Thanks to the unremitting efforts of his Good Big Brother, Fang Yuan unlocked five Character Templates in one go: Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, Rogue, and Wolverine.
After the Sentinel crisis, Sebastian Shaw, the Mutant spokesperson, was promoted directly to a Mutant power broker. He took the initiative to establish this World's Vought Corporation and then began to exercise his understanding of the Vought spirit.
Judging from the results, his Good Big Brother's understanding was very much on point.
As for these Character Templates, the panels after Fang Yuan claimed them were as follows—
[Character Template: Scott Summers (A-Rank, Development 42%)]
[Character Template: Ororo Munroe (A-Rank, Development 36%)]
[Character Template: Logan Howlett (A-Rank, Development 86%)]
Of course, Logan's template also shared the same situation as Professor X and Magneto, merging directly with his previous Character Template.
However, because the attributes of the Wolverine from the old history completely crushed the one Fang Yuan had signed before, the attributes of the Character Template were entirely overwritten.
And this gave Fang Yuan his first surprise.
From the previous [Angel Template] and [Steve Template], Fang Yuan had discovered that when a Character Template's development exceeds 70%, it grants a unique effect. Since the [Logan Template] was already at 86% development, it naturally brought Fang Yuan new gains.
"Snikt!"
Fang Yuan clenched both fists, and a silver-white Talon emerged from between the knuckles of each finger. A total of six claws, all filled with a metallic luster, were more imposing and sharper than his previous bone claws.
Adamantium Skeleton!
Fang Yuan hadn't expected the [Logan Template] to be able to manifest a bunch of Adamantium inside his body out of thin air; after all, strictly speaking, this counted as an external object.
But he soon accepted it; Logan plus Adamantium was the complete Wolverine, after all.
However, while Adamantium was good, he had to stay away from Magneto. Thus, with a thought from Fang Yuan, the Adamantium Skeleton inside his body instantly disappeared.
Inside the Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters, Old Magneto furrowed his brows in confusion. He had clearly sensed a foul smell of steel just now, but it had vanished in an instant.
"Logan must be playing with portals again," he shook his head and continued into the communicator, "Raven, you all did very well..."
"Raven?" There was no answer for a long time, so Old Magneto called out again.
"Ah, I'm here."
Mystique quickly replied. She had just been a bit dazed; it felt like it had been a very long time since Magneto had called her name so affectionately.
Fang Yuan felt a slight relief; he had almost let the cat out of the bag in front of Magneto.
The 70% development of the [Logan Template] had unlocked the Adamantium Skeleton for him, and now that it had reached 86%, he could choose whether or not to equip the Adamantium according to his own will.
This was quite important. After all, while Adamantium was good, metal was easily targeted by certain people.
There was nothing particularly special about the Character Templates for Cyclops and Storm that needed separate mention, so Fang Yuan immediately focused his attention on the most important one: Jean Grey.
Jean's initial and Tier 1 rewards were both spirit-related, boosting Fang Yuan's mental strength significantly, though not yet to the B+ level.
However, his Telepathy ability, derived from Professor X and the White Queen, had improved a lot.
Jean's Tier 2 reward was also quite interesting.
[Communicator Aura (B-Rank): Can perform a check on a target. If the check passes, a single conversation can be initiated with the target.]
"Is this an allusion to the lack of communication between Jean and Professor X leading to the emergence of Dark Phoenix? Or is it saying that the lack of communication with her second personality led to her death?" Fang Yuan complained in his heart.
He could clearly feel that the rewards unlocked by Jean Grey were quite different from those of the Ancient One.
The Ancient One's Tier 1 reward was a B-Rank aura, and her Tier 2 reward was an A-Rank aura, while Jean's Tier 2 reward was only a B-Rank aura.
It seemed that even S-Rank employees had differences in strength.
Fang Yuan was a bit disappointed, wondering if it was because he had essentially gotten the Phoenix's reputation for free?
But since it was an aura nonetheless, Fang Yuan accepted it with a smile.
After all, the panel only said to perform a check on a target; it didn't say the target had to be a human or an animal.
Fang Yuan then looked at the Tier 3 reward Jean unlocked, wanting to see what kind of Character Template it was. He didn't expect his pupils to dilate instantly the moment he glanced at it.
[Tier 3 Reward: Unlock Character Template - Jean Grey (A+ Rank, Development 22%), Character Template - Phoenix Fragment (S-Rank, Development 0%, Unactivated)]
What?
What did you say?
There really is a Phoenix Force?
This was the first time Fang Yuan had encountered a Tier 3 reward that unlocked two Character Templates!
He quickly looked at the [Jean Grey Template]. It was Jean's own Telepathy ability, similar to Professor X's but stronger, with added abilities like Telekinesis.
Although the rank was only A+, which didn't quite match her S-Rank employee status, it was a complete non-issue if the second template was included.
Fang Yuan could well understand the name 'Phoenix Fragment'. After all, even Marvel writers hadn't depicted a truly complete Phoenix Force.
As long as it existed, he wasn't picky.
The only thing that cooled down Fang Yuan's heated blood was the 'Unactivated' status shown on the Character Template.
"What counts as activation?" Fang Yuan hadn't encountered this situation before.
The panel's reply was quick—[Using an ability once counts as activation.]
So Fang Yuan directly equipped the [Phoenix Fragment Template] and then focused his mind to perceive it.
Nothing.
The Phoenix was sleeping.
Fang Yuan asked again: "How do I use the ability?"
[Certain special templates have abilities with consciousness; usage requires communication with the ability.]
Communication?
Fang Yuan immediately thought of Jean's Tier 2 reward, the [Communicator Aura]. So that's what it was waiting for.
Then Fang Yuan also roughly understood the panel's meaning. To put it simply, the panel had directly made him the host of the Phoenix Force, and it was the kind that couldn't be canceled.
But what happened next would depend on Fang Yuan's own skills.
What was this, Naruto Uzumaki being a Jinchuriki?
He wondered if the Phoenix Force had a nickname like Kurama that could create a sense of intimacy as soon as he called it.
Fang Yuan acted as soon as he thought of it. He directly equipped the [Phoenix Fragment Template] and then activated the [Communicator Aura] on the Phoenix Force.
[Check Failed!]
"Huh?"
Fang Yuan's brow immediately furrowed.
Refusing to give up, he continued to activate the [Communicator Aura].
[Check Failed!]
"Hey, you're eating and living in my space, and you won't even pay me rent?" Anger rose in Fang Yuan's heart, and he directly spammed the activation.
[Check Failed!]
[Check Failed!]
[Check Failed!]
[Check Failed. Communication cannot be initiated with the current target again for 300 days. Spirit attribute increased to B+!]
The Phoenix declined your call invitation and threw a bunch of mental power at you.
Fang Yuan smiled and stopped while he was ahead.
As long as there were benefits, it was fine. Although this big lazy bird didn't like to talk, it was still quite sensible.
