Peter's family did not stay in the hospital for too long.
According to the Doctor from the Mediterranean, Xu Wang's physical condition was quite good.
He could even be discharged after finishing his medication.
Compared to Xu Wang,
Ben Parker's situation was actually more urgent.
After Uncle Ben was bitten by the mutated dragonfly, his body had clearly begun to change.
This could be seen from his agile movements at the hospital earlier.
At this moment, Uncle Ben was gradually feeling uncomfortable in his body.
After returning home, he lay on the bed and immediately fell asleep.
What Uncle Ben didn't know was that while he was sleeping, the genes within his body had already begun to undergo drastic changes.
When he woke up, he would face a completely new self.
On the other side,
Xu Wang, who had stayed at the hospital for an entire afternoon, also left.
After receiving an IV drip and resting for an afternoon,
Xu Wang felt that his physical condition had recovered quite a bit.
Uncle Ben paid for this medical visit, but if he continued to stay in the hospital, Xu Wang wouldn't have any money to pay for the medical expenses.
Although Uncle Ben and his family didn't say anything, only telling Xu Wang to take care of himself,
Xu Wang still planned to pay back the medical expenses Uncle Ben advanced.
After all, it wasn't easy for anyone to earn money.
As long as it was someone he considered his own, Xu Wang was quite kind-hearted.
So he planned to work overtime tonight.
After being discharged from the hospital, he used the light emitted from his personal terminal for illumination.
Xu Wang wandered alone through the streets and alleys of New York for an entire night.
He only stopped working temporarily when the scrap recycling station opened.
It must be said,
the profession of a scavenger was not that easy.
Even very skilled old scavengers could only achieve an income of over 50 U.S. dollars a day.
Of course, as a 'roll king' from the East, Xu Wang clearly earned much more money.
In this regard, Xu Wang felt that he was quite talented on the path of scavenging.
"You're here so early today?"
The staff member at the recycling station still remembered Xu Wang.
Xu Wang looked exhausted: "No choice, I still have a child to support. I picked up trash all night yesterday."
Upon hearing this, the staff member felt pity, took the slip for Xu Wang's weighed scrap, and took a Franklin bill from the cash register to hand to Xu Wang.
"Ma'am, the extra is a little help from me to you."
Xu Wang was incredibly touched, looked around, and finally picked up a stone to give him as a return gift.
This was an unexpected windfall.
However, it was clearly not enough compared to the medical expenses Uncle Ben had advanced.
But Xu Wang was not in a hurry.
Just as he had said,
scavenging was a very promising profession.
Xu Wang was confident that he could earn money before he traveled back.
Just like his harley motorcycle,
if he found it, it was his.
This was the rule of the Wasteland.
Xu Wang would specifically target those who looked like "Wastelanders."
It was already early morning.
After picking up trash all night, Xu Wang felt a bit tired and planned to find a place to rest and catch up on sleep.
At the same time,
in Queens,
Ben Parker had woken up after a night of genetic modification.
Uncle Ben, like Peter, was also a bit nearsighted.
When he picked up his glasses and put them on, he felt a blur instead.
This was due to the lens prescription not matching his eye prescription.
Uncle Ben had just woken up at this time, and his originally somewhat groggy brain gradually cleared.
He put down his glasses in confusion.
At this moment, Uncle Ben felt the entire World was so clear!
His nearsightedness had completely disappeared!
Not only that,
looking out the window, Uncle Ben could even clearly see the feathers on a crow hundreds of meters away!
His eyesight had become even better!
"Incredible! What happened?!"
Uncle Ben put down his glasses, took off his upper garment which was soaked from sweating a bit, and turned to look at the mirror.
In the mirror, Uncle Ben was surprised to find that his originally elderly and overweight figure had now become as perfect as a fitness enthusiast!
Excess fat had completely disappeared.
All that remained were distinct muscles!
Looking at himself in the mirror, as if he had become a different person, Uncle Ben slowly opened his mouth wide.
"Oh my god! Ben! What happened to you?!"
Aunt Mei was woken up by Uncle Ben's movements.
She groggily opened her eyes, and what she saw was a muscular, tall, and upright Ben Parker!
The face was still the same face.
But this body…
Aunt Mei quickly closed her eyes and shook her head.
She thought she was dreaming.
As if remembering something,
Ben Parker reached up and wiped his neck.
There was still a small bump on his neck.
That was the mark left after being bitten by the mutated dragonfly yesterday.
Quickly grabbing a new shirt to put on, Uncle Ben hurried out of the room and headed towards the kitchen.
Relying on his now superhuman vision, Uncle Ben, after a brief search, finally found the stiff, dead body of a green dragonfly in a corner of the kitchen.
"Ben, what exactly happened?"
Aunt Mei also changed her clothes and followed him.
Looking at Ben Parker, who was in a daze in the kitchen, her expression was extremely nervous.
She had never heard of anyone transforming into a muscular man overnight.
This kind of unexpected situation, defying common sense, made Aunt Mei nervous.
Uncle Ben, holding the dragonfly's corpse, came before Aunt Mei, his throat a bit dry as he said, "Mei, I think we're in trouble…"
In the end, Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei did not tell Peter about this matter.
They thought that the dragonfly must have been brought by Xu Wang yesterday.
After all, Xu Wang was also there when Uncle Ben was bitten.
And he was holding an empty bottle with the cap twisted off.
Most importantly,
when he was examined at the hospital yesterday, the Doctor clearly stated that Xu Wang had many bite marks from animals and insects on his body.
Clearly, he was the most suspicious.
Uncle Ben just didn't know why Xu Wang would bring such a dragonfly to their house.
Was it a coincidence, or intentional?
And also,
he was bitten by the dragonfly, and his body underwent such a big change.
What about Xu Wang? Did that young man's body also mutate?
Out of a sense of responsibility, Uncle Ben felt that he had to confirm it properly.
So, while the family was eating breakfast, Uncle Ben asked Peter, "Peter, do you know where your friend lives? The one named Xu Wang."
Peter was eating macaroni with a spoon.
Hearing Uncle Ben's question, he looked up, pushed up his glasses, and, though a bit confused why Uncle Ben was asking about Xu Wang, he replied, "I don't know."
"He doesn't seem to have a place to live right now. I introduced him to Love Home the day before yesterday."
"Love Home? Is he homeless now?"
This was something Uncle Ben hadn't expected at all.
He had seen many homeless people, but someone like Xu Wang, with such a good mental state, was truly rare.
Peter remembered Xu Wang's smiling face, scratched his head, and added, "That's right, he said he's a scavenger now."
"Then can you contact him?"
Uncle Ben thought for a moment, then added, "I have something I want to ask him."
To this, Peter was completely helpless.
Although he had given Xu Wang their home address, he truly didn't know Xu Wang's personal contact information.
So he could only quickly finish the macaroni in his bowl, and as he stood up, he picked up his backpack beside him and said, "I'll tell Xu Wang that you want to see him when I see him. Uncle Ben, Aunt Mei, I have something else to do, so I'll head out first."
He still had to go to Osborn Group again.
Yesterday, because he was worried about Uncle Ben, he had just snuck into Osborn and then immediately ran out.
He had to go again today to see if he could investigate his parents' affairs.
But as soon as he stepped out, Peter saw Xu Wang's harley motorcycle parked in the yard.
