Chapter 165: 165

Two months later, Chen Chen stood in the middle of an empty metal room . There was a white card before him that fluttered up and down in his vision .

It was a poker card .

If someone came across this sight, they would be shocked to notice that the card was fully suspended in the air .

Yes, fully suspended .

It was not only suspended . If one got closer, one would find that the poker card was trembling slightly as if an invisible hand was holding it and the tremor was just a natural response of the human body .

Meanwhile, as Chen Chen moved his gaze to the right, the poker card also moved to his right . When Chen Chen turned to look at his left, the poker card swooped to the left too .

Following that, Chen Chen turned around in a circle . The poker card maintained a distance of thirty centimeters in front of Chen Chen the entire time like it was Chen Chen’s shadow .

Upon observing this, Chen Chen suddenly closed his eyes .

Nonetheless, even after his eyes were shut, the card still hovered before him . Then, in accordance with Chen Chen’s thoughts, the poker card started to twirl around Chen Chen .

It was like a dancing butterfly .

Finally, Chen Chen prodded with his mind . From a table beside him, three or four poker cards flew into the air and revolved ceaselessly around Chen Chen . Every movement of each card was identical .

“My current limit is controlling four poker cards at the same time…”

Chen Chen mumbled with his eyes shut . After that, the four poker cards began to move on different trajectories, but this only lasted for a brief moment .

In the next second, he suddenly lost control over the four cards which scattered onto the ground .

“Trying to focus on four things at once is still too much…”

Chen Chen shook his head, then opened his eyes .

Unlike the protagonist Andrew in the movie Chronicle, Chen Chen had specially designed several training courses for himself . For example, the current training with poker cards was a way to improve the accuracy of his control .

By controlling the poker cards, he could increase his brain’s control over the electromagnetic force .

Besides, Chen Chen also had corresponding strength training and endurance training . After all, as the movie mentioned, this ability could be enhanced through exercise, just like a muscle .

Therefore, Chen Chen certainly hoped that this ability could be fully developed in terms of speed, strength, and endurance .

At the present, Chen Chen’s utilization of electromagnetic force was mainly in the form of field energy, so he decided he might as well name his current power as — Field .

Chen Chen stretched out a hand and turned his palm flat up .

At once, four poker cards flew up in succession and landed into Chen Chen’s palm one by one .

As he looked at the messy poker cards in his hand, Chen Chen shook his head helplessly . Compared to Andrew in the movie who casually put away an entire deck of scattered cards, his own control was inadequate .

Chen Chen was suddenly struck by another thought . A tin box of chewing gum, as thick as a finger, flew out from his pocket by itself . After that, it opened with a click and a crystal clear pill floated up .

Chen Chen opened his mouth and the pill flew smoothly into his mouth . At the same time, the box containing the pills snapped shut and returned to Chen Chen’s pocket .

He closed his eyes lightly . After around thirty seconds, the corners of his mouth curled up and he gently put out his hand once again .

Suddenly, what was left of the fifty-four poker cards on the table flew up one after another, spun once in mid-air, then dropped lightly into Chen Chen’s hands .

One, two, three…

Ten, twenty…

They moved faster and faster . At first, it was just one card after another . By the end, all the poker cards were simply connected in one long chain, tracing a unified arc in the air before landing into Chen Chen’s hands like birds returning to their nest .

“Phew!”

Chen Chen exhaled loudly and opened his eyes again .

At the moment, the deck of cards was tidily stacked in Chen Chen’s palm . It was a world of difference from the disordered attempt from before .

“As I thought, after taking NZT-48, even my control over ‘Field’ increases by more than ten times…”

As Chen Chen murmured, he spread out both his hands . Instantly, the fifty-four poker cards formed a neat circle that floated and revolved around Chen Chen continuously .

Chen Chen suddenly exerted some force .

There was a flash of white light . The trump card of these fifty-four poker cards abruptly raced out, spinning over a distance of five, six meters, before it slowly drifted to the ground .

Following that, the rest of the cards flew out one after another . The furthest of them reached seven or eight meters and even the nearest ones covered four to five meters .

Chen Chen turned to the metal wall and sent these cards into the wall . They thudded loudly as they hit their mark .

After this, Chen Chen wore a pensive look .

“Little X . ”

Chen Chen suddenly spoke and looked at the monitor in the corner, “Send Qian Wenhuan a message — ask him to cut the imported graphene oxide from the research center into the size of playing cards and send it to me . ”

“Okay!”

As Little X replied, Chen Chen turned on his laptop and continued extracting crystalline from the USB drive .

After two months of cultivation, Chen Chen felt that his body had recovered to its initial state and could continue to endure the radiation of the crystalline .

One, two, three pieces…

This time, Chen Chen had absorbed twenty-two pieces of crystalline in one go, reserving only 50 kilograms worth of energy within the USB drive .

When the last of the crystalline had been absorbed, Chen Chen wiped away the blood from his nose and stretched himself . His whole body made cracking noises .

Chen Chen could clearly sense that his “Field” had grown stronger…

Therefore, he looked at the poker cards scattered all around and beckoned gently .

Instantly, the poker cards within two meters of him flew up, whirled giddily in the air, and returned to Chen Chen’s hand in a neat curve!

Chen Chen smiled . He shut his eyes matter-of-factly and continued stepping forward .

As he moved forward, his hand was like a vacuum cleaner that constantly sucked in the scattered poker cards, which returned to his palm like sheep returning to their flock .

Right, the first time he had only absorbed nine crystalline fragments and his control over his “Field” had only extended to one meter . This time, having absorbed twenty-two pieces, his range of control over “Field” had increased from one meter to around two meters instantly .

He had just absorbed the crystalline, but already Chen Chen felt that his command over “Field” had become more assured .

With a mental prod from Chen Chen, a poker card flew out with a “whoosh”, hitting the wall ten meters away with a loud “thud”!

“Boss? It’s me, Wenhuan . ”

At this point, Qian Wenhuan’s voice came through the electronic lock .

Chen Chen turned toward the door and gestured gently with his right hand . Instantly, the entire deck of cards floated into the air, then fell gently, but amazingly enough, they landed into a tidy stack on the table behind him, not an inch out of place!

After that, Chen Chen kicked the crystalline pieces whose power had been exhausted into a corner . Only then did he snap his fingers to signal Little X to open the door .

The red light on the electronic lock turned green and Qian Wenhuan walked in with a welded iron box .

“Boss, here’s the thing you asked for . ”

Qian Wenhuan glanced around curiously and noticed the bloodstains on Chen Chen’s shirt . His expression changed suddenly . “Boss, are you feeling unwell lately?”

“Unwell?”

Chen Chen cracked his neck and said softly with a smile, “I’ve never felt better . ”
