The workshop area is divided into mechanical categories.

“Mr. Participant Number, the program modification and structural optimization of Ironclad 99 will take half an hour.” Louis bowed and answered, then continued, “The value of these glass eyes is about 800 points. If we can find the cultivation method to create these glass eyes, their value will double.”

"The cultivation technique... is gone..." Lin Feng shook his head.

Louis gave a slight, regretful smile, his eyes darting around a few times.

Lin Feng adjusted the black robe he was wearing and asked, "Louis, do you have any items similar to the Isis Knot that can protect the soul for a long time?"

"Sir, may I ask what specific type of soul threat it is?"

Because of the black robe, Louis couldn't see any details, but his eyes involuntarily turned to the two extremely thick, eerie threads on Lin Feng's chest.

After undergoing a forced mission, these two mysterious threads will be fully revealed.

"Corruption...or being bewitched?" Lin Feng thought of a word, and then explained in detail: "It's a power similar to that of a demon, which will constantly devour the user's mind."

Having used the Fallen Soul and Demonic Transformation in this mission world, he understood more clearly that the necromancer's abilities could only hold out for a time, not forever. He needed a clearer method to combat the ever-present threat of spiritual decay.

“Sir, I recommend the Soul-Soothing Talisman, which can instantly calm any fluctuations in the mind and soul.” Louis immediately presented the first option: a Soul-Soothing Talisman worth 100 points and lasting for ten minutes.

Seeing Lin Feng examining the documents carefully, Louis presented new solutions: "Skills of purification, exorcism, and blessing can be used to overcome external temptations by drawing upon the power of different deities."

After briefly reviewing these skills, Lin Feng was somewhat tempted, but shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Louis immediately took out several eye-catching items: "Mind Guardian Crown (300), Guardian Orb (350), Astral Guardian (400), Vitality Vial (550)".

Lin Feng carefully read the descriptions of each item. Among them, the Mind Guardian Crown best suited his needs, while the remaining three items protected the user from different angles, preventing him from being bewitched.

After a few moments of silence, Lin Feng asked again, "Is there a method that doesn't require external aids?"

Louis pondered for a moment, and after tapping the puppet's finger many times, he pulled up several eye-catching options.

"Mind Defense Field (500), At Field (900), Mind Mask (600), Mind Magic Circle (400), Mind Shaping (600)"

"Psychic Defense (500), Psychic Meditation (500), Psychic Magnetic Field (800)"

Lin Feng stared at the text word by word until he finished reading it, and then a sudden realization dawned on him.

He wanted every single one of these things!

Just as he finished reading, Louis's voice appeared in his ear: "Sir, these skills have very strict requirements for participants. In addition to attributes, participants are required to have a smooth ability to project their mental energy and to have mental power that can interfere with the material world."

As he spoke, Louis laid out some of his basic skills.

Defense is far more difficult than offense, and building a complete defense requires much more than just a little bit of effort.

"Primary Neural Awakening (100), Mental Entropy Enhancement (200), Mental Pulse (150), Mental Matrix (300), Mental Spatial Awakening (500)"

"Psychic Awakening (100), Psychic Enhancement (230), Psychic Shaping (160), Psychic Empowerment (300), Psychic Hardening (350), Brain Mind Refinement (300), Brain Overload (500)"

"Why can't I find these skills in the trading area?" Lin Feng glanced at them and a question arose in his mind.

Louis replied, "The search provided by Nightmare Space will be tailored to your current situation, unless you insist on searching."

Lin Feng sighed inwardly. The effects of these skills, when enhanced, were equally significant. If he had found these things when he first entered the Nightmare Space, he might have been swayed.

Just as he was sighing, Louis's eyes darted around a few times, and he tentatively asked, "Sir, perhaps you could try some kind of technological approach to mental protection?"

"Mental Matrix (400)"

"oh?"

Lin Feng opened the window and saw that the skill directly divided the human mind into six modules, forming a rotating polyhedron.

The mental dimension includes memory, belief, reason, emotion, speech, and behavior.

Memory?: It stores memories of the past.

Beliefs?: Thoughts about the external environment based on memory.

Reason: Responsible for controlling higher psychological functions such as attention, perception, consciousness, critical thinking, and self-control;

Emotions?: Humans' innate emotional senses and acquired emotional impulses.

Speech: An individual's speech habits.

Behavior?: Unintentional behavior, habits formed based on memory and cognition.

At the center of these six dimensions lies a person's "self".

The self is a person's true nature, the core of a person's existence after excluding the six dimensions. As long as one finds the self, one can be free from external interference.

"Uh, the basic skills of the Mechanical Ascension series..." Lin Feng finally understood the meaning of this skill after reading it to the end, and realized that he could reconstruct himself and achieve perfect control in a theoretical sense.

If you learn this, you'll definitely have a strong ability to execute tasks, but...

Suddenly, information about gene locks flashed through Lin Feng's mind. The third-order gene lock could give people the ability to construct and analyze data comparable to a computer, which was similar to this to some extent.

One is liberating and releasing the mind, and the other is unleashing the brain's potential; both require a strong foundation to support them.

"Sir, someone has already agreed to buy your Glass Eyes for 700 Nightmare Points. In addition, the other party is willing to spend 2,500 Nightmare Points to obtain the scroll to the Glass Eyes quest world from you."

"2500?"

Lin Feng was called back by Louis. Just as a number appeared in his mind, Louis's voice came again: "You can spend 1500 Nightmare Points to purchase a Mission World Return Scroll from Nightmare Space."

Price difference of 1000 points...

Lin Feng shook his head secretly and refused, saying, "Not for sale."

"Yes, sir."

Louis offered no advice and, after a brief exchange, transferred 700 Nightmare Points to Lin Feng.

Nightmare Points: 955

The moment he received it, Lin Feng said, "Purchase the Mind Matrix."

"Yes, sir."

The skill was quickly transferred to Lin Feng's hands. Looking at the remaining 500 Nightmare Points, Lin Feng made one last request: "I need better armor."

Louis's expression changed. In just two worlds, the Oberon bio-combat suit has already become obsolete?

Louis, despite his desire, quickly sent over the new equipment.

"hEV Nanosuit (300)"

A black, form-fitting combat suit that grants +2 to Strength and Agility, which affects Lin Feng's current stats. There are mechanical modules on his chest, shoulders, and legs, and an exoskeleton is attached to his back.

At the same time, a very friendly-looking man carrying a large black bag peeked out from a nearby shop: "Commander!"

Before Lin Feng could see clearly, a notification popped up next to the man.

"This modification project includes: system upgrade, removal of hidden code, artificial skin, Pandora wartime assistance system, energy optimization, and function upgrade, totaling 97 Nightmare Points."

955-400-300=97=158

Lin Feng reached out to allocate funds, checked the remaining Nightmare Points, bid farewell to Louis, wandered around the workshop area alone, and returned to his personal space.

After tidying up his belongings, Lin Feng changed into casual clothes, took out a smartphone he had bought in the Nightmare Space, and opened the door to the real world.

"Sizang 1967, the portrait is a talisman..."
