[Your design drawing of the ‘B9-LCE detector’ has passed the system rating and been included in the drawing library. 】
【Based on the rating of this drawing, you gain 299 expertise points. 】
——
Following a system prompt, Jiang Chen's accumulated expertise points once again exceeded the one thousand mark.
Originally, in Jiang Chen's plan, this expertise point was intended to be exchanged for a 'functional expertise' that could speed up the upgrade.
The avatar of 'Ersso' is about to arrive at the headquarters of the Space Mercenary Alliance. By then, the Space Mercenary Alliance will provide free 'nutrient solution', which cannot be used.
However, due to the level of the main body, even if the clone is soaked in nutrient solution, it cannot be promoted to the 'Ninth Level of Stellar', which is a bit embarrassing.
It would be bad if it arouses the suspicion of the Space Mercenary Alliance.
It is best if the level of the main body can be improved in a short period of time. Even if it does not break through to the cosmic level, it should at least reach the ninth level of the star, so that the level of the clone can be rushed up.
However, as the clone of 'Ersso' gets closer and closer to the headquarters of the Space Mercenary Alliance, the deadline given by the Phantom King is about to expire.
Although Jiang Chen has already started to learn the secret method of "Huan Shen Transformation", there is still a certain distance between him and the real master.
If you want to join the Phantom King, you must redeem a feat that will help you.
The two choices conflict with each other, and Jiang Chen can only choose one of the two, which makes Jiang Chen a little confused.
The two specialties that Jiang Chen is interested in are [Arcane Great Sage] and [High-level Mental Power Control].
[Arcane Great Sage]: When you study and research the knowledge and skills of the 'arcane' system, you will receive additional substantial blessings. Each point of intelligence, spirit, and mysterious attributes increases the total efficiency by 1.5%. When you use arcane abilities, the effect is +40%.
Corresponding to [Arcane Great Sage], there are also [Alchemy Great Sage], [Mechanical Great Sage] and other similar feats. Except for the different fields of action, the effects are almost the same. .
[High-level mental power control]: Your control of mental power is like instinct. You are born with the ability to reach the perfect limit, and you can change your own mental power characteristics at will, including but not limited to: controlling objects and souls. , digitization, virtualization, physicalization...
The redemption prices of several specialties are surprisingly unified, all 999 specialty points.
If you exchange for one of [Arcane Great Sage], [Alchemy Great Sage], [Mechanical Great Sage], with Jiang Chen's current attributes, he will be able to master new knowledge efficiently in the corresponding field. At least it can be doubled several times.
Even if the bonus area is relatively single, it can allow Jiang Chen to quickly upgrade his level in a short period of time, even reaching the third level.
As for the improvement of combat effectiveness and other aspects, it will also play a big role in the future.
As for [High-level mental power control], in a short period of time, the greatest value is that it allows Jiang Chen to quickly master the properties of telekinesis into the lineage of 'Illusionist', and become a disciple of the Phantom King. .
Even if you are just a named disciple, you can get a lot of benefits.
However, Jiang Chen only has a limited number of expertise points on hand. Even if he develops several blueprints approved by the system this year, plus the rewards from upgrades, he can only exchange them for one expertise.
Do you want to upgrade quickly to ensure that you will not be suspected after joining the Space Mercenary Alliance?
Or should we take a little risk, exchange for [High-level Mental Power Control], and become a disciple of the Phantom King?
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Chen asked Qiniya for advice and sent an email, implicitly testing whether he would receive special attention if he did not use the nutrient solution for a while and delayed it for a while.
Not long after, Qiniya’s reply came.
After reading the email sent by Qiniya, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated and directly redeemed the [Advanced Mental Power Control] feat.
——
Earth, in the ring world.
The moment the exchange was completed, Jiang Chen fell into a confused and hazy state, as if he was sleeping, and his perception of the outside world became very dreamy.
If there are strong people paying attention to Jiang Chen, they will find that drastic changes are taking place in Jiang Chen's 'sea of consciousness'.
However, this change process is very rapid, and it returns to its original state in just a few seconds, as if nothing happened.
But when Jiang Chen woke up, he knew that he was indeed different.
As his mental power expanded, Jiang Chen had a feeling that his power was much stronger than before.
It’s not that the level of telekinesis has improved, but the control of telekinesis has improved.
If Jiang Chen goes to test it, he will find that his 'mind power amplitude' has increased from less than 60 points before to a perfect 100.
Using 100% of the power of telekinesis is something that many realm masters cannot do.
The amplitude of telekinesis is the same as the force exerted by the body. When it is lower, it is easier to increase it. However, as it approaches the limit of 100, every increase requires a lot of effort.
But after redeeming [Advanced Mental Power Control], Jiang Chen could directly maximize the power of his mental power without any training.
"Try the characteristic transformation..." Jiang Chen thought, and the 'object control' characteristic of his mind quickly weakened, transforming into a more 'virtual' characteristic that was good at offense and defense at the soul and consciousness level.
According to the concept of swallowing the starry sky world, this is the telepathy characteristic of the 'Illusionist' lineage.
The next moment, the characteristics of Jiang Chen's telepathy changed again and directly condensed into an entity, which could be seen by Jiang Chen with the naked eye.
The mental power in this state has the characteristics of 'flesh'. If Jiang Chen's physical body dies, he can even use his 'physical body' made of pure spiritual power to accommodate his soul and continue his life.
Subsequently, Jiang Chen once again blurred his telekinesis to the extreme. Not only was it impossible to see, but even ordinary detection equipment or the telekinesis exploration of other spiritual masters could not detect the existence of this trace of telepathy.
Of course, in this state, the lethality of Jiang Chen's mental power has also been weakened to an extremely weak level, and can only be used for sneak attacks, or for exploration in some extremely special circumstances.
......
Jiang Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes as he tried different 'forms' one after another.
Among them, what surprised Jiang Chen the most was a telepathy characteristic called "digitization", which allowed Jiang Chen's mental telekinesis to be perfectly integrated with the intelligent brain and optical brain of mechanical equipment for direct control.
You only need to input instructions through the intelligent brain and optical brain, without the need to carefully control every part of the mechanical unit.
"This method of control may prevent the mechanical army from falling into a 'fight for control'..." A thought flashed in Jiang Chen's mind.
The reason why the mechanical legion genre is often used only by the mechanical tribe in the universe is because of the characteristics of the mechanical legion itself. If the enemy has a higher level of intelligence, it is easy to seize control and become a Weapons that the enemy uses to attack you.
Only the mechanical race, which itself is extremely intelligent and does not worry about being seized by the intelligence of other races, will use the mechanical legion to fight on a large scale.
As for the internal battles within the mechanical clan, under the strict pyramid structure of the mechanical clan, the lower-level mechanical clan will 'recognize their master' to the higher-level mechanical clan, and there is no possibility of internal fighting at all.
If other races use intelligence to control the mechanical legions, they may be seized of control once they encounter a strong person from the mechanical race.
However, if the mental power is converted into ‘digitalization’ and the mechanical army is directly controlled by telekinesis, can other more powerful intelligences still compete for control?
Jiang Chen is not clear about this.
In the universe, the characteristics of mental power are diverse. In addition to the mainstream 'controllers' and 'illusionists', there are many other schools.
Such as animal trainers, pharmacists, etc.
But at least Jiang Chen has never heard of this ability to 'digitize' mental power and directly control the mechanical army. Jiang Chen immediately used his mental power to control an SCV, and at the same time ordered Jarvis: "Jarvis, try to seize control of this SCV, and use all your strength without affecting other work."
"Yes, Master." Jarvis immediately mobilized huge computing power and injected a massive flow of information into the SCV's brain, trying to seize the underlying authority of the brain.
Jiang Chen was surprised to find that his telekinesis in the 'information-based' mode could easily perceive the entire process of Jarvis' invasion of the intellectual brain.
In fact, the codes and data used in each attack clearly appeared in Jiang Chen's mind.
Through the knowledge of 'informatics', Jiang Chen can also accurately judge which attacks pose a sufficient threat, and which attacks are 'invalid data', which can be ignored and allowed to be cleaned up by the brain itself.
However, in Jiang Chen's perception, he has never found the possibility of Jarvis being able to seize control of the mechanical army.
Even if Jiang Chen has no defense at all and only maintains control of the SCV brain, the most extreme situation is nothing more than Jarvis using a large amount of 'junk data' to accumulate, causing the brain's load to exceed the limit. , losing the ability to continue operating.
But as long as Jiang Chen doesn't give up voluntarily, no matter how terrifying Jarvis' computing power is, he will not be able to wrest the control authority of SCV from Jiang Chen.
After a moment, Jarvis made the same judgment, stopped the attack on his own initiative, and said: "Master, I cannot seize control. The only thing I can do is to use redundant data that exceeds the processing capacity of the Intelligent Brain to make the Intelligent Brain Burned."
"That's it, this test is over, continue with your work." Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Being able to defend Jarvis's attack and the ability to "informatize" his mental power has already made Jiang Chen very satisfied.
As for whether intelligent life, or even the real machine race, can break through the 'defense line' created by Jiang Chen's mental power.
There is no way to test the latter, but you can find an opportunity to ask Babata to help verify the former.
But there is no need to rush this matter.
With the expertise of [Advanced Mental Power Control], Jiang Chen no longer needs to practice the secret method of "Illusion God Transformation", and naturally masters the ability to transform mental power into the lineage of "Illusionist".
The secret method itself is not important, what is important is the result.
As long as you can follow your own will and transform the characteristics of your mental power, there is no way for the Phantom King to know whether it is done through the secret method of "Illusion God Transformation".
This also means that Jiang Chen completed the test set by the Phantom King and got the opportunity to join the Phantom King's sect.
Even if he is only a named disciple, it means that Jiang Chen has a very powerful backer behind him.
After testing that the [Advanced Mental Power Control] feat was also effective on his own clone, Jiang Chen immediately used the identity of the clone 'Erso' to send an email to the Phantom King, claiming I have already mastered the secret technique of "Huan Shen Transformation".
——
Virtual universe, in the Phantom King’s manor.
“Use the "Illusion God Transformation" to transform your mental power into the characteristics of the illusionist lineage, and then use your soul attack on me."
The Phantom King looked at Jiang Chen and ordered directly.
Jiang Chen did not hesitate and directly followed the other party's request, blurring his mental power and penetrating towards the Phantom King's consciousness.
Although there is no secret method for the soul, the attack methods are very crude.
But with the strength of the Phantom King, he could instantly tell that what Jiang Chen was using was the mental power of the illusionist lineage.
“Okay.”
The Phantom King looked at Jiang Chen with satisfaction and asked: "Are you willing to join my sect and become my registered disciple?"
Jiang Chen did not hesitate and immediately bowed down and saluted: "Disciple Erso ', meet the teacher. "
"Okay, okay!"
The Phantom King pointed to his side and said, "Sit down and talk."
Jiang Chen followed the instructions carefully. He sat down on the chair next to Wang.
"Don't be so nervous." The Phantom King looked at Jiang Chen's appearance and couldn't help but smile: "Are you almost at the alliance headquarters now?"
Jiang Chen nodded and said: "Yes, there are still more than a dozen "It's just over ten days before I succeed in my cultivation. It seems that you have a master-disciple relationship with me."
The Phantom King was in a very good mood and even joked.
After a few casual chats, the Phantom King suddenly became serious and said to Jiang Chen: "I don't like to strictly control my disciples. I only provide resources. How to take the future is entirely up to you. But only There is one rule: my disciples are not allowed to find a partner, they must remain single all their lives! If you can’t accept this, I will give you a chance to regret it!”
After a pause, the Phantom King reminded: "If you still want to join my sect and you have to find a partner in the future, once I find out, I will kill you and your partner!"
"Uh. ..."
Jiang Chen suddenly At a loss for words, he hesitated and asked tentatively: "Teacher, why is there this sect rule?"
In the original work, there is a subtle hint that this 'sect rule' is related to the Phantom King's early experience. , but did not explain it directly.
Jiang Chen is still very curious about this.
The Phantom King didn't mean to answer, but just said: "The rules are the rules, how can there be so many reasons? If you don't want to accept it, you can leave! But only for today. After today, I will treat you as agreeing to abide by the sect rules. !”
Jiang Chen quickly said: “Disciple, listen to the teacher! My friend, cultivation is not important!”
This is Jiang Chen’s true thoughts.
In the world of Devouring Starry Sky, in the later stages of cultivation, there is no need to mention the differences in strength, lifespan, etc. between the strong.
Singles are often measured in kilometers or even light years. Every strong person is pursuing a larger divine body, but the size gap between them is also extremely shocking.
A life with a body size of tens of thousands of kilometers falling in love with a life with a body size of light years?
When I think about it, I think this is even more outrageous than Xu Xian x Snake!
What’s more, as long as you achieve immortality, you can have eternal life.
Since they have immortality, there is no need to continue the family lineage.
With such a long life, what should I do but waste time on relationships?
From the day he embarked on the path of cultivation, Jiang Chen had no thought of developing a relationship with anyone.
