Chapter 127 - 128Chapter 128: Capacity Restrictions Are Loosening, Should We Be Responsible to Taxpayers?

Darwin followed Fang Yuan very smoothly.

When an idol personally invites you and promises to cultivate you with all their might, especially for something you've always wanted to do, almost no one would refuse.

Fang Yuan didn't take Darwin to Xavier's Mansion; instead, he had him move directly into Vought Tower, becoming a formal employee.

Name: Darwin

Level: A+

Fame: 3 (Unknown)

Unlock Reward: Initial Reward (Claimable)

Initial Reward: Acquired Skill - Adaptive Power Lv.1

First, Darwin's character level gave him a pleasant surprise.

A+ level, on par with Professor X and Magneto.

Then, the unlocked reward was a second surprise.

Adaptive Power: Can automatically make minor adjustments to various body attributes to adapt to the current environment.

"It's actually a skill?" Fang Yuan was very satisfied.

Skills, like Auras, can be used at all times. He experimented by jumping directly into a swimming pool.

His current physique was E+, enough for him to stay in the Water for a long time even without breathing.

But now with Adaptive Power, Fang Yuan found that although he didn't grow gills to breathe in the Water like Darwin,

he could feel subtle changes in his internal organs, allowing him to stay in the Water even longer than before.

Fang Yuan's heart stirred. He shot out of the pool, his Angel's wings spreading behind him, and then instantly teleported into the room.

"The body's burden is much, much smaller!" Fang Yuan was very happy; his idea was indeed feasible.

Darwin's ability can even circumvent Death, let alone the backlash from using multiple superpowers.

Fang Yuan tried it briefly and found that Adaptive Power could reduce the backlash to a very low level when he used two character templates.

Although the backlash still existed, Adaptive Power was only Lv.1; to have such an effect without even being a Tier 1 reward already made Fang Yuan very happy.

Moreover, Fang Yuan discovered that when he used Solar Energy Absorption and the Black King Template, because both had the effect of improving physical attributes, under the effect of Adaptive Power, the backlash of using both simultaneously was minimized, allowing Fang Yuan to enjoy the effect of extending his life by using energy while absorbing Solar Energy to enhance his attributes.

He silently gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart.

Darwin's move was indeed the right one.

Now, Fang Yuan had Murray begin training Darwin, primarily focusing on speech, demeanor, and various knowledge areas.

Vought's official employees, especially prominent figures like Angel, Professor X, and Magneto, all underwent such training.

The goal was singular: absolutely no scandals.

Darwin was someone he intended to use to gain fame among African Americans, so his importance directly paralleled Angel's, and naturally, he couldn't be careless.

Fortunately, according to Murray's feedback, Darwin himself was very dedicated, with a much higher learning enthusiasm than Eric, and even more diligent than Warren.

Warren was too famous and had many things to do all day, while Eric simply didn't care about the details. Fortunately, although Eric's style of action was relatively radical, he still had a good sense of proportion.

Of course, among the original trio of Mutants Fang Yuan knew, Mystique truly lacked any sense of proportion.

She actually pestered Fang Yuan for most of the night.

But Fang Yuan was no longer who he used to be, let alone having comprehended secret techniques like the Black King Template's 'Erotic Grenade'.

Not to mention just Raven, even if White Queen came, it would be no problem.

So the next day, Raven couldn't get out of bed and even canceled her activities.

The X-Men currently have two major daily tasks.

The first is to attend various events like celebrities, including commercial endorsements, official promotions, and charity performances.

These are traditional Vought engagements.

The second is to carry out various rescue missions, most often disaster relief.

The two complement each other, making the X-Men's name increasingly well-known.

However, compared to the actual Vought Corporation, Fang Yuan's organization is still considerably better at doing practical work.

Now, not only Fang Yuan felt good, but President Kennedy also felt much better.

Ever since he hinted at his willingness to compromise on the Federal Reserve issue, Kennedy clearly felt his influence in Congress had grown by several points.

That's right, his influence actually increased after he compromised.

This is not unimaginable; politics is inherently the art of compromise. If he compromises, others will naturally follow suit. Otherwise, what if pushing too hard causes Kennedy to relapse?

However, Kennedy didn't have two easy days, because the matters Fang Yuan entrusted still needed to be done.

Another round of high-level meetings.

This time, it was about discussing the scale of the Vietnam War.

Those present were important members of Congress, as well as representatives from military-industrial corporations.

Don't ask why military-industrial corporation representatives can attend official high-level meetings; the answer is 'money power'.

Of course, the real reason is that everyone present knew that military-industrial corporations played a crucial role in how the Vietnam War was fought.

As everyone settled down, many senators openly exchanged glances with several military-industrial corporation representatives, and their eyes frequently swept over President Kennedy, who was seated at the head of the table.

It could be said that 80% of those present hoped to expand the war, but President Kennedy was an obstacle they couldn't bypass.

Especially the military-industrial corporation representatives, their eyes always held a cold glint when they looked at Kennedy.

Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing their parents, not to mention that the parents of the military-industrial representatives present weren't worth that much money.

However, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

Capital is also interconnected; everyone present knew that Kennedy had softened his stance on the Federal Reserve issue, so there might be a turning point today.

A senator once again brought up a proposal to expand the scale of the battlefield, presenting various reasons that were flowery and incredibly logical.

Kennedy didn't even twitch an eyelid.

Seeing his demeanor, those who had held some hope were deflated.

According to the usual procedure, now would be the time for senators opposing the war expansion to state their position, and then Kennedy would mediate and end the meeting.

But this time was very different; after the proponents finished speaking, Kennedy spoke first.

"It can be considered as appropriate."

"Hmm?"

"What?"

A clear commotion broke out in the meeting room; everyone could hardly believe their ears.

Had the President changed his nature recently? To repeatedly abandon his political stances?

But what Kennedy said next also surprised them.

"However, if we expand the war, we must be responsible for the soldiers on the battlefield, for example, military equipment."

"If there are more high-quality military-industrial enterprises, I think they should also be brought in. This is being responsible to the taxpayers, isn't it?"

"What do you all think?" Kennedy asked with a smile.
