OK.

Tony Stark made a gesture.

Five hundred million US dollars.

For Tony Stark, it was like five dollars.

There's absolutely no need to haggle.

But...

Chen Ji realized an awkward situation: he didn't have a credit card. Where should the money be transferred?

Wanda.

"Pietro."

"Does anyone have a credit card?"

"Give him your account number."

Chen Ji smiled.

They didn't care at all about where this income belonged.

The twin brother and sister looked at each other in bewilderment.

Five hundred million?

Zun Du is fake?

After a brief hesitation, Pietro gave Tony the card number and his name: Pietro Maximoff.

Jarvis quickly transferred five hundred million dollars into Pietro's account.

I saw a string of numbers on the account.

Pietro's eyes widened in amazement!

Even the hatred in my heart has dissipated considerably.

After all, he knew he was in the wrong, and since he had no one else to hate, he could only hate Tony!

However.

When the $500 million arrived, both he and Wanda were deeply moved.

As true war orphans, both of them understood what five hundred million dollars really meant!

From now on, when buying canned food, I can simply eat one can and throw the other away!

"Mr. Chen..."

How do you know us?

"And deposited another five hundred million dollars into Pietro's account?"

Aren't you worried at all?

Wanda blinked her beautiful eyes, her delicate and pretty face with a few freckles gave her an innocent and naive air, as if she had only recently come of age.

They had absolutely no idea what was going on.

"Worry?"

"What's there to worry about?"

"Only five hundred million US dollars."

"The cost of my purchase of biometals was not five hundred million US dollars, and I have no objection to using secular currency."

"What's the difference between this and waste paper?"

Chen Ji shrugged.

Five hundred million US dollars.

Gain the trust and friendship of the twin siblings.

It's practically a sure-fire way to make money!

Wanda!

The host of the Chaos Magic, the Scarlet Witch with Boundless Magic, possesses a magnanimous heart and a youthful and beautiful appearance.

Once the Chaos Magic within her is activated, it will undoubtedly bring about a major turning point in her destiny!

He had already decided where the twins would go; Wanda, as God-Level Mutant, should be welcomed by the X Academy of the Arts.

Even if Pietro's ability level is at least Alpha-Level, it would be enough to make Professor X very happy.

Once the twins learn how to control their powers at the X Academy, they will be able to contribute to Chen Ji's success.

Even...

Chen Ji might also use the Entry System to create a counterfeit version of [Chaos Magic]!

Even a trace of Chaos Magic would be enough to turn the tide, overturn the rules, and make him invincible!

Bringing Wanda to Kamar-Taj, once Baron Mordo and Kaecilius discover the existence of Chaos Magic...

Chen Ji couldn't guarantee that he could protect Wanda 24/7 and keep her away from the Zealots' surveillance!

Before one has fully mastered Chaos Magic is not a blessing, but a curse!

"List."

Where are your design drawings?

"Does this mean I have to design it?"

Tony frowned.

The design blueprints for the Sling Ring!

This is also a key part of the development of the Energy Ring.

Without blueprints, deriving the method for making the Sling Ring is incredibly difficult, almost impossible.

This gave Chen Ji a real headache.

How could I forget about that?

It's said that important people have bad memories.

It seems he has become a benefactor!

Chen Ji chuckled to himself.

"Don't rush."

"I need to go to the X Academy to settle the twins in. You can have the magic armor made first."

Chen Ji nodded.

With a wave of his hand, he opened a Mystic Portal, leading directly to New York Salem Center of Westchester County, New York.

An old and magnificent villa estate came into view.

The green grass was lush and delicious.

The air is fresh.

The mysterious sorcerer, who left the twin siblings mesmerized, was actually planning to send them to live in such a manor?

X Academy?

What place is this?

For high-ranking government officials, the existence of the X Academy is practically no secret.

However.

For the general public, the details of the X Academy are completely unknown!

The twins had no idea that a mysterious X-Factor was lurking within them!

"Mutant?"

Are these twin siblings Mutant?

"You've really struck gold!"

"Instead of sending him to Kamar-Taj, you sent him to the X Academy's. Are you closer to Professor X?"

Tony Stark's eyes were bright and wise.

He had already secretly investigated various materials and, through Nick Fury's network of contacts, learned many unknown truths.

But...

Due to the Federal Government's long-standing negative propaganda, Tony Stark still harbors no goodwill towards Mutant.

Besides, these twin siblings hated him for no reason!

This made him even angrier.

Why should Obadiah Stane be made to take the blame?

"I will handle this."

"You should also learn to be more understanding, Tony."

"The twins did nothing wrong; they just lost their parents in the war."

"It's already quite an achievement to be able to grow up in Sokovia."

Chen Ji sighed inwardly.

Upon hearing the name Sokovia, Tony Stark looked enlightened and couldn't help but soften a little.

Before Stark Industries' transformation, the weapons research and development department mainly exported the munitions manufactured to Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

It was precisely because he recognized the cruelty of war that he chose to shut down the weapons research and development department.

No one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes.

He couldn't travel back in time to change history, so he could only try to make amends. To that end, he established the Stark Foundation to help the poor and war refugees.

Even with his immense wealth, his efforts were still far from sufficient to address the massive number of war refugees.

"Tony Stark."

I will never forgive you.

"Whether now or in the future."

Wanda's face was as cold as ice.

Immediately, together with Pietro, they stepped into the Mystic Portal and onto the lawn of the X Academy.

Night fell.

Dark clouds gathered on the horizon.

A faint roar of thunder could be heard.

It felt like a torrential downpour could happen at any moment!

Tony stood there for a long time, remaining silent. He looked at the piles of Dragon-Scale Metal and, thinking of the magical armor that was about to be released, he finally came to his senses.

They immediately began grinding the Dragon-Scale Metal into metal powder.

He uses 3D printing equipment to manufacture the parts he needs, immersing himself in the process and using his busyness to alleviate his anxiety.

"Tony."

You should learn to say goodbye to the past.

"Whether you're wearing the armor or not, you're still Iron Man."

Chen Ji's eyes showed reluctance.

He knew Tony Stark's inner turmoil and offered sincere words of comfort, which made Tony pause slightly.

As soon as Chen Ji left, the Mystic Portal vanished into thin air.

Tony then muttered something under his breath.

"You have the best eye after all..."

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

The spacious office is decorated in a retro and sophisticated style.

Professor X, seated in his wheelchair and perusing documents, immediately sensed the arrival of the uninvited guest.

He then summoned the X-Men with his mind, and propelled by Cyclops, quickly left the office and arrived in front of Chen Ji.

Although Chen Ji had visited X Academy once.

However, it left an exceptionally deep impression on Cyclops and Professor X.

Furthermore, everyone couldn't help but show surprise when they saw Chen Ji appear with a young couple.

With his extraordinary perception, Professor X also keenly discovered that the young man and woman actually possessed the X-Factor!

Could it be...?

Chen Ji plans to bring Mutant to the X Academy for training?

"Um?"

Professor X's eyes flickered.

He suddenly realized that the X-Factor in Chen Ji's body seemed to have increased as well!

It completely surpasses the Alpha-Level!

The next stage after the Alpha-Level is the Omega-Level, which is hailed as the ultimate threat to humanity!

The legendary God-Level Mutant!

List...

He's actually become God-Level Mutant?

Secondary Mutation?

How did he do it?

Professor X's pupils suddenly contracted.

Throughout the entire process, there was no conversation, yet he already knew everything!

This is the benefit of a [super brain]!

However, every gift from heaven comes with a price. If Professor X were to develop Alzheimer's disease, his "super brain" would become a weapon of mass destruction!

Professor X is practically a human nuclear bomb!

This time, the entire X-Men were present; no one was absent.

Upon seeing the characters from the drama appear before him, a strange expression appeared on Chen Ji's face.

A burly man with hair resembling a wolverine's and a robust build, wearing a leather jacket and a cigar dangling from his lips, exuded an aura of unapproachability.

It was Wolverine!

[Name]: Logan Howlett

[Identity]: X-Men

[Entry]: Beast Sense (Green), Super Regeneration (Blue), Merciless Killing (Blue), Adamantium Skeleton (Purple).

[Beast Sense] (Green): His sense of smell and other senses are extremely developed, enabling him not only to anticipate danger and distinguish friend from foe, but also to resist conventional Mind Stone harm.

[Super Regeneration] (Blue): He possesses a self-healing factor that Super Regeneration. No matter what form of attack he suffers, he can recover in a very short time, and his physical functions are always at their peak.

[Murderous] (Blue): He has participated in various wars and been tempered by blood and fire. His physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. He is proficient in almost all the fighting techniques in the world. All his attacks are only for taking lives.

[Adamantium Skeleton] (Purple): Logan was injected with a high concentration of Adamantium during the Weapon X Program, making his skeleton indestructible and nearly Immortality, which also made him invincible in battle.

"Purple Entry..."

"Logan, injected with Adamantium, has reached Alpha-Level capabilities?"

Chen Ji frowned slightly.

The way they looked at Logan became more intriguing.

Even with his power, he wouldn't be able to kill Logan. Perhaps only Banishment Magic, exiling Logan to another dimension, could possibly solve the problem once and for all.

This is a real Murder Machine!

The assessment that he is almost Immortality is enough to prove that Logan's strength is extraordinary!

Then, his gaze fell on a beautiful woman with long, flowing red hair and a tall, slender figure. She had a supermodel-like golden body proportion, with graceful curves and alluring leg lines.

A strange glint flashed in his eyes.

The two locked eyes and immediately sensed each other's aura—both were Omega-Level!

"God-Level Mutant..."

"He's wearing Kamar-Taj attire, and he's also a Mystic Arts Mage?"

The beautiful woman was greatly surprised.

And she was the Ancient One's primary target of surveillance, the host of the Phoenix Force!

[Name]: Jean Grey

[Identity]: X-Men

[Entry]: Geneticist (Green), Telepathy (Green), Psychic Superman (Blue), Phoenix Force (Gold), Evil Personality (Black).

[Geneticist] (Green): She is intelligent, studious, and well-educated. She has become a renowned scholar in the field of genetics and enjoys international acclaim.

[Telepathy] (Green): She can read other people's Mind Stone and thoughts, although she doesn't usually do so.

[Psychic Superman] (Blue): She can move objects remotely, manipulate telekinesis, create power barriers, and fly. Currently, she has not developed this ability to its fullest potential.

[Phoenix Force] (Gold): Once this power is fully awakened, it will boost the effects of all her talents to an almost Infinity level, easily altering the form of matter and burning everything in the world. Her strength will be equivalent to that of Celestials!

[Evil Personality] (Black): Due to fear of the power she possesses, an evil personality lurks within her, filled with a violent and destructive desire. If not handled properly, it will inevitably cause a devastating disaster.

"Golden Talent!"

"The Phoenix Force..."

"Strength equivalent to Celestials?"

"Enough to burn everything in the world?"

Chen Ji was secretly alarmed.

He knew that the Phoenix Force was incredibly strong, its power was practically heaven-defying, but when he saw the description of the effect, he couldn't help but gasp.

No wonder even the Ancient One paid close attention to Phoenix!

Once Phoenix fully awakens, it's as if two Cosmic Celestial exist on Earth!

"An evil personality..."

"Dark Phoenix..."

"If Dark Phoenix appears, am I confident I can defeat her?"

Chen Ji weighed the options in his mind.

It's said that Dark Phoenix is far more powerful than Jean Grey, so doesn't that mean Dark Phoenix also has at least one Gold Entry?

And he still doesn't have Gold Entry!

While an entry cannot represent true ability, it is enough to illustrate some points!

"List."

"What brings you to the X Academy this time?"

"And the two people beside you..."

"Is he Mutant too?"

Professor X smiled and suddenly spoke, interrupting Chen Ji's thoughts.

"Yes."

"This is Wanda, this is Pietro."

"Twin siblings from Sokovia."

"I discovered them by chance, and after considering everything, I brought them to the X Academy."

Chen Ji greeted everyone with a smile.

He briefly explained the situation to Professor X, which immediately made Professor X very happy.

"It seems that the X-Factor within these twins is in an Unawakened state, yearning to awaken naturally..."

"Human intervention is necessary."

"But X Academy doesn't have this technology."

A large, robust Beast covered in blue fur suddenly stepped forward and carefully examined the twin brother and sister.

Beneath his fierce and rugged exterior lies a genius soul whose intelligence rivals that of Tony Stark!

And he was none other than the Original X-Men, Beast Hank!

Yesterday, I gave my brain a rest, reflected on my recent creative work, and made some adjustments to certain details.

Especially the [two Jokers] segment, the character portrayal is indeed a weak point for me, which is why I need to improve this ability.

In conclusion, I have now found a balance between 'characters', 'story', and 'pacing'. Thank you all for your support.

I, a newbie, will continue to strive, learn from failures, grow through reflection, and repay you, dear readers, with increasingly wonderful writing.

I will never limit myself to writing just this one book on Qidian. Of course, I will also never forget that the essence of online novels is to be enjoyable.

Dear readers, please stay tuned.
