Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 362 Awakening of Psionic Power
In just one minute, Feilong revealed a deathly expression as I kicked one of his heads away.

"Pap~~"

A golden treasure chest, 100% pure gold, fell into the storage space and was immediately opened.

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [99R Automatic Pistol] (Quality: Cataclysmic Grade, S8, Gold)!

……

A golden pistol actually fell out?
Handguns...

It's not popular in Star Abyss. After all, the players who come to this world with the system are all incredibly powerful. This kind of short-range, weak firepower firepower is almost the most unpopular equipment in the entire Star Abyss.

This is also easy to understand.

What man in the world, with an invincible appearance, would masturbate?
A quick glance revealed the stats of this 99R weapon; not bad, it might be okay to use it occasionally!
【99R Automatic Pistol】(Quality: Catastrophe Grade, S8, Gold)

Rank: Sixth Rank

Basic parameters: Firepower 1200-1500, Rate of fire 200 rounds/minute, Magazine capacity 20 rounds, Effective range 50 meters

Strength: +70
Agility: +68
Spirit: +65
Weight: 1.8KG
Blessing: Increases critical strike damage by 50%.
Strength required: 600
Required Agility: 300
……

The stats are a bit weak, but overall it's okay; it's still good enough to scare people.

Moreover, since it's a gold-tier item, placing it in the pistol slot will increase three rows of attributes, making it a pretty good item. No doubt about it, keep it and equip it!

So, after equipping the 99R, my mental strength finally broke through 1000 and reached 1001 points!
In the 4.0 Warp Storm expansion, which is dominated by psionic energy, these 1001 points of mental energy will be crucial; they are practically my lifeline against psionic energy!
I glanced at the time and decided to get something to eat.

So, sitting next to the flying dragon's corpse, he took out a plate of fried rice from that private restaurant in Donghu from his storage space, wolfed it down, and then had a glass of iced soda—perfect!
"Fatty, how's it going over there?"

He picked up his power sword and walked back towards the trembling insects, while also asking a question in the squad channel.

"everything is normal."

The fat man laughed and said, "But this medium-sized insect hive actually hides a surprise grand prize. It's directly connected to another medium-sized insect hive. Now we've got some fun to play."

"Be careful, don't underestimate your opponent."

I warned, "Our first captain in Ding Han's squad was blown up by a suicide bomber because he underestimated the enemy..."

"I've also heard a little about Chief Chen's deeds..."

This bastard was desperately trying to hold back his laughter, but he still pretended to be very sad.

"How's Old Chen's upgrade progress?" I continued to ask.

Cai Cai said, "Old Chen's level is a bit low, but he levels up very quickly. He has already leveled up 3 times in just 12 hours. I estimate that he should be able to reach level 55 by tomorrow."

"Not bad, keep it up!"

Continue, conserve ammunition, swing the power sword and charge into a swarm of scorpions, sweeping through the insects like a whirlwind, basically killing them all instantly. The monster-killing efficiency is even higher than that of the Golden Conqueror!
……

Before we knew it, it was 11:30 p.m.

After resting for a while, he took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Qingying: "Qingying, I'm still in the mission map, and the progress is going smoothly, but I definitely won't be able to go back tonight. You should go to sleep early and lock the door!"

"Good~"

Lin Qingying replied, "I have a very important meeting tomorrow morning, so I'm going to sleep now. Be careful."

"Don't worry, go to sleep!"

I put the phone back in the storage space and continued wielding my sword to kill the bugs.

And so, it was midnight in the blink of an eye.

Just as midnight arrived, an incredibly powerful mental force suddenly swept down like a raging tide, instantly destroying my mental defenses.

The next second, he stood there, holding his power sword, and drifted off to sleep.

Time seemed to stand still, and I was in a dream, forced into a dream state, looking around blankly.

The scene in this dream looks familiar; it resembles a mountain.

That's right, it's Tianping Mountain, and it's Tianping Mountain in late autumn, with the maple leaves turning completely red!
"..."

I was slightly taken aback. In the real world, Tianping Mountain is my favorite scenic spot in Suzhou, without exception, even surpassing Tiger Hill and Humble Administrator's Garden, simply because the autumn scenery of Tianping Mountain is simply perfect, with the whole mountain covered in red leaves, a breathtaking sight.

I used to climb this mountain with Fatty.

During my middle school years, the school organized an autumn outing for students to climb Tianping Mountain. The image of Huixiang, the school beauty from the next class, standing on the top of the mountain with her arms outstretched against the wind is forever etched in my memory.

Of course, that was just the stirrings of adolescence. What I really wanted to see was to hold Lin Qingying's hand and climb Tianping Mountain. I had told her about this before, and she longed for it just as much.

Therefore, the autumn scenery of Tianping Mountain is a little secret that I kept deep in my heart and only shared with Lin Qingying.

And then, I entered a dream and found myself directly in the sacred place in my heart!
"Ding Han, why are you spacing out?"

Suddenly, Lin Qingying's voice came from the side.

When I turned around, I saw her wearing a trench coat and with her long hair flowing in the wind. At that moment, she was as beautiful as the autumn scenery on the mountain.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

However, amidst a sinister laugh, Lin Qingying's figure vanished into the suddenly appearing mist, which even shrouded the entire mountain. Then, the voice appeared ahead.

"The illusions of the mortal world are all false. I never thought that someone as dignified as Zhu Ying would be deceived by such superficial appearances. It's truly laughable."

"..."

I immediately drew my power sword, pointed it in that direction, and frowned, asking, "Who?"

A figure emerged from the mist.

He was slightly hunched over, wearing a bamboo hat and a tattered cloak. He held a blood-red dagger in his hands, and a bell hung at his waist, swaying in the wind and ringing continuously.

The ringing was relentlessly piercing my ears, giving me a headache.

"Hey hey hey..."

He turned around, revealing a terrifying face, and said with a sinister smile, "Who do you think I am?"

Damn, that face!
too ugly!
However, his appearance... he held a dagger, wore a cloak, looked like an assassin, and had a bell hanging from his waist...

Its appearance bears a striking resemblance to the Nightmare, one of the five Chaos Lords on the Warp Bounty List. Could it really be it? A Chaos Lord invading the Dream Realm is no small matter!
And could the previous invasion of players' dreams and the killings in their dreams also be related to this Nightmare? By the way, Nightmare's nickname is "Dream Eater," so it's almost certain that it's related to him!

"Hehe, Zhu Ying, Ding Han, interesting!"

The monster grinned menacingly, then suddenly opened its mouth and spat out countless earthworm-like tentacles that swept across the land!

There was no way to resist; skills could not be used in the dream, and even the power sword became dull and lifeless.

In the blink of an eye, I was bound tightly by these disgusting tentacles.

At that moment, the Yuanli Furnace hummed, like a furnace being lit, emitting extremely high temperatures. Immediately, the tentacles seemed unable to bear the scorching heat and retracted.

"Bastard!"

Nightmare gritted his teeth and stared at me with icy eyes.

"We'll see, we'll meet someday."

As he spoke, he slowly retreated and disappeared into the boundless mist.

……

"call……"

I breathed a sigh of relief and woke up from this nightmare!

Holy crap, that's kind of scary!

Looking down, I saw several hydralisks with their jaws wide open, trying to bite my leg.

Fuck you, stomp on him!
Just after I stomped on a few Hydralisks, I quickly opened the squad chat: "Have you guys entered the dream yet?"

"Have……"

Huo Bingzhi said, "That was terrifying. The person who appeared in my dream seemed to be the fourth-ranked Chaos Demon Lord, the Nightmare. I wonder if it was him."

"It's Hunger."

Ruolin said, "I dreamed about it too!"

Immediately afterwards, a loud "slap slap slap" sound came from the other side.

I paused for a moment: "Um... who's on business here? Could you please have some manners and mute your microphone?"

"Hahahaha~~~"

Everyone burst into laughter. Cai Cai said, "Boss, it's not about doing business. It's just that that damn old Chen is still asleep, and Fatty is slapping him across the face right now."

"What happened?"

Just then, Old Chen's voice came from the other end.

Looks like everything's alright.

At that moment, a voice like a dragon's cry echoed from within the Star Chart: "Attention all online brothers! Check if your teammates have woken up from the nightmare. If not, find a way to wake them up quickly. Staying trapped in the nightmare for too long will cause it to drain your mental energy!"

So I quickly called out to Milo.

"Luo'er, Luo'er, my Luo'er, you fucking answer me now!"

"Cough cough, he's awake..."

Milo looked completely bewildered: "What's going on, Ding Han? Who is this person in my dream? It's terrifying! It turned into a giant squid and almost ate me whole."

"Nightmare, one of the five Chaos Demon Lords."

I frowned: "I'm glad you're alright. I was really worried that your furnace quality wouldn't keep up and you'd get burned."

"I almost got raped, damn it, that was terrifying..." He was still shaken.

"Don't delay, contact Zuo Shou right away and have him arrange for someone to help you level up so you can reach level 60 as soon as possible!"

“I know, but I have to prepare for the concert and rehearse with the whole band.”

"You're going to hold a concert like this?! Don't you want to live anymore?!"

I was furious and immediately started swearing.

"Damn it, why are they swearing..."

"I feel like hitting someone right now, Milo. Don't give me that hopeless attitude. I thank your whole family."

"Cough cough, I know, I've already told Zuo Shou that I'll go out with his men to kill bugs tomorrow," he said, trembling.

"That's more like it. I'll get back to work now."

"Ok!"

After scolding Milo, he asked about the situation of the rest of the team again.

"Boss..."

Suddenly, Kou Mei exclaimed in surprise, "I think... I think I can use the Spirit Furnace again! My spiritual energy has been restored!"

"real?!"

"Yeah, really!"

Then, Faye and Bingzi were overjoyed, as their psionic powers had been restored.

……

"what happened?"

Nana's voice was grave: "Nightmare entered a dream and actually caused a psionic player to awaken their psionic abilities?"

"Yes."

Kou Mei was also amazed.

Finally, Ruolin, being the most perceptive, said, "It should be related to the behavior of waking up from a dream. Elemental power players break free from dreams using the Elemental Power Furnace, while spiritual power players break free using the Mental Power Furnace. The Mental Power Furnace was dormant for the past few days. It was the Nightmare's entry into the dream that caused the Mental Power Furnace to reawaken. I think that's probably the reason."
