Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, and Peter had not stopped exploring the secrets within his body during this period.

And so far, the more he explores, the more questions he has.

First of all, the most obvious and practical thing is the strange state that appeared when he was fighting Thompson.In that state, he seemed to be aware of every move of the other party.Even including things that he can't see, he seems to be able to sense attacks from within his visual blind spots.And the second point is that my logical thinking ability seems to have increased a lot in that state, allowing me to find the best way to respond very quickly.

But this situation is not something you can enter if you want to.After spending several days trying various methods, Peter had almost given up trying until Thursday afternoon.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but by coincidence, a friend of Thompson slipped next to Peter’s seat after serving food in the cafeteria, and a whole bowl of scalding cream pumpkin soup was thrown at Peter’s face.

That strange feeling immediately came over again.Peter quickly raised his left hand, and it hit the unbalanced dinner plate, raising the angle at which the bowl of soup was spilled, so that not a drop of it was spilled on Peter.

But classmates near Peter were not so lucky.Several people were screamed by the creamy soup falling from the sky, but Peter completely ignored the farce around him and focused entirely on the feeling just now.

The feeling was fleeting, but Peter already had some idea of ​​its nature.

This state seems to only appear when one's own safety is threatened.

The second special effect is the magical healing effect.Just one night's sleep made all the bruises all over his body disappear, which was equivalent to shortening more than a week's recovery time into one night.Aunt Mei was still amazed by this, but she didn't feel anything too strange.

"You have a fast metabolism," she said.

From then on, Peter began to intentionally injure himself to see the effect of his healing speed.Of course, he only dared to get some bruises and small cuts. He still didn't have the courage to inflict really big wounds on himself.

His accelerated healing effect seems to be of no use when he is awake. The wounds caused early in the morning will not get much better until late at night.But after a night's sleep, the bruises will basically disappear completely, and the cuts will only leave a shallow red mark the next day.

However, there are still side effects, that is, Peter seems to be more sleepy and his appetite has improved a lot after being injured.He estimated that the healing effect consumed some energy in his body, so he needed more sleep and food to replenish it.Because he did not dare to test the treatment effect of serious injuries on himself, the exploration of this ability could only be put on hold for the time being.But this is already a pretty good little ability. At least Peter won't have headaches from these minor injuries in the future.

Although these special abilities do not directly bring you to the level of Captain America or the superheroes in the comics, they are still very good.

Moreover, he didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that he was a little stronger than before.But this is most likely just a psychological effect.

After Peter finished eating the lunch he brought to school, he hesitated and went to the cafeteria to order a hamburger.As he passed by, the students gathered in the cafeteria couldn't help but make way for them, whispering among themselves.

The fight with Thompson was not without its consequences.Now almost half of the school knew that there was a new student who not only dared to challenge the school's number one bully, but also fought against three at the same time, beating away Thompson and his two followers.

This is obviously different from reality, but for some reason, Thompson and his group did not come out to refute the rumors.But just looking at the sinister looks in their group's eyes, you knew they were definitely planning something.But for the first time ever, Peter experienced being the center of attention.

I have to admit, although it will be a little troublesome, it feels really good.

Unfortunately, this change did not make him any new friends.People's impression of him just changed from a lonely weirdo to a slightly dangerous weirdo.

Therefore, the only person Peter can chat with in school is still Harry.

"Oh my God." Harry made an exaggerated expression. "How come your food intake has doubled in a week?"

Peter took a big bite of the chicken drumstick burger in his hand and chewed it for a few times before answering vaguely. "Is it that exaggerated?"

"That's an exaggeration." Harry rolled his eyes. "Let me count, two pieces of toast, half a box of pasta, that burger you're eating now, and those cookies you ate in class."

&

nbsp;"Don't forget my banana."

"Okay, including your banana." Harry slapped the table. "You couldn't even eat half of this before, and now you stuff it all into your stomach without even burping. Seriously, old man, I think you should go to the hospital to have your stomach checked. "

"No Harry, it's just time for me to grow taller." Peter stuffed the last bit of chicken drumstick burger into his mouth, and then wiped his hands clean. "Now that I start exercising every day, the increase in food intake may be related to this."

"Exercise every day." Harry was completely speechless. "God, my friend is possessed by the devil"

"The guy who was really possessed by the devil should be old Jimmy. No, it should be said that the devil was possessed by him. Originally, it was promised that I would just be an assistant, but he actually asked me to take over the customer's work without giving him any money. I’m getting a salary increase. Today I have to go to the night shift and I won’t get off work until ten o’clock in the evening.”

"Seriously, old man." Harry became a little more serious. "You should negotiate terms with him. He is using you as a donkey, and a cheap donkey at that."

"I'm resigned to being a donkey." Peter stretched. "If I are really fired, I don't know where I can find a better job. Also, did you hear what Mr. Kerry said? Do you have any idea about the internship place this summer? Do you want me to work there?" The work at Jimmy’s seems substandard.”

"This should be no problem." A mysterious smile appeared on Harry's face. "I'm already prepared, so you don't have to worry about this. If nothing else, I can help you with your share."

Peter's new job at Old Jimmy's is actually not a happy one.He didn't know if it was Peter's misunderstanding, but he always felt as if Old Jimmy wanted to drive him away.

Working overtime and asking him to come to work during breaks are still small things, but he is asked to do more and more things at work.We had already negotiated with Jimmy at the beginning. He was only here to help the maintenance team, and he would just greet guests at the front desk when he was busy.But after only two weeks here and four days of work, his responsibilities had inexplicably doubled.

Now he not only has to do the same work as other formal repairmen, but he is also responsible for selling various products to customers when he is at the front desk.He even played a cameo as a porter when there was a shortage of manpower.And after he got off work, he would stay for an extra half an hour to help old Jimmy sort out the accounts after the day.Of course, he doesn't get any extra pay for this half hour.

Now the entire store employees were looking at Peter with pity, thinking that he had done something to offend old Jimmy.And Peter himself felt that he was quite unjust. He thought that he had worked very hard and was responsible since he started working, and he couldn't think of anything he had done wrong.

But he still had a guess in his heart.After all, on the day of the interview, his mind was still in a daze, exactly like when he was fighting that day.

Peter rushed to the place where he worked immediately after school.As expected, Jimmy still had a bad look on his face when he saw him. After writing down a list of what Peter needed to do today, he kicked him out of his office door.

The list is naturally full.If Peter didn't stray or make any mistakes in the next six hours, there was still a slight possibility that he could solve it all.

Peter did not dare to complain too much about this, and could only start a new day of work in the sympathetic eyes of his colleagues.

The busy day passed quickly, and other colleagues in the store had finished their work, but Peter could only look at his list with a quarter left and smile bitterly.

After saying goodbye to his colleagues, Peter pulled down and locked the store door, and then turned off all the lights except in the office.After making himself a cup of coffee, Peter sat down in his office and began to finish the rest of his work.

Time flew by at work, and when he finished the last thing on his list, the hands on his watch were almost 10:30.Jimmy's repair shop is about 10 minutes' walk from home.But in the Hell's Kitchen area, where the crime rate remains high, this stretch of road is still quite dangerous at this time.

Although Uncle Ben said that he could come to pick up Peter, Peter refused.He had already expected that he would not be able to get off work on time, and he was not willing to let Uncle Ben wait here in vain.He and Harry had agreed that if he couldn't get off work on time, he would go to Harry's apartment to stay overnight.Harry's father seemed to be a very successful businessman. He bought Harry a villa directly in the downtown area of ​​Manhattan, New York, just so that he could go to school conveniently.

Put your pen down and organize the rest of your papers.Peter stretched, took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Uncle Ben and Aunt May to say they were safe.But at this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of something breaking in the warehouse.

At the same time, the warning feeling in his mind came back like a tide.
