Karl carried the box to a small alley and walked to the manhole cover deep in the alley.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the center of the manhole cover. The ordinary manhole cover made a mechanical sound, and then slowly opened, revealing a small hole.
Karl didn't know what this hole was for. He just happened to scan it when he passed by and found a small hole of 2*2*2 cubic meters. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, so he simply modified it and turned it into a secret. base.
Karl threw the box in, then jumped down and counted the results.
In order to get these two boxes of black gold, I paid a lot of money. Just throwing in various props cost me 20,000 US dollars.
Note that the $20,000 here does not include Carl’s labor costs, time costs, and technology costs, but is simply the cost of materials.
This does not include Karl's subsequent maintenance and repair of his equipment and upgrades to his suit...
Oh my gosh! Just thinking about it makes my body ache!
"Sure enough, it's unrealistic for ordinary people without mutations to rely on technology." Karl complained: "Otherwise, you can only be a villain like me who robs the poor and gives to the rich."
Carl sighed, took stock of his gear, and hurried home.
There was no one at home, and it was still dark when Karl came back. Karl was relieved. Today took much longer than before. He was really afraid that George would ask questions.
"When will you be back?" - Carl.
"Right away!" -Gwen.
"Later."—George.
Carl skillfully put on his chef's apron, opened the refrigerator and looked at the dishes, preparing to make American-style orange chicken. Carl had never eaten this in his previous life. After all, it was an authentic American-style Chinese food, but it tasted not bad.
Karl was finishing cooking when he heard a tap on the window. He turned around and saw that Gwen was sneaking in.
"Back? Karl's sudden greeting startled Gwen. She looked at Karl, stunned for a moment, and asked: "Karl, what's wrong with your face? "
"My face?" Karl touched it and found that the right side of his face was indeed a little swollen. After the fight with Matt, his whole body hurt. Karl even forgot to take a look at his own injuries.
"Don't move!" Gwen looked at Karl seriously, stretched out his hand and touched it, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Karl looked into her blue eyes, felt his heart beat slow for half a beat, and said unnaturally: "It's okay."
Gwen looked at Carl's arm and found that his arm was also covered in scars.
"Karl, what did you do?"
"Nothing, just a little thing." Karl said vaguely. He didn't pay attention to the scars on his body, otherwise he would at least take care of them before going home.
"Karl!" Gwen looked at him angrily, her blue eyes full of distress and anger: "I am your sister."
"It's really nothing serious." Karl smiled bitterly: "It was just a fight with someone. You know, teenagers like me always have hormones bursting out."
"I'm fine, Gwen, look, I made you orange chicken."
Gwen said nothing, turned and ran into the room and took out the family medical kit.
"Let me apply medicine to you."
Karl looked at the girl's firm eyes and nodded.
Gwen touched the trauma medicine carefully, feeling uncomfortable.
Karl's previous words appeared in her mind again.
"You are always too nice to strangers, but you ignore the people around you."
Yes, if I hadn't been Spider-Man, I might have been able to protect Carl today.
Peter didn't know how to...
"Carl." Gwen asked suddenly: "Am I really bad?"
Karl looked at her doubtfully, and Gwen explained: "I mean, am I really the kind of person who is not nice to the people around me but nice to strangers?"
"Gwen, of course you are not such a person." Karl comforted with a smile. He reached out and pushed Gwen's messy blond hair behind her ears, and then said: "I said, Gwen, you are a kind person. ."
"Kindness is infinite. You can express your kindness to anyone, but people's time and energy are limited. If you use your limited time and energy to help others, you will naturally ignore the people around you. people."
"Besides, you don't have to blame yourself." Karl joked: "How can a woman intervene in a battle between men, even if you are my sister?"
Gwen rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Who hit him?"
"Don't ask!" Karl twisted his neck and said, "Anyway, I won in the end."
"Okay." Gwen applied the medicine and couldn't help but pat Carl's wound. Carl suddenly gasped in pain.
Seeing Carl's grinning look, Gwen couldn't help but laugh: "Be strong, tough guy!"
"Who is the tough guy?" George walked in and was stunned when he saw Karl's face: "What's going on?"
"Our tough guy Carl got into a man-on-man fight and he ended up winning!"
Gwen was sure she said this in a sarcastic tone, but George grinned and said to Carl, "Well done!"
Gwen sighed, does anyone in this world know what these men are thinking?
Several people had a meal of sweet and sour orange chicken. Sheriff George Stacey praised it highly and hoped to continue eating this dish tomorrow night. Unfortunately, Carl and Gwen objected, so they had no choice but to give up.
After Gwen had eaten and drank, she walked into the room. George and Karl looked at each other. After a while, George asked: "Tell me, who is it?"
"Ned Leeds." Karl took a sip of tea and said calmly: "He couldn't control his mouth, so I helped him control it."
"Gwen?"
Karl nodded and said nothing more.
George patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done."
"Since I did such a good job and was seriously injured, why don't you wash the dishes today?"
"Damn, so you're here waiting for me."
Across the door, Gwen sat on the ground leaning against the door.
"Ned Leeds?" A look of disgust flashed in her eyes. She remembered that Peter was the target of his bullying. Now he still wants to bully Karl?
The next day, Carl, who was bruised and swollen, met Ned, who was also bruised and swollen.
Ned had a look of grief and anger on his face. You just pressed my face to the ground and rubbed it, and you asked someone to beat me?
But Ned underestimated Carl's shamelessness. When Carl saw him, he shouted: "Ned, you shameless bastard! You can't beat me yourself, but you find someone else to plot against me?"
The corridors of the teaching building of Vision High School were filled with people, both teachers and students heard this sentence.
Most students are deeply impressed by Ned Leeds, the school bully. Most of them have seen how he bullies the nerds without restraint. Even good people like Peter Parker cannot escape his clutches.
But frankly speaking, when they heard that Ned Leeds was bullied by a transfer student named Carl Stacey yesterday, most of them were happy. At least, it was extremely frustrating to see such a bad guy unlucky. Something that most people like to hear.
"I didn't expect Ned Leeds to be such a guy."
"I just said he was a softie who only dared to bully those nerds."
"You want someone else to take revenge after you were beaten? You really are not a man."
Ned heard the comments around him and felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.
He obviously didn't do anything and was beaten twice. Why was he the one who got scolded in the end?
