"Is this Telepathy? It really is amazing..."

The moment Shen Yi finished reading the skill description, he immediately decided to test it out himself.

While under the effect of Telepathy, even with his eyes closed, he could clearly see everything within a twenty-meter radius, including buildings, various plants, and so on...

And it was from a 360° overhead perspective, unaffected by the black fog!

This was practically a cheat code for x-ray vision!

Moreover, in this state, Shen Yi could see white energy flowing around the three women beside him.

Although there were no text explanations, Shen Yi understood what the white energy meant the instant he saw it.

White represented trust and loyalty towards him.

The whiter it was, the more loyal the person was.

Su Yun's energy was like flawless white jade.

As for Zhou Wan'er and the long-haired girl, their energy was a faint white, mixed with nearly half gray.

Gray represented neutrality, meaning not much trust.

Within Shen Yi's twenty-meter radius, there were many purely gray objects.

For example, the mutated trees lining the road and the plants on the ground all had a gray aura.

This meant that as long as Shen Yi didn't provoke these plants, they absolutely wouldn't attack him because they held no hostility towards him.

As for black, there was none for now.

Black represented absolute hostility. If someone had black energy around them, it meant they were preparing to attack Shen Yi.

As long as someone with hostile intent appeared within twenty meters of Shen Yi and harbored hostility towards him, Shen Yi would be able to sense it immediately, no matter how well they hid!

This was a cheat!

Furthermore, Shen Yi discovered that Telepathy combined with Instant Movement was the ultimate cheat!

Telepathy provided a 360° overhead view, x-ray vision, and precise enemy location, while Instant Movement allowed him to close in on the enemy directly!

These two abilities working together produced an effect greater than the sum of their parts, it was simply incredible!!

"With this ability, even if I encounter enemies like the color-changing gecko that like to ambush, I'll be able to detect them immediately!" Shen Yi was very excited.

This ability came at the perfect time!

He wouldn't have to worry about anyone or any monster ambushing him from the shadows anymore!

In addition, if any woman beside him developed hostile intentions towards him, Shen Yi would also be able to detect it immediately, preventing him from being stabbed in the back...

Although his current sensing range was only 20 meters, it was more than enough.

Besides, he still had a pile of perception fruits in his system space!

If eating fruits could upgrade his abilities, he would be able to max out Telepathy's level very soon!

"The overhead view is an active skill that I need to activate, while sensing goodwill and hostility are passive skills that activate automatically. That's good! So convenient!"

Shen Yi was very satisfied.

This way, as long as an enemy approached him and showed hostility, he would be able to detect it instantly without needing to constantly keep his God's Eye view active.

Otherwise, it would consume stamina.

Yes, activating active skills consumed stamina. If Shen Yi's physical body wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't be able to handle the simultaneous consumption of these two skills.

"Body Evolution is very important. It seems that most abilities consume stamina when released, like a mana bar?"

Shen Yi pondered.

He finally understood the all-encompassing usefulness of the Body Evolution ability!

Body Evolution could improve physical fitness and increase maximum stamina. Other abilities consumed stamina, and if stamina was insufficient, even the strongest abilities would be limited.

Take Instant Movement, for example, a bug-level ability. If Shen Yi's physical body hadn't been strengthened, being able to use Instant Movement ten times in a row would be considered amazing!

Not to mention using Instant Movement in conjunction with Telepathy, the stamina consumption would be even greater, perhaps only seven or eight uses would be possible.

From this, the importance of the Body Evolution ability could be seen.

"So, the reason Zhao Tao's lightning ability isn't strong enough, besides its relatively low ability level, is likely because his stamina is insufficient to support continuous activation."

Thinking this way, Shen Yi understood the reason.

And this was a reason that others might not figure out even after years of exploration.

"My Combat Power has increased from 10 to 30, a threefold increase! That's great! It seems that combining Instant Movement with Telepathy truly does significantly boost combat power!"

Shen Yi looked at the panel. He also noticed that this Combat Power did not account for any external factors.

In other words, if he used a gun, his Combat Power could increase significantly, it just wouldn't be calculated.

Next, it was time to test if the ability fruits could upgrade his abilities!

Shen Yi closed his eyes, activated Telepathy to guide him, took out a large handful of ability fruits from his space, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one, like eating beans.

Whether my ability could level up or not was beside the point. After the fruit entered my stomach, my entire internal organs and limbs felt a cool sensation, like an electric shock—it was incredibly exhilarating!

Even if eating ability fruits didn't upgrade my abilities, Shen Yi wouldn't mind taking them like medicine.

After all, this medicine had no side effects, just pure pleasure.

Especially when several ability fruits were consumed at once, it was even more satisfying than the moment of release, leaving me feeling numb with pleasure!

[Ding!]

[Your Telepathy has been upgraded to Lv2!]

[Telepathy (Lv2): You can perceive all hostility and goodwill within forty meters of yourself through your mind, and you can see all scenes within forty meters of yourself without using your eyes, unimpeded by any obstacles.]

Shen Yi didn't know how many ability fruits he had consumed in one go, but he suddenly leveled up.

The range of Telepathy had doubled to forty meters!

Currently, the environment he could see was richer, and his vision was broader.

So, quantity really could upgrade abilities!

With this answer, Shen Yi became even more generous with the ability fruits, continuously feeding them into his mouth, experiencing the dual pleasure of his body and the upgrade…

Anyway, with one ability fruit appearing every second, there was no way he could eat them all!

[Ding!]

[Your Telepathy has been upgraded to Lv3!]

[Ding!]

[Your Telepathy has been upgraded to Lv4!]

[Ding!]

[Your Telepathy has been upgraded to Lv5!]

By the time Shen Yi returned to the residential complex with the three women, he had reached level five.

But it seemed that consuming so many at once had left his internal organs feeling cool…

And his limbs were ice-cold!

"Damn, looks like I need to take a break before consuming more. While eating fruits is great, I can't overdo it."

Shen Yi, with his cold hands and feet, thought this and temporarily stored the fruits in his system space.

[Telepathy (Lv5): You can perceive all hostility and goodwill within two hundred and fifty meters of yourself through your mind, and you can see all scenes within two hundred and fifty meters of yourself without using your eyes, unimpeded by any obstacles.]

A super long-range X-ray vision of two hundred and fifty meters!

It was practically like cheating!

Moreover, because he had reached level 5, Shen Yi discovered that when he actively activated the skill, the stamina consumed had actually decreased slightly!

Logically, higher skill levels should consume more, right? But its consumption had decreased.

This was great, proving that Shen Yi could use it more recklessly without worrying about excessive stamina depletion.

Thinking this, Shen Yi stopped in his tracks and scanned Building 6 ahead with his Telepathy.

Soon, he found the dangerous mutated black spid
