third chapter
Seeing Gwen squirming for a while, Peter knew that this wave was stable.
Sure enough, Gwen just said calmly: "Don't be so impulsive next time."
Peter breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting around to checking his system.
I saw a window pop up in my sight.
[You showed your unique kindness and successfully protected your classmates who were being bullied. 】
[But, are you the same on the outside as you are on the inside? 】
【career choice】
Occupation 1: Superhero
Occupation 2: Super Villain
[Determining the occupation will affect subsequent tasks, rewards, and routes. 】
…
Peter didn't expect that the system would suddenly pop up this sentence.
What does it mean, what is "whether the inside is the same as the outside"?
You look down on people, don’t you! ?
He was about to choose [Superhero] without saying a word, but he stopped before he was sure.
He suddenly thought of Spider-Man, the masked hero who had always carried out the principle that with great power comes great responsibility throughout his life.
He protected the community and New York, but the price was that his life was shattered.
Relatives, lovers, and career have all gone nowhere. He is almost middle-aged and cannot even afford Aunt Mei’s medical bills.
Even the other extreme, Tony Stark, ended up snapping his fingers.
But its influence was quickly devoured after death. The career he left behind has also become a feast for careerists.
Am I really ready to take on the title of "hero"? Peter asked himself.
Amid this hesitation, time also came when school was over at sunset.
"What's wrong, Peter? You seem to have something on your mind." Gwen said casually.
After being hit by Peter's straight ball in the morning, although she looked calm on the outside, her heart was racing, and she even rarely became distracted even in class.
Without him, this feeling of being admired and attracted by Fa Xiao was really the first time in her life, and it made her feel a little dizzy.
In her mind, this was the first time she saw Peter showing such emotion.
Most of the time, Peter was like a boring gourd, although he was pretty good.
She was even thinking about how to take the opportunity to guide Peter to say more words of admiration for Spider-Man, so that he could become a black history in the future hehehe...
Inevitably, she paid more attention to Peter, and soon discovered that Peter was absent-minded.
"Nothing," Peter shook his head and was about to excuse himself when he suddenly froze for a moment and said instead:
"Gwen, can you come with me?"
"Huh?" Gwen held the book in her arms and tilted her head, "Of course it's no problem."
Peter led Gwen to the sports equipment room, which was in a remote location and rarely visited by people.
However, in his sight, three yellow exclamation marks were clearly marking this place.
[Block, ignore, join in, how are you going to deal with it? 】
…
Gwen was originally wondering what Peter wanted to do by suddenly taking her further and further away...
When she came to the equipment room and heard the movement inside, her expression changed and she quickly opened the door, then froze.
People in the equipment room were also startled by the sudden opening of the door, and when they turned around, they were also stunned.
"It's you again!" x2
The bullies and bullied in the equipment room are Lightning and his friends again, as well as Gordon.
"You are bullying me again." Gwen frowned.
Lightning was also speechless. Why did he get hit even though he came to such a remote place?
Just like in the morning, under the intimidation of the eyes of the city police chief's daughter, Lightning and the others could no longer bully Gordon, so they could only say harsh words to Gordon.
But his eyes were clearly fixed on Peter.
After a few people left, Gwen frowned and said, "Peter, you've been careful about lightning lately. It's best not to leave my side."
Peter nodded.
He also suddenly noticed a triangular exclamation point here just now, and came here on the spur of the moment.
He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull up Gordon who was pushed to the ground.
"Are you OK?"
He originally thought that Gordon would say some words of thanks, but he didn't expect that the first thing Gordon said after standing up was:
"You...can you please stop disturbing me."
Peter was stunned for a moment, "We are helping you."
Perhaps because he knew Peter would not hurt him, Gordon's voice actually increased as he spoke, using a complaining tone.
"..."x2
Peter and Gwen looked at each other, both speechless.
None of them expected that the people they helped with good intentions would in turn condemn them, and their good intentions would be treated as if they were assholes.
Noticing that the expressions on Peter's and Peter's faces had turned sour, Gordon immediately flinched.
"Hug...sorry."
Peter: "...Forget it, let's go."
Gordon fled as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Peter..." Gwen said worriedly.
She worried that Peter would be frustrated by Gordon's attitude.
After all, your kind help is only met with complaints from others, which can easily make people feel discouraged.
Gwen put herself in his shoes and thought for a moment.
If she helps others as Spider-Man, but the result is incomprehension and contempt, she will definitely be hit hard.
In fact, Peter was silent for a long time, but after the silence, he did not feel depressed, but became much more enlightened.
The mood also becomes comfortable.
He shook his head, with a faint helpless smile on his face, "He doesn't seem to want our help."
He felt that his current acting skills might give him a chance to run for president.
"Gordon went too far. You were obviously helping him! Instead, he repaid you with kindness!" Gwen was aggrieved for Peter.
"It's okay Gwen, I don't mind."
Not only was Peter not angry, but he said softly: "Gordon is just scared."
"Afraid?" Gwen was confused.
Peter nodded and said, "It's just that my power is too weak to eliminate Gordon's fear of Lightning and the others."
"Also, I don't help others because I want to be thanked by others, I just do it because I want to."
"Just wanted to do this..."
Gwen murmured.
She didn't expect that Peter could maintain a peaceful mind under such circumstances.
Not only did he not feel angry, but he was also so considerate and considerate of others.
This made her deeply feel Peter's gentleness and kindness.
Gwen's eyes became a little bright when she looked at Peter.
Peter regards her as Spider-Man as a role model, but to a certain extent, Peter's kindness and tenacity at this moment are more worthy of learning and protecting her as Spider-Man.
Even though she didn't know how many years had passed, the young man's appearance at this moment was clearly imprinted in her heart.
But Peter had it all figured out.
Why should I bother with the thankless task of being a "hero"?
The only one who can save the world is the world itself.
As long as you take care of your three acres of land and find a way to live more comfortably, wouldn't it be good?
Just let him be a self-abandoning loser like Gordon.
Being trapped in darkness is not scary, but numbness is scary. Even if the light comes one day, he will not be able to grasp it.
Oh, but isn't it precisely because of the presence of people like Gordon that the importance of "heroes" can be shown and that "systems" and "tasks" can be brought to him?
As Peter's mind suddenly became enlightened, systematic prompts also followed one after another.
