Beauty Man's Myriad Hearts

the next day.

After David got up, he went out to the newsstand, intending to look for newspapers from a few weeks ago.

He is now a student at Empire State University.

Empire State University is a prestigious private Ivy League school located in upper Manhattan with many famous students.

If David were asked to list them one by one, he would probably name the following: White Queen Emma Frost, Spider-Man Peter Parker, Human Torch Johnny Storm, etc.

However, in the current Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men are probably still fighting in other multiverses, and have not had time to break through the barriers between universes and join the family of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so the White Queen and Thunderbolt Huo cannot be regarded as a member of this school.

At the same time, in this universe, Peter Parker, the only Spider-Man qualified to be on the list, was even just born, and he had to wait more than ten years before he could enter school.

Therefore, the above personnel belong to Schrödinger's cat.

David flipped through the newsstand for a few minutes, and finally found what he was looking for in an outdated New York Times three weeks ago.

He handed the newsstand owner a dollar.

"Hey, two dollars for a newspaper."

The boss is dissatisfied.

"You're wrong. A current newspaper costs two dollars, and an outdated newspaper. If I don't want it, no one will want it."

David didn't put down the banknotes in his hand, and took away the newspaper with a smile.

"Well, it's cheap for you boy, I could have returned it to the newspaper."

The boss muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, took the money, and did not refuse the sale.

David left the newsstand and boarded a bus to his school in upper Manhattan.

In the car, he unfolded the newspaper.

[Empire State Building shooting, no survivors at the scene. 】

[Experts judged that one of the deceased was shot in the head by a super-long-range sniper, which was too inconceivable to be traced back. 】

A line of black and bold headlines, coupled with cold text descriptions, is in stark contrast to the scene of the victims lying in a pool of blood and their brains bursting.

Scanning the contents of the newspaper at a glance, David deeply felt the ruthlessness of the capitalist society.

Everything can be entertained.

Everything is talk.

After confirming that the system's memory was accurate, David folded the newspaper, waited for a moment, watched the cityscape passing by outside the window, and prepared to get off the car.

It's very close from Hell's Kitchen to Uptown, not to mention a step away, but it's really not a few more steps.

The bus dangled for about half an hour before stopping at the gate of the deserted school.

It is now December, around Christmas, and the long holiday will last until early January next year.

At this time, there was almost no one in the school except for the daily work of relevant personnel.

David came here because of his part-time job at the school, but also because of a person.

Richard Parker.

The name is not simple, it is Spider-Man Peter Parker's father.

Richard is not a big or small celebrity in the Marvel world.

Spider-Man's origin stories are quite diverse, the most widely recognized being probably the story of the previous life "The Amazing Spider-Man".

Of course, in the later movies, the setting that Peter Parker got the spider ability after being bitten by a spider was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Yes, no one pursued the cause and effect at all... So, in the latest series of movies, the screenwriter simply blurred the background story of Spider-Man, and no longer explained it.

In this way, Richard Parker, as Spider-Man's biological father, is rarely mentioned.

In the eyes of Spider-Man fans, Richard Parker's greatest contribution to the Marvel world is probably the sperm he provided on a whim one night.

For David today, he is no stranger to Richard Parker.

Richard Parker was his university teacher, took good care of him, and invited him to be his assistant, having certain privileges in the school.

Moreover, as an authority in the life sciences, Richard Parker is as famous as another authority in the school, Curt Connors.

As researchers in life sciences, Richard and Connors have a very good relationship and have been friends for many years. Recently, they even jointly researched a similar topic-related to life evolution and genetic modification.

Talking of the century and genetic modification, not ahead of time.

The concept of genetic engineering originated in the 70s.

The development of more than 20 years is not a long time in the scientific community.

In a nutshell, limited by various factors, few people are optimistic about the research of Richard and Connors, and the research work is difficult.

Although both are professors at Imperial State University and are regarded as authorities in related fields, very few people, or even no one at all, signed up, and even fewer people participated in their research and were willing to help them.

More commercial and promising research projects abound at Imperial State University, a place where talent gathers, and these people have invested in other research projects...

Richard and Connors liked it, but others didn't like them, and they didn't like it, and they weren't strong enough to be selected.

This made David take advantage of it.

Before David crossed over, the original owner had become Richard's assistant.

And strictly speaking, he is the common assistant of Richard and Connors, helping them record the research data and handle some chores.

This is also the biggest reason why he has to go to and from school during the holidays.

Many people think that the stupid David joined Richard and Connors' life science project, which seems to be bright but has no bright future.

But at this moment, David understands better than anyone else that both Richard and Connors are indispensable characters in the Marvel world to promote the development of the main storyline—to translate, they are top talents who can change the world.

Among them, what David valued the most was not Dr. Lizard Curt Connors, the famous Spider-Man enemy in the future, but Richard Parker.

Although Richard's reputation is not as famous as Connors' Dr. Lizard, whether in the Marvel world or in his previous life, Richard's importance, and even his intelligence, is actually much higher than Connors'—this is the same as that of Connors. It is related to the setting of Marvel itself.

The reason is that Richard developed the "decay rate algorithm" several years before Connors, and as early as Spider-Man was young.

This formula can transplant certain characteristics of animals to humans without side effects, which is the direction that Connors has pursued all his life.

However, even though Connors successfully researched the "lizard potion" a few years later, he still miscalculated a certain key data in the formula, and was affected by the serious side effects of the potion, distorting his rationality as a human being , became a famous villain.

And, Richard's success doesn't stop there.

With his own research, after his death, Richard created a legend in the Marvel world by chance and coincidence. He has dominated the list of Marvel all the year round, and the superhero character that ranks first in popularity and popularity—yours Good Neighbor, Spider-Man.

This is one of the origins of Spider-Man, and one of the most widely accepted.

……

laboratory.

"David, thank God you're finally here."

Richard had a very headache, and he said in a rambling manner: "Several spiders died in the batch yesterday. I need some new research samples. Maybe we should change to a different species. What do you think of the genus Orbidae?"

"The famous Black Widow, the most notorious poisonous spider in the world..."

David reacted quickly: "I think this suggestion is very good. If you accidentally get hit at any time, you will go into shock in about 10 minutes, and you can declare death in 30 minutes... Should I prepare a eulogy now, so as not to improvise when the time comes not good?"

"It seems you like it very much."

Richard ordered: "Then you can get in touch, go to the old place and get me some black widows."

"Professor Parker, although I really don't want to say this, but our research funding has bottomed out." David said, "Any material purchase now will only make the research laboratory that is not rich worse."

"I contacted several companies before, didn't they reply to the email?" Richard frowned.

"Unfortunately."

David spread his hands: "Not one family."

"..."

Richard was silent for a moment: "I will find a way."

"Professor Parker, I can get funding." David said, "However, it will take some time."

"time?"

Richard froze for a moment, then shook his head: "What we need most now is time."

David knew that Richard didn't take his words to heart, so he didn't explain much. He looked around and asked curiously, "Where did Professor Connors go? I thought he would be as sad as you today, worrying about funding." question."

"You know, he was a military doctor."

Richard said: "He has a few comrades in arms in Osborne, and he wants to connect with Osborne through them. If our laboratory can bear the name of Osborne, it will definitely usher in a new turning point. .”

"I see."

David frowned slightly.

As a foresight traveler, it is a good way to invest in Richard and Connors and hold the final research results of the two in your own hands.

However, combined with the original plot of Marvel, Connors should finally get his wish and join Osborne.

David felt a sense of urgency in his heart, but he was not very nervous.

Things are still turning around.

He valued Curt Connors no more than Richard Parker.

Although Dr. Lizard is well-known, he has been a loser after struggling for more than ten years.

Richard Parker, the father of Spider-Man, was the one who really pioneered it.

As long as he can have a good relationship with Richard Parker, he will have the opportunity to get involved in the research results in the end.

From the analysis of the original plot, even though Richard and Connors are partners and their research directions are roughly the same, they are different in terms of life pursuits.

So even in Spider-Man's origin story, Richard broke up with Connors.

This also makes the "decay rate algorithm" a permanent mystery in the Marvel world - no one can create a second Spider-Man.

Half a day passed.

David looked at the sky, estimated the time, and said hello: "Professor Parker, I should go."

"Okay, you go first, Mary will come and help me." Richard nodded.

Mary's full name, Mary Parker, is Richard's wife and the biological mother of the future Spider-Man.

"Say hello to her for me."

"of course."

David left the research room, walked out of the campus, stopped a taxi at the intersection, and headed for Brooklyn.

He has an appointment.
