Before long, Peter arrived at the headquarters of Parker Tech.
This was actually a property of the Osborn family. To support Peter and his own son, Norman had grandly gifted this entire office building to Peter and Harry.
Herman and Connors were currently conducting their respective research here.
The former was currently in charge of optimizing the mobile phone system.
It had to be said that Herman was indeed an overlooked genius.
After joining Parker Tech, with ample time and money and no longer forced by life's necessities, Herman began to frantically absorb all kinds of knowledge related to mobile phones like a dry sponge.
In less than a week, he taught himself knowledge in various fields, including programming, software engineering, and system architecture.
Looking at Herman, who had two large dark circles under his eyes, Peter was worried that this guy might drop dead from overwork.
So he quickly used the horse talisman to give him a deep physical conditioning treatment, which moved Herman immensely and made him respect Peter, his boss, even more.
Where else could he find such a good boss if he left Peter!
After advising Herman to take care of his health, Peter took the elevator to the top floor of the company.
This place was completely allocated to Connors for the development of the "healing serum."
Peter and Norman's plan was for Connors to continue researching the healing serum.
Once the serum was officially released, they would gradually dilute its potency into specifications like 1%, 5%, 20%, and 30%.
The first two would mainly address various daily illnesses and cardiovascular diseases in the elderly.
The latter two would handle complex cases and difficult conditions like limb regeneration.
As long as the universal healing serum could be developed, Parker Tech and Oscorp could become the number one commercial giants, surpassing Stark Industries in no time.
He had a brief chat with Connors about the development of the "healing serum."
After confirming that the experiments were progressing steadily and the results of the animal testing were becoming increasingly stable, Peter stopped bothering Connors.
Instead, he began researching the Electro gene by himself.
After placing the pieces of Electro's flesh into a specific petri dish to prevent the tissue from becoming inactive, Peter took out a small portion of Electro's flesh and blood tissue to begin basic research.
Since he had helped Connors complete the Decay Rate Algorithm and the basic development of the lizard serum, Peter handled this research quite skillfully.
Before long, his research yielded some results.
What was certain was that the part of the Electro gene related to absorbing and releasing electrical energy could be copied and transferred.
There was a similar plot in the original comics.
The villain Jackal created a clone of Electro's girlfriend, Francine.
Because this clone already possessed the shared genes of Francine and Electro, she accidentally absorbed all the electrical energy from the suit while Jackal was trying to help Electro regain his powers.
This caused Electro to die on the spot, and the clone Francine became the second-generation Electro.
So, theoretically, Peter only needed to extract the fragments capable of absorbing electricity from Electro's gene and transplant them into his own gene to succeed.
Under normal circumstances, since the lizard serum transplant had already been completed, performing a second transplant would be suicidal.
The conflict generated during the fusion of a third gene would immediately cause his genetic structure to collapse.
He would either become a deformed monster or die on the spot.
But!
With the protection of the horse talisman, Peter was undoubtedly different.
Genetic collapse? Mutational deformity?
Go tell that to my noble horse!
After spending the entire night, Peter successfully extracted the relevant gene fragments from Electro's body tissue using the Gene Extractor developed by Dr. Connors himself.
After some fancy maneuvers, Peter successfully turned it into an Electro Serum.
No animal testing was needed, nor were any special safety measures.
Peter directly stabbed this tube of brand-new serum into his neck.
The process was so simple and crude that it made Dr. Connors' brow twitch wildly as he watched from the side.
One could only say that being able to use magic allowed one to be willful... As the Electro Serum entered his body, Peter immediately felt a violent change.
However, because he already possessed a Superman-like constitution, this level of pain wasn't enough to make him lose his composure like when he was injected with the lizard serum before.
During the process, Peter noticed lizard-like features clearly appearing on his body, with blinding flashes of electricity visibly entwining them, turning the originally dark green scales into a brilliant blue.
Just as Dr. Connors was looking at Peter in shock and uncertainty, wondering if he should run away immediately.
The horse talisman inside Peter's body took effect, enveloping him in a hazy white light, and the changes on his body began to recede at an even faster rate.
About a minute later, the white light on Peter disappeared, and he completely returned to his normal appearance.
However, at the same time the white light vanished, a stream of information surged into Peter's mind.
It was the horse talisman telling him that his genetic modification had reached its limit.
The tiger talisman was necessary to help balance the conflicting forces within his body to break through this limit of gene editing.
Without the tiger talisman's assistance, even if Peter continued to inject new genes, the horse talisman could only help him retain at most two different genes.
For example, if Peter transplanted gene fragments from a genetically modified cat on top of his current foundation.
Then the horse talisman could only help him keep electricity + cat, electricity + lizard, or lizard + cat.
The abilities of the genes excluded by Peter would then be lost, and he would never be able to use those related abilities again.
"It's reasonable. Being able to maintain two different abilities is already the result of the horse talisman's forced cheating. I really shouldn't ask for more."
"I just don't know when I'll be able to get the tiger talisman... If only there were a 'Talisman Selector' option; I'd be willing to pay double or triple the ten-thousand-point price!"
After complaining like this in his heart, Peter shook his head slightly and decided not to think about these distant matters for the time being.
"I should figure out the ability to absorb and release electricity first, and develop Lightning Release: Rasengan and Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"
Thinking this, Peter stood up and opened the window on the top floor.
With a whistle of strong wind, the flying skateboard immediately hovered in front of Peter.
As Peter pressed his hand against the Electronic Pulse Cannon of the flying skateboard, before long, Peter's body was quickly entwined with blinding flashes of electricity.
"Alright, I'm fully charged now!"
