"Alright, alright, stop looking at me like that! It's creepy!" Lin Feng rubbed his nose.
"Trust me, Tony, you'll come to accept this thing!"
"Who would accept an alien parasite inside their own body!" Tony collapsed, clutching his head.
"And it clearly has its own intelligence! I'm not schizophrenic!"
Lin Feng shook his head. "Calm down first, I'll tell you what kind of existence this symbiote is!"
"If you still want to get rid of it later, I'll help you!"
Hearing this, Tony's eyes lit up, and he confirmed, "Can I really get rid of it?"
Seeing Lin Feng nod, Tony finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good that it could be gotten rid of; he didn't want to be gnawed down to a skeleton by an alien parasite tomorrow.
He took a bottle of whiskey, added some ice, and sat on the sofa. He needed to calm down.
"Tell me, Lin, what is this alien parasite!"
Lin Feng also took a glass of whiskey and poured himself a drink. "To be precise, it's a super symbiote."
"I just told you, this thing, it's a race from outer space."
"It can only survive on Blue Star by parasitizing a host. Once it leaves the host, it will die soon."
He paused, then continued, "As for what it can do, I think you've already experienced it."
Lin Feng pointed to the reactor on the table.
Tony subconsciously touched his chest and nodded.
Indeed, although this thing looked scary, its ability to heal wounds was something that no medical equipment could match at present.
It seemed to be able to expel parts that did not belong to the body.
"Its healing ability is beyond your imagination, Tony."
"Let me give you an example. Even if your head were cut off, as long as you didn't die immediately, it could restore you to your original state!"
Lin Feng went on to say.
"It can also strengthen your power, and greatly strengthen it."
"Although the Mark 85 can also give you superhuman combat ability."
"But the symbiote is more useful than that! At least the symbiote doesn't have to worry about battery life."
"And the combat ability of a merged symbiote is far superior to your Mark 85."
"And, haven't you noticed that your brain has become more effective?"
Lin Feng tapped his head with his finger, signaling to Tony.
This reminded Tony, and he nodded in agreement. "Indeed..."
After calming down a bit, he felt an unprecedented clarity in his mind.
Some formulas on the Mark 85 that had not been fully parsed were arranged and combined almost instantly in his brain.
If this thing didn't have its own intelligence, it would be a perfect existence!
Tony felt that having an intelligent being parasitize his body made him feel inherently uncomfortable and difficult to control.
He probably wouldn't be able to accept this thing for a while.
"Now let's talk about its drawbacks," Lin Feng smacked his lips, having finished talking about the advantages and now needing to discuss the negative effects brought about by the symbiote.
"First, you might have to eat more chocolate in the future because it likes phenylethylamine."
Tony said this was fine. It was just eating more chocolate, which tasted better than chlorophyll juice...
"Second, it has self-awareness. After all, it's also a life form. But I think compared to the benefits it brings, this is not difficult to accept, is it?"
This made Tony conflicted. He also felt that Lin Feng's words were correct, but he still had some trouble accepting it.
"There's one last drawback, which is that the symbiote will amplify the host's desires and negative emotions, turning the host into an extremely irritable and bloodthirsty pervert."
"What?" Tony was instantly stunned and wanted to pull out the symbiote immediately.
"Don't rush, I'm not finished!" Lin Feng quickly waved his hand.
"I've already removed this drawback for you, so you can rest assured that it will no longer affect your emotions!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I'm sure. Do you feel like your spirit has been affected?"
Hearing this, Tony carefully felt it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were no negative emotions.
After thinking for a moment, Tony suddenly thought of something and asked Lin Feng, "If you can remove this, can you remove its self-awareness?"
As soon as he said this, the symbiote was the first to be unwilling. It immediately popped its head out of Tony's shoulder, baring its fangs and opening its mouth wide.
"Hey! Little mustache! Do you want me to bite off your head?!"
Tony ignored him and spread his hands towards Lin Feng, as if to say, see, having self-awareness isn't such a good thing...
Lin Feng chuckled, stood up, patted Tony's shoulder, and gave him a meaningful smile.
"You have to give something to gain something, don't you? I can't remove its self-awareness!"
"I think you should learn to get along with it."
"After saying so much, why don't you experience the characteristics of the symbiote yourself before making a decision?"
Seeing Tony lost in thought, Lin Feng patted the symbiote's little head.
"Come on, little guy, show your host your abilities!"
"Okay!" The symbiote received the order, quickly retreated into Tony's body, and black fluid like nanoparticles emerged again.
Frankly speaking, symbiotes can be compatible with mechanical bodies.
Just like Lin Feng remembered, there was a symbiote called Scorn, which could fuse with any machinery.
Of course, according to the settings, Scorn was a symbiote hatched by an electronic symbiote machine.
And the Venom descendant that Lin Feng gave to Tony was clearly more powerful.
"Are you ready!" Lin Feng asked.
At this moment, the symbiote had wrapped Tony completely, leaving only his head.
"Ready for what?" Tony looked at the changes on his body in confusion. It was the familiar Mark 85 exterior, but in black and gold armor.
Lin Feng nodded and signaled to the symbiote.
"Get ready to be tested!"
*Crack.*
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the sound of glass shattering was heard.
The armor transformed by the symbiote took Tony through the window and flew into the sky thousands of meters high.
As if knowing that its performance would determine its fate, the symbiote worked diligently to showcase its abilities.
First, it took Tony around the Earth at an extremely fast speed.
Its speed was many times faster than Tony's Mark 85.
Then, it quickly rushed out of the atmosphere and took a selfie in front of a satellite.
Finally, it went to the ocean to test various powerful weapons.
The symbiote even performed a feat of limb regeneration and self-healing.
After experiencing all this, Tony felt that the symbiote's abilities were extremely powerful.
Its flexibility, defense, and combat capabilities all surpassed the Mark 85 by a wide margin.
It was only an hour later that the symbiote brought Tony back to the villa.
