Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Multifunctional Psychic_1

Lu Xiang didn’t expect these Horn Bugs to hold grudges.

Because they had been sneaking into the refrigerator every night to steal snacks, she drew her gun and warned them once, a deed that the King Bug has remembered to this day.

What Lu Xiang didn’t know was that in this tribe, which was mostly composed of Horn Bugs, she had been repeatedly conferred the "Most Brutal Deity" award.

The new Horn Bugs, who had just joined the Bug Swarm, recognized their leader as a cruel and majestic person, who would lead the Bug Swarm to sweep away all enemies.

And the status of the King Bug in the hearts of the Horn Bugs became increasingly unshakable.

It was the only bug that had competed over food with the current leader during the tribe’s primitive times and survived, a legend that emerged from a war that seemed to split heaven and earth; it had bravely challenged the queen of the Bug Swarm, and it was this war that made the queen acknowledge their strength.

"Actually, Father Bruno is conducting an experiment that relates to a new way to develop Psychic Abilities,"

The Lunar Eclipse Sect had already given them reference samples.

Under their established belief system, the Believers’ faith worked like a battery, supplying power to the High Priests of the Lunar Eclipse Sect, and in return, the High Priests would occasionally bestow their favor upon the followers.

"If one were to set aside theology and religious color, this also means that Spiritual Energy can be transmitted through consciousness among people."

Among the three paths of advancement through genetics, technology, and Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Energy is the most mystical.

The research by the United Government up to now had not uncovered the secrets of Spiritual Energy, which remained fundamentally reliant on talent; they could only stimulate the potential of Psychic Abilities through external drugs or stimulating methods and were unable to achieve the process from nothing to something.

In response, researchers attributed Spiritual Energy to spiritual power, the strength of which determined the intensity level of Spiritual Energy.

"Based on the information provided by Father Bruno, Medea proposed a theory; she believes that actually, everyone possesses spiritual power, but for most people, it’s very limited and not enough to transform into Spiritual Energy. However, if one could gather their spiritual power together through some method, it could generate a considerable amount of Spiritual Energy."

In fact, Medea’s research had already achieved preliminary results, "after establishing this bond, she created a type of soldier called tunnel bugs."

This was different from digging and shuttling; Medea’s abilities allowed her to traverse any obstacles beneath the surface without hindrance, and these tunnel bugs, evolved from Horn Bugs, inherited this characteristic under the hub of Spiritual Energy.

On the battlefield, they could cross any terrain and infiltrate designated locations.

"However, they are still just Horn Bugs after all, making it quite difficult for them to establish a complex belief system. Therefore, tunnel bugs are far from reaching mass production. You’ve seen them before when they attacked Aleye’s town."

But this undoubtedly opened up new ways of thinking for them.

In the near future, the Devourers might even hatch a super-space-time Bug Swarm that could leap through super-space-time and appear in any corner of the battlefield.

Lu Xiang silently listened to Song Lan’s explanation.

The evolution of the Bug Swarm was one of the few topics that could get Song Lan excited.

Actually, she had once aspired to become a Psychic. For this, she had ardently studied all the courses in school related to stimulating Psychic Abilities, including advanced mathematics. She still remembered the teacher saying that this logical level of study was in preparation for becoming a Psychic.

Establishing rules required strong logical thinking abilities.

It was just a pity that all her potential tests related to Psychic Abilities ended in failure.

Fortunately, the knowledge she acquired was not wasted, as it laid a solid foundation for her future hacking skills.

As for now, Psychic Abilities no longer held any mystery for her.

After all, if she wished, she could observe a powerful Psychic in great detail every day, and conduct various kinds of research on them.

Moreover, the Psychic by her side had extra features.

Expert in every aspect of logistics, she could come home to hot meals every day; Lu Xiang felt that no Psychic Ability User in the world was as functional as Song Lan and refused to accept any argument to the contrary.

"Let’s go, let’s go home."

Once Song Lan’s explanation came to a pause, Lu Xiang stretched and asked, "Ride the bicycle or take my hovercar?"

"Let’s go with the hovercar."

Song Lan glanced at the sky outside, "It’s getting late, and now is peak time for street thugs to be active, riding a bike seems a bit unsafe."

"Okay, ouch—!"

"What’s wrong?"

"I’ve been sitting too long, my back hurts, I can’t stand up."

Having had the experience before, Lu Xiang found playing the pity card increasingly easy to handle, "Come help me up quickly."

It seemed quite reasonable for her to be unable to walk to the parking lot by herself after a whole day of toil in the office, didn’t it?

So, when Song Lan grabbed her hand, she conveniently leaned on her, feeling perfectly justified.

Was she overthinking it?

In a border city like District Seventeen, how could she possibly bump into her former teachers and classmates?

.....................

Meanwhile, somewhere in District Seventeen.

Under the cover of night, an act of unlawful infringement was unfolding.

Surrounded by thugs, was a woman who looked tender and frail, with three thugs armed with guns and two with knives, using a way of approaching her that seemed to have returned to a hundred years ago.

"Hey pretty girl, are you all alone?"

Of course, that was ten minutes ago.

After ten minutes, the thugs, who even walked with an especially arrogant swagger, were neatly lined up against the wall, having discarded their weapons, faces against the wall, hands raised above their heads, those with more experience even hugged their heads with both hands and hunched into the corner.

It turned out that thugs from different eras shared common traits.

Whether it’s their cannon-fodder-like lines or the way they looked when arrested.

It wasn’t long before the lead thug collected everyone’s wallets and approached the woman timidly, even changing his address to her, "Sister, there’s a total of 2000 watts here, it’s our tribute to you."

Yes, at this moment, an act of unlawful infringement was being played out in District Seventeen.

Five armed thugs were robbed of all the cash they had on them.

Seeing this scene, the woman was also baffled by the reaction of the thugs; she hadn’t laid a hand on them. She only asked, "Do you know where I can find Lu Xiang?" and then each of these street thugs started to face the wall for reflection or simply crouched down like they were convicts who had undergone decades of reform.

"I don’t want your money, just tell me where to find Lu Xiang."

"Sister, life isn’t easy for any of us out here, I advise you not to be utterly merciless!"

The wallet-handing thug leader said sternly, they had complied so well in handing over their wallets, but the woman still seemed unwilling to let them go.

"I am her teacher, and this time passing through District Seventeen, I planned to visit her specially."

Hearing this, the pupils of the street thugs contracted, they exchanged glances, anger rising from their hearts, and evil brewing by their courage.

Things had gone too far, this was not going to be easy to resolve.

The thug leader’s eyes sharpened. With the speed of lightning, he pulled out the pistol he had tucked at his waist, loaded it as if racking up points, and then...

Handed the loaded pistol to the woman.

"Enough said, just make it quick!"
