"This is Telepathy? It really is incredible..."
The moment Shen Yi finished reading the skill description, he immediately tested it himself.
With Telepathy active, even with his eyes closed, he could clearly see everything within twenty meters around him, including buildings, all kinds of plants, and more...
And he saw it from a 360-degree overhead perspective. Even Black Fog could not block it!
This was practically a wallhack!
Moreover, in this state, Shen Yi could see white auras flowing around the three women beside him.
Though there was no written explanation, the instant Shen Yi saw those white auras, he understood what they meant.
White represented trust and loyalty toward him.
The whiter it was, the more loyal they were.
Su Yun's aura was as white as flawless jade.
Zhou Wan'er and the long-haired girl, meanwhile, had faint white auras mixed with nearly half gray.
Gray represented neutrality. It meant they did not trust him much.
There were quite a few things within twenty meters of Shen Yi that were entirely gray.
For example, the Mutant Giant Trees lining the road and the grass and plants on the ground all gave off gray auras.
In other words, as long as Shen Yi did not provoke those plants, they would never attack him, because they held no hostility toward him.
As for black, there was none for now.
Black represented absolute hostility. If someone had a black aura around them, it meant they were preparing to attack Shen Yi.
As long as someone hostile came within twenty meters of Shen Yi, no matter how well they hid, Shen Yi would sense them immediately!
This was fucking cheating!!
What was more, Shen Yi realized that Telepathy paired with Instant Movement was practically a cheat on top of a cheat!!!
Telepathy provided a 360-degree overhead view, X-ray vision, and precise enemy location tracking, while Instant Movement allowed him to directly approach his enemies!
Together, these two abilities produced an effect far greater than one plus one. It was simply perfect!!
"With this ability, even if I run into enemies like that color-changing lizard that love sneak attacks, I'll notice them immediately!" Shen Yi was thrilled.
This ability had come at exactly the right time!
From now on, he no longer had to worry about someone or some monster ambushing him from the shadows!
Besides that, if one of the women around him developed hostility toward him, Shen Yi would notice it immediately and would not end up getting stabbed in bed...
Though his sensing range was only twenty meters for now, it was enough.
Besides, there was still a whole pile of Perception Fruit in the System Space!
If eating fruit could raise an ability's level, then he would soon be able to max out Telepathy!
"The overhead view is an active skill that requires me to activate it, while sensing goodwill and hostility is a passive skill that activates automatically. Nice! That's convenient!"
Shen Yi was very satisfied.
That way, as long as an enemy approached him and revealed hostile intent, he would notice instantly. He did not need to keep the god's-eye view active at all times.
Otherwise, it would drain his stamina too.
Yes, activating active skills consumed stamina. If Shen Yi's physical constitution had not been strong enough, he really would not have been able to withstand the simultaneous drain from these two abilities.
"Body Evolution is important. It seems that activating most abilities consumes stamina, just like a mana bar?"
Shen Yi fell into thought.
Only then did he understand how versatile the ability Body Evolution truly was!
Body Evolution could improve his physique and increase his stamina limit, while other abilities consumed stamina. If he lacked stamina, then even the strongest abilities would likely be restricted.
Take Instant Movement, that bug-level ability. If Shen Yi's body had not been strengthened, using it ten times in one go would already have been impressive!
Not to mention using Instant Movement in tandem with Telepathy. That would consume even more stamina, and he probably would not last more than seven or eight uses.
This showed just how important the ability Body Evolution was.
"So that's why Zhao Tao's lightning ability isn't strong enough. Aside from its relatively low level, it's probably because he doesn't have enough stamina to support repeated use."
Once Shen Yi thought about it that way, he understood the reason.
Other people might not figure out that reason even after years of trial and error.
"My combat power rose from 10 to 30. It tripled—nice! Looks like Instant Movement paired with Telepathy really can greatly increase combat strength!"
Shen Yi looked at the panel and noticed that this combat power did not account for any external equipment.
In other words, if he used a gun, his combat power could rise quite a bit higher. It simply was not included in the calculation.
Next,
was testing whether Ability Fruit could level up abilities!
Shen Yi closed his eyes, activated Telepathy to guide himself, and pulled out a large handful of Ability Fruit from the System Space. He stuffed them into his mouth one after another like candy.
Whether they could level up his abilities aside, once the fruit entered his stomach, his internal organs and limbs all felt cool and tingly, like he had been electrocuted. It was unbelievably satisfying!
Even if Ability Fruit could not level up abilities, Shen Yi would not mind taking them like medicine.
After all, the medicine had no side effects. It simply felt good.
Especially when several Ability Fruit entered his stomach one after another, it felt even better than the instant he came. His whole body went numb with pleasure!
Ding! Your Telepathy has leveled up to lv2!
Shen Yi did not know how many Ability Fruit he had swallowed in one go—more than a dozen, probably—but he had suddenly leveled up.
Telepathy's range had directly doubled to forty meters!
At that moment, the environment he could see became richer, and his field of vision widened.
Sure enough, consuming enough fruit could level up an ability!
Having gotten his answer, Shen Yi became even less stingy with the Ability Fruit. He kept feeding them into his mouth, enjoying the double pleasure of his body and leveling up...
After all, one Ability Fruit appeared every second. He could not possibly finish eating them all!
Ding! Your Telepathy has leveled up to lv3! Ding! Your Telepathy has leveled up to lv4! Ding! Your Telepathy has leveled up to lv5!
By the time Shen Yi returned to the residential complex with the three women, he had already taken enough to reach level five.
But perhaps because he had consumed too many in one go, his internal organs felt cool and tingly...
His limbs were even icy cold!
"Fuck, looks like I need to take a break before eating more. Eating fruit feels great, but I can't eat too much at once."
With his hands and feet cold, Shen Yi thought this and temporarily put the fruit in his hand back into the System Space.
Telepathy (lv5): Through your mind, you can sense all hostility and goodwill within 250 meters around you. You can also see every scene within 250 meters around you without using your eyes, unaffected by any obstacles.
A super-long X-ray vision range of two hundred and fifty meters!
It was practically fucking cheating!
Moreover, because it had reached level five, Shen Yi discovered that when he actively activated the skill, the stamina it consumed had actually decreased slightly!
Logically, the higher the skill level, the greater the consumption should be, right? Yet its consumption had decreased instead.
That was fantastic. It meant Shen Yi could use it even more freely without worrying about excessive stamina consumption.
Thinking that,
Shen Yi stopped and swept Building Six ahead with Telepathy.
Very quickly, he found that dangerous Mutant Black Spider...
