It was Luo Di who shut down Cyclops.
The red laser beam appeared to be light, but it was actually Impact.
Therefore, its speed was not light speed, but it was still very fast!
According to Luo Di's recent test, the speed of the laser beam was approximately Mach 10.
That is, ten times the speed of sound, three thousand four hundred meters per second!
And based on Luo Di's current maximum range of eighty thousand meters, it would take about 23.5 seconds to attack a target eighty thousand meters away.
This time was not short.
So, if he were to attack a target at an ultra-long distance, Luo Di would have to make a prediction.
Otherwise, he wouldn't hit it at all!
Of course, the laser beam didn't just disappear after being fired.
Luo Di could release it continuously.
It would just cause strong mental fatigue.
And Luo Di's current mental strength was actually average; normally, he could probably only sustain continuous release for about fifteen minutes before he had to stop and rest for a while.
But in reality, Luo Di, who possessed Energy Absorption ability, could completely use it to recover from mental fatigue, achieving an effect of continuous release, never needing to stop!
So;
Even if the prediction wasn't successful, Luo Di could continuously pursue, or even bombard wildly.
It would all work the same!
After testing the actual effect of Cyclops, Luo Di instantly teleported back to Paradise Tower.
Over the next two days, Luo Di and Gwen hit it off.
The two often went out on dates together.
They were clearly in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
And Gwen's father, Director George, still guarded Luo Di as if he were a thief.
He had probably investigated Luo Di's information and knew he was a playboy, so he was very much against Gwen being with him.
However, Gwen at this age was rebellious; the more her parents told her not to do something, the more she wanted to do it.
Moreover, this time Gwen felt she had made her decision after careful consideration.
Let alone only George among her parents opposing it.
Even if both parents opposed it, Gwen would never compromise!
As for Luo Di having a girlfriend, Harry, as Luo Di's good friend, was also very surprised.
After all, Harry knew Luo Di's character too well as his good friend.
Besides the two serious girlfriends he had in his student days.
Which of the women he had been with afterward lasted more than three days?
Calling him a scumbag was an overstatement!
He was simply a complete wanderer!!
But such a wanderer, he actually settled down!
No wonder Harry was so surprised.
And while Gwen's romance was blissful, with her almost entirely focused on Luo Di.
A new Spider-Man also appeared in Free City!
When Luo Di saw the news about Spider-Man, he knew this Spider-Man must be Peter Parker without a doubt.
Not only because of his physique, but the report also mentioned that this Spider-Man was a chatterbox; even the criminals he caught complained that Spider-Man had tortured them with words during their capture.
Who else could it be but Peter Parker?
Regarding this newly appeared Spider-Man, Spider-Woman Gwen, who had also been popular for a while but whose popularity had recently plummeted, also expressed considerable surprise.
She herself knew very well that she had gained such abilities because she was bitten by an experimental spider from Osborn Company.
But what was the situation with this Spider-Man in the news now?
Could it be that he was also bitten by a spider?
Gwen was very curious and wanted to find this Spider-Man to ask him in person, but she was too busy recently and simply couldn't spare the time.
She could only wait for a while longer.
....
PS: The twelfth update is here!!!
Alright, that's it for today. I'll finish writing one chapter of the old book, and then I can pretty much wash up and go to sleep.
Good night, everyone! .
Chapter 40: Discussing Spider-Man with Gwen! [Seeking Fresh Flowers]
This day was Saturday.
Gwen had no classes, and her internship at Osborn had also ended yesterday.
Gwen successfully received Professor Connors's praise, got the university recommendation she wanted, and Professor Connors also told her that if she was willing, she could continue to intern at Osborn Company during the holidays.
Clearly;
Gwen's academic excellence made Professor Connors think highly of her.
As for whether Luo Di's presence was a factor in this?
That remained unknown.
However, Professor Connors did know that Gwen was dating Luo Di, the mysterious vice president of the company.
But considering that Professor Connors was the kind of person who prioritized academics above all else, it was not certain that he would give Luo Di face because of this.
In the afternoon.
Luo Di and Gwen had just finished eating at a restaurant near Central Park. When they passed an ice cream shop, Gwen showed a longing look.
Luo Di immediately understood and bought two ice creams, one for each of them.
"Mine tastes pretty good, how about yours?"
Gwen took a bite of her ice cream, then looked at the one in Luo Di's hand.
"It's alright, do you want to try it?"
Luo Di brought it over and put it in front of her.
"Okay!"
Gwen had already thought of this, and immediately took a bite.
"Hmm~! Yours isn't as good as mine."
Gwen commented.
"Is that so? I don't believe it."
Luo Di said, taking a bite off the tip of Gwen's ice cream.
This time, Gwen wouldn't have it; she immediately pulled her hand back, protecting her ice cream.
"You ate too much! I only had a little bit."
Her protective look was like a little hen.
Luo Di found it amusing.
The two walked and chatted.
Somehow, the conversation turned to Spider-Man.
"Spider-Man is very popular recently. He's only appeared for less than a week, and he already has many fans on Twitter!"
Gwen sounded a little sour when she said this, because she herself was Spider-Woman, and Spider-Woman had been fighting crime in Free City for some time before.
Although her crime-fighting was clearly not as diligent as this recent Spider-Man.
But at least she was an earlier debut senior, right?
However, now it seemed that more people on the internet liked Spider-Man.
In contrast;
Spider-Woman, who hadn't appeared for several days, was already far from her former glory.
On one hand, it was due to Gwen's passive operation.
On the other hand, it was also related to the negative comments about her online previously.
Those comments turned many people into anti-fans of Spider-Woman!
And now another Spider-Man appeared.
There was no harm without comparison.
Compared to the hardworking Spider-Man, Gwen, as Spider-Woman, was really too laid-back.
She wasn't active at all in fighting crime!
However, Gwen had already come to terms with it after Luo Di's guidance last time.
At this moment, besides a little envy for Spider-Man's rapidly surging popularity, she had no other thoughts, nor did she have any intention of changing her laid-back style because of it.
She was a Superhero driven by interest; when she wasn't interested, she wouldn't go to work!
Gwen thought to herself.
....
"Yes, Spider-Man's popularity is indeed very high."
Luo Di nodded and said.
"But the higher you stand, the harder you fall. Just like Spider-Woman before, if he fails to do anything well, he could be verbally attacked by those people online at any time!"
Gwen nodded in deep agreement.
She also thought so.
It seemed those people online just liked to focus on what these Superheroes didn't do well and make a big deal out of it.
She was the same before.
This Spider-Man now would probably also encounter such a situation in the future.
However;
Conversely, netizens were also forgetful.
Isn't that right, Gwen hadn't appeared as Spider-Woman for several days, and now those negative comments about her online were almost nowhere to be seen.
Instead, some netizens started to express that they missed the days when Spider-Woman was around.
This made Gwen feel that these people were really strange.
Especially since some of them were the very people who had cursed her online before.
Now they were saying they missed her?
Seriously, I give up!
"Luo Di, who do you think is stronger, Spider-Man or Spider-Woman?"
Gwen suddenly asked this question.
If it were someone else asking, Luo Di would definitely evaluate it objectively and then give an answer.
But the person asking this question now was Gwen.
Which was Spider-Woman herself!
