Doctor Otto

Regardless of the impending love-hate entanglement between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, Chen Changsheng was already driving to Dr. Otto's house to discuss cooperation matters. However, the official reason for Chen Changsheng's visit was a "Dialogue Between University Students and Famous Scientists"...

This was Chen Changsheng's excuse. After all, from the outside perspective, Chen Changsheng had always been someone majoring in biology.

Chen Changsheng's biggest impression after communicating with Dr. Otto was that he was a pure scholar.

Dr. Otto's greatest pursuit was to complete the nuclear fusion experiment and contribute his part to human technological progress.

After a pleasant conversation with Dr. Otto, Chen Changsheng learned that Otto was not only an expert in nuclear physics but also extremely skilled in mechanical manufacturing and software engineering.

Chen Changsheng naturally believed Dr. Otto's words, as he was the future Doctor Octopus.

If nothing else, those four mechanical arms, far more flexible than human ones, were the best proof, not to mention the nuclear fusion reactor designed by Dr. Otto.

From this conversation, Chen Changsheng felt that Dr. Otto was more suitable as a friend than Tony Stark. After all, someone who earnestly taught and constantly strived for human technological progress was more convincing than a playboy.

Coincidentally, Dr. Otto was currently at a research bottleneck and found it difficult to achieve greater success without funding.

At the same time, Otto's brain had been overworked for too long and needed to relax and rest for a while; he wasn't a robot, after all.

Chen Changsheng extended an invitation to Dr. Otto, wanting him to design some specialized auxiliary weapons for his Bio-Tyrant, and offered a considerable reward.

This was a piece of cake for Dr. Otto. Money wasn't the issue; as a world-class nuclear physics expert, Dr. Otto didn't lack small sums of money, but rather the billions needed to create a "man-made sun"...

After Chen Changsheng described his requirements for the Tyrant's weapons, Dr. Otto immediately stated that he already had some ideas.

Good heavens, was this the world of the greats? It was comparable to Tony Stark. Chen Changsheng, a pseudo-genius, trembled.

After happily bidding farewell to Dr. Otto, Chen Changsheng went to see Dr. Connors.

Dr. Connors had officially joined Umbrella Corporation. Chen Changsheng also gave Dr. Connors the title of Chief of Umbrella's Biological Research Department, specializing in gene fusion.

Chen Changsheng allowed Dr. Connors to recruit his own scientists, with salaries paid at the highest industry rates.

Chen Changsheng did not help Dr. Connors restore his severed arm, believing that need breeds motivation. He was confident that Dr. Connors would soon research the potion Chen Changsheng desired.

Without the past emotional baggage, Dr. Connors became even more proactive. He dedicated himself wholeheartedly to intensive research work every day. Dr. Connors had already made significant progress on a temporary controllable gene enhancement potion and was expected to achieve results soon.

Although these could not be monetized for now, they held immense future prospects. After all, internal superiority was an insatiable human desire.

Gene potions that could treat disabilities would be the most promising projects in the future. Who could guarantee they would remain healthy their entire lives? They would inevitably need to contact companies like his.

Overall, Dr. Connors' life had become better and happier.

The only thing that saddened Dr. Connors was that his favorite student, Peter Parker, had left him. Even though Dr. Connors repeatedly invited Peter to his laboratory, Peter still refused, and a rift had formed between them.

Dr. Connors knew why. After all, during the battle in the sewers, they had both seen through each other's identities. Even the most magnanimous person would inevitably have some lingering resentment.

Especially for Spider-Man, who hated evil?

Whether it was Peter Parker or Dr. Connors, the feeling of being good teacher and friend was gone. If they were together now, they would only think of the life-and-death struggle in the sewers...

Therefore, Peter Parker refused Dr. Connors' invitation and changed his major.

Of course, Peter had other reasons. As Spider-Man, Peter couldn't devote too much energy to participating in Dr. Connors' endless research.

Peter Parker would one day realize what he had missed, but he probably wouldn't regret it. After all, he was Spider-Man, a good friend to the citizens of New York.

Between advancing human technological progress and protecting the citizens of New York, Peter chose the latter. Who could say that was wrong? It was just a pity for Peter's brilliant mind.

Now, Peter had joined the Daily Bugle family as an intern reporter, starting his working life. Peter finally realized how difficult it was for Aunt May to work two jobs to support his education.

Chen Changsheng was happy to accept all these changes. Everyone had to grow, and geniuses like Peter needed to grow faster.

Didn't Uncle Ben's death spur Peter's growth?

With great power comes great responsibility.

Superheroes had their own pursuits; they could balance their lives and dreams. Chen Changsheng lacked this ability, so he could only fully immerse himself in life.

What should he do for the rest of the day? It was getting late, so he might as well go to Gwen's house for a meal.

Captain George returned home, dragging his tired body after a long day, and saw his harmonious family.

A virtuous wife, a beautiful daughter, and two cute and mischievous sons. George felt that his life was complete and very satisfied, and even much of his fatigue from the day disappeared. This was the warmth of home.

Huh? Wait, who was that man sitting in his rightful place? Damn it, it was Jack again. It was one thing for him and Gwen to exchange affectionate glances, but why was he sitting so close? And take your hands off her, you pervert!

George coughed heavily to signal his return, but awkwardly, no one looked at the door. His two sons, like Gwen, were clinging to Chen Changsheng, doing who knows what.

George felt like singing a song now, "I'm pretending to be blind when I should be cooperating with your act," but alas, no one was willing to listen.

Huffing, he walked to his beloved daughter's side, and the family suddenly seemed to notice George, all calling out "Dad" in unison.

As all eyes turned to George, he felt he was finally getting the attention he deserved. He cleared his throat, ready to give a speech, but at that moment, Helen's voice came from the kitchen.

"George is back? Then it's time to eat."

"Okay."

"Yay."

George's two sons ran to the dining room first. Gwen and Chen Changsheng followed closely, hand in hand. Only George, who was about to give a speech, was left standing awkwardly in front of the empty television...

Various dishes filled the table. No one started eating, partly waiting for George and partly listening to Chen Changsheng tell a story.

When George reached the table, he finally heard what Chen Changsheng was saying. It turned out Chen Changsheng was recounting his recent experiences with Gwen.

George felt his stomach churn again. The scene of the Lizard People's severed limbs being discarded and mixed into a bloody mess was still vivid in his mind.

"Are the Lizard People from the center of the Earth?" Two young boys were particularly interested in these kinds of things.

"Of course, they've lived underground for hundreds of millions of years and are now preparing to counterattack the surface." Chen Changsheng spouted nonsense without hesitation, and it sounded so plausible that it made the two boys gasp in amazement.

Listening to Chen Changsheng's nonsensical talk made George's teeth ache. As a police officer in the NYPD, he knew more than others, especially since Gwen was interning at Osborn Industries. George had even made inquiries about these matters.

George did know that Chen Changsheng had rescued Gwen beforehand, and on that matter, George was quite satisfied with Chen Changsheng. But the problem was, you couldn't just spout lies, could you?

Seeing his son ready to fight for humanity and repel the underground Lizard People, George decided to reveal a little information to show off his imposing presence.

"Well, cough, cough. Don't listen to Jack's nonsense. Those Lizard People were just infected by a gene potion from some bad guys, which is why they turned into Lizard People. In the end, they were just some innocent bystanders." George's voice grew lower and lower, finally sounding solemn and reverent, clearly aware of the final outcome for those innocent bystanders.

Because of George's low voice, the family gradually fell silent, unsure of how to continue the conversation.

George then thought about the recent reports at the NYPD of people complaining that their family members had been taken away by the military and then vanished. George was also somewhat disappointed.

Who would have thought that 350 people were missing, and only 200 were sent for treatment? Where did the other 150 people go?

With a little thought, George could guess that they were most likely taken away by certain individuals for research.

George had also visited Osborn Industries, but the information he received was that they had only taken in these Lizard People, injected them with an antidote, and sent them home.

Osborn Industries had various video materials and complete documentation, so George knew that what they said was true. But this was precisely what worried George: some unknown forces were involved in the Lizard People incident.

However, this was not something a small police officer like George could get involved in. Snapping back to reality, George noticed the whole family looking at him and felt a bit awkward. He seemed to have zoned out just now.

But what was up with Jack? Why was he winking and making faces?

Following Chen Changsheng's gaze, George finally noticed the situation in front of him. The table was a mess, and the plates in front of them were piled high with food. It seemed like all the food on the dining table was there.

Covering his embarrassment, George cleared his throat and asked, "Jack, what are your plans after school starts? I heard you and Gwen both applied to New York University."

Before starting university, Gwen had already found an internship at Osborn Industries to lay the groundwork for her future college life.

Seeing Chen Changsheng always looking so idle, George felt compelled to remind the young man. After all, as things stood, this kid seemed to be the most likely candidate to become his son-in-law.

Upon hearing George's words, Chen Changsheng became unusually serious.

Putting down his cutlery, Chen Changsheng glanced at Gwen and said, "I plan to focus on my studies first, improve my knowledge base, and lay a good foundation for the future. I won't be spending too much energy on other things."

"Mm, that's good. Young people should be down-to-earth. Finishing your studies and finding a good job is the right thing to do. By the way, aren't you looking for an internship somewhere? Like Gwen? You could earn some tuition money." George spoke from experience, offering advice to Chen Changsheng.

"Oh, it's fine. The Magic Forest has already opened up its sales channels, and orders are already booked until after the new year. I just need to keep things running as usual. I'll be able to earn enough money to complete my studies. Oh, right, George, I've opened a new company. Can Gwen help out there? I guarantee the best treatment." Chen Changsheng's reply was still serious and calm, and he casually mentioned his current situation.

Hmm... George secretly thought he had been careless. He had forgotten about this wild boar who was in the most profitable fruit business.

But what did opening a new company mean? Although he didn't know what kind of company Chen Changsheng had opened, George still agreed to let Gwen help Chen Changsheng.

They had already confirmed their relationship, and Gwen would have a share of all of Chen Changsheng's future assets. She should participate and help each other; that was the true meaning of living together.

In the end, George had already accepted Chen Changsheng as his future son-in-law. Although Chen Changsheng was sometimes not to his liking, George decided he had to indulge this wild boar for his precious daughter's future.

However, George didn't know that Chen Changsheng's so-called new company was the one that resolved the Lizard People incident. If he had known, George would have pointed at Chen Changsheng's nose and asked, "Where did you take those innocent bystanders!"

George was, after all, a police officer with a strong sense of justice.

The family chatted harmoniously, and Chen Changsheng gradually began to think about how to arrange things for Gwen. Assigning her any position would be fine, but it couldn't be too casual.

After much thought, Chen Changsheng thought of Pepper. She was the only all-around superwoman he had ever met. If Gwen could be like Pepper, she would definitely be a suitable and capable assistant.

With that in mind, Chen Changsheng decided to have Gwen intern at Stark Industries with Little Pepper for a while.

Given Chen Changsheng's relationship with Tony Stark and Pepper, this was a minor matter. He believed that even if Chen Changsheng wanted to arrange for a pig to work there, Tony would readily agree, and at most, he'd just turn a blind eye.

With Gwen's genius attributes, Chen Changsheng believed she would quickly grow into a capable professional manager who could handle things independently.

The only worry was whether Gwen's studies would suffer. If George found out his daughter's grades had dropped, would he come after him with his service weapon?

Glancing stealthily at George, who was smiling and playfully roughhousing with his son, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but shiver. Dads who doted on their daughters were truly terrifying.
