Chapter 83
Riley: Oh my god, oh my god, it's all my god!
"Is that even a question? Of course, we'll buy a big villa so Uncle Ben and Aunt May can move in and enjoy their retirement early! Hahaha, Riley, I love you to death! If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have earned so much! Come on! Let's go back now and tell Uncle Ben and Aunt May this good news!"
When Riley asked him a question, Peter, his eyes shining, answered without even thinking.
He was so excited that he grabbed Riley, not even wanting to go to school anymore, just wanting to go home immediately to share the good news with May and Ben.
"Then they suspected us of robbing a bank and tried to persuade us to turn ourselves in?"
Riley's first reaction upon seeing Peter wasn't to buy herself all sorts of luxury goods, or to slick her hair back, buy a discounted suit, go clubbing, and incidentally throw some ash in the eyes of people she disliked. Instead, she prioritized her family, and Riley's smile grew even brighter.
However, considering the consequences, Riley felt it wasn't the right time to confront the elders. So, while regaining his footing and no longer letting Peter pull him, he casually reached out and lightly tapped Peter on the head with his other hand.
"Calm down, Peter. If you're going to explain to them exactly where this money came from, wouldn't that be the same as telling them we're doing something very dangerous behind their backs? How are you going to explain that to them then?"
"Uh...that seems right...so what should we do?"
"It's very simple. If you trust me, just lend me this money temporarily."
"Oh? Of course, that's no problem. But what do you plan to do with it?"
With Riley's reminder, Peter gradually calmed down and realized that as a student with no source of income, suddenly receiving such a large sum of money would indeed be difficult to explain to May and Ben without revealing his identity.
That's why, even though I knew that Riley must have prepared a solution for bringing this up suddenly, I was still prepared to take action.
But Peter couldn't suppress his curiosity and pressed Riley for more information.
"Of course, I'd go into the stock market and play the magic trick of making money work for me!"
Fortunately, only Riley, as a time traveler who has a general understanding of the future course of events, can reliably make money through this kind of method.
So, Riley didn't hide anything when Peter asked him.
After confidently taking out his phone, he skillfully opened the stock market app and pointed to Stark Industries, whose stock price had plummeted since Tony Stark's disappearance, explaining to Peter.
"I have reliable intelligence sources. Buying when Stark Industries' stock hits its daily limit down is a guaranteed profit. If you handle it correctly, you might even become a shareholder of Stark Industries... Wait, why are you looking at me like that?"
"No, I was just thinking, we're brothers, so why do you always have so many strange ideas in your head?"
Despite not knowing what the future holds, Peter, like most people, harbors a pessimistic view of Stark Industries without Tony Stark.
After hearing Riley's explanation, Peter, who unconditionally trusted Riley, not only didn't question Riley's choice, but became even more convinced that his net worth was about to skyrocket, and couldn't help but feel curious...
Aside from the Mexico incident, where did Riley, who spends almost every day with me, get all this strange and unusual information from?
"...Hmph, the answer is simple: because I'm your brother~"
"Huh? What kind of answer is that!"
"Hey, that's called a standard answer! Okay, class is about to start, let's hurry inside."
Unfortunately, even Riley, who was devoted to his family, didn't dare tell Peter the secret that he was actually a time traveler.
Whether he believed it or not was one thing, but what Riley was more worried about was that Peter and the others would see him as an outsider who had "usurped" Riley Parker's life.
Even though Riley knew in his heart that, given the Parker family's personalities, the probability of such a scene occurring was less than one in ten million...
But as long as the probability isn't zero, Riley really doesn't dare to take the gamble!
So when Peter casually asked a question, Riley's heart skipped a beat, and she skipped the topic with a clearly sophistry-like answer. She then refused to give Peter a chance to ask further questions and pulled him towards the classroom.
Upon entering the classroom, Peter, who had only recently confirmed their relationship and was deeply in love, only glanced at Gwen before decisively "forgetting his brother for her beauty" and eagerly sat down next to her.
Riley, who had been busy since waking up from her coma, finally calmed down and began to slowly sort out her current gains.
For example, during the operation, there were constant messages, but no time to pay close attention to the system pages.
The good news is that after last night's operation, Riley earned 8000 points for subduing the Super Abomination and 5000 points for resolving the Lizardman crisis. Including the points he had left over, Riley now has 17670 points at his disposal.
Furthermore, considering the exhilarating experience brought about by fully demonstrating speed during last night's operation.
Relying on the power of Spider-Man, and with the further fusion and mutation of his genes, he has unknowingly reached a strength of 15000 points, or 150 tons, resulting in a formidable physical physique.
Riley, who had never fought such a rich battle before, decisively exchanged all 16,000 points for Agility, causing Agility to skyrocket to 300 points!
This means that Riley, when running at full speed, has a speed of 600 kilometers per hour!
It's even faster than the maglev train in Shanghai, China, which travels at 430 kilometers per hour!
The added boost to reaction speed allows Riley to gain a special perspective similar to bullet time when he concentrates!
However, bad news also followed.
By this time, Riley had figured it out.
Whether it was the unexpected mission where he met his dad and the others, or the trip to Mexico where he generously gave Riley 5,000 points, prompting him to change his mind, and the unexpected encounter with Hulk...
The system is so stingy with the points system, only giving a little bit for each day's check-in.
The purpose was to force Riley to make changes and influence the fate of the world.
Therefore, if Riley wants to become stronger, he can also exchange for those powerful-looking items in the shop.
Then we can no longer handle crises passively as before.
Instead, we should actively participate and become an important factor influencing the course of events.
Unfortunately, before meeting the Ancient One, Riley was indeed worried about the existence of her family and whether interfering too much in the world's fate would lead to a worse future. This meant that unless tempted by a huge amount of points, all her choices were more focused on self-preservation than on actively changing anything.
If Riley were to discover the truth in that situation, she might indeed treat such an unexpected mission as a warning of impending danger. Not only would she not participate, but she would also try to stay away to minimize the supervillain's hatred and ensure the safety of her family.
However, after being startled by the Supreme Boiled Egg, Riley actually became more accepting of it.
In any case, being transported to the Marvel Universe is an unchangeable fact. Whether Riley likes it or not, trouble is bound to come knocking sooner or later...
It would be better to think of ways to improve our strength as much as possible before a real crisis strikes!
That's why, when Riley learned where this unexpectedly huge amount of points came from...
As Riley's eyes lit up, his true colors as a modern-day Jia Xu were once again on full display!
Just thinking about the various villains who will appear in the subsequent timeline...
Riley, who is clearly a good guy, gradually has a smile that is even more "kind" than the villains', and he feels that his life is becoming more and more hopeful!
Oh my god, oh my god, it's all my god...
Let go of those gleaming points...
Nonsence!
Let go of that villain! Let me handle this—!!!
