Chapter 54: Mind Reading Technique!

[System Prompt: You can exchange for the SSS Level skill "Mind Reading Technique". After acquiring this skill, you will be able to read the thoughts of other individuals. However, please note that the more targets you read and the stronger their mental strength, the more mental energy you will consume when using the Mind Reading Technique.

When using this skill, your mental energy will continuously be depleted.

The exchange price for the SSS Level skill "Mind Reading Technique" is an SSS Level gift package plus a chance to draw a special reward.

The system has detected that the host's skill slots have reached the limit. Please purchase additional skill slots before exchanging for a new skill, otherwise, you will need to replace an existing skill.]

"I can actually exchange for the Mind Reading Technique. Then, I'll exchange for it."

Looking at his current survival points, which exceeded 100,000, Chen Mo directly chose to consume 100,000 survival points to exchange for a skill slot.

[System Prompt: Deduction of points successful. Your skill slots have changed to "5/6".]

"I want to exchange for the Mind Reading Technique."

[System Prompt: Exchange successful. You have lost an SSS Level gift package and a chance to draw a special reward!

You have acquired the SSS Level skill "Mind Reading Technique". Please check it out!]

[Mind Reading Technique]: After activating this skill, it will remain continuously active. You can freely choose the range and number of targets to read. Depending on the range, number of targets, and the mental strength of the targets, the rate at which your mental energy is depleted will vary.

If you only read the thoughts of one individual and their mental strength does not exceed yours, you will be able to continuously read their thoughts without depleting your mental energy.

"Oh? I can continuously read the thoughts of one person without any depletion? This is really useful. It seems that reaching the SSS Level has its benefits."

Satisfied, Chen Mo closed the skill interface in front of him and waited for Yu Siyu to come back in the next class to see what she usually thinks about.

Soon, it was time for class.

Yu Siyu returned to the classroom and started the class.

However, Yu Siyu was completely focused and not distracted at all during the class.

She was quite attentive in teaching and also paid attention to which students were not listening seriously.

Although they were all university students, she still took her responsibility as a teacher seriously.

Most of the thoughts Chen Mo read were comments on certain individuals not paying attention during the class.

There was nothing else.

Bored, Chen Mo started eavesdropping on the thoughts of other classmates around him, while also testing the extent to which he could expand his mind reading range and the mental energy consumption when reading a large number of targets.

As Chen Mo expanded from reading Yu Siyu's thoughts to two people, his mental energy began to decrease at a rate of 1 point every 10 seconds.

As the number of people increased, the mental energy consumption also increased, but it was consistently 1 point every 10 seconds.

Chen Mo also tested what would happen if he closed the skill before 10 seconds. In that instant, his mental energy would still be deducted.

After conducting the experiment, Chen Mo basically understood the situation of mental energy consumption when using the Mind Reading Technique.

Unfortunately, there were no units with higher mental energy than him, otherwise, he could test how much mental energy would be consumed when reading units with higher mental energy.

Chen Mo was daydreaming and eavesdropping on the bored thoughts of others while perfectly memorizing all the knowledge points taught by the teacher.

All four classes in the morning were taught by Yu Siyu. After listening to all four classes, Chen Mo had memorized quite a few knowledge points.

There were no classes in the afternoon, so Chen Mo didn't need to stay at school.

After spending so much time in the morning, he had successfully completed Daily Task 1.

After all, the school was considered an area where Chen Mo had lived before, and staying here for thirty minutes was enough to complete the task. Chen Mo had stayed for the entire morning and had already completed it multiple times over.

Not only that, during the break, Chen Mo wandered around the neighboring classrooms and successfully completed Daily Task 2, which required searching for monster nests.

Each classroom was like a monster nest, and they were easy to find just by casually looking around.

With both daily tasks completed, Chen Mo naturally received the double daily reward.

He received 4000 survival points and four daily gift packs.

After opening all four daily gift packs, they turned out to be daily necessities that were of no use to Chen Mo, so he just threw them into the system warehouse without bothering.

There were no classes in the afternoon, and there was only one daily task left: 30 minutes of strength training and finding one kilogram of fruit or vegetables to take home. When he went home, he would buy two kilograms of fruit and then do an hour of strength training.

There was no rush to do it.

Leaving the campus, Chen Mo remembered Du Renyuan's matter and took out the business card Du Zihang had given him from his pocket. He dialed the phone number on it.

At the Du family, Du Zihang and his younger sister Du Zixi were taking care of their father. Currently, the three siblings were developing in different places: one in the imperial capital, one abroad, and one in the magic city.

But the affairs of the Qing Gang were complicated, and someone had to watch over them at all times when Du Renyuan was down. Although the three children were capable, they were still far from being able to operate as smoothly as their father did when he was around.

After all, the uncles and elders below also had their own thoughts.

The Yellow Robe Society could be united because Zhao Yue held some deadly handles on them, and with Zhao Yue's own means, she could achieve such a result by using both kindness and severity.

Only then could she execute such a plan.

But the Qing Gang was different. They were not like that.

When Du Renyuan was in power, he had adopted some centralized measures, which had long caused dissatisfaction among some people. However, they were restrained by Du Renyuan's power and couldn't act out.

But now, Du Renyuan had inexplicably retreated behind the scenes for quite some time, and many people had heard rumors that he was sick. Even so, he had never come out to clarify, so the possibility of him being sick was quite high.

But in the past, Du Renyuan had played this sudden "I can't do it anymore" trick once before, and at that time, he had deceived several impatient high-level members. When they came out to cause trouble, Du Renyuan suddenly appeared strong and easily suppressed them.

As a result, even though Du Renyuan was really sick now, people were no longer daring to believe it easily.

With a mix of truth and falsehood, before it was completely confirmed, no one dared to act rashly. But their secret actions were obviously not few.

After all, in case Du Renyuan really couldn't do it anymore, they also needed to plan ahead.

Because of these reasons, when Du Zihang, Du Zixi, and Du Ziteng took over their father's responsibilities, they encountered considerable resistance. These people constantly created obstacles for the three of them, all in order to force Du Renyuan, who was behind them, to reveal himself and find out the truth.
