Cheating players in Marvel

Slightly larger than an egg, it is semi-transparent. Under the light of the culture tank, it glows with brown water. If you look closely, it seems to have a gelatinous texture...

After seeing this thing, a thought immediately came to Shi Xiaolei's mind - isn't this a preserved egg?

Think back again.

Although Stark is often out of tune, he has always been very serious when it comes to scientific research and experiments. With his character, he would not be willing to put a preserved egg in a culture tank for such a thing.

Just kidding yourself.

"Is this... an egg laid by venom?" While confirming, Shi Xiaolei turned back and looked at Eddie Brock who was walking this way.

After the previous rounds of testing, Venom has consumed a lot of energy. At this moment, he has retracted into Eddie Brock's body to rest.

"Yes." Eddie Brock scratched his head in embarrassment, with a somewhat speechless expression: "I was shocked at the time, thinking that this thing was born to me. Until I confirmed it with Venom again.

Only later did I realize that the egg was his work."

"Haha." Hearing Eddie Brock's words, he conjured up a picture, and Shi Xiaolei couldn't help laughing: "An egg was laid out of nowhere, you must have been panicked at the time. Did you feel that you had gradually drifted away?

After entering the category of human beings, doubts like ‘Can I still be considered a human being’ suddenly appeared? Hahahahaha.”

"No, that's the feeling." Eddie Brock also laughed.

After joking for a while, his attention turned back to the egg floating in the culture tank.

He looked too much like a peeled egg. Shi Xiaolei had to remind himself again and again, and then he managed to stay awake.

"How long does it take for this thing to hatch?" In order to divert attention, but also sincerely curious, Shi Xiaolei asked again.

"Who knows?" Stark shrugged and shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't think anyone can answer this question."

"Um?"

"I asked Venom." After taking up the conversation, Eddie Brock continued to answer: "He said this was his first time laying an egg and he had never experienced a similar situation before. So, he didn't know about this egg either.

How long does it take for the egg to hatch?"

"Then... what about the other symbionts that came to Earth with him? Didn't they lay eggs?" Shi Xiaolei asked again.

"No." Eddie Brock shook his head: "Even if there is, it may not be used as a reference."

"..." After pondering for a few seconds, Shi Xiaolei blinked in confusion: "You have made me confused. What does it mean may not be used as a reference? How many days does it take to incubate? Isn't it fixed?"

"Your question is on point." As if he didn't expect Shi Xiaolei to notice this, Stark raised his eyebrows in surprise and took over the topic with a smile: "After my research,

And the testimony given by Venom himself... Symbiotes are very good at 'hibernation'. Before meeting a suitable host, they will remain dormant like lifeless fossils."

"The universe is so big, it is not easy to meet a suitable host. In other words, during the drifting period, they often sleep for decades, or even hundreds of years."

"Whether it is an adult symbiote or a newly laid embryo, that is, this kind of egg, all have this ability. For symbiotes, it is the instinct of their species to resist the passage of time through long-term dormancy.

In addition, because the state during dormancy is similar to that of inorganic matter, it can well resist various energy radiation encountered during the drift of the universe, so..."

"Well, it seems to be a bit far. In short, when the egg hatches, the key depends on when it encounters a suitable host for parasitism. It is not like a chicken egg or a duck egg. After encountering a suitable environment, it will be fixed for how many days.

It will hatch.”

After listening to Stark's explanation, Shi Xiaolei finally understood the key points.

"Then you just told me that this is an incubation chamber?" Pointing to the cylindrical culture tank in front of him, Shi Xiaolei questioned: "According to what you said, I just need to find a host for it. There is no need to build this thing specially.

What?"

"I can't help it. Who told him it was a premature baby?" Stark shrugged and gave an answer that surprised Shi Xiaolei.

"Premature baby? What's going on?"

"To put it simply, when giving Venom a physical examination, he accidentally went too far. Then, in order to treat his injuries, he was given too many nutrients at once. And then, the nutrients he absorbed exceeded what he could digest.

The upper limit activated his reproductive instinct and gave birth to such an egg that should not have appeared in the first place."

Following Stark, Eddie Brock added: "Fundamentally speaking, this spawning is a special situation, and he did not do it on his own initiative."

"What's the difference?"

"Of course there is a difference." Stark said: "If he consciously wants to lay an egg, he will give birth to a sound enough egg. Well, in easy-to-understand terms, it means that the yolk and egg white are both complete.

seed. And the one you see now is the one he used to protect himself.

The by-product of taking emergency measures to prevent yourself from being overwhelmed by excess nutrients... Let's put it this way, there is nothing wrong with the 'egg yolk' as the core, but because it failed to continue to supply enough nutrients, the volume of the 'egg white' part was

A little smaller than normal.”

"...I see." Because Stark said it plainly enough, Shi Xiaolei quickly understood what he meant.

Looking at the eggs floating in the culture tank, Shi Xiaolei shook his head with regret: "In other words, it may not be hatched, nor can it parasitize humans like venom?"

"No, hatching is no problem." Eddie Brock replied: "I asked Venom, and he told me personally, and his tone was very firm."

"The point is that it lacks nutrients. After it parasitizes on the host, it will be like a running water pump, extracting nutrients from the host uncontrollably." Stark explained while turning to look at Shi Xiaolei: "If the host follows you

As talented as he is, there is nothing to worry about. At most, he will only be weak for a while. But if it were an ordinary person... Haha, Jarvis has already calculated it, there is a 96.35% possibility that the host will be killed by it.

His breath turned into a mummy."

"Hiss...is it so exaggerated?"

"That's why I built this thing." Patting the culture tank, Stark said with a smile: "Let it soak here for a while to replenish its nutrients. When it is fully developed, it will not drain the host.

Let an adult do it, and then think about choosing a host for it."

"You are still thoughtful." Shi Xiaolei nodded: "By the way, do you have any ideas about choosing a host?"
