Chapter 102, Mind Manipulation
When Gerrit found Gu Hang, her expression looked very serious, and her usual gentle smile was gone.
"We probably know what those cult traitors are trying to do."
"What to do? Destroy the city and sacrifice it to the evil god?" Gu Hang tried to make a not-so-funny joke.
"Yes." Garrett nodded seriously without any intention of joking, "Those cult traitors always like to do this. Those filthy creatures they believe in all like this."
"Okay, so what exactly do they plan to do? Do you have any clues?"
Garrett said: "Not yet, two sisters are continuing to pursue. However, we may have figured out the hiding place of the leader of the cult traitor."
"Oh?" Gu Hang's interest finally increased, "Is it reliable?"
"Should be reliable and at least worth a try."
"Then try." Gu Hang made a decisive decision, "What support do you need? I will deploy it as soon as possible. It is best for us to take action immediately and don't let anyone escape."
"I need you."
"Huh?"
"A great psyker can do many things for us."
Gu Hang quickly thought about it in his mind.
He is indeed very busy now and can't spare much time, but no matter what he does, he must have priority. If those government affairs tasks are left alone, no one will die, or not too many people will die; if the cult leader can be killed early, many, many fewer people will die.
Gu Hang didn't have any taboos about personally participating in the battle.
Of course, relevant safety work must still be done well.
It's not that he doesn't trust the nuns, it's just that the more power he has on hand, the better.
Phoenix can let them send four people to participate in the operation, leaving three to maneuver outside the city. They should not deny the request.
In addition to the two personnel responsible for the review work at the food distribution point in the outer city, Garrett and the others will have nine people participating in the battle.
Counting Gu Hang himself...this lineup is definitely enough.
However, Gu Hang thought for a moment and still brought the elite Marine Corps with him.
That team has now become his personal bodyguard.
After regaining Fuxing City and receiving many gifts, he directly upgraded all the remaining people to T3 level.
This is the end of the matter. Their equipment, basic physical fitness, and combat experience are not enough to support their promotion to T2. Perhaps in the future, after more baptisms of blood and fire, or there are some special opportunities or technologies, their ratings can be improved.
But no matter what, the 28 T3-level soldiers were the most elite force Gu Hang could produce at his disposal.
And he himself was an outstanding psyker according to Gritte.
But he can definitely improve his rating immediately.
When the fighting outside the city subsided, Gu Hang realized that he had enough experience to level up.
As long as he has 200 gifts, he will become a psyker judged as LV4 in the system.
This level was also the level at which Gu Hang calculated that he could take on a fully armed superhuman like a Space Marine.
After thinking about this clearly in his mind, Gu Hang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you."
……
After sending off Garuite and sending a request to the Phoenix and getting a reply, Gu Hang took advantage of the last moment before the team assembled to focus on two things.
One is to look at the battle settlement.
[Victory in the bloody battle, gained 65 points of gifts] [Loss of 427, 742 destroyed, 121 captured]
[3rd Battalion, Governor's Infantry Regiment: 89 losses, 266 killed]
[Captured troops: 338 losses, 337 destroyed]
[Phoenix Chapter (Allied Forces): 0 losses, 139 destroyed]
A narrow victory in a bloody battle... This was Gu Hang's first time fighting. Obviously, the strength gap between the two sides is not that big, but a victory in which one's side suffers a relatively large loss will result in a smaller bonus to the gift points.
After subtracting the gains from the phoenix, the rest is calculated, which is only 65 points of gifts.
As for the captive unit that had not yet been established and was only temporarily pulled out, its weapons and equipment were not very good. Apart from being equipped with some company and platoon-level heavy weapons, there was basically no difference in equipment level with those armed thugs. The opponent also has the bonus of brainwashed religious fanaticism. Although the prisoners have political commissars to inject blood, there is still a gap.
Even so, Gu Hang was actually not satisfied with the 50-50 loss. This shows that their military skills are indeed somewhat inferior.
Gu Hang had a headache.
He had thought before that since he was a regular member of the alliance, it wouldn't be too bad if he couldn't reach T5, right? Can you save some gift points and just use them normally?
But looking at it now, it’s a bit too bad.
It seems that the follow-up is still important.
There are 7,000 people, and reaching T5 level is also a 70-point gift, which is heartbreaking!
After checking the battle settlement, the second thing Gu Hang had to do was upgrade.
After 200 points of grace, Gu Hangli felt a warm current, which represented an increase in basic attributes.
At the same time, a talent selection interface appeared in his interface.
As usual, I clicked on the [Unique] line first. As expected, I couldn’t click on it.
Then without saying a word, he focused on [spirituality].
[Mind Manipulation: Allows you to sneak into the target's mind, create hallucinations, tamper with memories, and forcibly control. At the same time, it strengthens your resistance to mental means. Spirituality +1】
Having obtained a new talent, Gu Hang was satisfied.
Mental abilities are something he has been waiting for for a long time.
This type of method, like telepathy control, is a standard method for many psykers, and it is also a very terrifying method.
Moreover, after acquiring the psychic talent of mind manipulation, its role is not limited to combat.
Of course, Gu Hang also warned himself in his mind that the relevant abilities cannot be abused. The order he hopes to establish is by no means an order based on means of mind control. He would not use this method on his own people.
But when necessary, this method can work wonders.
After completing the upgrade, his attributes become as follows:
[Hero: Gu Hang (camp leader), LV4, unable to upgrade due to lack of experience]
[Physique: 9, Spirit: 18]
[Characteristics: Psychic Caster, Governor of the Raging Owl Star]
[Talents: Body-protecting aura, mind control, mind manipulation]
Not many attributes were added this time. In addition to gaining a little spirituality from the talent of [Mind Control], the two attributes of physical fitness and spirituality remained unchanged from the normal upgrade.
Of course, it doesn't mean that it doesn't really move. In fact, he could feel that his physical quality was improving, and so was his spirituality.
However, this increase did not reach as much as one attribute point, so it was not reflected in his personal interface.
After all, the higher you go, the harder it will be to upgrade, requiring more experience accumulation and more investment in gift points. Similarly, the actual gap between each attribute point after upgrading will become larger and larger.
