Beauty Man's Myriad Hearts

the next day.

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

He is currently a student at Empire State University.

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

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

However, 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 main Marvel Cinematic Universe family. Therefore, the White Queen and Thunderbolt

Huo cannot be considered a member of this school.

At the same time, the only Spider-Man in this universe who is eligible to be on the list, Peter Parker, was just born and would have to wait more than ten years before he could enroll.

Therefore, the above people are all Schrödinger’s cats.

David flipped through the newsstand for a few minutes, and finally found what he wanted in an expired 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 expired newspaper costs $2. If I don't want it, no one will."

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

"Well, I gave you an advantage, I could have returned it to the newspaper."

The boss muttered something dissatisfied, took the banknote, and did not refuse the deal.

David left the newsstand, got on the bus, and headed to his school in upper Manhattan.

In the car, he unfolded the newspaper.

[Empire Building shooting, no survivors at the scene.]

[Experts determined that one of the deceased was shot in the head by a sniper shot from a very long distance, which is too incredible to be traced back.]

A line of black and bold titles, coupled with cold text descriptions, are in sharp contrast to the scene of the victim lying in a pool of blood, with brains bursting out.

Scanning the contents of the newspaper at a glance, David deeply realized the ruthlessness of capital society.

Everything can be entertained.

Everything is talk.

After confirming that the system memory was accurate, David closed 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. It's not just a step away, but it's really not much more than a few steps.

The bus wandered around for about half an hour before stopping at the gate of the crowded school.

It's December now, 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 relevant personnel going about their daily work.

The reason why David came here was because of his part-time job at school, and even more because of one person.

Richard Parker.

This name is not simple, it is the father of Spider-Man Peter Parker.

Richard is considered a moderate celebrity in the Marvel world.

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

Of course, in later movies, the setting that Peter Parker gained spider powers after being bitten by a spider was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if Peter Parker gained spider superpowers as soon as he appeared on the scene, no one would be surprised how his powers came about.

Yes, no one investigated the cause and effect at all... So, in the latest series of movies, the screenwriter simply blurred Spider-Man's background story without any unnecessary explanation.

As a result, Richard Parker, 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 and took great care of him. He also invited him to be his assistant and had certain privileges in the school.

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

Both life science researchers, Richard and Connors have a very good relationship and have been friends for many years. They have even recently been studying a similar topic together - about the evolution of life and genetic modification.

Talking about genetic modification at the turn of the century was not that far ahead.

The concept of genetic engineering was proposed approximately in the 1970s of this century.

More than twenty years of development is not considered a long time in the scientific world.

To sum up, due to various factors, few people are optimistic about Richard and Connors' research, and the research work is difficult.

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

At Empire State University, where talents gather, more commercial and promising research projects abound, and these people have invested in other research projects...

What Richard and Connors like, others don't like, and what they don't like is not strong enough to be selected.

This gave David an advantage.

Before David traveled through time, the original owner had become Richard's assistant.

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

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

Many people believe that the stupid David joined Richard and Connors' life science project, which seemed bright but actually had a bleak future.

But at this time, David understood better than anyone else that both Richard and Connors were indispensable characters in the Marvel world that promoted the development of the main storyline - to translate, these are top talents who can change the world.

Among them, the one David values ​​most is not the famous Spider-Man enemy in the future, Dr. Lizard Curt Connors, but Richard Parker.

Although Richard is not as well-known as Connors as Dr. Lizard, whether in the Marvel world or in his previous life, Richard's importance and even intelligence are actually much higher than Connors - this is different from Connors.

It’s related to Marvel’s own setting.

The reason is that Richard was several years ahead of Connors and developed the "decay rate algorithm" when Spider-Man was young.

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

However, even if Connors successfully developed the "Lizard Potion" a few years later, he still miscalculated a key data in the formula, was affected by the serious side effects of the potion, and distorted his human reason.

, and became a famous villain.

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

Relying on his own research, after Richard's death, by chance, he created a legend in the Marvel world, a superhero character that has always dominated Marvel's list and ranked first in popularity and popularity - your

Good neighbor, Spider-Man.

This is one of the origins of Spider-Man and one of the most widely recognized theories.

…

laboratory.

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

Richard had a headache and babbled: "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 Kou in the family Orbidae?"

"The famous black widow, the most notorious poisonous spider in the world..."

David responded quickly: "I think this suggestion is very good. If you accidentally get infected, you will go into shock in about 10 minutes and die in 30 minutes... Should I prepare a eulogy now to avoid improvising on the spot?

not good?"

"It seems you like it very much."

Richard ordered: "Then it's up to you to contact me and go to the old place to get me some black widows."

"Professor Parker, although I hate to say this, our research funding has bottomed out." David said, "Any purchase of materials now will make the already-poor research laboratory even worse."

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

"Unfortunately."

David spread his hands: "Not even one."

"..."

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

"Professor Parker, I can get the funds." David said, "But it will take some time."

"time?"

Richard was stunned and shook his head: "The most important thing we lack 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 is Professor Connors? I thought he would be as sad as you today, worrying about funding.

question."

"You know, he is a military doctor."

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

.”

"I see."

David frowned slightly.

As a prophetic time traveler, it is a good way to invest in Richard and Connors and take their final research results into your own hands.

However, based on the original plot of Marvel, Connors should finally get his wish and join the Osborn Company.

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

Things are still looking up.

He values ​​Curt Connors no more than Richard Parker.

Although Dr. Lizard is famous, he has struggled for more than ten years and is ultimately a loser.

Richard Parker, the father of Spider-Man, is the one who truly pioneered success.

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

From the analysis of the original plot, even if Richard and Connors are partners and have roughly the same research direction, they ultimately have different pursuits in life.

So at the end of Spider-Man's origin story, Richard and Connors broke up. Richard took away his equation, the couple died in a plane accident, and Connors worked conscientiously at Osborn Company for more than ten years.

, until he was completely given up by Osborne Company, so he took the plunge and injected himself with lizard medicine and became Dr. Lizard.

As a result, the "decay rate algorithm" has become 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, it's time for me to leave."

"Okay, you go first, Mary will come over to 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."

"certainly."

David left the laboratory, walked out of the campus, hailed a taxi at the intersection, and headed to Brooklyn.

He has an appointment with someone.
