A total of six fine threads extended out from the miniature rhombohedron. They swayed and floated within the chamber of the device. At first glance, it looked like a struggling alien jellyfish.
Luo Nan pursed his lips, and his gaze focused on the interior of the device. He felt that the scene before him had a sense of déjà vu. It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Crag Burst swept a few glances before shifting his gaze to Worker Zhai. From the outside, this maintenance technician's forehead was covered in sweat from just holding the metal rod. It looked like he was working very hard. At the same time, the fluctuations on the mental plane grew more and more obvious.
There was nothing much to say. Worker Zhai was an ability user.
Crag Burst sized up this person a few more times. He felt that this was unexpected, but reasonable. It was natural that the channel introduced by Papercut was linked to ability users.
As Luo Nan's bodyguard, Crag Burst needed to eliminate all sources of danger. But frankly speaking, it was a bit difficult to link this person to a source of danger.
Worker Zhai's performance was really quite average.
Such a description could be said to be polite. Crag Burst was experienced and knowledgeable. He had his own yardstick in mind. Worker Zhai's performance of disturbing the mental plane just now was probably a level higher than that of the ability users Crag Burst had seen before.
Being able to consciously use mental strength to affect the material plane was pretty good for ordinary people, but that was all there was to it. The metal rod and its related instruments were used for amplification. If it weren't for this intermediate link, with Worker Zhai's level of mental strength, it was unknown if the interference force he formed would be able to lift up even a strand of fine hair.
Crag Burst relaxed after making this judgment. He noticed that Luo Nan was still seriously observing the device's chamber. Looking at Luo Nan's focused appearance, the miniature rhombohedron seemed to be more valuable than expected.
A thin layer of sweat had already formed on Worker Zhai's forehead. His breathing was no longer even, but the appearance of the six tentacles around the rhombohedron in the device's chamber didn't change at all.
Luo Nan finally spoke at this time, "Will this toy undergo further changes?"
Worker Zhai took a deep breath and spoke much faster, "There should be. These six tentacles are quite sensitive to interference force, but they haven't formed an effective structure for kinetic energy storage and transformation, let alone those related to maglev. If the tai chi ball itself doesn't possess a corresponding arrangement, then these tentacles are the most worthy of attention... My abilities aren't enough. Can I help? "
Not to mention Luo Nan and Crag Burst, even Xue Lei, who was watching from afar, sensed that something was off. He assumed that Luo Nan had forgotten to introduce him. He grinned and said, "So Worker Zhai is also from the Society."
Worker Zhai also smiled. He didn't hide it. "Papercut is my recommendation, but he's still in the evaluation period. It's already been over five years."
Xue Lei exclaimed, "It can't be, the evaluation is very strict?"
He had already prepared to join the Ability User Professional Association, and the relevant procedures had already begun. With a busybody like Zhang Yingying around, he didn't have to worry about anything. Therefore, he was still at the stage where he didn't fully understand the three stages of the association's assessment, awakening, and vocation. When he heard 'five years', his heart skipped a beat.
Worker Zhai continued to smile faintly. Luo Nan and Crag Burst didn't explain in person. After all, speaking the truth was a bit hurtful.
In terms of sensing on the mental plane, even ten Crag Bursts added together couldn't compare to Luo Nan. If Crag Burst was able to discover the situation, then Luo Nan certainly wouldn't have any problems as well. Moreover, Luo Nan's situation was more detailed and vivid.
From Luo Nan's perspective, Worker Zhai's mental strength and his ability to interfere with the material plane were truly too horrible to look at. Some time ago, he had a similar problem.
But even if the appearance was similar, the essence was completely different.
Luo Nan possessed mental strength that far exceeded normal standards, but because of the special circumstances of Formatting Theory, a barrier was formed between him and the material plane. In the end, he relied on coupling with the heart lantern of the eyes orifice to break through the shackles. It could be said that Worker Zhai's problem was a marvel, but his method of solving it was extraordinary.
As for Worker Zhai, his problem was the simplest and most straightforward kind. His cultivation was insufficient. There was nothing praiseworthy about him on the mental plane, be it in terms of intensity or level of immersion. He simply wasn't up to standard by the standards of the Society.
Luo Nan remembered Zhang Yingying saying that there were six hundred thousand ability users in the world, but only seventy thousand Awakened ones. It was these seventy thousand people that formed the framework of the Ability User Professional Association.
Unawakened characters like Worker Zhai belonged to the category of people that the Society could record, but they were normally disinclined to pay attention to. If Worker Zhai was a bit younger, like Luo Nan who was fifteen or sixteen years old, then perhaps there would be some anticipation. The problem was that Worker Zhai was at least forty years old. The word 'potential' no longer held any meaning.
Worker Zhai found it harder and harder to hold on with these few words. He shook his head, "Who's going to give me a hand?"
"How?"
"Just hold this handle and pour your strength into it. As long as you can form interference power, then it's fine. "
"Then I'll do it." Crag Burst wasn't willing to let Luo Nan touch some inexplicable things. He took a step forward and firmly grasped the metal handle after Worker Zhai released his grip.
The tentacles that extended from the miniature rhombohedron had a tendency to shrink inward because Worker Zhai had released his grip. However, Crag Burst didn't seem to exert much force, but the contracted tentacles suddenly protruded out by a large chunk. They even became a bit thicker. The space of the device's chamber became much narrower, so much so that the tentacles had to continuously coil in order to accommodate them.
Soon, the four people could clearly see that five forks had silently separated from each tentacle. They were finer than the tentacles of the previous level, and they were slowly elongating. There were a total of thirty-six filaments. They crisscrossed from time to time to form a marvelous dynamic pattern.
"This is amazing!" Xue Lei's attention was immediately drawn back. He scratched his head as he watched. "There are other mechanisms in this toy?"
Crag Burst was blinking as well. It was as if he was recalling something. He asked Worker Zhai, "Is this okay?"
"Wait a moment."
Worker Zhai used the scanning device to analyze the dynamic pattern formed by the tentacles. He formed a simple diagram and transferred it to the holographic screen. Then, he began to operate and make corrections. In a short ten seconds, there was a dynamic pattern. It appeared one after another, appearing in succession. It was like an animated short film. There was a clear sequence to it.
"The structure of the kinetic energy conversion is okay, but it's still not enough …."
"Again? Watch me! " Crag Burst didn't pass on this responsibility. He added two more layers of force as he chatted and laughed. However, there was no further reaction from the device's chamber.
Worker Zhai indicated for Crag Burst to look at the dashboard below the metal rod. "Continue. It's fine as long as the needle doesn't enter the red zone."
"Then I'm going to play for real." Crag Burst grinned. A layer of dark red radiance seemed to suffuse his bronze-skinned face. Even his pupils revealed a scarlet color.
His five fingers moved a bit on the metal handle. He was just about to exert force when he heard, "Stop!"
Crag Burst instinctively withdrew his force. He glanced at the dashboard, but he saw that the needle had already made a large jump. It had nearly entered the red zone.
"... I haven't even used my strength yet!"
"Your interference ability is too rough. It's not suitable."
Worker Zhai turned his gaze to the other side as he spoke.
