Chapter 1139
The next day.
The weather was fine, and the sky was as clear as if it had been washed.
In the Daily Bugle boss's office, Betty Brant argued strongly and won a good price for the Spider-Man photos.
Exclusive.
Five hundred dollars per photo.
This price was much higher than the price Peter Parker sold Spider-Man photos for in the movie.
There were two main reasons.
One: Betty Brant was an employee of the Daily Bugle and also Jameson's secretary and assistant, so naturally, it wasn't easy to squeeze the price as hard as one would with Peter Parker.
Two: Betty Brant's mindset had changed; she was already prepared to resign at any time, so naturally, she had the confidence to argue with Jameson.
Moreover, Su Quan specifically called Spider-Man over for her to take photos and sell them, which was actually a form of compensation and security. Even if she left with him, she would have money in her hands and wouldn't panic.
"Bang!"
A sudden loud noise, for no reason, shook Betty Brant, who had just come out of the boss's office, and she nearly fell. Seeing her colleagues looking out the window in horror, she looked over too.
The bustling crowd on the street scattered in terror, various screams rose one after another, and the whole place was in a mess.
Today was the World Carnival held by the Exploration Aerospace Company. As everyone knows, Westerners who believe in happy education are almost party animals; there is simply no occasion where they won't hold a party.
For a lively event like a carnival, there were countless participants.
It was lively enough, and the fun was high enough, but once something went wrong, it was an uncontrollable disaster.
For example, right now!
"Look, what is that thing?"
"Someone, someone is flying."
"That looks like the glider developed by Oscorp. My God, has it already been developed?"
Betty Brant squinted at the distant sky, where a person wearing green armor that looked like a demon was standing on a jet-powered glider, showing off his power in the air.
Not far away, the balcony of a building had collapsed; it looked like it had been blown down by some high-explosive bomb. The loud "bang" just now must have originated from this.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Green Goblin Serum."
On the roof of another building, Su Quan sat on the edge of the parapet, his feet dangling in the air, watching the Green Goblin, who was cackling in the sky, with a blank expression.
After the military prepared to terminate its contract with Oscorp, Su Quan had contacted him and once again brought up the proposal to invest in the "Human Enhancement Serum" project, but it was politely declined again.
Norman Osborn stubbornly believed that there were no problems with the experiment; he didn't want others to reap the rewards, and he also wanted to prove himself. In the end, he acted willfully and injected the serum himself.
He succeeded, but not completely.
The serum granted him super strength, super speed, super reflexes, and super stamina, far exceeding those of ordinary people, giving him power almost on par with Spider-Man.
However, the serum also affected his mind, giving rise to a cruel, irritable Green Goblin personality that only knew how to destroy.
This version of the Green Goblin serum was somewhat similar to the Super Soldier Serum; good people would become even better, and evil people would become even more evil.
However, its negative effects were much greater than those of the Super Soldier Serum.
This could also be considered a truth: people with weak minds or flaws in their hearts who gain powerful strength will, nine times out of ten, turn to the dark side.
