Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

"But why would we make batteries with even lower capacity?"

Of course! How would you make money if you didn't squeeze toothpaste?

Peter, who was well aware of the various underhanded tactics employed by mobile phone manufacturers in his previous life, couldn't help but complain in his mind.

However, he naturally wouldn't tell Herman about this, so he just made up an excuse: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime; I don't want to be targeted by those tech giants too early."

Although it was just an excuse, it still amazed Hermann.

That's why they're the boss and I'm just working for them!

After exchanging contact information with Herman, Peter initially planned to leave, but after glancing at Herman's armor and iron gauntlets, he quickly changed his mind:

"Wait! Take off this suit and equipment. Who knows if the witnesses have already described what you look like to the police?"

You wouldn't want to be caught in the net the instant you stepped out of the alley, would you?

"Boss is wise!" Herman was moved again and immediately stripped off his equipment.

After Herman left the alley, Peter nodded in satisfaction and then picked up the equipment from the ground.

The moment the fingers touched the equipment, a system notification sounded in my brain:

[A dark green item that can be sacrificed has been detected: a horrifying tool used in the crime]

The chilling work clothes and vibrating gloves, though only the first set of criminal equipment created by the horror franchise, hold extraordinary commemorative significance for the horror franchise.

[Sacrifice will earn you 800 points. Want to sacrifice?]

"Since you're going to go ashore and become a proper person anyway, why don't I, the boss, make good use of this set of equipment for you!"

After whispering this, Peter chose to sacrifice himself without any hesitation.

Peter was overjoyed to see another 800 sacrifice points arrive in his account.

Not only did they recruit Herman, a talented individual, but they also gained a huge amount of sacrifice points. Being a superhero is such a wonderful thing!

Chapter 28 Angel Investors

With his exceptional perception, Peter easily returned to school without alerting anyone and successfully removed his battle suit.

Almost immediately after he finished, the school bell rang.

When Peter returned to the classroom, none of the other students paid any attention to his movements.

Only Gwen stared at him intently, her gaze quite complex.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't her suspecting that Peter is the "arbitrator".

Rather, she was extremely dissatisfied with Peter's "mysterious disappearance"!

She was in a terrible mood because of the stark contrast between herself and the adjudicator, as well as being misunderstood by the police!

Therefore, after returning to school, her first instinct was to talk to Peter to ease her bad mood.

But she couldn't find Peter anywhere, which made her feel even worse.

Anyone who's ever had a girlfriend knows that when your girlfriend is unhappy, even breathing is wrong. If you dare to act happy, it's like dancing on a grave.

Therefore, Gwen, who couldn't find Peter anywhere, instantly puffed up her cheeks like a steamed bun when she saw him appear before her with a smile:

Where did you go? I can't find you anywhere.

Peter, being a time traveler, naturally handled this with ease:

"Oh, I later heard that Ghost Spider also appeared at Manhattan Bank, so I wanted to go and see what was going on."

"But there were just too many people watching, I couldn't squeeze in at all."

Hearing them say that Ghost Spider was being constantly beaten by the robbers, I figured they must have mistaken him for someone else. How could the chivalrous Ghost Spider be so weak?

"So, I left early again and went to the library to read for a while."

"Oh, by the way, didn't you go to watch the excitement early this morning? Did you see the ghost spider?"

Peter's words nearly choked Gwen to death on the spot, and her pretty face turned bright red.

I'm really sorry I'm so weak!

However, at the same time, she couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.

Fortunately, Peter didn't see his embarrassing moment, otherwise, that guy might have become a fan of the Arbitrator!

Faced with Peter's question, Gwen hesitated for half a second before finally giving up on lying and saying that she "didn't see the ghost spider at all."

Her main concern was that new videos might surface online today, making it impossible to explain them later.

Gwen, who had originally intended to playfully tease Peter, was instantly dumbfounded and could only awkwardly describe how troublesome Peter was and how unreasonable the newly appeared judge was.

His demeanor, his expression... he looked as helpless as a man.

After easily getting Gwen under his control, Peter took advantage of the boring class time to start planning his business empire again.

Even with Hermann's battery technology, starting a technology company from scratch is no easy task.

Production lines, raw materials, designers, distribution channels, marketing... every link is a money-devouring behemoth.

Even if he invested all four million dollars he "borrowed" from Kingpin, it would only be a drop in the ocean.

Not to mention that this money is something that can't be done in the open.

Therefore, the best way to quickly take this most difficult first step is to find a reliable angel investor!

When it comes to investors.

The first image that flashed through Peter's mind was that of the man with the flamboyant mustache, whose face seemed to scream "I am a genius, a billionaire, a playboy, and a super philanthropist"—Tony Stark.

As the head of Stark Industries and the future Iron Man, Tony's financial resources and connections are beyond question.

But the thought only lasted for less than a second before Peter decisively extinguished it.

The "father-son relationship" between Tony and Peter is a special feature of the Tom Holland version.

He has absolutely nothing to do with Peter from the Gwen Spider universe!

Not to mention the Tony we know now, he's not even Iron Man anymore, he's just a pure playboy!

He was just an unknown high school student, and someone came to his door with so-called cutting-edge technology...

The most likely outcome will be just like Killian in Iron Man 3, where he gets stood up and left to spend the night in the cold wind on the rooftop!

Peter didn't want to accept such "humiliation".

So, Tony... pass!

Aside from Stark Industries, which other giant could become Peter's angel investor?

The answer to this question is obvious.

Osborne Group!

In Peter's universe, just like in the movie universe, he and Harry Osborn, the eldest son of the Osborn Corporation, are childhood best friends!

Moreover, Harry's father, the future "Green Goblin" Norman Osborn, also admired him greatly, even more than he admired his own son.

It's clearly more reliable to seek investment from Norman Osborne than from Tony Starkla, whom you don't even know!

Given the extent of Norman's admiration for him, all he needed to do was produce a battery sample and present it to Norman, combining it with his own understanding of "smartphones"...

Getting tens of millions of dollars in angel investment from them shouldn't be a problem!

Moreover, with the Osborn Group as his backer, he no longer needs to worry about his business being coveted and swallowed up by other financial giants.

Doing this might make me owe the Osborne family a huge favor...

Generally speaking, Peter is unwilling to owe others favors!

But Osborne was an exception.

The reason is simple: his family's favors are just too easy to repay!

The genetic disease inherited by the Osborne family is incurable for others, but for him, who possesses the Horse Charm, it is nothing more than a matter of lifting a finger.

Although the Horse Talisman cannot instantly cure genetic defects.

But isn't it enough to help Harry and Norman eliminate their symptoms and slow down the frequency and timing of their attacks?

If you can help the Osborn family solve their genetic defect, the entire Osborn Group will become your strongest ally!

Isn't this much better than fawning over Tony Stark's stinky feet?

The more Peter thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

After school, without hesitation, he took out his phone and dialed Harry Osborn's number.

"Hey Harry, long time no see. Got some time after school?"

Harry was overjoyed to receive Peter's initiative in contacting him, and his excited voice immediately came through the phone:

"Oh, Peter, you finally remembered me! I was planning to visit you this weekend, what a coincidence! Wait a minute, I'm coming to see you now!"

Not long after Harry hung up the phone, a rather flashy convertible pulled up in front of Peter's house.

Harry jumped out of the car, gave Peter a big hug, and then asked casually:

"What should we play today? Basketball or arcade games?"

Faced with Harry's question, Peter subtly twitched the corner of his mouth before speaking:

"Well, actually, the reason I called you here today was to ask if you'd be interested in partnering with me in business?"

Chapter 29 Osborn on the Cliff

"what?"

Upon hearing Peter mention doing business, Harry couldn't help but raise a big question mark on his forehead.

"What kind of business do you want to start? Handmade burgers or an ice cream cart?"

This is not Harry trying to be sarcastic or mean to Peter.

In his mind, Peter's family background meant he could only do small businesses like this.

Of course, even if Peter just wanted to get him to do this kind of "public" job, Harry, being a rich young master, would definitely join without even batting an eye.
