Several days had passed since Li Ge last met with Shadowcat and Iceman.
Although Li Ge had hoped they would spread information about him everywhere to speed up his plan to spread his power.
After they adapted to Telekinesis and began using it instinctively, however, their intelligence reasserted itself.
They were merely naive, not stupid. Of course they knew what Li Ge's ability represented.
So afterward, they agreed not to tell anyone else about Li Ge's ability and even asked him to hide it.
Li Ge gave no definite response. Even without them spreading the word, his ability could not stay hidden.
Over the past few days, the two had followed Li Ge around as though they had arranged it beforehand, turning away everyone curious about his ability.
After the Professor and the others learned that Li Ge had given them Telekinesis, they merely told him not to give other people abilities so casually again.
They said nothing else.
Perhaps the Professor had already seen Li Ge's restless nature, yet they had no way to keep an eye on him at all times.
Whenever the X-Men spoke with him, they would, deliberately or otherwise, tell him to learn to carefully judge other people's character.
Although they never said it outright, how could Li Ge not know their purpose?
Seeing that they could not stop him from giving power to others, they wanted him to give it to people of good character as much as possible.
Li Ge naturally accepted their advice, saying that he would not give power to people of poor character.
As for what he would actually do, Li Ge could only say that nothing was absolute.
However, Li Ge had not seen Phoenix over the past few days, and Cyclops and Wolverine rarely appeared either.
They were probably teaching Dark Phoenix, Cassie.
Yet however Li Ge looked at it, it seemed that Wolverine was keeping his Dark Phoenix company, while Cyclops was keeping his Phoenix company.
Although he was curious about Dark Phoenix's situation, Li Ge did not ask any questions.
They would have to let Dark Phoenix appear outside sooner or later anyway. What did he have to be impatient about?
Still, he wondered how the Professor and the others would explain Dark Phoenix's identity. After all, there were bound to be plenty of eyes watching the academy.
How could someone who looked exactly like Phoenix not arouse curiosity?
Another thing worth mentioning was that Li Ge had also met Beast, Hank McCoy, one of the few scientists and researchers among mutants.
Needless to say, Li Ge naturally helped Beast solve his inability to return to human form.
Based on his ability, Li Ge also made some enhancements and modifications, allowing him to better live up to his codename, Beast.
As for what exactly they were?
Li Ge could only say that he hoped no one would provoke him in the future, or they would learn what a true beast was.
Having benefited from Li Ge's ability, Beast was deeply grateful to him.
At the time, even a grown man like him had nearly cried when he saw that he had truly regained his human appearance.
After all, he had suffered so much because of his appearance throughout his life.
And in the academy, almost no one looked stranger than he did.
That had always been a thorn in his heart.
Now he could finally free himself from all of it.
After learning that Li Ge was collecting knowledge and information, Beast generously shared his research findings with him.
The Professor and the others also kept their promise, giving Li Ge access to all the knowledge they could gather.
They did not even withhold the mutant genetic research data they had collected.
Li Ge stood on no ceremony either, directly scanning and recording all this information into his Divinity.
Sure enough, with the addition of this knowledge and information, Li Ge felt as though his ability had gained some supporting framework.
He no longer relied entirely on brute force to work miracles. Even the abilities manifested within him worked more smoothly, and their energy consumption decreased somewhat.
The manifestation of real space within the dimensional world and the growth of Redstone both accelerated.
It was worth mentioning that Li Ge had not merely recorded this knowledge. He had also scanned the information of everything he could access within the academy.
This way, he could condense things of the same materials within his dimensional world.
Of course, while the materials were the same, their properties differed from those in the real world.
Once the manifestation was complete, his dimensional world would become a real game world.
Mystique had recently taken an interest in Li Ge.
Originally, she had simply been posing as a student in the academy as usual, keeping track of changes within it.
Over the past few days, however, she had noticed that something was amiss.
Like Li Ge, she had also noticed that the X-Men were appearing much less frequently.
She had also secretly seen the Professor and the others frequently meeting with Li Ge.
This also made him take notice of Li Ge, a student.
To find out what the X-Men were doing, she had originally planned to wait until one of them was alone, impersonate another X-Man, and fish for information.
But she discovered that they seemed busy with something important and were almost never alone.
So she had no choice but to turn her attention to Li Ge.
Through conversations with other students, she had already learned that Li Ge was a new student.
She also knew that the Professor and the others had welcomed Li Ge to the academy together.
She had further learned that their unusual behavior had begun after Li Ge arrived.
Mystique felt she had found the person she was looking for.
She decided to test Li Ge.
One time, after Li Ge sent Shadowcat and Iceman away and was sunbathing alone on the grass.
She knew her chance had come!
To be honest, the moment Mystique appeared before him disguised as Shadowcat, Li Ge had already recognized her identity.
After all, his various abilities had been growing stronger throughout the past few days.
An ability like Information Scanning and Recording would be important for making up for his shortcomings in the future, so he had focused on strengthening it.
No matter how convincing Mystique's transformation was, there were still minute differences.
Before Li Ge, who was now comparable to an essence analyzer, her identity was practically on display in plain sight.
But he did not expose her. Perhaps this was a good opportunity to use her to expand his influence.
Li Ge decided to reveal some information to her directly.
"Kitty, did you need something?"
"Was the Telekinesis I gave you last time not up to your expectations? Do you want a better ability?"
The probing words Mystique had yet to utter suddenly caught in her throat.
Her heart pounded, and she nearly failed to maintain the smile on her face.
What did he mean?
What did he mean by the Telekinesis he gave her?
What did he mean by a better ability?
Did he mean what I think he meant?
"It's nothing. I really like the Telekinesis you gave me!"
"I just thought I should thank you again. The Telekinesis you gave me is so useful!"
"I still have some things to do, so I'll be going."
Forcing herself to maintain her expression, Mystique casually invented a reason based on the information Li Ge had revealed.
Then she used having something to do as an excuse, turned, and left.
No longer caring whether she would arouse suspicion, Mystique left without the slightest hesitation.
If the information Li Ge had revealed was true, then he was far too important to mutants.
She needed to contact Magneto as soon as possible. With an ability like that, Li Ge deserved a better stage.
