Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#639 - Old tree sprouts new leaves

With a "whoosh", Professor Connors, looking excited, climbed out of the glass tank amidst the crowd's observation and assistance.

At this moment, he didn't have the heavy feeling of being soaked in water for too long; on the contrary, he appeared very agile, his body healthy and upright, his skin smooth and taut, and even the wrinkles on his face had disappeared without a trace.

At a glance, he looked at least a dozen years younger!

Compared to the previously middle-aged professor who was focused on research, Professor Connors now seemed to have returned to his prime, like a young man in his mid-twenties.

This change was unbelievable not only to the professor himself, who was like he had ADHD, constantly jumping around, stretching his arms and legs, unable to stop.

The others around, Ross, Nick Fury, Stark, etc., who had already entered middle age or were about to step into the next stage of life, immediately stepped forward, surrounding Professor Connors and constantly asking questions.

They raised questions about personal issues and firsthand experiences, their expressions and gestures appearing somewhat eager.

On the other hand, Liang Yue's team members, Sam and Peter, were also shocked by the professor's change, but they were simply amazed by the technology itself and didn't have too many personal needs.

After the shock, they began to do their respective jobs, bringing Professor Connors hot coffee and some cookies.

… …

"So ~ in general, besides the newly grown muscles being a bit weak and needing to be retrained, you don't have any discomfort?"

"Yes, I feel better than ever now. I feel like I've returned to my twenties. I want to eat meat, I want to exercise, my whole body is itching, urging me to move!"

"You just grew an arm, so naturally you'll feel very hungry, but besides that, are there any other discomforts, such as mentally?"

"I know what you want to ask, Director Fury, but this time, there's absolutely none. My mind is very normal. My current state is just a little excited.

Also, what I mean by being very hungry isn't the kind of urgent need to replenish nutrients after excessive physical exertion, but ~ uh, similar to a ~ yearning mentality.

It's as if I could become stronger, but my current state doesn't meet my psychological expectations, yes ~ that's the situation!"

"Wow ~! So, the nutrients needed for you to grow this arm were compensated by that magical potion, and you think you still have ~ um, the possibility of entering a third growth spurt?"

"That's about the situation! This feeling is wonderful, but ~ if you really want to understand it, I still suggest you experience it yourself, Mr. Stark."

"Oh ~ of course! Although I've always been very confident in my physical condition, but ~ you know, I'm already in my forties, and compared to myself a dozen years ago, there is indeed some ~ difference.

Um ~ actually, it's not just me, these two old men beside me must be thinking the same thing!"

Saying that, Stark ignored the glares of the little old man Ross and the one-eyed Nick Fury, turned his head to look at Liang Yue, and continued.

"Hey ~ my dear little buddy, how about arranging a repair package for me too? I also want to experience the feeling of entering a third growth spurt."

"No problem, when would you like to do it?"

Liang Yue asked with a smile upon hearing this.

"Of course, the sooner the better, preferably starting now, after all, it only takes half an hour at most, right?"

… …

So, with Stark taking the lead, the two old men present, plus Aunt Liu, Betty, and Natasha, all joined this free body repair and maintenance experience.

Men and women separated, each in a room ~

In his words, he seemed to want to develop in this direction and tried to get some inspiration and technical support from him.

But unfortunately, someone wasn't interested in this… …

At this time, Liang Yue really wanted to refute Professor Connors's views and routes on the spot, but due to the presence of Peter and Gwen, these two readily available Spider-Men, he couldn't speak too bluntly.

Simply put, Liang Yue couldn't stand these cross-species gene bodies.

Like spiders, lizards, starfish, sharks, crocodiles, apes… …

The species level itself was too low. In his opinion, even if he really wanted to do cross-species fusion, the other half he fused with would at least have to be of the level of dragons, phoenixes, kirin, vermilion birds, black tortoises, baize, and zhuyan.

On today's Earth, there are basically no species that Liang Yue can look up to. Maybe if water bears could be magnified and genes extracted, that would be a bit interesting.

But it's only a bit interesting. He would never inject that kind of inexplicable potion into his body.

It was precisely based on this kind of idea that the intelligent light brain, Xiao Wu, which had a deep binding with him, naturally wouldn't put too much effort in the direction he wasn't interested in.

Of course, even so, after a long period of deduction and experimentation, Xiao Wu's technical accumulation in cross-species gene fusion was still much more advanced than the current Professor Connors.

During the conversation, Liang Yue only commented on his ideas in a perfunctory manner, causing this senior scholar on Earth who was at the forefront of the field to be stunned and filled with realization and shock.

Soon, half an hour passed quickly ~

After a period of washing and changing clothes, Ross, Nick Fury, Aunt Liu, and others reappeared in front of everyone. Compared to before, they were now completely new.

The entire person's form, state, and appearance were completely different.

Among them, the biggest change was naturally Ross. After all, this old guy was the oldest, in his fifties. Although, because he was a soldier who insisted on training all year round, he still appeared tall and upright.

But inevitably, there were signs of aging on his face and body.

At this moment, although he couldn't return to his twenties like Professor Connors, he was still a lot younger, as if time had flowed backward, returning to his prime.

Smooth skin, resolute face, agile body, plus that head of golden hair, standing there, he was definitely a template for a abstinent middle-aged cool guy.

In addition, Nick Fury was the same. Although he didn't look old because of his originally dark skin and bald head, he still couldn't be equated with young people.

At this moment, not to mention the dark and smooth skin that could reflect light, even the eye that was scratched blind by a cat had now been cured.

On top of his originally bald, black, oily head, a short and dense head of black curly hair had now grown… …
