One day, Chen Yi felt that his world had suddenly changed.

Originally, he was just an ordinary college student, neither good nor bad. But suddenly one day, he found that he seemed to be able to control some substances.

This kind of substance, chemically, has a very clear classification, that is, metals.

It was the final exam of a medical laboratory class, and Chen Yi was performing nerve separation on a frog's thigh. Chen Yi's hands-on ability is very strong, but the progress of the experiment is always unsatisfactory, because the ophthalmic scissors in his hand are not easy to use. The connecting screws of the small scissors are broken and cannot be used at all.

This is a final exam, not an ordinary laboratory class, and it is impossible to lend you other people's scissors. This kind of thing that may affect the final grade, who will strike the mine?

The teacher in charge of the experimental equipment was called to pick up a batch of experimental reagents, and he couldn't come back for a while.

In fact, this is not too much trouble, it is just a matter of time to finish. However, the longer the experiment drags on, the later it will be to leave the lab. If you are not careful, it will be delayed until eight o'clock, and at that time, there will be no food in the cafeteria.

There is no food in the cafeteria, and for others, it may be a matter of changing places to eat, but for Chen Yi, there are other concerns. On the one hand, he has recently taken a fancy to a motorcycle, has been saving money, and is a little tight on cash; On the other hand, Chen Yi went to school in the imperial capital, and the consumption of the surrounding restaurants was generally three times higher than the price of the canteen, and it was difficult to eat, which was not cost-effective at all.

In addition, Chen Yi has an exam the next day, and going out to eat at this time will inevitably affect his sharpening of the gun at night, and time is precious and should not be wasted.

Therefore, Chen Yi was very anxious, and he wished that the scissors could be repaired automatically, so that he could finish the experiment early, leave the laboratory quickly, and fill his skin.

After asking for help left and right without hope, Chen Yi stared at his scissors with a little helplessness, and couldn't help but think in his heart: If my scissors were a good and extremely sharp scissors, how good would it be.

Just as he was thinking this, he felt countless currents of heat originate from all over his body, dissolve into a stream in his right arm, and then pass through his fingers into the scissors.

In the next moment, the screws of the scissors recovered at a visible speed, and the cutting edge also made a visible change. Chen Yi hurriedly tested it on the frog, and this smallest ophthalmic scissors, with a blade of less than an inch, could easily tear the frog's muscles and even cut the frog's bones; It would take a lot of effort to complete a rough cut that was twenty centimeters long, a size that seemed to be in a toolbox rather than a tray of surgical instruments.

Chen Yi was stunned for a full ten seconds, and then continued the experiment quietly.

Because their nerve separation specimens have reached the point where they take themselves as a unit and help themselves, the people around them did not notice that Chen Yi's scissors had changed.

Towards the end of the experiment, he held the scissors in his hand and tried to imagine once again how nice it would be if the scissors were a good but not very sharp pair of scissors.

Once again, the heat poured out of the body, converging on the arms and finally from the fingers into the scissors.

Chen Yi carefully observed the transformed scissors, and found that the knife edge seemed to be a little undetectably separated, no longer the tight fit before, and the blade was also somewhat blunted, looking like it had been used for a long time.

I picked up the experimental report that was waiting to be filled out and cut it on the corner, the scissors were really not very sharp, and the paper would jam after cutting it a few times in a row.

And the person next to him, although he saw his movements, didn't take it to heart, just when he was trying to make the scissors make do with the technique.

So until the end of the experiment, Chen Yi did not show any horses.

After completing the experiment and filling out the report, Chen Yi came out of the laboratory alone and walked to the cafeteria, recalling the incredible everything that happened to his body, recalling the feeling of the heat surging and converging in his arm.

And whether there is any discomfort in yourself after this feeling.

Nothing, except that my stomach was hungrier.

Perhaps, food will be enough to supplement the consumption of this ability?

Chen Yi ran to the cafeteria, had a full dinner, and bought some cakes and buns that could be taken away as supper, and then returned to the dormitory.

Because of the class assignment, Chen Yi lives with five students who have already interned. The busy seniors rarely return to the dormitory, and now that it is the final period, most of the interns who do not have to take the final exam are caught by the teacher and go to the department to be on duty, which gives Chen Yi a small personal space.

Sure enough, there was no one in the dormitory.

Since there is no one, you can do the experiment with confidence.

Turning over a paper clip, Chen Yi sat down at the table and began to test. He stared at the paper clip and thought to himself: how nice it would be if it could be straightened.

Based on the experience of several uses, Chen Yi tried to activate his power. Slight currents of heat came from all over the body, milder than the first, lighter than the second, and the paper clip, after inhaling these heatstreams, stretched itself and became a straight wire.

It's done!

Chen Yi excitedly watched the miraculous results caused by this superpower.

Next, there are various experiments.

The scope of the experiment is relatively wide, including testing different materials, trying different changes of the same material, etc., and there are more than a dozen small projects.

Due to the planning of the experimental design, although he only did more than ten small experiments, Chen Yi still determined his ability, that is, to control metal.

And it can only be manipulated physically, not chemically.

In other words, he can change the shape, melting point, ductility and other related changes of the metal, but he cannot let the metal react with substances that do not react normally, or accelerate some reactions that are originally very slow.

But as long as it is a metal, it can be controlled, no matter what metal it is, pure metals can also be, alloys can also be, metal oxides can be, impure metals can be, and even substances containing trace amounts of metals can also be.

Of course, the more complex the composition of the material being manipulated, the less the metal composition, or the tighter the combination with other substances, the more difficult it is to manipulate; And the more unstable the manipulated component, the more difficult it is to manipulate.

For example, to control a paper clip, the weight is one or two grams, for this paper clip, the difficulty is very small, if a little external force is assisted, it can even be changed at will, as if it is not a metal paper clip, but a small ball of plasticine.

But when Chen Yi tried to control the manganese metal in some of the spilled PP powder (potassium permanganate), it was very difficult.

The structure of potassium permanganate is not very stable, and the metal manganese in it is easy to change from positive heptavalent to positive pentavalent, converted into manganese potassium permanganate, and at the same time release oxygen, which is the reason why PP powder can be disinfected.

In potassium permanganate, this characteristic of manganese makes Chen Yi only control a small handful even if he condenses the heat flow equivalent to repairing and strengthening the scissors; And when Chen Yi changed the object of control to potassium permanganate, which is specifically responsible for making cations, the difficulty instantly dropped by countless grades, which was easier than letting the paper clip change its shape - this is because PP powder is a powder and it is easy to change the shape.

Distinguishing between potassium and manganese is as simple as instinct for Chen Yi, and he doesn't even need to think about what the properties of manganese and potassium are, he can manipulate the two completely differently. In other words, he can control one or more components of the metal he comes into contact with.

Another point is that he can control the metal that does not come into contact with his body, but he cannot change the shape, and can only simply move the position, as if it has been affected by a magnetic field.

In addition to these, Chen Yi also found that he could feel some subtle changes in the metal that had been manipulated, and could even easily perceive the position and state of those metals, although the induction would gradually disappear as long as he left a few meters, but if he was in contact with his fingers, Chen Yi could sense the extremely subtle state changes of the metal that the heat flow had entered.

As for the accuracy of the control, Chen Yi did not test it, he cut a pin with a vise, and then pulled it to both sides, and as a result, he easily pulled out a uniform filament more than one meter long, and he could continue to pull it, but he couldn't perceive whether it could be kept even.

As for the limit of control, Chen Yi didn't have the strength to experiment, just in the last test just now, Chen Yi had already felt the exhaustion of the heat flow in his body, and after barely gathering and turning the blade of a utility knife into iron, he could no longer do anything.

A bottle of glucose injection was pulled out from under a roommate's bed and poured into his stomach. Chen Yi suddenly felt that his physical strength had recovered a little, these glucose injections were brought back from the internship department by a senior roommate, although I don't know if his original intention of using glucose was consistent with Chen Yi's behavior at this time, but it did help a lot.

This is different from the steamed bun patty he brought back, the liquid of glucose injection \ liquid is absorbed much faster than eating.

With a bottle of glucose in his stomach, Chen Yi suddenly felt that the heat flow in his body had recovered, but he did not blindly continue the experiment - today's test was enough, and more situations still needed to be analyzed. He turned on his computer and recorded the results of the experiment in an unobtrusive system folder.

Then I opened the browser and searched for information about myself or the same kind of 'superpowers'.

For information like superpowers, he used a search engine to search casually and found tens of millions of messages. But apart from the obvious boasting, and the novel's strange tales, there is not much left.

Chen Yi wasn't sure if it was because the other superpowers didn't exist at all, or because they were all hidden. However, regardless of whether there are other superpowers, hiding clumsiness is more in line with Chen Yi's character than being arrogant.

After briefly looking at the webpage, Chen Yi took out the review materials again and studied them.

Chen Yi, who studies hard, has a special focus, although his eyes are not big, they are very focused; Although the eyebrows are not raised, they are black and thick; Although the lips are a little thicker, they give people a sense of kindness.

Chen Yi is very tall, 1.83 meters tall, in school, he is a tall boy who can be counted, the proportion of limbs is relatively long, plus the crazy play after the college entrance examination, there are some bulging bumps on his body, he looks quite sunny in his coat, and when he takes off his coat, he looks very explosive, and the return rate is quite high on the road.

He appears to be a sunny athletic boy, but in fact, he is emotionally introverted, calm, and very patient and assertive.

After changing to an ordinary college freshman, I suddenly awakened such an ability, and I was already so excited that I could bear the loneliness and decided to hide myself, not to mention that I could concentrate on reviewing the subjects that will be examined tomorrow.

Time flies, and after a while, it's time to turn off the lights at night.

In the middle of the night, Chen Yi lay on the bed, quietly thinking about today's gains and losses. At the time, he didn't notice it, but now that he thinks about it, he is not satisfied with his performance today, and there are many omissions that he has not considered, such as whether this ability is a one-time use, whether the use of this power will attract any attention, etc., and what this ability can do, etc., he needs to carefully sort it out.

Overall, though, it didn't get noticed, which is to be reckoned with.

With special powers, he didn't want to go out and show off at all, and rashly used his abilities, which eventually led to immeasurable consequences. It is not his willingness to be targeted by any kind of community person, or to be arrested by the state apparatus for study, and he hopes that no one will know about his changes until he understands the specific situation of himself and the environment. Be low-key, be low-key.

"If you want to keep yourself unknown in a circle, the easiest way is not to let the people in the circle know that they are also in the circle."

While thinking so, Chen Yi lay on the bed according to the usual rhythm of life, the young man slept well, and fell asleep after a while.

When he got up the next morning, Chen Yi's first action was to perceive the metal that had been manipulated yesterday. Because when he heard the alarm clock, he suddenly thought of a question, since he can perceive the metal he has manipulated, I wonder if anyone else can find out?

Yesterday was too short, and when he perceived it, almost every metal he had manipulated could sense it. Today, he did it again to measure the time-dependent attenuation of unknown signal sources that he could perceive inside the metal.

Sure enough, this signal gradually weakened with the passage of time, and yesterday he had done more than a dozen experiments, and he could feel them all at night before going to bed, but after waking up in the morning, only the blade of the utility knife, which had turned into a small piece of iron with great effort, could barely be felt.

However, there was no more time to study for him, and after getting up, Chen Yi went to take the last exam, and then simply cleaned up and embarked on the journey back to his hometown.
