So this is the serum that the little Green Goblin was after in the movie?
It's not that great, a 9% success rate, but for someone on the verge of death, it could certainly be called a lifesaver.
"Dr. Connors, do you remember the kind of serum I injected into my father last time?"
Harry operated the fabricator.
"I think it can enhance the effects of the self-healing factor you mentioned, thereby overcoming the side effects."
"Exactly!" Connors nodded. "I think so too, but whether it truly has miraculous effects needs to be tested."
Soon, the fabricator spat out the active enhancer.
"The cost is 2 million dollars per dose, and it's now in your Hands, Dr."
"2 million dollars?"
"Yes, 2 million, just the cost."
Connors knew this serum would be precious, but he didn't expect it to be this expensive.
But in reality, Harry obtained the technology from the system, so the most important cost of drug R&D was 0 for him.
As for why it was priced at 2 million, Harry estimated it based on the explosion caused by the Hand as R&D costs; a cost of 2 million was quite reasonable.
Extending life, there are plenty of people who would buy it.
The experiment used a total of 10 vials of serum, and Harry and Connors finally determined the dosage and ratio of the final version of the enhancer.
Connors intended to continue experimenting, but Harry had already received a system prompt.
[Ultimate Green Goblin Enhancer (Special Supply)]
[Significantly improves the user's strength, reflexes, speed, memory, and intelligence, and has a transformative effect on the Osborn Family's retrovirus.]
[Harry Osborn Special Supply, the salvation of the Osborn Family.]
[Detected that the host has obtained harmless human enhancer technology]
[Gene mapping technology unlocked: performing individual genome localization through gene sequencing, opening a new era of customized medicine and therapies]
[Mission chain unlocked: Bloodline]
[Why are some families born powerful? Why are some families born with a curse?]
[Mission content: Treat 5,000 patients with different genetic diseases and record the causes of the disease: 0 / 5000. Collect 50 types of human genes with positive traits: 2 / 50]
"Dr. Connors, this is what we need."
Looking at the two vials shimmering like emeralds before him, Harry called a halt to Dr. Connors' operations.
"But isn't the dosage of the enhancer a bit too high? It's much higher than the safe value we estimated, and crystallization has even occurred."
Facing Connors' doubts, Harry shook his head and voluntarily walked onto the test bench.
"Let's inject it now, and call my father over as well; this serum might also be effective for his illness."
The system had already confirmed that this serum was harmless—although the description suggested it was likely only suitable for the Osborn Family, Harry wouldn't be doing himself justice if he hesitated any longer.
Norman arrived at the laboratory 30 minutes later, by which time Harry was already standing in the enhancement chamber.
He was the one who knew the Green Goblin Enhancer best, and upon hearing this news, his first reaction was to stop Harry from conducting the experiment directly, but it was already too late.
"Connors! Why didn't you stop him!"
Norman's expression was terrifying, especially with the green keratin emerging from his skin again, making him look like he was about to turn into some kind of monster.
"Cough, cough, that serum is very dangerous! You can't let Harry just inject the serum like that!"
"It was Harry's decision! I tried to persuade him, but he said the serum would absolutely have no problems. Trust him, Norman!"
Connors didn't look like he was lying, so Norman had to turn his gaze to Harry, finally letting go of Connors and walking to the vital signs monitor.
The data on the vital signs monitor was all normal, but the sound of Harry's heartbeat was terrifyingly loud.
It sounded like beating war drums.
Thump-thump—thump-thump!
The human enhancement chamber supplied the enhancer, gas, and nutrients to Harry simultaneously, and the process lasted for several hours.
When the gas dissipated, Harry's body appeared naked in their view.
Every muscle on his body seemed to have been meticulously sculpted, and the vitality contained within was immensely surging.
"Harry, can you hear me?" Connors turned on the intercom.
"I can, Dr." Harry's voice was the same as usual, with no changes.
This enhancement finished faster than the spartan program; perhaps because he had already been enhanced once, Harry felt no pain at all, and instead felt a sense of relief.
"Very good, now for the cognitive test. Do you see this dot?"
A red dot appeared in front of Harry.
"Very good, now follow the dot with your gaze. Very good, normal."
"What is this?" A crocodile appeared on the screen inside the enhancement chamber.
"A crocodile, a green crocodile."
Connors conducted the cognitive test and psychological inquiry in turn, and Harry was very cooperative.
Harry and Connors both understood this was necessary; if any resistance or negative emotions like irritability appeared during the inquiry, it would be considered abnormal.
"All projects completed; the enhancer did not cause any cognitive damage to the subject. Now starting the physical examination."
The most important cognitive check was over, and Norman waved his Hand excitedly—another epoch-making technology!
And this technology was a breakthrough based on his research!
"Wait a minute." Connors' puzzled tone made Norman's heart skip a beat.
"The sampler cannot reach the specified depth. Your skin... it seems there is something hidden underneath?"
"Yes, I can feel it too." Harry looked at the sampler. "I can control it; it should be fine now."
"What is that?" Norman leaned in.
The sampler quickly pierced into Harry's body, obtaining comprehensive data.
"This is the layer that prevented the sampler from going deeper. The amino acid sequence of this substance is 99% similar to the protein transcribed by the retrovirus!"
"Incredible! The protein produced by the retrovirus has denatured and turned into a solid keratin layer. The enhancer changed the virus's RNA, turning this protein into a harmless keratin layer, hidden right under your skin!"
Harry now understood that the retrovirus was indeed an Osborn Family genetic disease, and this setting existed in this World as well, just not as obviously as in The Amazing Spider-Man movies.
And the spartan program's modifications didn't clear the virus, but now it was no longer a problem.
Compared to skin, this layer of keratin could even be controlled by him, as easily as he controlled his breathing.
"I see. Harry, you're simply a genius! How did you know that this concentration of the enhancer would achieve exactly this effect?"
Connors was truly convinced, but it was hard for Harry to say that he was cheating.
"Inspiration, you know, it's hard to explain."
Harry clenched his fist, and this layer of keratin could even break through the subcutaneous tissue to the skin's surface.
And compared to the scaly texture in the original work, this stuff looked more like emeralds, shimmering under the light.
He even suspected that if the Osborn Group hyped this up as a new type of gemstone, there would be people in the market willing to pay for it.
So the Osborn Family really had a family heirloom.
Harry touched these keratin layers, and now he felt like he could even go toe-to-toe with Spider-Man.
