Chapter 12

But she can't say it out loud.

Thinking that she really has something bothering her recently, Gwen says, "Jessica, you also saw the report about Black Spider, right? Because of Black Spider, my dad doesn't like Ghost-Spider much either."

"What does that have to do with you?"

Jessica puts her arm around Gwen's shoulder and teases with a smile, "Are you also a fan of Ghost-Spider?"

"Fan?...... Ah, I guess so."

Gwen says reluctantly.

Being a fan of oneself or something... is too shameful.

Gwen is also a fan of Ghost-Spider—Jessica comes up with an idea.

She starts typing on her phone, tap-tap-tap, to send a message to her brother.

On the other side.

Manhattan Fifth Avenue.

In a luxuriously decorated high-end studio.

"Dr. Banner, it's not close for me to come to the studio from home."

Looking at the man visiting him, Ye Li tries to stay calm: "I usually only come once or twice a week, so I hope you're not joking with me; you really want to learn painting from me?"

That's right, sitting in front of him is Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk.

Although he is confident that he can handle the Hulk before he is strengthened to a certain degree, he is also afraid that the green guy will come out and tear down the studio.

This is also the reason why he chose to meet at his nominal workplace after receiving the news, instead of at home.

If it weren't for the system, Ye Li wouldn't want to see this doctor at all.

To be honest, he is already regretting it a bit now.

Although the Hulk template is fierce, it's an eyesore.

Not to mention the constant clothes-ripping, and he's green all over..

And getting familiar with Banner, being defined by the system as Banner's 【Extraordinary Connection】, is not something that will happen overnight.

Without this identity prerequisite, he naturally cannot trigger Banner's tasks.

"Yes, Mr. Ye Li."

Banner's expression looks somewhat decadent, "It is said that the art of painting can calm people down, and I want to try it."

"If your emotions are unstable, I think you should find a doctor to take a look."

Ye Li is noncommittal, "Painting can indeed cleanse the soul sometimes."

"But it might also make you more and more irritable."

"For example, Vincent Willem van Gogh, everyone knows this."

"Dr. Banner, do you need me to give other examples?"

Banner nods.

"I know this might not work."

"But I have already tried many methods to control my emotions, and trying this one won't hurt."

You have nothing to lose, I might have something to lose.

Ye Li is about to say something else when his phone pings.

Only messages from Jessica and the others have message reminders set, so he picks it up and takes a look.

It's a message from Jessica:

【Li, I want to start a Ghost-Spider fan club!】

【Don't you also like Ghost-Spider quite a bit? Can you help draw a Ghost-Spider poster?】

【I plan to announce this at the party tonight.】

【Hehe~ Gwen is also a fan of Ghost-Spider, I will definitely give her a surprise.】

I guess she really will be surprised by you...

Ye Li has to admire that Jessica has so many crazy ideas.

Gwen is a fan of Ghost-Spider? Hehe, very interesting.

He turns to the computer on the side with interest.

To make a big poster tonight, hand-drawing won't work; he has to use software assistance.

"Banner, I agree."

Ye Li says while operating the computer: "You can work as an assistant here for now, until you feel it's useless."

Banner shows a smile, "Thanks, Ye."

Don't mention it.

Free labor, might as well use it.

Perspective returns to Midtown High School.

Gwen and the others have already started class.

The person in charge of lecturing on the podium is a middle-aged man with one arm, his name is Curtis Curt Connors.

The level of a biology professor allows him to have unique insights into some knowledge points, and he is like a fish in water while lecturing in class.

Gwen listens very carefully; when she was interning at the Osborn Group during the summer, she was learning from this Dr. Connors.
