Chapter 177 Construction Machines
"Midtown High School dance invitation?" Peter stared at the emails displayed on his phone screen, saying, "Wow, it sounds so good!"
Mary Jane leaned gently on his shoulder: "I guess, someone hasn't chosen his partner yet, right?"
"If the beautiful Miss Watson says 'ok' to me, I'll choose now," Peter said with a smile.
"Maybe you can come to the dance in your battle uniform." Mary joked, "Imagine that Spider-Man made a grand debut at the Midtown High School dance, and that would make headlines! We both can do it!"
"Maybe I can still swing in through the window."
After receiving the invitation from the dance party, Peter and Mary kept joking there and were in high spirits. On the other hand, Eric and Reven, who received the same news, seemed much colder on the back of the bookshelf.
"You... saw the invitation to the dance?" Eric asked tentatively.
"Yes." Ruiwen read the book seriously, without raising his head, and his whole body was filled with a full aura of academic domineering.
"Well, I guess we're on the routine part again." Eric sighed, "Then it's time to ask me if you want to go, and then you said you don't have to?"
Riven finally raised his head and gave him a very gentle smile by her standards.
"yes."
Eric shrugged helplessly, of course he expected that this would be the case, so he simply stopped talking and did not mention this topic again.
He didn't notice, and just after he buried his head again, Revan glanced at him with a hint of apology.
Why not? Actually, I still want to go there, right? Wearing the beautiful black long dress that Mr. Stark gave her, and going to a dance with the boy... Maybe it wouldn't be a bad experience, right?
In fact, Eric has appeared in her mind more and more inadvertently recently. At some point, he has become an irreplaceable part of her heart. That is exactly what Raven is afraid of. Whenever the idea of getting closer to someone, the appearance of her father who is red, riding with flames and laughing violently and coldly.
Reven felt that he could not accept Eric, or that he could not establish a deeper connection with the world, otherwise the destined day would only bring deeper pain to more people.
But the last time she faced Ghost, when Ghost was about to kill Eric, she lost her mind and almost risked the danger of attracting Sannomiya... She was a little upset when she thought of this. She didn't know what was wrong with her, and she felt hot at the time and didn't think about anything - that shouldn't be her style at all.
"Hey, is Ruivin here?"
She woke up suddenly when Eric snapped his fingers in front of her. It turned out that she had been distracted for more than twenty minutes without realizing it.
"Nothing." She said lightly, her eyes returning to the book, but her mind was so messy that she couldn't see it at all.
"What a disquiet girl." Eric stood up and touched her head on purpose. "If you are in a bad condition, don't force it. Go out and relax first."
Ruiwen glared at him bluntly, almost exhaling murderous intent: "I said not to touch my head, did you?"
Eric had a cold war: "Don't...don't be so serious, just kidding..."
Well, maybe some people shouldn't be joking. It seems that because of such a small episode, Ruiwen ignored him all the way to the cafeteria.
The dinner in the cafeteria was a little weird again. The aunt who was making the meal threw a piece of green pudding with a strange smell into everyone's plate. She added some strange seasonings, which made people think of dark dishes.
Riven glanced at the pudding, and his eyes seemed quite disgusted, so he pushed it aside.
"Leave it to me." Eric easily took her pudding plate, "I will eat everything you don't want to eat."
Ruiwen lowered his head, was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Why... should I be so kind to me?"
"Ah?" Eric was stunned for a moment and didn't react, then smiled softly, "Why did you suddenly ask such a strange question? Didn't you say it before, because you like you."
He did say so, and he seemed to say that not long after he met him, but Ruiwen didn't take it seriously at the time and had long forgotten.
Was he serious at that time?
Riven felt even more irritable, as if she had never been able to remain calm since she came to Earth. She suddenly stood up and said, "Suddenly I remembered that Aunt Alice had something to say at home today, so she had to go back early...I'll leave first."
After saying that, without waiting for Eric to respond, she picked up her bag and turned around and left without even touching her supper.
"Really." Eric kept smiling and shrugged indifferently. "Some of their words are indeed reasonable--the girls' thoughts are really hard to guess."
After a few seconds of dinner, he poured out two pieces of pudding together.
In fact, he also hates eating this thing. To be honest, it is really hard to imagine that someone will fall in love with such strange food.
Just as we were about to leave the cafeteria, an explosion that almost pierced the eardrum suddenly rang out. The entire building shook and the students screamed.
What's going on? Another explosion? In school?
Eric squeezed out of the cafeteria from the crowd and saw that there was somehow a huge machine that was about ten meters high on the lawn outside. The color of its body made people think of the excavator. The outstretched arms were covered with thick tires, and a cannon barrel that could release high-temperature lasers was followed by a cannon barrel on the right hand, which looked like building specifications.
"What's that?" Eric murmured to himself.
"Apollo Doros' replica." Peter appeared beside him at some point and looked up at the behemoth in surprise. "The one that was supposed to be a new generation large construction engineering machine, developed by a Saudi Arabian company, the prototype cost 90 million US dollars, and it also has the functions of the world's largest crane, a roller concrete mixer with a daily output of 100,000 pounds, and a steel bar cutting machine... But this one is a replica, the prototype is larger than it and has much more accessories."
At the speaking stall, the construction robot had already started to move. When it twisted, it made a low sound of parts colliding, and its heavy fists fell toward the students close to them without saying a word. The students fled in panic, leaving a huge pit on the lawn with their steel fists.
"Okay...well, I guess even the weakened version is quite a problem on college campuses... Big trouble, I mean," Peter said.
Eric sighed and patted his shoulder.
"Put your uniform," he said. "Are you ready to make a brilliant debut in front of many high school fans?"
