Chapter 2609
Joan looked at the price list and found that the operation fee was divided into two parts.
The first is the base fee of 1,000 honor points. As long as you perform "spiritual surgery", no matter what you use it for, you have to pay this money.
Then there is an additional fee to be paid, the specific amount is proportional to the level of the ability to be transplanted, and each level corresponds to 100 honor points.
For example, if Joan asks the mastermind to transplant a 7th-level ability for himself, the total honor value that needs to be paid is 1700 points (1000+7×100).
If you don't have enough honor points, you can also pay with magic crystals.
1700 honor points are equivalent to 170 ounces of magic crystals, converted into the currency of the surface world is 102,000 gold duga, the price is quite expensive!
With Joan's current net worth, one or two hundred "spiritual surgeries" are still affordable. Anyway, there is too much money to spend, why don't you give it a try?
The idea was tempting, but Joan gave it up after careful consideration, because he couldn't provide a reasonable source for the huge fee he paid.
The current situation of the "Faster" Gnostic, although not down to the point of poverty, at least not considered rich, how much money does the Mastermind know?
If Qiao An took out a lot of magic crystals for surgery, the mastermind would definitely ask him where he got so much money. Qiao An couldn't say that he picked it up on the side of the road, could he?
The source of the huge amount of property is unknown, which is too suspicious. The mastermind will follow this clue to trace, and if his disguise is exposed, the gain will outweigh the loss.
How uncomfortable it is to have money that cannot be spent!
Qiao An sighed, somewhat understanding the feelings of the corrupt officials.
The last type of service provided by the mastermind is to guide the mind flayers to manufacture and strengthen spiritual weapons. The related technical consultation is free.
A certain ability is needed in the process of making a spiritual weapon. If you don’t know how to do it yourself, you can ask the Mastermind to do it for you, but you have to pay a sum of honor points as the service fee. After all, the time and energy of the Mastermind are very precious and cannot be given to you for free. work.
Joan was most interested in this kind of service, so he called up a list from the mastermind's knowledge base. There were hundreds of spirit weapons listed on it, all of which were the achievements of Odis's psychic technology.
Among them are the spiritual weapons that Qiao An has seen, such as "Star Iron Psionic Sword", "Moisturizing Suit" and "Portable Brain Aid", all of which can be learned from Mastermind.
Strengthening spiritual weapons, such as upgrading "+1 spiritual sword" to "+2 spiritual sword", related craft tutorials can also be downloaded for free from Mastermind.
Joan carefully read the list of spirit weapons. He has already mastered the manufacturing process of most of the spirit weapons, or he can use arcane magic with "arcane transformation" to achieve similar functions, but there are also some new knowledge , aroused his keen interest.
The magic item most familiar to mages is scrolls, and there are similar items in the spirit tool system, which are the so-called "power stones".
This kind of spar is equivalent to the "scroll" of the manifester. It is usually made of rough-processed magic crystals. The manifester can store the psychic powers he is good at in it, and it can be stimulated when needed without consuming himself. Power points, like a mage pulling a scroll.
Compared with scrolls made of parchment, the cost of power stones is higher, and the advantage is that they can be reused, unlike scrolls, which are only one-time consumables.
There is also a special spiritual weapon called "spiritual seal", which is equivalent to the "magic tattoo" in the arcane field. To put it bluntly, it is a "spiritual energy circuit" that is depicted or engraved on the surface of objects and creatures.
Each spirit seal corresponds to a psychic ability, which is in a waiting state after engraving. The maker can set the activation password by himself, or activate it automatically as long as a creature approaches.
The most common spirit seal used by mind flayers is the "Shock Seal", which is usually engraved on the door of their own house. If someone tries to break in without the owner's permission, the spirit seal will be triggered the moment the door is opened forcibly, and they will suffer from the "mind shock." Explosion" bombardment.
Spirit seals are usually one-off. If you spend enough magic crystals when engraving, you can fix the spiritual energy circuit, automatically recharge every day, and can be used repeatedly, just like a durable magic tool.
Before the birth of "Cloud Network", how to preserve spell slots for a long time was a difficult problem that all spellcasters had to face.
The power points of the manifester are the same as the spell slots of the caster. Regardless of whether you have used them up today, they will be automatically reset the next day, and the rest will be wasted. Therefore, the manifester is also faced with the challenge of how to avoid wasting power points. problem.
The stupid way that the spellcasters came up with was to condense the unused spell slots in scrolls or magic potions. The smart way was to build a "spell slot bank" and deposit the unused spell slots in the bank.
The manifesters have opened up a third way, storing inexhaustible power points in a special container, the so-called "spirit storage".
Manifesters of different genres have different techniques for making "psychic memory".
Taking Odis as an example, the mind flayers give full play to their specialties, using the transparent mucus secreted by their own bodies with super high psionic affinity as a medium to create devices for storing psionic energy.
The appearance of this "spiritual energy storage" is usually a necklace, the pendant is made of crystal or ectoplasm as the shell, and a ball of flexible and viscous mind flayer fluid is injected inside.
Mind flayers can deposit up to four times their manifest level in power points, which they can draw when needed.
It takes at least an hour to store power points into the psionic memory, during which time one must maintain concentrated meditation.
Special attention should be paid to the fact that the energy storage must not exceed the limit of the container, otherwise the internal pressure of the container is too high, and it may explode at any time!
If there are too many psionic energy points, one "spiritual energy memory" can't fit, you can make more memory, but the charging time will also increase, which is a bit troublesome.
Qiao An caressed the tentacles, thinking that the "Meditation Capsule" he had prepared could double the efficiency of arcane meditation. It should also be suitable for spiritual meditation, reducing the time for storing spiritual energy to half an hour.
Thinking of this, he decided to take the time to make a "psychic energy storage" for himself. Multiplying your current manifest level by 4 is 136, which can accommodate the power points transformed by 9 "mythical powers", which is enough for emergencies.
The next spiritual tool that aroused Joan's interest was called "Tenta Extender", which best represented the characteristics of the mind flayer's psionic technology.
This device consists of four 5-foot-long, flexible cables with a hollow core and four sets of sharp blades at the end.
The mind flayer connects this device to its tentacles, and the mucus secreted by the tentacles will be automatically injected into the inner core of the cable, so that the tentacles and the cables are firmly bonded together to form four 10-foot-long soft blades. whip.
