Chapter 621
The next day.
The weather was fine, and the sky was clear.
In the Daily Bugle boss's office, Betty Brant argued strongly and secured 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 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 prepared to resign at any time, so she naturally had the confidence to argue with Jameson.
Moreover, Su Quan specifically called Spider-Man over for her to take photos and make money, 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 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 lively 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 creatures; they can throw a party for anything.
For a lively event like a carnival, there were countless participants.
It was lively enough, and fun enough, but once something went wrong, it was an uncontrollable disaster.
For example, right now!
"Look, what is that?"
"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. A person wearing green armor that looked like a demon was standing on a jet-powered glider, showing off and hovering 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 wall, his feet dangling, watching the Green Goblin laughing maniacally in the air with a calm expression.
After the military prepared to terminate its contract with Oscorp, Su Quan had contacted him and brought up the proposal to invest in the "human enhancement serum" project again, but he was politely refused.
Norman Osborn stubbornly believed that there was no problem with the experiment. He didn't want others to reap the rewards, and he wanted to prove himself. In the end, he acted willfully and injected the serum himself.
He succeeded, but not entirely.
The serum granted him super strength, super speed, super reflexes, and super stamina, far exceeding those of ordinary people, giving him strength 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; kind people would become kinder, and evil people would become more evil.
However, its negative impact was much greater than that of the Super Soldier Serum.
This could also be considered a truth: people with weak minds or psychological flaws who gain powerful strength will turn evil nine times out of ten.
For example, Norman Osborn, for example, Wanda Maximoff...
"Whoosh—"
A rippling sound of breaking air rang out, and Peter Parker, wearing his Spider-Man suit, landed steadily beside Su Quan.
"Hi, why are you here?" Peter Parker greeted him and asked curiously.
"Watching the show."
"Watching the show? What show?"
Su Quan pointed to the Green Goblin in the distance: "The show between you and him."
Peter Parker took a look and frowned: "He's very dangerous. Aren't you going to take action?"
Su Quan shrugged noncommittally: "I'm not good at running."
???
Peter Parker was full of question marks. In his heart, Su Quan was very mysterious and powerful, and last night he had even played him in the palm of his hand.
Now, this answer made him unsure whether to believe it or not.
Maybe what he said was true?
He couldn't fly, nor could he swing using spider-webs like him, so he was helpless against this Green Goblin?
"Then leave it to me." Peter Parker volunteered to get up, then suddenly remembered and turned to ask: "By the way, your name, I still don't know what your name is."
"Su Quan."
"I've got it."
After speaking, Peter Parker leaped down, then shot out a spider-web in mid-air and swung toward the Green Goblin like a swing.
Soon, both the public and the Green Goblin discovered Spider-Man, and the Green Goblin and Spider-Man began to fight.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Strength (Green Goblin)"
Although Peter Parker didn't have rich combat experience or professional training, he was indeed very talented in combat and very witty.
Knowing that he didn't have much of an advantage in air combat, he aimed at the glider under the Green Goblin's feet as soon as he made a move.
"Whoosh—"
Peter Parker, swinging in mid-air, directly stuck his spider-web to the Green Goblin's glider and used the force of his descent to pull him down.
"Bang!"
Peter Parker used the large balloons prepared for the carnival to slow down the force of his fall and landed safely.
The Green Goblin did the same, but the glider under his feet was out of control and cut the balloon, so his landing posture was a bit awkward.
When he walked out of the completely deflated balloon, several police officers who hadn't forgotten their duties came up and aimed their guns at him.
"I surrender!"
The Green Goblin very proactively raised his hands high and walked toward them step by step.
"Stop!"
"Don't come any closer!"
"I told you to stop!"
Several police officers felt something was wrong and shouted, but it was too late. The Green Goblin lowered his hands and rushed over, knocking them to the ground with one punch each.
Peter Parker rushed over and threw a punch without any flair.
"Slap!"
The Green Goblin raised his hand and caught his fist very easily.
"Very impressive." The Green Goblin sighed to Peter Parker, then kicked him flying.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Stamina (Green Goblin)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Defense (Green Goblin)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Reflexes (Green Goblin)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Speed (Green Goblin)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Glider"
These were the rewards dropped when the Green Goblin fought the police. In just this short while, all his abilities and equipment had been dropped.
