Chapter 101 Loving Immortal Brothers
With Eric and Hank joining, the Brotherhood's overall strength increased dramatically.
Du Mu had a very clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the members in the guild.
Charles serves as the assistant, responsible for reconnaissance and control; Raven is the spy, responsible for being the sixth man; and Hank, as the researcher, is mainly responsible for developing the technology tree, only needing to personally intervene when necessary.
Eric, on the other hand, is an assassin. He first uses his clumsy stealth skills to make his target laugh to death, and then, taking advantage of the moment when the target is off guard, he suddenly shoots a small throwing knife from his body to kill the target and complete the assassination!
Eric: "...
"
As for Du Mu himself, he naturally remained firmly in the position of mage, hiding behind his teammates and providing magical support with his RPG at any time.
Looking at the fraternity, which was already taking shape, Du Mu nodded in satisfaction.
He believed that under his brilliant leadership, the Brotherhood would surely become famous throughout the world and even reach the moon!
Soon after, news came from Hank's side.
While studying Du Mu's advanced technology, he casually modified a large radar device originally used for signal detection into a special transmitter called a brainwave amplifier.
This device can significantly expand Charles's telepathic range by enhancing brainwaves, thereby enabling large-scale searches for mutants, and theoretically, even global searches.
Upon hearing this, Du Mu exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of the most intelligent mutants on Earth, they can even create such advanced technology."
Hank said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, it's nothing, I just made a few minor modifications."
Du Mu was even more astonished: "Only one day has passed, and you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have already learned to put on airs?"
Hank:
It must be said that the brainwave amplifier developed by Hank is indeed amazing.
After refusing Hank's suggestion to shave his head, Charles put on a brainwave amplifier. With the powerful enhancement of the device, his telepathic abilities were amplified immeasurably, increasing exponentially.
Charles now feels incredibly powerful!
Originally, his telepathic abilities could only cover a small area, but now they can be extended to the entire globe, and almost everyone's thoughts are exposed to him.
With just a small idea, he can change the way people around the world think in an instant, or create a global match-3 game.
Fortunately, Charles had a high moral standard and did not develop any bad thoughts. If it were someone else, who knows what the world would be like.
For example, Du Mu and Eric were very envious. If they had this ability, they would have started a global custom mode long ago.
During Charles's extensive search using the brainwave amplifier, he quickly identified several mutant targets that met the criteria. Along with his neural signals, the recording device next to him simultaneously printed out the geographical coordinates of these targets one by one.
Not long after, Charles removed the brainwave amplifier, let out a long sigh, and said, "These are the only targets that meet the criteria for now."
"That's incredible!"
Du Mu couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
With the brainwave amplifier on, Charles was practically a human mission tracking system.
As long as a living person has no ability to resist telepathy, no matter where they hide in the world, they cannot escape his tracking and targeting.
Unfortunately, this device is far too large. If it could be made into a portable, miniaturized version, such as the size of a helmet, Charles could deploy the domain anytime, anywhere, without being confined to this place.
After making his decision, Du Mu instructed Hank to thoroughly research this direction. After all, Charles was a core member of the guild, and the stronger Charles was, the stronger the Brotherhood would be, and the more trouble they could cause.
It's important to understand that creating a mutant guild and recruiting 12 members is merely the minimum requirement for the main quest. Ultimately, the rewards you receive will depend on the guild's influence and the number of its members.
Besides that, there is an even more important reason.
That is, Du Mu plans to place a teleportation anchor on this server so that he can freely enter and exit the server in the future.
In his view, this server has great potential, with all sorts of strange mutants, and perhaps one mutant's ability can directly or indirectly enhance the strength of others.
What's more, the Brotherhood he founded is also located here.
If he just leaves like this, wouldn't his guild have been built for nothing?
Although Charles's telepathic abilities cover the entire globe, he has actually only found a very small number of mutants who meet the criteria.
After all, their primary purpose in recruiting mutants was to fight against the Hellfire Club, led by Sebastian.
Therefore, mutants who are weak or lack combat ability are first eliminated, and those who are too young or too far away are also not considered. After several rounds of screening, only a handful of suitable candidates remain.
To save time, the group decided to split up and invite the mutants in two groups: one consisting of Charles and Eric, and the other consisting of Du Mu alone.
Hank had to stay at the base to continue researching those advanced technologies, while Raven's job was also important: to provide Hank with a mental energy booster to motivate him to work even harder.
Du Mu's first target was a mutant named Darwin.
The name sounds impressive, but the person in question isn't a biologist; he's a taxi driver.
Du Mu found Darwin's taxi without much effort and hailed it.
Darwin was a Black man. In an era before Black Lives Matter, being Black was purely a debuff, offering no advantages whatsoever. His mutant status only compounded the problem.
Therefore, when he heard Du Mu invite him to join the fraternity, Darwin nodded in agreement without hesitation.
For him, this might be an opportunity to completely change his fate.
Darwin then revealed his mutant ability, which was very fitting for his name: survival of the fittest.
His body can evolve rapidly to proactively adapt to any environment or emergency. Faced with various emergencies, his body will automatically make evolutionary responses without him having to think. It sounds like a very powerful ability.
However, Du Mu felt that this ability was still too limited.
If it were truly a survival of the fittest scenario, the other party would have become white long ago, and wouldn't be living such a miserable life now.
Perhaps it was because he had finally met someone of his own kind, but Darwin was unusually excited and kept talking non-stop, at a pace so fast it was like rap.
In closing, he declared with great confidence, "From this day forward, I will control my own destiny, and no one can control me!"
Du Mu said, "Turn right ahead and pull over."
"Yes, sir!"
The taxi quickly stopped at the corner.
Du Mu told Darwin to wait where he was, then got out of the car and walked straight to a bar on the street.
He quickly spotted his target in the crowd: a man with a full beard and a face full of stories.
[NPC: James Logan Howlett]
Codename: Wolverine
【Favourability: 0】
[Evaluation: Possesses extremely strong self-healing abilities, almost like being immortal. The Honey Badger, a wolf that hasn't yet obtained King Kong.]
An ability comparable to immortality?
Du Mu's eyes lit up. Wasn't this ability similar to that of the Blood God Fes back then?
A true tanky, invincible body!
He immediately walked over to Logan and cut to the chase: "Hey, I see you have amazing potential. How about joining our Brotherhood?"
Logan was puffing on his cigar when he glanced at Du Mu warily. He was about to reply with a refined and easygoing remark when suddenly his nostrils twitched and his eyes became alert.
"Who are you?"
As the saying goes, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.
Logan, like a real wolf, possessed an extremely keen sense of smell. At this moment, he smelled an extremely strong stench of blood on Du Mu, far stronger than any soldier he had encountered on the battlefield!
At the same time, his animal instincts were frantically issuing warnings.
The person in front of you is dangerous, extremely dangerous!
Seeing Logan suddenly bristle, Du Mu chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm Du Mu, the head of the Brotherhood. If I gave you a chance to change the world, would you take it?"
"I won't do it!"
Logan answered without the slightest hesitation.
"And I have a beautiful roommate? She's got superpowers too!"
"I won't do it either!"
Logan looked disdainful.
Does he look like the kind of person who would be easily seduced by beauty?
So what if she has superpowers? He dares to say this today: even if a woman really has superpowers, he won't even give her a second glance!
Seeing that Logan remained unmoved, Du Mu had no choice but to resort to his last resort.
"Where's the money?"
Logan sneered: "You think you can buy me with a mere amount of money? No..."
"We did it!"
A gruff voice suddenly interrupted Logan.
At the bar entrance, a man with an exceptionally burly build and a wild aura strode in.
[NPC: Victor Creed]
Codename: Saber-toothed Tiger
【Favourability: 5】
[Evaluation: Possesses extremely strong healing abilities, almost immortal; Wolverine's good older brother; a heartless killer.]
Another tanky, holy body!
Du Mu was surprised by the unexpected joy; it was truly a double blessing.
Victor grinned, revealing sharp teeth, and stared intently at Du Mu: "How much money are you willing to pay us? If you offer enough, I'll tear this bar down right now."
Bar owner: "???"
"Victor, what are you talking about, you idiot? I never said I was going to do it!"
Logan was immediately displeased.
He just said he wouldn't be bought with money, and you immediately agreed. Aren't you just slapping him in the face?
Du Mu waved his hand and said, "As long as you join the Brotherhood and fight a BOSS with us, I can give each of you one million US dollars."
Upon hearing this, Victor immediately replied, "No problem, you're our boss now!"
In an era when the average annual income of an American family is only a little over three thousand dollars, one million dollars per person is undoubtedly an astonishing sum.
"Fuck you, Victor! I didn't agree!" Logan cursed.
"Excuse me, boss, my brother and I need to talk for a bit. We'll be right back."
Victor grinned at Du Mu, then grabbed Logan and forcibly dragged him toward the back door of the bar, pushing and shoving him into the alley. An hour and a half later, the two returned to the bar, their bodies soaked in blood as if they had just crawled out of a pool of blood, clearly having a very pleasant conversation.
Victor said, "Boss, it's settled. Logan has agreed."
Logan remained silent with a gloomy face, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Clearly, in that pleasant conversation, he was less eloquent and didn't gain the upper hand.
A younger brother is still a younger brother!
Du Mu nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. From now on, you are members of the Brotherhood. We will explain the specific missions in detail when we return to base."
"it is good."
Victor simply replied that he only cared about the reward and didn't care about any other details.
As for Logan, he remained sullen and withdrawn, refusing any communication.
Du Mu led the two brothers back to the taxi.
Darwin was startled when he saw two blood-soaked figures crawl into the car: "Mr. Du Mu, who are these two?"
Du Mu chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, they are just like you, new members of our guild."
Darwin swallowed hard, his heart churning.
It's clear that the conversation didn't go very smoothly since they only returned after so long.
Considering the two men's bloodied state, it's possible that they were beaten to this state by Du Mu because they initially disagreed, and were eventually forced to agree to join the guild.
Could I have stumbled into some evil organization?
If I were to get another cult-related debuff, my life would be completely over!
"Darwin, drive. Our base is in Richmond."
"Yes, sir!"
Looking at Darwin's frightened face, Du Mu felt that he seemed to have misunderstood something.
Richmond, Virginia.
When Du Mu returned to the CIA research base with the three new members, he ran into Charles and Eric, who had also just been recruited, along with three unfamiliar mutants.
It's clear that this trip brought Charles and Eric much closer together.
Du Mu asked and learned that they had just gone to a strip club to recruit new members, and he immediately understood.
No wonder their relationship progressed so rapidly; it turns out they had achieved one of the four ironclad bonds between men.
Du Mu glanced at the new members the two had brought back.
Aside from the stripper, the other two mutants have pretty good abilities.
At this moment, Charles also looked at the people behind Du Mu.
His brow furrowed involuntarily as his gaze fell on Logan and Victor.
Charles quietly pulled Du Mu aside and whispered, "Du Mu, weren't you going to recruit Logan? Why did you bring his brother along? That guy is completely different from Logan; he's a madman and extremely dangerous!"
Although both Logan and Victor were soldiers who had fought in the war and killed countless people, Charles could sense that there was a fundamental difference between them.
Logan still had at least a sliver of kindness and a bottom line deep down.
But Victor is a villain who enjoys killing. He kills for the sake of killing and has no bottom line whatsoever.
Charles added, "Moreover, his motives for agreeing to join are not pure. He is now plotting to find out more about us first, and once he sees an opportunity, he will kill us and steal our valuables."
Du Mu patted Charles on the shoulder: "Old Charles, you have too much confidence in your abilities. You can't judge a person by what they think, you have to look at what they do. We can't deny someone just because they haven't done something yet."
Charles was taken aback, realizing that Du Mu's words contained a certain philosophical insight.
As a telepath, he knew that everyone has a dark side.
It's like some miserable wage earners who think about getting rid of their bosses every day, but they only dare to complain in their hearts. The next day, when faced with their bosses' exploitation, they still smile and say they've received it.
He thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "You're right. I can't completely dismiss someone just because of the malice in their heart."
"This child is teachable."
Du Mu nodded with satisfaction, then said, "Old Cha, do me a favor and erase these two brothers' memories. Make them completely forget about the million. The atmosphere was so heated back then that they just talked big and forgot they didn't have any money."
Charles: "...
So you were the real villain all along!
