Sitting in the sports car, Peter asked doubtfully, "Sir, what do you need me for?"
Starting the car and driving forward, Yang Tao didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile, "A monthly salary of ten thousand, eight hours of work a day, and it won't delay you from being New York's vigilante at night."
"Huh?"
This treatment could be said to have exceeded the limits of his imagination. Originally, he could only earn couple dozen or so dollars a day, but now Yang Tao was offering him a job with a monthly income of over ten thousand.
"Sir, I won't use my abilities to do anything unethical."
Peter really didn't know what else, besides his superpowers, could be worth a monthly salary of 10,000 US dollars.
"Your abilities? No, no, no..."
Yang Tao drove the car towards Harry and May's house.
"Your abilities are really not important in my eyes... Uh, Spider-Sense is a good ability, but there's nothing special about other aspects."
"Peter, what I value is your mind. I currently have three research projects underway, namely biology, energy, and machinery."
"I hope you can fully dedicate yourself to studying during the day."
"And catch up with the experiment's progress in the shortest possible time."
"Of course, I know this is very difficult, and I will arrange for the most top-notch professors to lead you in experiments and study."
Peter was a bit at a loss. According to Yang Tao, as long as he was willing to study, he would get paid. This ten thousand US dollars felt genuinely hot to handle.
"Sir, I... I can't do it."
Yang Tao looked at Peter with firm and trusting eyes and said, "No, you can do it, because you are Peter Parker."
Instantly, Peter felt a surge of emotion, an inexplicable feeling of being willing to die for someone who truly understood him.
...
Arriving at Peter and May's house, he didn't expect Mary Jane to be there. After the door was opened, when Yang Tao saw Jane and May, new prompts immediately popped up in his vision.
"Exploration Progress 30.22%"
"Activate More Stacking mod"
"Activate Skill Advancement mod"
'More Stacking? Doesn't that mean a truly infinite backpack?'
Although the Sophisticated Backpack was very useful, Yang Tao would not complain about his backpack being a bit larger.
'What is this Advancement mod?'
Yang Tao felt that he should have encountered this mod before, but probably not much.
"Hey, Peter, you're back."
Mary Jane showed a sweet smile, standing at May's doorway, looking at Peter, like lovers in a passionate romance.
However, if Yang Tao remembered correctly...
Mary Jane currently seemed to be Harry's girlfriend.
She only became Peter's girlfriend after the second movie officially began, and in the third movie, Mary Jane became Harry's girlfriend again.
In short, the lives of the three were quite interesting.
"Jane, why are you here?"
"May is home alone, and I just happened to have time today to come and help her with dinner."
Jane lived next door to May.
Peter had known her since childhood, but he was very invisible when he was young, and Mary Jane never paid attention to him.
"Hello, Ms. Mary Jane."
Yang Tao extended his hand and shook Mary Jane's hand, then looked at May with her white hair and handed her the gift he had prepared.
"May, my name is Yang Tao. I'm Peter's friend and future boss. It's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful lady."
Yang Tao's words made May beam with joy and say, "I've forgotten how long it's been since someone called me beautiful."
"May, outward appearances will eventually age, but a kind soul will live forever. However, I still have some matters to attend to today, so I'll come visit another time."
With that, Yang Tao smiled at May, patted Peter's shoulder, and said, "Peter, be on time for work tomorrow morning. Don't be late."
"Okay, I definitely won't be late."
He nodded and drove away.
Arriving at an uninhabited place, two wooden doors appeared out of thin air in front of the car. Yang Tao drove the car back to the Main World.
"The width is just right!"
He casually parked the car aside, then opened the crafting table.
Soon, he saw items related to the Skill Advancement mod.
Skill Book, as well as Ability Page and Skill Page.
Ability Page [Portable Workbench]: Parchment fragments, ender pearl, iron ingot, workbench. Throw them together and wait for a while to craft. There are also [Portable Anvil] and [Portable Enchanting Table], with similar crafting methods, just slightly different items to throw.
"Just throw it on the ground?"
"I still need to find a way to get some parchment fragments, but I can make this Skill Book first to see."
The materials needed for the Skill Book are very simple, only requiring Leather x 4, Book x 2, Paper x 2, and Gold Ingot x 1 to craft.
He opened his backpack and put the materials into the workbench. Soon, a blue skill book with a yellow lightning symbol appeared in his hand.
He gently opened it.
It was mainly divided into three categories.
Namely, Abilities, Skills, and Experience Storage.
He opened the much-anticipated skill page and found some introductions written inside.
Except for initial skills, other skills require obtaining corresponding skill pages to unlock. Skill pages cannot be crafted and have their own acquisition methods, either by killing specific creatures or by obtaining them from chests in specific areas.
"How am I supposed to find Ravagers and Pillagers for you in Peaceful mode in the Overworld??"
Specific skills require specific monsters to drop.
However, basic skills are pretty good too.
Blaze Furnace, Iron Arm Miner, Excavation Vanguard, Overwhelming Force, Weapon Master, Wall Run, Flash Step, King of Parkour, Heavy Punch, Duel Protection.
These 10 basic skills can greatly improve Yang Tao's strength, especially in terms of flexibility.
However, the effects of those unactivated advanced skills were far inferior.
"This is really troublesome. It seems I can only get the specific skills from the Nether first..."
"Wait..."
Yang Tao suddenly saw the Heavy Punch skill icon and suddenly remembered something.
"If I remember correctly, it seems the damage added by this mod can ignore the parasite's damage limit and damage adaptation. Even if it turns purple, it can still deal damage..."
Parasite before mod: Damage Adaptation, kid!
Player after mod: Advanced Human, bug!
"In that case, this mod seems to be a bit abnormal..."
Just as Yang Tao was recalling the skill effects, the roar of a car suddenly sounded in his ears.
He quickly turned his head to look. At some point, the Green Robe sage had already gotten into the driver's seat of the sports car.
The sports car had already started, and right before his eyes, the sports car shot out towards the wooden door wall like an arrow from a bowstring.
By chance, one of the wooden doors happened to open.
"Mr. Yang..."
An excited Conan emerged from the wooden door, and his smile quickly froze on his face.
"..."
Is today my grand finale, "The Death of Conan"???
But soon, Conan extended his hand to the front of the car, then forcefully lifted the moving car directly into the air.
Even the well-informed Yang Tao felt his mind unable to process this series of events.
"Holy crap! Hulk version Conan??"
