Chapter 002: The Road Ahead

Wang Bo looked at a physics problem on the blackboard and had to admit that, since graduating from university, he had returned much of his knowledge to his teachers.

Therefore, he could not solve this problem independently.

So after hesitating for three seconds, Wang Bo once again expressed his apology to Teacher Haji.

Teacher Haji magnanimously forgave Wang Bo, merely asking him to leave the classroom and go to the corridor outside to clear his head.

Don't think that foreign teachers never physically punish students.

In reality, teachers are much the same the world over; those who physically punish students far outnumber those who care for them. After all, even the most compassionate teacher, after decades of teaching, will have their initial passion and love worn away.

Teachers who never forget their original aspiration and forge ahead are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

This teacher, Haji, was clearly not one of them.

Perhaps he too had once been in his prime, but time had long since worn away his edges, and he treated students as harshly as if they were enemies.

This made many students hold him in awe, even fear.

Including the former Thompson.

But not the current Wang Bo. After all, having traveled through so many worlds, he had long developed a strong heart, able to face many things with composure.

As for such a trivial matter as punishment, Wang Bo would not take it to heart at all.

After leaving the classroom, Wang Bo did not obediently stand in the hallway; instead, while others were not paying attention, he slipped out to tour this Spider-Man High School.

Spider-Man High School is located in the Manhattan area, a very good high school in Manhattan, with both its decoration and architecture extremely luxurious.

After all, Manhattan is the most densely populated and the smallest of New York City's five boroughs. It is home to many famous enterprises, known as the economic center of the world, and is the wealthiest borough in New York.

Midtown High School being able to establish itself here is by no means an ordinary school.

The excellent educational environment alone is enough to make many high schools green with envy.

Because it was class time, Wang Bo walked along the corridor without encountering large numbers of students, nor even a single teacher.

Wang Bo walked all the way, taking a look at the teaching building, and before he knew it, he arrived at a reading room.

Wang Bo pushed open the door and walked in.

The spacious reading room was about the size of two classrooms, with a counter and a dozen or so tables, followed by rows of bookshelves.

Except for a staff member behind the counter, reading with his head down, the vast reading room was empty.

Wang Bo's footsteps startled the reading room staff member, a man in his thirties wearing glasses, with a scholarly, or rather bookish, air. He looked surprised when he saw Wang Bo walk in.

Excuse me, it should be class time now.

"Yes," Wang Bo said calmly. "But what does that have to do with anything?"

The bookworm let out a sound, not knowing what to say, and only after a long while said, “You should go to class.”

"I got kicked out by the teacher," Wang Bo said. "So I'm here reading a book to kill time. Is that okay?"

"Of... of course."

The bookish man, seeing Wang Bo's intimidating gaze, swallowed back his words of advice and nodded awkwardly.

Wang Bo casually grabbed a book titled "How to Manage Your Time" from the bookshelf, plopped down into a chair, and began flipping through it absentmindedly.

But in reality, Wang Bo was thinking about his future life.

Although Wang Bo knew that this world was the world of Spider-Man, and he also knew its plot, he did not intend to follow it.

Because he had no interest in the plot at all.

Wang Bo only wanted to live quietly in this world.

As for the transmigrators, if they actively revealed themselves, Wang Bo wouldn't mind sending them home, but if they, like him, lived quietly, he couldn't be bothered to seek them out.

Anyway, after outliving the other party, Wang Bo could also leave this world.

Therefore, Wang Bo had already decided to live in this world.

Although the Spider-Verse would occasionally spawn villains who opposed Spider-Man, Wang Bo felt that with his own strength, he had no need to fear them.

So in this world, Wang Bo felt that he could also live well.

So far, he had crossed through several worlds, yet not a single one had allowed him to live in peace—he hadn't even managed to stay for a full year.

So Wang Bo had made up his mind this time to live well.

And to live comfortably in this world, money is indispensable.

Although Thompson's family background was decent, they were only a middle-class family, with a monthly allowance of just a few hundred dollars. Among a group of high school students, that would be considered wealthy.

But in Wang Bo's eyes, it was far too low-class.

Fortunately, Wang Bo was not short of money; he was already considering whether he should sell a gemstone to make a fortune.

As for Zhongcheng High School, Wang Bo had no intention of continuing there either.

To be honest, he had already graduated from university for several years, and now suddenly returning to high school was really somewhat embarrassing.

Even if in others' eyes he was just a high school student and it was perfectly fine for him to attend high school, Wang Bo still did not plan to continue his studies.

Sometimes, Wang Bo did miss high school life, but that didn't mean he had to attend high school.

Moreover, once he had money, he would have to move out of the house.

He had to stay away from Thompson's parents to avoid being found out.

Of course, the most important point was that Wang Bo did not want to call a strange man and woman “Mom” and “Dad.” Even if he had replaced Thompson, Wang Bo was not lacking in love.

After moving out, Wang Bo wanted to buy a mansion in New York.

It would cost at least tens of millions of dollars.

The home must have everything—gym, study, pool, garden, cinema—all must be available.

If tens of millions of dollars can't buy such a mansion, then hundreds of millions of dollars will.

Anyway, Wang Bo had plenty of money.

Besides that, Wang Bo also wanted to experience the life of the American rich, get to know all kinds of beauties in New York, and then have some in-depth exchanges with them.

In the previous world, Wang Bo had wanted to take things seriously, but aside from an unexpected deep exchange with Tang Xin, he hadn't managed to get either Chun-Li or Yazi into his bed.

So this time, Wang Bo planned to let himself go a little and have more fun.

"Hey, Thompson, what are you doing here?"

Just as Wang Bo was pondering what path his future should take, a voice sounded in his ear. He looked up and saw a blonde woman sitting down beside him.

Seeing the woman's face, Wang Bo immediately recognized her. Mary Jane!

His current girlfriend, Spider-Man's future girlfriend!
