77 Chapter 77. The Rich Rely on Science, While the Poor Rely on Mutation! Tony: Give Me a Mutant Spider to Study!

[Soon, Peter brushed away all the spiders from his body and walked out of the Biocable Development Unit.]

[Gwen Stacy saw him walking back, and she took away his intern pass.]

[But just then, a mutant spider crawled on Peter's neck and bit him.]

[Peter was startled and casually crushed the mutant spider.]

[Later, he got on the subway, ready to go home.]

[But when he was lying on the subway seat to rest, suddenly someone jokingly approached and placed a bottle on Peter's head.]

[When the condensed water drops on the bottle flowed down to Peter's forehead, he opened his eyes and turned his body. Not only knocking the bottle on his forehead down, but he also jumped toward the ceiling of the carriage like a spring!]

"What... what was that?"

Looking at himself on all fours, sticking upside down on the ceiling, Peter's eyes were wide open. He could hardly believe his eyes.

'What happened to my body?'

[In the video, Peter was stunned by his own actions and jumped down from the ceiling.]

[At this moment, Peter heard a woman next to him complaining about being splashed with beer and quickly stepped forward to try to apologise.]

[Who knew that his hand would get stuck on the woman's clothes and cause a scuffle.]

["Get your hand off her!"]

[Faced with several men rushing up, Peter was clumsy, but he had great strength. He raised his hand and threw all those men to the ground.]

["I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."]

[Looking at a group of men who were knocked to the ground, and two women who stood to the side, with eyes full of fear, Peter looked at his hand, and his eyes showed surprise.]

[It seemed he had gained some sort of power.]

"Is... is this me?"

Looking at himself on screen, casually knocking down those men, Peter involuntarily gulped, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He had always been a calm kid growing up and almost never got into a fight!

Even if there was, it would be the same as it was with Flash, a one-side beating!

Suddenly, Tony burst out laughing...

"Interesting. Kid, is this your 'Venom' power?"

Looking at the big screen in front of him, Tony slightly nodded.

"Well ... although the way you jumped to the ceiling was kind of shocking, but ..."

Before he finished asking, Natasha suddenly interjected...

"Spider."

"What?"

Tony twisted his head in some confusion, seemingly not understanding why Natasha would mention spiders at this point.

At this time, Strange also nodded somberly.

"Tony, in the video just now, Peter looked like a spider on the ceiling."

Loki listened thoughtfully, suddenly looked up, and said...

"The kid seems to have been bitten by that strange spider before he left that company."

"What?"

Hearing that, Peter suddenly felt his hair stand on end. Goosebumps came out all over his body.

"Are you kidding?"

Peter exclaimed, looking at Loki as if he was hoping it was a joke...

"If getting bit by a spider would give you superpowers, the streets would be littered with spider people."

Loki shrugged his shoulders. The trademark evil grin appeared on his face again....

"I'm just saying that it might be a possibility. I'm not saying that's necessarily the case."

"But ..." Loki stretched the word.

"If I remember correctly, the man with only one hand in the video just now seems to be studying ... how to transplant animal abilities into humans."

Hearing that, there was a sudden silence in the live streaming room.

Peter's face turned pale. A creepy feeling instantly swept through his body, making his hands and feet cold.

'Are you kidding?!'

'Was Professor Connors's research at that stage?'

'I was ... just bitten by a spider.'

'Will there be any horrible after-effects?'

'Would I turn into... some kind of spider monster?'

Looking at Peter Parker turning pale, in a daze, Tony quickly stepped forward and shook his shoulder...

"Don't panic; anyway, you haven't been bitten yet. Moreover, the abilities you would acquire in the future may not be related to spiders."

While recalling, Tony said...

"Just that blue Biocable unit was filled with hundreds and thousands of spiders."

"If these spiders bite a random person, it can transform them into super-humans with spider powers..."

"That Oscorp would have made legions of such super-humans!"

Looking at the colour returning to Peter's face, Tony seriously said...

"Believe me, if any company has mastered this method of manufacturing super-humans, they would have made batches and batches of them. They would probably sign a contract with the military or something and make a lot of money."

"Why are they still hiding these spiders away... to make... some kind of Bio-cable?"

"It's almost like throwing away gold and replacing it with stone, isn't it?"

What Tony said made sense. Peter's pounding heart gradually calmed down.

But then Tony began to whisper in his heart...

'Peter's weird spider-like abilities in other videos about the future wouldn't have anything to do with the previous spider bite, right? It seems so...'

'But why him?'

Thinking of that, Tony's eyes suddenly lit up.

'Could it be that... not only was the spider unusual, but Peter himself had something special?'

[The video continued.]

[Peter arrived home, and Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei blamed him for coming home late.]

[But at that moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and caught a fly, flying in the air.]

'Awesome dynamic vision!'

'Great reflexes!'

Natasha's pupils narrowed when she saw that.

As an agent who graduated from the Red Room, with one glance, she could see Peter's abilities.

Or rather, it was almost super-human!

[After letting go of the fly, Peter suddenly felt an indescribable hunger. He immediately opened the refrigerator and began to eat crazily.]

Seeing that, Strange slightly frowned.

"His body is consuming a lot of energy. That's why he needs to replenish so urgently."

"Consuming energy? What do you mean?" Tony curiously asked.

"I don't really know."

Strange spread his arms, "After all, what we are doing now is just guessing."

Tony looked back, disappointed. He muttered to himself in a low voice...

"Energy? If a car is filled with gas, you should really take it out for a drive."

As if to confirm Tony's words, the picture on screen soon changed to the next day.

[Peter just woke up from his sleep and went to the bathroom to wash and get ready.]

[Who knew that his strength seemed to have grown overnight. With just one stretch of his hand, he twisted off the bathroom faucet and the handle of the door!]

Seeing that, Natasha breathed a sigh of relief...

"Super-human powers? It seems that you didn't eat that much food for nothing last night. Your body needed it to transform."

"Transform?"

Peter was dumbfounded, but he couldn't say anything.

[The video continued.]

[After returning to his room, Peter found that his eyesight had improved by several times. he could see small things very clearly.]

[Even his hands and feet seemed to have some kind of stickiness, making all kinds of things stick to them.]

[Finally, he noticed something strange. Peter quickly went online and started frantically searching for all kinds of information about spiders.]

[However, after finding no answer on the Internet, Peter turned his attention to the research materials left by his father.]

[In order to study one of the formulas recorded in the information, Peter went to buy a specialised book.]

[In the process of research, he found that the author of this book happened to be Professor Connors.]

[After thinking for a while, Peter finally made a decision and knocked on the door of Professor Connors's house.]

[Peter disclosed his identity and had a conversation with Professor Connors.]

["I read your book."]

[Peter hesitated and asked, "So you... Do you really think it's possible? Cross-species genetics?"]

["Yes, of course."]

[Professor Connors said, "But... For years your father and I were mocked for our theories."]

["Not just in the community at large, but at Oscorp as well. They called us mad scientists."]

["And then your father bred the spiders... And everything changed."]

["The results were beyond encouraging. It was spectacular."]

[Professor Connors's face looked extremely excited, "We were going to change the lives of millions. Including my own."]

["Then it was over. He... he was gone."]

[Professor Connors looked very disappointed, "He took his research results with him. An I knew that without him I... I... I was on my own."]

[Looking at Professor Connors, whose face was full of loss, Peter finally couldn't help but ask...]

["Say... Say it worked. Say you got it to work. Like... how much would the foreign species take over?"]

["What... what could the side effects be?"]

[Professor Connors helplessly said, "It's hard to say, considering no subject survived. The problem was always ..."]

[Peter interjected, "The decay rate algorithm?"]

[The professor nodded, "Right."]

[After getting a positive answer, Peter looked for a pencil on the professor's desk without saying anything. Then, he wrote down a formula on paper.]

[Looking at the formula, Professor Connors's expression was full of surprise.]

["Extraordinary..."]

[He looked at Peter with a look of disbelief and curiosity.]

["How did you come up with this?"]

[Peter didn't tell him about the notes left by his father but simply pointed to his own head with the pencil and smiled awkwardly.]

[Seeing that, Professor Connors asked, "Peter, how would you feel about coming to see me at the tower one day, after school?"]

"Hahahaha..."

Seeing that, Loki suddenly looked at Peter and laughed.

"Smart boy, it seems that I underestimated you before. You seem to have a talent for lying to move up in the world!"

Looking at Peter up and down, Loki thoughtfully smiled...

"How about it? Do you want to be my apprentice? Can I teach you all the best tricks of the Nine Realms!"

Hearing Loki's words, Peter only felt his face heat up a little bit.

He saw it clearly on screen. The reason he revealed that formula to Professor Connors was to study this ... cross-species genetics!

That was the only way for him to understand the problems that were happening to his body.

From the looks of things, Peter's move could be said to have been a complete success.

However, while rejoicing for himself, Peter frowned.

The spider that bit him was actually invented by his father.

In that case, his future superpowers.... Was it also related to his father?

At that moment, seeing that Loki seemed to want to take Peter as an apprentice, Tony came up directly in front of Peter, blocking Loki's view, and at the same time spoke in a righteous tone...

"Kid, you should be my student. I'll teach you all my scientific knowledge and... some of my pick-up techniques. I can make you the most extraordinary billionaire in that world and the most famous scientist!"

Peter's face flushed red as he listened, and he quickly rejected it, saying...

"Mr Stark, what are you talking about? I don't need to learn how to pick up girls!"

Seeing that, Natasha, who was standing aside, actually laughed...

"What tricks? What pickup lines? Are you guys trying to ruin this kid's life?"

Natasha slightly lifted her chin and proudly said...

"According to the kid's qualifications and super-human abilities, he might as well learn how to be a special agent from me. He could use his abilities for the good of the world."

"Something like world peace?"

Hearing that, Tony couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Then he laughed and told Natasha...

"I don't know which spy organisation you belong to, but do you really believe that doing shady things is for the good of the world?"

Speaking of that, Tony's expression suddenly turned cold...

"I've been dealing with the military all my life. I know better than anyone that the biggest threat to world peace is people like you, who hide in the shadows!"

"Don't even think about dragging this kid into your dark world!"

"What did you say?!"

Natasha was furious. Suddenly, there was a murderous look in her eyes.

Seeing that Loki, Tony and Natasha were going to fight, Peter quickly put out the fire, stressing that he only intended to ask Tony for advice on scientific research problems, which finally settled the dispute.

After a sigh of relief, Peter looked at Tony and spoke with some misgivings...

"According to Professor Connors, the mutant spider that gave me superpowers was actually invented by my father..."

"In that case, is my ability related to my father?"

Although he was separated from his parents since he was only a few years old, Peter still wanted to know about his parents.

Now it seems that his only hope may be this mutant spider!

Looking at the expectation in Peter's eyes, Tony raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed...

"Well, if you really want to know that, then get one of those spiders, and give it to me in the next live stream. I'll go back and do some thorough research. Let's see what's so special about these spiders."

"Sneak in and steal important materials? Kind of interesting."

Natasha suddenly interrupted...

"Kid, if you really want to guarantee success without causing chaos, I suggest you ask me for advice..."

"After all, I am a professional."

Speaking of that, Natasha's face suddenly showed a hint of pride.

This was the confidence of the world's top agent!
