Osaka in the East Ocean was the second most important economic city in the East Ocean. The status of Osaka in Kansai was equivalent to the significance of Tokyo in Kansai.
It was just that the prosperity of Osaka lacked a trace of Tokyo's extravagance and the indifference amidst the bustle. Although it was also brightly lit, it had a more reassuring atmosphere of the city.
It was already the beginning of summer. The streets at night began to bustle. The stalls on the street began to prosper again. Various stalls selling snacks were doing their best to attract customers on the commercial street.
Blackgate Market was always bustling at night. It was a famous commercial street in Osaka. Many guests from various countries or travelers from other regions of the East Ocean came to Osaka.
They would choose to shop in this market and taste the local delicacies. At the same time, they would also choose some gifts. As souvenirs of the trip, they would bring them back to distribute to their relatives and friends in their hometown.
"Is it really okay for us to swagger on the street like this?" Peter Parker followed beside Li Jie and asked in a low voice.
Right now, the two of them looked like independent tourists. They strolled around the Blackgate Market with their cameras and backpacks.
"Don't strain yourself too much. If a rubber band is stretched all the time, it will snap one day. It's the same for humans." Li Jie seemed to be very interested in the shop on the street.
It was a shop selling kitchen utensils.
"What a clever little invention. It's very suitable for beginners to use." Li Jie stroked his chin and muttered to himself. At the same time, he picked up a set of kitchenware specially designed for beginners and had a look.
It included a small tool to prevent one's hand from being cut when cutting vegetables and a series of convenient eggbeater. It was not suitable for professional chefs but suitable for families.
"I think you can buy a set. You can try to cook for Gwen next time." Li Jie stuffed the kitchenware set into Peter's arms and walked into the shop to continue browsing other products.
"The others haven't arrived at the East Ocean yet. We don't need to be so anxious. As scouts to attack the outpost, we have to be mentally strong. "
Peter twitched his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Now, Li Jie and Peter had come to Osaka in the East Ocean with their real identities. Because they didn't know how long this matter would take, both of them needed to give their families a plausible excuse.
The simplest excuse was, of course, to ask Harry to help them lie. Harry claimed that he needed to go to the East Ocean to check on the Osborne Group's operations in the East Ocean.
Of course, not all of this was fake. Harry has been the chairman of the Osborne Group for more than half a year. But the focus of his work has always been on North America, his home base, and Europe, his second most important.
There was nothing wrong with this, because these two places were the most crucial. But the Asian market is also huge. Especially the new trump card project that Harry was promoting — the Limb Regeneration Project.
This was very popular all over the world. Whether it was the East Ocean or China, they had extended an olive branch to the Osborne Group.
Unlike Stark Industries' new energy, energy was a double-edged sword. Some people liked it, and some people objected.
Life-saving medical plans were different from debilitating medical plans. Everyone liked them, and everyone cherished their lives. No one knew if they would become disabled one day, or if their children would be born with defects.
Harry Osborne was now a guest of honor in almost every country. Li Jie was also a special adviser to the Osborne Group.
As Harry's personal adviser, Li Jie had always asked Harry to implement a low-key policy. The company's plans had to be high-profile, but the individual had to be low-key.
Because he was too young, it was easy for people to criticize him if he was too high-profile. It was better to leave that to Tony Stark to deal with things that could easily attract hatred.
Harry had spent half a year stabilizing the situation in North America and Europe. Now, he could finally take a breather and take a look around Asia.
So coming to the East Ocean was not only part of Li Jie's plan, but also an important part of Harry's company.
Li Jie, who was a special adviser to the Osborne Group, was asked by Harry to travel with him as his adviser.
Li Jie used this excuse to tell his family, and they had no objection. Although the SAT exam was about to begin, Li Jie didn't plan to go to college, so the SAT didn't matter to him.
The school was very tolerant of Harry Osborne's request because he would be an honorary alumnus in the future. Think about how much prestige he would bring to the school after graduation.
Peter Parker, on the other hand, had it even simpler. He had received an early admission notice from New York University in early April.
He no longer needed to take the SAT. With the double recommendation letters from Dr. Connors and Harry Osborne, as well as a research report on a new polymer he had submitted.
New York University made an exception and admitted Peter Parker in advance. So Peter persuaded his uncle and aunt to go to the East Ocean to see Osborne Group's new technology.
"Do you think Mindy will like this if you give it to her?" Li Jie pointed at the doll in the window of a shop. An ugly and cute strange creature.
The East Ocean has a particularly big shape and imagination in this regard.
"No, this thing is weird. It's ugly and disgusting, but somehow cute? It should feel like this. "Peter shook his head.
"It's ugly and cute. I don't think Mindy would like this kind of thing."
"Is it really good for us to leave Harry in the company for a meeting and run out and wander around?" Peter Parker bit a grilled octopus foot while shopping.
"I brought him enough local specialties." Li Jie raised the plastic bag in his hand, which was full of Osaka specialty snacks.
"Why don't Damon, Frank, and Mike come first?" Peter took a bite of the octopus foot. It tasted better than he thought, but it was a little too tough.
"They were borrowed by Tony. Lan will send them together." Li Jie explained and fed himself an octopus ball.
This is pure Asian food, which is not everywhere in New York, and it tastes good.
"It's just that I don't quite understand why we need to put on makeup when we come out. I don't look very comfortable now. "Peter wanted to scratch his face. But he stopped himself.
The appearance of Peter and Li Jie is not what they really look like. Instead, they used a special method to change their appearance.
"You'd better keep it this way. At least this is the first spell I've mastered. Give me some face, "Li Jie said softly.
"And we're going to meet some local gangsters. Their stronghold is on this street. "Li Jie carried a plastic bag filled with local specialties and snacks.
He was clearly like a tourist who had come to spend money, but he still had to put on a serious face and talk about serious things. Peter did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright. Where are we going now? "
"Well, we're actually here." Li Jie pointed to a shop beside them. It was a Japanese-style building that could be seen everywhere in Yakumo Market.
The exterior wall was decorated with pine wood, a traditional Japanese-style sliding door, and a sign that an izakaya used to attract customers.
