[DEAD]
[CAUSE OF DEATH: SKULL CRUSHED BY AN IRRADIATED ROE DEER]
[DEATH REWARD: STRENGTH +1]
[BEGINNING TRANSMIGRATION…]
The text floating before Ethan Wells’s eyes made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Good. So his guess had been right.
Only deaths at someone else’s hands could trigger his cheat.
As long as he had that confirmed, things got much easier.
Next, all he had to do was figure out the pattern behind the death rewards.
He already had a rough guess about that.
Transmigration had always been fast and silent.
Before Ethan had even finished thinking, the new round of transmigration was already over.
The flickering text before his eyes refreshed.
[TRANSMIGRATION SUCCESSFUL]
[CURRENT WORLD: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN]
The sensation of solid ground came up beneath his feet.
A noisy babble of voices reached his ears.
The flickering text faded, and light slowly filled Ethan’s vision.
This appeared to be an American high school.
The campus wasn’t small, and the students passing by around him were all young and full of energy.
Ahead of him, around a cluster of outdoor round tables, a group of students had gathered for some reason.
“Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!”
Suddenly, a unified chant burst out from the crowd.
Ethan had always had a good memory.
Anything he’d watched in his previous life, he could basically remember.
Knowing he was currently in The Amazing Spider-Man, and comparing that with the scene in front of him, Ethan immediately knew this was still very early in the movie.
Peter Parker hadn’t been bitten by the spider yet, and hadn’t become your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
And if Spider-Man hadn’t appeared yet, then the Lizard definitely wouldn’t have appeared either.
That meant Ethan was going to have to stay in this world for a while.
He guessed that his death rewards were probably connected to whatever killed him.
So, if he wanted to maximize the benefits, then if he was going to die, he had to die at Spider-Man’s hands—or the Lizard’s.
Preferably Spider-Man’s.
Thinking that, Ethan quickened his pace and started shoving his way toward the crowd.
“Move, move. If you don’t let me through, I’m dropping my pants and taking a shit right here.”
At first, when Ethan tried to squeeze in, nobody paid him any attention.
But the moment he said he was going to drop his pants, the students around him instantly backed up two meters, their faces full of shock!
Ethan nodded in satisfaction and lowered the hand resting on his waistband.
At the center of the crowd, a buzz-cut boy who was obviously taller and stronger than the others was holding up another skinny student and shoving him down toward a lunch tray.
Flash Thompson was bullying a student named Gordon.
According to the original plot, Peter Parker was about to show up, stop Thompson’s bullying, and then get the crap beaten out of him.
But the scene in front of him brought back some not-so-great memories from Ethan’s childhood.
And besides, after two days without food, he really was starving.
Seeing Thompson about to mash Gordon’s face into the spaghetti on the table, Ethan hurried over and rescued the plate of meat sauce spaghetti in one swift move.
“Hey! What are you doing?!”
Thompson froze for a second. Looking at the strangely dressed stranger in front of him, he didn’t quite know how to react.
“You here to stand up for Gordon?”
Thompson frowned, glaring at Ethan in annoyance.
Ethan couldn’t really be bothered with him. He waved a hand casually. “Don’t mind me. I’m here to eat.”
With that, Ethan really did pick up a fork and start eating the spaghetti in big mouthfuls as if no one else existed.
For someone who had been hungry for ages, nothing was more important than filling his stomach.
Anything else could wait until after he’d eaten.
The spaghetti already tasted good to begin with, and Ethan ate it with obvious relish.
In just a few bites, he finished the whole plate.
Setting it down, Ethan looked around.
Then he spotted an untouched burger nearby.
Still not full, Ethan picked it up and shouted at the students around him, “Whose burger is this? If nobody wants it, I’m eating it!”
“Three, two, one!”
“Okay! Nobody wants it, so I won’t hold back!”
And Ethan really didn’t hold back. He stuffed the burger straight into his mouth, taking off a third of it in one bite.
“Where the hell did this bum come from…”
Thompson’s frown deepened, and the way he looked at Ethan grew even more disgusted.
But he still hadn’t given up on bullying the classmate in his hands.
He kept Gordon pinned down, trying to force him to lick Ethan’s leftover spaghetti plate.
The students nearby immediately started chanting again.
“Lick it! Lick it! Lick it!”
“Hey! Put him down!”
Peter Parker finally pushed his way through the crowd.
Even though he hadn’t gained superpowers yet, Peter had always been kind at heart.
Faced with what Thompson was doing, he stepped forward to stop him without hesitation.
Thompson ignored Peter and laughed instead. “Parker! Come on, take a picture! Use your camera and get a shot of this!”
Peter shook his head. “I’m not taking it.”
Then, seeing that Thompson still had no intention of letting Gordon go, Peter raised his voice.
“Hey! Put him down, Thompson!”
Peter’s sudden shout drew a chorus of disappointed groans from the surrounding students.
Thompson saw Peter’s reaction, then glanced at the other students around him, and instantly felt provoked. His mood got even worse.
Bang!
He casually tossed Gordon to the ground, then walked straight toward Peter with a cold expression.
“Hey, man—”
Peter was still looking at Gordon on the ground, about to help him up.
But Thompson suddenly shoved him, then swung a vicious punch!
A dull thud rang out!
Caught completely off guard, Peter was knocked flat to the ground!
“Ooh—”
The crowd immediately broke into cheers again.
“Get up, Parker!”
Thompson roared at Peter, then drove another hard punch into Peter’s stomach just as he was getting back up!
The blow to the gut sent Peter collapsing to the ground again in pain.
Thompson was just about to swing again when another hand clamped tightly around his wrist.
He turned his head and saw that it was that man in the filthy blue suit.
“You—”
Thompson had only just started to speak when Ethan bared his teeth in a grin, grabbed the tray that had held the spaghetti, and smashed it straight into his face!
Bang!
The tray was metal.
And Ethan hit Thompson so hard with it that it bent out of shape!
“Ahhh—! My nose!”
Ethan hadn’t held back at all.
Thompson was sent sprawling to the ground, clutching his streaming nose and howling nonstop.
“That’s your punishment for trying to waste food. Please call me Food Guardian. Thanks.”
As he spoke, Ethan bent down and scooped up a handful of dirt from the flower bed beside him.
Then, under the bewildered stares of every student present, he expressionlessly hurled it straight at them!
“Ahhh!!”
Getting a faceful of weeds and dirt, the watching students immediately scattered, cursing Ethan as a lunatic.
Ethan didn’t react at all.
In fact, the more they cursed him, the harder he threw dirt!
Only after the crowd had been scared into running off in all directions did Ethan finally stop, satisfied.
He wasn’t doing it for any lofty reason.
He just couldn’t stand those onlookers.
When Thompson was bullying a classmate, their jeering and gawking made them no different from the bully himself.
There was no need to be polite to bullies!
Fortunately for them this wasn’t a bathroom.
Otherwise, what Ethan would’ve been throwing wouldn’t have been just dirt.
Dusting off his hands, Ethan casually picked up a bottle of water from the table and prepared to leave.
At that moment, Peter Parker, who had seen everything, got to his feet and hurriedly called after him, “Hey, thanks! What’s your name? I’m Parker—Peter Parker.”
“Nice to meet you, Peter. I’m Ethan Wells. Someday, if you kill me with your own hands, you’ll be my brother from another mother and father! I’ll be seriously grateful, hahaha!”
Ethan turned back and waved at Peter, his tone full of expectation.
But hearing that, and looking at Ethan’s vagrant-like appearance, Peter couldn’t help worrying about his mental state.
“No offense, sir, but… mentally speaking, are you okay?”
“I’m not insane! I just want someone to beat me to death, that’s all.”
Ethan smiled brightly, then strolled off.
Watching Ethan’s retreating back, Peter couldn’t help sighing inwardly.
But then—
Ethan, who had already walked some distance away, suddenly turned back.
With a completely serious expression, he looked at Peter and said, “I’m going to scavenge junk now. Give me your address so I can contact you later. You look pretty poor too—want me to support you by scavenging?”
“Huh?”
Peter was completely thrown by Ethan’s leap in logic.
His instincts told him that some very troublesome person had just set his sights on him.
