It seemed Gwen thought Peter was a bit strange today, so she leaned her face closer.
"Peter? Still spacing out? Am I that pretty today?"
Gwen's voice finally pulled Peter's scattered thoughts back.
But soon, young Peter's breathing became a little rapid.
Oh my goodness, this kind of conversation is truly deadly!
Especially in the morning, it's really easy to have some embarrassing reactions (not really).
Peter bent down slightly, finally managing to keep Gwen from noticing anything amiss.
"Ahem! Miss Gwen, please mind your distance, okay? If your father sees us, he might invite me to the Police station for coffee."
After being reminded, Gwen realized that she and Peter were already very close.
There was less than thirty centimeters between their young faces.
Even for childhood sweethearts, such a distance was a bit too intimate.
So, Gwen's face instantly turned crimson, and she quickly took a step back!
She widened the distance between herself and Peter.
Miss Gwen, whose heart was thumping, quickly changed the subject.
"My father isn't that fierce! At most, he'd invite you to talk in the Police car."
Peter shrugged, indicating that even a heart-to-heart talk wasn't necessary.
Gwen's father is named George Stacy, and he is currently the Director of the New York City Police Department, and has a good relationship with their neighbor, Uncle Ben.
He was also one of the people who watched Peter Parker grow up.
"Alright, my dear Miss Gwen, everything you say is correct."
"But if we keep chatting here, we'll be late."
"Today is our class's turn to visit Stark Industries' Technology Expo, and you don't want to miss this opportunity, do you?"
When Peter mentioned the Stark Industries Technology Expo.
Gwen's expression quickly became serious.
Like many Spider-Man iterations, Gwen is also an academic ace.
And a super academic ace who is not inferior to Peter Parker at all.
Not only did she score A+ in all subjects.
Even her physical education grades were A+.
Even the ballet she learned in her spare time passed professional-level exams.
Reaching a level where she could perform on Broadway!
She was undoubtedly Midtown High School's academic goddess!
Even if she didn't become Spider-Gwen, she was destined to become a winner in life.
"You're right, we definitely can't be late today!"
"I heard that today's expo has a special exhibition on the effects of nuclear radiation on organisms."
"I'm very interested in Stark Industries' controllable nuclear fusion laboratory. If I get the chance in the future, I must go there as an intern!"
Gwen enthusiastically discussed professional topics with Peter.
And walked towards the bus stop.
Although her father was the Director of the New York Police Department.
However, Gwen still maintained the good habit of taking public transportation.
Peter quite approved of this point.
Clearly, she was a good girl who wouldn't be blinded by material possessions and money!
...As usual, Peter and Gwen arrived just in time for a second-year classroom at Midtown High School.
Their arrival instantly silenced the originally noisy classroom.
Standing beside the unpopular Peter was Gwen, a goddess combining wisdom and beauty.
This made a few less-developed muscular gorillas feel jealous!
But soon, the homeroom teacher's arrival broke the eerie atmosphere.
"Everyone, please pack up. In five minutes, get on the school bus at the main gate. The Stark Industries Technology Expo is waiting for you to visit!"
Cheers immediately erupted in the classroom, and even Gwen couldn't help but look excitedly at Peter's seat.
However, a strange light flickered in Peter's pupils.
What had to come was finally here!
There was still half an hour left until the system loading countdown was successful!
...Half an hour later, the school bus stopped in front of Stark Tower, one of New York's famous landmarks.
Peter and Gwen got off the school bus.
Just as Gwen was marveling at the magnificent exterior of Stark Tower.
The countdown in the upper left corner of Peter's retina had already entered its final ten seconds.
[Time remaining until system loading successful — 00:00:10]!
[3...2...1]!
[Celestial Tech System Successfully Loaded]!
Buzz!
The light screen, which originally occupied only a small space in the upper left corner of his retina, instantly expanded.
It stopped only when it occupied nearly two-thirds of the space on Peter's retina.
On the light film, numerous dim question marks were listed, representing content that was still unknown.
Only the three options in the very center glowed with a flickering blue light, indicating that they could be selected.
The three options were:
[Talent], [Status], [Exchange]!
Peter quickly discovered that as his consciousness focused, one of the three options would show a change in the intensity of its light.
This meant that Peter could make selections through his consciousness.
So, Peter first opened the [Talent] option.
[Mechanical Limit Breaker]
[Level: C]
[Effect: As a chosen one by the Celestial, your hands possess unimaginable magic, capable of bypassing technical barriers and easily creating various small Mechanical constructs!]
[Special Note: Can be upgraded through proficiency! Can be upgraded through skill points!]
[Proficiency: 0 (Max 1000)]
...[Mechanical Wisdom]
[Level: C-]
[Effect: The highest manifestation of Celestial Tech, capable of imbuing Mechanical constructs with wisdom, giving them varying degrees of Mechanical consciousness!]
[Special Note: Can be upgraded through skill points!]
[Proficiency: None]
...[High Efficiency and Energy Saving]
[Level: C+]
[Effect: The energy crisis that once occurred in the Celestial gave birth to ultra-high-efficiency energy utilization Technology. You are fortunate to have learned this Technology. The energy consumption rate of the Mechanical constructs you create is reduced by 50%]
[Special Note: Can be upgraded through skill points!]
[Proficiency: None]
...When Peter saw these three talents, he knew that he would inevitably embark on a path of grinding Technology in the future.
Because the Celestial Tech System Peter obtained came from the ultra-high-tech civilization of the DNF game.
Celestial Tech could not only create the World-destroying super-giant robot — Mechanical War God Gaebolg.
It could even create a time-space spaceship capable of traversing any space — the Bila Sher.
Even in this U.S. World full of black Technology, Celestial Tech was of a top-notch level.
