter briefly introduced his ability, of course, He still concealed the origin of his ability and the spider that gave him these abilities as he himself doesn’t understand them.

“Speaking of this, I’m curious about what you did that day. Mirage Knight, can you really fly?” After introducing his abilities, Peter looked across at Lin Rui and asked curiously.

Although Peter had great strength and coordination after his body went through the mutation, he could not fly directly from one building to another without any tools like Lin Rui.

“Haha, that’s just a special use of my abilities. Of course, I can’t fly, although I wish I could fly.” Laughing, Lin Rui explained briefly.

“And what abilities do you have? Are you a Mutant?” Hearing Lin Rui’s explanations, Peter first thought of the world’s easiest-to-think group of people with special abilities.

“No, I am not a Mutant. It can be said that my strength is gradually acc.u.mulated through a way of self-exercise, unlike those who are born with power.” Laughing, Lin Rui denied Peter’s speculation and explained the origin of his ability. Of course, he did not explain his cultivation technique, which is not generally understood.

“Oh! I knew you weren’t Mutant!” Peter was excited to hear Lin Rui’s explanation.

For historical reasons, the image of Mutants in the hearts of ordinary Americans is not too good. Although there are moderate Mutants like the X-Men led by Professor Charles, there is also brotherhood led by Magneto and underground evil forces that study the Mutants genes hidden in the dark. The US government’s att.i.tude toward Mutants has not always been good and ordinary Mutants are not very popular in life. So today, most Mutants still hide their mutant abilities among the majority of ordinary people.

“Well? Yes? You don’t like Mutants?” Hearing Peter’s words, Lin Rui seemed to feel a slight estrangement towards Mutants in his tone.

This is not a good phenomenon, not to mention that Lin Rui will encounter many decent Mutants in the future. Now, there is a Mutant in his team, that is Jack (Jack is a third-level Mutant of muscle-strengthening ability. If Peter is too obvious, he is worried that Peter and Jack will not get along. Although Mutants’forces are severely divided and they are independent and even against each other. However, in their Mutants ident.i.ty, they are unanimous with the outside world.

“Ah?! No, it’s just that some Mutants always think they’re at the forefront of human evolution. I just don’t like them very much.” Apparently, Peter was also influenced by organizations created by the likes of Magneto that wanted Mutants to rise to lead the human race.

For Peter, Mutants are just a product of human development and not singular particularity. The world is so mysterious that Mutants are not the only ones with special powers. Like Peter himself, he became so powerful when he was bitten by a spider and his power was constantly growing and it was controllable, much better than the uncontrollable variants.
