Chapter 920 The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation
The Spring Festival in China is similar every year. Most factories across the country are shut down. No matter how far away you are, people will rush home thousands of miles to celebrate the New Year.
Red lanterns are hung on the streets during the New Year, which looks very festive.
There are exploding firecrackers and confetti everywhere on the rural land, and people wearing new clothes are laughing and chatting in twos and threes.
Chatting about life, chatting about the future, and chatting about dreams.
Everyone has a happy smile on their face, and the neighbors are also filled with happy smiles. A new year has begun.
The children gathered together and played happily, while the adults started shouting loudly to play cards.
The Chinese New Year is a happy holiday for everyone, and everyone enjoys a rare holiday.
The adults gathered together to play cards, the children played together, and many young people gathered together to talk about the more popular things in society, or about marriage and dating.
"Xiaoxiao, are you a senior this year?" An old man looked at Zhao Xiaoxiao and asked kindly.
Zhao Xiaoxiao's family went back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year this year. One of their cousins is getting married, and she is also the bridesmaid.
"Well, I will graduate next year, uncle!" Zhao Xiaoxiao replied sweetly.
"Have you found anyone yet?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed and replied: "Not yet~"
A smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face, and the wrinkles became deeper. He said, "How about I introduce you to someone?"
Without waiting for Zhao Xiaoxiao's answer, the uncle continued: "The boy is two years older than you. He is also a college student. He is not bad in appearance. His cousin is your cousin's marriage partner. His family is also good. We both know each other well. We can try to get along with each other."
one time."
That boy is somewhat related to the old man's family, so he pulled the string.
The main reason is that Zhao Xiaoxiao is a child he has watched since childhood. She has a good personality and is very well-behaved and sensible. She is very popular with old people like him. Naturally, he hopes that she can be with his grandchildren.
"Ah..." Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say.
"I haven't thought about this particular issue..."
It's not that Zhao Xiaoxiao has never dated anyone, she just dated one in college, and then they broke up and stopped dating.
Moreover, her mother does not want her to marry far away in the future. She hopes that she will find a local partner so that she will not be too far away and can easily meet her daughter when she wants to see her.
Zhao Xiaoxiao thought the same way. She didn't want to be too far away from her parents. After all, she was the only daughter of her parents. If she married far away, her parents would be too lonely at home.
Due to various factors, Zhao Xiaoxiao stopped talking and did not meet the right person.
When you fall in love, you must be rushing to get married. If you can't get married, why bother talking about it? It's a waste of time and affection, and it's not good for both of you.
"Don't think too much, little girl. I'll talk to your mother about this later. Just treat it as a friend. Don't feel any psychological burden."
The old man knew that young people had different ideas than they had before, so he didn't say it was a blind date, just making friends.
"...Okay then." Zhao Xiaoxiao replied.
She is not young anymore, so if she really meets the right person, she may not be unable to be together.
The old man smiled and went to Zhao Xiaoxiao's mother to tell her about this.
The effect was immediate, and Zhao Xiaoxiao's mother arranged for the two to meet in the afternoon.
"Xiaoxiao, we have agreed here that you young people will go out to meet each other in the afternoon to see if they are suitable." Zhao Xiaoxiao's mother was in a good mood.
"Um."
"If you think you can do it, just get along and see. If you don't, forget it. Don't force yourself." Mother Zhao warned.
"Know it."
"You are all young people, and our families know each other well, so I won't follow you. You can go play by yourself, watch movies and sing."
At noon, Zhao Xiaoxiao set out to meet the boys.
The two met to have dinner in a restaurant, chatting while eating, and at the same time observing each other's first impressions.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Junhao, and I am Chen Chao's cousin."
When Zhou Junhao and Zhao Xiaoxiao met for the first time, they seemed a little shy, but they still had the gentlemanly demeanor that they should show.
"Hello, I am Zhao Xiaoxiao." After Zhao Xiaoxiao introduced herself, the two of them sat down.
Her first impression of Zhou Junhao was not bad. He was handsome, wore one eyeglasses, was dressed relatively cleanly, and didn't look slovenly.
Next, the two of them chatted with each other and exchanged information about each other's hobbies.
"How about let's go watch a movie this afternoon?" Zhou Junhao suggested.
In the exchange just now, he learned that Zhao Xiaoxiao prefers watching movies, so he mentioned it once.
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
She thinks Zhou Junhao is pretty good and she can try to get along with him.
If you have no interest in him, you should break up the group at this time instead of moving on to the next entertainment activity.
"What should I watch?" Zhou Junhao took out his mobile phone and started looking for movies.
"I want to watch "Spider-Man", is that okay?" Zhao Xiaoxiao did not give a direct answer, but said it in a discussion tone.
Zhou Junhao noticed this detail and smiled happily: "Okay."
Many girls don't pay attention to this detail and are used to giving their own answers. Girls like Zhao Xiaoxiao who pay attention to other people's thoughts are more popular with boys and make people feel that they are valued.
Zhou Junhao now likes Zhao Xiaoxiao more and more. He is good-looking and has a good personality. Most importantly, he cares about others. This is a respect he has not felt before.
"But, I can't seem to see it..." Zhao Xiaoxiao sat in her seat and pouted her mouth in distress.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Junhao asked confused.
"There are no more tickets, the venue is full." Zhao Xiaoxiao curled her lips helplessly.
"This is easy to do." Zhou Junhao said: "There are only two movie theaters in the county, so you can't buy tickets without buying tickets in advance. Let's go to the city to see it. I will drive there and come back after dinner there."
It takes about 2 hours to watch a movie, plus the time on the road, so you can have dinner after almost watching the movie.
Originally, meeting to watch a movie was just an entertainment activity, but Zhou Junhao's suggestion to go to the city and have dinner was just an extra activity, which could extend the time spent with Zhao Xiaoxiao. This is also a skill.
"Ah..." Zhao Xiaoxiao said hesitantly, "Isn't it too much trouble?"
If there is no rejection, then the heart is moved. Zhou Junhao can still see this. He immediately smiled and said: "No trouble, I usually like to watch science fiction movies."
"Watching blockbusters with special effects in the cinema has great effects, which are effects you can't usually see on TV."
Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, I particularly like Chen Mubai's works. I have watched all his movies~"
Zhou Junhao said: "Although I haven't watched all of them, I have watched a lot of his works, which are indeed very exciting. After watching "Titanic", I was moved and sad."
"yes......"
"Then, let's leave now."
"Yes." Zhao Xiaoxiao agreed happily, and then she said: "Go to the cinema in Shengda Plaza. I have already bought the movie tickets. This is the nearest cinema to us."
"I just want you to take a look. You don't have to spend money." Zhou Junhao said quickly.
As a boy, meeting a girl for the first time, he still understands that he has to pay the bill.
"No, no one's money comes from the strong wind. You treat me to dinner, and I treat you to a movie~" Zhao Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Seeing her persistence, Zhou Junhao stopped insisting: "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
The two of them drove to the city just to watch a movie. It seemed like a lot of trouble, but they were in a good mood and talked and laughed along the way.
"Fortunately, I bought my tickets early, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get a seat at this time." Zhou Junhao said with emotion as he looked at the almost full theater.
"Yeah." Zhao Xiaoxiao said: "Every time I watch Chen Mubai's movie, it's like this. I almost always come to see it on the first day it's released. There are so many people!"
Generally, big-budget movies are released on either Friday or Saturday. Because the crowds are the largest during holidays, which have a great impact on the movie's box office, there are more people in the first few days.
Zhou Junhao said: "The poster of the movie is quite handsome. It looks very exciting walking among high-rise buildings."
He has never seen the trailer of "Spider-Man". He rarely watches movie trailers. When choosing to watch a movie, he always chooses which movie he is interested in.
Generally speaking, look at the type of movie and the cast of starring actors or directors, so there is a high probability that the film will not be bad. After all, the star cast, acting skills are guaranteed, and the story will not be too bad.
He is not a fan, so naturally he will not support the works of "Brothers and Sisters", but will choose to watch the works of powerful stars.
Although I haven't seen the trailer of "Spider-Man", there is a poster of "Spider-Man" in the theater. He is wearing a red spider suit and jumping in the middle of the poster. The background behind it is the high-rise buildings of the city. It is easy to see.
"I watched the promotional video before this movie. I am looking forward to this high school superhero. It is also said that it will be linked with "Iron Man". I don't know what the intersection will be~"
She was very happy to watch the premiere of "Spider-Man".
"Have you seen "Iron Man"?" Zhao Xiaoxiao asked Zhou Junhao.
Zhou Junhao nodded like a chicken pecking rice and said, "I've seen it, I really like the cool mecha in it, it's so handsome!"
"Right!" Zhao Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes and smiled.
She often surfs the Internet and knows why many boys comment on "Iron Man". Most of them said that they have fulfilled their dream of mechas.
"Let's look forward to what kind of surprises this movie can bring us."
While the two were talking, the theater darkened, the noise became much quieter, and the movie officially started playing.
Everyone who went to watch the movie today was in a very high mood. Whether they were fans of superhero series or because of the Spring Festival, everyone was in a high mood. Even when the movie started, there was still some noise.
At the beginning of the movie, many strange insects appeared. They were extremely large and looked extremely ferocious.
Any creature looks scary when magnified many times, such as cockroaches, ants and other ordinary creatures...
Parker was avoiding these huge insects, and suddenly his movement was caught by an insect. It immediately pounced on Parker, its mouth wide open.
A huge insect swooped towards the camera, and all the viewers in the theater subconsciously screamed.
The main reason is that the 3D effect is so realistic that it looks like an insect pounced on itself, so the audience was frightened.
"Scared me to death~"
"It's so scary, these big bugs..."
"Don't tell me, the one just now looked like a bee. After it got bigger, the hairs on its body looked like barbs, full of lethality."
"If I hadn't known the name of this movie, I would have thought it was a monster movie..."
After the audience was frightened, they complained softly.
Parker was also frightened, and he screamed instantly.
"do not come!"
"Are you okay?" His deskmate Shaq looked at Shaq and said.
"Are you having a nightmare? I see you've been mumbling."
At this time, get out of class had just ended and the students were all packing their things. After hearing Parker's voice, they looked at him inexplicably and then looked away.
"boring person."
"He's trying to get attention again, he's really like a clown."
"A lonely and weird person, I don't know how he studies so well." Several classmates complained about Parker in a low voice.
There were several people yelling at Parker, obviously frightened by his screams.
Parker ignored them, picked up his schoolbag and left.
The dream just now was so real that it really scared him.
He is very interested in biology because his father has a doctorate in genetics. However, his parents have died since he was sensible, and he has been living with his uncle and aunt ever since.
There are books on biogenetics left by his father at home. At that time, he became a little autistic due to the death of his parents. He liked to read books all day long, so he always studied well.
After Parker left, several people blocked Shaq and began to bully him.
After Parker returned home and said hello to his uncle and aunt, he returned to his room, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and let his thoughts go.
"I don't know what happened to this child. Why did he go to his room when he got home?" Auntie sighed as she looked at Parker's closed door.
The uncle said: "Perhaps because he is about to graduate and the pressure is high, the help we can give him is getting smaller and smaller."
"I'll go talk to him then."
Parker's life background is shown to the audience, and then they go to the Biotechnology Museum before graduation, which is an activity organized by the school.
Parker was almost late when he got on the bus and was crowded by everyone. He smiled and apologized, and then sat with his friend Shaq, chatting happily, but his eyes occasionally drifted to Mary not far ahead.
The scene in the car reflects Parker's talkative character and he can't stop talking.
Like most high school students, he has a passionate and optimistic attitude.
When visiting the creatures in the glass enclosure, Parker took a step slower. At the same time, a small spider hung from the ceiling, crawled to his neck, and then bit him hard.
"ah!"
Parker felt the pain in his neck and yelled.
"What's wrong?" Shaq asked concerned.
"I was bitten by something."
Parker frowned and said when he saw the spider disappear quickly.
"Maybe he was bitten by a mosquito, is it okay?"
"It hurts a little, nothing else."
"Let's go, follow the team."
The teacher led the team forward and introduced various creatures.
When they came to a glass cover, they found that there was nothing inside, it was empty.
"This is a highly poisonous spider. Its venom can make people feel paralyzed instantly and then die..." Parker looked at the picture of the spider below and felt a little familiar.
"Probably not. According to its venom, if it bit me, I should be paralyzed quickly and die."
He felt nothing but pain.
After the visit, he returned home.
While lying on the bed, his body began to become paralyzed and he had a violent reaction.
After a period of pain, he fainted.
When he woke up again, Parker found that his vision had become extremely clear. He could now see things clearly that he had to wear glasses before.
And he had an unusual feeling. He always felt that the world seemed to become clearer, not just by sight, but by touch and smell.
"Is this what happens after being bitten by a spider?"
Parker found that his clothes were torn to pieces and his body had become very strong and muscular.
He quickly picked up a new piece of clothing and put it on, then sat in front of the computer and searched for information about the spider that bit him.
His movements were more panicked, and he found that his clothes had been torn again, and there were some small holes in them. He looked down at his palms and found that there were many small silver barbs growing out of his fingertips, like burrs on spider legs!
Parker was stunned. He almost fell down, but suddenly a white spider web shot out from his hand, catching him and preventing him from falling.
"this......"
Parker was stunned and at a loss by the sudden change.
In addition to the initial panic, he looked happy, which meant that he had an extraordinary ability!
So, he began to experiment with this ability and slowly mastered it.
He can climb on walls without falling off, he can shoot webs and is extremely resilient, and he tries to jump between tall buildings.
"No, you can't let others know about this, otherwise I will be in danger."
Parker knew that he had no background and it would definitely not be a good thing if someone discovered his ability, so he had to hide himself from others.
Because he gained the ability of a spider, he made himself a spider suit.
"It's a bit handsome. Whether he's climbing a wall or jumping from a high altitude, he looks stunning!"
"If you get bitten by a spider, you will gain the ability of a spider. If I let a dog bite me, what will I get?"
"The Chosen One deserves to be the protagonist, he's so awesome."
"Seeing this, I thought of several superheroes. Except for Downey, who relied on his IQ to make the Iron Suit, Captain China, Spider-Man and the Hulk all relied on these mutations. This shows that the rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on technology.
Mutations!"
"There's a saying, and it's true."
"It makes sense. There is a huge difference between the poor and the rich in superheroes. In such a comparison, Downey wins again~"
