, let's have two more shots to liven things up.

He pushed his way forward with all his might.

"Excuse me! Please!"

The security guard frowned and reached out to stop the arrogant brat: "Hey! Back off! Kid! This isn't a place for you!"

"Please! I just want... I just want to see him!" The boy's face turned red with anxiety, and he clutched a "Homelander" comic book that was already soaked with sweat in his hand.

Just as the security guard was getting impatient and preparing to drag him out.

"etc."

A gentle voice pierced through the noisy crowd.

Wu Yanzu stopped in his tracks.

He turned around, his deep blue eyes falling on the boy.

Seeing this, the security guard released the little boy, and Azu also walked over to him.

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

As Wu Yanzu approached, the boy felt like he was suffocating.

The unattainable "god" he had seen in movies and comics was now standing right in front of him.

So tall, so dazzling... every star on the cloak seemed to be shining.

"Are you here to see me, young man?"

Wu Yanzu squatted down, bringing his line of sight to the boy's, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"I...I..."

The boy stuttered. He was never good with words, and now his tongue was tied in knots.

"Don't be nervous, child. What's your name?"

"Peter, sir," the boy swallowed nervously, "Peter Parker."

"..."

Wu Yanzu's smile froze for 0.1 seconds.

Peter Parker? Spider-Man? Holy crap!

His X-ray vision swept across the boy's entire body in that instant.

"Skeletal structure...normal. No abnormalities. Heart rate...fast, but that's due to stress. Adrenaline...normal."

"Oh, by the way, he hasn't been bitten yet."

"Peter Parker..." Wu Yanzu chewed on the name, his eyes deep.

"A good name."

He held out his hand: "Can I see what you have in your hand, Peter?"

"Huh? Oh! Of course! Here...here you go!" Peter hurriedly handed over the comic book, almost dropping it because he was so nervous.

Wu Yanzu caught the comic book steadily.

That was the first issue of Homelander, and the cover was worn and frayed, clearly indicating that the owner had read it countless times.

"It seems you really like it." Wu Yanzu smiled and took a gold pen from his assistant.

"Where would you like me to sign?"

"Cover! No... title page! Any... anywhere is fine!" Peter was so excited he almost cried.

Wu Yanzu opened the title page.

He didn't just hastily sign his name like he would when signing autographs for others.

He paused for a moment, the pen tip hovering over the paper.

A moment later, he began to write.

The brushstrokes are fluid and powerful, the characters vigorous and forceful.

"To my like-minded friend, Peter."

Never let the world change you.

"— Homelander"

Wu Yanzu closed the comic and handed it back to Peter.

"friend……?"

Peter stared at the words and was completely dumbfounded.

Like-minded friends?

Homelander... call him a friend?

"Look," Wu Yanzu pointed to Peter's chest, his tone becoming serious and sincere, "I can hear your heartbeat, Peter."

Peter was startled and clutched his chest.

"It jumps fast and powerfully." Wu Yanzu's eyes were fixed on Peter, as if he could see into his soul. "But I saw more than just tension. I saw...potential."

Wu Yanzu reached out and gently placed his hand on Peter's thin shoulder.

"This world is full of power, Peter."

"Some people possess power, yet they use it to bully the weak."

"Some people possess power, yet choose to turn a blind eye."

"But you..." Wu Yanzu's voice lowered, as if it were the teachings of a godfather, "...your eyes tell me that if you had the power, you would make the right choice."

"Just like in the movies... With great power comes great responsibility."

"Remember this, Peter. It is both a curse and a gift for people like us."

boom--!!!

These words were like a nuclear bomb, detonating deep within Peter Parker's young and sensitive mind!

Peter finally couldn't hold back his tears and they streamed down his face.

Looking at the man before him, who was as dazzling as the sun, he felt as if the blood in his body was burning.

He wasn't an unwanted bookworm.

He is not a useless person who can only be bullied.

Homelander…the hero who saved the world, he's a like-minded friend! He…has potential!

"I...I'll remember!"

Peter Parker gripped the comic book tightly and shouted with all his might.

"I swear, Mr. Homelander! I will... I will definitely not let you down!"

"I believe in you, child."

Wu Yanzu straightened up and finally ruffled Peter's messy hair.

"Alright, Peter Parker," Azu winked at him, "Go home, your parents must be worried."

"I...I only have Aunt May..."

"Then don't let your Aunt May worry." Azu smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Go on."

"...Yes! Yes! Thank you! Mr. Homelander! Thank you!!"

Peter Parker, it's like a dream.

"I can see...someday in the future, you will be standing beside me. Together...we will make this world a better place."

After saying this, Wu Yanzu flicked his cloak, turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.

Peter Parker was left standing there alone, clutching the signed comic book tightly in his arms, as if he were holding the whole world in his arms.

Watching that red and blue figure disappear into the distance, Peter Parker took off his glasses and wiped away a tear.

His eyes changed.

It was the look in their eyes that...had found faith.

"Homelander..." Peter murmured to himself.

"I want to...become a hero like you too."

……

"Ding! Special popularity points gained +50000!"

"Ding! Detected absolute bond with the special character 'Spider-Man'!"

"Ding! Hidden reward obtained: Spider-Sense!"

Wu Yanzu, who was already sitting in the extended Lincoln, almost burst out laughing when he heard the notification sound.

"Fifty thousand? That's fifty thousand already?"

"And...spider-sense? The legendary Peter's Sense?"

He closed his eyes and instantly felt that the world around him had changed.

The movement of the air, the sound of paparazzi shutters in the distance, and even the sound of a passerby spilling coffee a few hundred meters away, all fed back to his brain as subtle "warning" signals.

This was like adding wings to a tiger, especially for someone who already possessed super senses!

"This little spider... it's really a treasure."

Wu Yanzu was in a great mood and casually opened the car refrigerator, taking out a bottle of champagne.

Mentally reciting the system panel's message, the system announced: "Current Special Popularity Value: 87000".

"Twenty minutes to Beverly Hills," Azu thought to himself. "On such a good day, I have to have a couple of rounds to liven things up."

"System, open the Superhero Blind Box."

"Two consecutive draws."

"Consuming 60000 Special Popularity Points... Performing a second consecutive 'Superhero Blind Box' draw..."
