Chapter 26

After getting rid of the pursuers and entering the inner city, Ye Bai opened the new career panel that was added after his job change.

[The Whisperer]

Occupational characteristics: Magic omnipotence

Effect: Unlocks all magic (current level 1), reduces spell range by 30%, reduces spell strength by 30%, and consumes an additional 2 times the psychic energy for spell casting.

Description: You have activated the 'bloodline of magic', pray for the favor of the elemental laws!

Current professional skills: None

Skill Points: 1

Just like when she upgraded her talent, Ye Bai carefully experienced the changes after the job change. She had an indescribable wonderful feeling. The changes were not as obvious as the abnormal feeling when she upgraded her talent. It was as if the knowledge she originally knew was revived from some corner of her memory.

Ye Bai waved towards the branches beside the road, and the next moment, a wind blade flew towards her target and accurately cut off a leaf.

Fireball, Ice Bullet, Earth Spike, Vine, Lightning, Lightning Arrow, Slow, Mind Ray... all basic skills of magic, Ye Bai mastered them all automatically without any additional learning.

This is the extraordinary thing about hidden professions. If you normally change your profession to an elemental mage, all these skills must be learned through skill points.

Each type of spell has its own unique advantages, as well as its own shortcomings. The promotion of ordinary magic professions is from few to many, starting with a certain type of spell and then slowly increasing it in the later stages. The hidden profession of Whisperer is the only one that can directly unlock all types of spells.

Therefore, the profession of Whisperer, when it falls into the hands of Ye Bai, who is basically familiar with all the skills of the game, can be played with great skill, and can be called a true hexagonal wizard.

However, the price is also very obvious. This hidden profession deeply interprets what it means to be "broad but not specialized". The three most critical aspects of spell effects: spell range, spell strength, and spell consumption have all been weakened.

If you want to change it, you need to use skill points.

After a successful job transfer, a new job panel will be added to all professions. Like the talent tree, a career tree will also appear. You can use skill points to strengthen skills or learn new skills on the career tree.

For example, an ice elemental mage can add skill points to the basic Ice Bolt skill, obtaining [Ice Bolt - Modified] to enhance the damage and range of Ice Bolt, and can also use it to learn its advanced skill [Ice Cone].

Ye Bai is different, because she is in a weakened state, so she uses skill points to strengthen the skill to make the skill effect return to the normal level, but once she learns advanced skills, she can learn all the skills at once.

In this case, if you want to become stronger, it means you need to invest more skill points than ordinary professions.

There are only three ways to obtain skill points: like talent points, you automatically gain 1 point every five levels, you are rewarded for completing high-difficulty tasks, and you have a small chance of dropping a skill book by killing the dungeon boss.

It’s not that Ye Bai has a guide, but most players don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse to switch to a hidden profession.

At the same time, Ye Bai's personal panel finally added a new professional logo -

Psionic Energy: 194/250

The magic profession has the highest psychic energy value among all the transferred professions, and the whisperer has the highest psychic energy value among all the magic professions, without a doubt.

Although the number 250 is somewhat ironic, compared to the 100-150 range of ordinary job changers and the 150-200 range of magic professions, this value still makes up for the double casting cost.

Without rushing to add skill points and talent points, Ye Bai logged off directly in the inner city.

Ye Bai had just exited the star network when his eyes were once again engulfed in darkness.

But this time of going offline was obviously different from the previous ones. In the past, Ye Bai always felt that mental power was very mysterious, and felt that it was like a concept that could not be seen or touched. But now, she felt the "existence" of mental power for the first time.

This feeling is difficult to describe in words. It is like growing a new limb that can be flexibly changed. It is a different kind of perception than "sight, hearing and touch", but more comprehensive.

Ye Bai issued an instruction to his personal terminal.

【Testing Mental Strength】

[Psychic energy level quantitative assessment in progress, current range: 50 nano+, rating D+]

The mental strength has indeed been upgraded to D level!

At this stage, they are considered to be beyond ordinary people and have reached the level of the most basic combat units in the universe. Although they are still very weak, they are finally able to use mental power to influence the outside world and step into the extraordinary realm.

At the same time, due to the special properties of mental power, the personal terminal, a micro-machine, has reached its upper limit in terms of the mental power it can assess. It can only measure that Ye Bai's mental power fluctuation exceeds 50 nanometers, but cannot obtain the specific value. In other words, if a mental power user above level D uses it, the result will be the same as Ye Bai's.

Now it can be said that the personal terminal has truly become Ye Bai's personal tool, free from the possibility of being controlled by other signals, because Ye Bai can already use his mental power to isolate it.

Afterwards, Ye Bai slowly became proficient in the use of his mental power, transforming it into his own 'tentacles' extending outwards, which he carefully and slowly extended out of his body.

The identification function was kept open during this period. As Ye Bai expected, it was also able to make a 'tactile' judgment and successfully obtained the same nutrient solution information as before.

The mental power extended outwards again, passed through the nutrient solution, and touched the metal cabin.

"MF-100 hibernation capsule, manufactured on the industrial planet γ-78 Centauri."

'Time until next failure: 14793 hours'

After trying many times and confirming that he had only obtained these two pieces of valid information, Ye Bai continued to extend his mental power outward.

'Abnormal status monitor (normal mode)'

'Magnetic field protection-standard level 4'

As soon as he leaned out of the cabin, Ye Bai's mental power sensed two more pieces of information.

There are monitoring and protective equipment outside the nutrition cabin!

Ye Bai was startled, and her mental tentacles subconsciously bounced back until nothing unusual happened. Only then did she react. The special thing about mental power is that it is difficult for normal machines to capture it. Only psychics and a very small number of special materials can sense it.

Obviously, because it was not expected that Ye Bai in the nutrition cabin could improve his mental power to level D, there was no equipment here that could detect mental power.

Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief and continued exploring, and then he saw more nutrition capsules of the same type placed side by side.

Ye Bai counted them one by one... Wow, this place looks like a circular spaceship cabin. There are six in a circle, and thirty-six nutrition cabins are placed vertically side by side at 360 degrees, close to the spaceship cabin body, and they all have life characteristics.

Ye Bai could "see" this characteristic without having to use his mental power to probe into the nutrient capsule, as if it was a natural characteristic of mental power.

In her perception, the spiritual power of these lives was somewhat similar to a breathing light, flashing steadily within a fixed range. They should also be intelligent creatures that were captured and were still dormant and had not woken up.

It seems that the Makul Group has captured more than just Ye Bai as a "rare species", and it is very likely that they were not even captured in the same galaxy.

After exploring the cabin with his mental power, Ye Bai began to feel noticeably tired, especially when he extended the tentacles of his mental power to places farther away from him, which was the most strenuous. When he used it not far away from him, it was obviously much easier.

Fortunately, just like recovering his spirit, Ye Bai retreated and rested for a while, then he was able to continue moving.

There was no more information about the entire spaceship cabin, and Ye Bai could not explore further, so he could only conclude that this cabin was specially used by the Makul forces to detain creatures that they had captured illegally.

Then these are my 'cellmates'...

Ye Bai's mental tentacles can sense machinery, but cannot sense the appearance of creatures with mental power. The only thing she can feel is that some of these "lights" are bigger and some are smaller, but she can feel that they are all weaker than her. So, does the size of this "light" represent the level of mental power?

If this is the case, it means that excluding Ye Bai, the mental power of all intelligent creatures in this cabin should be below level D.

Do you want to try to escape from the nutrition cabin?

No, that's too hasty. D-level is not a high level in the universe. In many evolved high-level civilizations, ordinary people have D-level mental power since birth. For example, in the Fantasy Sea civilization, which is ranked among the top civilizations in the Milky Way as far as Ye Bai knows, and is the civilization where our alien friend Aurora is located, ordinary people are at least D-level, and the strongest even reach A-level.

However, it was obviously not an option to just sit there and wait for death. After thinking about it, Ye Bai directed his mental power to his "cellmate" in the nutrition cabin next to him.

If there were someone around who knew more, they might be able to find a way out.

However, after Ye Bai's spiritual power touched the spirit of her 'neighbor next door', there was no normal communication as she had imagined.

As soon as Ye Bai touched the spiritual body on the opposite side, it was like a drop of water dropped into a hot oil pan. The entire spiritual body shook violently like a light bulb with unstable voltage, and was no longer stable as before.

Ye Bai didn't even know whether his message was conveyed successfully. He only felt a strong panic and fear from the other party's mental fluctuations.

how so?

Ye Bai immediately withdrew her mental power, full of questions and at a loss. It felt as if she had just said "Hi" with a smile, and the other party suddenly screamed heart-wrenchingly.

No one knew what kind of creature the 'cellmate' was. Its body structure might be different from that of ancient humans. The violent mental fluctuations might have caused its limbs to move, instantly triggering the 'abnormal status monitor' that Ye Bai had discovered before.

"drop--!"

An alarm sounded, and Ye Bai's mental tentacles found that a mechanical device on the edge of the nutrient compartment next door was touched. A tube of liquid popped out from it, connected to the nutrient compartment, and was injected in bit by bit.

Ye Bai immediately used [Identification] on the tube of liquid:

"Anesthetic GP-63+, patented by the Fifth Research Institute of the Makur Group, contains twice the active ingredient of GP-63."

Ye Bai: ...I'm sorry, fellow inmate!!

With the injection of the drug with double anesthetic effect, the spirit body next door slowly calmed down and became the same as it was at the beginning.

Ye Bai waited for a while, until everything returned to silence, then extended his mental tentacles to the other side of 'Inmate No. 2'.

A moment later...

"drop--!"

In his heart, Ye Bai apologized to inmate No. 2, who had also been given an extra injection of anesthetic, and silently withdrew his mental power:

…It seems to be her problem.
