I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

Chapter 4 Gwen's Trouble

The young and beautiful girl Gwen Stacy has many things in her life that she hasn't figured out whether she should regret, including being bitten by a radiation spider and turning into a ghost spiderman, and her childhood sweetheart who turned into a lizardman. Peter Parker getting too heavy handed and running away from home across parallel universes to escape his father's pressure... Now to add to these things:
She missed Professor Raymond Xu's class yesterday morning.

This led to a series of complicated problems. First, she was caught by the professor, and she stood next to the podium for a whole class, letting almost the entire school know that the beautiful girl Gwen was late again, and then she was escorted by the professor. Office inspection, and then encountered a school shooter on the road... So Gwen had to lose his horse in front of Professor Xu, and then his identity was exposed.

Unlike Tony Stark, who is at the top and has extensive connections in the military and political circles, who can unscrupulously announce his identity as Iron Man, Gwen Stacy, who has no relatives and no family in this universe, must be careful every step of the way. I know what horrible forces or super villains exist in this world... But it turns out that Gwen Stacy's carefulness is only the "cautiousness" of a young girl with a weak crown. In many places, she is almost careless .

Raymond Xu is not a few years older than her, but as a genius who was admitted to a top university in his hometown at the age of 15 and graduated as a Ph.D. Much richer than Gwen - at least no one has ever suspected that the soul in his body does not belong to this world.

But it’s useless to regret it now. Gwen’s experience in the past few years is to learn to accept this fucking life... After thinking about this, the girl took a deep breath: "Professor Xu, I want you to keep it a secret from me."

The mysterious will that seemed to come from the entire universe that had been suppressing him all the time was suddenly released. Raymond seemed to have relieved some burden, and finally he could say the words that he couldn't say before. : "Are you Miss Ghost Spider-Man?"

Gwen remained silent, and after thinking about it, he just nodded—but Raymond still caught a trace of helplessness in the girl's eyes, which probably came from the fact that his secret identity was accidentally discovered by a stranger who didn't want to do it. sorry.

"Okay..." Professor Xu sighed again, "Miss Stacey, if this is the reason why you were warned by your studies for being late and leaving early, then I accept it."

What's the use of you accepting, you're not a member of the executive committee of the school council - Gwen complained in her heart, of course she didn't have the guts to just complain about a tenured professor at a private Ivy League university.

"So, Professor, where is my coat... those papers are very difficult to reissue..."

"Ah..." Raymond walked out from behind the desk and came to the door, "You can go to the school hospital to look for it, it was too messy yesterday, they still have a lot of unclaimed things."

"I see, thank you." Gwen, who got her wish, nodded obediently.Seeing that Raymond was about to leave, the sensitive girl added another sentence: "Please keep it a secret for me!"

"Please also..." After Raymond Xu said this, he began to regret it, what?Also don't drag me into the world of superheroes?Or don't you want to be my student anymore?From the time he saw the name Gwen Stacy on the roster, he was inevitably involved in one of the multiverse Spider-Man stories.

"What, Professor?" Gwen tilted her head, her blond short and medium hair dangling cutely.

"It's nothing..." Forcing himself to look away from the girl's blue eyes, Raymond Xu continued: "Go to the school hospital quickly, I'm leaving later, and I have a meeting in the afternoon."

————Professor Xu’s career dividing line———

"As a simple missile used for vulnerable cluster soft targets and non-highly hardened hard targets, the 'Jericho' missile has no problem, and it also makes up for the current vacancy of the military." Raymond said in Star Standing in front of the PPT curtain in the company's conference room, he confided his evaluation: "But as a weapon system, it has too few bright spots, and it cannot be compatible with the Army's M270 and M142 multiple rocket launch systems, and is not suitable for the Air Force's Various types of tactical fighters are completely incompatible with the JSF project under development, and I can’t think of any reason for the Navy to purchase such a short-range land attack missile.”

Tony Stark was spinning his pen on the other side of the long conference table. He is a self-proclaimed genius who is rarely willing to listen to other people's opinions, but this person in front of him is an exception-after all, Raymond Xu is a member of Stark Industrial Weapons Co., Ltd. Senior technical consultant in the R&D department.The success of Stark Industries is of course inseparable from Stark's own talent in technology research and development, but Raymond Xu's organizational ability and index selection in engineering must not be ignored.

"So, Xu, what's your opinion?"

Contrary to the impression of outsiders, when dealing with technical issues, Tony Stark tends to let go of his incongruous playboy tone. This is really because technology is technology, and no sloppy and perfunctory can be tolerated.

"We are too accustomed to the days when the military-industrial complex in the former president's era gave the army what it had to accept." Before Professor Xu could speak, Obadiah Stanislav pointed out sharply, "'Jericho 'The project still lacks further review and demonstration, I will try my best to communicate with the military, but at the same time, I also hope..."

Obadia stood up and looked around at the professors, scientists, research institutes, engineers and Tony Stark: "The 'Jericho' missile must have higher versatility, we should find a way to integrate it into Our F-16 operational upgrade program and the M142 High Mobility Multiple Launch Rocket System…”

When Professor Xu walked out of the Stark Industries conference room, he looked like a salted fish—if possible, he wanted to lie flat and die, but in a place like New York, where money is needed to breathe, it is difficult to survive decently. It is not so easy, so it is essential to apply to these large companies for horizontal projects.

Some people are born with a golden spoon in their mouths... Raymond Xu turned around, looked at Tony Stark's leaving back, and sighed softly.

In fact, in theory, from Howard Stark to Tony's generation, the status of the Stark family has dropped a lot-Howard Stark was the main contractor of US military weapons during World War II and the leader of the Manhattan Project One of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., no joke, is the major shareholder of the United States that can be tied with the old Morgan, Citibank and the Boston Consortium.

But in Tony's generation, the former "major shareholder of the United States" turned into a pure arms dealer, and Tony's position in Stark Industries was almost completely emptied by Obadiah at this time... the former "old money" Turned into a simple arms dealer, I don't know how Howard's spirit will feel.

Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Raymond shrugged, took out his phone and placed an order for a cheese pizza at the pizza shop he used to eat.

————The dividing line of Gwen’s hard work———

Compared with Professor Raymond Xu, a high-end migrant worker who shuttles between large enterprises for a meal, Gwen Stacy's after-school life is low-end in comparison—perhaps the fate of every Spiderman , at this time Gwen was shuttling through the urban traffic with a large stack of pizza boxes in her arms, looking down at the watch on her wrist from time to time.

The girl has tried many jobs, from a part-time supermarket cashier, a school computer room assistant to a librarian. It can be said that she is not suitable for any position she has tried before. The heavy responsibilities at a too young age made her and her peers There is a noticeable distance between them.She tries to relieve her stress by joining the school's rock band, but with little success.

In addition, even though she is a student at an Ivy League school, her long-term absenteeism and her resume, which barely passed most of the courses after making up exams, are not so favored by companies. If Wen wants to survive in the familiar yet unfamiliar New York, he must find a way to earn enough money.

The order in hand is about to time out in 5 minutes, but damn it... the traffic jam in front of him blocked a full three intersections.While lamenting how unlucky she was these days, Gwen turned into the alley, threw off the fat white coat she had just brought back, and put on the mask and hood.

There's no rule that Spider-Woman can't use super powers to deliver pizza, right?

The girl shot spider silk towards the edge of the tall building, and pulled herself up suddenly. The girl's ballet skills allowed her to move around the city like an elf dexterously—but she obviously didn't expect that the pile of pizza in her hand was already in the sky at this time. Under the action of inertia, it danced in the thin pizza box.

Pressing the timeline of 5 minutes, Gwen climbed to the window on the 17th floor of the target apartment building. Seeing the cleaning old woman walk into the emergency passage, the spider girl flexibly opened the window of the apartment corridor and climbed all the way along the ceiling. He stepped in, then turned over from the ceiling and landed smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, she took out a red sweater from her backpack and hurriedly changed it, covering up the tight battle suit that was always close to her body.

"Ding dong——" the girl rang the doorbell, trying her best to bring out a sweet voice that treats customers like a god: "Your pizza has arrived."

Professor Xu, who was wearing a large white bathrobe and messy hair, opened the door and saw...

"Miss Stacy?!" "Professor Xu?!"

The two people who were facing each other showed surprised expressions at the same time.The desperate Raymond Xu's eyes showed panic. He didn't know that Gwen Stacy was a character who came to make trouble or even silence her after being exposed, so he couldn't help worrying about himself.

Gwen took a deep breath, suppressed the embarrassing memories of this talented professor, forced himself to calm down, took out the box of cheese pizza and handed it to his professor: "Mr. Professor, this is the pizza you ordered. Please don't forget my little..."

Professor Xu, who was holding a $3 bill and was about to give a tip, and Gwen Stacey, who was holding a large stack of pizza boxes, opened their mouths when they saw the open cheese pizza box.

The pizza was really appalling, and what was even more appalling than the pizza was the white pizza box...Professor Xu put the hand holding the 3-dollar bill behind his back, frowned and asked, "Miss Stacey, I guess you It must not have come here by swinging a spider's thread, right?"

The blond girl raised her head to answer the question with a dejected expression.
