Chen Fei's brow furrowed slightly as he ventured to ask, "Is it a psychic ability?"

It wasn't the first time he had experienced this odd sensation.

The biggest difference between supernatural power users and mages is that the former can activate their abilities instantaneously, while the latter need to recite incantations or use spiritual power to draw in the Magic Element and construct a spell model.

Although supernatural abilities are convenient and have an element of surprise, they are inherently limited in their potential for growth.

Mages, as long as they have high Elemental Affinity, are able to climb higher in Rank.

"Mr. Ye is an S-class psychic ability user," the officer simply introduced him, not adding much else.

S-class and Heavenly Order are considered national treasures, not to be revealed lightly unless there is trouble that A-class and Earth Order cannot resolve, and such strategic-level talents must intervene personally.

"Oh!"

Chen Fei didn't ask any further.

Skills for power users of the same series weren't entirely identical. The last S-class psychic ability user he encountered was skilled in psychokinesis and claimed to be a "Summoner." Summoning bullets and missiles, well, that counted too!

If a "Summoner" went all out, they definitely served as a killer on the battlefield, with a hundred percent accuracy—wherever they pointed, there it would explode. As for high-explosive weapons hurled by psychokinesis, veering off by a dozen meters or even a hundred meters was no big deal. If the control power evaluation could also reach above A-class, that would be even more terrifying, capable of killing without a trace.

This Mr. Ye before him likely specialized in skills related to mental control.

The alchemical artifact headbands issued to everyone, the six magic instrument short columns, the magical bell strapped on the escort target's head, as well as the officer's "extremely dangerous" assessment left no doubt that the person shackled to the chair was a psychic power user with a significant threat capability.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such stringent defenses and personal suppression by an S-class psychic ability user, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Mr. Ye, with his hair tied up, stretched out his hand and casually lifted the target, chair and all, his expression remaining unchanged as if he was exerting no effort at all.

The six soldiers, each with a magic instrument short column, kept the two encircled tightly and moved out of the tent in lockstep, then cautiously boarded the Mobile Base Vehicle.

One could clearly sense the officer's long sigh of relief.

Chen Fei glanced at the positions of the six columns, a thought crossed his mind, and the floor subtly deformed, fixing the bottoms of the columns firmly to the floor, and the chair placed inside the vehicle was also locked in position, as if it had grown out of the floor itself.

"Thank you!"

The officer, who had been somewhat worried, now seemed to be finally able to relax.

"Do we need to make an iron cage? Or even an Iron Maiden would do."

Given the size of the Mobile Base Vehicle, improvising wouldn't affect normal driving.

"As long as it's secured, that's enough."

Realizing that the Mobile Base Vehicle was the domain of this B-class Metal Ability User, the officer thanked him again.

"No big deal!"

Chen Fei snapped his fingers.

From the roof and floor emerged several alloy rods, one inch in diameter, jutting out toward each other's territory. A twist in opposite directions naturally twisted them together into a net cage column, encasing the escort target within.

"It really is convenient!"

The officer's eyes widened in surprise, and S-class psychic ability user Mr. Ye also nodded in agreement.

Everyone was quite satisfied with this vehicle, which was comparable to a motorhome. At least there would be no supply issues on the way, and they could head straight to the destination without stopping.

Besides the escort target and S-class psychic ability user Mr. Ye, the temporary campsite at the crash site of the Ground-effect Vehicle also housed eighteen soldiers, including the officer. Each was carefully selected for their strong will and resistance to psychic attacks. Protected by various alchemical artifacts to defend against psychic attacks, this should be sufficient to ensure the smooth completion of the escort mission.

Breaking down the tent and transporting supplies took a full ten minutes. Personnel and materials were loaded onto the Mobile Base Vehicle. Although food and water were slightly scarce, with the vehicle's reserves, it should be just about enough. There was also a device capable of extracting drinkable water from the air, allowing for a continuous accumulation of potable water.

Chen Fei did not return to the driver's seat but instead ordered "Adam."

"Set the destination, dispatch the drones, let's go!"

There were no roads on the grasslands, blanketed in endless snow. Having someone drive made little difference compared to autonomous driving. The greatest significance of sitting in the driver's seat was to charge the entire vehicle and possibly activate the "Gravity Adjustment Module" skill to reduce the weight of the vehicle to a relatively low ratio. But it couldn't be directly dropped to 1%, for a gust of wind might cause the massive vehicle to drift across the snowy ground.

The Mobile Base Vehicle started moving slowly. A faint humming sound rose into the air as drones capable of staying airborne for 12 hours were sent to a height of about 500 meters, tracking every movement within a 50-kilometer radius and relaying it back to the Mobile Base Vehicle, assisting with plotting the smoothest route.

Although the grassland stretched out infinitely, there were still ravines and hills that posed difficulties for the vehicle. Without a pre-planned navigation scheme, detours could be quite time-consuming.

Five pairs of load-bearing wheels supported the 20-meter-long body of the vehicle. Linear and balanced acceleration gave off a sense of stability and comfort, with minimal jostling.

Hearing Chen Fei's mutter to himself, the officer ventured to ask, "Is this vehicle AI-driven?" He initially thought the other would pilot it himself.

Vehicle with autonomous driving were quite common, but he didn't expect such a behemoth to also have its own navigation AI.

"Yeah! Want something to drink? We've got everything on board!"

Chen Fei usually made sure to stock up for his younger sister's school. Although a Magic Cube Warship had delivered him to the grassland, the vehicle's refrigerator was full of various fresh vegetables, and the freezer was packed with meat.

As for storable foods like compressed biscuits and canned meat, the inventory hadn't been touched at all.

"Do you have tea leaves, green tea would be fine!"

The officer saw Chen Fei open the cabinet, where various jars of tea leaves and coffee – a dozen types of tea products – were stored.

"Mr. Ye, and the rest of you?"

Chen Fei's gaze shifted from the S-class Psychic Ability User, who remained cross-legged next to the cage, to the soldiers.

Everyone is a man-eater flower of the motherland, except Chen Xiao'er, who bloomed outside the local soil, so there's no need for formalities; there is always common ground.

Mr. Ye spoke with an air of nonchalance, "Green tea will do!"

His ethereal temperament was completely out of place among the soldiers.

"Green tea" ×17!

Like the officer, the soldiers had a unanimous opinion.

"What about that guy?"

Chen Fei pointed to the cage's inhabitant, who was shackled and motionless, silent for the entire duration.

Mr. Ye said, "Don't bother; he doesn't need to eat or excrete."

Since he had no physiological needs for eating, drinking, or excretion, it indeed saved trouble.

"Understood!"

Chen Fei started looking for cups.

"Chirp!"

Little Bird flew out of its nest, not at all shy as it looked around at everyone and the uninvited guest enclosed in the cage.

It perched on an alloy bar of the cage, tilting its tiny head as it scrutinized the individual whose head was trapped under the magical bell.

"Chirp!"

The little one fluffed up, seemingly sensing a threat, its tiny sharp beak beginning to simmer with the glow of death.

At close range with full power, it feared it might turn the inmate of the cage completely to ashes.

"Chen Fei, control your bird; it can't kill the transportation target yet, it's not time."

Mr. Ye's face changed shades; he did not doubt the potency of the little one's laser to kill.

A laser beam deadly enough to be lethal often does not require very high power; it was indeed the first time encountering a Pure Light Sparrow with this capability.

Such seemingly harmless Little Birds had the potential to become so terrifying.

"Xiao Jiu! Come here!"

As Chen Fei prepared the water and washed the cups, he called out.

The flickering death light instantly extinguished, and Xiao Jiu fluttered to Chen Fei's shoulder, affectionately pecking at his ear.

The Little Bird was still very obedient.

"A Third Rank Pure Light Sparrow of the Human Order, that's quite rare!"

As an S-class ability user and a strategic level talent of sovereignty, he naturally had the insight and had identified Xiao Jiu's rank, just as described in the introduction.

Even on Cangqiong Star, the Pure Light Sparrow never reached such heights. If its bloodline potential was high enough, and it returned to the environment of Cangqiong Star where Magic Element was particularly active, it might be possible to advance another rank in a short time.

Because the activity levels of Elemental Series energy differed between worlds, ability users from Cangqiong Star would come to Blue Star to break through training plateaus, adapting to the environment and accumulating experience before returning to Cangqiong Star to attempt breakthroughs.

Chen Fei teased the Little Bird and tentatively asked, "Can you tell me about the person in the cage?"

The officer and the S-class Psychic Ability User exchanged glances; the latter nodded faintly, and the former spoke, "Hmm! Some information can be disclosed; he is a Psychic Power User who has lost control."@@novelbin@@

Chen Fei guessed, "Ineffective Supernatural Ability Suppressant?"

The best tool against ability users was the Supernatural Ability Suppressant; although there had been cases of ineffectiveness, they were extremely rare, not even one in ten years, and mostly involved low-level ability users. Even when ineffective, they did not pose much threat or damage.

Supernatural Ability Suppressants worked like a catalyst; the higher the Superpower Level, the more pronounced the suppression.

"That's right! Even anesthetics are ineffective!"

The officer nodded, confirming Chen Fei's speculation.

Chen Fei exclaimed, "That's impressive!"

He himself was immune to Supernatural Ability Suppressants but not to anesthetic drugs, which could easily knock him out with a single shot.

"With such heavy guard, then his Superpower Level..."

Chen Fei's voice took on the tone of a sharp intake of breath.

Hiss hiss hiss...
