Bone-gold was a special alloy — a metal composite suffused with Activity, hard in a way ordinary metals weren't, capable of triggering the sharpening reaction that let it cut through non-Activity materials with almost no resistance.

Before Activity had reshaped the world, no one would have known such a material was possible. Humanity's understanding of what metal could be had turned out to be very limited.

About two hours after consuming the White Silver Fruit, Blackhead woke up.

Under Shen Cong's observation, it crossed into the Lv1 era. The White Silver Fruit's effect wasn't only sedation — it had produced a significant Activity Value increase as well.

"Blackhead — how do you feel?" He sent the inquiry through the perceptual link.

Blackhead's intelligence, even post-transition, was considerably below the Four-Legged Dragon's, and below the Antgod's as well. But something new was in the signal now — a faint liveliness that hadn't been there before. "Strong... I'm so strong..."

Not a detailed report. Blackhead had no capacity to explain its own internal state. But it confirmed at minimum that the White Silver Fruit hadn't been toxic — no damage, no adverse effects, only the transition.

Shen Cong's turn.

He ate one fruit. It hit his system like a firecracker going off in his stomach — Activity radiating in every direction at once. This wasn't a "more vital" high-quality Activity fruit. The Activity was ordinary in type. But the concentration was beyond anything he'd consumed before, more intense than any Activity fruit in his collection, overwhelming in a way that only his Lv1 era physiology could absorb without losing consciousness.

"Very aggressive Activity. Strong enhancement effect, especially on Activity Value — comparable to a Siphon event. No wonder three fruits dropped Blackhead, and Little Four went under after getting into the fruit cache. It's good material. Unfortunately at my current level the effect is limited — Lv1 era, the body's already past the stage where Activity fruit produces major gains."

After the Lv1 transition, the metallic transition process had changed the relationship between Activity and body development. It wasn't simple enhancement anymore…
