American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

“Why are you helping me?” Little Harry's tone was complex. In recent times, he had witnessed too many ugly faces and too much betrayal and darkness. This had cast a huge shadow over his heart, and he had even become distant from Peter, who he had been close to since childhood.

Because he didn't know how to face him. Lately, he felt as if a huge chasm had suddenly appeared between them. He really wanted to tell someone about his inner vulnerability and grievances at this moment, but he had no one to tell but himself. Nor would he tell anyone.

The appearance of Big Harry undoubtedly shocked him, but it also inexplicably added a few feelings of joy and reliance to his heart. It was as if he was no longer a lone traveler in the midst of a storm. A closest and most unfamiliar partner was accompanying him on his journey.

He didn't expect any answer from this sentence. He was just speaking from the heart, lowering his inner guard and tense spirit in front of Big Harry.

“Why help you?” Big Harry was stunned when he heard this. Seeing the complex expression on Little Harry's face, and thinking about the ups and downs of the Osborne Enterprise reported in the news, he understood the other party's mood at this moment.

“Mutual help, I guess.”

Big Harry didn't say anything like "You are me." Because such words were meaningless to Big Harry. In his universe, he had seen too many people who were indifferent to their parallel universe counterparts, and even fought each other to the death over some things.

I am you, so I choose to help you. Big Harry didn't believe such words from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, it cannot be denied that some parallel universe counterparts in the multiverse get along very well and can become partners who talk about everything and even move forward side by side. But Big Harry didn't want to deceive.

“Help? What can I do to help you? Help you deal with that enemy?” Little Harry was a little dazed when he heard Big Harry's answer.

“You at least gave me a breather and helped me save my life.” Big Harry looked at his bandaged wound, although this sentence exaggerated Little Harry's contribution. “Also, if I want to go home, I need your help. This is inherently a win-win situation for both parties.

You help me find the way home and help me deal with the enemy who may appear at any time, and I will help you get out of your current predicament and make Osborne the greatest giant enterprise in the world. Bar none!”

Big Harry's promise made Little Harry's face show excitement. For him, the pressure of reality had almost overwhelmed him. If Big Harry hadn't appeared, in a situation where he was at a loss and trapped everywhere, what he could do under anger and pressure was probably to rely on the machines Norman had left him to recruit some desperadoes to carry out some revenge and create chaos and destruction.

After all, his willpower was not very strong, strictly speaking.

But the appearance and promise of Big Harry obviously pulled him back from the cliff and gave him another path.

“Can't you go back by yourself?” Little Harry was first happy, and then looked at Big Harry in astonishment. Isn't it the same way you came as you go?

“Traveling between universes is not difficult. The difficulty lies in finding your way home in the vast number of universes. I need to know the coordinates of both sides, and I also need various devices and energy. This is no small project.

As for how I came here? I was brought into this universe by that attacker when I failed to use the Time Scepter. The only thing I did was use the scepter to give myself as much time as possible. In other words, my timeline is no longer on a straight line with the other party. The time period I am in this world should be much earlier than the time he went to attack the Time Management Bureau,” Big Harry explained.

“Can't you use this Time Scepter to go back?” Little Harry saw the scepter in Big Harry's hand.

“It's almost out of energy, and it was affected by some kind of magical energy during the attack. The probability of it malfunctioning has greatly increased, and its instability has increased. I was lucky this time to come to this survivable universe. If something unexpected happens and I go to a universe where humans can hardly survive, or a universe that is about to end, then I will be desperate. I have to think of other ways.” Big Harry also looked at the Time Scepter he was holding in his hand. In fact, he had a Time Stone in his hand when he was in the Time Management Bureau, but after leaving the universe where it was located, these stones were useless except for collecting them as materials.

“What do I need to do to help you?” Little Harry couldn't deeply understand Big Harry's words, but he asked directly and simply.

“Remember what I said when you asked me why I wanted to help you?” Big Harry smiled and asked back.

“Of course, you said mutual help!” Little Harry gave the answer without even thinking.

“Yes, a safe return home is a big project. This must have a strong help. Only if I help you stabilize the situation first and develop Osborne's power can you help me in return.” Big Harry said patiently: “So, I will help you first, and then you will help me.”

Little Harry nodded heavily.

“I need to know more intelligence information about this world. Which giants are worth paying attention to? Which stars are in the field of scientific research? Has supernatural power appeared, or is it hidden, or does it not exist, etc.

Although this universe has you, and many of your experiences match mine when I was young, we all understand that there are still differences, even huge differences, right?

The universe is the same. I must understand enough intelligence and information to decide what kind of path to choose next. More importantly, we don't know the identity of the attacker in this world, and we don't know whether our actions will attract the other party's peeping and attacks.

Although his power at this time may not be as strong as imagined, this is just the best guess. Maybe the situation is worse. Especially since the other party also has a certain amount of time power. If he discovers abnormalities in another time period, he may come directly to our door.

No, or rather, as long as we develop, we will inevitably attract his attention, and conflicts will inevitably occur. We must have a certain amount of self-protection power in the shortest possible time,” Big Harry explained to Little Harry.

“Will that attacker definitely come to our door?” Little Harry's face became serious when he heard this. Although he didn't know exactly what kind of organization the Time Management Bureau was, he could hear from Big Harry's words that this was a very powerful force organization, but such a powerful force organization was successfully attacked by one person and retreated completely. No matter how the other party did it, it was clear that the other party's threat could not be ignored.

Osborne is indeed a giant in this world, but Little Harry doesn't think that if the other party comes to his door, Osborne's power can protect him.

“Do you know what major I studied in another world?” Big Harry took the initiative to say the answer without waiting for Little Harry to ask: “Energy!”

“This is a major whose extended branches can make everyone's scalp tingle. I have only studied a negligible part of it. But one thing I am better than most people is that because of family and business reasons, I obtained a Haiberon apprenticeship qualification. I came into contact with the most advanced knowledge and the best training in Haiberon, so when the Time Management Bureau recruited people, I became one of the best with my study results, and occupied a good position with my personal knowledge and the double power of the family.

Listen, Harry, the knowledge I am going to help you build and teach is a powerful new energy. Once it appears, it will inevitably be peeped at and snatched by all parties. You must have the power to protect it. It is a double-edged sword.”

“Like nuclear energy?” Little Harry tentatively gave a metaphor.

“Drop that impression, these two are not on the same track. It's best not to use your experience to apply it. Although I only master some of the first-generation technology, it's enough.” Big Harry shook his head.

In his world with a strong research atmosphere, all kinds of smart people were exhausted. Almost every moment, there were various brain collisions and technology outputs in the data dimension.

Big Harry's brain is not stupid. Although he cannot be compared with Stark's top brains, and is even slightly inferior to his good friend Peter Parker in terms of IQ, he can still rank in the first line in IQ evaluation.

It's a pity that there is no data dimension here, and many technologies cannot be taken out or realized for a while. But this does not prevent Big Harry from standing on the shoulders of giants and looking high.

The Time Management Bureau's self-help manual clearly states that as long as the seeds of new energy can be sown and grown, and a beacon is established, the Time Management Bureau can be captured, contacted, and responded to.

What Big Harry is doing now is to spread and expose the coordinates of this universe first.

“I will collect and organize the information you want as soon as possible. What do I need to do next?” Little Harry frowned. He couldn't quite understand Big Harry's words, but this didn't prevent him from asking the other party how to solve Osborne's current predicament.

After all, if he can't stabilize Osborne's morale and stock price, then let alone anything else, he can only watch Osborne be taken over, cut up, divided up by all parties, and completely changed.

“Other information can come slowly. Osborne's current predicament lies in the lack of a decent product. I know that Osborne has invested a lot of money and resources in researching a powerful biological agent that can change the human body. But after nearly twenty years of investment, the effect is not satisfactory, right?” Big Harry said, summarizing and extracting the information he saw in the news, and then asked Little Harry for confirmation.

“That's right. This drug is Osborne's future flagship product. But it has not been successfully developed after years of high investment. So far, it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, and there are still several major difficulties that have not been overcome. And those people will not allow or accept this semi-finished drug. Osborne once wanted to give up the research and development of this drug, but the sunk costs are too high, and it is only one step away from success...”

Little Harry shook his head with a gloomy expression. This drug has long become a heavy burden for Osborne Industries, but under the strong promotion of Norman Osborne, this drug almost drained Osborne's blood. Although there are various reasons for Osborne's downfall to its current situation, this drug is undoubtedly one of the main inducements.

Recently, the board of directors is impatiently and strongly demanding to cut off the research and development of this drug with huge investment, and try to make up for some losses.

“I can help you improve this drug. If that doesn't work, I can first come up with a mature drug that is attractive enough and has a huge market.” Big Harry said softly.

“New drug?” Little Harry hesitated. It's not that he doesn't believe in Big Harry's research ability, nor that he doesn't believe that the other party does have the strength to improve and successfully develop that semi-finished drug, but for him now, time is too short. He doesn't know how long it will take Big Harry to successfully improve and manufacture it. Instead of betting on uncertainty, it's better to try the mature drug that Big Harry said.

“Lizard drug. In my universe, it is a genetic drug developed by a certain doctor under Osborne Industries. Its greatest effect is to enhance the human body's physique and achieve limb regeneration.” Big Harry replied.

“What are the side effects? Are there no side effects?” Little Harry suppressed the surprise in his heart, and his brain quickly turned, asking for more and more important information. Most drugs have side effects, just how much and how deep.

“Don't worry, what I'm taking out is the perfect version after continuous improvement. Although it's not the best, it can be considered the best solution for the commercial version. It can achieve no sequelae and will not affect the human body and people's thinking. The commercial perfect version of the drug effect can adjust the dosage according to the degree of limb defect, and the drug effect will be hidden inside the human body afterwards.” Big Harry said, simply: “I will give you the formula first, and then you will find the materials according to my requirements. I will use the underground laboratory under the old house to manufacture a few doses first and hand them over to you for processing.

I think with these drugs, I shouldn't need to teach you how to use these drugs to achieve any purpose, right? As long as you are not stupid, under the premise of protecting yourself, Osborne's contacts and allies will be re-established and stand firmly by your side.

As long as you can take this step and successfully launch the drug, Osborne's predicament will be greatly alleviated. Then we will have plenty of time. I have more drugs and technologies to provide you here.

Whether it is other versions of the lizard drug, or the more powerful Extremis drug that has the same effect, they are enough to establish an unparalleled prestige for you in Osborne. That's when we can show our talents.”
