Chapter 241 Intruder

Chen Ming searched on the web page.

When his eyes swept through the various options, he suddenly saw an option for a custom psychic weapon that Bai Quan had made for him some time ago.

It requires 1,000 contribution points, and the materials are provided by yourself.

I don’t know where Bai Quan, a non-psychic, got this thing from before.

In addition to choosing this customization, you can also actively purchase some unique weapons and equipment with psychic properties on the website.

They all seem to be things found in the ruins of another civilization.

For example, psychic fluctuations can be converted into weapons with physical killing properties.

And by injecting mental power in advance, using the special structure in the device to create a layer of mental shield and other equipment.

However, compared to these things that Chen Ming can replace with his own ability, he is more concerned about another kind of psychic melee weapon with the characteristics of spiritual stone.

The category of melee weapons is quite special. If there is not enough coordination, melee weapons are definitely not as good as long-range weapons such as guns.

But what is strange is that the prices of several melee weapons that Chen Ming sees now are higher than those of some other weapons with psychic properties.

And the price is not for the kind of psychic weapons that only have the name and gimmick of psychic weapons, but can only be used as auxiliary, but the real psychic weapons that can transform psychic fluctuations or mental power into output means.

Chen Ming took a rough look at the introduction, and these melee weapons were actually found from another civilization.

The introduction said that this is not to embed the spirit stone into the psychic weapon, nor is it to grind or forge the spirit stone into some simple cold weapons.

Instead, the effect of the spirit stone is completely integrated with the weapon.

This means that the spirit stone and the psychic material that constitutes the weapon have excellent compatibility.

It is not like Chen Ming simply embedding the Word of Madness spirit stone into his "Ming" now, but a real combination of the two.

If the user has a very good compatibility with this kind of psychic weapon, then the increase obtained from the psychic weapon will definitely increase exponentially.

Even if the compatibility between the user and the material properties of the psychic weapon is not very good, it is definitely better than other psychic weapons with randomly embedded spirit stones.

When Chen Ming's "Ming" was first acquired, the basic mental power increase given was 1.1 times.

After the inlay of the Word of Madness Spiritual Stone, the effect reached 1.3 times.

Overall, it doesn't look much.

The reason is that the designer chose materials with relatively neutral and peaceful properties to make psychic weapons for Chen Ming. After all, Chen Ming has not undergone a systematic physical examination until now, and the nature of Chen Ming's psychic power is still uncertain.

Therefore, the choice of materials must be based on materials with a wide range of applications.

But because the nature of the Word of Madness Spiritual Stone inlaid by Chen Ming is relatively intense, the superposition of the two is not much.

But if the psychic weapon itself is made of materials with relatively extreme properties, or Chen Ming also chooses to inlay a relatively ordinary spirit stone, then the superposition effect of the spirit stone of the same nature is definitely extraordinary.

This is just inlaying. If you want to achieve a perfect fusion effect, then the material properties of the two must be almost identical.

The final amplification effect on the user can be imagined.

The exaggerated amplification alone is enough to make people envious.

And there is another special thing, that is, this kind of psychic melee weapon really has modern and even futuristic technology.

Because the name of this melee weapon that Chen Ming likes is the single-molecule crystal gold sword.

Single molecule means a single molecule in the blade.

And crystal gold is a special grade material.

A sword made of special grade material has only one molecule in the blade, so the cutting strength seems to be really exaggerated.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Ming was busy thinking about the purpose of this thing and whether its function was powerful, and he almost forgot one thing.

Hasn't his psychic power been able to involve the microscopic field for a long time?

He has been able to control atomic-level materials for a long time, that is, he can also make a single-molecule sword.

Chen Ming raised one hand.

Metal liquid condensed in his hand out of thin air, and a sci-fi long sword exactly like the one on the website appeared in his hand.

Except for the slightly different materials, because Chen Ming did not have crystal gold, he could only use other special grade materials instead.

And there was no nanorobot inside the handle, it was a single-molecule sword.

Bai Quan, who was sorting out the teaching plan next to him, saw this scene and immediately asked: "What are you doing?"

"I'm looking to see if these things are worth the price."

"?"

Bai Quan put down the computer and walked to Chen Ming's side. He looked at the terminal in Chen Ming's hand and the sword that had already formed, and said: "Then you made a single-molecule sword yourself?"

"Yes, but I can't fuse the psychic material with the spiritual stone."

"And there seems to be another problem."

Chen Ming turned the tip of the sword to point directly at the ground, and then let go.

It did not sink directly into the ground as Chen Ming had expected at the beginning, leaving only the hilt outside, but after piercing the ground for about one-third of the length of the sword body, it was fixed in place at an angle.

Its blade was blunt.

The blade of the monomolecular sword is pure monomolecular. After having a terrifying cutting ability, it also means that the blade is extremely fragile.

Now Chen Ming knows what the nanorobot in the hilt is used for.

It is used to maintain the blade to ensure that the monomolecular structure of the blade is not damaged.

It can only be said that another civilization really used some unexpected things in unexpected places in design.

Chen Ming bent down and pulled out the sword on the ground, raised it to the previous position and released it again.

And this time when the monomolecular sword fell, Chen Ming continued to use maintenance psychic energy on the sword.

This time the sword body successfully sank into the ground completely, leaving only the hilt outside.

Seeing this scene, Bai Quan said: "So what is your conclusion? Is it worth it?"

"It's okay."

"It's really worth the price for others, but it's a bit of a loss for me."

After all, Chen Ming can replace both the monomolecular and nanorobots by himself. The only thing that is valuable to him about this weapon is the fusion of the spirit stone and the psychic weapon.

And this nanorobot gives Chen Ming a feeling of using a circuit board on an arrow.

Although according to the technology of that civilization, there must be a reason for the existence of such a thing, and he himself can think of it.

For example, once any psychic with super strong charge and mobility ability gets this monomolecular sword, its strength will definitely be acceptable.

But if there is no need for close combat, or it can be guaranteed that it will not be close to the enemy, then it is hard to say.

Chen Ming generally does not take risks.

The chance of being hit by someone in the face should not exist after having a prosthesis.

So although Chen Ming does think that this kind of thing that completely integrates spiritual stone and psychic weapons is good, it is not worth it if it is to lose money.

Just get an ordinary monomolecular sword and use it.

Chen Ming passed the psychic monomolecular sword and looked at other things.

Soon, two unique weapons appeared in his eyes.

The mind shock gun and the mind confusion gun.

The size of a rifle, the appearance looks black and green, and the shape is simple enough to barely look like a gun.

Their effect is also simple and crude, which is to directly release mind pulses.

One pulse will directly cause a mental shock, knocking people unconscious, while the other pulse will interfere with the consciousness of the person hit.

It will cause the brain of the person hit to be confused and attack other people around indiscriminately, just like the mental pulse generators that the mechanical race used to throw around.

However, the manual says that this is a weapon for riot control, not lethal, and it looks a little kinder than the things used by the mechanical race.

But the introduction also says that this thing has a chance of burning the brain due to mental shock, and it is hard not to wonder whose riot it is suppressing.

In short, Chen Ming has got the device that emits mental pulses, so he doesn't need it now. He probably took a few glances and continued to look at other things.

Chen Ming found that many things on this website looked good.

But either he didn't need it, or he already had a substitute.

So Chen Ming finally looked at the material area after reluctantly marking a few things that might be useful.

Materials are more useful to him than other things. At least he can freely make materials into what he needs.

And the value of various psychic materials ranges from a few contributions to hundreds or thousands.

The most expensive ones are basically special-grade materials with psychic properties.

For example, the psychic crystal gold material used to make the psychic crystal gold single molecule he just saw, even though crystal gold is only in the middle and lower reaches of special materials, the value of one kilogram is about 1,200 contribution points.

There will also be different price trends depending on the nature of the psychic energy.

The more positive the emotion, the higher the value, and the more extreme the value.

Among them, the most valuable is a crystal gold material with the material property of "ecstasy", and the price is even 3,000 contribution points.

No wonder that single-molecule sword is so expensive, and the material also accounts for a lot of it.

Then Chen Ming can't buy this thing even more.

After resolutely thinking about it, Chen Ming continued to look.

In addition to these materials that can be mined naturally, the others are some materials obtained from psychic creatures.

There are skin, flesh, bones, blood, etc. After all, the psychic energy of psychic creatures exists in itself, so the whole psychic creature is valuable.

It's just that Chen Ming suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have seen many psychic creatures until now, let alone powerful psychic creatures.

He had seen powerful creatures before, such as the Queen of Insects, the Aurora Wind Spirit, and the Phase Beast before, but there were not many psychic creatures.

If he could come across a few of them, he would definitely try to capture them.

Chen Ming looked at the list of these biological materials, and all kinds of strange thoughts kept flashing in his mind.

And one of these strange thoughts suddenly hovered in his mind.

Are the materials produced by Yan Xiong considered materials for psychic creatures or other materials that can be mined?

No, what he should be entangled with is not the nature of psychic materials, but the purpose of these psychic materials.

Chen Ming suddenly looked up at Bai Quan and said, "Let me ask you a question, where do the things that are exchanged on these websites come from?"

"Many of these materials are supplies seized from various wars, and some are sold by psychics on their own initiative, and then they are allocated here."

"Does this mean I can sell this kind of thing?"

"Yes, there is a special person to purchase it. It's over at the Psychic Research Institute of the headquarters. I'll go back and find out for you. What do you want to sell?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, so don't worry. Can the things I get in exchange for contribution points be resold?"

"If you are short of money, you can indeed sell it. There are also marks in the introduction on the website. If you have marked it, you cannot sell it. If you sell it, it is against the rules. But if you don't mark it, you can do whatever you want."

Bai Quan randomly clicked on something on the terminal in Chen Ming's hand and pointed at an inconspicuous little hook.

Chen Ming nodded.

This also seems to be a way to make extra money.

"Can psykers trade these things internally with each other?"

"Yes, yes, but just like reselling, only those who have checked the box can be sold casually, and those who have not checked can only be sold among psychics of official forces such as the military and government."

"And I heard that the things used by you psychics are generally traded face-to-face. It is said that you are very particular about whether things are suitable. You will only trade after face-to-face confirmation. If it is not suitable, it will be terminated."

Chen Ming nodded again and said: "Similar concepts do exist."

Just like when he was condensing the source of spiritual energy before, it all depends on fate whether a material is suitable or not.

Just before Chen Ming was about to continue asking questions, Bai Quan said: "However, we currently have only three psykers in the branch, including you, and only a little more in the headquarters. It is not easy to trade now. "

"oh."

It seems that if I have the opportunity to go to the headquarters, I can try to trade something with others.

Chen Ming lowered his head again.

He looked at another thing that interested him, fairy tree species.

However, when Chen Ming saw the price, he immediately ignored it.

The value of a fairy tree species is 20,000 contribution points.

Although this is a raw material for making many medicines and plays an extremely important role for psychics, Chen Ming really doesn't have that many points.

Now he could only temporarily mark this tree species, and by the way, he raised Yan Xiong's value in his heart. After all, there were people who were willing to exchange the fairy tree seedlings for Yan Xiong before.

Then he turned his attention to another thing that was more important to him that he could probably afford now.

Artificial enlightenment nerves.

Chen Ming is now only a little bit away from the key node. If he can use this spiritual nerve, he might be able to cross it directly.

The value of an artificial spiritual nerve is 10,000 contribution points.

It is equivalent to exchanging a special merit for an opportunity to become a psyker.

Chen Ming suddenly raised his head again and looked at Bai Quan.

Bai Quan had already sorted out the lesson plan and asked, "Have you finished reading? You can start class now."

"Wait, there is another question, where did the spiritual nerve you gave me before come from? This should be something that can only be obtained by psykers with special skills, right?"

Bai Quan recalled it for a moment and said, "It's not something that only psychics can get. It was given to me by my superiors when I was promoted to major general, but I never used it, so I gave it to you."

"I'm not interested in betting on this low probability. I might as well use it elsewhere to exchange for some resources. As you know, I got a lieutenant general instead."

Chen Ming suddenly frowned slowly because he suddenly thought of the past.

"Are the Qiling Nerves for sale? Can anything at the special level be sold?"

"And I heard that under normal circumstances, when this kind of artificial spiritual nerve is implanted in a non-psychic person, except for slightly activating the implanted person's mental power, it can actually be said to be completely meaningless."

"A special merit can only be exchanged for something with such a strong gambling nature. Is it really okay?"

Bai Quan looked at Chen Ming in surprise and asked, "Where did you hear this?"

"The boss's side."

"Oh, that's actually quite different."

"What Wu An is talking about is the spiritual enlightenment nerve that is sold to external parties, which is different from the spiritual enlightenment nerve that we actually use to give us the probability of becoming a psyker."

"Let me put it this way, after the spiritual nerves sold to the outside world are implanted, the probability of awakening spiritual energy through this spiritual nerve is 0%."

"0%?"

"Yes, it's that low. Those who seem to have awakened their psychic powers after being implanted with spiritual enlightenment nerves are 100% people who can awaken their psychic powers in the first place."

"As for whether it's worth it to have special merit in exchange for this, I can only say that this is a choice, and you don't have to choose it."

"Besides, these 10,000 contribution points are not only spiritual enlightenment nerves, but also supporting things."

Bai Quan once again recalled the various precautions for using this spiritual nerve that had been explained to him.

"First of all, if you want to implant the spiritual nerve, you must first go to the Fanchao Research Institute and undergo a physical examination to confirm your physical condition and confirm your mental state."

"Then after a period of active training to ensure mental activity, it is finally absorbed under the protection of various supporting medical facilities to ensure the safety of the absorber."

Seeing Chen Ming's expression as if he wanted to say something, Bai Quan said directly: "Not everyone is as fierce as you and can eat Qiling Nerve alive."

"The Fanchao Research Institute is the department that mainly studies this thing. The rules they set must follow their side."

"The directors of the psionic research institute of our Fourteenth Legion can only go to them to study."

"If you think about the full set of services provided by the Fanchao Research Institute, they are worthy of special honors, right?"

"As for the spiritual nerves bought by rich people, that's fine. Just find a local psychic research institute and implant them. As long as you don't torture people to death, you can do whatever you want."

"This is also a way to recover some additional assets from wealthy people."

Chen Ming suddenly couldn't understand again and asked: "Recover assets? Isn't Fanchao Research Institute an independent research institute?"

"Of course not, it's a research institute directly under the empire."

"Belongs directly to the empire..."

Bai Quan explained to Chen Ming: "The government, the army, and the ruling party of the empire are three different concepts. Generally speaking, those who are directly affiliated with the empire refer to those who are directly affiliated with the ruling party of the empire."

"I know, I just feel a little surprised. You know my hamster, right?"

"I know, I don't know where you picked up the pet rat in Fanchao's laboratory."

"Rui Mu Xing."

Chen Ming answered Bai Quan's question and said: "The problem lies with the hamster. I didn't expect that a laboratory directly under the empire would study this. I always thought that it was because the Fanchao Research Institute is an independent research institute. Study some weird stuff.”

"Forehead……"

Bai Quan also suddenly realized that there was something strange about it, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe someone within them took the time to work on this thing."

Chen Ming just felt a little strange, so he asked casually, and didn't get too entangled with Bai Quan on this matter.

Because there is another thing that he is more concerned about.

"Is this 10,000 contribution points fixed?"

"You know my situation. I don't need anyone to help me. I can absorb it myself. I can't ask them to check me. So I don't want these things. Can it be cheaper?"

Bai Quan couldn't give an answer for a while: "This... how about I go ask it for you?"

"Can't you make the decision?"

"The matter of psykers is not only an internal matter within our Fourteenth Legion. All the resources of psykers are integrated by the entire empire, and it involves the Fanchao Research Institute. This matter really needs to be asked."

"Okay, let's talk about this later."

Chen Ming threw away the terminal and sat down in his usual lecture position.

It can only be said that the number of things on this webpage is still very large, at least he can't finish it now.

He can only mark the things he is interested in first and see if there are any remaining contribution points that can be exchanged later. Now he has other things to do.

Three days later.

Bai Quan came to Chen Ming as usual.

But today was the day that he informed Chen Ming in advance that he was going to another place.

Bai Quan pushed open the door of Chen Ming's room as before and saw Chen Ming who was ready to leave at any time.

"How are the preparations going?"

Chen Ming patted the suitcase beside him and said, "It's all in there. I also stuffed a copy of the synchrotron core log I gave you yesterday."

"Nearly a month was wasted for a psyker's first-class scientific research merit. I am very curious whether Lou Wei dares to take this responsibility."

Bai Quan smiled and patted Chen Ming and said, "You want him to die."

"Okay, let's go and drive your boat."

Half an hour later.

Chen Ming and Bai Quan, along with several guards and Bai Quan's secretary, boarded the Stardust-class ship that Chen Ming had not sailed for a long time.

When boarding the ship, Bai Quan repeated the process of their trip: "This time we are going to go to a prosperous star field called Meteor first, where we will meet with Lou Wei and the others, and get the data in your hands first Hand it over and then go to the colony location."

"Should we jump over directly or walk slowly?"

"Of course, walk slowly. You can jump over there and maintain it for free? If you arrive early, you still have to wait for others. Why not let others wait for you?"

"also."

Chen Ming quickly set the route and arranged other accompanying personnel.

Then he took Bai Quan to his room on the Stardust level.

After using psychic energy to separate a classroom and study room, Chen Ming continued to start today's class.

Even if you go out to do errands, there are some things you can't stop doing.

The Stardust class travels alone in hyperspace and is expected to arrive in the bustling star field where it can detect the value of data in three days.

However, only one-third of the time on the road has passed.

Just during the day the next day, the sense of danger that had not been touched for a long time suddenly stung Chen Ming's brain.

The prosthesis on the Stardust stage is about to face danger.

Chen Ming's face changed. He put down all the work at hand on the main body and focused all his attention on the prosthetic body.

Bai Quan, who was teaching Chen Ming in the classroom at this time, noticed the change in Chen Ming's expression.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Chen Ming in front of him was instantly covered in a layer of nano-suits.

And he couldn't help but have an extra layer of protective clothing on his body that gave people a sense of security.

"what happened?"

Chen Ming did not respond. He closed his eyes slightly and concentrated on feeling the source of the danger perception.

But for some reason the sense of danger this time didn't point somewhere clearly.

It's not a threat that completely covers the entire Stardust, nor is it a threat that's too far away, it's just that there's no way to clearly sense it.

The source of danger is changing, and it seems to exist in every corner.

Suddenly, a subtle spiritual energy fluctuation was suddenly noticed by Chen Ming.

"Psychic."

Chen Ming immediately moved closer to Bai Quan.

In front of the psychic, Bai Quan, an ordinary person, is extremely vulnerable.

Only by his side can he find a way to protect Bai Quan's safety.

Chen Ming immediately tried to use the spacecraft's three-dimensional imaging to locate the intruder, but there was no sign of other people's activities on the three-dimensional imaging.

And all the monitoring equipment on the spacecraft could not find any trace of the intruder.

Chen Ming could only release a large amount of psychic fluctuations around his body, constantly trying to sense the source of the psychic fluctuations.

But just before he found the intruder, he suddenly noticed that the overall temperature of the spacecraft was rising and the entropy was increasing.

"It's Hu Yi."

Chen Ming reminded Bai Quan again, and his other hand reached to his waist.

There was a purgatory core in the bag on his waist.

At this moment.

On the ceiling above Chen Ming's head, in the dark place where the lighting equipment did not completely illuminate, a dark hand wrapped in black fog was slowly reaching out.

This hand held a long sword emitting psychic fluctuations,

and swung it violently towards Chen Ming's neck.
