Chapter 013: The Third Dream

Spider-Gwen didn't find it difficult to locate the Batcave.

According to her, after she came to this world, the place where she appeared was... the Batcave!

That's right, Spider-Gwen never needed to look for the Batcave in the first place, because the place where she logged into this world was the Batcave itself. And after learning that this world was the Batman world, Spider-Gwen settled down in the Batcave.

To make her stay more comfortable, Spider-Gwen also brought quite a few things from outside: a bed, a sofa, a coffee table, a silent generator, and even pots, pans, and dishes.

She had turned the entire Batcave into a decent living hostel.

The only downside was that the overall environment was a bit dark and gloomy.

But for Spider-Gwen, this didn't really matter. Although it was a bit dim here, it was safe.

But Wang Bo said that he could not stay in the bat cave.

Because he didn't like the gloomy environment here at all.

"I think I can go live on Naihe Island. Although the living conditions there are a bit poor and the environment is a bit chaotic, it's still not bad, and the Falcone family's strength on Naihe Island is actually not that great."

Faced with Wang Bo's proposal, Spider-Gwen looked shocked.

"Are you serious?"

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Wang Bo retorted.

"No, it's nothing." Gwen the Spider thought for a moment and decided that Wang Bo was right. She sighed and said, "If you don't want to stay here, I can take you to Naihe Island tonight."

"Thanks!" Wang Bo said. "But there's no need to see me off. I have legs of my own; I can walk there."

Spider-Gwen: "...All right, then."

Time moved on to evening, and when the sky outside had completely darkened and the stars filled the sky, Wang Bo took his leave of Spider-Gwen.

"Are you really not planning to join me in taking down the Falcone family?"

Spider-Gwen decided to make one last attempt to persuade him. 'You're very powerful. If we join forces, we can definitely crush the entire Falcone family.'

However, Wang Bo would not change his mind so easily. "No, I have no interest in fighting crime. And as far as I know, Bruce Wayne will be back soon. Then you can take down the Falcone family together. I believe that if the two of you join forces, you will be unstoppable."

Yes, if Batman's high-tech is combined with Spider-Gwen's strength, then the Falcone family, the Joker, Scarecrow, Hush, and Harley Quinn would all be no match for the two of them.

"All right."

Seeing that Wang Bo was absolutely unwilling to agree, Spider-Gwen finally gave up trying to persuade him.

People have their own aspirations; if the other party is unwilling, she cannot force it.

After leaving the Batcave, Wang Bo ran wildly in a certain direction; he did not head for Naihe Island.

Because he knew very well that although Naihe Island was safe, the living environment was too poor.

So he changed his mind.

Although the Falcone family wielded considerable power throughout all of Gotham City, it was limited to Gotham City alone, so Wang Bo planned to leave Gotham City.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away; no matter how powerful the Falcone family is, they cannot extend their reach to other cities.

So Wang Bo fled overnight, left Gotham City, and arrived at the next city by daybreak.

Gotham City is located in the state of New Jersey on the East Coast of the United States.

And the closest place to Gotham City is Metropolis!

That's right, it's Metropolis, where Superman Clark Kent lives.

But this world is Batman's world. Although Metropolis exists, there is no Superman in Metropolis.

So this city is very safe.

Wang Bo arrived in this city and settled down here. He sold some of the gold he had found in the Mummy world and bought an ordinary apartment in the metropolis.

This was a duplex apartment, fully furnished, with a pleasant environment. Wang Bo was quite satisfied with it.

From now on, this would be his home.

Wang Bo would stay at home during the day, watching TV, reading novels, or playing games. At night, he would wander around Metropolis, taking in its famous landmarks.

For instance, the headquarters of the Daily Planet, which is where Superman works.

Unfortunately, there is no superman in this world.

Another time when Wang Bo passed by the Daily Planet, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly thought of something.

This world has no superheroes, but isn't one oneself a superhero?

What if one simply pretended to be Superman, walked into the Daily Planet, and continued the legend, bringing Superman into this world?

But this thought flickered and vanished, quickly cast to the winds by Wang Bo. Why had he left Gotham City in the first place, if not to live an ordinary life?

Now suddenly wanting to play Superman would be nothing but asking for trouble.

A mundane life suits him better after all.

Every day he woke up, ate, avoided too much sun, watched TV, and played video games—life was very comfortable.

But even so, his strength kept rising and rising.

The breathing technique of Ripple Qigong was practically cheating for Wang Bo, as if he were basking in the sun twenty-four hours a day.

The terrifying, meteoric rise in strength.

Half a month after arriving in the Metropolis, Wang Bo's strength officially exceeded ten tons, and his speed broke through the hundred-meter mark. In other words, when he now runs at full speed, he can cover a hundred meters in one second.

One-third the speed of sound!

For ordinary people, this is absolutely an unattainable speed.

Moreover, his eyesight and hearing had improved terrifyingly; he could see the flight path of a fly three thousand meters away, as well as the flapping of its wings.

He could also hear every sound within a radius of one thousand meters.

This might be insignificant for a true superhuman, after all, a true superhuman possesses light speed, can see dust on the moon, and can hear sounds from any corner of the Earth.

However, for ordinary people, Wang Bo was already terrifyingly powerful.

Crushing ordinary humans posed no problem at all.

Especially Wang Bo's steel-like body was growing harder and harder; sometimes he even suspected that his current body might already be able to defend against bullets.

However, for the sake of his own safety, Wang Bo did not attempt to shoot himself with a pistol.

What if his body wasn't yet tough enough to withstand bullets, and he shot himself—wouldn't he be injured? He wasn't that reckless.

So Wang Bo suppressed the restless thoughts in his heart and continued to live a plain and simple life.

A few more days passed, and the third dream finally arrived.

That night, as Wang Bo fell asleep, he had another dream. This time he dreamed that he had turned into a monster.

And it was an extremely powerful monster at that.
