467 Is New York going to be bombed again?

Even without any extraordinary abilities, Peter can depend solely on his talent, dedicating himself to studying and working, can ensure a promising future.

However, what they see now is that Peter is living in such dire straits. He can't even afford living expenses and rent. His work and studies are severely disrupted.

It can be said that Spider-Man's identity not only did not improve Peter Parker's life or bring wealth and benefits but instead became a heavy burden, turning what should have been a peaceful and positive life into a mess.

As viewers follow along, their understanding of Spider-Man deepens, feeling that this down-to-earth superhero, like a neighbor, is more relatable to their lives. They increasingly admire and respect him.

"It's really not easy. If I had Spider-Man's abilities... Well, I wouldn't be able to control myself and end up doing something unforgivable."

"Forget it. If you had superpowers, you'd be like Norman Osborn. No, Norman Osborn is the boss of a big company at least. You would be nothing compared to him."

"Spider-Man indeed lives too hard. Everything he does is to help people, yet he doesn't charge a penny. Such qualities are truly rare and valuable."

"I think we should establish a special fund, and the government should pay superheroes like Spider-Man from the police budget. It's not much different from throwing taxpayers' money at them since those police officers are always late anyway."

"I feel sorry for Peter. He bears a heavy responsibility. If he didn't become Spider-Man, I believe Peter would definitely become an outstanding and successful person. With his mind and talent, maybe he could even create a high-tech company like Norman Osborn or Tony Stark!"

Viewers, observing Peter's daily life from a god's perspective, gain a clear understanding and deep emotional connection.

Peter's talent in science is indeed outstanding. After a simple chat with Dr. Otto Octavius, every word hits the mark. Dr. Octavius starts to appreciate this talented young man.

He takes Peter Parker to visit his latest research project, a nuclear fusion machine. According to him, if this fusion project is successful, it will provide endless energy, bringing immense benefits to the world.

The specialized terms used by Dr. Octavius leave laypeople with question marks, but Peter can follow his train of thought. After a simple understanding of the project, he even expresses concerns.

The stability and control of nuclear reactions are crucial. If it goes out of control, it could turn into an immensely powerful nuclear bomb, potentially blowing up the entire city of New York.

Dr. Octavius is confident, claiming this is his life's work, and he understands the dangers of the project better than anyone else. So, he is determined to succeed.

As the video fades out, a new question is presented: [Question: Will Dr. Otto Octavius's nuclear fusion project ultimately succeed?]

[A: Yes

B: No.]

"Wow, another two-choice question." Arthur blinks and says with a smile, "This question shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Peter glances at him and nods, "Yes, the answer to this question should be 'B', and it is directly related to the previous question."

The previous question asked whether Dr. Octavius could help Osborn Industries reach its peak, and it is evidently directly connected to this nuclear fusion project. If the project succeeds, it will naturally boost Osborn Industries, the one sponsoring him.

Gordon raises an eyebrow, "I guess the crisis Spider-Man is about to face is related to this doctor and his research project."

Bruce Wayne agrees, "Many research projects are too dangerous."

Soon, the countdown for answering begins. The players, confident this time, eagerly press the answer button, with Arthur luckily gaining the right to answer this round.

Gordon frowns. Bruce Wayne's expression becomes more serious. They don't want Arthur to win this round, but now it seems his luck is quite good.

Arthur happily says, "My luck is not bad. I choose 'B' for this question."

Others make the same choice, and when the correct answer is revealed, as expected.

[Congratulations to player Arthur Fleck for answering correctly and gaining 4 points. Player Peter Parker, Player Jim Gordon, and player Bruce Wayne answered correctly and gained 1 point each.]

they all get it right. Arthur, having the scoring opportunity for the fastest answer, earns four points.

Perhaps influenced by his previous future video, at this moment, he can't help but dance spontaneously and curiously says, "Guess if this doctor will really blow up the entire New York? Boom! Setting off a big firework?"

"Well, I really hope this doesn't happen." Peter shakes his head repeatedly. Just thinking about it makes the scene terrifying.

At this point, the screen continues to play the video. It doesn't immediately reveal the follow-up of Dr. Otto Octavius's research project. Peter plans to go watch Mary Jane's play tonight.

However, on the way, he encounters robbers again. Peter Parker has to change into Spider-Man to help the police catch the criminals together. Without a doubt, he misses the opening time of the play and can only sit outside the theater waiting.

Finally, when Mary Jane comes out, Peter is about to approach when he sees Mary Jane kissing a handsome tall man across the street.

Peter can't help but stop in his tracks. The smile on his face slowly disappears, appearing particularly desolate. But he doesn't even have time to feel sad. Police cars rush by on the street.

Without hesitation, Peter rushes into the alley, quickly changes into the Spider-Man costume, and resumes his busy "work."

Seeing this, many viewers felt quite distressed and had to lament that Peter Parker had paid too much for the responsibility of Spider-Man.

Seeing this, many viewers outside the video screen can't help but sigh. After watching the live broadcast of so many superheroes in the Quiz game, they haven't seen anyone as pitiful as Peter...

But soon, even the Job of 'Spider-Man' encountered problems. Peter dressed in the Spider-Man costume, swung between tall buildings as usual. Suddenly, he couldn't shoot the web anymore, falling from a great height, and landing with a not-so-gentle impact.

He tried to climb back up several times, only to realize that the once instinctive skill of shooting webs had inexplicably failed!

Seeing this, many viewers outside the video screen can't help but sigh. After watching the live broadcast of so many superheroes in the Quiz game, they haven't seen anyone as pitiful as Peter...
