Chen Fei fell into self-blame and confusion, but Hanna Gagel could quite understand it. "Everyone is born with a purpose, and even more so with special abilities. Escape is not an option; with power comes responsibility, which is the mission bestowed by the heavens." Indeed, any supernatural power user would find it difficult to adapt to the changes in their social role after the initial awakening. Take for example a butcher who suddenly awakens to a healing special ability. After healing someone's wounds, he's likely to reflexively consider whether he should dismember a femur to sell, perhaps to make a nutritious soup for them—such a fine femur! Logically, there's nothing wrong with that line of thought, given that skinning and butchering are part of his professional habits. But in reality, such an idea is utterly perverse and anti-human. Especially for rookies like these who haven't received any guidance or assistance and are non-sensitive to Supernatural Ability Suppressants, the effects are evidently not so good. Hanna Gagel, also a supernatural power user, even wanted to personally mentor Chen Fei for a while, helping him smoothly get through the adaptation period and gain initial control of his powers. She even asked the old Neanderthal Barut for help. But... the old man died in battle, and corporate war broke out. The executive manager had neither the energy nor the time to care for the rookie. Chen Fei was also inevitably pulled into the battlefield, with no time to refine his abilities, and oh, there was also that troublesome Dog System—adding to the headache. Fortunately, his awakened Metal Elemental Psychic Power was heavily combat-oriented, which made him thrive in corporate warfare. He didn't perish due to inadequate skill control post-initial awakening. However, such barbaric growth meant that even if his powers wouldn't become uncontrolled, the adaptation period was likely to be prolonged. Seeing Chen Fei still troubled by his "inner demons" and unable to calm his emotions for a long time, Hanna Gagel said, "When the corporate war ends, I'll give you a half-year supply of Supernatural Ability Suppressant, which should be 12 doses." Under normal circumstances, the effects of one dose of Supernatural Ability Suppressant can last a month. But for someone with a non-sensitive physique like Chen Fei, a dose every half month is at least needed. Time is the best psychological cure, and surely, after half a year, he should be able to adapt to the series of changes that the Metal Elemental Psychic Power has brought to his life. "Does it cost anything?" Chen Fei was instantly no longer conflicted. He almost forgot his debts were still unpaid; he couldn't afford to add to his troubles. As the saying goes, money talks can hurt feelings, but he didn't want to have an emotional conversation with that one-eyed old hag at all! "Ugh!" Watching the young man's spirits flip like the turning of a page, clearly not in need of any suppressants, the executive manager, who had already spoken, found herself in a misjudgement and, with no choice left, said helplessly, "It's free!" Damn it, it was like feeding a dog! So frustrating... "That's really great!" Chen Fei clapped his hands together; he loved free stuff the most. The 12 doses of Supernatural Ability Suppressant should help suppress that Dog System. Chen Fei was full of resentment towards the system that suddenly appeared in his mind. "Sigh..." The executive manager, feeling anxious, scratched her head flaking with dandruff. This kid's arrogance had just been too much, and now, the sudden change in tone caught everyone off guard, and it took them a while to adjust. "...My name is Chen Fei. I had a direct encounter with Mutant BC-2325 a week ago..." Chen Fei was sweating bullets from his forehead, almost blurting out "If you don't agree with me, come and fight me!" This was just too wicked! He quickly forced himself to concentrate and continued detailing his experience with those mutant creatures from beginning to end. He even demonstrated the evolution of the White Steel Crowbar with sound effects, point, stab, poke, knock, smash, pry... His Bug Beating Stick Technique of eighteen moves had already reached an advanced level, every swing fierce and powerful. The faces of the delegates below paled, and they instinctively leaned back in their seats, silently praying that the hotheaded young man would soon finish his Divine Skills before accidentally smashing someone's brains out. Scary as hell. With spit flying and gestures aplenty, after more than ten minutes of animated talking, Chen Fei finally felt satisfied and concluded his speech. "We are very grateful for Mr. Chen's detailed introduction!" the representative of the Global United Defense Committee leading the meeting quickly applauded. A warm round of applause broke out in the tent, filled with the joy of survival. Listening to others costs money, listening to this guy could cost your life! Therefore, he was sent off the stage amidst applause. The meeting continued, and next up was someone from Merman Brothers Consortium to share the latest intelligence and research findings. After the annihilation of Aircrew Base 912, the Merman Brothers Consortium immediately started an investigation, spending considerable man-hours and resources, and to this day, the investigation was still ongoing. After investing so much time and effort, the rewards were indeed substantial, even more comprehensive and detailed than what Aircrew Base 911 knew. Before Hanna Gagel personally led a team to investigate Chen Fei's landing site, the Merman Brothers Consortium had already confirmed that these mutants originated from underground. Between Aircrew Base 912 and 911, there existed an extremely complex underground space structure, the perfect hiding place for mutants. If it hadn't been for the financially robust Merman Brothers Consortium purchasing satellite remote sensing services and various geological detection devices, they wouldn't have been able to draw such a remarkable underground space structure map. Due to the complex nature of the underground environment and the limited precision of detection, the map was not completely flawless, but obtaining so much information in such a short time was already quite a feat. "...according to analysis by the Harrison Biological Research Institute of the American Federation, the gene fragments of Mutant BC-2325 contain characteristics of Hive gene fragments. However, it is currently impossible to determine whether it is a solitary or communal Hive, and hopefully, it's not the latter." In addition to the biological labs of the Global United Defense Committee, the Merman Brothers Consortium also commissioned other professional biological labs to perform a genetic sequence analysis. The complete gene sequence was sourced from Aircrew Base 911. Even though corporate warfare had not ended, intelligence sharing regarding mutants remained bidirectionally transparent, with both parties holding nothing back. Although mutant creatures are diverse, they can still be divided into solitary and social types, with further classification according to their social structures into categories such as individual, Hive, symbiotic, and associated. A Hive implies a breeding female with a professional role, often capable of an astonishing number of offspring, and a communal Hive suggests that there are at least two such females, with no upper limit, easily forming a terrifyingly large troop. The reason why Blue Star Humans dominate this planet is not only their skill at making and using tools, their establishment of an extensive and complex social division of labor and a brilliant civilization, but also a critical factor is their group numbers. The population base ensures the dominance of humans; if there were only a couple of kittens, even interstellar warships wouldn't make them the sovereign species of the planet. Building on the latest intelligence presented by the Merman Brothers Consortium, the representative of the Global United Defense Committee steered the meeting to its core issue. "Find the Hive's stronghold and destroy them!" -
