The Legendary Mechanic in Marvel Universe

Chapter 90 Otto's Secret

When Peter first heard Leo's proposal, he really didn't want to leave the lab he had been in for a long time.

Moreover, he is still subconsciously disgusted with the blind lawyer in the office next to the Eyre Building.

Therefore, Peter rejected Leo's suggestion at first, and even thought How can Mr. Erwin be so deliberately embarrassing!

But when he thought about it carefully, and then tried to look at this issue from Leo's standpoint, he suddenly found that Leo was really great!

Peter felt that if Leo really wanted to embarrass others, he could actually ignore the life and death of him and Otto.

Leo can definitely independently develop a successful mechanical prosthesis, and then sell it directly for money, without paying him and Otto's salaries and dividends.

Such an analysis, Peter firmly believes that Leo is definitely not the kind of person who forgets his own interests.

In an instant, Leo's personality became a little taller in Peter's heart.

But how did Peter know that if there was no absolute motivation for Peter's task, Leo would not be able to tinker with any mechanical prosthesis himself.

There are many ways to make money in his mind, and even he can make a lot of money by selling miniature high-compression batteries alone, so there is no need to make money from mechanical prostheses.

Leo did his best to contribute both money and effort, didn't he just want to get both people and money in a natural way? !

Peter thought he had figured out the whole truth of the matter, and he volunteered to be tricked by Leo.

Mr. Erwin, I just thought about it clearly, and I am willing to support your proposal to work in Erwin Technology.

Peter turned to look at Otto Road again,

I think, with such a good opportunity, Dr. Octavius, you will definitely be willing to go to El Tech with me.

Doctor, we can continue our research work together again. And this time, it must be much faster than the previous research, and it will be much smoother.

In Peter's cognition, Otto has always had the same goal as him, both wanting to successfully manufacture mechanical prostheses to benefit disabled people around the world.

Now that there is hope for the completion of their goals, Otto has no reason to refuse to work at El Tech.

However, to Peter's surprise, Otto actually refused.

Peter, go to El Tech by yourself, your goal is there. Also, you will have a much better future there than with me.

I've been at NYU for decades, and the campus areas and labs feel like home to me, and there are some old friends here who are like family.

I'm getting old and don't want to leave here.

Now I have another $2.5 million from selling the 'miniature nuclear reactor' technology, and I don't need to continue investing in the failed 'Nerve Arm' project.

This money is enough for the rest of my life to live comfortably, even in luxury.

In the future, I just want to teach and teach quietly at NYU and spend the rest of my life in peace.

So, Peter, don't worry about me.

Otto smiled kindly, his eyes full of longing for the future.

Dr. Octavius, I am so envious of your future life.

In fact, I have always dreamed of this kind of life. Wake up every morning and have a meal with your loved ones. In the evening, have a drink with friends and chat, isn't life beautiful?

Hey, but life is often involuntary. For example, I have lost even a relative and an old friend from the past!

The outsider Bucky next to him didn't understand the truth of the matter at all. At this time, he was a little longing for and jealous of Otto's better life in the future.

But Leo won't believe that Otto will have a good future in the future. There is only one reason, that is, Dr. Octopus will definitely blacken the law!

Not only Leo, but even Peter didn't believe Otto's words.

Dr. Octavius, there is no way you would say such a thing, this is not you.

Peter shook his head again and again, staring at Otto with doubtful eyes with seriousness and scrutiny,

Do you remember half a year ago, when the 'nerve arm' was successfully activated for the first time, you drank happily until you got very drunk, and finally said what you said after getting drunk?

You may not remember it, but I remember it clearly.

Yes, you really like NYU's open campus, but you don't like the lab at all.

When you were drunk, you said that when your project is successful and you apply for funding, you must change to a larger and brighter laboratory.

Moreover, you also said at the time that there are many teachers at New York University who are chasing fame and fortune, which makes you very unhappy.

Peter got more and more excited because he was worried about Otto, stood up and said loudly:

Home? Family? Doctor, what are you talking about?!

Dr. Octavius, what's the matter with you? Why are you making up a reason for refusing to go to El Tech? ? What are you hiding from me? ? ?

There was a sudden silence in the laboratory, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

The outsider Bucky finally said something, but at this time he realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly lowered his head and played poker quietly.

Although Leo could guess that Otto was not telling the truth, he did not expect that Otto would be exposed on the spot by Peter.

In fact, he also wanted to know why Otto refused to work at El Technology and why he lied, so Leo didn't come forward to settle things, but chose to sit quietly and eat melons.

After a long time, Otto sighed deeply and said:

Peter, I don't want to go to El Tech, I don't want to leave the lab, just because I want to stay here and continue to research 'intracranial nerve signal' sensing technology.

Otto paused and wanted to raise his hands to rub his face, but he tried several times without success, so he put it down helplessly.

Otto sighed again and continued:

Peter, I'm sorry, I lied to you. The original intention of my research on the 'neural arm' was not as high-sounding as I said to you.

In fact, the ultimate purpose of my research on the nerve arm is for myself.

Peter didn't understand what Otto said, and asked suspiciously:

Dr. Octavius, what do you mean? You have good hands and feet, what do you want a 'nerve arm' for?!

Humph! Well...

Otto raised his palms upwards, stared at his hands and said,

They're not good, or they're dying, haven't you noticed? I couldn't even rub my face just now.

Peter was even more puzzled, and he asked:

Doctor, what happened? Why am I getting more and more confused?

I have a problem with my body, the doctor said it's called 'degenerative neurological syndrome' and he said there is no cure for it.

And one of the main reasons for my illness is that I was exposed to slight nuclear radiation when I solved the radiation problem of the miniature nuclear reactor. Another major reason may be that when I was doing research, I was exposed to toxic substances for too long.

It was because I was too careless when I was young and did things too recklessly.

Otto shook his head and said helplessly,

But the strange thing is that this symptom only affects the muscles, my mind is still working normally, but I can't control my body freely, and it will get worse in the future.

Therefore, I invented this set of 'intracranial nerve signal sensing technology', hoping that after my muscles fail, I can still rely on it to live independently.

I'm sorry Peter, I lied to you.

You go, you don't have to worry about me anymore, start your own new life, you don't need to be implicated by me in your future, then I will feel guilty!
