Professor Connors and Peter looked at a tube of genetic medicine made by Peter.
Connors said: "Peter, are you sure this medicine works? I don't want to turn from a lizard man into a worse animal. Have you done any biological experiments?"
He had some doubts about whether this tube of green fluorescent medicine could really cure him.
Peter Parker said unconvinced: "Of course, I will not make fake medicine. I have tested it on mice and the effect is good."
Connors gasped: "But this..."
Peter snatched the potion from his hand: "Since you question my level, then give up. You can live in this sewer forever."
Connor immediately snatched the potion back in a panic, fearing that Peter would really not give it to him.
But from his perspective, it's really hard to believe that Peter Parker can do something that he can't do either. As a student, he had potential but needed to improve.
Having said that, this potion is indeed the work that Peter Parker put all his efforts into. It was used in Connors' laboratory at the State University of New York. Since Connors stayed in the sewer, there was no one else there. Peter was finishing his introduction to economics. I often go there after class to drink coffee and research how to cure Connors.
He also went to Mr. Reed of the Fantastic Four to discuss the feasibility of the plan.
Reed Richards is a genius scientist, but if you ask him or Tony Stark who is smarter, let them fight each other.
As for why Peter chose Reed instead of Tony Stark, the main reason was that he had rejected Stark's job invitation and Reed was more modest.
Let's put it this way, go to Stark for drinking. He is a playboy and a high-end gamer. He can always be the one who attracts the most attention at parties. He can also use the power of drinking to talk about some breaking news in the entertainment industry.
When it comes to scientific research, it’s more pleasant to collaborate with Reed.
Connors held the potion carefully to avoid damaging the precious potion with his clumsy lizard claws.
"How am I supposed to use it, is there no instruction manual?" Connors asked.
Peter pointed to a button on the potion: "Press here and inject like an injection."
Connors looked at his lizard palm, and then at Peter Parker. His lizard fingers couldn't complete the button pressing operation because the claws on them would get stuck.
Peter instantly understood what Connors meant, took the medicine and completed the injection step for him.
As the liquid in the tube was completely injected into Professor Connors' body, his body gradually changed.
First, the scales gradually peeled off, and the sound of fine scales falling to the ground was like the sound of fine sand flowing.
Then came the molting, and Connors' lizard skin cracked. He opened it with a little force, and the skin tissue was torn, revealing the new human skin inside.
Finally, there are changes to the facial features and limbs. This process is relatively long because it involves the degeneration and proliferation of bones.
After a long time, Connors still had the head structure of a lizard, which made him look very scary, like those animals mutated by radiation in horror movies.
"Well, at least it works." Connors sighed, looking in the mirror.
Peter operated the camera and said, "Yes, the first experiment was a complete success. From now on, I just need to record the changes in you every hour."
Only then did Connors react and said nervously: "Wait, did you just record it?"
Peter said without hesitation: "Of course, such a precious experimental process needs to be recorded. It has great academic value and reference significance."
In his opinion, this was a matter of course. The genetic medicine he was researching was used on humans for the first time, so he had to record the experimental process and data.
But Connors didn't want his ugly behavior to be recorded. He said angrily: "How can you record it at will without the experimenter's knowledge?"
Peter spread his hands and said, "This is for science, Professor Connors, don't forget that you are also a scientist. We all must have the spirit of dedicating ourselves to science."
"But this..." Connors still wanted to object, but he was indeed a scientist and had such a spirit before.
He found that Peter was now particularly good at manipulating other people's psychological weaknesses, and was always able to do extraordinary things that were irrefutable.
Seeing that Connors was still dissatisfied, Peter added: "This is internal information and is guaranteed not to be leaked. It is only used as a reference for possible future experiments."
This made Connors willing to cooperate seriously.
"Oh, I just smell a disgusting smell coming from the sewers."
"That's a good thing, lizards don't have a very sensitive sense of smell, and you're gradually turning back into a human," Peter said.
Connors did notice the changes in himself. It should be said that his feelings were the most direct. Now he can't wait to see the sun in New York again.
In this way, the two spent another six hours in the sewer before Connors completely returned to his human appearance. During this period, I heard Connors talk about many things when Peter Parker was a student, which enriched Peter's understanding of Peter Parker in the past.
Although he had read Spider-Man comics countless times and could even recite the most classic origin story backwards and forwards, listening to Professor Connors tell it was different.
About Peter Parker, what we know in the comics is only part of him. He is a lonely nerd, a student who was bullied by the school bully. He likes Mary Jane, and he is too shy to express his feelings.
In Connors' eyes, Peter Parker is a gifted student, a kind child, and a unique being.
Peter Parker is also different in the eyes of different people.
We don't know everything about Peter Parker from the comics.
Perhaps in the eyes of the boy who was saved by Peter from being bullied by the school bully, Peter was brave and fearless.
Connors, who was completely cured, had a lot of emotions. He was happy that he had completely transformed back into a human being, but he also felt guilty that he had given up on himself.
He looked into Peter's eyes and said truly and sincerely: "Thank you, your medicine really cured me."
Peter responded calmly: "Of course, I am also a genius."
Connors nodded: "I have never doubted this."
