Gwen was fooled. 

 When she heard Merlin's agreement, not only Gwen, but also the seductively dressed girl opposite was even more confused.

She stood on the street, watching two young lovers passing by and just wanted to flirt with them casually, but she didn't expect the boy to actually agree.

"Here's the money. My house is upstairs. Come with me." Merlin took out thirty dollars and handed it to her who was still a little dazed, then walked towards the Wall Apartments.

"Hey, Merlin, do you know what you're doing?" Gwen finally reacted when she saw Merlin giving money, and then anxiously chased after him and asked.

She was still confused and didn't understand why Merlin agreed to such a thing.

"I know. Thirty dollars a time isn't that expensive." Merlin looked at the anxious Gwen, a smile flashing in his eyes, but he didn't explain.

The girl looked at the thirty dollars in her hand, thought of Merlin's handsome and childish face, licked her lips excitedly, and hurriedly followed.

It must be that the two young lovers had a quarrel, and I took advantage of the opportunity.

This young boy is not at a loss even if he loses money. I didn't expect to get an unexpected reward today...

"You knew and still...!" Gwen was suddenly a little angry. Looking at Merlin with a calm expression, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

...

All the way back home, Gwen watched Merlin bring the girl into the room, then she returned to her house angrily and slammed the door.

"Gwen, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Mrs. Stacy, who was sitting in the living room, was a little surprised when she saw her daughter slam the door in angrily.

"I think you'd better go to Merlin's house and take a look." Gwen crossed her arms and said with a pout.

"Merlin? What's wrong with him?" Mrs. Stacy was stunned for a moment. In her heart, although Merlin was a little withdrawn, he was also a strong and sensible child.

"He...he brought a girl home from the street."

"What? Oh my God, is it true?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Stacy sat up in shock.

"You'll find out when you go and see."

...

"Come on, handsome boy, I will definitely make you feel comfortable." As soon as she entered the door, the girl squatted down and approached Merlin with watery eyes.

Both hands were stretched out impatiently.

"I know people of your age are very hot-tempered. Let me help you calm down first."

"Compared to your girlfriend, I can handle any position, and I can definitely make you feel the pleasure of heaven."

"Wait, wait, can you really do anything?" Merlin looked at the girl who almost wanted to eat him, and quickly stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Of course, as long as it's not too perverted, I can bear it." The girl gave him a seductive look. She didn't expect that this handsome boy was such an interesting person.

"That's good!"

But when the girl saw what Merlin was going to ask her to do, she suddenly became numb.

Is this something a human could think of?

...

…

"Oh, shit, this is too much!"

"Can't you do anything?"

"I mean I can do anything? But what you asked me to do..." The girl in the room seemed a little difficult to express.

Mrs. Stacy and Gwen outside the door immediately widened their eyes when they heard what was said inside.

"Bang, bang, bang!!!"

"Merlin, open the door!" Mrs. Stacy knocked on the door quickly. She didn't object to Merlin's actions, but he wanted to have a normal relationship, not just find someone on the street.

What should I do if I get sick?

"Here it comes!"

Soon, Merlin opened the door and looked at Mrs. Stacy, whose face looked a little dark, in confusion.

"Gwen told me everything!" Mrs. Stacy took a deep breath and tried to speak in a calm tone.

"Listen kid, I know about puberty, but don't touch anything like this."

"What are you talking about?" Merlin opened the door and revealed the situation in the room.

"The three of us had a barbecue on the balcony yesterday and left a lot of dishes in the sink that we hadn't had time to clean. She said she could do anything for thirty dollars."

Inside the room, the girl was wearing an apron with a depressed look on her face, and she kept complaining.

"Oh my god, can't you just soak some dishwashing liquid in water? It will harden the edges of the bowl and make it hard to clean."

"I'm really unlucky today. I actually encountered something like you."

"I'm so stupid. This guy already has a girlfriend, how could he possibly be interested in someone like me?"

"This is a scam!"

Gwen: "..."

Mrs. Stacy: "..."

...

Looking at the girl standing in the kitchen cleaning the dishes angrily, Stacy and her daughter were stunned for a moment.

"So, you asked her to wash the dishes for you?" Mrs. Stacy was a little confused about Merlin's train of thought.

"Yes, and it would be a waste of time to find a housekeeper. I have things to do myself."

"She said thirty dollars would do anything, so I just gave it to her."

Stacy and her daughter: "..."

That makes a lot of sense...

Gwen looked at the smile in Merlin's eyes and realized that she had been fooled.

Although it was different from what she expected, but... her fist was hard!

If she wasn't afraid of accidentally beating Merlin to death, she would definitely let him have a taste of her fist.

Mrs. Stacy looked at her daughter's face full of shame and anger, and seemed to understand something.

"Okay, you just take care of yourself. I can do this next time." She shook her head with amusement and left.

Gwen stayed and began to denounce Merlin.

Girl: "No one speaks up for me?"

If you are doing housework at home, thirty dollars per time is definitely not enough, but if you are just washing dishes, there is no problem with the payment.

Looking at the two high school students bickering and playing on the sofa, she complained a few words in her heart and continued to scrub the dishes with steel wool.

This time is definitely not enough to soften the solidified stains on the bowl.

Although it is different from what I expected, it's fine as long as I can get the money.

...

"Come and take a look at this, this is the experimental algorithm that Peter sent me." After the two argued for a while, Merlin pulled Gwen over and they looked at the email from Peter on the notebook together.

Merlin wasn't lying, he did have things to do.

Gwen was much better at biological research than himself, and she was also an intern under Professor Connors.

As for why Peter wanted to find him, it was because he had previously thought that Peter was the future Spider-Man, so during the conversation he mentioned something related to the calculation of the decay rate of cross-species genetic experiments.

"Peter sent it to you?" Gwen was a little surprised, and then concentrated on checking the data in the notebook.

But soon, her brows furrowed.

"Lizard regeneration gene, isn't this Professor Connors' research project?"

For some reason, she suddenly thought of the lizard man that appeared in the convention center last night.

"Yes, Peter seems to be involved in this project as well. This is what we were talking about this morning."

"Because the decay rate was too fast during the experiment, the success rate of the experiment also decreased rapidly, which then triggered a series of unknown complications."

"There must be some problem with the algorithm."

Gwen slid the mouse, enlarged the experimental data, and examined it carefully.

For some reason, ever since she gained the ability of a spider, she has become more and more adept at studying biological genes.

Therefore, after seeing the experimental data, she quickly found the problem.

After determining the problem, she skillfully found paper and pen from Merlin's room and began to write.

"Swish, swish..." The tip of the pen kept rubbing on the blank notebook, and soon, a string of simple formulas appeared on the paper.

After making several corrections, she quickly came to Merlin, took the notebook and started typing.

"Let's try it out sometime. This algorithm should work."
