Chapter 64 - SPIDER MAN (1/2)
Empire State High School, New York Queens.
Because of Peter and his uncle’s quest, Lin Rui recently planned to be close to Peter and want to observe Spiderman’s changes and growth at close range. So when Lin Rui saw Peter at the school gate, he ran over.
“Hey! Peter!” As usual, Lin Rui reached behind and patted Peter on the shoulder and greeted him happily.
“Hey! Jackson.” However, it seems that Peter is not in a good mood as he just lightly replies to Lin Rui.
Professor Connors’s experiment failed and Peter has been troubled lately by what magical changes he seems to have made as a result of being bitten by a mutant spider. During the first few days of being bitten by the spider, Peter had no idea how to control his sudden surge of power and his sensitive senses. Just like now, if Lin Rui hadn’t been a close friend of his, Peter would have thrown him over when he patted him on the shoulder.
“Are you okay, Peter? Look, you’ve been a bit weird lately. What happened to you? You know, we are good friends. You can tell me anything.” Guessing roughly what Peter was going through at this time, Lin Rui asked with a smile and his hand on Peter’s shoulder. If Peter could tell Lin Rui about his own changes, he would be able to help Peter adapt to the changes in his body, rather than watching them in the dark.
“Uh-huh. It’s okay. I just haven’t slept well recently. Don’t worry about it.” Although he appreciates Lin Rui’s concern for him, Peter still feels that he should figure out what’s happening to him on his own. He doesn’t want his friend to think of himself as a monster.
“OK, you know, I am always here for you.” Since Peter was unwilling to say anything, of course, Lin Rui would not force him and he finally went to the cla.s.sroom with him.
“Do you know what Tom has been doing lately?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t met with him for a long time now.”
“Yes, everyone seems to be very busy lately.”

“Peter, let’s go home together after school.” Feeling Peter’s rapidly growing strength and uncontrolled agility, Lin Rui didn’t want him to go home alone.
“Oh, It’s okay, I’m going to Professor Connors later.” Although he doesn’t know why Lin Rui cares so much about him today, Peter does need to go to Dr. Connors to do experiments today. He has some new ideas about the decay rate algorithm of genetics optimization.
“Well, I’ll go first. Be careful.” Knowing that Peter was still working on cell regeneration with Professor Connors, Lin Rui could not remind him that Professor Connors might become a lizard and had to back off before he says anything unusual.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be okay.” Waving to Lin Rui, Peter took out his skateboard and left the school quickly.
“I hope their experiment will succeed so that there will be no lizard and less trouble for me.” Looking at Peter’s departure, Lin Rui muttered to himself.
……
In Oscorp, Professor Connors’lab, Peter and Professor Connors are experimenting with optimized decay rate algorithms on computers as they don’t want to go through what happened last week again.
“The experiment failed and the experimental body died.”
“The experiment failed and the experimental body died.”
“The experiment failed and the experimental body died.”
……
By constantly modifying the decay rate algorithm, Professors Connors and Peter got computer hints that the experiment failed over and over again. Professor Connors was almost desperate to see experiments that had failed many times before. Can he now succeed with an optimization algorithm with the help of a high school student, a study he couldn’t complete 20 years ago? It’s still naive to think about. Not wanting to see a reminder of the failure of the experiment before him, Professor Connors turned and prepared to leave.
“The experiment was successful and the limb generation was completed.” But the next second Professor Connors turned and left, the computer simulation succeeded. The simulated three-legged mouse grew the lost foot without any other mutation.
“Hey! Professor.” Peter, who had been staring at the screen, quickly stopped and turned towards Professor Connors.
“Successfull! It really succeeded!” Professor Connors, who had turned back, also saw the results of the computer simulation and shouted excitedly.
“Yes, Professor!”
“Thank you, Peter! Thank you!”
……
Finally, he helped Professor Connors finish the experiment and Peter slowly returned home with a relaxed expression on the skateboard. But he seems to have forgotten something. When he left home today, Uncle Ben told him to pick Aunt May up at night, but he had been in Professor Connors’lab and had forgotten all about it.
……
“You own your aunt an apology big time, Be a man, Get in there and apologize!” Uncle Ben was angry at Peter’s failure.
“I am sorry Aunt May… I got distracted.” Peter apologized to Aunt May feeling pretty bad himself that he had forgotten it.
