After getting the takeout, Aaron gave a portion to Felicia.
Watching her fiddling with her phone, he curiously asked, "What are you doing?"
Felicia shook the screen and said, "I'm contacting Professor Connors and Dr. Otto for you, Boss."
"I have already obtained their contact information. They have shown intense interest in your proposal and strongly wish to meet you soon."
Aaron's lips twitched slightly. Felicia had been tormented so badly, with tear streaks still visible at the corners of her eyes, yet she was still working despite her "injuries."
What loyalty, obedience, reliability, and competence!
If you don't improve, who will?
"Have them come to Osborn Industries tomorrow to see me." Aaron said casually, putting the food down and sitting on the edge of the bed.
He just watched Felicia.
"B... Boss?"
"You are too weak. You can't satisfy me at all."
Felicia panicked internally and quickly climbed up. "I... I will work hard."
"I'll start exercising tomorrow—no, tonight. I also know yoga, and many difficult..."
Aaron raised his hand.
Felicia stopped talking, looking at him anxiously.
"That sounds good, but I have already made my decision."
Felicia thought of her three-second tragedy and couldn't help but look despairing.
Aaron placed his hand on her and a beam of light drilled from his palm into Felicia's body.
The next moment, Felicia felt a massive change occurring in her body.
Her previously exhausted body was filled with a new strength and all fatigue was swept away.
But then, her stomach rumbled, and a powerful sense of hunger prompted her to grab the takeout and start eating, completely disregarding her image.
Seeing this, Aaron slowly injected energy into her body. This lessened her feeling of hunger.
He couldn't help but wonder why he never felt this way during his own enhancements.
Could it be because his physical body was reshaped by the primal furnace?
With Aaron's help, Felicia's body finally had enough energy to undergo enhancement.
She asked, "What happened to me?"
"I feel like my body is strange."
Aaron chuckled. "Because you were too weak, I granted you some special abilities: Super Strength, Super Physique, Static Electricity Control, Spider-Sense, Super Agility, Web-Shooting, a certain degree of Regeneration, and a certain degree of Radiation Resistance."
"Congratulations, you have become Spider Woman."
"Ah?" Felicia opened her mouth wide, completely unable to comprehend the scene.
"Now you can lift objects weighing around 15-20 tons, you can easily walk on a 90-degree wall as if on flat ground, your reaction speed allows you to avoid most dangers, and as for web-shooting..."
"Just like this."
Aaron opened his hand and shot out several strands of webbing, wrapping Felicia up in an extremely bizarre posture.
Aaron was momentarily dazed. Was this the ability of a Weaving Master? Silk Artistry perfected? So that's what it meant. It was textbook-level bondage.
Felicia watched the strangely wrapped webbing on her body in terror. It was very tough, but she had a feeling she could have easily dodged it just now.
However, her brain hadn't sent a danger warning, and out of trust for Aaron, she forced herself not to move her body.
And these webs... it seemed like she could break free with some effort?
Felicia looked up, a strange expression flickering in her eyes. She seemed to have figured something out.
No wonder Norman was so respectful toward Aaron.
No wonder he could freely stretch and lengthen, and even vibrate.
No wonder she was so useless, reduced to a Three-Second Woman.
Everything made sense.
Aaron is not human, he is... a God descended upon the world.
At this moment, the computer in front of the bedroom automatically turned on and it switched the screen to a certain image.
Felicia looked at the image above: Aaron holding Kate while "flying."
"Oh my god."
"Boss, so you are God."
"I... I..."
"Shut up first, and pay close attention."
Seeing that Felicia had not yet recovered from her shock, Aaron stopped wasting time explaining. He immediately drew his weapon, and fought another round.
This time, Felicia still lost but she was very happy. She had managed to last a hundred times longer.
That night, Aaron played all night long and successively tested his various strange abilities.
After repeating the same trick multiple times, Aaron finally managed to fall asleep.
The next day.
The sun was high in the sky.
After a perfect morning workout, Aaron took Felicia to Osborn Industries.
When they arrived at the office, they saw two middle-aged men already waiting.
"Where's Norman?"
Aaron glanced around, uncharacteristically not seeing Norman.
Without thinking much, he had Connors and Otto brought in.
"Hello, Mr. Aaron, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I am Curt Connors."
"I am Otto Octavius."
The two bespectacled middle-aged men greeted Aaron enthusiastically.
Aaron leaned against the conference table with his arms crossed, his expression relaxed, as if he was in a rather good mood.
Curt and Otto were a bit puzzled. Hadn't they heard from people outside that Aaron always had a secretary with him? Where was the secretary now?
They hesitated for a moment, then quickly dismissed it.
Aaron exhaled softly, revealing a kind smile, but did not stand up."Dr. Connors, you had a period of cooperation with Osborn Industries, reportedly to develop a fortified limb regeneration potion based on lizards, but unfortunately, you didn't succeed, so Mr. Norman stopped funding you some time ago, right?"
Curt eagerly said, "Actually, Mr. Aaron, my research has reached a crucial point, it's just one step away from success."
"As long as you give me a little more time, I can develop a limb regeneration potion, and even strengthen the human physique, making the human body perfect."
Aaron was noncommittal about what Curt said. Did he not know if it would succeed or not?
Perfect human?
You mean a perfect Lizard person, right?
If it really went your way, the US would be staging a new Hollywood blockbuster: Rise of the Planet of the Lizards.
A Lizard person named Curt Connors leads the Lizard people community, successfully defeats humanity, becomes the new ruler of Earth, and even enslaves humans.
Aaron said, "I remember Felicia asked you to bring a copy of your findings. Did you bring it?"
Curt could tell that Aaron was not interested in the scenario he described. Hearing this, he quickly nodded.
"It's right here."
He carefully took out a box containing a green serum from his briefcase.
Just by looking at the color, you could tell this serum was utterly unreliable.
It was lizard serum, but those who didn't know would think it was a biochemical poison.
"Do you mind if I take a look?"
Aaron said, but had already taken the lizard serum and held it in mid-air to examine it.
"I heard this stuff has many flaws?"
Curt didn't seem to care much about the serum, nor was he afraid of his results being stolen, because Osborn Industries actually had backups of all these materials. But they were all swept into the trash and archived, most likely never to be used again.
"Currently… it hasn't been effective on experimental subjects."
"But I've already found the problem. It's the decay rate algorithm. As long as the algorithm problem can be solved, people can gain self-healing abilities."
Curt was very excited, eager to prove the effectiveness of his research.
