742: Chapter 742 A Multitude of Marvel Universe
As for the so-called plot, Clarissa didn't care about it at all.
Whether it was Spider-Man or the villains that appeared, in terms of strength, Clarissa could beat the crap out of them—and if she couldn't, it was only because they were already empty.
However, the others in the chat group were quite eager to see it.
It couldn't be helped; entertainment works were becoming reality.
Even they were still somewhat curious.
It was for the entertainment! Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to enjoy a good show?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Soon, Clarissa followed Peter to the apartment.
Hmm... it wasn't large, about forty or fifty square meters.
For Peter, this could be considered a "massive investment."
Looking at the somewhat awkward Peter, Clarissa couldn't help but smile. "It's fine, I'm not picky. But in your world, it's hard to do anything without money. Gold should be considered a precious commodity in your world, right? Can it be exchanged for money?"
"Of course! It's hard currency!" Peter nodded immediately upon hearing Clarissa's words.
Gold! That was definitely a hard currency!
"Is one ton enough?" Clarissa asked.
"Cough, cough—" This time, Peter truly choked on his own saliva.
Beside him, Gwen's eyes also widened.
One ton? Gold? She recognized those words, but why didn't she quite understand them when they were put together?
Wait, you can just produce a ton of gold whenever you want?
If this was based on the early Spider-Man version, it would be around 2001-2003. Taking a middle ground, at $300 an ounce, one ton is approximately 32,150 ounces.
Ten million dollars!
Ten million dollars right off the bat.
Peter couldn't help but stare with wide eyes.
This amount of money could practically buy his life!
Oh, wait, he felt like his life wasn't even worth that much!
This Peter Parker clearly wasn't the 'son of Iron Man,' but whether it was the classic Spider-Man or the organic-webbing version...
His annual salary was only between ten and fifty thousand dollars.
Ten million dollars—how many years of work would that be?
"What? Not enough? Then ten tons," Clarissa said, looking at Peter with amusement.
"No, no, no! It's enough, it's enough! Wait, it's too much!" Peter was genuinely frightened.
Ten tons of gold!
Even if she dared to give it, he wouldn't dare to take it!
And how would he sell it? Where would he even go to sell it?
Rely on Gwen? Gwen's father would probably arrest him first!
"Well, you decide. Take these for now." Clarissa smiled, and with a flick of her hand, several gold bricks appeared.
Each was pure gold, and they were bricks without any markings.
Each one weighed 25 jin!
Clarissa had four gold bricks in her hand, which was a full 100 jin of gold!
Watching this, Peter's breathing became heavy.
"I..." Peter was at a loss and couldn't help but look at Gwen.
"We'll help you sell it and set up an account for you then, so it's easier for you to use here." At the critical moment, Gwen, who had a police captain for a father, was the reliable one.
"Mm, sorry to trouble you," Clarissa nodded slightly.
She could be considered to have a residence here in the Marvel World.
Watching Peter and Gwen leave, Clarissa finally looked around the room.
One bedroom and one living room; it wasn't very big, but it was clean overall and fully equipped.
Although the apartment was quite old, it was at least clean, the facilities were complete, and there were no issues.
Of course, Clarissa didn't mind these things. Besides, she could travel between the two worlds; if worst came to worst, she could just go back to her own world to rest.
"Ah! Sister Clarissa, I want to go play in the Marvel World too!" Aili said in the chat group, her expression showing that she really wanted to.
"If there's an opportunity, but right now I have no way to bring you," Clarissa told Aili. Currently, that Transmigration method could only be used by her alone; she couldn't bring others along.
Peter could do it because he was from this world.
But to bring people from the group, it wouldn't work.
This was the information Clarissa had received.
For the next few days, Clarissa spent her time wandering around the Marvel side when she had nothing to do.
She experienced the local customs of Marvel while comparing the differences between the fictional works and "reality."
From what she could see, this Marvel World had quite a lot blended into it.
Just from what she already knew, there was Daredevil Matthew, Spider-Man Peter Parker, and Iron Man Tony Stark.
She also heard rumors of the existence of werewolves and vampires... Chen Mu immediately threw out the movie "Underworld" for everyone to watch.
This world had actually "stitched" in Underworld as well.
Secondly, there also seemed to be the existence of Mutant.
Because Clarissa had heard about a school for Mutant.
"Professor X..." Clarissa was still a bit curious about Mutant.
However, after watching the entertainment works Chen Mu provided, she didn't quite understand the logic of many people in them... she could only say they were fictional works.
Magneto and Professor X... After Clarissa took a look, she shook her head slightly. Although she was curious, she didn't plan to actively seek them out.
"Here, Clarissa, this is the account and bank card we set up for you. Inside is the money from selling the 100 jin of gold. However, we couldn't get the full amount, the price was a bit lower, so there's only 440,000 dollars inside," Peter said to Clarissa.
"Alright," Clarissa nodded. "How about this, you take 100,000, and I'll use the rest for now."
"No, no, no! That's not right!" Peter said, waving his hands frantically as soon as he heard this.
Gwen, who had come along, also said to Clarissa, "This is what we should do, we shouldn't take your money."
"I don't have much use for this money. Having a bit of your world's currency is just to make my daily needs convenient, and that's enough. I see that you, Peter... aren't very well-off, right? Just take it, don't be polite. Your world isn't very important to me.
I won't stay here forever either; I'll just come and go as I please. Having a place to stay and people I know is enough." Clarissa shook her head slightly and said, "If I don't come back, this money will be useless to me anyway."
"Uh..." Peter didn't know what to say anymore. This money... it was too much!
For the current Peter, 100,000 dollars... My god! He didn't even know how to spend it!
He felt that if he had 100,000 dollars in his pocket, he could arrogantly kick some dust into that damn boss's eyes!
"Fine, don't say any more, just do as I said." Clarissa made the decision firmly.
Peter could only accept the 100,000 dollars with tears in his eyes.
The super-poor hero had finally seen the dawn!
Peter and Gwen still had to attend school, so they didn't have much time.
Furthermore, they often had to do experiments together, so they had even less time.
According to Peter, he was currently an intern under Dr. Connors at Oscorp; well, Dr. Connors was also his university professor.
Because Peter's academic performance was outstanding and he was exceptionally gifted, he had been recruited as an assistant.
Gwen was also not to be underestimated; she was a top student as well and worked as an assistant for Dr. Connors alongside Peter.
"Interesting..." After Clarissa found out, she pondered for a moment.
The plot of the Lizard?
Clarissa gave Peter a reminder: "If anything happens in the future, you can find me anytime through that communication crystal, especially regarding matters of combat."
"Sure thing, I got it!" Peter nodded with a smile. "But it's still safe, what kind of combat could there be..."
Peter himself was Spider-Man, and he often acted as a vigilante at night. Moreover, with the 100,000 dollars from Clarissa, his life was no longer financially tight.
If he was frugal, to say the least, this 100,000 dollars would be enough for him to live comfortably for a year.
