American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 15 Secret

"Ugh—"

Clutching her jaw and howling in pain, the vampire's entire face was contorted in agony. However, unlike those who were killed by Li Buying's punch, her wounds healed rapidly thanks to her powerful self-healing ability, and she used her hands to push herself up from the ground.

"You damned bastard!"

The vampire, who had gotten up from the ground, forcefully turned its jaw back to its normal position and looked up to glare at Li Buying. However, the young man, lacking any martial ethics, did not give it any time to fully recover and was already standing in front of it.

Under the light, a huge shadow enveloped the vampire, giving it a strange sense of dread.

"etc……"

The vampire, realizing something was wrong, tried to beg for mercy, but Li Buying wouldn't give it that chance. She raised both fists, her middle fingers slightly protruding, and before it could react, her fists instantly struck its temple.

A normal person would be dead by now, their skull probably already blown off by Li Buying. However, the vampire seemed to be even tougher, bleeding from all seven orifices while still letting out a shriek.

The intense sound waves caused him to freeze momentarily, feeling as if he had been punched hard in the head. Enduring the most fatal feeling of fainting, stimulated by his spider senses, he immediately turned to the side and dodged the vampire's claws.

Sweep!

As she turned to the side, Li Buying attacked its lower body, sweeping a kick across the female vampire's calves. Losing its balance, it fell forward, flailing its arms wildly.

This vampire doesn't seem to have a very strong fighting spirit.

Thinking this, Li Buying pulled his leg back before it fell, then kicked the vampire in the abdomen. The monster, which was about to fall on him, was immediately kicked into the wall, shattering several bricks before collapsing to the ground, struggling to move.

Propping herself up with her left hand, Li Buying seized the opportunity to strike while the vampire was still weak. As soon as the vampire was fully healed, she rushed to its side, her five fingers clenching slightly, and plunged the sprung hidden blade into the back of the vampire's neck!

"Cough—"

The vampire, head down, coughed up blood. Sensing the threat of death, it flailed its limbs wildly, unable to utter a sound of begging for mercy.

Li Buying did not draw his hidden blade, but instead forcefully swung it from the other side, severing half of the vampire's neck. Not satisfied with that, he used the hidden blade to cut off the vampire's entire head.

Li Buying, covered in blood, tossed the vampire head away and carefully examined the corpse. She discovered that even though the head had been cut off, some granulation tissue was still wriggling at the cut.

Fortunately, the wriggling stopped after about ten seconds, and eventually the whole body became stiff.

"call……"

====

Task completed, reward issued.

====

Seeing the "task completed" message in the task log, Li Buying finally relaxed completely. She didn't bother to deal with the vampire corpse on the ground, figuring it would just turn to dust the next morning when exposed to the sun.

His immediate priority was to get home quickly and wash off the bloodstains.

……

Two full days have passed since Li Buying assassinated Rattlesnake. No S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Hydra agents, or gangsters have come knocking on his door. Everything is as usual, and he continues to live his peaceful life.

These past two days he has also been preparing many necessary items: plenty of bottled water, high-calorie food, tissues, a portable boiler, spices, a multi-functional shovel for outdoor use...

He didn't have any particularly good weapons to put in, just a pistol at most. The rest were all daily necessities. As a modern person, if he were to travel to ancient times, he simply couldn't tolerate the various inconveniences there.

The last item, the portable boiler, will arrive tomorrow. Li Buying plans to travel to the new world the day after tomorrow. In any case, whether he can complete the mission in that world or not, he will still be making a profit, since Spider-Man's abilities have not yet been fully developed.

====

Spider-Man's ability acquisition level: 50%.

====

Looking at the status bar in the bright basement, Li Buying reached out and aimed at the target on the wall, her middle finger slightly bent.

A thread shot out from the scar-like mark on her wrist, hitting the target precisely in the center. Li Buying lowered her hand and nodded in satisfaction.

He can now shoot spider silk, but only in relatively viscous threads; it cannot yet be used as an extremely strong rope.

After resting for a while, the boy got up to continue his fighting practice. His phone, which was lying to the side, rang. When he answered, he heard his own Lorna's voice on the other end.

"Maggie, what are you doing?"

Listening to the somewhat noisy voices from Lorna's side and the laughter of girls nearby, Li Buying reached up and pressed her hand down between her eyebrows, imagining Lorna and her classmates in the cafeteria.

It seems she's doing well at school.

Li Buying, panting, said, "I turned the basement into a workout room, and I'm exercising there now. What about you?"

"I'm in the cafeteria, hey Petra, don't touch my pudding!"

A crisp slapping sound rang out, followed by another girl's complaining voice. Lorna said apologetically, "Let's continue. School's out tomorrow, so I'm going home. Remember to make my bed. Oh, and of course, if it's not made, I don't mind sleeping with you, sweetheart~."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely lay it out."

Feeling a little embarrassed by the sentimentality, Li Buying shrugged. Her slightly nervous mood, which was about to be her first time traveling through time, relaxed because of her conversation with Lorna. She hung up the phone and continued her training.

I'll spend tomorrow with Lorna, and the day after tomorrow I'll travel through time.

……

"Hey, Lorna, who are you talking to, your boyfriend?"

In the cafeteria, a blonde girl with long, wavy hair tried to peek at Lorna's phone screen, and the other girls were also interested. The black-haired girl pushed her head away and said, "Yes, it's my boyfriend."

Everyone looked on with curiosity, and Petra, who was closest to Lorna, asked, "Isn't he handsome?"

"The one on my phone screen."

Somewhat exasperated, Lorna waved her phone. Staring at the person on the screen, the blonde girl's eyes widened. "Wait a minute, didn't you say this wasn't your brother...?"

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she covered her mouth in horror: "Oh my God, could it be that you two...?"

"What are you thinking about?" Lorna slapped her best friend on the head and explained, somewhat speechless, "Damn it, doesn't he know what's going on between us? He and I aren't related by blood."

"Really? So you're not half-siblings?"

"Yes, yes, he doesn't have any white features either."

Lorna shook her head helplessly, placed her clean plate at the designated spot, and walked out of the cafeteria with the other girls. Petra hesitated for a moment before asking, "Does he know you're a mutant?"

Upon hearing this, Lorna, dressed in black sweatpants and a hoodie, fell silent and shook her head: "I don't know. He thought the school I went to was a regular school that the professor ostensibly funded."

The girls fell silent. She looked up at the school's sign—which read "Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters."
