Reward: 100 points, randomly awaken a skill. (First-time task completion reward; once all skills are awakened, rewards expire.)
2: Greater power brings greater responsibility. I will create large-scale chaos in this city. (Forget Superman—I am the true "Homeland Hero"!)
Reward: 100 points, randomly awaken an ability.
3: Maintain the status quo. Stay put and continue developing. (I am the Sage of Survival.)
Additional benefit: For one day, the efficiency of sunlight absorption is increased tenfold.
4: Forget all tasks—I'll do whatever I want!
Reward: Live a free and unrestricted life. (Choose carefully.)
"…"
Peter paused, staring at the task options on the system panel.
"These first two options offer rich rewards, but I live on a farm in the suburbs, far from the city center… so even if I wanted to act, I couldn't."
"Moreover, my newly awakened Steel Body can barely withstand shotgun pellets. That's too risky and makes it easier to reveal my identity."
As for the fourth option, any smart person could see the catch: you may pick it today, but the system could discard you tomorrow, giving you freedom at a cost.
Peter had no hesitation.
"Choose option three."
[Congratulations, Host! Task complete. Reward granted: "Your ability to absorb sunlight is increased tenfold for one day, activating precisely at midnight." (Note: Violating task rules or revealing your powers to others will immediately terminate the reward.)]
"Efficiency of sunlight absorption increased tenfold. Tomorrow, my power will grow dramatically."
In just one day, Peter's body became extremely strong, capable of withstanding ordinary bullets.Tenfold efficiency meant that one day felt like ten—Peter could barely imagine how powerful he would become.
"It's a pity the reward time cannot be paused or accumulated. Sunlight is only available during the day, so the effective time is halved."
"If it rains tomorrow, things will be even harder."
Peter drifted off to sleep, anticipating the next day. Even as he slept, his body underwent rapid, visible changes.
His once-slender frame transformed completely.He grew a few centimeters taller overnight.Muscle definition appeared for the first time—full eight-pack abs, steel-like arms.His chest muscles could rival any top athlete in the world.
But such drastic overnight changes made Peter uneasy when he awoke.
"This is going to be hard to hide…"
Chapter Six: Superman and Spider-Man Appear
The scene: a rural road leading out of the suburbs.
An old Chevrolet carried a family of three. This time, they were returning from the farm to their home in Queens, New York.
Peter felt differently than when he had arrived at the farm.
"I have difficulty accepting failure. Life has taught me only time provides the answers…"
His right hand rested on the window, tapping along with the soft rhythm of music.Sunlight streamed in, bathing his face in golden dust.
Peter watched the changing scenery, emotions ebbing and flowing.He squinted, savoring the moment's calm.He didn't complain about the old car this time.
"Every place with sunlight is paradise," he thought.
Eventually, all journeys must end. Hours passed, perhaps, and when Peter opened his eyes again, the view outside had transformed.
Skyscrapers now loomed ahead.Pedestrians and cars, once sparse, filled the streets.The chatter of the crowd and honking cars blended into a bustling symphony.
It reminded Peter of the unforgettable events from the day before.
"New York City… the most famous city in the Marvel Universe."
Seeing it with his own eyes, he felt awe.Soon, this city would become the most dangerous in the Marvel Universe, as the wormholes in the sky would unleash countless Chitauri forces.
"Fortunately, that playboy hasn't been kidnapped yet. I have time to grow stronger before the crisis hits."
"Even if the crisis comes, my strength surpasses Captain Wu Wukai, enough to protect myself and my family."
Having awakened some Superman powers, Peter wasn't worried.
Suddenly, the screech of tires on asphalt caught his attention.
"Thankfully, it's not an accident."
Realizing it wasn't a car crash, Peter abandoned any plan to show off his abilities and focused on protecting Uncle Ben and Aunt May.He pretended to be jolted by sudden braking and asked anxiously, "Uncle Ben, what happened?"
"Sorry, Peter. I didn't expect a group of pedestrians to suddenly appear."
Uncle Ben had never imagined encountering a protest while driving peacefully.
Peter still didn't understand the protest's purpose.Suddenly, a person wearing a Spider-Man mask jumped to the car window.
"Hey, kid. You look like a high schooler like me. Come cheer for Spider-Man with us!"
"Sorry, I won't."
Peter held back the urge to punch him and politely declined.
"Alright, suit yourself. Hope you join our Spider-Man fan group someday."
The masked figure tossed something into the car, then moved on, chanting "Spider-Man is the defender of justice!"
"We missed something incredible," Peter thought, holding the red Spider-Man mask. A faint smile appeared on his face.
That night, Peter lay in bed. The system refreshed, and a new task appeared:
[1: Demonstrate to the world that you are a kind-hearted superhero, solve a crime on the spot, and shout "I am Superman!"]
Reward: 100 points, randomly awaken a power.
2: Great power leads to arrogance.3: …
The options were almost identical to previous tasks.
"Looks like if I keep choosing option three, tasks won't refresh automatically."
Peter spent the entire week on the farm, completing his third option repeatedly.
"Open my panel."
