The Osborn Group, as expected of a large company, was highly efficient, and the test results were quickly released.

Just as Darian had said.

A patient suffering from cancer, after drinking the Elixir of Life, miraculously recovered normal bodily functions in an extremely short period!

Aside from the remaining cancer cells in his body, he was otherwise similar to a healthy ordinary person; as long as he continued to take this elixir, even cancer would not pose a threat to his life.

Unfortunately, after detailed analysis by the Osborn Group's top research department, they were unable to analyze any of the elixir's components, let alone replicate it.

Upon hearing this conclusion, Norman was both surprised and disappointed.

He immediately turned to Darian, asking eagerly, "Mr. Darian, how much more of this Elixir of Life do you have?"

Darian shook his head, "None left. This is the only bottle I've successfully made so far."

Norman: "???"

Why didn't you say so earlier, you bastard!

Norman's composure instantly crumbled.

If he had known, he definitely would have drunk it himself!

Before Norman could recover from his annoyance, Darian immediately added, "However, with enough materials and time, I can try to make more Elixir of Life."

Actually, Darian still had some Elixir of Life, but he certainly wouldn't just take it out like that, otherwise, how could he continue fishing?

Hearing this, the gloom on Norman's face immediately vanished, replaced by an incredibly eager smile.

He stepped forward and patted Darian's shoulder firmly, "Mr. Darian, you are officially hired. From now on, you are a senior researcher at our Osborn Group."

"I will arrange your laboratory as soon as possible. Feel free to ask for anything you need; the Osborn Group will fully meet your research requirements."

"As for salary and benefits, I can offer you the highest specifications, including a residence and a car worth no less than a million. I guarantee you won't be disappointed, Mr. Darian. How does that sound?"

Darian's expression became serious, and his tone was firm, "I am willing to go through fire and water for the Osborn Group, Mr. Osborn!"

Norman smiled contentedly, "Very good. Later, I will send someone to show you around the Osborn Group. I have only one request, and that is to produce new Elixir of Life as soon as possible."

"No problem, Mr. Osborn."

Darian nodded in agreement.

After a few more polite exchanges, Norman turned and left.

As the big boss of the Osborn Group, he was very busy, unlike a gentleman like Tony, who directly threw all his work to his female assistant, Pepper.

Not long after, the door was pushed open, and a blonde girl in a white lab coat walked in from outside.

"Hello, Mr. Darian, I'm Gwen Stacy, and I'm responsible for familiarizing you with the Osborn Group," Gwen smiled.

"Alright."

Led by Gwen, Darian began to tour the Osborn Building.

First, they came to the Osborn Group's biology department and met its head.

"This is Professor Curt Connors, an outstanding scientist at our Osborn Group," Gwen introduced.

"Hello, nice to meet you."

Professor Connors was gentle and extended his left hand proactively.

Darian noticed he had no right arm and curiously glanced at his information.

NPC: Curt Connors

Codename: Dr. Lizard

Affection: 0

Rating: Marvel Lizard, Spider-Man's archenemy, Peter's mentor

Status: Armless

Another supervillain?

Darian was slightly surprised. He seemed to have encountered quite a few supervillains today.

And each of them had a close relationship with Peter and became Spider-Man's enemies.

Could it be that this unlucky child Peter has some kind of curse on him?

Afterward, Gwen took Darian to visit other departments of the Osborn Group, where he saw various research projects, both developed and under development, each of which could be called black technology.

Darian's eyes were truly opened, and he genuinely witnessed the Osborn Group's strong capital.

He scanned the heads of various departments, all of whom were top experts in their respective fields, as if all the top talents in America were gathered at the Osborn Group.

In contrast, Stark Industries was basically supported by Tony alone.

Thinking about it this way, Tony seemed even more formidable.

While riding the elevator, a bespectacled Black man rushed in hurriedly.

"Sorry! Sorry!"

The bespectacled Black man repeatedly apologized to Darian and Gwen while frantically pressing the elevator button.

Darian saw the man's shiny, almost reflective forehead and thought he was another top talent, subconsciously checking his information.

NPC: Max Dillon

Codename: Electro

Affection: 0

Rating: Power bank, Spider-Man's archenemy, Spider-Man's little fanboy

Darian: "....."

No, have I infiltrated the supervillains' lair?

Why are there supervillains everywhere I go?

The most outrageous thing is that these are all Spider-Man's archenemies.

Darian felt that the Osborn Group could even change its name to the Spider-Man Villain Training Center.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look suspiciously at Gwen beside him.

Could this one also be one of Spider-Man's archenemies?

NPC: Gwen Stacy

Codename: Ghost-Spider

Affection: 0

Rating: Daughter of the New York police chief, also Spider-Man in the parallel Universe Earth-65, Spider-Gwen

Alright, not a Spider-Man archenemy, but another version of Spider-Man.

"The Osborn Group truly is a place where talent abounds!"

Darian couldn't help but exclaim.

Then, he asked, "System, what does Earth-65 mean?"

"That is the server number of the game. Each server corresponds to a randomly generated independent game World, which may contain NPC individuals you are familiar with, but they are completely different existences."

This time, the game system didn't use official jargon to perfunctorily answer Darian, but seriously answered his question.

Darian immediately became interested and asked, "Then can I go to other game servers?"

"Yes, players can unlock access to other servers by continuing to raise their identity authority."

"Awesome!"

Darian couldn't help but get excited.

He found that the content of this game seemed to be far richer than he had imagined.

Now there's a lot to play!

Darian asked, "What's the number of our server?"

Earth-9527

"This number is good."

Not long after, Darian finished touring the Osborn Building.

However, he still failed to discover Norman's secret project in cooperation with the Military.

Needless to say, it must have been hidden by Norman.

Darian was not in a hurry.

Anyway, Nick Fury didn't set a time limit, so he could just slack off at the Osborn Group and continue reading his comic books.
