Chapter 180 The Hunt Begins, X-Gene

Mo Fei was too lazy to explain further to him, and instead drank while thinking about the upcoming itinerary.

His current identity is actually a covert operation under the orders of Colonel Stryker, who is currently on the island and has captured a bunch of mutants for research purposes.

Before long, after achieving a breakthrough with Adamantium on Logan, they will create another troublesome monster that combines several abilities.

The thought that he could now hire subordinates to work for him made him begin to covet the promising talents on the island.

Many of the superpowers in the X-Men universe have very strange and wonderful effects.

For example, Mystique's perfect transformation, Keira's mind control, and Mischief's ability to absorb power... are all abilities that Murphy greatly envies.

This world is a treasure trove, waiting for him to unearth it.

But at the same time, it is a world that can pose a deadly threat to him.

In the previous worlds, although there were people who could threaten his life, they were all extremely rare beings in that world.

However, in this world, all sorts of strange superpowers could take his life in an instant.

In particular, there are two people in this world whom he is very wary of: Jean and the professor.

Both of these people have the ability to read memories. Once they find out that I am a traveler, I will probably become public enemy number one.

Therefore, he cannot reveal too much of his strength, lest he attract the attention of others.

He then needs to train someone to do things for him. Logan is not an option, but Kayla is a good choice.

She is meticulous and has many concerns. Her special ability is to control other people's minds. It would be best to take her away, but if that's not possible, then we can only try to subdue her.

“Logan, we have to put on an act. Since they’ve controlled me to kill your woman, they must want something from you. Once I step out of this door, I’ll be your enemy. If you want to know the truth, do as I say.”

After listening to Mo Fei's suggestion, Uncle Wolf thought about it and agreed that it made sense, so he nodded to show that he understood.

After the two chatted for a while about the general situation, Mo Fei left alone, leaving behind Uncle Wolf who was pretending to faint.

……

After parting ways with Wolf, Mo Fei arrived alone at the teleporter's residence.

This black cowboy has amazing abilities, but he himself is a complete idiot, turning his superpower into a useless thing. So maybe he's planning to use him to test his skills.

"System, can you collect the X gene?"

"Please don't use something so easy as a test of my abilities. As long as you can kill the target, I can squeeze every last drop out of him."

Hearing the bandit system's domineering declaration, Mo Fei couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

That makes sense. It can even devour the core of the main god and forge the mark of the main god. How could a simple extraction function be difficult for it?

Having a clear understanding of the situation, Mo Fei officially launched his hunting plan.

When he silently sneaked into the room, the black cowboy inside was watching the super fat man beating people in the boxing ring.

Although Mo Fei had seen this scene in a movie in his previous life, the fat man's size still made him take notice.

Inheriting the agility of its feline predecessor, and with the aid of Mo Fei's unrestrained ascension to immortality, Mo Fei's stealth movements are almost perfect.

It wasn't until he had stealthily moved only a few meters behind the teleporter that the other party sensed danger and made him subconsciously turn around.

"Whoosh!"

At such close range, the surprise attack could have been launched almost instantly.

Knowing his weakness perfectly, the right hand formed a claw, instantly piercing through his now-vanished body and seizing his spine in a flash. "Hey, little darling, you really do have a spine, huh? How could you be so careless?"

"Victor! Why did you kill me?"

Faced with the black cowboy's shocked questioning, Mo Fei smiled sarcastically and decisively snapped the man's spine.

"Have you ever heard of villains dying from talking too much? That's why I never offer explanations for the dead."

The giant meatball downstairs, seeing its companion die instantly, showed no intention of seeking revenge.

Instead, he quickly adopted a defensive stance, retreating off the stage at a speed inconsistent with his size, while guarding against Mo Fei's attack.

Hearing the notification from the system that the X gene collection was complete, Mo Fei couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Meatball, what's your name again? What kind of mutant ability do you have? Is it getting fat or having super strength?"

Seeing his companion die, the meatball downstairs, who was already terrified of Mo Fei's past life, now feared Mo Fei even more.

“Victor, my ability is useless. It’s just that I’m stronger, and it also has the side effect of making me fat. The cowboy’s ability is much better than mine.”

Mo Fei, with a bright smile, looked at the ball of flesh that was already nearing the door downstairs, and said calmly:

"Take one more step and I'll extract oil from you. Besides, with all that fat on you, do you think you can escape?"

Mo Fei's words made the meatball, which was trying to escape, tremble on the spot.

After considering the speed difference between himself and the enemy, he had to accept the fact that he was now at the mercy of the enemy.

"Don't worry, I don't think much of your abilities. Just tell me some valuable information, and I'll spare your life."

"really?"

Upon hearing Mo Fei's words, the meatball, who had thought he was doomed, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes.

Hearing this, it seemed that all they needed was more information about mutants.

The fat man, who clearly knew a lot of inside information, quickly spilled all the information he knew to Mo Fei.

"You mean that gold medalist named Remi Leber is on Bourbon Street right now?"

“He is a conman who has been involved in gambling for many years. Bourbon Street has the largest casino in the area, and he is most likely there.”

Although he had seen the movie in his previous life, he couldn't remember these trivial plot points.

With the instructions given by the meatball, it was easy for Mo Fei to find the top player, Remi Leber, who was showing off his card skills in the casino.

Watching the cards fluttering in his hand like butterflies, even Mo Fei couldn't help but feel a little envious.

This card-playing skill is a killer weapon when it comes to picking up girls.

Mo Fei, upon arriving at the back of the card table and seeing Remi Leber deliberately letting others win and thus losing his chips, couldn't help but feel a moment of silence for these gamblers at the table.

You might win, but I'll never lose—that's the golden rule of con artists and casino owners.

Seeing Remy go all in and win all the chips from his opponent who was just laughing, Mo Fei probably wasn't planning on wasting any more time.

"The rumors about the gold medalist winning ten out of ten bets are indeed true. Now I'd like to make a bet with you. I wonder if you dare to accept?"

Having just reaped a bountiful harvest, Remi Leber was riding high and agreed almost without hesitation:

“I, Remi Leber, have no gamble I wouldn’t take. What do you want to gamble on?”
