I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

Chapter 72 Gwen's Gift

"burst!Spider-Woman saves the library! "

Betty Brant clicked the last exclamation point with some satisfaction, and then she took off the black headband on her head, and spread her long flaxen hair, looking a little smug.

The battle that broke out in the square in front of the library obviously attracted the attention of the entire Empire State University, and young men and women were all very interested in Spider-Woman fighting the monster Birdman.

Although short online videos were not so popular in 2008, with the help of hundreds of megapixel mobile phone cameras, photos and video evidence were still left behind. People saw white-painted drones gathering behind Spider-Woman, Like her wings—

"Spiderman + drone? Cool!"

"Who can mobilize so many armed drones in New York City? Is Spider-Woman working with the military?"

"Is it possible that she has her own laboratory?"

"The upstairs is too stupid. Fortunately, you are still a student of Imperial State University. A drone of this magnitude cannot be produced in a laboratory. It looks like a product after going through an industrial assembly line."

Betty swiped the page and browsed the students' comments. Almost every time she hit the F5 refresh button, dozens of comments popped up. College students who have no classes are always full of energy on such things.

"Om-"

Betty's Nokia phone on the table vibrated violently, slipped and fell to the ground.The female reporter hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and when she lowered her head, she saw a call from Gwen:

"Hey, Betty." For some reason, Gwen's voice sounded a little guilty, "What are you up to?"

"It's nothing." Betty almost threw her ecstasy into the handset of the mobile phone, letting the girlfriend on the other side see her success—"I just finished writing a report."

"Oh..." Gwen paused, as if in deep thought for a few seconds, before asking the next question, "What report?"

This suddenly opened up Betty's chatterbox. The female reporter became excited and confided to Gwen on the other side of the phone regardless: "You know, Spider-Woman, she is so handsome!"

Gwen opened her mouth and said nothing, and then Betty followed up like a cannonball: "Please forgive my wording, I mean, the news about Spider-Woman has exploded, just like an atomic bomb!"

Betty couldn't see that on the other side of the phone, Gwen Stacy had covered her face.Although as a rock girl, Gwen always wants to write bohemian on her face, but she still secretly pays attention to other people's views on Spider-Woman.

"Boys have listed Spider-Woman as Goddess of the Year, you know, there is a video on YouTube where she takes off with a drone, slides through the sky like a pen and lands, and now this video has more than 100 likes [-] million."

The sudden popularity made Gwen a little at a loss, and the girl felt embarrassed and nervous, and there were also many surprises.

However, Gwen Stacy was born in an unhappy native family. She attended her first funeral—the funeral of her mother Helen Stacy—before she even knew her own name.

So Gwen couldn't handle the complex emotions at all. She just tried to cover up these complexities with her cool and handsome as usual: "Oh, very good, the nerds finally have a positive object of worship."

"Hey!" Betty expressed dissatisfaction with Gwen's calmness, "Gwen, what's your reaction? If you don't like Spider-Woman, you should at least praise your friend's work!"

"Uh..." Gwen, who was immersed in many emotions, naturally had no time to take into account the emotions of her best friend Betty Brant. It wasn't until Betty expressed her dissatisfaction that Gwen realized it later: "Good job, Betty."

Betty sighed. Although the two were friends, even after getting along for a while, she found that it was really difficult for her to see through Gwen.

However, the female reporter is also better at communicating than Spider-Woman. She changed the subject easily, not letting Gwen see the slightest sign of disappointment: "Gwen, do you know that the technical geeks in the academy are giving Spider-Man The heroine builds a website, and they seem to plan to go outside the campus to invest in renting servers, and set up a forum about Spider-woman by the way!"

On the other side of the phone, Raymond watched the last drone fall into the warehouse, and the vulture was packed into an armored vehicle with various restraint devices.Then he turned his gaze to Gwen. The girl had taken off her spider mask, lowered her head helplessly in the dusk and covered her forehead, shaking her head.

The blond hair with pink highlights was shaking, and it was particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.At the same time, the setting sun also outlined the slender waist of the girl in tights, which was reflected in Raymond's eyes not far away.

Seeing Gwen dancing and talking on the phone, Raymond couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, feeling relaxed from the inside out.He put away the computer to check the situation of the drone, and walked over to Gwen in the distance. When he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the girl speaking on the phone:
"That's... really good..."

Even if Raymond didn't know the content of Gwen and Betty's communication, he could judge just based on Gwen's awkward expression when she said this, the little movement of her right foot standing up and the slight red on the girl's fair face. What an embarrassing situation Spider Girl is in now.

"Forget it." Betty accused Gwen on the other side of the phone, "I know you're not interested in this kind of thing...then I'll keep busy!"

Saying that, Betty was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait!" Seeing that her best friend was about to hang up, the hesitant Gwen finally couldn't help it: "Can you give me... an account on that forum?"

"What forum?" Betty laughed suddenly, "is it from the Spider-Woman forum?"

Gwen exchanged glances with Raymond beside her, and the girl gave Raymond an embarrassing expression, then she grinned and replied softly, almost about to express her guilt: "Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Gwen put the phone in his pocket helplessly, and tried to explain to Raymond next to him: "Listen to me, I just want to see what valuable information is on the forum, maybe it can help .”

"No need to explain, Gwen." Raymond gave Gwen a mysterious smile - which made Gwen feel even more frustrated.

"I'm really investigating information!" Gwen raised her voice, emphasizing her purpose—strongly implying that she didn't want this account out of narcissism.

"That's right—" Raymond raised his voice, as if he was teasing the embarrassed and shy Gwen, "You should check this forum."

"what?"

Raymond smiled lightly, and he patted Gwen on the shoulder—now that the distance between the two was unprecedentedly close, he almost turned this action into a routine every time he communicated with Gwen: "According to me It is expected that there should be your opponents in it, but there are also many fanatical fans of yours."

Raymond puts the accent on the word "wild fan," causing Gwen to look away again in embarrassment.

"Spider-Man always fights alone, trying to save ordinary people." Raymond slowly inspired Gwen, "Gwen, you are a good friend and hope for all ordinary people in New York."

Gwen looked up at Raymond, and she read the taste called expectation from those black eyes-it was something she hadn't gotten from her father for a long time.

"Don't underestimate the power of ordinary people, Gwen." Raymond took a step closer, and said softly to the girl who was close at hand: "Maybe ordinary people one by one are ants, but before you become Spider-Woman, you are just Ordinary people, these supervillains were once ordinary people, and there will be more superheroes and supervillains born from ordinary people.”

"So?" When Gwen spoke, she felt it with her extraordinary physique. She could almost feel Raymond's breathing and hear his heartbeat—the girl hurriedly turned her head away, not confronting Raymond. See.

"Using the power of ordinary people well may get twice the result with half the effort for you."

The golden-haired powder dyed her head and turned her head again. The girl noticed that the mentor had taken a step back, but she could still read the utmost tenderness and patience from his gaze.

"I understand."

Gwen's arms were trembling, and she wanted to hug the person in front of her a little - she didn't know when, she missed the hug in the experiment center office that day.

"Also." Raymond turned around, and the last drone landed quietly not far from the two of them.He took Gwen forward, squatted down, touched the back of the drone, and then turned around and smiled at Gwen: "Do you like this gift?"

"This is……?"

"My project, the emergency awareness defense and lifesaving system, is a V1.0 batch of drones, which can be equipped with various life detection and lifesaving equipment, and can also be armed." The professor explained to the students behind him, "In the future, they will This is your partner in battle."

Raymond turned his head to the drone with its big blue eyes: "Say hi."

The drone started the ducted fan, turned to look at Gwen, and said politely in an electromechanical voice: "Hi! Miss Gwen Stacy, I'm EADLS, you can call me Adlers."

"Still stupid." Raymond stood up and explained to Gwen, "I can only speak or do things according to the predetermined procedures, otherwise I have to use the remote control. Thank you for your hard work."

"Is this for me?" Gwen suppressed her happiness, but the corners of her lips curled up almost betraying her.

"Yes." Raymond put his hands on Gwen's shoulders this time, "Your old job, help me test the prototype, is it okay?"

"No problem!" Gwen naturally knew how much these drones helped him today.

"That's good." Raymond nodded at Gwen, "I'll check the storage situation first, you can get acquainted with this little guy, and you can take it back."

Gwen nodded, then watched Raymond leave.

After that, the girl in the combat uniform squatted down lightly, her hand gently pressing on the back of the drone.The girl turned her eyes to the dancing sunset on the New York skyline, and gently repeated Raymond's words——

"Using the power of ordinary people well may get twice the result with half the effort for you."
