Chapter 553
"Judging from the timeline, Peter Parker came here after leaving the lab."
"Look here, there's a spider on the back of his neck! He's been bitten by a spider!"
"There was no coma, and no abnormal reaction."
"He left."
Watching Peter Parker leave the Osborn Tower with an indignant expression on his face in the surveillance footage, Su Quan's lips curled into a faint, cold smile.
Professor Curt Connors and Peter Parker are both traitors. They should have been working together, but one turned into Lizard Professor and the other into Spider-Man.
That's fine, after all, Professor Curt Connors would be injected with the serum after the experiment was successful, and the deal with Peter Parker also included making him Spider-Man.
But—you can take what I give you; you can't take what I don't give you!
Professor Curt Connors and Peter Parker's actions were tantamount to robbery!
"I will send men to bring them back immediately."
Norman Osborn spoke in a deep voice, "Whether it's Lizard Professor or Spider-Man, they are all Osborn's—no, they are all his assets. No matter the cost, we must get them back for him!"
Su Quan shook his head. "This is a project that Felicia is in charge of, so she will handle it. You handle another matter for me."
"Please speak."
"Dr. Morbius at Horizon Labs is working on a blood-related project, and I want to invest in it, and quickly!"
Norman Osborn had heard of Morbius, the developer of artificial blood and Nobel Prize laureate. There must have been many investors in him and his projects.
However, as the president of Osborn Industries, he still had that much confidence.
"You will definitely hear good news before noon tomorrow!"
"Good."
Norman Osborn waited a moment, and seeing that Su Quan had no further instructions, he left the laboratory with Harry Osborn and Ade.
"Let's go too."
Su Quan and Felicia Hardy left the company and returned to their residence.
Silk and Spider-Girl went to San Francisco and haven't returned yet, so Su Quan left Felicia Hardy behind.
She wasn't left behind because of the long night and lack of sleep—well, at least that wasn't the main reason.
"You don't need to worry about Peter Parker, but you must bring back Lizard Professor, Professor Curt Connors."
"Yes."
Although Felicia Hardy found it troublesome, she did not shirk her responsibility, after all!
With great power comes great responsibility!
If she were content to be an ordinary assistant, she wouldn't have to risk her life to deal with inhuman monsters. But if she wanted to stand on her own and gain a higher position and greater power, she had to bear the corresponding risks and responsibilities.
Su Quan was satisfied with her answer and attitude. He chuckled and said reassuringly, "You are my assistant, so of course I won't let you try to fight a losing battle. If you get scratched or hurt, I'll be the one who suffers."
Felicia Hardy reacted so quickly; as soon as Su Quan said that, she knew her chance had come.
Sure enough, a vial of brightly colored serum appeared in Su Quan's hand.
"This is the Super Soldier Serum, with a 100% success rate. After injection, it can enhance the user's metabolic function and all bodily functions, reaching the peak of human potential."
"And you will age very slowly and live a long time."
Felicia Hardy's eyes lit up instantly. Putting aside all the other benefits, the fact that she would age very slowly was enough to make her ecstatic.
After all, strength is temporary, but beauty lasts a lifetime!
"Pfft—"
At Su Quan's request, Felicia Hardy received the Super Soldier Serum with the utmost honesty.
Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming wave of pain swept over me.
As Black Cat, Felicia Hardy has no outstanding abilities other than Perfect Balance. Her physical qualities are better than those of ordinary people, which is the result of years of training.
These days—if you can cheat, who needs to train on their own!
In terms of physical attributes, the one injected with the Super Soldier Serum is definitely stronger than the original Black Cat.
In terms of abilities, the original Black Cat has extensive experience in hand-to-hand combat and is a highly skilled gymnast and acrobat, which is why she can perform high-difficulty moves in battle and action.
While Felicia Hardy may not be as professional as the original, she has some training and can do some fighting. If we download a Martial Arts Master ability for her later, her combat power will definitely far exceed that of the original.
As for the uniform, needless to say, whether it's the material, function, or defensive capabilities, the Void Battle Bead's uniform is far superior to the original uniform she made herself.
"Well--"
A low murmur arose.
Felicia Hardy woke up.
Su Quan asked with a smile, "How are you feeling?"
Felicia Hardy sensed the changes within herself and said excitedly, "Fantastic! Thank you, Master."
Before anyone knew it, Felicia Hardy had changed her tune.
They used to call him "boss" or "sir," but now, like everyone else, they call him "master."
Su Quan chuckled and said, "Don't thank me yet. I'm going to give you more than just the Super Soldier Serum."
Psychic Abilities activated.
Download the Martial Arts Master's abilities.
In an instant, hundreds of fighting techniques became deeply ingrained in Felicia Hardy's mind. Although it would take some time to fully integrate them and form muscle memory, she was already a highly skilled fighter.
"This—" Felicia Hardy was about to speak in amazement, but Su Quan's favor was not yet over.
A string of ordinary beads was placed on her wrist. With a gentle tap from Su Quan, countless nanoparticles quickly covered her entire body, and in the blink of an eye, she had transformed into a completely different person.
She wore a black bodysuit with white fur trim on her ankles, wrists, and collar. A black blindfold was placed in her eye sockets, both obscuring her appearance and adding a touch of mysterious, nighttime allure.
"Physical fitness, fighting skills, uniforms and equipment, all of that is in place."
"From now on, you have a new identity and a new code name: Black Cat!"
Su Quan looked at her and nodded slightly in satisfaction.
As he looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Compared to the Black Cat in his memory, it seemed to be missing something.
"That's right!"
"It's hair, it's the color of the hair!"
When the original Felicia Hardy turned into Black Cat, she would wear a silver wig!
Hair color won't affect your skills, but it will affect your appearance!
Whether she's a heroine or a villain, strength isn't important; what matters is her looks.
Good looks bring popularity.
Only by gaining popularity can one truly change their destiny.
For example, Kitty, the female lead in Shang-Chi, has an even stronger protagonist aura than Shang-Chi.
Shang-Chi at least started practicing martial arts again, and he also has a bloodline inheritance, so it's understandable that he can change his ways when the wind and clouds blow.
She went from being a stay-at-home girl and a loser at the bottom of society to becoming a pseudo-superhero with dragon scale equipment and superb archery skills. She didn't need any effort or bloodline!
But what was the result? Who remembered her?
The only thing I remember about her is that she's ugly, so ugly that she's excluded from all lists of Marvel's female superheroes!
Many novels that accept all characters, even pretty extras, are not spared, but they made an exception for her, preferring to ruin her character's image rather than accept her...
A classic case of how looks determine destiny!
Getting back to the main point, the hair color issue when Felicia Hardy transforms into Black Cat is easily solved. Su Quan has an ability that he has hardly ever used, called [the ability to modify any machine to have any function he can think of].
Using this ability, the problem was easily solved by modifying Felicia Hardy's Black Cat uniform to have a function that changes hair color.
The silver-haired Black Cat is the real Black Cat!
In addition, it must be said that silver hair really suits Felicia Hardy.
The person is still the same, and the appearance is still the same, but the originally pleasing features have instantly become the kind that amazes at first glance, and even the temperament has changed. It can be said that the charm has increased many times!
Then...
One night, fish and dragons danced.
The next day.
Felicia Hardy left the hotel early in the morning, ready to begin the search for and capture of Professor Curt Connors.
Su Quan wasn't idle either. He pulled out a BMW motorcycle from the inventory and sped off, roaring as he arrived at Gwen Stacy's building.
A few minutes later, Gwen Stacy, wearing Boots, came out. When she saw Su Quan sitting on the motorcycle, she was first slightly stunned in disbelief, and then happily ran over.
"What are you doing here?" Gwen Stacy asked with a smile, holding Su Quan's arms with both hands.
"I'll pick you up."
