Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 115 - This is the newly installed QQ
"I have a general understanding."

Si Ming listened to Liesel's explanation of her abilities.

As expected, compared to the other Celestial Team members who fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, unlocked the first stage of their genetic locks, and became team captains, Liesel, this psychic who had entered this position by chance, ultimately lacked in her enhancement setup—her enhancements from the beginning were biased towards teamwork, which made her individual survival ability slightly insufficient.

They are the type that can be accidentally killed by a flying rock.

After all, while a Stand can operate in both the real and mental realms simultaneously, it's difficult to be effective against powerful, non-intelligent entities—if faced with a surprise attack from elite mechanical puppets or a long-range, heavy-firepower sniper barrage, her fragile 'eye' would easily suffer severe damage.

After all, her enhancement system lacks both survival and mobility. It might have an advantage against intelligent beings, but it's completely ineffective against large-scale natural disasters.

—It seems we'll have to get her bodyguards.

"Hmm, the improvement in the mental domain has indeed filled the last gap in our Celestial Team. However, we need to try it a few more times to get accurate data on the specific effects... Liesel, try the mental link and see how efficient our 'local area network' is."

—Let's see who she's most compatible with on a spiritual level.

“Okay!” Liesel’s long hair, which fell to her knees, trembled slightly, and she looked very excited. She closed her eyes and carefully began to establish a mental connection.

But before that—

"Wait a minute." It was Yu Zhiwei.

The Void Scepter was thrown over, surrounded by six faintly glowing buoyant cells. It hovered in front of Liesel, and the long-haired, milky-white psychic girl instinctively caught it.

"My mental frequency is inscribed on this scepter; it's like a vaccine for you. Hold it and resist any discomfort it causes. Then, establish a mental connection, and you shouldn't see anything you shouldn't."

Yu Zhiwei rested her chin on her hand and said lazily—Liesel, who was clearly a little scared of her, looked to Si Ming for help, but Si Ming just raised his hand and waved it.

Somewhat unexpected.

However, considering that Yu Zhiwei, who is usually quite eccentric, is actually a good person at heart, this situation is not unimaginable.

"Okay, okay." The psychic gripped the scepter tightly, her thin shoulders visibly trembling slightly.

She did sense something from the scepter, but what she sensed was clearly still below her limit. A relaxed breath escaped her lips, and the next moment, Si Ming clearly sensed a quietly spreading, invisible yet tangible wave of power.

He could indeed sense the fluctuations in spiritual energy. And this time, the sensation was stronger than before. He did not resist, allowing the invisible and gentle fluctuations to carefully touch him. And the next moment, the world in his eyes suddenly changed.

Si Ming: [It's like wearing AR glasses. Yeah, seeing things now has a built-in chat HUD.]

Valentina: [Hmm... Is that so? How amazing.]

The thought merely shifts, yet the intention is conveyed. The companions are clearly close at hand, yet seem to reside in another independent and distant realm.

It is indeed somewhat like a chat group, but compared to a regular chat group, the connection is more private and stable. When thoughts converge, one can also perceive the general state and subtle emotions of the connected person. For example, Valentina is currently filled with a sense of curiosity and exploration.

Jacob: [The mind link is indeed like this, hmm... much clearer than when I was in the Sands team. Back then, the psychics could only link with three people at a time, and it was somewhat unstable.]

Almaria: [At least the Sands team still has a connection. When I was with the North Sea team, the psychics only bought scanners. We communicated separately using walkie-talkies.]

Jacob and Almaria felt a mix of emotions: sighs and longing.

Song Tian: [Yes, it's very convenient.]

Luo Yinglong: [Can I request a song?]

Liesel: [Okay, okay, but I might not sing very well... LA—]

In reality, Luo Yinglong blinked and suddenly jumped up with a start. He waved his hand while instinctively reaching for the non-existent earphone in his ear. This time, however, it was Yu Zhiwei who raised her hand and unleashed a powerful telekinetic palm strike.

"It's so impolite to make a lady I just met do this kind of thing."

That slap was very powerful.

Luo Yinglong let out a series of screams for mercy and disappeared over the horizon several kilometers away. Even so, his voice still echoed in the mental connection.

Luo Yinglong: [I was wrong, I'm so sorry! ahh ...

There's also the mixing effect; the connection strength is indeed quite good.

Liesel stood there, somewhat bewildered. Simin, however, nodded to her from the real world and said...

"Could you scan Luo Yinglong's current condition and then share the image with us?"

"Sure, it'll be ready soon."

My vision flickered.

It didn't obstruct observation in the present world, but out of the corner of their eyes, they could catch a glimpse of the view from several kilometers away—Luo Yinglong had obediently stuck his head into the ground, temporarily serving as a potted plant. His current state was displayed in the perception of the reincarnators as an ultra-high-definition image.

Images are just images; you can only see the surface.

Si Ming: [Luo Yinglong, try your luck.] Luo Yinglong: [Uh…can you give me some privacy?]

Even so, Luo Yinglong still mobilized some energy. Eight-colored true energy surged through his meridians. And with the activation of Liesel's X-ray vision filter, the energy reactions within his body were reflected in the scanning perspective shared by Liesel.

You can see it.

Si Ming: [Would you like to try astral projection again?]

Luo Yinglong: [Just so you know, I've already reached the Possession Realm and am about to achieve Great Success and ascend to Ghost Immortal status. Don't blame me for being too capable if you can't see me...]

You can see it.

Luo Yinglong: [Really?!]

Si Ming turned his head and glanced at Yu Zhiwei in the mortal realm.

"Can you see it?"

“I can’t see it.” Yu Zhiwei’s eyes flickered with the faint glow of the Magic Eye when it was activated. “All I can see is the scene transmitted by Liesel. If I want to use the Dot-Line Magic Eye through mental scanning, then Liesel and I would probably need to merge even more deeply. But for now, I don’t agree with doing that.”

It is indeed too early.

Yu Zhiwei rarely spoke during their mental connection—just now, when she merely showed a tendency to communicate telepathically, Liesel's brow furrowed slightly, and a bead of sweat appeared on her forehead. For a reincarnator whose genetic lock had been unlocked to the second stage, such an obvious outward appearance clearly indicated an immense burden.

The connection was then broken.

The reincarnators of the Celestial Team exchanged glances and offered a barrage of positive assessments. Undoubtedly, this power would be a tremendous asset to the current Celestial Team, significantly increasing their functionality and tactical options.

The white-haired psychic breathed a sigh of relief.

She picked up the Han Kong Scepter and was about to walk to Yu Zhiwei's seat to return it to her.

"Miss Yu Zhiwei, here you go... eh?"

Yu Zhiwei waved her hand.

“Keep it.” She looked Liesel up and down. “Without this scepter, you won’t be able to do anything else after you’ve linked with me. And besides, you don’t have any weapons or armor on you.”

"I still have a smart pistol, at least..."

"To kill mosquitoes?"

"Gu..."

“Keep it, Liesel,” Siming interrupted their polite exchanges. “Psychic users do need to ensure their own safety. And since Yu Zhiwei gave you this scepter, it means you have the talent to use it—telekinesis is indeed a fairly versatile means of self-defense. Moreover…”

He looked at Yu Zhiwei.

"Looks like you have shopping plans?"

“Yes.” Yu Zhiwei stretched. “The gains from the match were pretty good, enough to slightly improve my combat power. And I currently have an A and a B that I don’t need, perfect for buying weapons and skills.”

Weapons and skills, compared to bloodlines, can both provide an immediate boost to combat power. Clearly, the A-rank troll bloodline isn't very effective for her at this point. And until she grows strong enough to suppress her own destiny, she probably won't further enhance her Dot-Line Demon Eye.

and so……

The light curtain descended.

—【Shadow Lurker—derived from 'pan-fantasy', grants smoother movement and traversal within shadows, and the ability to 'shape shadow blades,' allowing the creation of weapons from shadows for combat. This enhancement is a skill-based enhancement, requiring mental potential to use.】

—[To redeem this enhancement, you need to complete one B-rank side quest and earn 4000 reward points. The Shadow Walker is also a prerequisite.]

"Wait! So you didn't enhance the Shadow Lurker?! Then what happened just now!?"

Luo Yinglong had quietly returned to the table at some point, and was making a noisy, strange noise.

The next moment, a huge shadowy club suddenly appeared at his feet, causing him to obediently shut his mouth.

"Perhaps it's because I have abundant talent," Yu Zhiwei hummed softly. "Or maybe it's because I've unlocked the third stage of my genetic lock, making me stronger? Anyway, I already have some suitable plans. And..."

The beam of light descended.

The shadow beneath her feet immediately surged and pulsed, instantly forming numerous swords and blades. These materialized weapons then coalesced, splicing together with her nano-dress to transform into an elegant, dark-colored armor.

It's obvious this guy has a ulterior motive.

And beyond that—

"I do need to upgrade my weapons. Luckily, I can afford to buy a set of telekinetic drones now."
