This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 139 Team Invitation

[[Skill Book: Distinguishing Good and Evil]
Skill Book-
A somewhat interesting skill book, but the side effects are unbearable for ordinary people. -
Use to gain the passive skill [Good and Evil Discrimination].
-
Friends, are you interested in becoming a Xiezhi? -】

……

[Distinguishing good from evil]
Passive skill
-
Distinguish right from wrong, know good from evil, loyalty from treachery. -
Strengthens the holder's intuition.

The holder has a constant sense of good and evil towards any random external target.

The holder can discern the target's inner state.

As proficiency increases, this skill can generate new passive skills [Thought Perception] and active skills [Optimal Perception].

[Warning]: This skill cannot be turned off and may cause psychological trauma to the holder. 】

……

Nie Weiyang looked at the skill book and became interested. He stared at it, thinking.

"Why don't you let your own people use it?" he asked.

"We have three copies of the same skill book, and the other two have already been used. They said they were under a lot of pressure and asked us to carefully choose the third person." Liang Zhenduan said with a smile: "Besides, you are one of us."

Nie Weiyang was stunned for a moment.

After a moment, he took the skill book with both hands.

[Distinguishing Good and Evil]... He had seen this skill in his previous life.

At that time, there were several people in Gushi who possessed this skill. The first person was an interrogation expert. Later, he became friends with Nie Weiyang and later became one of Nie Weiyang's subordinates.

According to the person's self-submitted information, this skill has three unspecified negative side effects:
First, this skill cannot distinguish the exact ratio of truth to falsehood in a statement. Regardless of whether nine statements are true and one is false, or nine statements are false and one is true, it will be uniformly judged as a "lie." This can easily lead the user to misjudge information, or even blindly and unnecessarily doubt the person being interrogated, leading to a detour in obtaining information.

Second, if the holder tells a lie, it will also generate judgment and feedback, making it impossible for the holder to deceive themselves. But who in this world is completely self-deceiving? Sometimes people need to deceive themselves, so that they have the motivation to live.

3. If the holder goes astray, this skill will produce negative feedback.

Moreover, the two skills it spawns are even more powerful.

The former is a stereotypical mind-reading ability, but it can't be turned off either...

The latter is the stereotypical "super intuition" or "intelligence calculation", which allows the holder to observe and collect intelligence more efficiently, and then combine existing intelligence to quickly find the best option among different choices.

However, this will consume a large amount of the holder's mental strength and vitality, causing the holder to age faster than ordinary people, and easily over-consume the mind in countless pieces of information, causing the thinking to unconsciously lose sensitivity.

Of course, these things are unknown to the current Gushi. Liang Zhenduan gave him this book simply because he might be the best candidate at the moment.

But Gushi didn't know, but Nie Weiyang knew it very well...

If you take on this book, it means you take on the power to distinguish between good and evil, the responsibility to plan your choices, and also... the pressure to completely see through everything around you and accept all information indiscriminately.

Nie Weiyang pondered for a moment. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he used the skill book. "I understand," he said. Neither Liang Zhenduan nor the others immediately grasped what he meant; they simply heard him say, "I accept."

"By the way, have you found the person I'm looking for?"

……

……

Half an hour later, Nie Weiyang met two people.

They were a man and a woman, both very young. The former had a handsome appearance and it was obvious that he was used to using smiles to win the closeness of others. The latter had a cold expression and a hint of autism.

However, no matter who they were, when they were suddenly brought here from their respective homes or workplaces, and saw the local highest official and the legendary... uh, Night Heron Paladin... sitting together, their expressions were wonderful and extremely well-behaved for a moment.

"Don't be nervous, Holy Spear User Yi Jian, Extreme Cold Mage Han Jiangxue." Nie Weiyang smiled, stood up, and clapped his hands: "Let's go talk to the side."

Previously, Nie Weiyang had given Gu Shi a list full of people he wanted to find, and these two were among them.

Yi Jian, the Holy Spear User, a 26-year-old male, had traveled to Yuzhou before the apocalypse. He had just entered a hot spring late at night when he was teleported, arriving in nothing but his boxers. He was a legendary figure. In Chengluo, where he landed, he had saved many lives. The Holy Spear User class wields an energy-powered firearm that fires purifying bullets. While being vulnerable to close combat from strong melee fighters, which can make them feel uneasy, this class offers unmatched pure damage output when protected by a team.

Han Jiangxue, a 20-year-old female, cold-blooded mage with Asperger's syndrome, was silent because she was truly autistic, but beneath her outward appearance of autism lay a frenetic mind. She landed in a rather unusual location: the psychosomatic department of a mental health center. She claimed she had just been secretly playing with her phone, about to listen to a novel or watch a video, when the sound of reading mixed in with the system notifications from "New World." She was still wondering why a new chapter had suddenly opened up, when she found herself lying on the ground, wrapped in a blanket and wearing a hospital gown...

——She didn't even wonder why the sound was so chaotic.

As one can tell from their job titles, these two, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child, are both hidden professions. Like Nie Weiyang and the soul-destroying puppeteer, they are as powerful as their extreme beliefs.

Among them, the former's belief is 'I must shoot down risks that haven't arrived yet', and the derived belief skill effect is 'When the conditions are met, you can launch a powerful shot that is sure to hit the target and ignores defense'. Nie Weiyang was shot in his previous life, and it almost killed him early.

The latter's belief was unknown, but Nie Weiyang had once witnessed her ability to use it. During a high-temperature event, a blizzard froze a desert, and it took three full days for the ice and snow to disappear. However, this skill was very costly, and after using it, it took a long time for the person to reappear.

Although their profession is obviously more suitable for team combat, in their previous life, these two were both well-known lone rangers.

In this life, Nie Weiyang decided to invite them to join a loose yet tight alliance——

"Hello," he smiled and extended his hand to the two of them, showing his personal information which seemed to have an error in his level. "I'm Nie Weiyang."

The two shook hands with him one by one.

"I've invited you two here because I want to ask you two: are you interested in joining a combat team?" Nie Weiyang smiled. He got straight to the point, but carefully chose the words that would best suit the two people's wishes.

"This team doesn't necessarily work together on a regular basis, but if a serious incident occurs in any area that the locals can't handle, we'll gather and try to resolve it," he said. "For the future, and also for... protecting this world!"

　Yes, these are two terrifying righteous men () and Lao Nie's compatibility is over 90% (

　　This person is very good at picking teammates.

　　There will be many teammates in the future!
　　Teammate, great!
