Chapter 43: Max Blows Up! Clever Use of System Rules!
Max recalled, "It's you! You bastard who touched Spider Silk Girl!"
Spider Silk Girl was his nickname for Cindy. That day, when Ye Li's hand reached Cindy's chest, Max had held a grudge ever since.
Later, when Max couldn't find any trace of Cindy online, he tried to look up Ye Li's information to indirectly find her.
Unfortunately, after gaining hacker skills, Ye Li monitored his online information well and could detect anyone frequently searching for him.
Ye Li didn't want Max to find him, so by blocking Max's accounts, devices, and IP addresses, Max couldn't find any of Ye Li's information online.
"So, you're the Black Spider!"
Max was still furious.
With the effect of Super Spider Sense, Ye Li easily read his thoughts and mocked, "You don't even know her name. How pathetic."
"Bastard!!!"
Max was trembling with rage, and the currents forming his body seemed on the verge of breaking apart.
Haha, dare to threaten me?
Let's see if I can make you explode with anger.
Tilting his head slightly, Ye Li added, "And not just that, the one who pushed you from behind that day was also me."
Bang!!
Max's body exploded and dissipated.
He literally blew up with anger.
[You have defeated Gwen Stacy's fateful enemy. You may choose one of the following rewards:]
[1. Monetary Reward: One million dollars]
[2. Random Reward: Electrician's Wrench]
[3. Subordinate Reward: Convert Maxwell "Max" Dillon (Electro)]
The system displayed a message.
But Max wasn't dead yet.
He reassembled again.
His body was very faint, but stubbornly refused to die as he mumbled to himself.
"I am immortal... I am immortal..."
If Ye Li continued to repeatedly shatter Max's body, he might actually kill him.
But he didn't have the time or patience for that.
"Choose [3]."
As Ye Li made his choice.
Max's body began to truly dissipate.
"What... what did you do!?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "Become a puppet."
Having a system means playing by no rules.
...
The club.
By the training grounds.
Inside the yoga room of the gym.
Barbara, dressed in loose black gauze, let her golden hair flow freely.
She posed in a flexible position, pretending to practice yoga but actually taking the chance to secretly observe the training grounds.
She was the only one in the yoga room provided by the club.
After all, on the surface.
The Ghost Spider Club was still a fan gathering in nature, so not many people practiced yoga there.
"Barbara."
Skye ran in holding her laptop, tapping her feet, and said, "Sorry to bother you just after you joined the club."
"It's fine. Your club is so big, it even has a private yoga room. I really like it here."
Barbara thought to herself, {This club is definitely suspicious}, but outwardly she feigned politeness and asked Skye, "What can I do for you?"
Skye hesitated and said, "There's something, but I don't know if you'd be willing to help."
She thought to herself, Ye Li really has a lot of bad ideas, even trying to get Barbara, a spy, to do hard labor.
"If I can be of help..."
Barbara responded while maintaining a difficult pose, "I'll do my best. After all, you've been so considerate, even giving me a private resting room. I'm flattered~"
"Then I'll get straight to the point~"
"There's chaos from multiple extraordinary events breaking out in New York City. Jessica and Ghost Spider went to stop them."
Skye gave a polite smile and explained, "Li asked me to oversee things at the club. I thought I'd get your opinion when you have time."
Barbara: ? My opinion?
I never said I understood tactical command. How does he know that?
While her mind was full of questions, Barbara kept a straight face and said, "I..."
"So, this is where you are."
Ye Li suddenly appeared out of nowhere, glancing at Barbara.
She was currently in a pose with her legs crossed over her shoulders.
Tsk~
That flexibility...
It must be top-tier among regular people.
But it's still no match for Gwen.
Barbara was interrupted by him and didn't continue speaking.
However, she didn't stop practicing yoga.
Instead, she changed to another pose as if no one was there, fully showcasing her alluring figure to Ye Li.
.....
"You've been in the bathroom for ages."
Seeing Ye Li return, Skye reported to him.
"Jessica and Gwen have already arrived at their location."
"The latest updates haven't come back yet."
"They're probably already engaged with the Lizard."
"Hmm..."
Ye Li rubbed his chin in thought—
The hardest one, Electro, has already been dealt with.
He didn't feel like dealing with the rest of the monsters.
He decided to leave them for Gwen and Jessica to train with.
"There's nothing much to command here from the center."
"Let's go take a look."
...
On the other side.
In the battle-scarred skyscraper.
"A friend gave this to you?"
Jessica examined the blue lightsaber in her hand. "My brother has such amazing friends, huh."
Swish swish swish! Swish!
Gwen fired a large amount of webbing, reinforcing Connors' bindings and wrapping him into a white cocoon.
Her web shooters now had a much larger capacity, so she didn't worry about running out anytime soon.
If it were before, using it so lavishly would have depleted her supply in no time.
