New York Empire University.
Yang Tao and Harry sat in a black luxury car. Harry looked at the school building outside the car window and said, "Ever since you mentioned it last time, I found information on Dr. Octavius. He's currently researching energy-related topics."
"To be honest, if it weren't for you, I would have definitely funded his experiment. He's a genius."
Yang Tao smiled, opened the car door, and said, "And then his experiment fails, and your Oscorp Industries loses everything?"
"Harry, I know you want to achieve something, but you're too impatient."
Otto Gunther Octavius was indeed a genius, but his experiment did fail in the movie.
Seeing Yang Tao get out of the car, Harry immediately followed, and the two walked into the university together: "You mean Dr. Otto's experiment will fail?"
"You said it's an experiment. What's so strange about it failing?"
As they walked through the university gate, they were not stopped. Harry had already made arrangements with the school in advance.
As Yang Tao spoke, he suddenly thought of Peter Parker and asked curiously, "What is Peter doing now?"
"Uh, he occasionally takes photos of Spider-Man for the newspaper."
Hearing Harry say that, Yang Tao asked somewhat curiously, "Do you think that counts as selling his own body?"
Harry: "..."
"Harry, please tell him for me. I want to hire him to work for me. It's nothing messy, but to assist Dr. Otto with his experiments. The salary will be half of Dr. Otto's. I think this is already a considerable income for him."
Yang Tao's idea of hiring Peter for the experiment made Harry somewhat incredulous.
"Peter? He just graduated from high school this year. You want him to participate in Professor Otto's nuclear energy experiment now?"
You must be kidding me?
"Peter is much smarter than you think. The spider gene not only strengthens his body but also his mind."
Yang Tao said with great confidence, "As long as he has a good mentor and enough motivation, I don't think it will take him too long to achieve results that will make you look at him with new eyes."
At this point, Yang Tao stopped and looked at Harry seriously, saying, "Given enough time, he can even solve your genetic disease."
Harry looked at Yang Tao's serious expression, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "If I research the spider gene now, can I become as strong as Peter?"
"I don't know..."
Yang Tao smiled and continued walking into the school. As they approached the school's laboratory building, a man of about forty, carrying a stack of books, walked out of the laboratory building.
He was wearing a brown suit, but what was most striking was that he only had one arm.
A name popped into Yang Tao's mind when he saw the man.
Curt Connors.
Lizard, the other major villain in the Spider-Man world.
He should be a university biology professor now. Since losing his right arm in the war, he has been dedicated to researching limb regeneration technology.
Later, inspired by the Lizard's ability to regrow its tail, he developed a drug containing Lizard DNA serum and injected it into himself. Unexpectedly, the drug produced strong side effects. Although Connors successfully regenerated his severed arm, he also transformed into a half-human, half-Lizard monster.
Yang Tao looked at the man who was about to pass him and softly called out, "Dr. Connors?"
Hearing someone call his name, Connors immediately stopped and looked at Yang Tao in confusion, asking, "Excuse me? Do you know me?"
It really is you!
However, the Curt Connors in front of him did not provide exploration value. There was nothing he could do, as Spider-Man 4 had not yet appeared.
Yang Tao showed a sincere smile and said, "Dr. Curt Connors, hello. Let me introduce myself, my name is Yang Tao."
"I originally came here to find Dr. Otto to invest in his research, but after meeting you, I feel we have a great connection. I wonder if Dr. Connors has time to talk about limb regeneration and investment?"
Connors immediately became interested when he heard the word 'investment.' Not all investments yield returns, and similarly, not all experiments receive investment.
He had been researching limb regeneration ever since losing his arm, but he lacked a financier, or rather, a patsy.
"Dr. Octavius? His research and achievements in energy are indeed admirable."
"To be honest, I do lack investment. I need an advanced biological laboratory and a large amount of experimental materials, which is not a small investment."
What a coincidence!
I just happen to have a biological laboratory far superior to anything in this world.
After all, the biological technology of Resident Evil far surpasses this world. As for test subjects...
"Dr. Connors, these are small problems. Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. Even things that money can't solve, I can help you with one or two..."
"However... the experiment location might be a bit far. You'll need to explain it to your family, as you might not be able to return for a while."
Connors had no objection to this and nodded gently, saying, "Of course, no problem. I'll go back and prepare, and then I'll personally visit you when you have time."
Yang Tao nodded gently, but then he remembered that he didn't seem to have his own base in this world yet, so he pointed to Harry Osborn beside him and said, "Harry Osborn. Hearing that name, Dr. Connors, you should know where to find me."
Hearing that name, Connors revealed a surprised smile. A person's reputation precedes them. The famous Oscorp Group was much more real than Yang Tao's vague promises.
Harry politely stepped forward and extended his hand to shake Connors's remaining hand: "Hello, Professor Connors."
"Don't worry, even if Mr. Yang cannot invest in your research, our Osborn Company will. Our Oscorp Group is never stingy when it comes to talent."
Regardless of what was special about Professor Connors, being so highly regarded and courted by someone like Yang Tao, who possessed magical powers, clearly meant he was no ordinary person.
His Oscorp Group needed such talent, a breakthrough product that could revitalize the group.
"Professor Connors, you can find me at the Oscorp Building. Here's my business card."
"Okay!"
Professor Connors took the business card and then said, "Dr. Octavius should be in the lab now. You might have to wait a bit longer."
"His lab is on the third floor. You can go to the designated waiting room and wait for a while."
Yang Tao nodded gently.
"Alright, Dr. Connors, I look forward to meeting you again. When we do, I will definitely make you feel that your trip was worthwhile."
