Chapter 37: Level 6
Unknowingly, Parker had regarded Bruce as his mentor in life. And now, Bruce was secretly examining Parker’s abilities.
Still defective huh.
“In the future, you will do these things by yourself.”
When Parker heard this, he did not understand what Bruce meant. But he did manage to guess something off of that.
“Mr. Bruce, you …Are you leaving?”
Parker was a little sad, after all, he thought that everything he had was given to him by Bruce.
He knew that Bruce might have some kind of special identity, but in the end, he chose not to ask.
“Yes, I still have a lot to deal with, but we will meet again someday.”
Bruce looked at Parker with a smile.
After hearing Bruce’s last words, the sad Parker showed a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
‘Meet again someday!’
Parker knew that he was not currently strong enough.
But, if Bruce were to be in a dangerous situation one day, he hoped that he could fight with Bruce side by side at that time.
“I will wait for that day!” He was still a little sad, but he did not show it in front of his mentor.
Bruce also knew that he had become something of a father-like figure to Parker, which ultimately, accomplished his goal.
“Peter, this is the training plan I made for you. You must strictly follow this plan’s instructions.”
Subsequently, Bruce took out a document.
The most important thing in this document was the training plan for Parker’s Adsorbent-ability.
The New York War was inching closer and closer, and Bruce hoped that Peter’s Adsorbent-ability would be complete by the time it began.
“I will, Mr. Bruce!”
Parker’s eyes revealed his determination. He vowed not to let himself become a burden to Bruce.
Afterwards, Bruce left.
After leaving Parker’s home, Bruce soon returned to his residence.
He opened his panel and looked at all the abilities he got.

Compared to just a while ago, Bruce had a lot of abilities. But the ones he could actually call ‘Superpowers’ were only two.
The first one was the Anti-aging gene, and the second one was the Spider Telepathy he obtained recently.
The reason they qualified to be called ‘Superpowers,’ was because they had broken through humanity’s limits.
With so many powerful abilities through, Bruce could also be deemed as something of a Superhero.
Especially the combination of Spider Telepathy, Super vision and Marksman. Those three combined could bring a really unexpected effect.
There are two more days left before I have to go back to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Bruce sighed, he had improved too much in the past month.
Something that others may spend their whole life on without any success, he had achieved in just a month.
He was just an ordinary level 3 agent a month ago. But now, he was comparable to a superhero, and he could even affect the course of events of the upcoming New York War.
Before the beginning of the New York War though, he still had two goals. To download Parker’s Adsorbent ability as well as Captain America’s abilities.
Only after doing that would he be able to face the New York War without any scruples.
I hope my guess is right!
And so, Bruce decided to take the next two days off. In just a blink of an eye though, the two days passed by.
After cleaning everything up, Bruce drove away from the place he lived for the last month. And after just a few hours, he reached The Avengers Base.
Unlike before, the guards around the Avengers Base seemed to be a lot more strict and numerous.
But he did not receive any obstructions, and he directly entered the base.
In the hall, Zoe and a group of agents came into his view.
“Hey Bruce, how have you been?” Bill was very excited after seeing Bruce.
The other low-level agents though, after seeing Bruce, all slightly bowed to show their respect.
Bruce courteously responded to them, and then stood in front of Zoe: “Hi, sir.”
Zoe nodded with a smile.
He was very satisfied with the things that Bruce did this month, especially so after reading Hawkeye’s report when he came back.
“Your work is very good, and the top management is very satisfied,” said Zoe.
Bruce smiled, but did not respond. He seemed to be waiting for something.
“From today onwards, Bruce Lite is officially promoted to a level 6 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent!”
After that, he gave Bruce his new uniform and work permit he had prepared in advance.
After Zoe’s announcement, the agents in the room all stopped what they were doing, faced Bruce and slightly bowed again.
“Mr. Bruce!”
“Mr. Bruce!”
After his sudden change in identity, some of the agents began to envy him even more.
Regardless, Bruce just smiled.
“Well Bruce, the task reward will be transferred to your account sometime later today. Right now though, since you’re back, there is another more important thing we have to discuss.”
Zoe’s expression was very serious when he mentioned that last matter.
Bruce smiled, it seemed like his prediction was correct.
