------------------------------------------------
Dr. Connors thought Peter was angry.
Gwen thought Peter was sad.
But only Ryan knew that Peter was actually just a little embarrassed and nervous.
Because unlike in the original story, where Peter accidentally discovered the briefcase left by his father and the things hidden inside only after he grew up.
In this Universe, because of the addition of the butterfly Ryan, many things had changed as he flapped his wings.
Including the time Peter received his father's belongings.
With the companionship of a peer like Ryan, Peter wasn't as lonely as in the original story, and his personality was much stronger and more optimistic.
So Ben didn't hide Richard's belongings for fear of causing Peter sadness.
Instead, after some time had passed, he handed the briefcase Richard left behind to Peter.
So Peter had long known from the photos in the briefcase's hidden compartment that his father and Dr. Connors were actually close colleagues and friends.
That was why Peter had been interested in Dr. Connors since he was a child and admired Dr. Connors' knowledge of Cross-Species Genetics, treating him as his idol.
From Ryan's perspective, the reason Peter particularly wanted to attend Dr. Connors' Q&A session this time, besides meeting his idol, was also to personally ask Dr. Connors about his father's past work.
Sure enough, Peter looked up, and there was no anger in his eyes; instead, his expression as he looked at Dr. Connors was somewhat sheepish:
"No, Dr. Connors, I'm the one who should apologize. This was originally a project that my father and you were jointly responsible for, but because of my father, you've been stuck on this project all this time. I should apologize to you on behalf of my father!"
Hearing this, Dr. Connors looked at Peter in a daze: "You don't blame me?"
Peter scratched his head: "You didn't do anything wrong, why would I blame you? My father's death was an accident; it had nothing to do with you."
Dr. Connors suddenly felt as if his heart had been pierced, and he looked at Peter, unable to speak.
He hadn't expected that after being proud all his life and regarded as an authority on Cross-Species Genetics, his mindset was still inferior to that of two children...
Richard, not only are you excellent yourself, but you also have an excellent son and an excellent nephew...
Looking at the contemplative Dr. Connors, Peter suddenly pointed to the blackboard on the wall and asked:
"Dr. Connors, may I borrow this for a moment?"
"Go ahead." Although he didn't know what Peter wanted to do, Dr. Connors, who felt guilty toward Peter at this moment, immediately nodded.
Having received permission, Peter immediately picked up a pen and started writing on the blackboard.
Dr. Connors stood behind Peter, and as he watched the algorithm Peter was quickly writing on the blackboard, it looked more and more familiar.
He soon recognized it—wasn't this the algorithm formula for the Lizard Cell Regeneration Serum?
The formula he had tried for ten years but could never get the correct result for.
But now, in less than a minute, Peter had written the complete algorithm on the blackboard, surpassing his ten years of effort!
"This... this is..."
Dr. Connors was so excited that his voice trembled slightly.
Thud—
As Peter finished the last stroke, he turned his head and nodded to Dr. Connors:
"That's right, this is the final algorithm for the lizard regeneration serum. My father had actually completed the algorithm, but he had an accident before he could hand it over to you..."
Dr. Connors slowly walked to the blackboard, looking at the correct algorithm that had troubled him for ten years now laid out before him. His eyes were full of complexity as he murmured:
"Richard, it's been a whole ten years, and to think you've taught me another lesson. You really are something..."
After his exclamation, a spark of hope ignited in Dr. Connors' eyes, and he turned to Gwen and said:
"Gwen, could you please help me tell the interns that I have an urgent research project to handle, so the Q&A session will have to be postponed? Could you take them to the next stage of the tour for me?"
Gwen naturally knew that since the problem that had troubled her teacher for ten years was solved, Dr. Connors would no longer be in the mood to lecture the interns, so she agreed decisively.
Immediately, Dr. Connors looked at Peter again and invited him with a smile: "Peter, would you be interested in taking your father's place and completing this significant research with me?"
Peter pointed to himself, both surprised and delighted: "Me? Is it really okay?"
Dr. Connors said leisurely: "Of course, I'll arrange an assistant position for you and pay you a salary~"
Hearing this, Peter's neck turned red with excitement, and he wanted to agree immediately.
But before agreeing, he turned and asked Ryan: "Ryan, is it okay?"
He hadn't forgotten that Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei had said he wasn't allowed to think about any part-time jobs for now and should focus on his studies.
But if Ryan had no objection and stood by his side, he believed he could definitely convince the old couple.
Ryan said flatly: "It's your own business, you can make your own decision. You just need to remember that I will always be on your side."
Peter didn't catch the deeper meaning in Ryan's words and only thought Ryan had agreed, so he and Dr. Connors eagerly threw themselves into the research of the regeneration serum.
Ryan shook his head slightly and stopped disturbing them, walking out of the lab with Gwen.
Although his plan to take Peter to find the Super Spider had changed, it wasn't a big problem.
He planned to take several Super Spiders anyway and find an opportunity to put one on Peter and let it bite him.
The result would be the same.
Therefore, after leaving the lab, Ryan used going to the restroom as an excuse and didn't follow Gwen to the intern team, but left alone instead.
After leaving, Ryan headed toward the Super Spider Rearing Room, knowing the way well.
Since he was prepared to get the Super Spider, Ryan naturally wouldn't be without any preparation.
Yesterday, he had commissioned Kingpin to get the blueprints of the Oscorp Tower and the Genetic Pattern Code for the Super Spider Rearing Room.
After avoiding several surveillance positions where he might easily be suspected, Ryan soon arrived at the Super Spider Rearing Room of Osborn Enterprises.
After unlocking the door with the Genetic Pattern Code he had obtained in advance, Ryan walked in openly.
According to the information provided by Kingpin, there were no cameras inside the Rearing Room, so he didn't have to worry at all about being filmed.
Inside the Rearing Room, the Super Spiders bred by Peter's father had been equipped with his own Genetic Lock, which resulted in Osborn Enterprises only being able to utilize their super-tough Super Silk, but unable to utilize the other abilities of the Super Spiders.
