The Legendary Mechanic in Marvel Universe

Chapter 90: Otto's Secret

When Peter first heard Leo's proposal, he really didn't want to leave the laboratory where he had been for a long time.

Moreover, he is still subconsciously disgusted by the blind lawyer in the office next to the Eyre Building.

Therefore, Peter initially rejected Leo's suggestion, and even thought "How could Mr. Erwin be so deliberately embarrassing"!

But when he thought about it carefully, and then tried to look at this issue from Leo's standpoint, he suddenly realized that Leo had really been very generous!

Peter felt that if Leo really wanted to embarrass others, he could actually ignore the life and death of him and Otto.

Leo can definitely independently develop a successful mechanical prosthesis, and then sell it directly without paying him and Otto's salaries and dividends.

With such an analysis, Peter firmly believes that Leo is definitely not the kind of person who forgets his own interests.

In an instant, Leo's personality became a little taller in Peter's heart.

But how did Peter know that without Peter's task being an absolute motivator, Leo wouldn't have been able to tinker with any mechanical prosthesis by himself.

There are many ways to make money in his mind, and even he can make a lot of money by selling "miniature high-compression batteries" alone, so there is no need to make money from mechanical prostheses.

Leo did his best to contribute both money and effort, didn't he just want to get both people and money in a natural way? !

Peter thought he had figured out the whole truth of the matter, and he voluntarily fell for Leo's trick.

"Mr. Erwin, I just thought about it clearly, and I am willing to support your proposal to work at Erwin Technology Company."

Peter turned to look at Otto again,

"I think, with such a good opportunity, Dr. Octavius, you will definitely be willing to go to El Technology with me.

Doctor, we can continue our research work together again. And this time, it must be much faster than the previous research, and it will be much smoother. "

In Peter's cognition, Otto has always had the same goal as his, both wanting to successfully manufacture a mechanical prosthesis for the benefit of disabled people around the world.

Now that there is hope for the completion of their goals, Otto has no reason to refuse to work at El Tech.

However, to Peter's surprise, Otto actually refused.

"Peter, go to El Technology by yourself, your goal is there. Besides, you will have a much better future there than with me.

I have been at NYU for decades, the campus area and labs are like home to me, and there are some old friends here who are like my family.

I'm getting old and don't want to leave here.

Now I have another $2.5 million from selling the 'miniature nuclear reactor' technology, and I don't need to continue investing in the failed 'Nerve Arm' project.

This amount of money is enough for me to live comfortably, even luxuriously, for the rest of my life.

In the future, I just want to teach quietly at New York University and spend the rest of my life in peace.

So, Peter, don't worry, don't worry about me. "

Otto smiled kindly, and his eyes were full of longing for the future.

"Dr. Octavius, I really envy your future life.

In fact, I have always dreamed of this kind of life. Wake up every morning and have a meal with your loved ones. In the evening, have a drink with friends and chat, isn't life beautiful?

Oh, but life is often involuntary. For example, I have lost even a relative and an old friend from the past! "

The outsider Bucky next to him didn't understand the truth of the matter at all. At this time, he was a little longing for and jealous of Otto's better life in the future.

But Leo doesn't believe that Otto will have a good future in the future. There is only one reason, that is, "Dr. Octopus will definitely blacken the law"!

Not only Leo, but even Peter didn't believe Otto's words.

"Dr. Octavius, it's impossible for you to say such a thing, it's not you."

Peter shook his head again and again, with serious and scrutiny in his eyes, staring at Otto said,

"Do you still remember what you said after drinking happily until you got drunk half a year ago, when the 'nerve arm' was successfully activated for the first time?

You may not remember, but I remember clearly.

Yes, you really like NYU's open campus, but you don't like this lab at all.

When you were drunk, you said that when your project is successful and you apply for funding, you must change to a larger and brighter laboratory.

Moreover, you also said at the time that there are many teachers at New York University who are chasing fame and fortune, which makes you very unhappy. "

Peter became more and more excited because he was worried about Otto, stood up and said loudly:

"Home? Family? Doctor, what are you talking about?!

Dr. Octavius, what happened to you? Why are you making up a reason for refusing to go to El Tech? ? What are you hiding from me? ? ? "

There was a sudden silence in the laboratory, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

The outsider Bucky finally said something, but at this time he realized that he was wrong, and he hurriedly lowered his head and played poker quietly.

Although Leo could guess that Otto was not telling the truth, he did not expect that Otto would be exposed by Peter on the spot.

He actually wanted to know why Otto refused to take a job at El Technology and why he lied, so Leo didn't come forward to settle things, but chose to sit quietly and eat melons.

After a long time, Otto sighed deeply and said:

"Peter, I don't want to go to El Tech or leave the lab, just because I want to stay here and continue to study the 'intracranial nerve signal' sensing technology."

Otto paused and wanted to raise his hands to rub his face, but he tried a few times without success, so he put it down helplessly.

Otto sighed again and continued:

"Peter, I'm sorry, I lied to you. The original intention of my research on the 'neural arm' was not as grand as I said to you.

In fact, the ultimate goal of my research on the 'neural arm' ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is for myself. "

Peter didn't understand what Otto said, and asked suspiciously:

"Dr. Octavius, what do you mean? You have good hands and feet, what do you want a 'nerve arm' for?!"

"Humph! Well..."

Otto raised his palms upwards, stared at his own hands and said,

"They're already bad, or they're almost dead, haven't you noticed? I couldn't even rub my face just now."

Peter was even more puzzled, and he asked:

"Doctor, what happened? Why am I getting more and more confused?"

"I have a problem with my body, the doctor said it's called 'degenerative neurological disorder syndrome', and he said there is no cure for this disease.

And one of the main reasons for my illness is that I received a slight nuclear radiation when I solved the radiation problem of the miniature nuclear reactor. Another major reason may be that when I was doing research, I was exposed to toxic substances for too long.

It was because I was too careless when I was young and did things too recklessly. "

Otto shook his head and said helplessly,

"But the strange thing is that this symptom only affects the muscles. My mind is still working normally, but I can't command my body freely, and it will get worse in the future.

That's why I invented this 'intracranial nerve signal sensing technology', hoping that after my muscles fail, I can still rely on it to live independently.

I'm sorry, Peter, I lied to you.

Let's go, you don't have to worry about me anymore, start your own new life, you don't need to be implicated by me in your future, then I will feel guilty! "
