The cable car stopped, and the three of them walked into a modern passageway, followed by a long corridor, and finally stopped in front of an iron gate.

hum...

Sui Xing walked to the door and turned on the switch. The iron door slowly opened with a metallic hum.

Everything outside was white, and it seemed as if they had crossed a long period of time in an instant and arrived in winter.

Starting from the iron gate, a wide gravel road stretches all the way to the end of the line of sight.

Walking on the gravel path, with your gaze wandering among the snow-covered mountains, the view here is extremely wide, giving you a feeling of "looking down on all the mountains".

Strangely, despite the high altitude, it's not cold here, and the temperature is very stable.

Fang Yu speculated that this was due to the expansion of the mantle vines inside the planet, resulting in large temperature differences and a very unstable climate.

What attracted him most was the shielding tower standing atop the highest peak in the distance.

Even from a great distance, the tower's details, resembling rivets, are clearly visible.

You can imagine how enormous it will be once you step inside.

Fang Yu seemed quite interested in the shielding tower, and Mai Duo, as before, continued to act as a guide.

"That's the shielding tower that protects our village. It can release a special magnetic field... making us undetectable to the Devouring Beasts."

The journey was long, but with Maido by my side, I didn't feel lonely.

Soon, they arrived at their destination, the "Potential Activation Center".

……

Fang Yu: "Is it necessary to strip so completely?"

"Hmm... leaving one pair of underwear on isn't out of the question."

"They're all men, what are you afraid of?"

At this moment, in a state-of-the-art medical room, Fang Yu lay flat on the only examination table, wearing only a pair of underwear. The table was similar in style to an operating table, with an overall metallic hue. When his back touched the cold leather, goosebumps rose on his skin.

A shadowless lamp directly above him provided light, its glare somewhat blinding. Fang Yu could only turn his head to look at an elderly man and a middle-aged man busily applying unidentified metal patches all over his body.

"Is it just the two of you who need to have their health data checked?"

Upon hearing this, the old man with the goatee continued explaining with his hands still moving:

"Of course, everyone else is preparing for the startup and debugging of the phenomenological equipment."

Fang Yu was surprised: "Directly try to activate potential?"

Regarding the phenomenological device, he learned something from the original text: it could help others skip the first step and directly enter the second step, "source turbulence." In short, activating potential involves three steps: generating willpower, source turbulence, and activating potential. He still thought today was just a simple test.

"The correct way to put it is that we help you skip the first step, 'generating the will,' but whether you can activate your potential still depends on yourself."

Seemingly ready, the old man raised his hand and combed his goatee:

"Boss Bai said that your body structure may be very different from that of a normal person, and we can't even determine how to stimulate it in the first step, so we're letting you skip the first step."

As he spoke, he leaned forward, his gaze sweeping over Fang Yu, then shook his head and said:

"Tsk tsk, it's really different. These muscle lines are just like mine when I was young."

"We can begin."

The man, who was busy at the control panel, gave a reminder and then pressed some kind of button on the control panel.

In an instant, Fang Yu felt the metal patch on his skin vibrate slightly. Two seconds later, the area covered by the metal patch began to feel a tingling sensation.

Seeing Fang Yu's still puzzled expression, the old goat quickly called out:

"We need to increase the frequency; we're massaging him."

"How much?"

"Full power!"

Fang Yu was completely numb. The increasingly intense vibrations made him feel as if his soul was about to be shaken out. Soon, his eyes went blank, and he lost all movement.

Upon seeing this, the old goat nodded, but was secretly shocked. The intensity just now was already an overestimation of their strength. Even an elephant would be instantly paralyzed by the shock, yet it couldn't shake Fang Yu's physique. What's the difference between this and steel?

Time passed...

"The data is out."

"Let me see."

Holding Fang Yu's data report, the old goat looked at it for a while, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man and said:

"The data... is it correct?"

"Probably not, should we test it again?"

"No, we're not sure if he can handle it. Besides, so many people have been tested before and there were no problems. Let's use this as the standard."

As the middle-aged man left with the report, the old goat looked at Fang Yushi again and found that he was already peeling off the metal sticker. Normally, it would take at least half an hour for someone who had been tested to recover, but this person seemed to have no aftereffects at all.

At this moment, he seemed to understand Bai Yuekui's intention. This was a treasure trove, quietly waiting for them to unearth it. Even so, he couldn't help but show a look of heartache and said:

"Be gentle! Do you know how valuable these devices are? If they break, you'll have to rebuild them."

"Well, I think I can give it a try."

"Don't move! I'll do it."

Seeing the old man with the goatee raise his voice and look distressed, Fang Yu had no choice but to stop and let him carefully remove all the metal plates from his body.

……

Da Shan: "Holy crap, this guy's physical stats are outrageous, almost a hundred times higher than normal. Is he even human?"

Xu Tong: "Who knows, it might be a new Devourer created by Mana Ecology."

Seeing that the two were going too far, Maido, who was busy working, couldn't help but glare at the two who were idly standing by the railing above:

"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up for talking about others like that? I heard that his whole family perished in the Devouring Beast Tide, and he was the only one who escaped."

Hearing Mai Duo defend Fang Yu so strongly, Xu Tong moved closer to Da Shan:

"When did that guy become so close to Mydo?"

"It seems that Maiduo encountered Fang Yu, who was lost, on the road."

Xu Tong exclaimed in surprise, "Is he directionally challenged?"

"He's here, stop yelling, or you might really get a beating."

Wearing a black cloak, Fang Yu followed the old man with mechanical feet along the long corridor. After undergoing disinfection and laser testing, he finally arrived at the Potential Activation Hall, where he was about to take the final step.

Looking up, Bai Yuekui, wearing a white lab coat and glasses, was standing next to the phenomenological equipment, seemingly adjusting it.

To Fang Yu's surprise, Da Shan, Xu Tong, and the medical practitioner Jiu Ge with a bun hairstyle stood on the second-floor railing, providing a sense of security.

In the hall, Mai Duo, Xia Dou, Bai Yue Kui, Sui Xing, the old man with his hair tied up, and the middle-aged man who spoke Cantonese were all there. It could be said that all the members of Bai Yue Kui's team were present, making it a grand gathering.

Upon Fang Yu's arrival, Bai Yuekui stopped what he was doing and looked Fang Yu up and down. The feeling Fang Yu got from that look was exactly the same as how he had looked at Bai Yuekui yesterday:

"Take off your cloak and stand here."
