Chapter 87: Mud and Rotten People (2)

Who is Stark?

Just look at his introduction in the comics and you'll know that he's called "Super genius cursed by knowledge." In the comics, he has the eighth Infinity Gem, "Curse of Knowledge," in his brain. He can fully master all knowledge about black holes in just one day, which can be said to make Einstein sad and Mendeleev shed tears. (XD)

This led to a change that completely exceeded Venom's expectations.

First of all, Stark is a person who likes to dig deep. He spent a full six days checking Venom's household registration.

When he found out that Venom was an extraterrestrial creature, Stark's suddenly excited mood made Venom stumble.(XD)

From the Birthplace of Venom, to how he drifted to Earth, and how he possessed host after host, Stark questioned Venom in detail.

Out of respect for his long-term meal ticket, Venom tried to answer Stark's questions as much as possible, but a super genius is always like a million whys. For every question he could come up with countless follow-up questions.

Where is the symbiote's homeworld? Who created you? What kind of extraterrestrial creature is he? In what form does it exist there? Is it far from Earth? Can humans reach it within their lifetime? Will you come to invade Earth? Is your creator an independent intelligent life form, or a common consciousness of a planet? Why don't your siblings leave your mother? Why did you run away alone? Did you anger your creator? What's the difference between it and God in human religious stories?

Stark would pursue each of these questions from various angles. While Venom could answer some questions, others were too abstract and creative for him to answer.

According to the age of the symbiote, it is still a child. Even if it is a genius child among the symbiotes, it cannot understand the strange and creative questions of the super genius.

Finally, Stark's curiosity about its origin decreased a bit. Then, Venom discovered for the first time that human emotions could be so complex.

Stark's overly sensitive heart and emotional brain made Venom feel like he was living in a huge maze every day. Every time Stark's mood changed, the entire maze was completely reset, and Venom, who had just found the exit, was kicked back to the starting point.

[ShaneFreak: I am loving it...]

Furthermore, Stark was truly a cursed brain of knowledge. As a symbiote, Venom couldn't keep up with the speed of Stark's thoughts.

Whenever Stark began to contemplate, Venom could only cower in a corner, feeling countless symbols crashing onto him that he couldn't comprehend. In other words, he was submerged in an ocean of knowledge.

What was even more terrifying was that Stark would frantically reset his maze while releasing the floodgates of knowledge like a torrential downpour. Venom would bounce back and forth between these two states, unable to keep up with the speed, and would be kicked in the butt by the maze one moment and knocked down by the sea water the next.

Any sentient being with emotions would have certain requirements for their living environment, and symbiotes were no exception.

If living in an ordinary human body was like being in a matchbox, albeit a bit cramped and stuffy, at least it was relatively quiet. But living in Stark's body was like living on a dangerous planet full of countless storms and lightning. Although there was enough space, life here was just too exciting, and Venom couldn't even rest for a moment.

Originally, symbiotes and hosts were in sync, able to constantly sense the changes in their bodies and emotions. It was their race's unique talent and the foundation upon which they relied for survival. However, now, this talent brought tremendous trouble to Venom. In sync with someone like Stark, Venom had to endure a life full of constant and unpredictable dangers, like a primitive jungle adventure.

Stark was like an unsolvable puzzle, and his external appearance was only one-thousandth of him. His inner self, full of infinite philosophical ideas and wisdom, was enough to drown any outsider who attempted to peek into his heart, including this symbiote.

The first emotion that Venom learned from Stark was exhaustion. This was not because Stark was tired, but because being a symbiote for Stark was truly exhausting.

To make matters worse, Stark was currently in a low point of immense pressure. He couldn't relieve this pressure, so he had to find something to do to distract himself. At this moment, an intelligent creature that he could communicate with happened to appear in his body, and it was even an alien with special talents. This was like being gifted a pillow while feeling sleepy - was there any better test subject than this?

Tony Stark treated Venom as his alter ego, able to share the same brain power and fully understand him.

"Turn your head back and don't look like a naive fool." Stark thought in his mind, "Don't embarrass me, the genius scientist and world's richest person, Stark. I'm not a silly boy who looks around while walking down the street."

[ShaneFreak: Poor Venom...]

After speaking, he complained in his mind again, "Is there no one in your race who is as handsome and rich as I am? I think they would be more suitable for me. Otherwise, go find a big guy in the next-door high school football team. You know, those white people who are jumpy and willing to buy you cheap chocolate..."

Venom said, "I want to eat now! I want to eat chocolate! And I want to eat a head! Right away! Or else I will drag you and hit the wall!!!"

"Not now, wait a moment, J.A.R.V.I.S? J.A.R.V.I.S? Are you there? Help me order some special chocolate from the original manufacturer in Italy..."

"Yes, let them use the best cocoa beans... No, don't use those mass production lines! They're too dirty! I'll buy a whole production line separately..."

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

"Let them hurry up... Oh, and use a fully mechanized production process, don't let anyone's dirty hands touch what I want to eat..."

"Packaging? No, no, no! Their gold foil packaging is too tacky. From Italy, hire a designer to design something better with the Stark Industries logo on it. Use gold and red colors, and use real gold for the gold parts, don't use dyes to fool people..."

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

"Why are you so weak? Are all symbiotes idiots who only know how to eat?"

"No! Let me go! Don't go into that convenience store! It smells like lemon-scented air freshener! Get out of there, I hate that smell!!"

Stark stumbled around like he was fighting himself, and slammed into the glass door of the convenience store, grabbing the edge of the glass door and shouting, "I won't go into this damn place!!!! It's full of junk from the industrial production line! Even a glance pollutes my brain!!!"

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

"No, I won't go in!!"

"Go in!!" Venom also yelled.

"I won't go in!!!" Stark yelled even louder.

"Go in!!" Venom was on the verge of breaking down.

"No!!!" Stark was also hysterical.

In the end, Stark sat outside the glass door. With his unwavering determination, or rather extreme melodramatic mentality, he won the battle.

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