Chen Fei had never imagined, that as an utterly ordinary person, he would develop "pica" in his lifetime.
Well, let's just call it "pica," since it involves eating all sorts of things, particularly things that shouldn't be eaten.
After all, he wasn't the only one in the world with "pica." Not to mention eating metals, there were others who ate glass, ceramics, and even soil and gnawed on rocks—various nonsensical behaviors, which was why they were collectively termed as "pica."
In the past, he had been careful and cautious, never daring to be greedy.

But now, being urged by the female Metallic Dragon Yilan, he had thrown caution to the wind and let himself go with the flow.
To hell with it, eat first and worry later.
The taste of metal was surprisingly not bad, and it wasn't as hard as expected—he even prepared himself for the possibility that despite the pain, he would not be able to bite through.
Yet, he easily bit off a large chunk and, marveling at his excellent teeth, Chen Fei thought that the mysterious "My System" would open up a new world for him.
He never expected that after two novice tasks, another task would suddenly pop up.
The alloy ingot in his hand suddenly lost its appeal.
Mr/Miss System, what are you trying to pull?!
Killing a good person?
I am a good person, should I just commit suicide?!
Damn it!
Detecting Chen Fei's odd behavior, the blissfully munching female Metallic Dragon Yilan looked over in confusion and said, "Why have you stopped eating? Are you full?"
"Ah..." Chen Fei was momentarily stunned, then regained his composure and nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, I'm full!"
He had indeed lost his appetite because of the sudden system task.
Swoosh!~
The half-piece of alloy ingot that fell to the ground was swiftly coiled up by a flexible Dragon's Tail; the next second, it landed in Yilan's massive mouth with fangs, munching and mumbling, "Can't waste food!"
Clang, clang, clang... it wasn't Chen Fei's system making a racket, but Xiao Jiu, the mischievous little creature, pecking around.
Having seen its dad enjoying something tasty, it too wanted a taste.
The Pure Light Sparrow, even as a Magical Beast in bird form, who only feasted on chick feed pellets and live mealworms, lacked the robust teeth of Chen Fei and Yilan and couldn't peck through the metal—apart from producing a series of crisp, pleasant sounds, it made not a single mark.
"Chen Fei, uh! Can't finish it, can I take it away? Uh!~"
The female Metallic Dragon, belching contentedly, emitted satisfied groans. After two days of feasting on large chunks, it finally reached a point where it couldn't nibble anymore.
The only source of psychic power fluctuations came from the Little Bird hopping on the other's shoulder.
"Jiu!~"
The Magical Beast Pure Light Sparrow, not even reaching the First Rank of Human Order, had nothing noteworthy about it.
Manager Hanna Gagel slightly frowned, pondered for a moment, and speculated, "Perhaps it's due to the Supernatural Ability Suppressant."
Supernatural powers include the Wind Series, Fire System, Metallic, etc., and naturally include the Psychic Series. The categorization of supernatural power types on Blue Star is basically consistent with that on Cangqiong Star: ten systems of Magic (excluding Metallic), ten systems of Battle Qi (excluding Metallic), and eleven systems of Special Abilities.
The Supernatural Ability Suppressants on Blue Star are broad-spectrum functional suppressants capable of effectively suppressing all supernatural powers, and might even suppress psychic power fluctuations, making the Psychic Dragon from Sky Dragon City unable to sense psychic power and therefore unable to use it as a bridge to search Chen Fei's memory.
Manager Hanna summoned an underling, whispered a few words, and the underling hurried away, soon returning with an object in hand.
That object resembled a frame-like helmet with a small LCD screen attached.
After receiving it, Hanna Gagel placed it directly onto Chen Fei's head.
Beep!~
The frame-like helmet emitted an electronic sound.
"Psychic power 2.1 degrees, Chen Fei, it seems you were at 0.9 degrees before you joined the company."
Hanna Gagel, as the executive manager of the 911 Aircrew Base, was not unprepared, having all of the personal information of each employee memorized.
"Ah! Yes!"
Chen Fei nodded, recognizing the device on his head.
The Psychic Power Strength Detector, which is commonly used for physical examinations, everyone had it placed on their head during university check-ups every year, and in just two seconds, it could determine the intensity index of the psychic power fluctuations, and more advanced ones could even differentiate wave patterns.
Each person's psychic power wave pattern is unique, with the probability of similarity far lower than that of fingerprints. In some special fields, psychic wave pattern characteristics are even used as identification keys, ensuring high security.
"It must be your awakening of a Special Ability that has increased your psychic power strength,"
Hanna Gagel said as she removed the Psychic Power Strength Detector from Chen Fei and handed it back to her subordinate.
The psychic power strength of ordinary people is between 0.6 to 1.5 degrees, related to willpower, focus, and the amplitude of psychic wave patterns—supernatural power users generally have higher psychic power strength than ordinary people.
Following Chen Fei's awakening of Metal Elemental Psychic Power, his psychic strength increased from 0.9 to 2.1, which is completely normal.
Psychic Illusion Dragon Clodia expressed her confusion, "What's going on here?"
She clearly couldn't sense anything, yet the device detected it instantly.
