Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 104 Peter Pharmaceuticals
What happened next seemed to be a natural progression.

After Hulk's time was over, Connors finally met Dr. Banner.

Dr. Banner was also interested in Connors' research and expressed his willingness to join in.

With Banner's participation, the progress of the entire project advanced by leaps and bounds. Neither Peter nor Connors had expected that as a cutting-edge theoretical physicist, he would have such profound research in the field of biology.

Finally, in less than a month, a perfect repair potion was produced without any side effects.

Connors looked at his new arm, feeling as if in a dream.

I didn’t expect it…it only took one month.

Although Dr. Banner was involved, the theoretical foundation of the entire project was already very solid. Dr. Banner was just a nearly omnipotent genius scientist who was able to find and fill in the gaps from a high-level perspective.

Even without Dr. Banner, Connors is confident that he can perfect the repair potion within half a year with a dozen ordinary scientific assistants.

For such a large project, half a year is just a blink of an eye...Let alone scientific research projects, even making a movie often takes two to three years.

And can Oscorp really not even wait for half a year?

At least a month has passed now, and there has been no news of Norman Osborn being critically ill.

"Of course, shouldn't we observe the subsequent changes? See if scales will grow or something like that..." Connors said cautiously.

Banner looked at the various indicators on the computer and shook his head. "No need. The drug in your body has been metabolized within 48 hours. Assuming this is the original version I participated in, you have already recovered from the state of a lizard man."

Banner looked at Connors and said admiringly, "Your original design is really ingenious. The DNA barrier segment just needs a slight change in structure and position."

"That version could actually be called the Lizard Potion. It perfectly transformed into another species, and then perfectly transformed back to its original form without any subsequent effects. This is quite incredible. In a sense, it is already a very mature product."

Connors felt a little embarrassed. Only after working with Banner, a top scientist, did he realize how big the gap between them was.

In the niche areas that they are most proud of, they can only barely stay ahead of their competitors. Once they touch on other aspects, they are almost completely led by their competitors.

However, to be on the safe side, Connors still felt that he should wait another 48 hours to see if his newly grown arm would wither or show any rejection reaction.

Then we have to find a few disabled volunteers before we can use it on those children with confidence.

Peter watched stupidly from the side, thinking that he had nothing to do and that he was just a happy assistant and handyman.

Although all these studies are conducted in another world, being able to participate in them is the biggest gain for him, a young man who is still in school.

With this experience in the future, he will have the confidence to apply for the research department of Stark Enterprises even if it is not written in his resume.

But he inexplicably discovered that his master Du Mu, as well as Connors and Dr. Banner, suddenly began to whisper to each other secretly, looking at him from time to time, and then nodding with satisfaction.

Peter was confused, and then returned to the real world with Dr. Connors.

Now Connors and Peter really seem to be going to work. They go into the other world to do scientific research in the morning and return to their rental house on Earth at night.

Although there was no salary, meals were provided. Compared with the salary, Connors cared more about his project and almost neglected food and sleep.

Peter's situation is not so good. He hasn't had a part-time job for a month and his financial situation has declined a bit. He has started to consider returning to his old job as a delivery man.

However, when he and Connors came back today, they saw Attorney Matt waiting for them with a thick stack of documents.

Du Mu was also nearby, looking at some documents and slowly sipping a carbonated drink from a wine gourd.

Now he has learned the art of freezing, and there is ice cola inside.

"Peter, come and sign this."

As soon as Du Mu saw Peter, he gave the order casually.

Peter took the document handed to him by Lawyer Matt with some surprise, glanced at it casually, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

"Peter Pharmaceuticals, LLC?!"

Peter raised his head, looked at Du Mu, and said in disbelief: "Master, what is this?"

Du Mu asked curiously, "Don't you like this company name? Then you can come up with another one."

Peter scratched his hair, making it look like a bird's nest, and said in confusion, "No, it's not about the name. It says here that I want to be the CEO? CEO? I don't even know what this position is for! How can a company be established in my name all of a sudden?"

Du Mu shrugged: "Dr. Banner is wanted, I don't have a legal identity in this world, and Dr. Connors is mainly responsible for research. After thinking about it, I can only give you the job of being the boss and selling products."

Peter held the contract and was speechless for a long time: "But...but, I don't understand anything?"

"If you don't understand, go hire a professional. Matt will help you with this. He will also serve as the legal advisor for Peter Pharmaceuticals. If you have any questions, please consult him. I don't know much about the relevant laws in your country, so don't come to me."

Du Mu took another sip of ice cola and said leisurely.

Seeing his master looking carefree and then reading the words on the contract, Peter felt overwhelmed.

How did he, a small assistant and errand boy, become the CEO of a company?

"The only advice I can give you is to go to your school and ask classmates you trust for help. After all, you are a top student, and there are many talented people among your classmates," Du Mu said casually.

At this time, Aunt Mei smiled and said, "Just like the girl stuck behind his desk?"

Peter blushed immediately and stammered, "It's a group photo! It's a group photo! Who knows who you are talking about."

Du Mu turned to Matt and said, "I'll trouble you to take care of Peter during this period of time."

Matt shook his head, his eyes bright behind his sunglasses: "It means a lot to me to be able to help a company sell medicine to treat disabled people all over the world."

Connors was not interested in the company's affairs, but when he heard that the drugs could be sold all over the world, a smile suddenly appeared on his tired face.

He stretched and yawned, then patted Peter's shoulder with his novice hand and said, "Although our cost is not low, the good thing is that it works once and benefits you for life. Don't raise the price too high so that ordinary people can't afford it."

"No, is that what you have decided?"

Peter was a little overwhelmed. He had never been exposed to such things before and was just a student who had just reached adulthood. Aren't these adults trusting his abilities a little too much?
Du Mu suddenly said, "Peter, think about it. If you become a boss, you will have free time in the future. You can work whenever you want and be late whenever you want. How great is that?"

Peter was about to say that he was not such a lazy person, but suddenly realized what Du Mu was saying.

It seems that the identity of a company boss does seem to be quite suitable for being a superhero?

But I still don’t understand anything and I must be very confused. Who should I ask for help?
Peter couldn't help but imagine a beautiful blonde figure in his mind because of Aunt May's words.

Well... I'm going to be my own boss, so I have to find an assistant.

----

The next day, Matt put a sticker with Peter's name on his wrist and went to the martial arts gym through Peter's bedroom door.

At this time, Peter had already gone to school. Of course, Peter's boss was no longer looking for credits, but was recruiting an assistant.

This sticker was invented by Banner. He didn't go to the martial arts gym often, so he didn't realize it in the past. After discovering that Connors and Matt had to be teleported through Du Mu every time, he made this thing in two hours. This thing doesn't have much technical content. It's just a blood version of the nicotine patch. Finally, entering and leaving the martial arts gym can be done by just getting the blood key, without Du Mu having to go there himself.

During this time, Connors and Peter were working with Banner on researching repair potions, and Matt was also busy as he was busy with a lawsuit.

That’s right, it’s Oscorp’s lawsuit. They have sued Peter and Connors, alleging that they colluded with others to steal laboratory data.

Even though the Osborne Group had almost no conclusive evidence, their large legal team seemed to be planning to put Peter and Connors in jail.

Matt has been working very hard during this period, debating with the crowd every day, persuading the jurors, and even successfully inducing the Osborne Group to release the video of the original firing of Connors...

As a result, the jury almost unanimously sided with Connors, and the entire Osborne Group was caught up in a storm of public opinion.

This scenario was beyond the Osborne Group's expectations, but their various tricks were almost ineffective. Even if they used energy, it seemed that they were just retreating step by step under the pressure of an invisible giant.

This is the first time that the Osborne Group has encountered such a thorny problem. The most terrifying thing is that everything seems to be going smoothly, and all the secret operations are the same as in the past...but whenever they really start to take action, accidents always occur without exception.

There was even one time when they used the power of a congressman to directly influence the judicial outcome. The congressman almost choked to death while drinking water and had to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Can you believe it?
This is not the ordinary resistance you encounter against an ordinary person or another company, but a more metaphysical, more difficult to guess and indescribable obstacle.

There are even Orientals in the Osborne Group who commented that it seems as if the fortune of the entire Osborne Group is declining and everything is going wrong.

In the end, Connors was praised as a conscientious scientist, and the Osborne Group quietly withdrew its lawsuit, which had made much of a fuss but resulted in little results.

And today, Matt finally had time to come to the martial arts gym.

As soon as he came in, he saw Hulk's unhappy face.

Matt was stunned. It seemed that he had never offended Dr. Banner?
Du Mu saw Matt and smiled, "It's a good thing you're here. You've been through a lot during this period of time. I'll teach you something according to the agreed-upon remuneration."

Matt shook his head. "What compensation? I didn't agree to it. Didn't I tell you before that I would never charge you any legal fees as long as you need it?"

At least in Matt's opinion, just curing his eyes would be enough for him to help others fight the lawsuit for ten years.

After hearing what Du Mu said, Hulk became anxious: "Are you going to take in another disciple?"

Du Mu was stunned and looked at Hulk in confusion.

He had no plans to formally ask Matt to be his apprentice. After all, Matt was a very busy man, and it would be enough for him to come and learn when he had time.

Matt didn't understand the situation and smiled, "Mr. Du Mu, are you still accepting disciples? But I can't afford the apprenticeship fee, so forget it."

Hulk finally calmed down. Du Mu looked at Hulk's performance, was silent for a moment, and said bluntly: "Hulk, do you want to take me as your master?"

Hulk's face lit up immediately, and then he immediately pretended to be serious and said: "I have learned the Four Phase Fist from you, so you are my master, right?"

He counted on his fingers and said, "The eldest disciple is the bat, and the second disciple is the spider? No, I came before the spider, so I am the second disciple, and he is my third disciple. But if you count it this way, Harry is ahead of me, so Harry is my senior brother?"

It turns out that Hulk has been looking unhappy recently. He felt that he was the first one to arrive at the martial arts gym, but Peter took the position of the second disciple instead?
Du Mu touched his forehead helplessly. In this Zhutian Martial Arts School, the order of disciples was meaningless. First come first served was all random. Most of them who were not alone focused their main energy on their own world. Who would come to compete with Hulk for this title?

Even Bruce probably didn't care about the status of the eldest disciple. Anyway, he had never come into contact with other disciples and had never set an example for a eldest disciple.

Seeing how concerned Hulk was, Du Mu didn't think that the status of a disciple was such a precious thing that he couldn't give it to the other party. It's just that he didn't expect Hulk to care about this before.

If you think about it carefully, it is normal. With Hulk's childish nature, in addition to liking to compete, he is also more eager than ordinary people to establish relationships with others. It's just that Hulk never had this opportunity before.

"In that case, let's have some tea." Du Mu said, turning and walking into the house.

When Hulk heard this, he immediately became happy again. The thing that he had been holding back for several days and was too embarrassed to say was revealed so lightly, which made him feel more comfortable.

He was not good at dealing with intense emotions, especially positive emotions. Becoming a disciple was originally a trivial matter, but he dragged it out as if it was something very serious.

However, the door of the Military Academy was too small and Hulk could not get in. Du Mu waved his hand and the tables and chairs inside flew out and were arranged in the martial arts arena.

Matt felt like laughing when he saw the three-meter-tall Hulk, who was respectfully holding a bowl of tea with his fingernails.

But he could also sense Hulk's joy from his expression, and his smile slowly faded away.

Being able to establish a relationship beyond blood ties is indeed of great significance to a person who has no relatives.

When Matt thought of his master, Gun Sou, he could understand the other person's feelings.

After teaching Matt fighting skills and how to use his senses, the old man left quietly. For the young Matt, this was undoubtedly another trauma of being abandoned.

If I could have performed a true apprenticeship ceremony like Hulk did, then... the old man with the stick would not have left so naturally, as if I was just a burden.

"Okay, let's play."

After a simple ceremony of paying homage to Hulk, Du Mu let Hulk go play by himself. He finally got rid of the sour look on his face during this period and went to play happily with those fragile little kids.

Although these little kids are very, very weak, they are not afraid of Hulk. They often climb up and down on him and play many games with him...

Well, except skipping rope, catfishing, sandbag throwing, and all games that require physical and strength participation.

Just as Du Mu was looking at Matt and was about to open his mouth to pass some internal energy to him, he felt Zhao Yuanhai running towards him in a hurry from a few streets away.

Du Mu was slightly stunned, but it would take some time for Zhao Yuanhai to come over, so he said to Matt: "Although you said you don't need any reward, you can't let me go back on my word, right? Come on, stretch out your hand, I'll teach you some tricks."

Matt stretched out his hand curiously, and then he felt a familiar warm current passing into his body.

"Follow me and do these movements to digest the true energy I've given you..."

When Zhao Yuanhai knocked on the door of the martial arts gym, Du Mu had already given Matt a preliminary infusion of true qi.

Matt's physique was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person, and he only received back about ten years of Du Mu's skills. It's not that he couldn't receive more, but that Matt couldn't digest it even if he used the dynamic and static exercises of the Four Phase Fist.

At this time, the opponent's advantage over others was reflected. Du Mu only gave simple teaching, but Matt even learned the static exercises and the ways to mobilize true qi.

He learned much faster than any of Du Mu's previous disciples, including Batman.

Du Mu was slightly stunned, and then he thought that for Matt, during the years of blindness, he had almost always been in a state of "inner vision" and could easily observe the inside of his body.

Matt's super senses not only make his nerves much sharper than those of ordinary people, but for him, the quick acquisition of Qi is like having an extra limb that needs to be actively controlled, and it is also much smoother and easier for him than for ordinary people.

Before Matt had time to be surprised at the special power entering his body, he sensed someone running towards him in a hurry outside the martial arts gym.

He didn't say anything, but just silently practiced his Qi and regulated his breathing. Then in the silence, Zhao Yuanhai knocked on the door.

Du Mu didn't move, and the door opened automatically.

Zhao Yuanhai was already accustomed to this scene. He was no longer surprised that there were Western barbarians in the martial arts hall. He just clasped his fists anxiously and told Du Mu about an important event.

"Master, it's bad! The tax grains handed over by the county were robbed by pirates before entering the north!"

"Not only that, after the incident, the imperial court did not go to suppress the bandits, but instead sent people to Kowloon Bay again to ask us to pay grain again. The county magistrate is almost fighting with the imperial court!"
