Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

I'm afraid that if I lose control, the countless tiny barbs on my body will stick firmly to Peter!

Once you really get close to Peter...

The jeers from her classmates and the mocking look from her best friend Betty would definitely make her die on the spot!

If I get nervous and lose control of my strength, I might just tear Peter's clothes off...

That would be even more hilarious!

However, the turmoil of worry and fear in Gwen's heart appeared entirely differently to Peter, who was standing to the side.

As if he could hear her thoughts, he not only didn't distance himself from her, but deliberately moved even closer to her.

He lowered his voice and asked in a slightly aggrieved and sad tone:

"You dislike me? Then I'll leave?"

"I...I didn't!"

Upon hearing this, Gwen panicked and retorted without thinking:

How could I possibly dislike you!

Her face flushed with anxiety, and she was at a loss for what to do. She wanted to reach out and grab Peter to prove that she didn't dislike him, but her hand froze in mid-air, and she dared not move forward.

This extreme inner conflict nearly drove her crazy, to the point that she looked extremely aggrieved.

However, that pitiful look, in the eyes of Peter, who had a somewhat wicked sense of humor, was...

So cute~

Instead of backing away, he moved even closer.

Their faces were almost touching.

"You really don't mind?"

His voice was very low, and as he spoke, his breath, like feathers, gently brushed against Gwen's ear, causing her smooth earlobes to blush slightly.

"Then why did you hide so far away? There's almost enough room for another person to sit between us."

Feeling Peter so close, Gwen's mind went blank, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

What's wrong with Peter today?!

Why has it suddenly become so... so strange!

"I...I just..."

Gwen stammered for a long time, but she still couldn't tell the truth.

You can't exactly say you suddenly gained the superpowers of a spider!

Peter certainly wouldn't believe something so outrageous!

They might even suspect that they are playing a prank on him!

Seeing Gwen coming up with all sorts of excuses and looking so adorable that she was almost driven to tears, Peter finally had a change of heart and decided to stop while he was ahead.

If we keep teasing this future pajama baby, it might really start to get angry on the spot.

He chuckled softly, then suddenly sat up straight, maintaining a normal social distance, and began to talk to her about business:

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."

His tone suddenly became very serious, as if the wicked jerk from before was not him at all.

"I remember you were an intern assistant at the Osborne Corporation, right? In charge of the interspecies genetics project, and the project leader was... Ke..."

He pretended not to remember.

"Kurt Connors".

Gwen almost blurted out, picking up where he left off.

At the same time, his eyes began to shine, a reminder Peter had given himself!

Dr. Connors is an expert in the field of genetics, and perhaps he can give me some advice to help me quickly master this newly acquired power.

But... why would Peter suddenly bring this up?

"Oh right, that's the name."

Peter snapped his fingers, a matter-of-fact expression on his face.

"The visit the day before yesterday morning suddenly sparked my strong interest in biology."

I've been thinking about it, and I think this field seems very promising, so... could you take me to meet Dr. Connors?

He made up a reasonably plausible excuse.

"biology?"

Gwen's expression was somewhat strange.

"Didn't you used to prefer physics? You even said that physics was the ultimate romance of the universe."

"But both my parents are biologists."

Peter mimicked a bear spreading its paws, and then a look of almost arrogant confidence spread across his face:

"Moreover, I believe that with my intelligence, I should be able to obtain both a PhD in biology and a PhD in physics with just a little effort."

These words were spoken with unparalleled arrogance, yet they possessed an irrefutable persuasive power.

Gwen could clearly sense that Peter seemed to have really changed.

He was no longer the somewhat introverted, bookish STEM guy; he became confident, cheerful, and even...charming.

Chapter 7 Shocks Connors for a Century

Looking at Peter, who was speaking eloquently in front of him.

A strange thought even unconsciously welled up in Gwen's mind.

Why does it feel like... Peter is acting more like a superhero than I am?

Although the thought only lasted for less than 0.01 seconds, Gwen decisively extinguished it.

However, after regaining her senses, Gwen had to admit that Peter was indeed more attractive than before.

What Gwen didn't know at the time was that Peter's words contained absolutely no boasting.

Only after he himself became a genius did he truly understand the significance of Qian Xuesen's saying, "No matter how stupid a person is, can they not learn calculus at the age of 14?"

The formulas and theories that were like cryptic texts in his previous university courses, which could only be memorized by rote, are now simply things that Peter can understand at a glance and even apply to other situations.

In addition, the healing power of the horse talisman can slightly alleviate physical discomfort caused by prolonged study, such as nearsightedness and sitting for long periods.

This makes his current learning efficiency seem like he's on steroids.

With such abnormal learning efficiency, obtaining two doctoral degrees is as easy for him as eating and drinking!

Gwen looked at Peter's confident profile, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded:

"Alright then, I'll take you to see Dr. Connors after school."

Just as the two were chatting and laughing about "Dr. Connors," a tall figure swayed as he boarded the school bus.

It was none other than the school bully of Central City No. 1 High School, "Lightning" Thompson.

He habitually scanned the car, searching for the "nerd Parker" he could bully and tease at will.

He quickly identified his target.

But the sneer on his face froze on his lips before it could fully bloom.

Because he saw that Peter Parker was sitting with Gwen Stacy!

The two stood very close, chatting and laughing, their atmosphere incredibly intimate!

The moment it realized this, lightning immediately became quiet.

Who is Gwen Stacy?

That's the police chief's daughter, his father's boss!

If she offends him, her father will really go to the school board and make her suffer the consequences!

With that thought in mind, Lightning instantly became obedient and sheepishly found a seat to sit down.

Forget it, today is not a good day to cause trouble.

Let's wait until Gwen isn't around before we give that Parker a proper "greeting"!

Lightning comforted himself in this way, unaware that he had already missed his only chance in this life.

If he misses out on today, he'll be able to look up to that "bookworm" he once looked down on for the rest of his life.

However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing; at least, the school bully managed to save his own life...

……

After school, Gwen brought Peter to the Osborne Group building as promised.

Using their intern ID cards, the two were able to enter Dr. Connors' laboratory area without any hindrance.

Before they even reached the laboratory door, a heated argument erupted from behind the half-open door.

“Dr. Connors, I need a specific timeframe! Not your vague promises!”

A slightly shrill female voice clearly reached Peter's ears, its tone full of the arrogance of an ultimatum:

"Too much money and time have been invested in this project, and the boss and the board of directors have lost patience!"

If you can't produce tangible results soon, then I regret to inform you of the bad news: budget cuts or even... the complete cancellation of the project!

Give me a little more time!

Dr. Connors’ voice sounded tired and hoarse, yet still carried a hint of stubbornness.

"We're just one step away! Just one last formula, and we'll be able to transfer the lizard's DNA into humans."

This will be a tremendous advancement in the history of human medicine! We will be able to cure all diseases, regenerate missing limbs! Even cancer may potentially be conquered as a result!

"Ha! The same old routine!"
