Chapter 004: Spider-Man's Island Crisis
Thirdly, what I enjoy is gaming rather than comics. Moreover, not everyone who reads comics or plays games is a recluse. In this day and age, there are not many affordable hobby options. Furthermore, those who enjoy comics and games are often much more successful in their careers than you are
Simply perfect
Shen Yan felt somewhat speechless. He actually wanted to sarcastically say, "Do you think this is a café or a Western restaurant? We are on a bus, so why are you asking me which seat to take? Moreover, there are plenty of empty seats on this bus, so why sit next to me? Don't pretend like you just got on the bus; my memory is quite good, and you are one of those chatty women from earlier! Are you trying to flirt with me? Don't pretend like you just got on the bus; my memory is quite good, and you are one of those chatty women from earlier! Are you trying to flirt with me?
... ...
Haha ~ thinking of something funny, Shen Yan amused himself. The result was evident; others moved further away from him.
Is this the type of tight suit that Spider-Man wears? Wow, the muscles look so real, your physique is truly impressive
I was just venting, do you understand what venting means! Don't you know the saying "A spider won't last past three, and if it does, it must be reshot"? Shen Yan's heart was struggling in pain, frustration, madness, and rage. He couldn't help but start to blame himself, thinking, why did I take off the hood just now? Why? Being looked down upon by others won't kill me, but right now I really want to die
"May I sit here?" A rather pretty young woman stood in front of him, asking while pointing to the seat right next to him
Because I am wearing the nano-biochemical suit from Crisis on Infinite Earths! Shen Yan said, unable to contain his frustration, what on earth is Spider-Man.
Miss, I noticed that you are salivating excessively
Miss, we do not make arrangements for children, and certainly not for gossips
For a hardcore RPG enthusiast, how could one attend a gaming expo without engaging in role-playing? Shen Yan had long been prepared for this.
Important matters should be emphasized with a bullet point
But a man must always consider the future
Just like this Cosplay event, due to his interests, Shen Yan had previously gained some understanding of the anime and gaming industry—an industry that is increasingly loved by young people, including some affluent individuals. Such events indeed foster a significant amount of money and job opportunities. Importantly, the opportunities in this industry are generally very flexible regarding working hours, never requiring a strict nine-to-five schedule, and part-time work is also acceptable
Chen Xiaoyu always accuses him of having impure motives, and indeed, there is reason behind it
Under the gaze of Shen Yan's disapproving eyes, the young lady reluctantly withdrew her small hand and earnestly declared, "In fact, I am also an anime enthusiast, truly!"
Is there really a fourth installment? That's amazing! When will it be released? Sister, will you please watch it with me? By the way, are you wearing this outfit to the comic convention to promote the movie? Don't worry, I will definitely go to the cinema to support you! Sister, I will treat you to the movie then. Let's add each other on WeChat first, shall we...
Hehe, role-playing is originally a form of self-entertainment and does not require the understanding of others
Are you a model? This is a costume, right? Did the company arrange for you to participate in the anime exhibition and walk the runway? How old are you this year, have you graduated from university? Can you guess how many fingers this is?
True rich second-generation individuals, such as a certain Cong, can spend all day reading comics and playing games, yet still be considered handsome and wealthy. An uncle with HIV living in a slum still attracts female university students, which is a problem that needs to be addressed.
I know that there is some kind of comic exhibition in Pudong today, and many assorted people are participating. When I passed by in the car this morning, I saw many people dressed like that on the street
In any case, the carriage finally fell silent, and Shen Yan quietly let out a sigh of relief, beginning to contemplate the tasks he needed to undertake at the expo. This was not Shen Yan's first time attending a game expo, but it was his first time participating in live cosplay and book events
The only requirement for newcomers in this industry is "talent," and Shen Yan firmly believes that he possesses great talent—I've even got superpowers, so my talent must be overflowing everywhere! That's how confident I am!
Even though there are fewer people taking the bus on weekends, it shouldn't be this empty. However, when he sat in the back row of the bus, he found that people were leaving their seats one after another, and soon his surroundings were completely deserted, with not even a shadow in sight. For Shen Yan, who had been popular since childhood, this was truly a rare experience
In theory, although Shen Yan enjoys role-playing games, he is not fanatical to this extent
He cannot shift all the pressure onto women while pretending not to see it himself. Therefore, Shen Yan is also making efforts to expand his network, actively participating in social activities, and seeking opportunities for financial breakthroughs. In simple terms, he wants to get rich
Shen Yan had a blank expression
Is this what is referred to online as a "hikikomori"? Isn't it a specialty of Japan? Does it also exist in China?
From this perspective, it is simply perfect for Shen Yan
This time, Shen Yan put a lot of thought into his role-playing. Not only did he create a set of very "nano" tight-fitting fabric suits, but he also specially ordered a semi-professional roller bow from Amazon, equipping it with an infrared targeting device to give it a rather "professional" appearance. When he put on the entire outfit, he resembled the nano soldier from Crisis Island to a great extent, making it easy for those familiar with him to recognize him at a glance! The preparation of the roller bow was because it was the main weapon introduced in the third generation of the game, intended to hint at the identity of the Prophet (Akatz).

My favorite is Spider-Man, and I have watched several of the movies many times! The girl's fingers lingered on his arm muscles, her eyes clearly not focused on the clothes. "The clothes are fine, but your helmet doesn't look right."
I apologize, but it seems I have arrived at my destination
Despite the fact that after removing his helmet, Shen Yan did not make any other movements, he merely lowered his head to look at his helmet, slightly furrowing his brow as if pondering some issue, yet his face still attracted all attention. The reason why otaku are rejected by society is not solely due to their subcultural interests, but because this group lacks both financial resources and physical attractiveness. In Japan, there is a program that investigates the otaku community, specifically editing together clips of all the unattractive men and their outrageous remarks, creating an episode that serves as a compendium of short, overweight, and ugly individuals, effectively distorting and vilifying this group.

However, he could only grumble inwardly; after all, he couldn't just stand up and beat someone up over this, could he? As for reasoning, who is willing to reason with you now? By the way, Shen Yan actually wanted to say, I don't want to wear tight-fitting clothes directly while taking the bus either. I have a long trench coat in my bag—if I wear tight-fitting clothes underneath and put on the trench coat over it, you wouldn't call me a nerd anymore...! You would say I am a pervert!

You, as a white-collar worker, are out of touch with this. Let me tell you, there are more and more people like this nowadays! Not only do they avoid society and have no jobs, but they also spend all day hiding at home playing games, reading comics, reading novels, and relying on their parents. They are completely a burden to society
We have said—this is an era that values appearances
Fourth ... ? ... I still have superpowers (although what is currently manifested is just good physical strength), do you have any
Isn't it quite common? During chats, many people share that image of 'Four-Temple Steamed Goose Heart', which essentially means 'Dead Otaku is really disgusting'...
Of course, the main reason is that there is no need to show one's face, and this outfit suits his physique perfectly...! The protagonist in Crisis on the Island is a true iron-blooded man, yet now he is mistakenly identified as a high school Spider-Man, which is simply intolerable
In summary, being treated with such cold violence is quite unpleasant, even for someone as broad-minded as Shen Yan. ... Of course, there is also a small intention of playful retaliation involved, which is why Shen Yan took off the helmet he was wearing ... . ... Then, the latter half of the bus suddenly became quiet.
Secondly, I have a girlfriend and quite a few friends! My life and social interactions are very healthy
Part Four. In the face of such questioning, he shamefully backed down
Knowing that the atmosphere at the exhibition area would be bustling and that the nearby restrooms would be crowded all day, Shen Yan had already found a restroom to change into a complete set of gear before getting on the bus. This is also why those men in black could see him but did not recognize him. However, when he boarded the bus heading to Pudong in his "strange attire," he realized that he seemed to have become an outlier in the crowd
"Comics? How disgusting. How old are you to still be reading comics?"
Shen Yan raised his head and scrutinized the other party
In order to gain "superpowers," it appears that Shen Yan must continue to diligently work in the position of "health quarantine," which offers little financial prospects. This can be seen as the price one must pay to acquire superpowers, which is merely a slight side effect. However, he also needs to earn a living; despite being young and not yet considering entering the marriage hall with Chen Xiaoyu, he has witnessed her mother's unpleasant demeanor more than once, making reality somewhat uncomfortable for him.
The brazen remarks truly left Shen Yan at a loss for words—"Ladies, why are you so gossipy?" Even if prejudice is omnipresent, I am merely taking a ride; who are you speaking so loudly for? Moreover, first of all, I have a stable job. The poisonous pork that you all refrain from eating each month is precisely what I am keeping away from your mouths.
"Crysis? Which installment of Spider-Man is that?" The girl leaned slightly forward, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge, pressing against Shen Yan's arm as if to say, "If you don't tell me, I might just bite you."
Under the influence of a group of women, the previously "quiet" young lady transformed as soon as she sat down, becoming a familiar chatterbox. She incessantly struck up conversations with Shen Yan, asking this and that, and even poked her finger at the chest of his tight-fitting outfit, before pretending to be shy and letting out a couple of soft calls.
A woman's courage is directly proportional to the number of her companions... A woman walking alone at night is afraid, but a group of women dares to go out and kidnap a fierce man... Police sister, I want to report a crime, it seems that someone here wants to act like a rogue, or rather, a female rogue
Under the intense gaze of Shen Yan, the young lady appeared somewhat flustered. However, with the support of her friends' eyes, she mustered the courage to sit down next to Shen Yan. Once she settled in, she realized that as long as she let go of her reserve, it wasn't so difficult after all. Then, the several women who had been chatting with her earlier pretended to be strangers and each moved to sit around her.
How could he dress like that, still in tight-fitting clothes, is he a pervert
Upon seeing the bus enter the station, he immediately escaped through the back door without saying a word
If it were just this, it would at most leave a deep impression on Shen Yan. However, the subsequent unabashed discussions made it somewhat unbearable for him
Crysis is a hardcore shooting game known for its outstanding graphics and character design, with the nanosuit being the core equipment of the game. Unlike traditional concepts of exoskeleton armor and energy shields, the nanosuit is a flexible protective suit made from biological tissue, yet it is capable of enhancing the human body and blocking shrapnel.
Unfortunately, to portray the wizard White Wolf, one needs to dye their hair white; to play the Fire Keeper, it is impossible to acquire a full set of robust armor. Moreover, in order to avoid being seen by acquaintances, it is necessary to exclude all characters that reveal one's face. After much consideration, the only option that both appeals to Shen Yan and highlights certain advantages is the relatively niche protagonist from Crysis 3—wearing a full-body "Nano Suit" along with a fully enclosed helmet, ensuring no face is shown. This not only perfectly conceals his identity but also suggests that Alcatraz has been assimilated by his Nano Suit and transformed into a prophet.
