章節 125: Chapter 87 Mud and Rotten People (Part 2)_1

What kind of person is Stark, really?

You'd know from his introduction in comics, where he is described as the "Super Genius cursed by knowledge." Inside his mind, he holds the 8th cosmic infinity gemstone, "The Curse of Knowledge", which allows him to master all knowledge about black holes within a day. It's safe to say that Einstein would be heartbroken and Mendeleev would shed tears upon meeting him.

This explains why the upcoming events will completely surpass Venom's expectation.

Firstly, Stark is extremely inquisitive, spending six whole days investigating Venom's background.

Upon learning that Venom is an alien lifeform, Stark's sudden excitement causes Venom to stumble over.

From the birthplace of Venom, the symbiote's homeworld, to how he drifted to Earth, and how he took over one host after another, Stark meticulously interrogates Venom.

Out of respect for his long-term meal ticket, Venom tries his best to answer Stark's questions, but the Super Genius can stretch out countless questions from a single one, just like a curious child asking "why" for everything.

Where is the symbiote's homeworld? Who is your creator? What kind of alien is he? In what form do they exist there? How far away is it from Earth? Can humans reach it within their lifetime? Will you invade Earth? Is your creator an intelligent being with separate individuality or is it a planetary collective consciousness? Why didn't your siblings leave your mother? Why did you run away alone? Did you anger your creator? What's the difference between him and the God in human religious stories?

For every question, Stark would probe and dig deeper from various angles. Some questions Venom can answer well, but some are too abstract and creative to comprehend.

Going by symbiote age, Venom is still a child. Even as a child prodigy among symbiotes, he struggles to understand the eccentric and imaginative questions from this super genius.

Finally, Stark's curiosity about Venom's origins abated slightly, and then for the first time, Venom discovered how complex human emotions could be.

Stark's sensitive heart and overflowing emotions make Venom feel as if he is living in a huge maze every day. Every time Stark's mood changes, the entire maze is reset, hurling Venom back to the starting point just as he is about to find the way out.

Also, there's no denying that Stark is cursed by knowledge, as Venom, a symbiote, can't keep up with the speed of Stark's mind.

Whenever Stark starts to think, Venom can only crouch in a corner and get hit by countless symbols he cannot comprehend, simply put, he's drowned in an ocean of knowledge.

What's terrifying is while Stark is busy resetting the maze, he also floods the sea of knowledge like a dam burst. The constant swift switch between these two states overwhelms Venom, one moment he's kicked by the maze and the next, he's somersaulting in the sea.

All sentient creatures have requirements for their living environment, and symbiotes are no exception.

If living in a regular human body is like staying in a matchbox—though slightly cramped and stuffy, it remains rather peaceful—then living in Stark's body feels like residing in a dangerous planet filled with numerous storms and lightning strikes. It may be spacious but life here is far too exciting, Venom hardly gets a moment to rest.

Originally, the symbiotic relationship with the host allows the symbiote to constantly feel their physical and emotional changes. It is a unique natural gift of their race and the foundation of their survival. But now, this gift has brought Venom great trouble. Living symbiotically with someone like Stark, Venom has no choice but to endure a life filled with as many dangers as an expedition in the primal jungle.

Stark is like an unsolvable mystery. His outward expression is just one in ten thousand parts of him. His inner self, overflowing with endless philosophical thoughts and wisdom, could engulf any outsider attempting to peek into his heart, including this symbiote.

The first emotion that Venom learned from Stark was exhaustion. It wasn't Stark who was tired, but being Stark's symbiote was indeed very tiring.

What's worse, Stark was under enormous stress at the time; he needed to divert his attention by finding something to do. An intelligent alien life form, especially one with special abilities dwelling within him, couldn't be a better test subject.

Stark treated Venom as his second personality, capable of sharing his brain and understanding him completely.

This was simply phenomenal!

Previously, whenever Stark wanted to share his brilliant thoughts, he couldn't find any suitable candidates. Peter was too young, didn't want to burden him with too much. Shiller, despite being quite shocked, could only change a light bulb. He used to share his inventions with Obadiah, but now that he's gone, Stark poured all his overflowing enthusiasm for sharing onto Venom.

When Stark stayed awake for three whole days lecturing Venom about high-energy physics in his head, Venom learned his second emotion, fear.

章節 126: Chapter 87 Mud and Rotten People (Part 2)_2

Is this something a symbiont should be learning???

This genius scientist desperately wants to teach all his knowledge to another version of himself, so he can truly have a discussion about various invention ideas with himself. He would then have a real soulmate, someone who can fully understand and empathize with him.

Stark, in a state of utter emptiness and in dire need of venting, neglects the limit of a symbiont's learning, not even considering how you can't possibly expect a child to learn the essence of human knowledge overnight, even if it's through brainwave communication, right???

Venom is near the point of collapse, like a student thrust into an advanced math class without any understanding. The third emotion he learned was regret, intense regret.

When Venom doesn't understand, Stark scolds him. When Venom feels aggrieved, Stark doesn't comprehend why he should feel that way.

What's so hard about this? You can see my memory, right? Isn't that like an open-book exam? You can't even do open-book exams? What kind of good-for-nothing are you?

For a highly capable symbiont, physics and mathematics aren't challenging. What's difficult is keeping up with Stark's whimsical ideas and invention thought processes that border closely on philosophy and metaphysics. Ninety-nine percent effort is not the hard part, the hard part is that one percent of inspiration.

Even Venom, as a symbiont, finds it difficult to fully understand Stark's erratic thinking. He's been doubting for a long time, is Stark really human? How can a human be this complicated and difficult to decipher?

If you were to just consider Stark's high IQ that would be one thing, but his personality is also incredibly awful.

Stark steps out of the hospital and walks along the road. Venom, grateful that he's not cooped up in the lab with Stark, keeps whispering in his mind, "Let's eat a human head. Just one. Bite off their brain, it must be delicious…"

"Did anyone ever tell you? A normal human's brain is like unaudited zombie meat, it's not safe for you to eat this kind of food."

A puzzled emotion comes from Venom.

"You need healthier eating habits, like mine. Don't you know? The brains of ordinary people hardly ever work in their entire life, kind of like rotten fish meat without any preservation. "

"Taste! Taste is very important! Understand? I will never allow you to devour that zombie meat and contaminate the brain of a genius like me."

"Fine, I know you aliens have never eaten anything good, that's why you are interested in the brains of ordinary humans at all, a lump of flesh composed of water and protein, it contains not a single brilliant thought that could change the world like me, eating this kind of stuff, do you symbiotic species make a living by garbage picking?"

Venom has issued a series of extremely intense and furious brain waves yet Stark was oblivious to and continued to express his disdainful remarks, "Is this the taste of aliens? Or are human brains considered pretty good in the cosmos? How foolish are other aliens? Are humans the only creatures in the cosmos with brains?"

"I really can't believe it. A race that considers the brains of ordinary humans as a delicacy, how scarce must your resources be? Would you like some cheese balls? It's an Earth product, and you could bring some back for your impoverished brethren. I will foot the bill."

"We are not poor!" Venom angrily replied.

"But you're behaving just like a country bumpkin just set foot in the city, ogling at everything like they're treasures. You were interested in the chocolate balls at the convenience store just now, weren't you? Please, can you really eat that many snacks that only cost few dollars? Don't even think about it, I won't stoop so low as to shop at these lowbrow convenience stores..."

"What? Eat the employees in that office building? What're you thinking about? Those who can't even earn the rent for a cheap apartment in a month, you really want to eat them too?? Those types of people wouldn't even pass the first-round interview at Stark Group!"

"The man who was just sitting in the Porsche? No way! His hair is blonde, I bet he dyed his hair with those gaudy dyes, that's disgusting, it's a chemical aroma, I'm going around him…."

"Turn your head back, don't behave like a clueless fool." Stark said in his mind: "Don't embarrass me, Stark, the genius scientist, the richest person in the world, not a clueless kid who can't help but gawk when in public."

After saying that, he continued to complain in his mind: "Isn't there anyone in your race that is as tall, affluent, and handsome as me? I think they would be a better compliment to me. Or maybe you should pick the big guy from the high school football team next door, you know, those jumpy white guys, they will be very willing to buy those cheap chocolates for you…"

"I need to eat right now! I want chocolate! And a human head! Now! Immediately! Or I'll drag you into a wall!!!" Venom demanded.

"Not right now, wait a second. Jarvis? Jarvis? Are you there? Help me order some specialty chocolates from that manufacturer in Italy..."

"Yes, let them use the best cocoa beans...No! Don't use those mass production lines! Those are dirty! I'll buy a production line just for me..."

"How long will it take? Three weeks? That's quite fast."

"Tell them to hurry...Oh, it needs to be completed using a fully mechanized production process, don't let those dirty hands touch the food I'm going to eat..."

"Packaging? No, no! Their gold foil packaging is just too tacky, get me a designer from Italy and design a better-looking one. It should also have Stark Group's logo on it. Use golden and red, real gold for the golden parts, don't fool people with those dyes..."

"I'll starve to death in three weeks." Venom said.

"How could you be so weak? Are all you symbionts dunces full of nothing but thoughts of eating? "

"Stop! Let go of me! You can't go to those convenience stores! Shit! Lemon-scented air freshener! Get out now, I hate this smell!!"

Stark, looking as though he's caught between a rock and a hard place, body swaying, walks straight into the glass door of the convenience store, his hands gripped tightly around the edges of the door, yelling, "I'm not going into this hellhole!!! It's full of trash from the industrial production lines!! Just one glance pollutes my brain!!!"

"Let me in!! Let me eat!!"

"No, I'm not going in!!"

"Go in!! Venom roared back.

"No!!!" Stark screamed louder.

"Go in!!" Venom was on the verge of collapse.

"No!!!" Stark also turned hysterical.

In the end, Stark remained outside the glass door with resolute will, or rather his incredible stubbornness, he triumphed in the battle.

Venom was totally exhausted. The fourth thing he learned from Stark was never to underestimate a troublesome person.
