The villa's living room.

Roy sat on the sofa, placed the box on the table, and opened it.

Just as Tony had said, there were only two doses in the box.

For convenience, Tony had also included a matching injector shaped like a handgun.

After thinking for a moment, Roy picked up the injector and loaded one of the doses into it.

Taking a deep breath, he aimed the injector at his left arm and pulled the trigger.

After injecting the Physical Enhancement Drug, he used the Chakra Sensory Technique to sense his own life force.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

As time passed, he felt his body receiving a certain degree of enhancement under the effects of the Physical Enhancement Drug.

If an ordinary person injected the Physical Enhancement Drug, their strength, speed, endurance, reflexes, regenerative ability, and more would all be significantly enhanced, making them a true superhuman.

However, for someone like him, whose physical attributes were already astonishing, the Physical Enhancement Drug's effects were greatly diminished.

Comparing his life force before the injection, he discovered that even Tony's optimized Physical Enhancement Drug had only enhanced him by 20%.

Although the enhancement was not particularly obvious, he did not take it to heart.

It was already good enough that it worked. What more could he ask for?

After placing the injector back into the box, Roy opened the status panel that only he could see and looked at his chakra amount.

[Chakra Amount: 18 cards]

Compared to before the injection, his chakra amount had risen from 15 cards to 18 cards, an increase of 3 cards.

Chakra amount was closely tied to life force.

His life force had increased by 20%, so his chakra amount had naturally increased by 20% as well.

That was perfectly reasonable!

After closing the status panel, Roy took out his phone and sent Gwen a message.

Although Tony had promised to develop the Spider Serum within three months, Roy did not mind having Gwen inject the Physical Enhancement Drug first and gain some ability to protect herself before receiving the Spider Serum.

Of course, that was only if Gwen was willing to take it.

After all, not everyone wanted to become a superhuman.

When he had provided Tony with three solutions for palladium poisoning, Roy had realized that Tony was not interested in the second option, becoming a superhuman.

Otherwise, Tony would definitely have injected himself with a dose as soon as he finished optimizing the Physical Enhancement Drug.

Not only did Tony have no intention of becoming a superhuman himself, he also did not want Pepper to become one.

In the movie "Iron Man 3," he cured Pepper after she had been enhanced by the Extremis Virus and let her return to being an ordinary person.

That evening.

After having dinner with Gwen, Roy did not immediately take her home. Instead, he brought her to the villa.

"What could be so important that you're being this mysterious?"

Gwen sat beside Roy and asked softly.

Roy took the box containing the Physical Enhancement Drug from the System Space and opened it.

Then he turned to Gwen and said slowly, "I had Stark develop an enhancement drug suitable for ordinary people."

"After injecting it, all your physical abilities will be significantly improved."

"It won't enhance you to Parker's level, but it can still turn you into a superhuman far beyond ordinary people."

"If you want to become a superhuman, I'll inject you with the enhancement drug right now."

Gwen looked at the Physical Enhancement Drug in the box, then asked Roy without any hesitation.

"Do you want me to become a superhuman?"

Roy nodded and responded, "Yes."

"Not many people know that I'm a superhuman right now, but my identity will be exposed sooner or later."

"I can't stay with you twenty-four hours a day, and I don't want you to have no means of protecting yourself when you encounter danger."

"Besides this enhancement drug, I also asked Stark to develop a Spider Serum that can give you the same abilities as Parker."

"But he's only completed the enhancement drug for now, so I want you to inject this first."

"Once he creates the Spider Serum, you'll inject that afterward."

After hearing him out, Gwen smiled without the slightest hesitation. "Inject me."

"My boyfriend is a superhuman, so of course I don't mind becoming one too."

"Once I have power, I won't just be able to protect myself. I'll be able to protect my family and friends as well."

"I can't think of any reason to refuse."

After saying that, Gwen raised her right hand and rolled up her sleeve, exposing her smooth, fair skin.

Roy said nothing more. He took out the enhancement drug and injector, aimed at Gwen's right forearm, and completed the injection.

Gwen stared at Roy with a blank expression.

She had expected a noticeable reaction after receiving the enhancement drug.

For example, intense pain.

The facts proved that she had overthought it.

Other than the pain of the injector needle piercing her skin, she felt no pain at all.

Likewise, she could not sense any enhancement from the drug.

Although she did not immediately feel that her physical abilities had been significantly enhanced, Roy, who had activated the Chakra Sensory Technique, could clearly sense that her life force had surged five or six times over in just a few seconds.

"That's it? I don't feel any changes."

Gwen said with a frown.

Roy did not answer. He wrapped an arm around her slender waist and used the Flying Thunder God.

In an instant, they teleported from the villa's living room to the gym.

"You're already a superhuman now."

As Roy spoke, he prepared a 500-kilogram barbell for Gwen.

"All right, lift this barbell with one hand."

Roy pointed at the barbell and said to Gwen.

"Are you sure I can do that?"

Gwen asked with a frown.

"Of course you can!"

Roy responded.

If this had been the old Gwen, let alone a 500-kilogram barbell, she would not have been able to lift even a 100-kilogram one.

But now, she could do it easily.

In the comics, Norman could lift nine tons after becoming the Green Goblin.

Although this was not the comic universe, and the drug Gwen had injected was different from Norman's, it was still a drug optimized by Tony.

Gwen walked up to the barbell, took a deep breath, and gripped it with her right hand.

The next second, an incredulous expression appeared on her face.

Without using much strength, she effortlessly lifted the 500-kilogram barbell.

A few seconds later, the disbelief vanished.

In its place was joy she could not suppress.

So this was what it felt like to become a superhuman?

I like this feeling!

Gwen set down the barbell, turned around, returned to Roy, threw her arms around him, and excitedly kissed him.

"Your strength is far beyond that of an ordinary person now, so you need to be more careful in everyday life."

"If you don't control it, even a simple hug could kill someone."

Roy said to Gwen.

"I'm sorry!"

"I didn't mean to!"

Gwen immediately released Roy and looked at him with an apologetic expression.

"I'm fine."

"My strength and physique aren't weaker than yours. This level of force isn't enough to hurt me."

Roy stroked Gwen's cheek and said slowly.
