My stats are higher than yours!

Supplement 2: At this moment, the Blood Demon Armor has absorbed an excessive amount of life force and needs time to transform into demonic blood.

⑤ Growth through Blood: The Blood Demon Armor can grow and improve its quality by consuming blood.

Synopsis: It has had countless owners, but has never truly been owned by anyone. Now, it seems to have met a special person, someone it may remember for a lifetime.

The Blood Demon Armor can indeed rapidly improve its quality by absorbing life force, and its advancement is indeed not difficult. However, this does not mean that the Blood Demon Armor can absorb life force infinitely in a short period of time.

Countless people died on the battlefield, but the Blood Demon Armor didn't actively absorb much of it. It wasn't because it couldn't absorb it, but because absorbing too much in a short period of time might affect its digestive efficiency.

Just like how eating too much can stretch the stomach and affect digestion efficiency, the same applies to the Blood Demon Armor.

The Blood Demon Armor has an ∞ durability because it is a life form created from blood energy, completely different from normal equipment. It has no basic materials; its absorption and capacity depend entirely on the strength of its core. Its quality directly determines the absorption efficiency and upper limit.

so...

Rather than calling the Blood Demon Armor an equipment, it's more accurate to describe it as a special life form that looks like equipment and can be used as such.

It really does eat until it's stuffed!

“You’re really useless. Even black Hakimi lasts longer than you,” Bai Shuodong sighed.

"Snoring..."

Under the table, the black cat emitted a purring sound like an engine, its head gradually becoming rounder, and its face showing a fierce expression, as if it had completed some kind of special transformation.

"Hey, hey, there's someone here. Cat Bro, hold on a minute, let's go back and play hide-and-seek again." Bai Shuodong laughed without a care, and even bent down to reach out and pet the cat's head with one hand.

"what!!"

The black cat hissed, and the cat nimbly dodged, scratching his hand with its claw.

Bai Shuodong didn't care and still had that smiling look on his face, but he just put his hand back.

"Clap!"

Not far away, the sound of something falling to the ground could be heard.

Bai Shuodong turned his head to look.

Xia Yanxin stood not far away, the plate in her hand fell to the ground, her expression changing from joy to blankness, then to shock, and finally settling into heavy disappointment and sadness.

"Ugh!"

She sighed deeply and said, "So you're this kind of cat behind the scenes? I thought you were different. You were smart, gentle, and cute, the best cat in the world."

"I never expected this... I never expected this..."

“You’re like this in a place without me. I thought you were different.”

"Meow!!"

The black cat got anxious, meowed, and waved its little paws wildly in the air.

Bai Shuodong could even see human-like anxiety on its face, as well as an explanatory posture, but Xia Yanxin didn't believe it; she felt like she had been deceived.

This little black cat is acting.

The more human-like its actions are at this moment, the more it proves its intelligence, and it's more likely that it's trying to trick people into giving it something delicious.

Chapter Eighty-Eight: The True World of Psionicists!

Bai Shuodong tilted his head, pointed, and smiled, thinking to himself: It's getting anxious! It's getting anxious!

Hey!

Black Hakimi is still too young!

Although I might be a bit of a jerk, is Xia Yanxin really such a good person?

True rivals are often able to sense each other's habits, personality, and inner thoughts during battle. Therefore, Bai Shuodong knew very well what kind of person Xia Yanxin was.

The guy didn't say that because she was sad; he just thought his trick was really funny and got carried away.

She's probably secretly laughing to herself right now!

"Cough cough!"

Bai Shuodong coughed twice and casually wiped his hand, covering the crimson wound with a layer of blood. That was the mark of the repair by the [Demonic Blood]. However, since Black Hakimi usually didn't kill him, he was too lazy to waste the [Demonic Blood] to repair his injuries.

After all, the [Blood Demon Unrivaled] form requires a continuous consumption of [Demonic Blood] to maintain!

We can't waste it!

"This little injury is nothing to me, it will heal quickly, that's why it's like this, don't worry about it," Bai Shuodong explained with a smile.

"So... you've gotten used to it all?"

Xia Yanxin took two steps back, and her gaze towards the black cat changed again, filled with sorrow and heartache.

"Meow!!"

Seeing this, the black cat became even more anxious. He felt as if his world had turned dark, with heavy snow falling from the sky and the north wind howling.

The light in its eyes has faded.

Let's not talk about that now.

Bai Shuodong took the initiative to change the subject, gesturing for the student to enter. He then handed his meal card to a passing student and said with a smile, "Excuse me, could you order the best meal and bring it over? I'll treat you to a meal. Oh, and by the way, could you also contact the cleaning staff later?"

"Okay, thank you!"

The student smiled, took the card, and turned to leave, clearly in a good mood.

Xia Yanxin sat down as well, leaning back slightly and crossing her legs, and said with a smile, "Oh my, when did you learn this trick? Looks like you've made quite a bit of progress."

"It's nothing, I just learned it on my own after my balance increased," Bai Shuodong replied.

People used to say that money supports people.

At the time, he didn't believe it. After all, money is just a number. Only when money is transformed into something can it truly support people. Money itself cannot support people.

Now, he has become a psionicist, and a legendary one at that, with psionic points.

That's when I experienced what it feels like to be rich.

Even if this is only wealth compared to ordinary people, it still gives him an intangible sense of confidence.

It was a special feeling, one that couldn't be described in words. He felt confident in everything he did, and there was an indescribable sense of peace in his heart, as if his entire mindset had undergone a complete transformation.

If Bai Shuodong were to convert his psionic points and the resources in his storage space into money, he would be a multi-millionaire, a dragon among ordinary people, but in the realm of psionicists... he would be nothing more than an ordinary person on the street.

He used to not understand why people would spend so much money to cultivate, since they were all going to become psionicists. Wouldn't it be difficult to even break even in the future?

Now he understands.

It was because my vision was too limited in the past.

Psionicists and ordinary people live in completely different worlds, separated by a chasm that is difficult for ordinary people to cross.

"Your balance has increased?"

Xia Yanxin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, bursting into laughter until tears streamed down her face. Finally, she slapped the table, laughing so hard she almost choked.

She looked up again, meeting Bai Shuodong's blank expression, and asked, "Then let me ask you, do you have a family? Do you have money now? Do you know how much it will cost after you officially become a psychic?"

"More...how much."

Bai Shuodong suddenly felt a pang of unease, sensing a bad premonition.

"Well..."

Xia Yanxin counted on her fingers and said very seriously, "First of all, when we go out to fight, we need to have equipment, right? And the equipment level can't be too low, right? At least it has to be silver level, right? What good stuff can that low-level trial you went to give you? Will you be able to use it in the future?"

"You'll need a headgear, and three kinds of accessories: ring, necklace, and bracelet, right? You'll also need a five-piece set of armor, arm guards, leg guards, shoes, and a cloak, right? Weapons are the most important thing, and you can't be careless about them. These basic items add up to ten pieces of equipment. How can it not cost you more than 100,000 spirit points?"

"That equipment is just the basics. After you have the equipment, do you have the skills? Do you know how expensive top-tier skill books are? They're all incredibly expensive. And you actually think you're rich?"

"..."

Bai Shuodong's smile vanished. Looking at his remaining psionic points, he instantly felt like he had returned to his original miserable state.

"Oh, right, I've told you so much, but I haven't told you about the most basic attributes yet. Based on years of practical experience, maxing out your attribute points before exploring the spirit world yields the greatest benefits, so using drugs to improve your basic attributes is also quite important."

"However, for normal people, drug resistance and drug toxicity are problems. Normally, one can only take the drug once every two days with normal spiritual energy points, and it is enough to increase the basic attribute by 1 point each time. And one attribute point costs about 500 spiritual energy points. So, at least 7500 spiritual energy points will be consumed every month until the attribute is fully stacked."

Xia Yanxin's smile grew even wider, her voice like a devil's whisper. She moved a little closer to Bai Shuodong and continued, "I see that your basic physical potential is not low, and your attribute ceiling should also be high. The total cost must be tens of thousands, right? Moreover, your basic physical potential will increase after you level up, and you will have to spend more money then."

"Stop chanting! Master, stop chanting! My head hurts so much! Ahh!" Bai Shuodong covered his head, his eyes were red, and he felt extremely painful.

"Ah~"

Xia Yanxin sighed and said, "Don't be too sad. After all, I'm not some kind of devil. You just need to remember that you need to spend spiritual energy points to upgrade each skill level. It costs 1,000 for level 1, 2,000 for level 2, and so on. It won't cost you much money."

"For a typical psionicist, five skills would only cost you around 200,000, plus weapon enhancement. You can't upgrade your main weapon to a higher level, right? If your weapon can't compete, then in actual combat, I can only say you know what will happen, hehehe."

"Ahhhhh!!"

Bai Shuodong lowered his head and groaned, his expression contorting. He felt weak, pitiful, and helpless, good for nothing except fighting.

How sad! How sad!

Xia Yanxin walked over and sat down next to Bai Shuodong, putting her arm around his shoulder and gently patting his back. She continued, "Don't be sad. You need money to cultivate normally, right?"

"Eating costs money, right? Maintaining your equipment costs money, right? You'll need to upgrade your equipment after your spirit realm level increases, right? You'll need to buy information when looking for opportunities, right? You don't think you can be like the protagonist in a novel, finding opportunities wherever you go, do you?"

"Well!"
