The talkative raven in the world of American comics

Chapter 47: Lizard Tail or Spider Legs?

Time slips away unnoticed.

Their feelings for each other deepened as they spent time together.

The girl finished sketching the last line on the paper with a pencil, then nudged the boy next to her with her shoulder.

"So how does this look?"

A crow suddenly hopped out, poked its head in to look, and then said.

"Bullshit!"

"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak! And now I finally understand why some people hate jinxes!"

Hearing the conversation between the man and the bird, the boy smiled and took the Spider-Man drawing from the girl's hand.

That was a different kind of Spider-Man.

Or rather... yourself wearing a different set of clothes?

"I think it's pretty good," Peter said.

Perhaps because the Spider Suit had been damaged too many times, his first-generation Spider Suit finally gave out during a robbery, indicating that it really couldn't hold up anymore.

Fortunately, his uniform was completely torn up after he had dealt with the criminals; otherwise, it would have been a huge embarrassment if it had fallen apart while he was chasing the criminals.

He wasn't prepared to show the world the three hairs on his chest.

"Not bad? That's it?" Gwen raised an eyebrow.

"Ugh, you woman are so annoying! I told you you drew dog poop and you didn't believe me. Look at Peter's reaction, he obviously doesn't like it!" Crow continued to mutter.

The sudden appearance of dirty water made Peter's eyes widen, and he quickly denied it: "No way!"

Gwen took a deep breath, fixed her gaze on Oz, and said with a forced smile, "Honorable Raven Messenger, what good advice do you have?"

As he spoke, Peter could clearly hear Gwen clenching her fists and gritting her teeth.

Oz jumped onto Gwen's shoulder. "Listen carefully, I said you draw."

Gwen shrugged unhappily, turned to a new page, and began drawing a new spider costume.

"First, the color scheme uses black and white, with the upper body in white and the lower body in black, intersecting at the chest area, which is just right to draw the shape of spider legs."

Gwen did as instructed, and soon the character appeared on the paper.

It actually looks quite plausible.

"Draw the eyes bigger," Oz pointed.

The pen tip traced a line on the paper. Gwen turned to look at Oz, who was resting his chin on his wingtip, looking like a wise old man stroking his beard in a movie.

"Add a hood to your head."

"hood?"

"Enough talk, Uncle O'Brien will come up with the inspiration, you just draw!"

"whispering sound!"

Oz's various detailed requests were then fulfilled through Gwen's writing.

Gwen blew on the paper and then spread it out so that she could see it more clearly.

Don't tell.

That's actually quite true.

The white bodysuit with black stripes has sharp, ink-splashed lines, and the hood is decorated with a spiderweb pattern...

only......

Gwen became increasingly confused as she looked at the screen, and so did Peter beside her.

A moment later, they both exclaimed, "This is practically a female Spider-Man costume!!"

"Yes, it's for women, and I think it suits you quite well," Oz said.

Peter remained silent.

Gwen chuckled and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Gwen rolled her eyes, turned the page of the draft paper, and prepared to draw a new one, but as soon as she turned the page, she couldn't help but turn back and look at it again.

It actually looks quite good, and like Oz said, I feel like this outfit really suits me.

I must say, I'm really good at drawing.

The girl thought to herself.

"Alright... I need to go to the Osborn Group to improve the serum."

Peter glanced at his watch and decided it was about time he went to see Dr. Connors.

"So fast?"

Gwen, who had just finished taking a selfie, put down her phone and couldn't help but say, "Peter, aren't you putting yourself on a little too tight?"

Peter smiled and shook his head: "If the serum can cure him faster, perhaps Mr. Osborne will have a new chance to live."

Gwen then looked at Oz and glared at him, as if to say, "If you dare to tell that hellish joke again, I'll strangle you!"

Oz blinked innocently.

"Let's go together," Gwen said.

"Together?" Peter asked, puzzled.

"Don't forget, I do have a position in Osborne, even if I'm just an intern."

"Yes, but mine is a genuine position."

"Are you trying to show off to me?!"

"No!"

......

......

......

"hiss--"

The slightly balding man looked at the portrait in front of him and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"What?!" Connors asked upon hearing his old friend's voice.

Otto hissed again.

"If you keep doing this, get out of my lab! I shouldn't have asked you for my opinion!" Connors said angrily.

Otto coughed and then pointed to the projected character model.

He said, "You know Parker got bitten by a spider, right?"

Connors nodded.

It was this nod that made Otto somewhat agitated.

"So what's the meaning of stuffing a lizard tail down the back of his uniform!?"

"This is just an idea of ​​mine, an idea, you understand?!"

Otto said "Oh," and then asked, "Why do you have this idea?"

"When facing the enemy, strike them by surprise!"

"A surprise attack? Good idea. Then why didn't you just make him four spider legs?"

Connors remained silent.

Otto then took matters into his own hands and began to work on the character model. In no time, a brand new Spider-Man model appeared.

He said, "I think this is good."

Whether in terms of appearance or the four mechanical spider legs on the back of the uniform that match his personality, Otto's design is clearly several levels higher than his own.

but......

"I still think the tail is pretty good."

"He's a spider, not a lizard!"

dong dong——

A knock came at the lab door, and the two of them looked over at the same time, only to find the person they were discussing standing right in the doorway.

Beside him was a pretty girl and a crow eating fries.

Connors quickly waved away the image model that Otto had painstakingly drawn with one hand, then ignored his old friend's glare and greeted Peter and the others.

Good afternoon, you two... and Oz.

Oz nodded in satisfaction before putting the fries in his mouth.

Seeing that they were about to get busy with improving the serum again, Otto decided not to stay any longer and chose to leave.

As he passed Peter, he patted the boy on the shoulder and asked:

"Do you think spider legs or lizard tails are better?"

Peter was dumbfounded: "What?"

"Just tell me which one is better, that's enough."

"Uh... a spider?"

"Hey, Otto!" Connors shouted from the side.

Otto then whistled with satisfaction and left the laboratory.

Gwen watched the scientist leave with suspicion, and couldn't help but ask Dr. Connors a question.

"What exactly are you talking about, Doctor?"

"It's nothing."

The idea of ​​making a new Spider-Man suit for Peter came about out of the blue, and since it's still being revised, there's no need to tell anyone.

Although he genuinely thought the lizard's tail was quite nice.

"Alright guys, I don't know why Gwen's here, but since we're already here, let's not just sit around doing nothing..."

Then Connors began to assign tasks, with Peter and Connors leading the work on improving the serum, and Gwen Stacy playing the role of a good laboratory assistant.

Among them, Comrade Gwen Stacy clearly stated that Oz, this dead crow, does nothing at all?

Comrade Oz replied in this way.

I'm just a crow, what more do you want?!
