Chapter 93: Little Spider, Big Wisdom (Part 2)
After entering Stark Tower, Connors still walked very fast. Peter chased after them and said, "Okay, Doctor, I have sent you here safely. There should be no danger in Stark Tower. I'll leave first. I have something to do..."
"Something to do? Of course you have something to do! What? Are you going to put on that strange tights again and go out for a stroll?"
"I'm not going to go out for a stroll. That monster is wreaking havoc in the city. I have to stop him..."
"But hasn't Stark gone there? Do you think he can't beat that monster?"
"Uh, no, but he needs help, right?"
"I need help too. Put down your bag and put on a full set of lab coats. Let's go into the lab. To solve this problem, we have to start with the serum. "But I have to join the battle. I can't be a deserter, can I?" Dr. Connors stopped, turned his head and held Peter's shoulder, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "The battlefield may not be there." He pointed out the window and said: "The most important lesson I learned in my military career is that the battlefield is not only the place where bullets are flying. " "Sometimes, here..." Dr. Connors pointed to the ground, "this is a more important battlefield than there." "You have to understand that swinging fists is never more noble than using your brain." "You have to understand that even if you beat up that monster, he will not become a good person who helps others, and the military will not stop their evil experimental plans. To fundamentally solve all this, strength alone is not enough, you must Use your brain."
"But what should I do? I don't understand..."
Peter took the initiative to follow Connors and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "What I have been doing is like this, stopping those bad guys from committing crimes, is there anything wrong with that?"
"Nothing wrong, but I think you can always do better."
"Peter, maybe the mutation in your body and the powerful power you suddenly mastered make you feel that you have changed from weak to strong, and make you feel that you can change the world with this change."
"But in fact, even if you don't have this mutation, you can do this."
"Haven't you discovered it yet? You are a genius. Even if you don't have these powerful powers and abundant physical strength, even if you just go to college and graduate school step by step, you will change sooner or later. world."
"Your mutation only accelerated this process, but it's not all. You have to break free from that inflated emotion and think about who you are."
"Who am I? I am Spider-Man..."
"That's right, but you are also Peter Parker."
Dr. Connors walked in and pointed to the lab table and said, "Look, this is also your battlefield. Here, you will do better than Spider-Man. You can also change the world here."
Peter stood at the door, he tiptoed, then rubbed his hands and said, "Really? But, but no one has ever said this to me. They all think that I have poor physical strength, am not good at sports, and always stay alone. I am a weirdo who doesn't fit in with the group..."
"Do the people who give you these comments have three doctoral degrees?"
"Uh, they are just some high school students, of course not."
"Then who do you think you should believe?"
Peter hesitated.
After a while he said, "Okay. "
Connors' affirmation gave him a lot of courage. He rubbed his wrists vigorously and said, "Then I can try it. Let's not be Spider-Man today and let Spider-Man take a day off. Let's do it here... just like this..."
Connors said while sorting out the materials, "That's right. He will have more days off in the future. New York does not lack a superhero wandering in the air, but the world will always lack a Nobel Prize candidate. "
"I think Peter Parker can also take a day off. I really like wandering in the sky over New York. "Peter shrugged as if relieved.
This was the first time someone told him that Peter Parker was more important than Spider-Man.
Originally, all the confidence he gained came from the identity of Spider-Man with great power. After all, he had been discriminated against a lot in school before, and Spider-Man, who had great power to help others, made him find the meaning of his life.
But he felt that what Dr. Connors said made sense. Those who didn't think highly of him and excluded him were just a group of high school students who had not yet gone to college, but now there were 7 or 8 doctoral titles in total who had affirmed Peter's identity. Peter was not stupid, so after comparing them, of course, the words of these people were more credible.
Originally, he knew that his brain was very useful and he could get good grades without studying hard.
But he never thought about what changes he could bring to the world with his brain.
This is also why he was so excited after gaining the spider's mutant power. He felt that he had changed from a weak person to a strong person, and he had never thought about it. In fact, he was not a weak person.
In fact, Peter has more advantages. Even if he does not have such a smart brain and strong power, his kindness and determination are enough to make him achieve a good achievement in the society of ordinary people.
Children of this age are always full of fantasies about the future, but they are also hesitant. When someone gave him a very positive answer, and the people who gave him this answer have achieved the top achievements in their respective fields, Peter still believed it.
On the other hand, Stark, who had already arrived at the battlefield, also encountered a lot of trouble. This red iguana, Stark called him that, this monster is more troublesome than the lizard man.
First of all, he is bigger than the lizard man, his body size has exceeded 10 meters, and he is as tall as a building.
Secondly, he is extremely powerful, and a random punch can knock down a building, and what is more terrible is that he seems to be in a state of rage, almost unconscious, and can only rush around.
Originally, Stark liked to deal with such brainless enemies, because Jarvis's intelligent calculations can surpass them in tactics, making it easier for Stark to win.
But this red iguana, although irrational, is so huge and powerful that even a charge and a fist are deadly enough.
Moreover, the lizards have only appeared for a few days, and it takes time for Stark's armor to upgrade. He just had some ideas to deal with large monsters, but before he could put them into practice, another big guy like this appeared, which made Stark a little annoyed. His current light mecha is not very useful against such enemies.
When Stark was thinking about tactics, a shining shield flew in and hit the monster's forehead, knocking him off balance.
When Stark saw Steve, his face darkened. He didn't forget that Steve had beaten him up in the name of expelling venom before, and he refused to admit it afterwards, insisting that it was for his own good.
Stark hated it most when someone spoke to him in an elder's tone, and hated it even more when someone beat him up first and then spoke to him like that, and hated it even more when this person could beat up a more difficult enemy again after beating him up, which made him look useless.
Steve took back his shield, jumped directly onto the monster's neck, and then punched him hard twice.
The brain is an important organ of any creature. After being hammered twice, the monster was also stunned for a while. Taking this opportunity, Steve flew a shield over and hit the monster's right calf. The monster retracted its leg in pain, and he hit him from the side again, causing the monster to fall to the ground directly.
"Thank you, Tony. Apart from you, I have never dealt with such a behemoth. You have accumulated a lot of experience for me."

Jarvis said in Stark's mecha: "Your heart rate is detected to be too fast and your blood pressure is high. Please calm down and take a deep breath..."
Stark said: "Start the Hive Project, immediately! Right now!"
"Are you sure you want to release all safety insurances and..."
"I'm sure! Start now!!"
Steve looked up during the fight and saw Stark raising his arm in the air. He waved his hand, and in an instant, countless air-breaking sounds were heard, and dozens of black dots appeared in the air. In a flash, they arrived above the battlefield. There were dozens or hundreds of mechas.
Stark said, "Get out of the way! Old Antique!"
Instantly, a mech swooped over and exploded, and the red iguana was blown back a few steps. Steve flew backwards with his shield raised. He waved his fist and said, "Stop firing at friendly forces. You must be doing this on purpose!"
Stark smiled and said, "You misunderstood. I'm just doing this for your own good."
Stark waved his hand again, and more than a dozen mechs flew over and surrounded the monster. Then, in an instant, high-voltage current burst out from between them, forming an electric grid. After a violent flash, the monster let out a startling scream and was electrocuted to the ground.
Stark said, "This move is indeed good, but I think there is room for improvement. By the way, don't record that the inspiration for this move comes from the yellow-haired mouse called Pikachu. He electrocuted my mecha and I haven't asked him to compensate for it yet."
Although the monster fell down for a while, it quickly climbed up again. Stark said with a headache, "He must be related to that big lizard. What's the matter with their damn self-healing ability?"
Indeed, the burnt scars caused by the electric shock just now healed in less than a few minutes, and his physical strength seemed to recover quickly. He was just beaten by Captain America, and soon he was alive and kicking and started to cause damage.
The attack power of these two people is enough, but without Spider-Man, they lack a little control. Spider-Man's spider silk against such a huge monster can easily make them lose their center of gravity or trip them. Stark just wanted to make a phone call, and he learned from Jarvis that Peter was doing experiments with Dr. Connors.
He hung up the communication directly without saying anything.
Just as the battle became more and more intense, a red and blue figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the city. Peter swung over quickly and kicked the monster on the back, knocking him down.
He was holding a box in his hand, and then he threw the box to Stark and said, "This is the antidote. Inject it directly. Inject all five, and the world will be quiet."
Stark threw the box to a mecha next to him, and then said while flying, "Is this your research result?"
"No, it's actually mainly Dr. Connors. I'm just helping."
"That's your research result."
As he said, the mecha, under Stark's control, opened the box and took out the injection, and then distributed it to several other mechas. Steve distracted the monster's attention, and several mechas attacked from behind and injected the medicine into it.
The monster began to scream wildly, then stretched out its arms and struggled continuously, but after a while, its size began to get smaller and smaller, and soon returned to the size of an ordinary human.
Stark saw the man lying on the ground without arms. He sighed and said to Jarvis: "Send a mech to take him away. If anyone asks, just say he was blown to pieces."
He saw Spider-Man standing on the roof. Stark flew over and stood with him. He asked: "How does it feel to be Peter Parker saving the world?"
"Great, I mean...Great!"
Peter exhaled, as if a burden had suddenly been unloaded.
For the first time, he built up confidence in his true identity. This confidence was not based on the powerful power brought to him by the spider mutation, but burst out from Peter Parker's personality.
It's not that he hadn't thought about it before, if his spider mutation was just a dream, if this power disappeared the next day, what should he do?
In fact, he lived in this doubt and fear for many days. He was afraid of losing this identity. He felt that the world couldn't live without Spider-Man.
And today, Peter felt for the first time that perhaps the world needed Peter Parker in addition to Spider-Man, needed him, and needed him without special powers.
"Wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind." Stark didn't look at him, but looked ahead and said: "Don't set your goal to be a street hero, the road of wisdom is endless."
Peter smiled, he took off his hood, like breaking free from shackles.
His hair kept flying in the breeze, he saw the magnificent clouds in the sunset at the end of the sky, and saw the last brilliant light of the sun disappear below the horizon
He saw the door to a new world.
