A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Uh... fish farming." Peter scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Huh?" This time it was Cao Gui's turn to be confused: "We're developing the aquatic product industry?"

“It’s an electric eel!” Harry’s face darkened. “He’s talking about bioelectric technology. Stark Industries is entering the energy industry, and Osborn certainly won’t be left behind.”

“We had this idea a long time ago: to use bio-electricity to generate electricity. The fish he mentioned is an organism that Osborn bred specifically to provide power. That kind of electric eel can generate a lot of electricity.”

"Oh, I see." Cao Gui suddenly realized that Osborne had also entered the energy industry.

"Let's go in, class is about to start," Cao Gui said. Just then, a basketball suddenly flew from the side, aiming at Cao Gui's right cheek.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. He had noticed the basketball the moment it left his hand, but he was surprised that someone would do such a thing.

Turning my head, I saw a little mud dog with dark skin, an Asian face, and a very high hairline.

That face, that skin color... it's practically a Datley from India.

Before Cao Gui could even make a move, Peter Parker suddenly leaped up, flipped in mid-air, and deftly caught the basketball.

"Hey! Eugene, what are you up to!" Peter glared at him.

“Wow! Peter, you reacted really fast,” Harry exclaimed.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. Peter Parker... really did mutate after being bitten by a spider!

Chapter 297 Electro Max

"I'm sorry, Peter, my hand slipped and I accidentally hurt your friend," the third man named Eugene said with a grin. Although he said apologetic, there was no remorse in his expression.

"You bastard, what are you doing!" Peter said angrily. "Don't you know that doing this could easily hurt someone!"

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, I apologize," Eugene said with a smile.

"Dude, I've already apologized, what more do you want? Are you going to hit me?"

"Hahahaha..." Eugene's students suddenly burst into laughter. They liked it this way, and they felt uncomfortable seeing them. However, the good students wouldn't lay a hand on them for the sake of their image.

Even if I were to fight, I wouldn't be able to beat them. As for the teacher... an apology would be enough. What more do you want from me?

A flash of anger crossed Peter Parker's face, but he quickly suppressed it. Sometimes he really wanted to beat these guys up.

Beside him, Cao Gui reached out and took the basketball from Parker's hand, gently tossing it around: "Hey, buddy, is this your basketball?"

"Of course." Eugene, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, remained smiling. He was just an upperclassman; it wasn't like he hadn't seen him before.

Cao Gui smiled slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, the basketball began to spin on his fingertips.

Wow~

"That move was so cool!"

The surrounding crowd gasped in amazement. They could also do that move, but they couldn't do it as smoothly and effortlessly as Cao Gui.

At this moment, Cao Gui gently tapped the basketball, and it bounced out, flying towards the dark-skinned Eugene.

"Oh, shit!"

Eugene's expression changed immediately. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but the trajectory of the basketball seemed unpredictable, and he felt like he couldn't catch it.

Before the thought had even subsided, everything went black, and with a thud, Eugene felt a sudden stinging pain in his nose, followed by tears streaming down his face.

"Ouch..." Eugene quickly covered his nose, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Haha, Eugene, you look hilarious right now..."

"Oh God, does anyone have a camera? Quick, take a picture, hahaha..."

Cao Gui shrugged: "Sorry, buddy, my hand slipped."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the teaching building.

……

Osborne Tower, 74th floor.

This is a biological laboratory where many special organisms are cultivated, such as spiders. Although these spiders are no longer of much use in medicine, Osborne used them to develop another biological rope.

Although Gwen can produce her own spider silk, she rarely uses that type of silk anymore in order to protect her identity. Instead, she created a web launcher using Osborn's spider-like web-laying rope.

In addition, there are many other special creatures, such as electric eels that emanate tiny arcs of electricity from their bodies in round pools.

"Buzz... Max." A voice came through the walkie-talkie: "There seems to be a problem with the circuitry in our gene lab. Go check it out."

Max, the black man who was staring at the circuit diagram, looked up, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Mr. Smith, I am a designer, not a technician. You should find a technician who repairs circuits for this kind of thing."

"Buzz... Max, you designed the circuit diagram for the gene lab. As the designer, I think you must be very familiar with circuits and can handle this kind of small problem with ease. Hurry up, we still have experiments to do."

“Mr. Smith, I… hello?” Max scratched his thinning hair. “Damn it, he always gives me things that aren’t related to my work.”

Although reluctant, Max went to work on the circuit. As Smith said in the walkie-talkie, he designed the circuit and he really knew the lab's circuits by heart. Even the biggest problems were small problems for him.

"Damn Smith, that wretched Osborn, I've contributed so much to the company, but they don't even notice me," Max muttered, rummaging through his tools.

“I don’t have a single friend in Osborne… Oh, not you guys, the guys who generate electricity.”

Max waved to the electric eels in the circular pool: "You're my friends... Oh, and Parker too, too bad he started school today, so now I'm all alone."

"Emma, ​​bring up the circuit problem so I can take a look." Max tapped the control panel next to him, calling Osborn's artificial intelligence.

Soon, a circuit problem appeared on the screen.

"Damn it, how did that insulation layer melt?" Max's expression changed slightly. Not only had the insulation layer melted, but the clips that secured the circuit had also melted, and the entire wire was swaying like a noodle.

The reason for this is simple: that bastard Smith added another pool of electric eels to the lab, causing excessive current and overloading the circuit.

"Shit, is this guy out of his mind?" Max muttered in dissatisfaction.

"We know the circuit's load-bearing capacity, so why add electric eels repeatedly? Are we trying to scam experimental funding again today?"

Despite his muttering, Max took his tools and went to the spot where the insulation had melted.

"Kari, this is Max. Please turn off the power to Sector 32."

"Max, it's Mr. Smith's birthday today, we're celebrating, wait a minute... Hey, why aren't you here?"

Max's face turned green. That damn Smith! He didn't invite me to his birthday celebration, and now he's making me come out to work. Does this bastard hate me that much?

"Hey buddy, you can't do that! This is high voltage, it's dangerous..."

"Kari, come here quickly, Mr. Smith is calling you." A soft but clear voice came through the walkie-talkie:

"...I'm sorry, I have to go. Please wait a moment, I'll cut off the power for you in a bit."

After that, there was no more sound from the walkie-talkie.

"Damn Smith!" Max gritted his teeth. "One day I'm going to beat that guy to a pulp!"

After a moment's thought, Max still took his tools and went into the circuit. Although it was troublesome, it was only a minor problem. As an electrical engineer, he had dealt with this situation before, although that was under pressure from Smith.

Max climbed onto the metal frame, easily bundled the wires with insulating tape, temporarily insulating them. All he had to do next was put the wires back in their original positions.

"See, guys, this is no problem for me." Max grinned and said to the electric eels in the pool below. Here, apart from Parker who had returned to school, these were the only creatures that listened to him.

However, just as Max put the wire back in place, a numbing sensation suddenly shot through his hand.

Crackling sounds!

In an instant, sparks flew, Max's body stiffened and trembled, and his foot slipped on the iron frame, falling with a "plop" into the pool where electric eels were kept.

What's worse, he was also holding a high-voltage power line.

"Gurgle gurgle... Waaaaaaahh ...

Crackling sounds!

The electric eel, capable of releasing high-intensity currents, was suddenly stimulated and began discharging at full power, coupled with the high-voltage electricity in Max's hand...

In an instant, dazzling flashes of electricity lit up the pool, and blue-white arcs of electricity flickered in the water, making it possible to vaguely see Max's body.

In a short period of time, he endured terrifying electric shocks, with pale blue arcs of electricity constantly flashing across his body.

boom!

With a loud bang, the entire pool exploded, shattering glass and scattering electric eels everywhere.

In the center of the pool, only Max's charred corpse remained, occasionally twitching and crackling with two bursts of electricity before falling silent.

Chapter 298 Electro: I'm Hungry

Ring ring~

In the evening, the school bell rang at Midtown High School, signaling the end of the school day.

However, unlike in the past, the students did not rush home. Instead, they chatted with their close friends. Having not seen each other for a long time, the students always had endless topics to talk about.

Cao Gui and Harry didn't feel that way. Men, besides drinking, talking about girls at work, or playing games, don't really have much to talk about.

It would be quite strange for two guys to have a dry conversation, but it's different for girls; they always have so much to say, like Gwen, Lucy, and Beth who are not far away.

Watching the three chattering away, Cao Gui couldn't help but touch his nose. Come to think of it, he hadn't spent time with Beth in a long time. Ever since the Stark Expo, Cao Gui had been busy dealing with all sorts of things, and recently he had devoted all his energy to cultivation.

"Hey boys, wanna go out and have some fun?" Lucy waved to Cao Gui and Harry and asked.

They had just decided to enjoy the New York City night view together; it wasn't that they hadn't seen it before... well, it had been a long time since they'd gone out at night.

Especially after the hatred ravaged Fifth Avenue, going out at night became one of the things New Yorkers couldn't do.

Later they learned that it wasn't just at night, but also during the day. In short, New York was very dangerous. However, nothing major had happened in New York in the past two months, so it should be safe now... right?

"Where to?" Cao Gui asked. "It can't be Fifth Avenue or Times Square, can it?"

“No, we’re not stupid,” Lucy said irritably. “Going to Dufy Square is relatively remote.”

"Harry, what do you think?" Cao Gui asked. To be honest, he didn't really want to go; cultivation was more important. But since both of his girlfriends had gone, he figured he should go too, just in case... cough cough, anyway, it was better to go.

“I’m fine…no, I have a problem.” Harry was saying this when he seemed to remember something and quickly picked up his phone to dial someone’s number:

"Guys, I'm going, but I need to bring someone with me."

"Who is it? Your assistant?"
