OBS Chapter 1942
Chapter 1942
As the starry sky descends, Island F-001 is bathed in soft starlight.
The Evernight Islands have no night, but there is a period of relatively dim starlight.
In the villa at the very center of the island, Xu Jingming had just finished taking a shower.
I changed into a comfortable black casual outfit and sat on the sofa in the living room.
"Master, please have some tea."
A holographic projection of a short-haired high school girl appeared beside me.
A small flying robot emerged from the kitchen and placed a cup of fragrant spiritual tea on the table.
The tea crystals were crystal clear, with a few emerald green spirit leaves floating on the surface.
Xu Jingming took the teacup and took a small sip.
Suddenly, he felt a warm current slide from his throat into his stomach, instantly dispelling the fatigue from a month of continuous fighting in the monster trial area.
This is the benefit of having a smart home assistant; you don't have to do anything yourself, and you can enjoy the most comfortable service as soon as you come back.
"Bring up the academy's online store."
Xu Jingming put down his teacup and spoke.
"Yes, Master."
With a crisp response from Number One.
A pale blue holographic projection unfolded in front of Xu Jingming, displaying the Starry Sky Academy's massive online store interface.
Although Senior Sister Ye Li will not be teaching until tomorrow, Xu Jingming plans to make some preparations for the mission he will be carrying out with Yueying and the others the day after tomorrow.
"Although it's only a C-level mission, the highest-ranking demons at the third level of the Star Realm are not a challenge for me."
But better safe than sorry; thorough preparation is essential before undertaking any mission.
Xu Jingming's clear, cold eyes held a hint of caution.
Needless to say, he is currently using the best combat suit and weapons available at the moment.
The most crucial ingredient is still the elixir.
"If we could have a highly effective pill that could instantly turn the tide of battle..."
Xu Jingming's gaze swept quickly across the mall interface.
The store offers a wide variety of elixirs, ranging from basic healing pills to miraculous pills that can bring the dead back to life.
Of course, the prices range from tens of points to millions of points.
After careful selection, Xu Jingming finally spent more than 1 points to purchase three different types of pills.
The first type is A4 grade Yuan Dan, which can quickly restore Yuan energy. I bought a total of 4 pills.
With his Star-level second-tier Yuan Energy reserves, once depleted, swallowing one pill would allow him to fully recover in a short time.
However, there are limitations to the use of such a highly effective elixir.
Only one device can be used within 12 hours, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the user.
The second type is A1 grade detoxification pills, and I also bought 4 of them.
The enemy's attack does not necessarily come from the front.
Poisoning is a common practice, and it's always wise to be prepared.
This antidote can neutralize most known toxins, including some special venoms of the demon race.
The last type is the S1 grade healing pill.
This elixir was the most expensive, costing him a full eight thousand points.
But the effects are also the most amazing.
Once swallowed, it will work as long as there is still a breath left.
No matter how severe the injury, even a broken hand or leg, it can recover quickly, which is equivalent to having an extra life.
"The pills are all prepared, but we're still missing a mental combat skill."
Xu Jingming pondered in his heart.
Based on his experience on Earth.
Such reconnaissance missions would be much simpler to carry out if aided by a mental technique.
The level of the Slave Heart Seal he had previously mastered was too low, and it was no longer sufficient for him now.
"Number One, a mental combat skill that searches for enslavement and is compatible with my current mental strength."
"Screening for owner..."
The content on the holographic projection changed rapidly, eventually displaying dozens of T4-level mental combat skills.
Xu Jingming carefully browsed through the descriptions of each combat technique, and finally his gaze settled on a technique called 'Mind Control'.
Mind Control (T5): Uses mental power as an attack method. Once successfully released, it can make the target completely obey the user for a period of time.
The duration of control is related to the caster's mental strength, with a basic release requirement of 700 billion Hertz of mental energy.
"The basic requirement of 700 billion Hertz of mental power is just right for me."
Xu Jingming decisively spent 1 points to buy it.
The T5-level combat skills of the mental system are extremely complex.
Even with a teacher's guidance, it would take an average student decades or even centuries to comprehend it.
But for him, all he needs to do is get a basic understanding, and then he can simply add points through the system.
Soon, he received the secret manual through the virtual universe.
"Interesting, so this is how mind control is achieved."
Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed as he roughly skimmed through the manual.
As a master of mental techniques, he immediately recognized the brilliance of this combat manual.
"If we study it with all our might, we should be able to understand it to the point where we can add points to it before we reach Meteorite Star."
Concentrating intently, Xu Jingming quickly became engrossed in studying the secret manual...
......
The next morning, the starlight had just fallen over the Everlasting Day Islands.
Having studied the secret manual all night, Xu Jingming was already practicing his marksmanship at the training ground.
Dark golden lightning swirled around him, and each thrust of his spear carried the force of a thunderbolt.
Suddenly, Xu Jingming had an idea. He put away his gun, stood up, and turned to look at the edge of the training field.
The space there rippled like water, and a tall, slender figure in black appeared out of nowhere—it was Ye Li.
Today she wore a form-fitting black outfit that perfectly accentuated her slender and tall figure.
Her long black hair fell naturally to her pert buttocks, and her cold and beautiful face still carried that aura of keeping strangers at bay.
"Sister."
Xu Jingming bowed respectfully.
Ye Li nodded slightly, her cold eyes sweeping over Xu Jingming, a hint of surprise flashing across her face:
"You've broken through to the second level of the Star Realm?"
Xu Jingming nodded frankly: "I just broke through a few days ago."
"good."
Ye Li rarely showed a hint of approval, "It seems you haven't been slacking off lately."
She walked slowly to the center of the training field, her black combat boots making no sound as they touched the ground.
"Now that you've broken through to a higher level, how's your progress in comprehending the 'Source Core Manual'?"
Xu Jingming immediately reported on his progress in cultivation over the past period.
After hearing this, Ye Li frowned slightly.
Indeed, compared to his talent in the realm of weaponry.
Xu Jingming has a very low compatibility with the "Origin Core Secret Manual".
However, she didn't point this out, but instead changed the subject:
"Did you sign up for the demon-hunting competition?"
"How did you know, senior sister?"
Xu Jingming was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.
He signed up a few months ago, and only Yueying, Beth, and a few others should know about it.
He didn't think Senior Sister Ye Li would ask others for such a trivial matter.
"Because I am the team leader for this Starry Sky Academy Demon Hunting Competition, I can see the registration list of everyone from Starry Sky Academy," Ye Li said calmly.
Xu Jingming suddenly realized why Ye Li knew his whereabouts.
