Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 964 Mental Power Activator
"Hello, this is the after-sales service center of Fuyuan Supermarket. Do you have any questions or feedback?"

The office of Fuyuan Supermarket was located in the building closest to the base's official office building. At this time, the after-sales department received a complaint call.

"You said someone is reselling vegetables from the original growers? You suspect there's a mole within our supermarket? Here's the thing, sir, this is the first time we've received a report like this. Could you provide some concrete evidence?"

"You said the evidence has been sent to our mailbox, right? Okay, I will report this matter immediately. Our company will definitely investigate this matter as soon as possible and give you and other consumers a fair judgment."

The after-sales staff hung up the phone and immediately reported the matter to their supervisor, Huang Xiao. Huang Xiao, however, didn't take it seriously. Having lived in a peaceful society before the apocalypse, he was used to such things. The presence of scalpers proved their vegetables were popular.

To be honest, he didn't quite understand why the company set the price of vegetables so low, when they could sell them very well even if the price were five or ten times higher.

If he weren't worried about losing his job after the incident, he would have loved to become a scalper.

With that in mind, Huang Xiao did not report it. He simply asked a few people from the after-sales department to go outside and inquire about the situation. If they really encountered it, they should arrest it and send it to the patrol team. If they couldn't catch it, then so be it.

It's not a big deal anyway. If someone's willing to be a sucker and buy vegetables from scalpers, then let them be.

He's so busy every day, he doesn't have time to worry about these things.

After making the call to report the incident, Fan Lin felt refreshed. He didn't answer Fang Yanlei's call.

"Fan Lin, where are you? Quickly bring you to the square, everyone is waiting for you!"

Fan Lin then remembered that they were supposed to go to the Yandong base today. It was all that damned scalper's fault; he had been angry all night and had forgotten such an important thing.

"Little One, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, we're about to set off. Are you all ready?"

"Alright, boss, come quick, we've been waiting for you." Downstairs, five goofy guys were sitting in an SUV when Fan Lin greeted them.

Fan Lin grabbed the lettuce he hadn't finished eating yesterday, climbed out the window, and jumped out. He glared at the others, then got into the passenger seat.

"Hurry up! The dog's urging us to leave!"

"Huh? Boss? Who's Dog?"

"That dog Fang Yanlei!"

"Oh."

When Fan Lin and his group arrived at the base square, they found Yuan Muxia there as well. She was standing with the base leaders, and they didn't know what to say.

Fan Lin nudged Fang Yanlei, "Hey, why is Yuan Muxia here? Is she going to the Yan Dong base too?"

Fang Yanlei frowned. Why did he see expectation in the other person's eyes? Was he mistaken? "I don't know."

"Has the Kuki Squad arrived?"

"We've arrived," Fan Lin replied quickly.

"Come and collect your supplies quickly," said the uniformed staff member.

Fan Lin raised an eyebrow. The base was actually issuing supplies this time? When did their base become so rich? Despite his wild thoughts, he acted with incredible speed.

The staff checked the information. "This is a seven-day supply of nutritional blocks for six people with superpowers. In addition, this is a superpower supplement sponsored by the Lou family. It was developed by the Lou family laboratory and has excellent effects. It is also a six-person supply. Please check carefully and sign."

Fan Lin took the autograph book and looked at the power-boosting supplements in the supply pack with surprise. When did the Lou family develop such research results?
Now was not the time to overthink it. He signed his name, picked up the supply pack, and returned to his car.

Someone whispered something in Han Shanyue's ear, and he picked up the microphone again, said a few words of encouragement, and then announced that the rescue team was setting off. Shi Jia stood quietly at the back, watching the cars leave the square, before returning to the base office building with Yuan Lei and the others.

She had just arrived at the farm this morning when she received a call from Yuan Lei.

He said the mental energy stimulation device had been successfully tested and asked her to come and see it. So she fed the wheat in the field and the crops in the greenhouse some of her supernatural abilities and hurried back to the base.

To their surprise, upon arrival they found Han Shanyue and Yuan Lei, the two base commanders, holding a mobilization meeting.

"Xiaxia, sorry to keep you waiting. Let's get to the conference room quickly; the experts have been waiting for quite some time," Han Shanyue said with a smile.

The group arrived at the conference room in a grand procession, where seven or eight researchers were fiddling with a high-tech helmet.

"Is this a mental energy activator?" Shi Jia looked on curiously.

"Yes, Miss Yuan... Oh, the base commander is here too, please take a look." The leading expert was the same kind old man from last time. He originally wanted to show the helmet to Shi Jia, but when he saw Han Shanyue, he turned away.

"Mr. Ren, it's been a long time. You still look as energetic as ever."

Han Shanyue took the helmet and looked it over. Needless to say, it was gorgeous on the outside, but apart from a few metal plates on the inside, it was not much different from an ordinary helmet.

"Is this a mental energy stimulator?" Han Shanyue expressed doubt. This can stimulate mental energy?
Seeing his expression, Master Ren knew his suspicion. "Yes, don't be fooled by the helmet's unremarkable appearance. It actually contains a sophisticated circuit structure and a mental crystal core."

"We've expended a lot of manpower on this crystal core," Old Ren said with a smile, clearly believing it was all worthwhile.

Han Shanyue nodded. "Has it been tested?"

Mr. Ren nodded confidently, “Yes, it has undergone clinical trials. 59 people participated in the trials, and 30 of them awakened their spiritual power, with an awakening rate of 50.8%.”

Han Shanyue was even more surprised, "Someone has already awakened?" How come we haven't heard a word about it? The research institute's secrecy is really too good.

“Yes, all those involved in the experiment are staff members from our research institute.” Old Ren saw through Han Shanyue’s thoughts at a glance.

Han Shanyue stared wide-eyed at the seemingly dazed researchers before him, finding it hard to believe that one of them was a spiritual awakener. "Then why didn't you report it?"

Old Ren shook his head, looking disappointed. "But according to the original girl, everyone has spiritual power. A 50% awakening rate is still too low. We have tried for a long time but have not been able to improve it."

“So, we want to let Miss Yuan see how to improve this mental power awakening device.” Old Ren looked at Shi Jia.

When Shi Jia heard this data, he was somewhat surprised. These scientists' abilities were truly remarkable. They had developed the mental power awakening device so quickly, and with such a high success rate.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Jia. Facing such gazes, Shi Jia was naturally not uncomfortable. She said, "Although everyone has spiritual power, not everyone can awaken it. After all, spiritual power varies in strength. If it is too weak, it cannot be awakened."

Therefore, even the most advanced equipment cannot awaken everyone.

"A 50% chance is already pretty good."

But clearly her explanation did not satisfy Professor Ren and the other researchers. Professor Ren stared intently at Shi Jia.

"Well, if we really have to improve it, it's not impossible." Shi Jia said helplessly, picking up the helmet and probing it with his mental energy. Instantly, the helmet lit up with a dazzling light.

"This, this, is this seventh-order? Or eighth-order?" They didn't know what seventh-order or eighth-order mental power was like, but when designing the helmet, they designed a mental power sensing area based on the general level of superpowers.

The brighter the futuristic light strip on the helmet's surface, the stronger the mental power.
