Chapter 008: The Spider Science Exhibition

The life of the rich is often simple, unadorned, and boring.

Over the next few days, Wang Bo fully experienced this: watching TV and playing games at home during the day, and playing games and watching TV at home at night.

But even with such a simple, unadorned, and boring life, Wang Bo still found it thoroughly enjoyable.

Not to mention that he had three Transformers by his side playing games with him.

However, what surprised Wang Bo was that the three Transformers were each better than the last, and he was soon surpassed by them, which filled him with relief.

It was as if he had watched the useless foolish son of a landlord family grow up.

But after the three had thoroughly trounced him, Wang Bo no longer had any urge to play games with them.

However, not long after, a phone call shattered Wang Bo's peaceful life.

"Thompson, you haven't been to class for days. Are you really planning to drop out, Thompson? I went to your house to find you, but your parents refused to talk about you. What happened to you? Why has your relationship with your family become so terrible?"

The caller was still Wang Bo's girlfriend... Mary Jane!

Wang Bo remembered that when he watched the movie, he didn't like this woman, thinking she was a bit of a bitch, but now it seemed she wasn't entirely worthless.

At least she knew how to care about others and how to be considerate.

Wang Bo said while playing a game, "I'm fine, Mary, I'm really fine. I feel better than ever. You really don't need to worry, Mary."

"The more you say that, the more worried I get," Mary Jane said. "No matter what happened, I think you should come to school, Thompson."

"I..."

"By the way, the school is organizing an event tomorrow to visit a science exhibition about spiders," Mary Jane interrupted Wang Bo, speaking seriously. "I think you should participate in this event. It's a very meaningful activity."

Wang Bo was taken aback when he heard this.

A spider science exhibition?

Doesn't that mean Spider-Man is about to be born?

Since he had nothing else to do, maybe he should go take a look and see what was so special about this spider that could turn Peter Parker into Spider-Man.

In many versions, Peter Parker's transformation into Spider-Man was inseparable from his father's research.

But in this version, Peter Parker becoming Spider-Man had nothing to do with his father; it was simply because he was bitten by a spider.

So Wang Bo suddenly became interested in this spider.

Thus, Wang Bo changed his mind and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll come find you at school tomorrow."

"No problem, see you tomorrow." Mary Jane breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wang Bo change his mind. Thompson was the popular star of the school, and as his girlfriend, she attracted a lot of attention.

So Mary Jane truly didn't want to lose Thompson as her boyfriend.

At least at school.

The next morning, after breakfast, Wang Bo drove his Ferrari to Midtown High. By the way, this Ferrari of his was actually the Batmobile Blackwing in disguise; although the shell was a Ferrari, the inside was Blackwing.

The real Ferrari had been thrown into Wang Bo's four-dimensional pocket.

Along the way, Wang Bo kept one hand on the steering wheel, but it was just for show; the one driving wasn't Wang Bo, but Blackwing.

When Wang Bo parked Blackwing at Midtown High, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

For the students of Midtown High, a Ferrari was definitely an eye-catcher. Although not as good as a Rolls-Royce or a Bugatti Veyron, it was still a luxury car.

Most students could only dream of such a luxury car.

When Wang Bo got out of the car, it immediately drew gasps.

"Look, it's Flash Thompson."

"Oh my god, he's driving a Ferrari to school."

"I remember he's from a middle-class family. How could he afford such a luxury car?"

Wang Bo ignored all this; he wasn't here to show off. Walking to the hallway of the teaching building, Wang Bo quickly found Mary Jane, and also saw a timid little boy hovering around her.

Wang Bo retrieved this person from Thompson's memories.

Peter Parker.

The future Spider-Man.

But right now, he was still a green young boy, not particularly handsome—at least not as handsome as in the comics. Thinking of the equally unattractive Mary Jane, Wang Bo seemed to understand something.

It seemed that in this version, the art style of Spider-Man wasn't all that great.

At present, Peter Parker was still a high school student, stammering when talking to his crush, but Mary Jane wasn't impatient; instead, she talked to him very patiently.

Besides that, Wang Bo also saw, standing beside Mary Jane, a slightly taller boy than Peter Parker, full of confidence.

Wang Bo recognized him too: Harry Osborn, future best friend of Spider-Man, future Green Goblin.

But in this version, this Green Goblin's fate wasn't good: his father was killed by Spider-Man, and he himself would later die saving Spider-Man.

Overall, he was a tragic character.

However, Wang Bo still admired him quite a bit. Among the many versions of the Green Goblin, this guy was probably the most conscientious, but unfortunately, his luck was bad.

Clearly, this person didn't understand the truth of "The good die young, while the wicked live long."

At this moment, Harry was smiling as he watched his friend Peter Parker awkwardly chat with Mary Jane, but when he noticed Wang Bo in the corner of the hallway, his expression suddenly changed.

Because he knew very well that Thompson was no good and often bullied his little buddy.

Although he wasn't afraid of Thompson himself, he couldn't protect his little buddy all the time.

So Harry quietly warned his friend.

Peter Parker quickly noticed Wang Bo, and his expression changed drastically. He had a very bad impression of this person who often bullied him.

But he didn't back down. True, in terms of strength, he was no match for Thompson, but he wasn't afraid of Thompson.

He was bullied by Thompson, yes, but he had never backed down.

Just as Peter Parker was bracing himself to face Thompson's wrath, he was stunned to find that the other person simply turned and walked away.

What was this?

Harry was also surprised and couldn't help saying to Peter, "What did you do?"

Peter Parker said innocently, "I didn't do anything."

Mary Jane, following Peter Parker's gaze, noticed Wang Bo walking away and quickly said sorry to Peter Parker before chasing after him.

Peter Parker looked utterly dejected, and Harry encouraged him, "Maybe we should follow them."
