You just hide in the trunk…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be ridiculous. This isn’t even a plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have a detailed map of the base? How will we find where Drake stored the top-secret data? Once we find it, how do we bypass the security systems? How do we open the safe? How do we evade the guards? How do we gather evidence? What if we find physical evidence—how do we move it? And what if we’re caught—how do we escape?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t prepared any of this—and you still plan to walk in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dora stared at Eddie, mouth agape. “You’re really a journalist? Why are you so skilled?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eddie didn’t answer her question—he didn’t know himself. Inside his mind, he asked Venom: “Are you really an alien? Why are you so skilled?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I’m a bat… uh, Venom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eddie told Dora, “Go get the car. I have a few friends who can help us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two drove back to Eddie’s apartment, where Peter, Matt, and Thor were already waiting. As Eddie entered, the other three turned to him. Peter glanced at the emblem on Eddie’s chest, then down at his own spider-suit emblem, and said, “Hey! You’re plagiarizing—that’s my spider symbol!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look closer—is that even a spider?” A raspy voice came from Eddie’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter choked on his words. “Fine, but you just swapped the spider for a bat—the design’s identical. You owe me royalties…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three buckets of cheese balls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five buckets. And they have to be large.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Dora walked in, Eddie introduced her to the group. Peter brought her a chair, and the five sat around the coffee table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thor and I both got selected as volunteers,” Peter said first, then looked at Matt. Matt shook his head. “Don’t forget—I’m still a lawyer. They probably had reservations about that profession, so I wasn’t chosen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You and Thor—one’s a broke, no-background high schooler, the other’s a warehouse worker who used to be homeless. Of course the Life Foundation would trust you more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dora widened her eyes at Peter and Thor. “You didn’t actually apply to be Life Foundation volunteers, did you? That’s dangerous—you absolutely must not go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s just testing finished drugs, fine—but if you’re assigned to product development, you might die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re not really going to be volunteers. They’re just going to work with us from the inside to uncover the Life Foundation’s secrets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I must warn you,” Dora said seriously. “They monitor volunteers extremely tightly. Once you enter the base, they’ll likely inject you with anesthetics or sedatives. At that point, you won’t be able to resist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—they’re not ordinary people. Anesthetics definitely won’t work on them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you get a detailed map of the base?” Eddie asked Dora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dora thought for a moment. “No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My assigned experiments are critical. Drake gave me the highest-level clearance. My access pass can open the security room door directly—the computer there should have detailed route maps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But my specialty is biology—if that computer has security protocols, I might not be able to crack it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Sword Supreme\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Peter raised his hand. “Once I’m inside, you can come straight to me. We’ll go in together—I’ll handle cracking the computer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matt turned to Thor. “You don’t have extra powers, but your physiology is different from ordinary humans. Most drugs don’t affect you. You’ll support Peter—create an escape opportunity for him, then extract the two of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So here’s the plan…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, outside a factory on the eastern side of Brooklyn, a car turned on its high beams and pulled up to the factory gate. At the guard booth, a woman’s hand reached out the window. The guard scanned her access pass with a machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard glanced at the screen—it displayed a photo of a woman, with the name “Dora Milnatz” beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the car’s headlights, the Life Foundation’s main building loomed in the night, its upper windows flickering faintly. In one of those windows, Peter stood among a group, listening as Drake explained the “Life Foundation” concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—yes, you. You look young. What’s your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Peter. Peter Parker, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good name, Peter,” Drake said, walking over and placing a hand on Peter’s shoulder. “You’re not like those homeless people being taken downstairs. You’ll be a great pioneer of the Life Foundation project—and one of the first test subjects. Your name will be carved into the monument of human history.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… sir, I still don’t understand what the Life Foundation project is. I just heard about it and decided to try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That proves you have talent,” Drake said, patting Peter’s shoulder and leading him to a cylindrical lab table, where a cube-shaped projection was displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drake spread his arms and explained: “I know your teachers told you humans haven’t found definitive proof of aliens. To ordinary people, that’s true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But since you’re here, I’ll show you something different—especially to gifted, promising kids like you. You should learn the truth about this world early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… you mean aliens?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, that’s too narrow. Humans always assume other life forms must be like us—with hands and legs. But human bodies and strength are pitifully weak. Life in the universe has evolved far beyond humanity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Peter asked curiously. “Do they look different from humans? What could they possibly look like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drake sighed. “You lack imagination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s fine—you’re young. You can learn slowly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you still haven’t told me what the Life Foundation project is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush, child. Didn’t I say you’d be one of the first pioneers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drake’s voice grew excited. He turned to the dozen or so volunteers near Peter. “You will become the strongest warriors in human history—the guardians of the Life Foundation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With you, neither Stark Group nor that damn Osborn Group will ever interfere with my great plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, but what exactly are we supposed to do?” Peter asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Peter, come here…” Drake walked to a glass observation window and waved Peter over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter approached and saw a similar cylindrical lab table in the room. On it sat a box containing a pool of purple liquid, churning continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is your task. Go in, and bring me that box.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter squinted at the box. “This looks familiar… Why is it purple? Shouldn’t it be black?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Familiar?” Drake chuckled. “It’s not ketchup, kid. Now get in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several lab technicians approached and opened the door. Peter stepped inside and walked toward the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he reached out a hand to touch it, Drake waved to the technicians outside. They pressed buttons on the door panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box lid suddenly popped open. Just then, Peter’s hand hovered above it—the purple slime instantly wrapped his arm and rapidly engulfed his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A raspy female voice emerged from Peter’s throat: “...Huh???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple slime slowly solidified. Its head reshaped; two spider-like compound eyes formed on its face. White web-like stripes appeared across its body. A spider emblem surfaced on its chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter twisted his neck and wrists. “Make the chest lines a bit denser… make the spider emblem bigger… yes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The symbiote clinging to him was stunned. The female voice echoed in his mind: “Are you really human? Why are you so skilled?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I know your relative. His name is Venom. He’s black. Do you know him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who? Venom???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it—you’re Venom’s former host! Goodbye!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the glass, Drake watched as the purple slime rapidly peeled off Peter’s body like a fleeing creature, shooting back into the box and extending a tendril to slam the lid shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter was equally shocked. He opened the lid and reached for the slime. “Don’t run! Why do you hate me so much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got along fine with Venom. Maybe we could too…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Peter’s fingers touched the slime, a furious voice screamed inside his head: “BECAUSE YOU GOT ALONG WITH VENOM! THAT’S WHY I’M STAYING AWAY FROM YOU!! YOU’RE A MANIAC—GET LOST!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slammed the lid shut again, then extended several tendrils, locking it firmly in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter wasn’t passive. He rolled up his sleeves and yanked at the lid. Standing upright gave him no leverage, so he planted one foot on the lab table and pulled the lid like a stubborn carrot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s talk! You’ve got the wrong idea about me. I can’t let you go spreading lies about me—open the lid, or I’ll really start pulling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream on! I’m not talking to a madman! I’m a normal symbiote—stay away from me!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open it now! Don’t say I didn’t warn you—I’m strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way! I don’t believe you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CRASH!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lab table shattered into pieces. Drake and all the researchers were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter bent down, scooped up the purple slime, and said, “I told you—I’m strong. Now explain: Did Venom say bad things about me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple symbiote’s voice cracked. “I knew it! Green Spike and Lei Ting were right! Anyone possessed by that lunatic Venom is never normal—they’re all insane!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop wasting your effort. I won’t bond with you. Holding me won’t help. And you’re already this strong—why do you even need me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to know—do I have a bad reputation among your kind? Why? If there’s a misunderstanding, I can clear it up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, my partnership with Venom was fine. We bickered sometimes, but it wasn’t serious. I’m a good person—I never bullied him. You have to believe me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a loud noise erupted in the lab. The slime let out a sharp cry and shot to the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>",1649,"2026-06-20T16:39:20.726Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8ecffcc953cc5eca8b19711a9226782b0d6b756fee9f4bb990597e02c0823b94","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-204","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-202",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-cover.jpg"]
