All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Wang Zhifan decided to let the artificial intelligence Xiaohong assist him at all times, so he had to give it a carrier. So, at Xiaohong's suggestion, he adopted the method of wearing a special smart watch.

This watch looks like a high-tech silver-gray smart watch with built-in projection, communication, recording and other functions. It uses cold fusion batteries for energy and its protective casing can withstand the power of high-explosive bombs. It is an extremely high-end custom-made product.

If Xiaohong hadn't reminded him that there was such a high-end product for captains in a drawer in his office, he would probably have always ignored it. After all, he had no habit of wearing a watch in the past, and even if he saw it, he would choose to ignore it.

"Master, in order to be able to run offline anytime and anywhere, I need to copy all my databases to the smart table. This will take about fifteen minutes. Please be patient."

After Wang Zhifan put on the watch, AI Xiaohong started moving. For a high-end artificial intelligence like this, it takes enough time to migrate the huge amount of data.

"Well, don't worry, Xiao Hong. I just happen to have some things I need to finish, which will definitely be enough for you to complete the move."

After listening to this, Wang Zhifan stopped paying attention to the high-end smart watch on his left hand, and turned to look at his secretary Catherine, who was contacting the research institute on the computer to send someone to receive the latest biological samples.

Catherine was a very perceptive woman. She immediately noticed that Wang Zhifan's eyes had shifted to her. She immediately raised her head and asked with a hint of confusion:
"Master, do you have any instructions?"

Wang Zhifan nodded immediately after hearing this, looked at the secretary thoughtfully, and asked her a rather abrupt question:
"Catherine, do you want to have super powers?"

"Ability?"

Catherine raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard him mention this very rare word.

"Yes, it's the kind of personal power that is hard to explain scientifically."

Wang Zhifan didn't think there was anything wrong with this topic, but Catherine felt a little speechless and replied:

"Master, I think this topic may be a little too imaginary for me..."

“No, Catherine, you have the opportunity to gain superpowers right now, and it’s very safe and quick!
I'm just asking you if you're willing to try it, and if not, could you help me find a few volunteers? "

Seeing that Catherine wanted to end the topic, Wang Zhifan directly stated his purpose, letting her know that he was providing her with a rare opportunity and that she could freely choose whether to accept it or not.

"You're looking for volunteers to test superpowers? According to the laws of the city planet, public human experiments must go through a strict review process, and it will take at least three days to recruit people."

Catherine seemed to subconsciously choose to refuse after hearing this, but the trouble with the time program made her change her mind. After thinking for a while, she said:

"But it wouldn't be that troublesome if an individual volunteered to do a private human experiment. If you think it's really necessary, I can be the first volunteer."

She made decisions without hesitation, showing her decisive and efficient personality.

"Okay, don't be so serious, Catherine. The method I mentioned for acquiring superpowers is actually quite mature. Given your physique, the chances of success are not low. Please wait a moment."

Seeing that Catherine agreed, Wang Zhifan walked to a spacious space in the office, took out the excellent-level supernatural power stimulation device and placed it on the ground.

His method of taking things out of thin air is very unreasonable in this world, but Catherine and AI Xiaohong have long been accustomed to it, and have tacitly not asked any more questions.

This was also the first time that Wang Zhifan saw the full picture of the supernatural power stimulation device. Its shape looked very much like a complicated large restraint chair, with several lock-like things on the armrests and pedals, and a huge fixed helmet on the head. Catherine, who followed him, couldn't help but look a little suspicious, feeling that what Wang Zhifan took out was a bit like some kind of torture device.

Seeing that the supernatural power stimulation device looked so unappealing, Wang Zhifan was embarrassed to let Catherine sit on it directly, so he went up and sat down first, then pressed the start button on the instrument.

"Testing for supernatural ability..."

"It has been detected that your physical condition is significantly above the standard, and you are suspected to be a powerful psychic."

"According to the test results, only the highest level of potential stimulation for the longest time has a small chance of improving existing abilities. Do you want to perform the potential stimulation?"

After listening to the test report of the supernatural power stimulation device, Wang Zhifan immediately replied:
"Give me the highest level of potential stimulation for the shortest time."

Then the power-stimulating device quickly responded with a voice:
"Command confirmed. Advanced strength potential stimulation will be performed for 30 seconds."

As the command was given, Wang Zhifan, who was sitting on the "chair", had his limbs and head tightly wrapped by restraints, and then the entire potential stimulator started to operate, emitting a buzzing sound and regular high-frequency vibrations.

It looked like Wang Zhifan was sitting on an electric chair, but he did not show any sign of pain. When the half-minute stimulation was over, his hair did not smoke or stand up, and it was still as normal as it was at the beginning.

After the stimulation was over and he got off the supernatural power stimulation device, Wang Zhifan said to the volunteer lady in front of him who looked a little puzzled:
"Catherine, what I just demonstrated is a complete process of stimulating your ability. However, the intensity and duration of stimulation required by each person will vary greatly. Considering your personal safety and saving time, if the test results are not suitable, just give up the potential stimulation."

The frank demonstration and caring words immediately gave courage to Catherine, who was still a little nervous. She believed that her most trusted boss would not harm her, so she quickly sat on it and started the testing procedure.

"Testing for supernatural ability..."

"It has been detected that your physique meets the standards and you are not a supernatural person."

"Based on the test results, it is recommended to perform a medium-level long-term or high-level short-term potential stimulation, which will have a greater chance of stimulating superpowers."

As soon as the test results came out, Wang Zhifan, who was watching from the side, suddenly had his eyes light up, thinking to himself:

"My idea was right. People like Catherine from the interstellar world are very suitable for using this supernatural power stimulation device because the replica world where it was produced has a similar world view setting. The two are naturally compatible."

So, under Wang Zhifan's expectant gaze, the brave secretary sitting on the electric chair-like device gave the order without hesitation:

"Please perform high-level, short-term potential stimulation."

The ability-stimulating device immediately responded:
"Command confirmed. According to the test results, you will be given high-level potential stimulation for 7 minutes and 34 seconds."

Then, the potential stimulation process that Wang Zhifan had demonstrated before was repeated on Catherine, except that it took Catherine a little longer, nearly eight minutes.

Wang Zhifan waited patiently during this period. On the one hand, he carefully sensed Catherine's physical condition to prevent any unexpected situations. On the other hand, he carefully observed the process of the supernatural power stimulation device taking effect, and deepened his understanding of the device from the perspective of an observer. "Catherine is a human being who has been improved by many generations of biotechnology in this world. Her physical fitness is stronger than many professional athletes on Earth. She should be able to withstand high-intensity potential stimulation. I wonder what supernatural power she can obtain..."

When things got to this point, Wang Zhifan predicted that Catherine would successfully activate her superpowers and get a good start in the experiment.

It's not that he has the ability to predict the future, but he chose to test the superpower-stimulating device on the urban planet because he expected that the humans here would have the greatest hope of stimulating superpowers, allowing him to see the test results as quickly as possible.

The reason is the same as mentioned before, that is, the world view of the urban planet is very similar to the copy world produced by the supernatural power stimulation device.

Wang Zhifan felt that the probability of failure would be much greater if he conducted experiments on Earth, which has not yet truly entered the interstellar age.

As time passed, Wang Zhifan gradually discovered through his close perception that some changes had occurred in Catherine's body while she was sitting in the restraint device.

Specifically, a special energy that did not exist in her body was generated, and this energy was slowly growing and began to flow and merge, like streams gathering into a small river.

"This feeling of energy... could it be the Force?"

For a moment, Wang Zhifan remembered his experience in the previous copy. He had seen something similar when he was fighting against several psychics. Later he learned that it was the most common Force power.

After a while, the supernatural power activation device finally finished operating and released Catherine's body from its restraints.

But Catherine was obviously not used to the changes in her body. She stood up and said in a very puzzled tone:
"Master, I feel like I've become a little different, but it's a little hard to describe exactly where I'm different..."

"Yes, Catherine, you are right. Just look at your feet and you will understand everything."

Wang Zhifan, who had been observing from the side, smiled and replied, raising his hand to point out someone who had neglected something because of confusion.

After hearing this, Catherine immediately lowered her head and looked down, which almost scared her.

Because she suddenly realized that she was not standing firmly on the ground, but was floating steadily in the air with her toes touching the ground. However, she did not feel any effort and did not notice anything unusual.

"This is... the superpower I gained? The power to levitate and move? An ability related to magnetism or gravity?"

She then followed her feeling and raised her body further, until her feet were completely off the ground. She then tried to move slowly in the air, forward, backward, left and right. Realizing that she really had gained magical powers, her expression instantly showed a bit of excitement, but also a hint of helplessness.

"Your ability should not only allow you to levitate, Catherine. Try to pick up your file on the table over there through the air."

After hearing this, Wang Zhifan immediately gave suggestions.

He wasn't entirely sure what the power she had acquired was, but it was most likely the Force, a common power that behaved a bit like gravity and magnetism, but was more manipulative.

"Okay, Mr. Captain, I'll give it a try."

Catherine then remained suspended in the air and stretched out her hand to grab the report document on the table more than ten meters away.

But the process did not seem to be going smoothly. She did not immediately pick up the documents on the table. Instead, the table top began to shake continuously, and a water cup on it almost fell over. She was so scared that she quickly used her special powers to straighten the cup.

"Very good! Catherine, you are very lucky to have awakened the power of the Force! If you practice more in the future, you will definitely find that it has a variety of practical uses!"

After seeing this, Wang Zhifan was basically certain that Catherine had really awakened the Force. The reason was that the control of the Force required a lot of skill, and those who had just awakened it would feel a little uncomfortable, but once they became proficient, it would be a whole new world.

Of course, there are huge upper and lower limits to the strength of psychics.

Especially those with Force abilities, the strongest of whom are said to be able to easily explode stars, while the weakest are almost the same as ordinary people without the Force.

Judging from Catherine's current performance, she is definitely not the weakest one, but she is also far from the strongest. She is probably at a normal level of lower-middle level.

Catherine's initial novelty had passed. She also put her feet on the ground and frowned in deep thought. She said to Wang Zhifan hesitantly and slowly:

"Master, I never thought that the supernatural power you mentioned would actually appear in me...

This makes me feel a little confused. I am willing to contribute to the development of the urban planet, but I don’t really want to be an individual being studied in a laboratory..."

"Haha, you are the secretary of the captain. Who would dare to capture you for research? I can guarantee that such a thing will never happen!"

Wang Zhifan immediately made a promise, asking the female secretary in front of him to stop daydreaming, and then proposed a new idea he had come up with:

"I feel that the superpower volunteer program you just mentioned needs to be planned in advance. Perhaps forming a superpower army and developing superpowers for the entire population is more promising than engaging in biological research projects.

But the premise is to ensure confidentiality and security. It is best to use another name to do this in the early stage. When you have free time, you can try to write a plan, but there is no need to rush to complete it..."

As for expanding the population of people with superpowers, it is obvious to the naked eye that it is a double-edged sword, so Wang Zhifan will be very cautious in this regard and will not act recklessly on a whim and bring additional troubles to the urban planet.

"Master, I will consider this carefully. I believe that your device has great potential both in business and military..."

Catherine, who had become a superpower, expressed a similar opinion after hearing this and glanced at the superpower activation device beside her. She decided to take action after completing the plan.

Coincidentally, at this time, Xiaohong, the artificial intelligence in the office, notified it that the data migration had been completed and it could serve Wang Zhifan anytime and anywhere in the future.

It also reminded the two of an external piece of information that they had overlooked, which was that personnel from the institute who were specifically responsible for escorting biological samples would arrive soon.

Wang Zhifan then had a brief discussion with Catherine, put away the supernatural power device, and chose to leave this world. At the same time, he wore a special smart watch loaded with advanced artificial intelligence Xiaohong, which made up for his shortcomings. (End of this chapter)
