The recruitment was soon over, and in addition to Iceman, Colossus, Storm, and Naughty, Matthew also snatched several students with special professional skills from Six Doors.

These students are carefully selected by Matthew, and each one has a tailor-made plan to join Fantastic Industries that will continue to bring great value and wealth to Matthew in the future.

It's a pity that research and development requires a huge amount of capital and technical support, and the magical industrial grass creation, logically the author can't make Matthew like in other fantasy plots, whether he has money or not, as long as he is the protagonist, he can complete the research of world-shaking technology in his basement or with a casual wave of his hand.

So Matthew's choice was to choose other allies to work together on mutant technology. As an agent of mutants, Magical Industries has a first-hand grasp of mutant resources, and can choose suitable partners from allies.

To this end, Matthew designed and launched the "Ability Broker Program". Under Fantastic Industries, it is planned to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ability Broker as a mutant agent, signing contracts with mutants with special abilities such as Iceman and Little Naughty to provide them with job opportunities and take commissions from them.

If Project Windcatcher is a huge and stable money printing machine, then Power Broker is a petty deal, a new attempt by Matthew to exploit mutant resources.

The Ability Broker Program will circumvent the limitations of Fantastic Industries' existing capital and technology, develop cooperative allies, continue to develop mutant resources, and create huge economic value. The economic wealth generated will feed back the scientific and technological research and development of the miraculous industry.

The contract agency system, this kind of equal and non-binding cooperation is also very satisfying for mutants who have entered human society for the first time.

In the decades to come, this kind of egalitarian and mutually beneficial cooperation swept the world, and superhero agencies sprung up, setting off a mighty proxy war. These agents, large and small, have created trillions of economic value and greatly improved the economic situation of many superheroes who are not good at managing their finances, which can be called immeasurable.

What Matthew didn't expect was that the Quick-Witted Ability Broker Project, by chance, would become the predecessor of the mercenary model in the future.

…………

The next day, as promised, Matthew introduced the Iceman to his mentor, Professor Eddie Mora.

Professor Eddie himself is one of the world's leading experts in the field of quantum physics, and is keenly aware that the "quantum vacuum" behind the Iceman's ability may contain immeasurable scientific value.

How much is an Iceman researcher who can freely create absolute zero worth?

There is only one answer: it's immeasurable.

Each test of physics experiments consumes more than one million, and the instruments and equipment move tens of millions or hundreds of millions, while the consumption of the iceman is insignificant.

In addition to the cost savings, the value created by the Iceman is even greater and incalculable.

The competition for scientific research is fierce, and there is a rush for time. If you find it one second earlier, you will succeed, and if you are one second late, it will be waste paper, and all the investment will be wasted. Compared with most laboratories that have to queue for months to do an experiment close to absolute zero, there is a controllable absolute zero creator who wants to experiment casually every day, what will be the progress and results of scientific research?

Therefore, the public offer made by Wonder Industries to the major laboratories for the Iceman is $100,000 an hour, and the price is not negotiable. It's hard to understand the price of the Iceman, knowing that the money he's seen in his life at the Mutant Academy doesn't add up to that much.

Of course, this price seems to be a drizzle for any top scientist, and Professor Eddie did not hesitate to recruit Poppy the Iceman to the Quantum Physics Science Research Center as a distinguished researcher on the spot, and directly signed a one-month employment contract.

Matthew also said playfully that the iceman would never accept employment from other laboratories within a month, and the old fox and the little fox looked at each other and smiled, all without saying anything.

Meet and chat, 70 million knives in hand. Matthew's powerful gold-making ability completely shattered the Iceman's long-standing cognition. The iceman was surprised to find that his ability was so strong.

For the first time in his life, he began to think that perhaps the value of ability lies not in whether it is strong or not, but in the value of creation.

…………

A similar bizarre encounter happened to the mischievous Anna.

The mischievous Anna ability is to absorb the life force of others by touching her skin, including memory, will, and knowledge, and gain the superpowers of the other person. This superpower is uncontrollable and often inadvertently hurts the people around him, so he is called a little naughty.

The uncontrollable ability causes her deep pain, and in order to avoid accidentally injuring her teammates, Naughty wraps herself tightly from head to toe. Coupled with the experience of being controlled by the enemy Magneto, the little naughty was isolated by the other students, intentionally or unintentionally, and became no longer cheerful, and the person became silent and inferior.

Only Matthew realized the value of the naughty ability. The little mischievous in Marvel Comics used to continue to absorb the power of "Phoenix" Jean Gray, and has long-term flight ability, strengthened physical strength and endurance. Therefore, as long as you find a strong enough target for the little naughty to absorb, then you can directly create a super strong person of the same level.

Not to mention how amazing the science behind the little naughty Anna's ability is, whether it is transformed into technology or martial arts, it will bloom with great power, and it may be able to reproduce the famous name of "Wuxiang Shengong" in the Marvel world.

It's just that the mischievous Anna's long-term self-questioning and rejection of abilities not only affects the evolution of her abilities, but also makes her herself suspicious of all this. For Matthew's weight, he was even a little surprised and repulsed.

Matthew and Peter the Spider bring the Phantom Cat to Osborne Industries.

The root of the Phantom Cat's ability lies in the super compatibility of the X gene, and the two strongest options in the field of life science research that are close to it are Dr. Kurt Connors, who is now the mentor of Little Spider-Man Peter, who is engaged in genetic compatibility research and finally incarnates Dr. Lizard in the original book.

The second is the father of his friend Harry Osborne, the head of the legendary Osborne family who became the last incarnation of the Green Goblin in the original book, and the founder of the Osborne Industrial Group, Norman Osborne.

According to Peter the Spider, Dr. Connors is not in a good financial situation. In comparison, Osborne Industries, one of the few large groups in the Marvel world, can afford a good price.

And Matthew and Little Spider still have some expectations in their hearts. His friend Harry Oss himself suffers from a genetic disease inherited from the legendary family Osborne, and has been away from home for treatment, and has not been heard from for a long time, and his life and death are uncertain. If the Phantom Cat's ability allowed Norman Osborne to make a breakthrough in R&D, it might give Harry a little more life.

"Uncle Norman, long time no see, how's Harry?" After months of not seeing him, Matthew almost didn't recognize Norman Osborne in front of him. Originally, Norman was also a beautiful man with a good demeanor, but now he is haggard, and most of his black hair is white.

"Hello Matthew, Peter. Harry is still in treatment and is much better now. Norman Osborne said with a smile, and the heritage and cultivation of the legendary family that has been passed down for thousands of years can still be seen in his words and deeds. It's just that when Harry Osborne is mentioned, his expression can't help but reveal anxiety and gloom.

Not surprisingly, Norman Osborne, who has been immersed in life science research for many years, is keenly aware of the powerful value of the little mischievous Anna's ability, and simply accepts the offer of Magical Industries.

The appearance of the little mischievous Anna made Norman Osborne pleasantly realize that the research on superpower serum, which has been in a bottleneck for a long time, is likely to make a breakthrough. For Matthew and Peter's kindness, Norman Osborne was also full of thoughts for a while. Harry is suffering from an incurable disease, but he didn't expect that these two good friends made by Harry have always been in his heart, but they are really sincere and well-intentioned.

And the little naughty on the side was completely stunned by the huge offer, and felt that the world was so unreal. At this time, she began to realize that what Matthew explained to her was true, that her ability was not useless, and that she was really so important.

Little Naughty followed Matthew all the way back to the house provided by Fantastic Industries for the mutants who joined, and then woke up. This is an ordinary apartment-style building, originally the property of the Hand Society, and was bought by Magical Industries at a low price after the Battle of the Demons.

The Iceman sat quietly on the sofa alone, thoughtful. The two looked at each other, and their hearts were full of thoughts.

It turns out that we were wrong before.

Perhaps, this is the future of mutants.
