You only have a chance to draw Mission Settlement Card if you randomly get the [item] type.
Old Mei, you're probably not the real protagonist!
It's getting cold here!
Turning to look at Aroshia beside him, he felt that touching her was a more reliable option...
Aroshia looked over, their eyes met for three seconds, her expression unchanged.
Han Xiao shook his head helplessly, rubbed his temples, and comforted himself, thinking, "It's only the first time, encountering a few minor setbacks is normal... very normal..."
Han Xiao knew his chances of getting Mission Settlement Card on his first try were slim. Although his specialty wasn't what he needed most right now, he figured it wasn't bad.
"Sigh, it would be so much easier if the players were here. I could just issue a quest and have them submit their Mission Settlement Card, which would save me from having to rely on luck."
Han Xiao shook his head and looked at the panel.
Please choose one of the following three specialties.
[Fire Affinity: Fire resistance +16%, Fire skill effect +10%]
[Advanced Mental Fortitude: Mental Resistance +35%, reduces the difficulty of willpower assessment for mind control skills such as Charm, Confusion, Sensory Deprivation, Intimidation, and Fear, and reduces the duration of the effect by 30%]
[Cell Engine: Energy recovery rate +21%, Energy +330]
After a quick glance, Han Xiao had already made his choice. [Fire Affinity] was suitable for Mage Class, but its improvement for him was limited. [Cell Engine] had a good effect, but its practicality was not as good as [Advanced Mental Fortitude]. Characters with the "Advanced" prefix were generally not bad. Perfect, Esper Class characters had some advantage against Mechanic Class armor, this feat could greatly enhance mental resistance.
And it can be used immediately.
On second thought, Han Xiao suddenly realized something was wrong.
"How did I get so fat again...?"
Is there really no way to change the tank's attributes?! I want a Void Realm, damn it!!
After counting, all the rewards were in hand. Although I didn't get the Mission Settlement Card, the trip was still quite fruitful. I got two specializations, a Character Summon Card that I felt was pretty useless, more than two million experience points, and two hundred thousand Enas. It was a worthwhile trip.
Morning Star was smiling at him, her polite gesture conveying a sense of wanting him to leave. He suppressed his eagerness, wanting to wait until the mercenary left before doing his own thing.
Han Xiao extended his hand, "Now that the mission is complete, we won't stay any longer."
"Okay, I'll look forward to working with you again if the opportunity arises in the future."
Morning Star Xing smiled and held Han Xiao's hand.
Suddenly, without any warning, his hand locked on like an iron gate, and Han Xiao exerted force, pulling the unsuspecting Morning Star towards him.
In an instant, the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit materialized, first covering the helmet. Han Xiao leaned back slightly, then suddenly headbutted forward, the armored forehead Heavy Strike Morning Star hard in the corner of his eye.
Bang!
Suddenly attacked, Morning Star was hit so hard that he saw stars.
With the mecha fully in place, Han Xiao activated all the enhancement modules of the Void Dragon. The Electromagnetic Pulse Conditioner stimulated his body, putting him into an [excited] state. Combined with the attribute bonuses of combat mode, his strength increased by more than 100 points—not enough, he followed up with another headbutt, the second blow causing Morning Star to fall into a brief state of stun.
Taking advantage of the brief opportunity, Han Xiao grabbed Morning Star's head with both hands and released [Void Jet], a gray shockwave bursting out from his palms!
Boom!
The spreading shockwave instantly turned the luxurious hotel suite into a mess, as if it had been swept away by a gale.
"What are you doing?!"
Melos, Sylvia, and the Volga Three Brothers were all stunned!
Good heavens! The mercenaries attacked their employer!
They were so harmonious just a second ago, why did they suddenly start fighting?!
"You..." Morning Star's resistance was not low. She withstood two Void Jet and finally regained her senses. Her eyes turned pure white, and her surging psychic power pushed everyone away.
He clutched his head, writhing in pain, glaring hatefully at Han Xiao, biting his lip, his expression a mixture of shock and anger.
He didn't understand why Han Xiao suddenly attacked him, but that didn't stop him from feeling threatened.
"Ah--"
Morning Star spoke, channeling her psychic power into her voice. The sharp, high-pitched tone was like a spear, piercing into everyone's brains and causing a burst of intense pain.
Everyone's vision went black, their eyes swirled, their internal organs clenched and throbbed, and they all felt nauseous and vomiting, their minds reeling. Sylvia was the most vulnerable; she clutched her head, her head throbbing with pain, as if her brain was about to explode into blood and gore.
Han Xiao also felt a sharp pain, as if a file was scraping back and forth in his brain. The [Advanced Mental Fortitude] he had just obtained immediately came in handy—he had planned to use it when he chose this feat, as it greatly reduced mental damage and negative effects, which was perfect for dealing with psychic masters.
After all, he knew Morning Star inside and out.
Enduring the pain, he lunged forward, delivering a swift and heavy flying elbow strike that cleaved through Morning Star's hastily assembled psychic shield like Battle Axe, producing a piercing blast of air. His elbow Heavy Strike heavily into Morning Star's delicate face.
Snap!
Blood gushed from her nose and mouth. Morning Star covered her blood-soaked mouth and retreated hastily, her eyes filled with a mixture of shock and anger.
"Melos, go outside and block the guards. The three brothers, protect Sylvia and don't let her get close."
Han Xiao spoke rapidly, his hands never idle. His armored fists, carrying a fierce wind, repeatedly shattered Morning Star's shield, forcing his opponent to retreat step by step, leaving him no time to unleash any more psychic attacks, slowly approaching a blind spot.
"What on earth is going on?!" Melos was still in a daze, but he gritted his teeth and decided to believe Han Xiao; there must be a reason for what he did.
Bang bang bang...
Melos rushed out of the room, swung his ship-slaying sword, and blocked the guards who rushed over after hearing the commotion. The sounds of fighting were chaotic and disorderly.
"Get out of here! Get out of my way!"
Morning Star screamed like a woman, blood streaming from her eyes. She had stimulated her mind with some kind of secret technique, causing her mental power to explode beyond its limit. The windows and walls of the room shattered, with continuous booming, shards flying everywhere, and dust filling the air. Han Xiao was also pushed aside.
Having gained a moment of respite, Morning Star gritted her teeth and channeled her mental power, causing all the clutter in the room to float into the air and converge into a torrent that continuously slammed into Han Xiao, pressing against his chest and preventing him from getting close easily.
At this moment, Morning Star's face was covered in blood, she was in a sorry state, her beautiful clothes were covered in dust and bloodstains, and her condition was extremely poor. She had been hit by Han Xiao and suffered a concussion, making it impossible for her to concentrate, and her mental power was sluggish and slow.
The next second, Morning Star used his telekinesis to grab the four statues that had fallen to the ground. Like a thirsty person, he couldn't wait to stick the statues to his forehead.
A peculiar rhythm of psychic energy floated in the air. In a field of vision invisible to the naked eye, the Psionic Undercurrent contained within the statue was continuously drawn into the mind of Morning Star, revitalizing the dormant psychic energy and rapidly strengthening it.
This is the effect of the statue on Morning Star. The Psionic Undercurrent contained within it is a super tonic for him, which can enhance his psychic power. He can use sacrificial objects like this, which have been prayed to for a long time, to enhance his psychic power. This is a school of psychic practitioners that absorbs Psionic Undercurrent to enhance themselves. It is relatively rare, but the side effects are very strong. They are usually overwhelmed by the various thoughts in the Psionic Undercurrent, which damages their own sanity.
Seeing this, Aroshia was about to step forward to stop him, but she noticed that Han Xiao, who was fending off the flying debris, quietly gestured to her, signaling her not to move. Aroshia then stopped and waited to see what would happen.
Normally, absorbing the Psionic Undercurrent of a statue requires utmost care, as anything involving the mind must be handled with extreme caution, otherwise one's mind will be overwhelmed by countless thoughts within it. But Morning Star can't care about that now. Who knows if this mercenary has gone mad? He only knows that if he doesn't save himself, his life may be in danger.
whoosh whoosh...
It drained the Psionic Undercurrent of the four statues like a whale drinking water, causing them to fall to the ground, losing all their wonder and leaving only hard shells.
Absorbing the massive Psionic Undercurrent, Morning Star's eyes turned red, and terrifying psychic power rippled around her, distorting the air. The psychic power was so thick that it was almost visible to the naked eye. Her headache and backache disappeared, and she returned to her peak condition, even exceeding her limit.
"You actually beat me up like this! I... I'm going to make you my slave!!"
Morning Star wiped the blood from her mouth and nose, her voice shrill and filled with rage, as if she were a woman who loved beauty and had discovered that she was disfigured.
A powerful surge of psychic energy was gathering, ready to unleash a full-force attack.
Just then, Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly activated Hila's Character Summon Card, with the phantom of a red-haired woman appearing behind him.
[Whispers of the Dead]: Deals 3 mental shocks to the target, damage depends on the user's Intelligence or Mystic attribute (can be specified), weakens the target's entire stats by 15% for 3 hours, uses 2/8.
Han Xiao's eyes emitted dark red energy, which pierced through the eyepiece of his armor and shot directly at Morning Star.
Although he lacks skills that boost mental attacks, his intelligence is very high, and three consecutive attacks deal considerable damage.
Buzz--
Morning Star felt a dizzying sensation before her eyes, her mind was Heavy Strike, and she immediately lost control of her mental energy. The ball of mental energy exploded on its own before it could be released, and all the debris it had been manipulating fell down.
Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, Morning Star's eyes turned blood red... This wasn't some extreme skill, but rather the capillaries in his eyeballs bursting.
A telekinetic master should have high mental resistance, but Morning Star's mental defenses seemed completely unprotected, and she was severely injured.
His newly recovered state suddenly plummeted to rock bottom, even worse than before. His mind was extremely sluggish, his knees ached, and Morning Star collapsed to his knees, panting heavily. He grabbed a statue, utterly incredulous.
"You... you tampered with it?!"
