Super Hearing Earphone

Shen Fei arrived at Matt's laboratory.

Although Matt had now been injected with the Phoenix Potion, the formula still had flaws, so Shen Fei needed to be more careful when using the knife.

"Here?"

Matt already knew what his fate was. Though he did not know why Shen Fei was studying him, it was obvious that Shen Fei would never let him go before thoroughly figuring him out.

He would not be released.

Shen Fei put on a lab coat and said with a smile, "How does it feel to see the light again?"

The Phoenix Potion's restorative effects were quite powerful. His blindness, caused by direct exposure to chemical agents, had now been cured.

"Not bad."

"Good. Consider it a little compensation."

Shen Fei pressed a button, and his assistants quickly took their positions.

"Today, I intend to dissect every part of you, including those newly grown eyes. If you cooperate obediently, perhaps you won't have to suffer like this again later."

Shen Fei put on gloves. Daredevil's abilities differed in origin from Wolverine's. His powers likely came from his own unique physical structure.

They did not come from special materials like a Self-Healing Factor, so Gene Infection was impossible. As for Super Hearing, Shen Fei already knew what he could use as a substitute first.

He was the Lord of Scientific Research, not the Lord of Bioengineering.

If he could not find a usable chemical substance through experimentation,

he planned to use micro-machinery as a temporary replacement and implant artificially designed extraordinary hearing.

As for extraordinary smell and touch, he would likely need to find suitable chemical substances.

As Shen Fei's knife rose and fell, organs were removed piece by piece and placed beneath microscopes for observation. He examined Matt's sensory cells, taste cells, and olfactory cells, all completely different from those of ordinary people.

"Complicated. How did these cells' proliferation and structure become so exquisite..."

Shen Fei stared at the cell slices and muttered to Daredevil.

He had not expected the changes in Matt to be far greater than he had imagined. The cells expressed by Matt's genes were vastly, vastly different from those of normal humans. Every sensory organ differed greatly, including his eyeballs.

Moreover, the folds in the region of Matt's brain responsible for processing the senses were extraordinarily numerous. This meant the nerves he used to process external information were not only thick, but plentiful.

This should all have been caused by those chemicals.

Those chemicals were definitely not ordinary, but such targeted mutations...

were impossible.

Matt himself had simply been extremely fortunate, someone who had developed a beneficial targeted mutation.

But Shen Fei did not want randomness. He needed a definite answer, so he had to find those chemicals, understand their proportions, and determine what had guided Matt's mutation in the first place.

Then he could adjust the ingredients and conduct repeated experiments.

Even if flaws remained in the end, it would not matter. After all, he had cheats.

"What a lucky fellow."

Shen Fei did not know how much time had passed. In any case, batch after batch of assistants had been replaced. "The structure is more or less understood. If there is still no news about the chemicals,

we can first try artificially replicating Super Hearing with machinery."

Shen Fei rubbed his brow and took off his lab coat. He had now fully analyzed the source of Matt's abilities. If he could obtain the formula for those chemicals as well,

he was confident he could replicate them very soon. But Klaw was still investigating, so he could first make an external earphone.

One that could rival Matt's current hearing. In truth, the chemicals' greatest change to Matt should have been to his sensory-processing nerves.

Otherwise, even if you received all that information,

merely replicating extraordinary hearing would be useless. An ordinary person would only become dizzy and disoriented.

Superman possessed extraordinary senses because he also had an extraordinary brain to process them.

"Still, I'm not too worried..."

Shen Fei's ability to process information was stronger even than Daredevil's. If he had found a way to dissect himself, he would have wanted to dissect himself too.

"Help me get some materials..."

Shen Fei called Klaw. Their phones now both used dedicated encrypted lines.

The satellites were privately sold for exclusive use. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. was everywhere in the United States, that did not mean it could act without restraint. The United States was a country built on capital.

There were still places where S.H.I.E.L.D. had to tread carefully.

"Alright. There has been progress with Osborn. We now hold 34% of the shares.

Because we moved quickly, we are currently the largest shareholder. Buying up the remaining shares would require too much money.

Using it would affect our other plans," Klaw said.

"Keep buying. Money is not an issue. Osborn Company's research is the starting point of our plans.

Be careful lately. S.H.I.E.L.D. and Norman will not let this go.

Also, have someone tell me where Connors is currently living."

"Mm, don't worry."

After Shen Fei hung up, Klaw was still running around outside. Apart from managing the business, he was also searching for some of Spider-Man's villains—Doctor Octopus, Rhino, Sandman, and so on.

These people were relatively easy to use, and in Shen Fei's eyes, they were also good experimental assistants and materials.

Before long, Shen Fei received an address from Klaw.

Two days later, Shen Fei had spent those two days designing his "Super Hearing Earphone."

It would temporarily provide the Super Hearing he needed before the chemicals were found.

"Micro-sensors... use components to replace the mastoid... use sound encoding to enhance reception of sound sources."

"For the eardrum, Matt's eardrum can be used directly.

The overlapping structure of the malleus, incus, stapes, and tympanic cavity can be replaced with a Vibranium alloy, increasing sound reproduction."

Matt watched Shen Fei muttering to himself. Since Shen Fei intended to use Matt's eardrum directly, Matt had been moved into this laboratory.

He discovered that after cutting into his ears a few times, Shen Fei had begun tinkering with something.

Very soon, two thumb-sized objects appeared in Shen Fei's hand, each resembling a small sphere.

Shen Fei stuffed them into his ears. A sudden stabbing pain shot through them as the earphones began connecting to his nerves, replacing the function of his original inner ears.

The next moment, Shen Fei realized that countless faint rustling sounds had suddenly filled his ears.

It was like countless people speaking continuously beside him. Shen Fei closed his eyes and frowned, then opened them again after a moment.

"I still need to find those chemicals..."

Shen Fei's hearing had now reached Daredevil's current level, but whether it was training himself to categorize the sounds or selectively receive signals,

he had to adapt to all of it. If he had the chemicals, then with Shen Fei's own talent,

his adaptation speed would definitely be much faster than with external equipment.

That was why Shen Fei wanted to focus on bioengineering rather than take the path of mechanical ascension—unless he covered his nerves with a layer of mechanical devices as well.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any nanotechnology on hand. Otherwise, I could really give it a try..."
