Enhancement and Strength Improvement

"Bradley isn't Shaw's man; he's from a secret military task force."

"That's right, that task force is a mutant task force."

"And... they've been doing some rather illegal things for a long time."

Under everyone's gaze, Charles slowly began to speak.

He relayed the memories he had read from Bradley's mind to the others.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy.

The fact that this involved military forces was indeed troublesome.

"So, you and Rorschach killed two military mutant agents and captured one?"

Erik raised an eyebrow, feeling quite overwhelmed.

"Erik, you killed people? What's going on? I thought you were just going to have a chat with them, like you've always done."

Agent Moira looked completely bewildered.

It was just a recruitment mission, how did it result in death?

"Agent Moira, we were just defending ourselves," Rorschach explained earnestly. "They attacked us out of the blue, we had no choice."

Following that, Rorschach briefly described the situation to Moira and Charles.

After listening, Moira's brow furrowed deeply, like an old chrysanthemum blooming in late autumn.

It was clear that the other two agents were there to silence the defecting agent.

Erik and Rorschach had simply gotten caught up in it unintentionally.

This matter was of great importance, and Moira and the others dared not be negligent. They immediately ordered Bradley to be brought in for interrogation.

However, Bradley's lips were sealed. No matter how Moira questioned him, he didn't utter a single extra word.

In the end, it was Charles who used his abilities to read Bradley's memories, finally obtaining more intelligence from him.

"William Stryker, Moira, the person who formed that mutant task force is William Stryker!"

Charles's expression turned even more grim.

"William Stryker? You mean, Commander Stryker's son?" Moira looked utterly shocked.

As a senior agent of the CIA, Moira was well aware that the Deputy Director of the CIA's Operations Division was named Jason Stryker.

And Jason Stryker's son just happened to be named William Stryker!

This had truly blown up!

Back in the conference room at CIA headquarters, Agent Moira had brought Charles to report the existence of mutants to a group of CIA executives, and they were undoubtedly ridiculed.

The CIA Director himself had nearly reassigned Moira to the typing pool.

It was only when Raven performed a shapeshifting demonstration on the spot that the executives were finally convinced of the existence of mutants.

And among those executives who had mocked Moira so harshly was Jason Stryker.

Now, they discovered that Jason Stryker's son had secretly formed a mutant task force long ago.

If that's the case, why was Jason Stryker playing dumb?

Or did he genuinely have no idea what his son was up to?

They almost didn't dare to think about it.

The waters behind this matter were too deep; they feared that if things went wrong, they would all be swallowed by that immense vortex.

The scene fell into silence, the atmosphere growing increasingly oppressive.

"Rorschach, you can go back now."

After a moment, Charles's voice rang out. He spoke to Rorschach, "But remember, don't leak anything about what happened today to anyone!"

"I understand, Charles!"

Rorschach nodded, greeted Moira and Erik, and stood up.

"Rorschach!"

As he reached the door, Charles's voice called out from behind him again.

When Rorschach looked back, Charles said earnestly, "Don't worry, we'll handle it."

His voice wasn't loud, but it possessed a kind of magic that made people involuntarily feel convinced.

This was precisely Charles's charisma.

"Of course, Charles!"

Rorschach pushed the door open and walked out.

Although the few people in the office were frowning over the mess they had created, Rorschach didn't really take it to heart.

If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up!

With the CIA as a powerful ally, what is there to fear?

Plus, with Charles and Erik, two overpowered individuals, guarding things, everything would be fine.

Rorschach returned to his dorm in good spirits.

After closing the door, he impatiently accessed his personal status panel.

[Host: Rorschach]
[Age: 16 years old]
[Speed: 53 m/s]
[Strength: 7.2 tons]
[Constitution: 124 (Average adult healthy male: 10)]
[Mental Power: 82 (Average adult healthy male: 10)]
[Current Template: Homelander (Unlock Progress: 1%)]
[Abilities: X-ray Vision (Beginner), Super Hearing (Beginner), Flight (Locked), Heat Vision (Locked)]
[Origin Points: 100 points]

The relevant data on the panel had changed accordingly.

Finally, the Origin Points weren't zero.

[Detected surplus Origin Points. Would you like to use them for reinforcement immediately?]

The System also popped up a prompt like this.

There was no need to even consider it. If he had Origin Points, why wouldn't he use them right away instead of saving them for later?

However, how to use them still required some thought, as Origin Points could be used in various ways.

Rorschach began to study them carefully.

He quickly discovered that using Origin Points to boost a single attribute was very inefficient. The cost-effectiveness was far lower than the bonuses gained from unlocking the overall template.

Given this, there was no reason to hesitate.

Rorschach directly added all 100 Origin Points to the unlock progress.

[Congratulations Host, Homelander template unlock progress increased to 2%!]

"It only increased the unlock progress by 1%?"

Rorschach was a little speechless. After all that effort, he only gained 1%.

[Host: Rorschach]
[Age: 16 years old]
[Speed: 61 m/s]
[Strength: 15.2 tons]
[Constitution: 144 (Average adult healthy male: 10)]
[Mental Power: 102 (Average adult healthy male: 10)]
[Current Template: Homelander (Unlock Progress: 2%)]
[Abilities: X-ray Vision (Beginner), Super Hearing (Beginner), Flight (Locked), Heat Vision (Locked)]
[Origin Points: 0 points]

However, when Rorschach looked at the panel data again, he couldn't help but feel excited.

The stats of his body had all changed significantly. His speed had reached sixty-one meters per second, and his strength had reached fifteen tons!

Looking at the numbers alone might not be intuitive, but a few examples would make it vivid.

Firstly, Rorschach's speed had now reached twice the maximum speed allowed on a highway!

This meant Rorschach could now easily outrun most cars on foot.

In Captain America: Civil War, Captain America struggled to hold onto a helicopter on the roof of the anti-terrorism building. That was an Airbus AS350 Écureuil, weighing 2.5 tons, and it made Captain America grit his teeth.

But for Rorschach, he could easily grab six of them with one hand!
