After a good night's sleep, Meng Ran ate breakfast as usual and went to school.
After parking his bicycle, Meng Ran saw Peter walking ahead.
"Hey! Peter, you're early today!" Meng Ran went up and put his arm around Peter.
Peter turned his face and saw Meng Ran.
He immediately showed a happy smile.
"Hey! Meng! You're just in time. Aunt May asked me to ask you how you're planning to spend Thanksgiving, and if you'd like to have dinner with us," Peter said with a smile.
"Uh, my family doesn't seem to have made any arrangements yet. I'll ask my parents when I get back and let you know."
"Also, thank Aunt May for the invitation," Meng Ran replied.
Meng Ran looked at Peter, feeling that he seemed different today.
He then asked with some curiosity, "Peter, I feel like you've changed somehow. Have you been working out lately? Your muscles look great."
He then squeezed Peter's muscles.
Peter scratched his head and laughed, "Hmph, I've always been this good, you know? Looks like my strong body can't be hidden anymore."
Meng Ran, though feeling puzzled, didn't press the issue. The two of them went into the classroom together. Harry had also taken leave today and wasn't at school.
Meng Ran sat in his seat, looking at Peter in front of him, thinking about the changes in Peter's physique. He secretly thought, Could Spider-Man have already been born? I've been busy dealing with the Crocodile Gang these past few days, and I haven't noticed.
The class started. Meng Ran saw that Peter wasn't wearing his glasses today, and his suspicion was further confirmed.
Meng Ran decided to visit Peter's house tonight to find out what was going on. He wanted to see if Peter had been bitten by the spider. If the spider bite had caused a mutation, that would be fine, since he was going to become Spider-Man, and it would still be within a manageable range.
But if it wasn't a spider bite, and instead some other unknown factor, then Meng Ran would need to be careful.
However, if Peter became Spider-Man, that meant Uncle Ben would soon be in danger, which was also a bit troublesome.
Meng Ran remembered that in the movie he watched, Uncle Ben barely even got a chance to appear.
Later, he learned more about Spider-Man's story and realized that for every Spider-Man, there was a loss of an Uncle Ben.
The current Uncle Ben wasn't a character in a movie; he was a real person, and he was kind and caring towards Meng Ran.
Meng Ran certainly didn't want this amiable man to die like that, leaving Aunt May heartbroken. He wanted to prevent this tragedy from happening.
\n\n
Soon, it was night again. Meng Ran, as usual, went to work with Gwen, fighting crime. They sped through different areas, maintaining peace in the night.
During this time, Meng Ran also told Gwen about Peter's unusual behavior, but he didn't go into much detail, only saying that he felt Peter had undergone some kind of mutation, just like Gwen had.
Gwen, hearing this, also supported Meng Ran going to check on Peter that night. Peter was their good friend, and if he had really undergone a mutation, they had an obligation to help him reasonably familiarize himself with and utilize this power. Gwen had suffered quite a bit in the beginning.
Soon, it was midnight, and Meng Ran arrived on the roof of Peter's house, sitting cross-legged.
After confirming that Peter was asleep, Meng Ran controlled Venom and entered Peter's room through the window.
Peter's room was filled with many things: a lot of electronic components, some strange models, and quite a few tools.
The Lego set they had assembled together was placed on the desk, while Peter was sleeping soundly in his bed, his sleeping posture quite carefree.
Venom, familiar with the way, climbed onto Peter's bed from the foot of the bed, and then seeped into his exposed arm.
A moment later, Venom retreated, returning to the roof along the same route.
On the roof, Meng Ran extended his arm, and Venom entered from his arm, merging the two into one.
Meng Ran felt the enhancement of Venom within him, and his suspicions were confirmed.
Meng Ran leaped from the rooftop, disappearing into the deep night.
Moments later, on top of a building, Meng Ran sat cross-legged.
Calming his mind, the familiar electronic voice sounded in Meng Ran's mind again.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new ability!"
"Obtained super strength!"
"Obtained a large amount of intelligence!"
"Obtained a significant improvement in physical fitness!"
The electronic voice in his mind fell silent after a moment.
Immersing himself, Meng Ran felt the massive boost that the possession had brought him.
Unlike when he possessed Gwen, after possessing Peter, Meng Ran didn't acquire any special abilities. Instead, he experienced a significant enhancement in his physical condition and strength.
There was also intelligence. Possessing Peter granted Meng Ran a wealth of wisdom, which made him secretly praise in his heart: "Truly worthy of one of the top brains in Marvel, this intelligence is no joke."
After careful contemplation, Meng Ran formed a rough guess about the differences between Gwen and Peter.
Gwen and Peter shared some similar abilities.
For example, a large increase in physical fitness, strength, and reflexes, as well as the same Spider-Sense (Gwen called it Ghost Warning) and Bio-Electricity (wall-crawling).
But at the same time, Gwen and Peter also had their differences.
Gwen's physical enhancement wasn't as dramatic as Peter's.
However, Gwen could generate her own web fluid and possessed special abilities like toxins and Ghost Warning.
In comparison, Peter's abilities were much simpler: a significant boost in physical attributes, enhanced reflexes, Spider-Sense, and Bio-Electricity.
However, Peter's physical enhancement was far greater than Gwen's. After Meng Ran possessed Gwen and then Peter, his physical attributes and strength still saw corresponding improvements.
Meng Ran carefully felt the power within him. Based on today's observation and the recent possession, Meng Ran estimated that Peter had been mutated for some time, and he had a basic grasp of his own physical strength.
There wasn't any broken furniture or other unusual things in Peter's room.
A moment later, he stood up again, using his legs to sprint far away. He decided to go back to the construction site from last time to test his strength again.
Upon arriving at the construction site, Meng Ran once again lifted vehicles and cargo of varying weights.
After experimenting for a while, Meng Ran had a good idea of his current strength. He estimated he could now lift about ten tons, a two-ton increase from last time.
Meng Ran didn't need to test his other physical attributes; he knew they'd also improved significantly.
Once he was done experimenting, Meng Ran started thinking.
The Spider-Man Meng Ran knew only understood the meaning of "with great power comes great responsibility" after Uncle Ben died.
Of course, Meng Ran couldn't let Uncle Ben die. So, he now had two problems to solve.
One was how to save Uncle Ben.
The second was how to guide Peter in the right direction.
Meng Ran pondered this deeply.
Regarding the first question, how to avoid Uncle Ben's death, Meng Ran didn't have any great solutions.
After thinking it over, the only thing to do was to have Gwen and himself pay more attention to Peter and Uncle Ben during this time, especially their activities at night.
At the same time, Meng Ran also instructed Little White to constantly monitor them.
He would use the street cameras to monitor Peter and Uncle Ben's actions and outings, and if they showed any abnormalities, Little White was to report it to Meng Ran immediately.
Regarding the second question, after spending time with Peter, Meng Ran also understood what kind of person Peter was. The Peter in the movie definitely went through a difficult time after Uncle Ben's death.
If Uncle Ben's death didn't happen now, then Meng Ran would need to put in some effort to guide Peter correctly.
Having finalized his plan in his mind, Meng Ran stood up and hurried home. He had possessed Gwen and Peter in quick succession recently, and he needed to meditate and practice his techniques more to control his power.
