Psychics don't die from gunfire

"ha--"

In the dim room with no lights on, there was first the sound of metal equipment dragging pipes, and then a long gasp.

Even though Thousand Stars City has its own firewall protection, every time you enter the [Abyss] through the "deep diving equipment", it is a big burden for you.

But it’s a lot of fun.

In Qianxing City, you can freely observe others and speculate on their personalities. Under "anonymous service", this is much more difficult than reality, but this challenge brings much more satisfaction. Exercise is also beneficial.

Besides, you can still make some extra money from time to time.

In reality, he is just a down-and-out online game power leveler. He sits in front of a tablet all day long, turning on the automatic software to browse various materials. No one cares about his real name. They only know his screen name "Tucker" Studio (poke me for liver replacement training)” instead of Tom. Bah.

"Bah, no, my name is not Tom."

Nicole got up from the bed, threw the deep diving equipment aside, groped for a while on the table full of miscellaneous items, and finally found what she wanted.

He walked unsteadily out of bed, opened the metal shutters rusted by acid rain, tilted his head and leaned against the window, holding a crumpled cigarette in his right hand, and the left finger that had been replaced with a prosthetic limb spurted out a wisp of flame and ignited it. cigarette.

Thick smoke rings slowly floated up, reflecting the dim night scene outside the window.

The neon lights of Baimen District cannot illuminate this remote alley in Deep Moss District.

"cough"

Taking a big breath, Nicole couldn't recover for a while and coughed repeatedly.

Although nicotine atomizers have now replaced most traditional cigarettes, and theoretically the taste and feel will not be any different, he still prefers smoking traditional cigarettes.

Even if it would make his already poor financial situation worse.

Nicole never trusted corporations, not as a child and still today.

Maybe it's more than distrust.

Maybe I am more afraid.

Nicole exhaled a white breath and thought slowly.

Therefore, after accidentally awakening his psychic powers two years ago, he did not choose to report it to the coalition government, and of course he could not get the special talent allowance - it was both a talent allowance and one of the measures taken by the coalition government to search for psychics.

After all, it's only 10,000 credit points per month. The economic situation has not been very good in the past few years, and everyone's life is tight, so this money is not small.

"Hey, the people coming from outside are not really those wasteland bandits, are they?"

Nicole took another sharp breath.

Although due to the abuse of nuclear and chemical weapons during the Seven-Earth War, 40% of the land was reduced to "wasteland" that was no longer suitable for human survival, but it was just unsuitable.

Various wandering tribes and wasteland supply towns far away from the city. Moreover, a city cannot be completely self-sufficient. Goods have to be sold, raw materials have to be bought, and various transportation teams have to travel through the wasteland.

Wasteland bandits are a group of desperate lunatics who live in the wasteland all year round and make a living by extortion and robbery. From time to time, they also enter the city to sell stolen goods, consume and provide supplies.

But after thinking about it, Nicole felt that it didn't look like it.

[Consensus] The road has made his senses sharper than ordinary people. In the conversation not long ago, the other party was more like a mercenary than a gangster wandering the wasteland.

"Smuggled into the city, or something else? One... no, it should be a group of mercenaries, right? Working together as a team is better than working alone, especially for work that requires death."

I bumped into a group of mercenaries with unknown origins out of nowhere. It was a day full of Pallose temperament.

Nicole sighed in her heart.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment and put out the last cigarette butt on the window sill. He planned to try to control psychic powers later, using that person's method.

As for other things.

So what does it have to do with him being a low-level game booster?

Cheap hotel, room B302.

Song Shi slowly opened his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

The depressing feeling caused by diving into the [Abyss] gradually faded away.

[Abyss] is not only full of various technical problems, but also a huge "redundant psychic aggregate".

Therefore, the deeper you enter the [Abyss], the stronger the oppression you suffer - psykers can improve their resistance in this area, but they cannot stay in the abyss forever.

A first-level psyker can stay in a depth 1 area like Thousand Stars City for about two hours, but relying on the firewall of Thousand Stars City, this can be extended to four hours inside the city.

"——Psionics."

Song Shi exhaled and looked at his palm.

Driven by the thought, a ray of red-gold flame surged out from the five fingers, swaying with the wind, and the next moment, it dissipated as it was tightened.

There are limits to the number of psychic arts a psyker can master.

It's not just about "biting off more than you can bite off", when the psychic skills mastered are too many and too complex, they cannot complement each other, and may even conflict, and the "purity" of psychic skills is not enough, and it is too confusing.

so.

Although there are some exceptions, on the whole, the best number of psychic skills mastered by first-level psychics is about three, but it can also fluctuate by one or two.

"I already have the "Forging Flame", and my starting point is much better than in my previous life."

When I awakened in my previous life, the spiritual skill given to me by the path was [turning fire into a blade].

It sounds quite powerful, but its effect is just to guide the existing flame and reshape it into the outline of a long sword, so that the holder can use this fire sword to fight the enemy——

I can’t say it’s useless at all, but it’s certainly not very useful.

First, this psychic skill cannot create flames out of thin air. You must prepare a lighter or something like that in advance to provide enough flames.

Secondly, the guided flames are also limited. The temperature cannot be too high, the magnitude cannot be too large, and the shape of the shape also has limits - so the "ship-slashing sword" is out of the question.

Moreover, without [Elemental Resistance·Fire], this fire sword will also burn your own people. You must bring asbestos gloves or other heat-insulating equipment in advance, otherwise you will be burned before the enemy is fine.

——And now [Forging Flame], in addition to its own characteristics, will also directly provide the holder with a certain resistance to the element of fire!

If we don't mention psychic power, we can only use "technology" as a substitute.

At least for the first-level psychics.

[Fire Blade] is just a limited flamethrower, while [Forging Flame] is a complex device that integrates body strengthening, weapon blessing, and creating flames out of thin air.

This is the difference between the two.

Although the price of obtaining the Forging Flame is to bear the ritual of [Blood and Fire Oath], you must take the head of an enemy of certain weight within 19 days and offer it to the Tao.

"I am a first-class master. How can I show this without a challenge-"

Song Shi knocked on the table and smiled inexplicably: "Nineteen days?"

"Then, let's go get some quick money tomorrow."
