It was still the same country road leading to the suburbs.
It was still the same vintage Chevrolet sedan, with the family of three inside.
What was different this time was that they were returning from the farm to their home in Queens, New York.
At that moment, Peter's mood was completely different from before he came.
"Cause it's hard for me to lose.
In my life, I've found only time will tell..."
His right hand rested on the car window, his fingers lightly tapping to the soothing music.
Sunshine streamed in through the window, bathing Peter's face in a golden glow.
As the scenery outside the window flowed by, Peter's mood continued to fluctuate.
Gradually, he narrowed his eyes, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
This time, Peter did not complain about the old car being too slow.
As long as there was a place with sunlight, it was like heaven for Peter at that moment.
However, every journey must eventually come to an end.
After who knows how long, maybe a few hours, when Peter opened his eyes again, the scene outside had changed dramatically.
Tall buildings gradually came into view ahead.
Pedestrians and vehicles, which were originally almost hard to see, also gradually became more numerous.
The chatter of pedestrians and the honking of vehicles merged into a noisy din, which made Peter recall the unforgettable experience from the day before.
"New York City, the most famous city in the Marvel universe."
Sensing the extremely prosperous city now, Peter couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, this would become the most dangerous city in the Marvel universe. The wormhole above the city would bring countless Chitauri soldiers.
"Luckily, at this point, that playboy hasn't been kidnapped yet, and there's still enough time before the crisis arrives for me to continue getting stronger."
"Moreover, even if the crisis were to arrive immediately, I now have strength far exceeding Captain America's. Protecting myself and my loved ones would be no problem at all."
Peter was not worried about the coming crisis, having already awakened some of Superman's abilities.
Squeak...
Just as Peter was lost in thought, the clear sound of tires rubbing against the road surface suddenly entered his ears.
"Fortunately, it's not a car accident."
Realizing it was not a car accident, Peter gave up the idea of revealing his abilities to protect Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
Instead, he pretended to be thrown forward by the inertia of the sudden braking, and then asked somewhat anxiously, "Uncle Ben, what happened?"
"Sorry, Peter, I didn't expect a group of pedestrians to suddenly rush out in front of me."
Uncle Ben also didn't expect to suddenly encounter a group of demonstrators while driving perfectly fine.
Before Peter could figure out what was going on with the protesters, a guy wearing a Spider-Woman mask on his head, his appearance unclear, suddenly jumped to Peter's car window: "Hey, man."
Then he casually invited Peter, "You seem to still be in high school like me. Want to come cheer for Spider-Woman with us?"
"I'll pass, sorry."
Resisting the urge to punch the guy over the head, Peter politely declined.
"Okay then, this is for you. I hope you'll have the chance to become a member of our Spider-Woman fan club."
Seeing that Peter declined, the guy didn't keep pestering him. Instead, he casually threw something through the car window to Peter.
Then he continued shouting slogans like "Spider-Woman is an agent of justice," wearing the mask and inviting passersby to join them.
"Looks like we missed something big."
Driving carefully through the parade crowd, Uncle Ben couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"You're right, we missed something interesting."
Looking at the red Spider-Woman mask in his hand, a smile also appeared at the corner of Peter's mouth.
...
At night, lying in bed, Peter, Once again, received a mission after the system refreshed.
[1: Show the world you are a kind and loving Superman by resolving an ongoing crime and shouting "I am Superman!" at the scene.
Reward: 100 points, random awakening of an ability.
2: The greater the power, the more unrestrained I become.
3: ...]
The mission options were almost no different from the previous ones.
"It looks like if I keep choosing the third one, these missions won't refresh automatically."
After staying at the farm for a full week, Peter had also picked up the third quest for almost a week.
"Open my status panel."
[Name: Peter Parker
Life Script: Superman
Character Template: Normal Superman

Point Store: Not Unlocked]
With ten times the efficiency of absorbing sunlight, Peter had successfully awakened two Superman abilities one after another in just a few days.
His steel body, the first ability he awakened, had also crossed the initial awakening stage.
At this time, although his body still could not withstand nuclear bombs, it was no problem to withstand RPGs, grenades and the like.
And his speed and physical endurance also far exceeded that of normal people.
However, the flight ability, bio-electricity field, that he was most eager to awaken still had not awakened.
"That's not bad, it's much faster than Superman in the movie."
Peter was already very satisfied. He still remembered that in the Superman series of his previous life, even the strongest Superman did not awaken the ability to fly until the last season.
"Now that I already have enough strength, it's time for a different mission."
In fact, Peter was already a bit impatient to try out the other missions.
"But, one or two, which one to choose?"
However, Peter was a little tangled at this time.
"Whatever, I'll just pick this one!"
Finally, Peter stopped hesitating and directly confirmed the second option.
The reason he chose the second option was that he felt that if he chose the first option, the subsequent missions might all follow the Superman route.
Although he was Superman, he didn't have Superman's kind and merciful heart.
He also didn't like going around acting as other people's nanny.
"But I can't just brazenly go out like this. Otherwise, my house will probably be surrounded tomorrow."
Since he was going out to make trouble, Peter naturally had to hide his identity.
Just as he was wondering how to hide his identity, he suddenly saw something he had casually thrown on the desk after coming home earlier.
"Well, I've decided it's you!"
Grabbing the Spider-Man mask on the desk, he took out the Spider-Man suit from the closet that he had almost forgotten about after crossing over.
Then he fished out two small devices he had made after crossing over from under the bed and wore them on his left and right wrists.
"Hmm, other than the clothes being a bit tight, I look pretty good."
Admiring his current dashing appearance in the mirror, Peter felt extremely satisfied.
The next moment, he directly opened the window and jumped out from the second floor without hesitation.
"Super Spider-Man, making his debut!"
