System Main Quest Rewards: Psionic Warrior, Lin Junyu's Cover Blown

"I never expected so many things to have happened in the past! Does that mean the races of the Far East were once human too?"

Lin Feng felt as though his worldview was about to collapse. Those green-skinned barbarians with horns had actually been humans just like them in ancient times!

"Judging from their genetic structure, their primary genes are still human genes. They merely fused with the genes of certain other organisms, which altered their appearance and abilities!"

"Fundamentally speaking, they are still humans, merely separated from the rest."

Zuo Chuan Mingwang analyzed the matter. In his eyes, there was no real difference between the two.

These words deeply shocked Lin Feng. He felt that the beliefs he had held for so long had all been shaken.

He could not help but wonder whether the demon race had also been human in ancient times.

No, impossible. Since ancient times, they had always been two races as incompatible as fire and water. Those who are not of our kind must harbor different intentions.

And now he was being told that the two races the continent had always despised were actually both human?

Who on the continent would believe that if he said it aloud?

"Enough of that for now. Zuo Chuan Mingwang, how much of your energy has been restored?"

"Only 80%. This base no longer has enough energy to fully recharge me, so I need to find a new base or a new energy source from this era that can replenish me!"

"Lin, I need your help!"

Zuo Chuan Mingwang understood that his most urgent task was to find a way and a place to replenish his energy before it ran out.

And the human beside him could help him accomplish all of that.

He did not know how this human had found this place, but since he had managed to find it, he would surely be able to find other bases and help restore his energy supply.

Besides, there was another being at his side who needed charging just like him. As long as he followed him, he would definitely find somewhere to replenish his energy.

"Sure. Follow me from now on. Leave your energy problem to me!"

"Thank you, Lin!"

Imitating the human gesture of gratitude, Zuo Chuan Mingwang placed his right fist over his chest and bowed to Lin Junyu.

"Is there anything else left behind in this base?"

"I remember there being some weapons and equipment stored in the base's armory. There also seems to be a humanoid powered armor suit!"

"There's something that good? Hurry up and unlock the armory door. We'll go in, loot the place, and leave!"

Lin Junyu had not expected there to be anything usable left in this abandoned base of an ancient civilization.

After the armory door's lockdown authorization was lifted in the command room, everyone arrived at the already-open armory entrance in the plaza and walked inside.

The walls of the armory were completely bare, but the innermost wall was covered with sleek white rifles that brimmed with sci-fi aesthetics and flawless streamlined designs.

"These must be laser guns, right?"

Lin Junyu curiously picked one up and aimed it around. Even in his previous life, he had never seen such a fine thing.

"Unfortunately, they have no energy!"

"They still need to be charged. The energy sources of this era are too primitive and completely fail to meet the minimum standard for charging!"

Without energy, the several thousand laser guns covering the wall were like toys—something to look at but not use.

However, as long as the energy problem was solved, they would become era-defying weapons of mass destruction.

Right now, Lin Junyu was troubled over how to take all these things away.

At that moment, the long-silent system finally popped up again.

[Ding, it has been detected that the host has completed 80% of the main quest's initial stage. Rewards are now being issued.]

[Rewards: System Space unlocked (can only store inanimate objects), Innate Psionic Talent, Psionic Codex, one Gene Modification Serum, three Gene Upgrade Serums, True Transformation Halberd, Radiant Sword]

[System Space: Your personal inventory!]

[Innate Psionic: You are born able to sense and absorb psionic energy—the highest-grade energy in all things throughout the universe. You are naturally attuned to psionic energy, and your body can perfectly absorb and store it.]

[Note: The host may regard psionic energy as spiritual energy. The internal force currently cultivated and absorbed by the host derives from energy leaked from the universe's psionic energy. Two hundred years of internal force can be converted into a second-tier psionic warrior.]

[Psionic Codex: It records many unfathomable applications of psionic energy while greatly increasing the power of your psionic attacks. With the codex in hand, you will be a god in the use of psionic energy!]

[Gene Modification Serum: Can alter the genetic structure of the human body, allowing it to gain new genetic abilities.]

[Gene Upgrade Serum: Can upgrade all kinds of genes, increasing the owner's genetic potential and abilities.]

The system's reward announcement left Lin Junyu standing there in a daze.

The System Space reward was one thing, but what the hell were all those things after that?

Wait, have I come into contact with something new again? Am I about to become invincible again?

Looking at the explanations listed by the system, Lin Junyu sucked in a cold breath.

Psionic energy—Lin Junyu was certain that this was a high-level form of energy that even ancient civilizations had been completely unable to detect.

Yet now, with the system's help, he could directly sense and absorb it.

It took two hundred years of internal force just to become a second-tier psionic warrior. The energy contained within psionic energy was immense.

This was practically setting him on the path of leading technology into immortality cultivation. Lin Junyu almost felt as though he were dreaming.

The earlier rewards had already left Lin Junyu stunned. As for the latter two, they were probably the two most unimpressive rewards the system could dig up, thrown in just to make up the numbers.

"Brother Lin, this power armor is insanely awesome!"

Lin Feng had already put on the only set of power armor left behind by the ancient civilization, armor meant for elite warriors.

After putting it on, Lin Feng felt that his movements had become much easier and more effortless. It could greatly reduce his physical exertion.

His strength had also increased tremendously. With the power armor's enhancement, he could kill a bull with a single punch.

This terrifying boost in strength could give an ordinary person superhuman power. It was practically a divine artifact!

Lin Junyu came back to his senses. Looking at Lin Feng, who was wearing the power armor and clearly unable to put it down, he smiled.

"If you like it that much, then keep wearing it!"

"Really? Thanks, Brother!"

As Lin Junyu watched Lin Feng grinning foolishly, he was briefly reminded of Zichuan Mingri.

Unfortunately, he really could not bring himself to use the Immortality Gene's method of granting longevity on Mingri.

Besides, Mingri had died a natural death. Under his leadership, the Zichuan Clan had grown stronger day by day, and he had no regrets left behind.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Junyu stored all the weapons before him in his system inventory.

Lin Feng, who had been grinning foolishly, and Zuo Chuan Mingwang, who had been standing nearby watching, were both stunned by Lin Junyu's move.

"I have never seen a method like yours, nor can I deduce how it was accomplished. It involves research into quantum spatial technology. Even at the peak of our civilization, we never touched upon this technology. Impressive. You are more mysterious than I imagined."

Zuo Chuan Mingwang quickly composed himself and began analyzing it rationally.

He tried to explain it through science, but he could not arrive at any conclusion.

After all, it involved things like quantum space and other dimensions. He lacked the necessary knowledge in those fields.

"Brother! Are you some kind of god? I've never even heard of a method like this! You just waved your hand, and the things disappeared. That's amazing!"

Lin Feng's understanding was much simpler. If this move did not prove that his brother was a godlike being, then what did it prove?

Wait. If he was a godlike being, then wasn't it perfectly reasonable for him to live a little longer?

And his name was the same as that of the Third Prince, Lin Feng's idol from more than two hundred years ago.

Moreover, he had always said that he knew Lin Feng's ancestor, Wei Guo. Back then, Wei Guo had been entrusted to the Third Prince.

Later, for some unknown reason, Wei Guo arrived at River Hill and established the new Lin Family.

If the Third Prince had faked his death and then taken his ancestor to live in seclusion at River Hill, wouldn't that make perfect sense?

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more he felt that his crazy idea might actually be true.

This Brother Lin Junyu was the Third Prince who had saved the empire from crisis more than two hundred years ago.

He was also the true founder of their River Hill Lin Family.

"Your Highness the Third Prince?"

Lin Feng tentatively called out to Lin Junyu.

"Hm? What is it? You finally figured it out? You finally believe it?"

Lin Junyu looked at Lin Feng's dumbfounded expression with an ambiguous smile.

He admitted it. He had admitted it.

It was actually true. Someone really could live for more than two hundred years.

Oh, wait. There seemed to be another monster beside him who had lived for who knew how long, but he did not seem to be human.

Lin Feng's face reddened. He felt that he could no longer face Lin Junyu, and he did not know how to interact with him anymore.

Calling him Ancestor was too embarrassing, and he did not even know whether Lin Junyu liked being called that. But calling him something else—wouldn't that be disrespectful?

"Alright, just keep calling me Brother Lin!"

Lin Junyu naturally knew what Lin Feng was struggling with. He was not someone who cared much about such relationships.

"Alright, Brother Lin!"

Ever since learning that Lin Junyu possessed the abilities of a godlike being, Lin Feng had become more restrained, though he was also excited and proud.

Who would not be thrilled to have such a powerful godlike ancestor looking out for them?

The four of them prepared to leave the base. As they passed through the plaza, Lin Junyu casually stored all kinds of things from the plaza into his system inventory.

This move shocked Lin Feng again. A steel giant dozens of meters tall vanished right before his eyes. It was too incredible. What should he do? He really wanted to learn this method too.

This time, Zuo Chuan Mingwang kept his mismatched gold and blue eyes fixed tightly on Lin Junyu's movements, trying to analyze something.

But unfortunately, he discovered nothing. There was not even the slightest fluctuation in the air, so he could only give up.

On the way up the mountain, Lin Feng had paid little attention to Lin Junyu and stuck close to Lin Yun.

On the way down, Lin Feng clung to Lin Junyu instead, carrying bags and handing him water, while Lin Yun had already been cast aside.

After all, Lin Yun belonged to the same kind as Zuo Chuan Mingwang, who was not human. That meant she was not human either. No matter how pretty she was, what was the point?

Meanwhile, Zuo Chuan Mingwang slowly followed behind Lin Yun, his white hair drifting in the wind as light constantly flickered in his pupils.

He stared at Lin Yun, who kept following behind Lin Junyu, as though he had been analyzing something all along.
