3 Chapter 3

Time passed quickly; when the school bell rang, Yves was still preoccupied with his experiments, immersed in the calculation formula.

His classmate, Olly, began to shake his friend's body several times; "Hey, buddy, wake up. Don't you want to buy things at the market? Let's go. Otherwise, this room will be locked from the outside."

Yves' focus was distracted, and he finally regained consciousness. He looked around the class, and yes, the whole class was empty.

In this room, besides Yves and Olly, a beautiful teacher named Dana is still sitting on the teacher's bench in front of the class.

"Teacher, I'll go; see you next week, have a great weekend."

Yves packed his things quickly, after which he greeted the beautiful teacher with a beating heart.

For now, he is the only one who likes the beautiful teacher, but later, he is sure to be able to conquer her!

What Yves needs now are money and exemplary achievements.

Teacher Dana nodded with a smile. Putting down the book she was reading, Dana softly said, "Okay, don't forget to review your homework."

Olly, who saw his teacher's reply, was immediately astonished; never once had he seen Teacher Dana smile this sweetly.

Every time he met, the teacher would always look serious. Unexpectedly, her smile makes her even prettier!

Olly, who was still stunned, was immediately lashed by Yves. Afraid this man would be drooling if Yves left him still.

After walking out of the school building, Olly finally regained consciousness from his daydream.

"Yves, have you seen her? Teacher Dana just smiled, she looks very beautiful!"

Unlike Olly, who acts like a hormonal teenager, Yves remains calm and in control.

Although Dana's smile was astonishing, Yves, who had consumed a lot of 'Night Medicine', had already developed a certain sense of immunity.

"By the way, we're graduating soon, have you decided to get into a particular university?"

Hearing Yves's question, Olly began to sigh. The discrimination against people of African American descent in this country is still reflected strongly. Even though it is not like a hundred years ago, racism still exists.

"I don't know, maybe I won't go to college. I'll join the army."

Olly shook his head.

"What about you? For a smart guy like you, I'm sure you can get into every university you want."

"I feel so optimistic about you, man." Olly smiled broadly.

"By the way, come to my house tonight; you will be home alone again, right? Better get together with us."

"Haha, okay, I'll come tonight."

"Then let's go."

Walking the streets of the city, on the side of the road, there are many homeless people in ragged clothes waiting for help from philanthropists,

After the First World War, international financial imbalances led to a massive economic crisis. Now is the time of the Great Depression.

Today's economic crisis caused uncontrollable inflation. The goods produced could not be sold, the factories closed, and the workers lost their jobs.

In particular, in the Wall Street stock trade, people will jump from the top of the building almost every day.

This great crisis resulted in massive unemployment and gave birth to a percentage of crime in every city.

Those who dare to walk in dark alleys will indeed be robbed. If the victim is male, they will be killed immediately; if it is female... They'll be molested before they end up being killed too.

Yves and Olly walked down a street with a lot of electronics sellers.

This area has almost everything from washing machines, Black and White TVs and other appliances.

Parts of all kinds are also widely sold here; because of the Great Depression, almost all goods here are sold at low prices. Anyway, there's a lot of unsold stock.

McCork Building is the most prominent wholesale place for electronic parts. It is said that this company has supplied its goods to many military companies.

Yves started buying a lot of stuff after purchasing this and that. Yves and Olly share carrying bags.

Because Yves' body was less athletic, of course, most of the items he bought were carried by Olly.

Yves started buying Starters, Circuit Boards, High-density coils, Isolation Tape, Resistors and several other items. To be honest, there are not many sophisticated items to buy; after all, this year is still the 1930s, the technology of this era is still limited.

After a crazy shopping spree, Yves decided to go back home. As for the large items such as wires and resistors that he couldn't possibly carry, they would be sent by the shop owner to his house.

"You are very irresponsible when buying something, are you sure you can buy food after buying all these items? You can't keep eating at my family's house!"

Olly said jokingly; the two were close neighbours. Sometimes Yves joined him for dinner with his family of friends.

While chatting a little on the street, suddenly, a thin figure of a middle-aged woman and a guy walked side-by-side.

At first glance, Yves felt he recognized him.

Right, that skinny guy was nothing but a future Captain America!

His appearance is exactly the same as shown in the movie. Even though he was thin, his eyes looked very firm!

Those two are holding a black-and-white TV; it looks like they're gonna sell that thing.

Seeing their random looks makes Yves feel a bit sad. In addition to the dry skinny body caused by malnutrition. His and her clothes were also very worn, also covered with many patches.

Yves began to approach them. Being a Hero is complex, but it will always be good to have a good relationship with future Superheroes.

"Are you planning to sell this TV?"

Hearing the stranger's question, Sarah stopped and looked at the young man with a hint of doubt.
