Chapter 4: Constantly doing work
Waking up, and seeing my situation made me panic slightly.
But I eventually calmed down.
Panicking did me nothing.
Anxiety wouldn't help me.
I want to just move on with the plans the,' Rational' me made.
Just don't think about it.
Easier said than done.
Whenever I looked, it was an unfamiliar environment.
I didn't know these people.
I didn't know how to even get to school.
What the fuck should I do with my life now…
Shouldn't transmigration make me happy?
I have a system which will probably help me get stronger.
I know events that can make me rich.
How to get stronger…
But everything felt so shallow.
I felt like I didn't belong.
I then decided to follow the simplest plan the 'rational' me made to find Peter parker.
I made and printed some posters saying that I was going to be selling old spare radio parts and put them around town. Based on what I knew from the tech nerd, even if he is currently 11, he would be going around dumpster diving to get parts to build stuff.
I then went and bought a couple old radios (for above the usual prices) , and decided that it was time to go and put the posters around.
Now I need to wait...which I obviously cannot do, so I decided to go and get memberships at a gym which will teach boxing to kids.
I also decided to get a lot of textbooks for me to study from.
I previously studied in the first year of the IB curriculum in Singapore, which from what I understand is far more advanced than the US curriculum in some specific courses, cough math.
I was 17 in my past life, so I will be continuing my education. How will I do that? Hire private tutors of course...nah, I would rather study myself. If I really do need help, I can then hire tutors.
In my past life I did 6 subjects, Math, Biology and Chemistry at a higher level, Business, Spanish and Language and Literature at the standard level.
I plan on continuing all these languages, and also learning physics at a higher level.
While I would barely focus on my languages since it is unimportant, I will still learn it. It is not that I hate the subjects or something.
Anyway, I am not a nerd. This is solely to kill time for me, while feeling like I am doing something...something to meet my family.
I obviously played games as well, to feel less like shit...did not really help.
Gaming used to be fun since I played with friends. Sure, single player RPG's were fun but…it was those 3am calls with the boys that made me happy.
I couldn't even be distracted gaming since I only felt like I was on a clock.
I continued this cycle for about 1 week before Peter found me.
...
"Hello, I heard this is a place where I can find some spare radio parts." He asked politely after I opened the door.
Just as I expected, Peter Parker looked like a young Tom Holland.
"Yes this is the place, come on in." I said as I led the hesitant Peter into my house. He seemed a little weirded out that a kid so many years older than him led him into the house.
I tried to hide my fanboy eyes and focus on the topic of conversation at hand.
"Now I only have 1 condition: if you want the radio parts, answer a couple of questions about them and you can have it."
He seemed to become more confident as we began to talk about one of his strong suits, technology.
"What is a printed circuit board?"
" Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the foundational building block of most modern electronic devices..." [Authors note: Clearly I copied this from google]
...
This is how Peter and I bonded and talked about electronics for a couple hours. I made sure to know everything there is to know about radio's just so I could impress Peter, I obviously wanted to be his friend.
Soon, Peter had to leave though, which was sad for me as I had to come back into reality instead of talking with a great guy, the only guy I talked to properly after coming here, we obviously exchanged numbers (with a phone I had before hand).
But that isn't really a big problem, I plan to talk with all major cast members, it will make me feel more at 'home' in the MCU verse.
As Peter left and I was about to move on with my schedule, I saw a change on my status panel, not regarding the [Notifications], but regarding the [Rewards] Section. There was a +1 pop up there.
I pressed on it, and was slightly surprised.
[Reward:
Item: Special Radio
Reason for reward: Becoming Peter's second 'true' friend]
I then pressed on the radio and more details regarding it popped up.
[Item: Special Radio
Rank: C
Description: A radio which can hear conversation between the NYPD 15 minutes before they actually happen ]
It seems like becoming friends with the Main Cast is 1 way of getting rewards.
As of right now, there are not a lot of people I can meet.
Black Widow and Hawkeye is basically impossible unless I join shield, which I will not do.
Rhodey and the Falcon also is not really possible at the moment unless I join the army, which they won't let a 12 year old do.
Hulk...I don't really want to meet him right now even if I could.
It is also hard for Wanda and Quick Silver unless I join Hydra or something.
Dr. Strange shouldn't exist yet, and I don't want to exactly meet the ancient one. She will probably try to keep me with her, knowing she can't see my future with the time-stone and all.
The only probable is Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man.
Off the top of my head there are 3 ways I can meet him.
1- Get an internship at his company
2- Become a reporter and annoy him into talking to me
3- Get close to Pepper and Happy and slime my way into their inner-circle
Right now, it is probably best with the 1st way. Tony Stark only respects game with game, unless you want him to treat you like a kid.
