Chen Gu chuckled from within the instrument. When others produce such data, it's because they operated it incorrectly; but when *he* does it, it's the instrument that's at fault.

Dr. Meng Ji, on the other hand, couldn't care less what others thought of him. He remained stubbornly absorbed in his own logic, vigorously waving his arms as if he were a lion commanding his pride. "Everyone, get moving! Check this instrument!" he roared.

"Who's normally responsible for maintaining these instruments? I must hold them accountable for wasting so much of our time..."

Chen Gu was brought out. Seeing Dr. Meng Ji's extreme displeasure, he asked with a smile, "Why can't my physical fitness be equivalent to the Fourth Energy Level?"

Dr. Meng Ji clearly felt that speaking to someone at the Second Energy Level was a waste of his energy, so he replied quickly and tersely, "Absolutely impossible. Even the most outstanding individuals at the Second Energy Level can only achieve the physical fitness of a Third Energy Level."

He was an expert. Being with the Bureau of Mystic Security, he had seen countless special agents and various professionals. Some professions inherently focused on physical fitness, so it wasn't uncommon for someone at the Second Energy Level to be on par with the Third Energy Level in terms of physical conditioning.

What was rare was for a Second Energy Level individual to match the *limits* of the Third Energy Level.

For a Second Energy Level to match the limits of the Fourth Energy Level, however, was simply unreasonable; it violated the fundamental common sense of the professional field.

But I know it wasn't an instrument malfunction, Chen Gu thought. It's because of... my damned gluttony. On that planet, I ate so many strange and exotic things. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it must have had a miraculous effect on improving my physical fitness.

But Dr. Meng Ji refused to believe it, and Chen Gu couldn't be bothered to explain.

Behind the pane of glass, Aviloya gently touched her chin. Could it be the traits of multiple professions?

A group of researchers had been fussing around for a long time, but none of them dared to report to Dr. Meng Ji. Seeing their timid appearance, Dr. Meng Ji flew into a rage. "What's going on? Isn't there a single man among you brave enough to speak up?"

Finally, they all spoke in unison, "Doctor, there's nothing wrong with the instrument."

Even the arrogant and obstinate Dr. Meng Ji finally realized something was amiss. Without a word, he personally rushed to re-examine the instrument, recalibrated it with the baseline data, and indeed found there was no problem!

He whirled around. As he looked at Chen Gu's body again, his eyes were now filled with a burning eagerness!

"So, you're a treasure after all!" Dr. Meng Ji zipped to Chen Gu's side in an instant. He folded his arms, stroked his chin, and chuckled eerily.

A mad scientist, and an unbearably sleazy one at that, Chen Gu thought, goosebumps rising all over his skin. "What are you doing? Stay away from me..."

Dr. Meng Ji pointed to another instrument. "Put him in there. Next, we'll test his fundamental energy units."

The results came out quickly. This time, Dr. Meng Ji exclaimed, "One hundred and thirty-two fundamental energy units!"

He no longer questioned his researchers but still went forward to personally re-test. The result was the same.

These fundamental energy units were a metric uniquely created by Dr. Meng Ji, used to assess the "strength" of professionals.

According to his research, the First Energy Level was typically above twenty units but usually below forty. Only a very few could reach around fifty.

The Second Energy Level was above forty and below sixty; similarly, only an extremely small number could reach eighty.

The fundamental energy units did not increase regularly between each Energy Level.

The Third Energy Level ranged from sixty to ninety units, with a limit of one hundred and five.

Chen Gu's fundamental energy unit data, however, had already exceeded the limit of the Third Energy Level! Although it hadn't reached the limit of the Fourth Energy Level, and wasn't as outrageously high as his physical conditioning, this... this was already incredibly abnormal. Searching through the entire history of the Bureau of Mystic Security, even the entire history of the Confederation, no Second Energy Level individual had ever reached such a level.

Dr. Meng Ji's hands trembled, and the wolf-like glint in his eyes grew even brighter and more intense!

Aviloya pressed a communication button, her cool and pleasant voice filling the entire laboratory. "Dr. Meng Ji, do you still think I'm wasting your time?"

"Don't disturb me!" Dr. Meng Ji bellowed, his full attention on Chen Gu. He seemed to be muttering to himself in thought, "Is pollution the cause? It's possible, but based on the data I have, even pollution couldn't bring about such a significant increase. No, this little boy is too interesting! I must figure him out completely, inside and out!"

Chen Gu broke out in a cold sweat. Are all mad scientists this unhinged?!

Dr. Meng Ji once again waved his arm forcefully, berating all his researchers. "All of you, get moving! Use every piece of equipment on him! I need to understand exactly what's going on with him!"

Aviloya's dissatisfied voice sounded again. "Dr. Meng Ji, I expect you to first ascertain whether he has mutated!"

Dr. Meng Ji grumbled in displeasure but still said, "Fine."

The researchers swiftly arranged various instruments, and the checks were carried out one by one.

When the final results came out, Dr. Meng Ji vigorously scratched his nest-like hair. He spun around abruptly and waved his arms exaggeratedly at the glass pane in frustration. "Aviloya! Director-General! Your Excellency Valkyrie! Are you joking with me?"

"My time is so precious! Why must you insist on having me waste it on such meaningless matters?"

Aviloya was unmoved, simply asking, "And the results?"

"The result is that his mental purity has reached 98.45 percent!" Dr. Meng Ji roared. "I've never seen a professional with such high mental purity in my entire life! His likelihood of succumbing to corruption is even lower than yours!"

Aviloya's first reaction was: That's absolutely impossible! With those sixteen adult films, this guy's mental purity couldn't possibly be that high!

But she couldn't voice this thought. Besides, it didn't make sense logically. Just based on the countless times he has pushed past his limits and overused his professional skills, he shouldn't have such a high purity level.

Aviloya pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why is it so high?"

Dr. Meng Ji waved his hand impatiently. "How would I know? Perhaps this delightful little boy has an inherently pure soul. Perhaps this delightful little boy possesses an unwavering conviction. Or maybe this delightful little boy is simply a genuinely good and pure person... I don't care about all that! In any case, I've completed the task you assigned me. Now, this delightful little boy... he's mine!"

Hearing Dr. Meng Ji repeat "delightful little boy" made Chen Gu's skin crawl. The chilling sensation completely shattered the joy he'd felt knowing he had no risk of corruption, leaving him with the dreadful thought that if he fell into this mad scientist's hands, his virtue would truly be in peril.

He howled, "Your Excellency Aviloya! Director-General! I pledge my firm loyalty to the Bureau of Mystic Security! I'll never defect to the military! Save me, please!"

Then he shouted again, "Your Excellency Gong Shuxu! You owe me! You said if anything came up, you'd be here with one call! Well, I have a very serious problem right now...!"
