Capital Star, Aimiu Palace.

With a loud 'clang', Xia Yuanhan overturned the coffee table in front of him, and the objects on the coffee table rolled to the ground.

Fan Xiu shuddered subconsciously and was hit on the forehead by a small object that flew out from the coffee table.

The Second Prince was now in a state of rage, and Fan Xiu did not dare to make even a sound, for fear that the other party would vent his anger on him.

Xia Yuanhan's chest rose and fell violently. He glared at the projection in the center of the room and gritted his teeth, "Didn't you say that no one could heal Alpha? What's going on now?!"

"Calm down." The mechanical voice still sounded cold. "The appearance of such a person was something none of us could have expected, and it's not something I want to see."

Xia Yuanhan said coldly: "Do I want to see it?"

"Xia Yuanhan." The projection figure took two steps forward and stopped one step away from Xia Yuanhan. "The most urgent thing is to change the strategy in time and make a new plan instead of venting your emotions here."

"New plan?" Xia Yuanhan repeated, "You say it easily, then tell me, in which direction should our new plan go?"

He sneered and said, "The most critical step in the original plan has been interrupted. Now everyone is following the lead of Lin Anan. He is their light, the savior of the world, and the hope to save them from the water and fire—"

"And what about me?" Xia Yuanhan couldn't hold back his anger. He raised his hand and waved it, causing the books on the shelf beside him to fall down. "And I'm just a, ah, a coward who only knows how to hide in the palace and doesn't even dare to send a research team to the Sin Star!"

The mechanical voice said: "No one on Starnet says that about you."

"They didn't say that, they just feared my identity." Xia Yuanhan curled his lips, "I don't know how many people think so, but they don't dare to say it."

"You have decided to send a team to Sin Star, haven't you?" the mechanical voice said, "In that case, why don't we take advantage of the situation and carefully select the team members."

Xia Yuanhan: "Of course I know I have to screen carefully, but in this situation, even if I go to the Sin Star myself, I will never be the savior."

The mechanical voice stopped talking.

"Lanster, this is different from what we agreed on." Xia Yuanhan took a step forward, almost sticking to the projected portrait. "In the spiritual power contract we signed, you help me become the master of the entire galaxy, and I will help you place the Kylo Stone and find the right person for you to transform into an evolved human—"

"But now, I have helped you place the Kailuo Stone, but the position of the Lord of the Stars is still a long way off." Xia Yuanhan's eyes gradually turned cold, "Lanster, have you forgotten that those who violate the spiritual power contract will be backfired by the contract."

The projection person named Lanster said: "Of course I remember. The content of the spiritual power contract was drafted by us together. How could I forget it?"

Xia Yuanhan nodded: "Just remember it."

He turned around and instructed Fan Xiu to pick up the coffee table he had overturned. Without even turning his head, he said, "In that case, come over and discuss the next plan with me."

However, what Xia Yuanhan did not see was that Lanster, who was standing behind him with an extremely cold expression on his face, suddenly revealed a strange smile.

Mental power contract?

How could this kind of thing from a lower galaxy possibly affect a fully-formed cyborg?

The one-week time interval was up, and Lin Anan immediately drank a portion of purple medicine.

The energy core that had been empty for several days was filled again. Lin Anan closed his eyes and felt it, and suddenly exclaimed in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Feng Wu, who had been guarding him, asked immediately, "Is there anything wrong?"

"This time, my supernatural powers have only recovered less than 40%." Lin Anan frowned and subconsciously looked down at the empty potion bottle.

The purple medicine he drank last time fully restored 50% of his supernatural powers. The effects of the same potion should not be so different.

If it's not a problem with the medicine, then the problem must be with himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Anan's heart tightened.

...Please don't let anything go wrong at such a critical moment.

Feng Wu saw his worry and gently pressed his shoulder: "Don't be afraid."

These two short words instantly calmed Lin Anan down. He nodded, closed his eyes again and began to check the condition of the energy core.

After a moment, he uttered another "eh".

But this time, the voice was full of disbelief and a hint of surprise.

Seeing him open his eyes, Feng Wu asked: "How is it?"

"The capacity of the energy core... has expanded." Lin Anan murmured in shock, and quickly checked again, "It really has expanded!"

No wonder the same potion could restore 50% before, but only 40% today, because the upper limit of the supernatural power has been raised.

Lin Anan was extremely surprised, yet a little confused.

Generally speaking, the capacity of the superpower core is basically fixed after adulthood. If you want to increase the capacity of the superpower core, the best age range is from awakening the superpower to adulthood.

After that, if you want to increase the capacity of your energy core, you can only use drugs to force it open up. But this method is not only ineffective, but it may also cause irreversible damage to the body, so almost no one will choose to use it.

Now, as an adult, not only has the capacity of his supernatural core increased, but he has not taken any medicine.

This natural expansion of the superpower core usually only occurs before adulthood.

Feng Wu also understood this, of course. He asked, "Do you feel any discomfort now?"

"No." Lin Anan shook her head. "I'm in very good condition now, even better than before this overdraft."

"Then you don't have to worry for now." Feng Wu said, "You awakened your superpowers after you became an adult. Maybe because of this, your superpower core is still in its growth stage and there is still room for expansion."

Lin Anan's eyes lit up: "You are right."

His superpowers awakened later than everyone else, so the superpower core in his body is actually still in its growth stage, or even in its infancy.

In this case—

"Brother Wolf, wait for me for a moment." Lin Anan said, sitting back at the medicine table and starting writing and drawing on the terminal screen.

Feng Wu leaned over to take a look: "Is this... a medicinal herb?"

"That's right." Lin Anan answered while drawing, "These herbs can nourish the superpower core. If used during the growth stage of the superpower core, they can increase the capacity of the superpower core and help strengthen and stabilize the core wall of the superpower core."

"Okay." Feng Wu nodded, "Give me a copy after you finish drawing it, and I'll have someone go buy these herbs."

Lin Anan smiled at him: "Thank you, Brother Wolf."

The boy's smile was extremely brilliant, and his black pupils looked a little brighter than usual because of his joy.

Feng Wu swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling back and forth uncontrollably. He looked away and whispered, "You...you don't have to say thank you to me all the time."

However, his voice was too low, and Lin Anan was concentrating on organizing the list of herbs, so she didn't hear what he said clearly.

"Brother Wolf, what did you say?" The boy took the time to look at him, "I didn't hear clearly."

Feng Wu paused: "...Nothing."

Lin Anan said "oh", then quickly raised her head and said, "It's done. I'll send you an electronic copy later. I'll also send a copy to Grandpa He. Maybe if you're lucky you can find it in the countryside of Sin Star."

"Okay." Feng Wudao glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time, let's go eat first."

When the two went downstairs, they happened to meet Xiong Yingjun and Zhang Yifeng who were rushing back home from outside.

"Where's Brother Squid?" Lin Anan didn't see Uhura behind them, "Hasn't he come back yet?"

"He's still guarding the crack in the ground." Zhang Yifeng said, "It's a shift system. We'll pack a portion for him after we finish eating."

Xiong Yingjun patted his chest and said, "That's right, he's there at noon, and I'm there at night. Don't worry, Anzi, we won't let anyone get close to that crack in the ground!"

Lin Anan patted Xiong Yingjun on the shoulder with difficulty and said, "Well done, thank you for your hard work!"

Si Youlin made bone soup at noon, and now the whole house is filled with the delicious aroma of the bone soup.

Feng Wu went to the kitchen to help out: "It will probably take more than ten minutes before we can have dinner."

There was a unanimous response from the living room.

Bai Yue was still watching her favorite "Cat Adventures", and a group of people were sitting on the sofa watching TV with her.

Gu Yubai was holding her brother and sister, with the terminal screen on her wrist lit up. She pursed her lips, not knowing what news she had seen, and her expression looked a little serious.

"Brother Xiong, come with me." Lin Anan waved to Xiong Yingjun.

Hearing this, Xiong Yingjun, who had stolen a piece of barbecue in the kitchen, came over and said, "An An, what's the matter?"

"My abilities have recovered a little." Lin Anan said, "Let's go upstairs and help you treat Alpha."

Xiong Yingjun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay!"

Ever since he came back from the crack in the ground that day, all the hair on Xiong Yingjun's body fell out, not a single hair was left, even his eyebrows were gone.

A face without eyebrows looks strange, so Shi Xiaoxing donated his makeup tools and took on the task of drawing eyebrows for Xiong Yingjun every day.

Xiong Yingjun was very resistant at first, until he realized that his loss of eyebrows almost scared Xiao Baiyue to tears, and then he obediently accepted Shi Xiaoxing's kindness.

Fortunately, Shi Xiaoxing's makeup skills are really good, and she restored Xiong Yingjun's eyebrows 100% to their original state, which made Xiong Yingjun quite satisfied.

The way upstairs was not far. Xiong Yingjun chattered with Lin Anan about the miserable life after losing his fur.

Finally he asked: "An An, after my Alpha symptoms are cured, will my hair grow back immediately?"

"That may not work." Lin Anan said, "Recovering from Alpha symptoms can only stop you from losing hair like before, but there is no way to make your hair grow quickly. Growing hair still needs to be done slowly."

The light in Xiong Yingjun's eyes suddenly dimmed, as if life had lost hope.

Lin Anan patted his arm comfortingly: "The ingredients for the hair growth potion are incomplete, so it can't be made for the time being. But you can talk to Brother Snake and ask him to make you some hair-nourishing food. Maybe it can speed up the growth of hair."

"Well then." Xiong Yingjun was still listless, "By this calculation, Old Four will have to laugh at me for a long time."

Lin Anan curled her eyes.

The treatment went very smoothly and the two of them went downstairs before dinner.

Si Youlin placed a large pot of bone soup on the dining table. When he saw Xiong Yingjun coming down from upstairs, he raised an eyebrow: "What? Alpha wasn't cured?"

Xiong Yingjun immediately retorted: "It's cured! Anzi said that my hair will grow back soon!"

"It will take some time--" Si Youlin's drawn-out tone earned him an angry glare from Xiong Yingjun, unsurprisingly.

He smiled and stopped teasing the simple-minded big guy.

After lunch, Zhang Yifeng carried Wuhula's lunch and went out with Feng Wu.

What surprised Lin Anan was that they met several people on the road, and they seemed to be heading in the same direction as them.

"There are often people watching the fun near the crack during this period." Zhang Yifeng said, "Some people even tried to touch the supernatural protective layer you set up, but they were stopped by Wuhura and Xiong Yingjun."

Lin Anan, who had turned into a little cub, was a little surprised: [What's so exciting and interesting about this? Aren't they afraid that the protective layer will crack? ]

Zhang Yifeng looked at him and asked, "Will it crack?"

[Normally, this wouldn't happen.] Lin Anan said, [But the appearance of this crack in the ground is not normal.]

"That's up to them." Zhang Yifeng suddenly laughed, "You may not have noticed, but most of the people on Sin Star, or in other words, the people in the entire galaxy, trust you very much."

Feng Wu glanced at him: "Zhang Yifeng."

Zhang Yifeng raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

Being trusted by others is a good thing, but if you are trusted by too many people, it is likely to bring too much pressure and burden.

Feng Wu looked down with some worry, fearing that Lin Anan would put more psychological pressure on him on top of this.

Unexpectedly, the little boy not only did not feel the pressure, but he straightened his chest and said proudly: [There is no way, I am trustworthy. ]

Zhang Yifeng chuckled and gave Feng Wu a sidelong glance that said 'just look at it'.

Feng Wu was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly curled his lips and smiled.

He underestimated Lin Anan. His Third Prince was stronger and more outstanding than he thought.

Feng Wu and Zhang transformed into their second form with the wind, while Lin Anan was still as comfortable as before, curled up in the thick wolf fur.

The three of them soon arrived at the crack in the ground.

A giant squid was guarding the crack. In addition to the squid, there were many strange figures, who were just like Uhura, standing guard for the crack.

Zhang Yifeng explained: [The Lord of City C sent some people to guard the crack with us, and some people were enthusiastic people in the suburbs. They said they wanted to thank you for saving their lives, so they came to help spontaneously.]

As they were talking, a familiar black panther suddenly rushed towards them from the crack in the ground.

Feng Wu subconsciously entered a state of alert, his muscles tensed, and he looked at the charging black panther vigilantly.

Lin Anan poked her head out from the thick and soft wolf fur and felt that the black panther seemed a little familiar.

The black panther stopped just in front of Feng Wushen. He seemed a little nervous, and his eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Lin Anan.

As if feeling that the second form was not appropriate, the black panther suddenly transformed into a young man.

He rubbed his hands nervously and said, "Before...thank you, Anzi, for saving me."

Lin Anan looked at him for a moment, her gaze lingering on the scars on the young man's exposed skin, and she immediately remembered the young man's identity.

——This was the first person he and Brother Xiong rescued on the way to the crevice, the black panther with wounds all over its body and bleeding profusely.

Lin Anan smiled at him friendly: [You're welcome.]

Black Panther smiled shyly: "My name is Han Qing. If you need anything in the future, you can always come to me."

【Okay.】Lin Anan nodded.

After getting Lin Anan's consent, Han Qing was so excited that his face turned red. A blush floated across his dark face, making him look silly.

Uhura had already eaten the hot meal brought by Zhang Yifeng. Zhang Yifeng changed back into human form and stood beside the crack in the ground, staring straight at the bright green surface, wondering what he was thinking.

"You are planning to go down and take a look, right?" Zhang Yifeng asked.

Lin Anan jumped off the wolf's back: [To be exact, I went down alone. ]

As soon as these words were spoken, Uhura stopped eating, Zhang Yifeng frowned at him, and Feng Wu also turned back into human form.

The three of them said almost at the same time: "No."

The little cub looked up: "???"

Why doesn't it work?

[There are alpha energy waves under the cracks in the ground.] Lin Anan explained, [I don’t know what will happen if I get close to the source of the energy waves. It’s safest for me to go down.]

Zhang Yifeng said seriously, "You are right. No one knows what will happen if you get in close contact, so don't go."

Uhura swallowed the meat in his mouth: "An An, it's too dangerous for you to be alone."

Feng Wu frowned and thought for a moment: "Can the supernatural protective shield you set up for us before be made into a movable version?"

[Sure.] Lin Anan said, [Do you want to go down with me with the protective shield?]

Feng Wu nodded: "From the beginning I thought we were going down together."

The little cub opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something.

Feng Wu didn't give him a chance: "If I don't go, you can't go either."

His attitude was very firm and left no room for rebuttal.

Lin Anan had no choice but to say: [Okay then.]

The little cub jumped forward and was caught in Feng Wu's palm. The soft green light, the same color as the surface of the crack in the ground, quickly enveloped Feng Wu's body and slowly adhered to his skin.

[We will drive the Silver Armor down.] Lin Anan said, [After we go down, if we feel uncomfortable, we will immediately let the Silver Armor take us out of the crack.]

Feng Wu said nothing and immediately released the silver armor from the space.

Silver Armor's eyes flickered, as if greeting them.

Uhura exclaimed, "How cool!"

Zhang Yifeng punched him on the head: "Don't look at it, you have it too."

"How can they be the same!" Uhura said righteously, "This is Silver Armor!"

The appearance of Silver Armor attracted the attention of many people nearby, and the scene became a little commotion.

Lin Anan and Feng Wu quickly got into the mecha cabin, and Silver Armor's cheerful voice rang out: "Master and little master, long time no see!"

Lin Anan was slightly stunned. Young master?

"Silver armor." There was a hint of warning in Feng Wu's voice.

The silver armor quickly fell silent and connected with Feng Wu's mental power.

[Don't talk nonsense in front of him.] Feng Wu said in the mental link.

Silver Armor is puzzled: [But Silver Armor is not talking nonsense. Silver Armor made his judgment after careful observation.]

Feng Wu said with a headache: [Stop talking, I have something important to tell you.]

Yin Jia immediately said: [Okay, Master.]

After a while, Yin Jia couldn't help but speak again: [Master, you look very handsome when you are green.]

Feng Wu: “…”

The huge silver mecha quickly took off into the air and drilled into the crack in the ground.

Lin Anan had been paying close attention to Feng Wu's condition. After Yin Jia's entire body had sunk below the crack in the ground, he changed back into human form and asked, "How do you feel?"

Feng Wu felt it for a moment and said, "It's okay."

After a moment, Lin Anan spoke again: "What now?"

Feng Wu: "It's okay."

After a while, Lin Anan said: "Brother Wolf——"

"I'm fine." This time Feng Wu interrupted him and looked at Lin Anan with some helplessness. "If you feel uncomfortable, I will tell you, don't worry."

Lin Anan frowned, still a little worried.

He thought about it, then suddenly reached out and grabbed one of Feng Wu's hands, holding it tightly.

Feng Wu subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, but he couldn't do it.

The hand holding his was smaller than his own, and the palm was soft and warm, warm enough to make his heart tremble slightly.

After a long while, Feng Wu swallowed and found his voice again: "...An An?"

"Let me hold your hand." Lin Anan said seriously, "I'll help you check the status of your mental core, and you just focus on driving the mecha."

Feng Wu subconsciously wanted to say "No need", but before he could say it, he lowered his head to look at the two people's clasped hands and said, "Okay."

Shining Armor: [Wow.]

Feng Wu: [Silver Armor, shut up.]

Silver Armor: [Okay, Master. Hehe.]

Feng Wu: [……]

This crack is very deep, and the rock walls on both sides converge more as you go down.

Feng Wu had to slow down Yin Jia's speed to prevent Yin Jia's huge body from accidentally rubbing against the rock wall and causing any uncontrollable accidents.

What the two did not expect was that after passing through a cave-like passage, the road below suddenly became wider.

The stone walls on both sides became much smoother. After observing for a moment, Lin Anan said, "It looks like they were opened up by humans."

Feng Wu nodded in agreement.

The road ahead became wider and wider, and Feng Wu increased the speed of Silver Armor. However, not long after, Silver Armor's alarm sounded in the mecha cabin.

"Alert! An energy body appears ahead. Shall we destroy it?"

Feng Wu used his mental power to investigate and said, "It's an energy shield, the energy is unknown."

Silver Armor's tone was quite expectant: "Master, do you need Silver Armor to fire the energy cannon?"

It has stayed in the mecha space for too long and has not used the energy cannon for a long time, which makes it a little restless.

Feng Wu said, "No."

He controlled his mental power to cover the energy shield, and after a moment, a silver-white light flashed in the seemingly empty space in front of him.

After a few crisp "crackling" sounds, the silver-white piece shattered into slag and scattered.

Without this protective shield, the scene below was clearly visible.

Beautiful blue-purple light shone out, illuminating the originally dark deep crack in the ground, making it bright and brilliant.

Although the timing was not right, Lin Anan couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful."

Yin Jia suddenly realized: [So that's how it is. ]

Feng Wu: [? What is this? ]

Silver Armor said dreamily: [Master, are you going to confess your love here? This place is so beautiful, Master is so romantic, the little master will definitely agree to Master's confession! ]

Feng Wu: […Silver Armor, stop talking.]

Silver Armor: [Good Master.]

After a moment, Silver Armor: [Master, come on! ]
