People are always deeply impressed by things they can experience firsthand.
Almost everyone has experience being injured and knows that wounds take a considerable amount of time to heal.
So when they saw Logan's fatal gunshot wound recover so quickly, everyone's jaws dropped.
Because they had their own experiences for comparison, the shock Logan's scene gave people was no less than when Magneto pulled a submarine with his bare hands.
Thus, Logan's fame began to skyrocket, quickly breaking through the 90 mark!
Logan's fame was already over 70, and now it had suddenly surged to 90; once things fermented a bit more, Fang Yuan would be able to harvest Logan's third-tier rewards.
Kennedy was quickly evacuated under the cover of the Secret Service. The scene was then immediately cordoned off as military and police began the tedious work of gathering evidence. The government also established a special Investigative Committee, wanting to find out who was bold enough to dare assassinate the President of the United States.
And they hadn't even killed him.
However, there weren't many clues for the time being; they had only found the location where the gunman fired and were still screening suspects.
In this era, there wasn't much surveillance, so the investigation was not fast.
After all, the President didn't die, so there was no rush to find a scapegoat.
But facing the clamorous public opinion, the authorities had to produce something in response.
So Logan was brought forward; as a heroic figure, he was praised and promoted by the government in various ways to divert the public's attention.
In any case, the public only needed a focus; whether they focused on the truth behind the President's assassination or the hero bodyguard made no difference to them.
However, at the official level, many high-ranking officials or capitalists actually didn't want to make the investigation process public.
Especially the capitalists and financial groups.
If it turned out that one of them did it, wouldn't it be embarrassing if the public found out?
Although many capitalists had followed Vought's wave of advanced technology and made a lot of money, where there are winners, there are losers.
Just as it was impossible for everyone to support Vought, Vought couldn't bring everyone along for the ride.
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents; there will always be some who are driven to desperation.
Although capitalists generally believed that the conflict with Vought being retaliated upon the President made Kennedy an accidental victim.
But those capable of such an assassination cannot be judged by common sense.
So it was best to investigate in secret; if they found anything, they could still cover it up themselves.
The public's right to know was worth nothing; the survival rule of the United States was that as long as things looked fine on the surface, it was enough.
Thus, with the tacit cooperation of various media outlets, less than two hours after Kennedy's assassination, the news world was flooded with the heroic deeds of Wolverine Logan.
The scene of him sensing the danger in advance, decisively throwing himself onto Kennedy to take the bullet, and then standing up bathed in blood as his wounds healed rapidly was played on a loop across major television channels.
Coupled with the hype from some experts brought in for guest appearances, Wolverine Logan's fame expanded rapidly.
Wolverine had been popular before, when he, as an Awakened, became the President's bodyguard, which was seen as a new stage of the Awakened being accepted by society.
But this time, Logan represented only himself; he had saved the nation's nominal top leader with his outstanding personal abilities, and it was all captured on a national live broadcast.
National live broadcasts had already become a standard feature of Vought's major events.
Combined, these elements were a recipe for explosive popularity.
With the media pushing him now, Wolverine Logan became an iconic figure among the Awakened.
Naturally, Logan also successfully unlocked the third-tier reward.
[Name: James Logan Howlett]
[Rank: B+]
[Fame: 102 (Famous)]
[Unlocked Reward: Third-tier Reward (Claimable)]
[Third-tier Reward: Obtained Character Template - James Logan Howlett (Rank B+, 65% Development)]
It was much as Fang Yuan had expected; the development of Wolverine's template was quite high. After all, ever since his superpowers Awakened, Logan had completely ignored defense and acted recklessly on the battlefield, using his Self-healing ability almost constantly, so the development was naturally high.
Fang Yuan even felt that if Logan and Viktor hadn't had the Beast Sense ability to avoid fatal dangers, they would have been turned into minced meat on the battlefield long ago.
After all, Wolverine's Self-healing ability was indeed strong, but like Sabretooth, he couldn't regenerate severed limbs.
Of course, according to their Self-healing speed, if they pushed the ability to its limit, wounds could be repaired the instant a blade passed through, and even severed hands or feet could be reattached. But once decapitated, it was truly game over.
This differed from Deadpool's Self-healing ability; the movie version of Deadpool could regenerate limbs, though the downside was a slow healing speed.
"If these two abilities could be combined... and then add survival of the fittest?" Fang Yuan thought to himself; his future survivability would be absolutely monstrous.
Adding this to his future plans, Fang Yuan claimed the Wolverine reward. Because Fang Yuan's own attributes were higher than Logan's, the Wolverine Character Template immediately jumped to 69%!
He was just one step away from unlocking a stronger version of the ability.
However, since it was stuck at 69%, it wouldn't be broken through in a short time.
Fang Yuan was very experienced and wasn't in a rush at all.
He wasn't in a rush, but Wolverine himself was a bit anxious.
"Logan, slow down!"
Fang Yuan said after quickly catching up with Logan.
They were inside Vought Tower. The Investigative Committee needed to verify the situation at the assassination scene with Logan. Since Logan was an Awakened, according to the Vought Act, he had the right to request to be questioned at a Vought facility, so everyone came here.
Vought certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity for exposure.
A large crowd of fans was permanently gathered at the entrance of Vought. They were very excited to see the skyrocketing Wolverine, but Logan was clearly very uncomfortable, ignoring them and rushing inside.
"Fans are asking for your signature; how can you refuse?" Fang Yuan said with mock heartbreak. "Vought employees can't act like divas."
"I... I've never experienced this kind of situation," Logan replied very awkwardly.
It was as if dealing with fans was harder than charging onto a battlefield alone.
Looking at the bashfulness on Logan's face, Fang Yuan laughed.
Wolverine had always lived amidst fear and rejection; now that the outside world was full of praise and compliments for him, how could he have ever experienced such a situation?
However, in his past life, Fang Yuan was also a fan of Wolverine. From his stunning debut in "X-Men," to learning about his past in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," to the curtain call of "Logan," Fang Yuan could be considered an old friend who had witnessed Wolverine's entire life.
He suddenly thought that in the original plot of Logan's life, there was too much misery and very few of these "happy troubles."
Now that Logan's fate had been changed, it could be considered a small gift from Fang Yuan to this old friend he had only recently met.
