Wang Zhifan decided to have AI Xiaohong assist him at all tis, so he needed a carrier for it. Under Xiaohong’s suggestion, he opted for wearing a special smartwatch.
The watch was a high-tech, sleek silver-gray smart device, equipped with functions like projection, communication, and recording. It was powered by a cold fusion battery, and its protective casing could withstand the impact of a high-explosive bomb, making it an extrely high-end customized product.
If it weren’t for Xiaohong reminding him that there were high-end items like this in a drawer at his office, he might have forever ignored it. After all, he didn’t have a habit of wearing watches in the past, and would have likely overlooked it even if he saw it.
"Dear Commander, to operate offline anyti and anywhere, I need to transfer my entire database to the smart watch, which will take about fifteen minutes. Please be patient."
After Wang Zhifan put on the watch, AI Xiaohong began its migration process. For such advanced artificial intelligence, it required a considerable amount of ti to transfer such a massive amount of data.
"Alright, Xiaohong, don’t rush. I just have so things to finish up with, so you’ll have plenty of ti to complete the migration."
Wang Zhifan then turned his attention from the high-end smartwatch on his left hand to his secretary Catherine, who was contacting the research institute on the computer to receive the latest biological samples.
Catherine was a very perceptive woman and imdiately noticed Wang Zhifan’s gaze shift towards her. She promptly looked up and inquired with a hint of confusion:
"Dear Commander, is there anything you need?"
Wang Zhifan nodded imdiately upon hearing this, looked at the secretary with a thoughtful gaze, and asked her a rather abrupt question:
"Catherine, would you like to have superpowers?"
"Superpowers?"
Upon hearing this rare term, Catherine raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, the kind of personal power that’s hard to explain with science."
Wang Zhifan didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate about the topic, but Catherine found it a bit unreal, and then replied:
"Dear Commander, I think this topic might be too fantastical for ..."
"No, Catherine, you now have the chance to gain superpowers, and it’s very safe and speedy!
I only asked to know if you are willing to try it. If not, could you help find a few volunteers?"
Seeing that Catherine wanted to end the topic, Wang Zhifan directly stated his purpose, letting her know he was offering her a rare opportunity, and that she was free to choose whether to accept it or not.
"You’re looking for volunteers to test superpowers? According to Urban Planet’s laws, public human experints must undergo a rigorous review process and it would take at least three days to recruit people."
Catherine initially seed inclined to refuse, but the procedural hassles changed her mind. After reconsidering, she said:
"But if it’s a personal voluntary non-public human experint, it won’t be that troubleso. If you really think it’s necessary, I can be the first volunteer."
She made her decision without hesitation, demonstrating a decisive and straightforward character.
"Alright, don’t be so serious, Catherine. The superpower acquisition sche I’m talking about is already quite mature, and based on your physique, the success probability isn’t low. Please wait a mont."
Seeing that Catherine agreed, Wang Zhifan moved to a spacious area in the office, retrieved the excellent-grade Superpower Activation Device, and placed it on the ground.
This thod of retrieving objects out of thin air was quite unusual in this world, but Catherine and AI Xiaohong were accustod to it and never questioned it.
This was Wang Zhifan’s first ti seeing the full appearance of the Superpower Activation Device. Its shape resembled a large, complex restraint chair, with several lock-like objects on the armrests and pedals, and a huge fixed helt overhead, which made Catherine, who followed along, show a few hints of suspicion, feeling that what Wang Zhifan took out resembled so form of instrunt of torture.
Seeing that the Superpower Activation Device looked so uninviting, Wang Zhifan was embarrassed to ask Catherine to sit on it directly, so he sat on it himself first, then pressed the start button on the equipnt.
"Detecting superpower aptitude..."
"Detected a significant excess in your physique, suspected strong superpower potential."
"Based on the detection results, only the highest intensity and longest duration of potential stimulation has a slight chance to enhance existing superpowers. Would you like to proceed with potential stimulation?"
Upon hearing the Superpower Activation Device’s report, Wang Zhifan imdiately replied:
"Execute the high-intensity shortest duration potential stimulation for ."
The Superpower Activation Device quickly responded:
"Command confird. Executing high-intensity potential stimulation for 30 seconds."
With the command issued, Wang Zhifan’s limbs and head were firmly secured by the restraining devices on the "chair," and then the entire potential stimulator began operating, producing a buzzing sound and rhythmic high-frequency vibrations.
To an observer, Wang Zhifan seed to be seated in an electric chair, but he showed no signs of pain. When the 30-second stimulation ended, his hair remained unscorched and unkempt, looking perfectly normal.
After finishing the stimulation and stepping down from the Superpower Activation Device, Wang Zhifan addressed the slightly puzzled volunteer in front of him:
"Catherine, what I just demonstrated was a complete superpower activation process, but the stimulation intensity and ti required for each person can vary greatly. Considering your personal safety and to save ti, if the detection results are inappropriate, we can forgo the potential stimulation altogether."
