Chapter 1284: The Interstellar Grand Stage (Part 8)

"Of course, in order to establish a healthier exchange system, S. H. I. E. L. D. in this world has built a 'Spider Administration' specifically for Spider-Men. Every Spider-Man who comes to this universe must register their identity and specialties there, and then conduct two-way selection with laboratories and discipline leaders. Simply put, it's job hunting."

"After obtaining a position, Spider-Man can enter the laboratory. At first, they are definitely acting as assistants, familiarizing themselves with the scientific research process of this universe. This is necessary because the research process here may exceed your imagination. Many projects require boarding spaceships, going to Mercury, or even going to the Andromeda galaxy, and many Spider-Men haven't even left Earth."

"After the initial adaptation stage, Spider-Men will gradually start to lead projects independently. Of course, every Spider-Man who comes here has a 6-month service period. During the service period, whatever technology this universe needs, Spider-Men will research whatever technology."

"The results of the research are shared by them personally and the scientific research department of this universe. The finished products produced can also be taken away. But for most Spider-Men, taking them away is useless. After all, our universe doesn't have spaceships that can use any advanced coatings."

"But after 6 months, we can start free research, choose the fields we need, and establish independent project groups and laboratories. At this time, we can serve the status quo of our own universe. The research results are completely owned by individuals, and the scientific research organizations of this universe will select useful research results from them for purchase."

"Of course, money is not used to purchase Spider-Men's technology. The history of each universe is different, and currencies are not universal. They will also conduct technical exchanges. Spider-Men can choose the technology they need in the technology library of this department or this company, and then exchange it with their own technology."

"There are also many Spider-Men who specifically work for a certain company for a certain technology. They will agree on the length of service and the requirements for results. The agreement is witnessed and supervised by S. H. I. E. L. D. After completing the service, Spider-Men can take the technology they want back to their own universe."

"There are also some Spider-Men who choose to exchange for materials, especially magical materials, which are extremely precious."

"Most Spider-Men don't use magic, and in their universe, magical energy is also a very rare material. Magicians have to pay a huge price and endure a lot of pain to get a little bit of energy. But Spider-Men only need to work here for a month to bring back a bunch of magical items, and they are all fully charged."

"Later, S. H. I. E. L. D. felt that such a one-to-one or many-to-many method was a bit troublesome, so they simply established a 'Credit System'. Of course, they don't call this credits, but something like 'Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division Spider-Man Department' points, but we abbreviate it as 'credits'."

"All departments and companies within the plan will provide credits for Spider-Men who work. Credits are calculated based on duration and results. The credits obtained will be recorded on this specialized 'Spider App'."

Gwen took out her phone, pointed to an icon on it, and said, "Look, look here, this is my current credit. Below it also records the department I am currently working in, the duration of work, and the results that have been recorded. It will be updated on the 1st of every month."

"When a project is completed, the points will be in the bag. Then, look here, there is a mall. I can directly spend points to purchase various technologies in the mall."

"After purchasing, here, the address bar will tell me where to pick up the materials or technology, or I can spend more points to request them to deliver to the door. That's right, it's delivered to my universe."

Gwen leaned her body forward, looked seriously into Reilly's eyes, and said, "This sounds idealistic, right? But I must tell you that changes have already occurred. Really, quite a few Spider-Men have changed their worlds by coming here to study, including me."

"I said before that Silk in our universe united many villains to establish a company. They used those evil technologies to obtain illegal income to control public opinion, bribe newspapers and reporters, and constantly published articles in newspapers to smear me."

"Of course, I can rush into their company and beat them up, but the next day's newspaper headline will write that I am a terrorist lunatic who will endanger entrepreneurs and businessmen. So the situation will become even more difficult. I even almost became a fugitive."

"In fact, when I became Spider-Man, I was still a high school student, and I hadn't encountered such things. Just when I felt helpless, the Spider-Man of this world suggested that I spend credits to purchase strategic and tactical support provided by S. H. I. E. L. D."

Reilly widened his eyes and said, "Can you also purchase tactical support? How does that support work?"

"Yes, here you can not only buy strategic plans, tactical plans, medical resources, material resources, but you can even spend credits to do psychological therapy. I think it is very necessary. There is the most powerful psychologist in the entire multiverse here. His words simply made me suddenly enlightened."

"He provided you with strategic support?" Reilly asked somewhat surprised, "How can a psychologist be proficient in these?"

"He is proficient in more than just these." Gwen smiled somewhat proudly and said, "Financial services are too expensive, I can't afford them yet, but I heard that he helped the Amazing Spider-Man get more than 200 million US dollars in military spending from the US military in their universe. The Amazing Spider-Man used this money as his start-up capital to establish a specialized Spider Laboratory to provide more technical support for the Avengers there..."

"Oh, I've gone too far. I was talking about my own affairs. The strategic support I obtained made me figure out one thing: I should use the same means as them to deal with them. They open companies, and I open companies."

"As long as my company operates better than theirs, has more partners than them, and technology is more powerful than them, then I can seize their market and suppress the source of their illegal income from the root."

"More importantly, the experience in this universe broadened my horizons, letting me know that partners are not limited to those companies in this country. I am more willing to carry out business extensively internationally and conduct multi-party cooperation than them. Many countries are interested in certain technologies in my hands."

"Because I am more important, those who smear me naturally become jealous of me. They cannot compete with me in the field of technology, and their business cannot beat me. They can only go back to the old way of swinging fists, but unfortunately..."

Gwen-Spider shrugged and revealed a playful smile, saying, "Now, they can't beat me even if they swing their fists, or rather, I don't use fists anymore. I use this."

Gwen-Spider pulled a wand from the pocket behind her uniform cape. Reilly immediately leaned over and asked curiously, "I wanted to ask just now, what is this thing? Why did it suddenly emit a beam of light and trap me in that cage? Why couldn't I break the bars?"

"This is a wand." Gwen turned the wand nimbly in her hand and said, "You might not have any concept if I say it like this. Handgun, you understand, right?"

Reilly nodded. Gwen said, "This is the magic version of a handgun. Simply put, magicians use seeds modified by certain energies to grow a type of plant specifically used for making materials. The various attributes of this plant meet the requirements of the gun body itself."

"Magicians smelt them and make them into the shell of a handgun, and then use the magic power obtained from trading with cosmic demons to make bullets, and then use magic technology to apply propulsion to this type of bullet."

"And the bullet itself also contains a special technology. After the wand pushes the bullet away from the wand body, the bullet will expand to form various magic. For example, the 'Prison Lock' magic that trapped you is a type of magic array used for imprisonment."

"And the reason why you couldn't break the bars is because the energy contained in the bullet can directly communicate with the energy channel of Kamar-Taj after it expands, and the energy channel is directly connected to the cooperating demon. The Sanctum Sanctorum has determined the transaction amount with every cooperating demon and regularly provides them with rewards and services."

"As long as the transaction amount has not reached the upper limit, the magical energy from the demon will not be exhausted, but will be continuously replenished. Therefore, although your impact may cause loss of magical energy, you cannot open the cage before the energy is exhausted."

Reilly was simply dumbfounded, but soon his genius brain made him react. He said, "Network traffic?"

Gwen nodded and said, "That's right, it's traffic. According to different levels, wands have different traffic packages. The amount of traffic in the traffic package represents the strength of casting magic and the duration of the magic."

"After Kamar-Taj makes the wands, they hang the wands on various apps. For example, Spider-Man has a Spider App, Doctor Octopus has an Octopus App, and we can all use credits to purchase this type of wand."

"And after buying the wand, we also have to buy bullets. We can choose different types of magic according to our needs. For example, Spider-Man doesn't kill, so the 'Prison Lock' magic is the best-selling magic."

Gwen-Spider opened that app again, opened the mall page, and then clicked on sales. She pointed it to Reilly to see and said, "Look, I especially like the mall function of this app. I heard it was jointly developed with China. Its convenience lies in being able to see the purchasing tendencies and evaluations of Spider-Men in various regions and various types."

Reilly looked at Gwen's phone screen. Below the product details, he saw one evaluation after another. These evaluations not only had nicknames but also avatars, most of which were various spider masks. The content of the evaluations was also very consistent with the Spider-Man style of speaking.

"Of course, these wands are sold very expensively, and bullets are not infinite. You need to buy them again after using them up, and traffic packages also charge fees." Gwen's tone lowered again, appearing somewhat helpless.

"Now you know how that doctor cheated 200 million US dollars in military spending. Oh my god, I worked for two months before I could afford three bullets!"

"But it's really great, I can't refuse it." Gwen spread her hands and said, "Who can refuse to pull out a wand from their arms, shout the name of the magic, and trap the opponent when everyone is fighting together?"

Reilly swallowed. Just imagining this scene already made him feel tempted. In fact, every mage has a melee dream, and every melee has a mage dream. Spider-Man's biggest disadvantage is their lack of long-range means.

Although it's cool to fight flesh-to-flesh, it's cooler to fly like an immortal, isn't it?
