#421 - Bit it!
The next day, early morning.
Liang Yue, who had been reading magic books all night at the New York Sanctum, glanced at the digital clock in the lower right corner of his retina and realized it was almost time to gather.
So, after saying hello to the dozing Sherlock next to him, he cast an attention-shifting spell on himself, drew a circle in front of him, and stepped into the block where the Osborn Group was located.
Since it was still early, Liang Yue even had the leisure to buy a large Mexican burrito from a roadside food stall as he approached the meeting point.
He ate as he walked towards the opposite side of the Osborn Group.
Sam and Peter were already waiting there, along with Ned, the Asian fatty from Peter's club, and Sam's neurotic roommate, Leo.
Besides them, there were also a few boys and girls from the class.
However, Liang Yue wasn't very familiar with them, belonging to the kind of nodding acquaintance where he couldn't even bother to remember their names… …
As for Liang Yue's deskmate, the cute and shy island girl Yamamoto Naiko, she had already returned to her country during the spring break to reunite with her family, so she would probably miss this extracurricular activity.
"Hi~ Liang Yue, over here!"
Turning his head, Peter and Sam quickly waved him over after seeing someone's unhurried figure approaching.
"Good morning, did you have breakfast? I bought a lot of popcorn chicken from over there."
As he spoke, Liang Yue handed over the paper box in his hand.
Several people nearby politely reached out, and in a few moments, they had wiped it clean.
Speaking of which, because the ice and fire novel written by Liang Yue before was completed and published, and it topped the North American bestseller list.
Despite Liang Yue himself not getting along very well with the students in the international class, others seemed particularly attentive to him after he became a successful person in the eyes of others.
At the very least, they brought a touch of goodwill to his daily extracurricular life.
After passing the security check, before they had walked a few steps, Gwen, dressed in OL attire and wearing black-rimmed glasses on her nose, appeared in front of everyone.
After a brief chat, she led them towards the group's internal exhibition area.
During the process, the classmates behaved like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, with faces full of novelty, constantly looking around and paying attention to the researchers in white coats coming and going.
When a shapely lady passed by from the corridor next to them, Sam's roommate Leo even picked up the camera hanging around his neck and secretly snapped a few close-up shots… …
Soon, the group arrived at a large room decorated a bit like a library.
Gwen then acted as a commentator, slowly walking forward while occasionally turning around to introduce the nearby exhibits to everyone.
"This is a high-precision electron microscope, the most advanced in the entire eastern region."
"… … There are probably more than 32,000 kinds of spiders collected here. This one in front of you is the Australian Delena spider. Someone once wrote a book specifically about its story~"
"This is a black widow, a very dangerous spider with venom. If you are accidentally bitten by it~"
"This side~"
… …
Compared to Liang Yue's refreshing and unburdened appearance, the other classmates traveling with him were mostly fully armed, with at least a camera or high-definition mobile phone on them.
Following Gwen's explanation, they began to take pictures of things they were interested in as souvenirs.
Among them, Peter was the most active. Whenever Gwen introduced a new species, he would rush forward to take pictures. In addition to the spider as the protagonist, the capable and charming Gwen would also be left in his photos.
Liang Yue also saw this in the back and secretly found it a little funny.
"It seems that I have to pay more attention to these two in the future. As a classmate, at the very least~ I can't let them end up in a situation where they are separated by heaven and man like in the original plot."
Thinking this in his heart, Liang Yue suddenly had another thought in his mind.
"Speaking of which, in this Marvel multiverse, didn't Gwen in some worlds also become Spider-Man?"
… …
"Report, Master!"
"What's the matter?"
"Xiao Wu has discovered some biotechnology data in the Osborn Group in front of us, which will be helpful to our research. Do you want to append it?"
"Huh? Didn't you say before that you can only act within the scope permitted by law?"
"Reporting to the master, the biological science research experiments inside the Osborn Group are illegal operations and are not within the scope of legal protection!"
"You can still play like this… … Okay, then you decide for yourself, copy down anything that is helpful."
After a brief exchange with the intelligent brain, Liang Yue returned to the team again.
Regarding Gwen's passionate explanation not far away, he could actually see that the other party had put in a lot of effort for this, including today's makeup. Unfortunately, Liang Yue was not interested in these things.
From the gaze that the woman cast at him every time she introduced something, Liang Yue naturally saw something beyond classmate affection, but unfortunately, he was also not interested in the other party.
The reason why Liang Yue came here today was only to witness it.
Of course, it would be even better if he could trigger some tasks along the way… …
… …
"It's coming~"
After a while, when the spider-related part of this visit was about to come to an end.
Liang Yue clearly observed through his spherical vision that a brightly colored spider had climbed up to the roof along the column at some point.
Now it is spitting silk all the way, hanging down.
And located directly below this spider is precisely Peter, who is currently holding a camera and taking pictures of Gwen.
"… … Using synthetic ribonucleic acid to create a brand new genome, and mixing it with the genes of three kinds of spiders, put it into the bodies of these fifteen spiders.
Yes, that's right, the fifteen spiders in front of you are new species born through genetic editing technology, which are very rare and dangerous!"
"But there are only fourteen in these glass tanks, Gwen."
As a tech geek, the Chinese little fat Ned at this time played his excellent observation ability very well, pointing out Gwen's mistake to the glass tank in front of him.
"What?" Gwen frowned upon hearing this and leaned closer.
"There should be one missing," Sam interjected from the side.
"Oh~ I guess the researchers are using it for experiments," Gwen said somewhat uncertainly.
At this moment, the spider originally suspended on the spider silk seemed to have sensed some delicious food, and suddenly jumped down towards the Dutch brother below.
It happened to land on his hand that was pressing the shutter, and then took a hard bite.
During the process, Liang Yue clearly felt the abnormality of this spider through his keen vision.
Whether it is fate or fate, in short, it bit… …
