Inside the factory, Rogue retrieved the phone she'd held to Bai Ye's ear after the conversation ended, then quietly hung up.
Bai Ye, who was in the middle of exercising and couldn't spare his hands, asked, "By the way, how's your absorption ability control coming along?"
Rogue replied, "I've made a lot of progress, but it might still take a few days to control it to the point where I can touch without absorbing."
"Can you control it to absorb only stamina?" Bai Ye asked. The greater the stamina expenditure, the more obvious the improvement. He could have Rogue absorb it first, then use electricity to train his body.
"I'm still experimenting, but I have a good idea now," the girl admitted.
"Alright, come help me train when you have it under control," Bai Ye said, looking at her slightly flushed face but saying nothing more.
Brooklyn, Manhattan. Peter Parker, hanging by a thread of spider silk, slowly descended from a rooftop.
"Okay, Peter Parker, all you have to do is find Dr. Connors' location and report it to Bai Ye, and this whole thing will be perfectly resolved."
Peter Parker muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on Connors' home. But the next moment, he was stunned.
Following Peter Parker's line of sight, a large group of police officers and the U.S. military were rummaging through Connors' house.
"What the…?" Peter Parker was taken aback. Had Connors' secret as the Lizardman been exposed?
Puzzled, Peter Parker removed his Spider-Man suit and changed back into casual clothes. He then walked to Connors' door and gently knocked.
As the door opened, he asked the military police with a look of surprise, "Hello, may I ask what's going on inside? I'm Dr. Connors' student, here to visit him today."
"Your teacher is in trouble. He's already been taken into custody. We're just checking his house for any other evidence of wrongdoing," a police officer replied.
Because this wasn't a secret, the media had already investigated Connors's identity.
"Locked up? Who locked him up?" Peter asked, bewildered.
"Of course, our good friend from the military, Bai Ye, locked him up," the soldier said proudly. After all, Bai Ye knew Ross, and by extension, he knew Bai Ye too.
"Bullshit. According to my inside sources, Bai Ye is clearly the boyfriend of our director's daughter," a police officer said, arms crossed.
"Nonsense. Our superior clearly said he liked Bai Ye very much and planned to set him up with his daughter. Your director can go cool off," the soldier retorted, unconvinced.
Peter Parker watched the military and police bicker, feeling conflicted. How had Bai Ye already defeated the Lizardman without him even doing anything?
As the military and police continued their conversation, one of them casually asked Peter, "By the way, what's your name? If you don't have anything else to do, you can go."
"Yes, officer, my name is Peter Parker." Peter said as he turned to leave, but the next moment, two hands grabbed his shoulders. He turned around to see the two men staring at him strangely. "Could you say your name again?"
"My name is… Peter Parker. Is there a problem?" Peter's expression was a little guilty; he didn't know what was wrong with his name.
The soldier and the police officer looked at each other, then looked at Peter and said in unison, "Peter Parker, is it? You need to come with us. Your teacher really wants to see you."
Peter: ???
For the next while, Bai Ye lived a very leisurely life, with nothing strange to disturb him.
Even Peter, somehow, hadn't seen him for many days, allowing him to devote himself entirely to training.
A day later, after killing more than two thousand mice, Rogue successfully made it so that she could avoid absorption even with physical contact.
Three days later, the equipment previously modified by Kingpin's team was officially completed. Bai Ye officially put into use a High-Frequency Hydraulic Press that could run ten times per second, with a maximum capacity of five thousand tons each time.
Five days later, after draining over seven thousand mice.
Rogue's physical fitness had increased more than a dozen times. Bai Ye officially added the training of controlling her body to only absorb stamina to the training list.
Then, because it was the first time the girl had been so intimately close to her idol, she lost control of her emotions and made a mistake while absorbing stamina.
Seven days later, Kingpin's new book promotion plan officially launched. Anyone in New York, or even the United States, who turned on a television would see advertisements for Bai Ye's new book.
And throughout New York, campaign banners were plastered everywhere, including photos (photoshopped) of Bai Ye and Kingpin.
During this time, Bai Ye, as he had told Kingpin on the phone, didn't get involved in anything.
Except for playing poker with Camilla every night, and sticking close to Rogue to absorb stamina during the day.
And spending half a day each week going out with Gwen and doing everything except hitting a home run, the rest of his time was spent on training.
Then, under Bai Ye's high-intensity training, twenty-one days quickly passed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Inside the brand-new factory Kingpin had set up, Bai Ye was bound to a massive platform by thick alloy steel pillars.
Thousands of tons of pressure pressed in on him from both sides through the steel, each time causing obvious trauma to his muscle tissue.
At the same time, tens of thousands of volts of high-voltage electricity assaulted every cell in his body.
The high temperature generated by the electric shock could cause his cells to die at any moment, but they would recover in an instant thanks to his powerful self-healing ability.
Seven meters from Bai Ye, a huge piece of tempered glass enclosed him, isolating the inside from the outside.
Outside the glass, Smith and Rogue watched the various data with amazement.
Especially Rogue, who, after joining Bai Ye's training team like Smith, could finally understand what Smith meant when he said that he watched Bai Ye grow stronger step by step.
"Smith, switch the TV channel, will you?" Bai Ye's voice came from inside the factory.
"Oh, okay, boss," Smith said quickly, then picked up the remote and pressed it lightly.
The next moment, in Bai Ye's view as he exercised, the program on the TV a few meters away switched to a news segment.
Although Bai Ye had completely adapted to the pain of exercise, there was no need to put all of his mental energy into physical training while exercising.
In front of Bai Ye at this moment, there were ten TVs in total, all reflecting different content, ranging from scientific knowledge to world news.
While exercising, Bai Ye was multitasking, learning some simple knowledge and understanding world events. It also counted as utilizing his increasingly over-clocked brain.
But when he turned his attention to the TV news, a newly appeared piece of news caught his attention.
