Marvel: Randomly load a protagonist template

Chapter 73: The Opportunity to Unlock the New Template

The underground training room of League of Legends International.

Hawking removed his armor and placed the terrified Eddie on a chair.

"Eddie, tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Here's the thing... Boss?"

Eddie, who had just recovered somewhat, was preparing to tell his idol, whom he admired and was grateful to the most, about the whole story when he suddenly saw Hawking's true face after removing his armor, and he was stunned on the spot.

He never expected that the famous superhero who had saved his life, the God of War, Armor Man, and Golden Flash, was actually his boss's boss, Stephen Hawking, who had always controlled the news content of the Daily Bugle.

"Don't be surprised, it's me. Tell me what happened."

Hawking spoke up to remind him.

If Eddie were just an ordinary newspaper reporter, he naturally wouldn't be qualified to know his true identity.

But now that Eddie is parasitized by Venom, he will most likely be recruited into his company in the future, which is definitely a different story.

"Yes, boss, a few days ago I..."

After regaining his senses, Eddie immediately told Hawking everything that had happened at the Life Foundation.

Hawking's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"So that's the company."

When he watched the Venom movie, he learned that a company had discovered symbiotes in outer space and brought them to Earth for research, hoping to solve various incurable diseases by combining symbiotes with humans.

To this end, they secretly lured all the homeless people who were ignored on the street into the laboratory for cruel human experiments, but all of them ended in failure.

Because symbionts cannot perfectly combine with any organism, if the conditions are not met, the parasitized organism will not be able to survive for more than a few hours.

I was mainly focused on the storyline when watching the movie, so I didn't really pay attention to the company's name.

However, what truly pleased him was not that getting rid of the inhumane Life Foundation would earn him some justice points.

However, the current plot development of this event is very similar to that of the Venom solo movie.

If this is true, it means that there is another symbiote called "Riot" still alive on Earth, and that Riot plans to summon countless similar symbiotes to invade Earth.

What does this mean?

This means that if he can stop the riots, although it won't be considered helping Earth fight off countless symbiotes, it will definitely save many lives on Earth in the future, and he will surely gain a lot of justice points.

He felt that with this batch of justice points, plus the justice points he had painstakingly accumulated before, he might be able to unlock a new protagonist template in one fell swoop.

"Let's check with the original entity first."

Coming to his senses, Hawking immediately smiled and instructed Eddie:

"Get that alien inside you, Venom, out for a moment."

Perhaps these are just his wishful thinking, and there is no such thing as a symbiote army invading Earth. For example, Venom in the third Spider-Man movie came to Earth alone.

The development of many things in this universe is very chaotic, and we cannot rely solely on our own imagination.

Therefore, it would be more appropriate to call out the Venom itself and ask it.

"That boss doesn't want to come out, saying you always yell at him."

A moment later, Eddie looked up at Hawking with some embarrassment.

Venom had been trying to come out all along, but Hawking had always managed to blast it back with his amplified voice using the Amplification Charm. Now, Venom is so traumatized by the sound that it doesn't dare to come out anymore.

Hawking paused for a moment upon hearing this, then spoke in a very gentle and benevolent voice:

"Mr. Venom, that was a special situation. While we humans may have some scoundrels like the one you just ate, we also have many good people, like me. What I value most is friendship and peace."

So as long as you don't attack randomly after you come out, I promise I won't yell at you.

He recalled that Venom seemed to be a rather unsuccessful being on its own planet; compared to the ferocity of its kind, Venom was much more cowardly.

Moreover, he seems to have a bit of a chuunibyou (delusional) streak, a bit of naivety, and a bit of a goofball.

Of course, if it's the Spider-Man series, then it's purely evil.

"Let me make this clear first, it's not that I'm afraid of you, it's just that we symbiotes are very sensitive to sound and fire, and if it's too strong, it will kill us."

Upon hearing Hawking's words, a head made of black slime grew out of Eddie's shoulder.

It seems she leans more towards the former, having already exposed her two fatal flaws as soon as she opened her mouth; that's something else.

Upon hearing this, Hawking's smile became even more amiable.

"I know, I know. Mr. Venom doesn't look like the kind of person who is cowardly. He must be a very famous person among your people. He has an imposing appearance and is extremely kind at heart. He is loved by everyone."

"I wonder what Venom's purpose is in suddenly visiting our Earth?"

"You're absolutely right, Eddie, I like this guy."

Actually, not all symbiotes are as kind as me. This time we came to Earth.

Upon hearing Hawking praise him so highly, Venom's vanity immediately exploded, and he began to launch into a long-winded introduction of his race and their purpose in coming to Earth.

It turns out that the symbiote race lives on a planet that is countless light-years away from Earth. After leaving their own planet, they need to parasitize other organisms to exert their power.

As for why they came to Earth, it's because they needed food, food like Earth humans.

So it wasn't the Life Foundation's exploration spaceship that found them, but rather this symbiotic team that went out to find food for the planet that found Earth, this great granary.

"But don't worry, I like you two very much. When my people arrive, I will protect you and won't let you become food."

Finally, Venom proudly assured everyone.

Eddie was stunned when he heard Venom's words. He hadn't expected that there wasn't just one terrifying alien creature, but an entire planet. If it really attacked Earth, wouldn't humanity be doomed?

He then immediately turned to look at Hawking, only to find that Hawking's face showed no worry, but rather a look of joy.

"Great, it seems to be the same setting as in the Venom movie. That makes things easier."

In Hawking's view, even if symbiotes were to invade Earth, it wouldn't be so terrifying. Not only is Earth's depths vast, harboring countless powerful beings, but even humanity alone, with preparation, could fight back.

Symbiotes' weaknesses to sound and fire make them too easy targets for technology.

"Mr. Venom, have you ever thought that if your people invade this place, our beautiful Earth will be turned into ruins, and you won't actually gain anything?"

But if you give up sending messages about Earth to your people, then you can become a superhero that humans admire, just like me, and be worshipped by many, many people.

They'll even give you a catchy nickname, like Venom—the Deadly Guardian!

Stephen Hawking employed a series of deceptive tactics to understand Venom's personality.
