Chapter 1029
In the dim corridor, only the light strip under the bar counter of the bar emitted a faint cold light. The metal walls, full of a sense of technology, appeared overly indifferent in this atmosphere.
When footsteps sounded, Peter, who was sitting by the wall, immediately jumped up from the ground and walked toward the direction the sound came from.
Schiller walked quickly to Peter and asked: "What's going on? Why did Steve suddenly have an episode?"
"I don't know either." Peter appeared somewhat at a loss. He recalled for a moment, then said: "In the morning, we met in the cafeteria. At that time, he was still fine. The two of us chatted for a while about the problem of the flying shuttles. I even wanted to take him to get a bus card. You know, he's a bit unaccustomed to the current fully intelligent process..."
"Didn't S. H. I. E. L. D. issue him an auxiliary cell phone?" Schiller took his own phone out of his white coat pocket. It was vastly different from the current smartphones, looking more like an intelligent terminal.
Although both were thin metal sheets, this intelligent terminal could hover on its own. At the same time, as long as one put the miniature earphone on the side into their ear or wore it on the ear, they could receive intelligent help in real-time.

This auxiliary terminal of Schiller's was connected to Ultron to facilitate his helping all patients establish electronic medical records. At the same time, Ultron could remind him of his daily work schedule at any time and sometimes provide theoretical support.
Most importantly, Schiller had prescription rights. Ultron could audit his prescriptions to ensure that the types and dosages of medicine were correct.
Besides this, intelligent robots could do more when paired with intelligent terminals. It was just that due to the special nature of intelligent robots, they could not provide more help during the psychological consultation process, so Schiller didn't use that many functions.
But for ordinary people, this was already an extremely convenient tool. Although there was no large-scale civilian promotion yet, S. H. I. E. L. D. employees like Schiller, Natasha, and Steve had already been issued this equipment first to facilitate their work.
But Peter appeared a bit surprised and said: "Is that so? The Captain has already received an intelligent terminal? But I haven't seen him use it?"
Peter shook his head, but Schiller looked into his eyes and asked: "What is different about you from this morning?"
"What's different?" Peter was stunned by his question. He turned his head to look left and right, then looked down at himself, thought for a moment, and said with a sudden realization: "Oh... I remember! Look at my uniform!"
Peter was wearing the Spider-Man suit at this time, just without the mask. Schiller stepped back two steps and looked him over, seeing no difference. Peter said somewhat helplessly: "This is my original uniform, the uniform of the first Spider-Man..."
"Doctor, have you forgotten? The first Spider-Man already died in battle. In order to protect the citizens within the impact range of the Nitro explosion, he had already sacrificed himself. I came back a bit late and didn't even grab the spot for the second generation. Now I am the third-generation Spider-Man."
After Peter finished speaking, he himself felt it was a bit absurd and revealed a self-deprecating smile.
The situation was indeed as he said. Previously, in the plan Schiller had laid out, only Spider-Man was publicly dead, which meant that the identity of the first Spider-Man was socially dead.
Later, in order to infiltrate the interior of the superheroes, the Skrulls sent some members to disguise themselves as superheroes and act chivalrously over New York. Among them were those disguised as Spider-Man, who were called the second-generation Spider-Man by the people.
Now, among the remaining Skrulls stranded on Earth, one part chose to stay on Earth to participate in human scientific research and development activities, while the other part headed to the Dark Quadrant where Thanos originally was, intending to re-establish a nation and follow the path of the ancient Skrull Empire.
The Skrulls who had turned into Spider-Man also left. Thus, the second-generation Spider-Man disappeared. And the first-generation Spider-Man, which was Peter, after he was resurrected, could no longer use his previous identity to operate, so he called himself the third-generation Spider-Man.
Originally, Peter didn't intend to change his suit, but Gwen was worried that if he wore the first-generation Spider-Man's suit, he would be scolded very severely, so she suggested he change his image slightly.
As it happened, after several years of growth, Peter had become more mature and felt that the suit he originally designed was a bit childish, so he redesigned a set.
This Spider-Man suit appeared more advanced, using the latest technology researched by the Stark Group and Peter himself. Overall, it was smoother and more reflective than the previous first-generation suit.
More importantly, Peter adjusted the hue of the blue, making it deeper, and the red also became a bit darker. He added four invisible molten steel protective armors to his chest. At the important parts of his neck and joints, he utilized the technology researched by Otto that converted energy into substance to add protection, adding a layer of safety to the suit.
Looking at it this way, Spider-Man's image was no longer so youthful and lively, but instead leaned closer to Captain America's steady image. Although in the ranks of superheroes, one could still see his youth and agility at a glance, compared to before, it appeared more technological and steadier.
The New York public's acceptance of the subsequent generations of Spider-Man was not very good. There were even rumors that the third-generation Spider-Man was some rich second-generation playboy from who knows where, which was why he could wear such an advanced suit like Iron Man. But in fact, except for certain suspension power systems and safety systems, all the technology used in the suit was Peter's own patent.
Schiller recalled for a moment and also discovered the subtle difference between these two suits, so he looked at Peter with some confusion and asked: "Why aren't you wearing the new suit?"
Peter curled his lips and said: "Any new technological achievement needs to be tested. In the process of testing, it is inevitable that various problems will arise. At noon today, I was patrolling over New York in the new suit..."
"The stations for the flying shuttles and inter-city trains are the locations I focus on patrolling. Doctor, you should have seen it on the news. Some lunatics are particularly opposed to these two types of transportation and even hold bombs wanting to blow them up."
"Although the flying shuttles and inter-city trains both have fall protection devices, no one knows if any more serious consequences would be caused if important parts were blown up. So, I have been patrolling near the routes..."
Peter revealed a somewhat worried expression and said: "Just at noon today, I saw a person holding explosives rush into a flying shuttle. I wanted to go over and subdue him on the spot, but who knew, the new suit's safety protection device suddenly popped out and jammed my web-shooter..."
"Originally, I could have swung over in a few seconds, but the shooter was jammed. I had no webs and could only run with my feet. Although I arrived quickly, at that time, the matter had already subsided."
"So, I could only send the suit to S. H. I. E. L. D. for inspection to see what exactly triggered the safety system, why it popped out in violation of the rules, and why it jammed my web-shooter..."
Peter covered his forehead and said: "The updating of technology is not that simple. The intelligent safety system is not bad; it has already helped me resist two impacts. But if it always pops out for no reason, it will delay important matters."
Schiller patted Peter on the shoulder and said: "It doesn't matter, the suit is just an auxiliary. What's important is your own ability. Look, you're wearing the old suit, and your combat power won't drop..."
Peter stretched out his finger and tugged at the suit on his chest, then said: "I am indeed more used to this suit, but it seems the citizens of New York aren't used to it. When I just came over, quite a few people scolded me, saying I was grandstanding and exploiting the dead..."
Schiller smiled somewhat helplessly and said: "Alright, this matter is my fault. But to be honest, I didn't expect you to throw yourself directly onto Nitro. Originally, I had arranged for mutants to resolve the explosion."
Schiller shook his head, clearly feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the imperfection of his own plan. But Peter instead comforted him: "Doctor, I know that all your plans are for the future of humanity. But before, the words of the Amazing Spider-Man made me think a lot."
"The future of humanity is certainly very important, but the lives of ordinary people also need to be worried about. If Nitro had really exploded like that, then the ordinary people who were threatened would never see the future again. Then wouldn't everything we did be meaningless?"
Peter sighed, but it wasn't out of worry; it was more like a firmness after deep thought. He said: "You, Tony, Steve, or perhaps Natasha and Director Nick, you are all fighting for a beautiful future for humanity."
"Then I also want to strive for every tomorrow of ordinary people, because I am also just an ordinary person who understands their joys and troubles." Peter smiled and said.
"I have seen the sea of stars and appreciated the charm of knowledge, but I am still more willing to be a vulgar person and protect those who are as ordinary as I am."
Schiller revealed a smile and patted his shoulder again. In just a few short years, Peter's growth rate had surprised everyone.
However, this was also very normal. Peter Parker could be said to be the one among all the superheroes and intelligence officers Schiller knew who had the soundest personality, the most stable spirit, and a character most suited to the society of ordinary people.
Facts proved that as long as the software was stable enough, the lacking hardware could all be made up for. Knowledge and experience could be supplemented through time, and psychological quality and willpower could be honed. As long as a person could think things through, there was nothing that couldn't be learned.
Speaking of this, Peter seemed to have remembered something and said: "Could it be that the Captain is like this because of my suit?"
After speaking, he looked down at his own suit again, stretched out both hands to pull up the abdominal part, and then said: "Is there something wrong with this suit? Although it's a bit uglier compared to the new suit, it shouldn't be..."
Suddenly, Peter stopped. He looked at Schiller and said: "Is it because... of my previous death?"
"Perhaps there is a certain reason, but it is not the fundamental cause." Schiller judged: "Whether it is you or his own death, they are only stimuli, not the cause of the illness. The key still lies in Steve's own contradictions."
Peter scratched his head somewhat confusedly and said: "The Captain's own contradictions? What contradictions does he have? I feel he is simply a perfect person!"
"The problem lies right here. Is there really a perfect person in this world?" Schiller looked at Peter and asked: "Even you feel Steve is a perfect person, or rather, even you subconsciously treat him as a perfect person. Then how do you think he demands of himself?"
Peter touched his chin and pondered for a moment, saying: "Doctor, I remembered a detail..."
"Just this morning while eating, I asked the Captain if he had gotten a bus card, but he immediately pulled me to sit at a seat to the side, unwilling to discuss this problem at the crowded cafeteria window..."
Peter said while recalling: "When I introduced the principle of the bus card to him, he didn't seem to be listening carefully either. I said I wanted to take him to get a card, and he said he had an appointment with Miss Carter..."
"But today, when I sent the suit to S. H. I. E. L. D. for inspection, Miss Carter was still complaining that Steve had turned down her invitation for a date..."
Schiller turned to look into the room at the Avengers base. He patted Peter on the back and then said: "Go, Peter. Remember not to tell others about Steve's current situation..."
Peter nodded. He saw Schiller walk into the room. He frowned, revealing a trace of worry inconsistent with his age, and then turned and left.
