"I really can't strengthen it after all. I knew from the start that I might not have enough upgrade points to strengthen Kaioken, but I didn't think it would actually be impossible. Still, I'm surprised that I can strengthen this Psychokinesis."
After thinking it over for a while, He Lingxuan decided to strengthen the so-called Lesser Psychokinesis and see what happened.
What surprised him was that Lesser Psychokinesis really was lesser. Even with his current combat power and mental strength—at least greater than Chiaotzu's—he could only move the big bed in the room a little.
That was completely different from the effect he'd imagined, where he could casually crush opponents with thousands or even tens of thousands of battle power. It also took quite a bit of energy. He could only say that it truly lived up to its name as Lesser Psychokinesis.
He could only hope the upgrade would bring a pleasant surprise.
"System, put points into Lesser Psychokinesis!"
"Ding! Adding points... Complete. 100 upgrade points consumed. Lesser Psychokinesis upgraded to Intermediate Psychokinesis."
Feeling the immediate change in his Psychokinesis, He Lingxuan looked delighted. He hadn't expected that strengthening it with just 100 upgrade points could bring about such a huge difference.
He Lingxuan tried it out just then, using Psychokinesis to lift himself into the air. He found it incredibly easy, and it barely took any energy at all.
Before the upgrade, even lifting himself had been difficult and energy-intensive. The difference was enormous. The system really was something else.
Just then, another voice rang out in his mind, catching He Lingxuan off guard for a moment. He quickly realized it was a notification from the Chat Group.
Come to think of it, ever since binding to the Chat Group, he'd only opened it to exchange some points for a few things. He hadn't checked in since, so he really had no idea what had been happening.
Ever since the new members had joined, the Chat Group had become much more active. Except for Thanos, who spent most of his time traveling the universe and waging wars of conquest, the others all had plenty of free time.
[Ninja World Asura]: "I've decided. I'll carry out the unification plan after some time has passed. I'll also make it look as though I've been gravely wounded, to lure out the Otsutsuki hiding in the shadows. Only then might the Ninja World finally be able to develop in peace."
[Lord of Time and Space Awakening]: "As expected of Madara! You really know how to throw your weight around. But there's no need to lure the Otsutsuki out by pretending to be injured.
"Once you're ready to put your plan into action, just let me know. I'll come help right away. As long as there's even the slightest disturbance in space, my innate ability will let me catch any Otsutsuki hiding in the shadows."
[Ninja World Asura]: "Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you're after. You're not going to help for free, are you?
"Instead of spending points to hire you, I might as well deal with this myself. After all, apart from the Otsutsuki who is the God of Otsutsuki, none of them could pose the slightest threat to me."
[Lord of Time and Space Awakening]: "Come on, Madara! You won't lose out by asking me for help, and you won't get ripped off either. Forget 1,888 or 1,998—I'm on call for just 1,000 points. This kid's ready whenever you are!"
[Ninja World Asura]: "Get lost!"
[Lord of Time and Space Awakening]: "Sure thing! Anyone in the group who needs help, just let me know. I'm on call for only 1,000 points!"
Then his profile picture dimmed.
[Arataki Gang Boss]: "Hahaha! You're a funny kid, little brother. I don't have many points, but you're always welcome to visit me. The Arataki Gang will give you a proper welcome."
[Future Sky-Faring Commission Helmsman]: "By the way, when can we change our names? I really can't live up to this title. I'm just a little pilot—though I am the top pilot."
[Opera Performer Who Likes Rock]: "Don't worry about it, Sister Yukong. These names all have a certain meaning and significance. So this just means that you'll become the Helmsman of the Sky-Faring Commission in the future."
[Death God Elementary Student]: "What about mine? Isn't it a bit much? I'm a high school student and a famous detective! I'm not a death god, and I'm definitely not an elementary school student!"
[Opera Performer Who Likes Rock]: "..."
[World's Greatest Swordsman]: "I haven't said anything about my name, even though I'm not directionally challenged. But becoming the world's greatest swordsman really is my dream and goal. They can just take off those two words about getting lost."
[Death God Elementary Student]: "So when is this Chat Group going to let us change our names?!"
[Ninja World Asura]: "It doesn't matter if we have a useless feature like that. They'd be better off adding more features that help people grow stronger."
Just then, the familiar yet unfamiliar alarm for a rescue mission sounded. The members who had logged off and those still chatting all turned their attention to it.
"Warning! Warning! Group member Godslayer in the Mental Hospital has been detected in danger. A rescue mission has been issued. This world has been identified as a special mythological world. Group members are advised to proceed with caution. This is a first-tier, low-level mission. Since the group member Godslayer in the Mental Hospital is carrying an item with an extremely high danger rating, it is recommended that five group members with strength ranging from mid-level zero-tier to level 10 of the first tier accept the mission, in case anything unexpected happens." "Upon completing the mission, you will receive 500 group points, as well as a talent ability package from group member Godslayer in the Mental Hospital's world."
[Saiyan from Earth]: "A rescue mission? Doesn't look too dangerous. I can give it a try. Also... I want to ask, too: when is the Chat Group going to let us change our names?"
He Lingxuan looked at his name in the Chat Group and nearly lost it. He did have delicate features, but ever since his Saiyan Bloodline had awakened, he'd become much more masculine.
Especially when the Humanoid Great Ape Power had awakened inside him, his delicate appearance had turned downright handsome.
He was pretty satisfied with that.
But this wasn't the time to get hung up on little things. The important thing was that a second group member besides himself now needed to be rescued.
If he remembered correctly, Godslayer in the Mental Hospital was one of the most popular novels on the biggest free online fiction platform in the city. The only character known by that title was the protagonist of the novel, Lin Qiye.
It was just a shame that he hadn't read the whole story in his previous life. Still, he'd learned through other sources that things didn't go well for Lin Qiye in the future. But so what?
Wasn't it just a measly Cthulhu?
Give me a few years—or even a few months—to level up, and I'll crush them all!
