Marvel's Spider-Man: Web of Fate

It doesn't have human taste buds, and it's not picky about food, so it doesn't care what kind of food it is.

In that case, maybe he won't have to open Parker Industries in the future, but can open a Parker Beauty Center instead?

However, Peter was just thinking about it casually.

In fact, even Parker Industries doesn't have any particular plans to get involved right now.

Because if that were the case, he would have to learn how to manage a business, lest he end up like the Osborn Corporation in the world of The Amazing Spider-Man and The Bad Boys, almost getting swindled by others.

That would only bring him a lot of trouble.

If he were to use the symbiote's properties to set up a medical aesthetics center, since only he could control the second-generation Venom symbiote, he would need to be busy with this matter every day.

Although this way, he might get to meet a lot of beautiful young ladies and older women.

But that was completely contrary to his original intention.

He doesn't have that much free time to do that kind of thing!

It's very tempting.

Pshaw, Peter Parker, you're Spider-Man, and the Spider-Man who travels through the multiverse and vows to be the savior of all Spider-Men!

How can you focus your attention on something like this?

Peter harshly rebuked himself.

However, if someone really needs help with a medical condition, he wouldn't mind lending a hand occasionally.

After finalizing the "Second Generation Venom Suit Training Program," Peter began to consider which university to attend.

He can earn high school credits at any time, which means he can graduate whenever he wants.

But choosing which university to attend after graduation is a real dilemma for him.

Stark's recommendation of MIT is indeed excellent, but MIT is in Boston, and Boston is a full 341 kilometers away from New York.

If he goes to Boston, he certainly won't be able to return to New York often.

This means that "New York's good neighbor Spider-Man" will henceforth only be able to become "Boston's good neighbor Spider-Man".

Not only that, he also rarely saw Aunt May, Betty, Ned, and the others after that.

Aunt May has her own job in New York, while Betty and Ned obviously can't graduate with full credits like him.

How to do it?

It would be best to choose a university that is closer to you to study first.

Chapter 152 Choosing a University

It should be close, but not too bad either.

Peter quickly identified a target.

Columbia University.

Columbia University is located in Manhattan, New York City. Formerly King's College, it is similar to MIT and belongs to the category of "world-class private research universities".

The university offers majors in social sciences, biology, and information technology, and boasts world-class law and journalism schools.

Although it is not ranked as high as MIT, as the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and in some areas, it is actually better than the latter.

And these "certain fields" include "biology," which Peter currently needs very much.

Actually, it was the school Betty wanted to attend after graduating from high school.

Betty had mentioned this to him before, because the Pulitzer Prize, awarded by Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, is the highest honor in American journalism.

For Betty, who dreams of becoming a journalist, this award is clearly also her dream.

Of course, for Peter, the most important thing was obviously his outstanding performance in biology.

This will not only allow him to better research and develop his spider abilities, but also enable him to create better nano-silk materials and acquire extensive knowledge to research and guard against the second-generation Venom symbiote.

Indeed, Peter did not underestimate the second-generation Venom symbiote.

Even if it seems completely harmless and under his complete control now, what if it still has some impact on him?

In this world, Peter didn't know any big names in biology.

Tony Stark has done very little research in this area.

Since that's the case, he'll have to do it himself.

Since he couldn't find a trustworthy expert in biology, it made perfect sense for him to become that "expert" himself, right?

As for other majors at universities, as long as he learns fast enough, he can get a few more degrees from other places after getting his degree here!

I wonder if Tony Stark knows anyone at Columbia University.

It's not enrollment season right now.

Peter stroked his chin, thinking to himself: I've heard that some schools offer special admissions. If I achieve something, could I get in through special admissions?

It's true that "everything is difficult at the beginning"!

-

Over the next few days, Peter resumed his previous lifestyle.

Oh no, I mean I'm busier.

The next day, Peter told Tony Stark about his idea.

Although Stark had some reservations about Peter not prioritizing his alma mater, he reluctantly agreed with Peter's idea after hearing his explanation.

Then he told Peter to figure out how to graduate from high school on his own, saying that as long as he could handle it, Columbia University would be fine too.

Peter knew immediately that Stark was testing him again.

But this doesn't bother him.

Thanks to Stark Industries' previous investment in and recognition of "Peter Parker," Peter is now a fairly well-known figure at Midtown High School.

Peter communicated his wishes to his mentor, Mr. Harrington, and received a reply within a few days.

Although reluctant, Principal Morita of Midtown High School was happy to see a genius emerge from his school.

This is also a great help for the school's own publicity.

With positive publicity, schools can attract more investment, better student enrollment, and so on.

It is worth mentioning that when Peter was taken to Principal Morita's office for a talk, he saw a photo on Principal Morita's desk, and there was a "familiar face" in the photo.

It was Bucky Barnes, the "Winter Soldier," who had faced him before.

Peter subtly inquired and learned that Principal Morita's grandfather was named Jim Morita, a former member of the "Howling Commandos" who fought alongside Bucky during World War II.

After speaking with Principal Morita, Peter received a guarantee from Principal Morita: as long as Peter could indeed obtain the required 24 credits, Principal Morita would handle all the follow-up matters as quickly as possible without any delays.

His only requirement was that if Peter successfully graduated early, he would have to give a graduation speech in front of the entire school.

Peter felt ashamed and resolutely refused.

After some back and forth, the condition was finally changed to: if Peter successfully graduates early, he needs to be interviewed by the campus television station.

The interviewer was Betty.

This wasn't difficult for Peter.

Interacting with your girlfriend as the interviewer and the interviewee sounds kind of exciting!

Cough!

Peter then began his busy work on achieving high test scores.

First comes English, then algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus, followed by biology, chemistry, and physics, and then compulsory courses such as world history, economics, physical education, and art.

For elective courses, he chose Chinese and Italian, as well as creative writing, earth science, environmental science, and so on.

Even with Principal Morita's help in arranging the relevant assessments as quickly as possible, it still took Peter nearly two months to finally obtain all the credits.

In order to earn credits to graduate, Peter has rarely been to the lab in the past two months, and even his good neighbor Spider-Man can only go there every now and then.

It's just a pastime to pass the time while studying.

This form of entertainment is similar to playing video games when ordinary people are tired from studying; both are good ways to relax and enter a state of tranquility.

He rarely even goes to the laboratory, let alone the Sanctuary.

Peter thought that Strange probably thought he had completely given up on learning magic, which was why he didn't go.

But what Strange didn't expect was that he, Peter Parker, could now actively use the [Astral Projection] spell!

In his own world, he takes much longer to emerge each time compared to other parallel universes, about half an hour before reaching his limit and damaging his consciousness.

During this half hour, he was free to move around.

Peter then truly experienced the joy of this state.

In his "celestial" state, he could freely pass through walls and float in the air, feeling completely unrestrained.

Unfortunately, he still can't cast spells in his astral state.

He plans to find Strange when he has some free time to see if he can learn a few tricks.
