Chapter 27

After causing trouble for two neighbors, Ye Bai didn't dare to continue testing the waters. He couldn't possibly cause trouble for the entire cabin.

After failing to use his mental power, Ye Bai chose to change his approach.

What about using magic?

Like talent, although magic is a skill in the game, when Ye Bai had this idea, she inexplicably had a feeling... that she could use it in reality.

Unlike games, the feeling of control in reality is more concrete. It's not like in games where skills are released as soon as a thought comes to mind, but the mental power can truly sense and control the process of elemental 'particles' being mobilized.

Or to put it from a scientific point of view, magic does not appear out of thin air, but is achieved by mobilizing microscopic particles through mental power.

Ye Bai was so sure about this because she found that there were five spells that she could not use at the moment: wind blade, fireball, ice bomb, ground spike, and vine.

Ye Bai knew from scientific common sense that the phenomena of these five spells required a planetary environment, but they could not be used now because the spacecraft was sailing in space.

On the contrary, the three spells that can be used are Lightning, Lightning Arrow, and Slow...

Even though Ye Bai's scientific knowledge was not very solid, he could roughly infer that these spells probably corresponded to electrons, magnetism and gravity.

Thinking of this, Ye Bai took a deep breath and understood more deeply why spiritual power is so valued by all civilizations in this era of the universe.

It took thousands and thousands of years of scientific and technological development to establish a complex and advanced theoretical foundation and industrial standards, allowing intelligent creatures to understand the basic forces for small-scale use, while mental power can be controlled directly by thoughts... It's like the universe is playing a joke on all technological civilizations!

As for the last psychic magic psychic ray, Ye Bai was not sure what basic force it corresponded to. This skill in the game could break through armor and cause real damage, perhaps similar to a different use of mental power.

After considering for a moment, Ye Bai decided to make a bold attempt.

She returned to the Myriad Worlds and used up all the skill points and talent points that she had not used before.

Ye Bai added his first precious skill point to [Magic Siphon] on the skill panel.

For a Whisperer with "magical bloodline", mastering all types of magic is not a skill, but a characteristic of the Whisperer.

Other effects based on this are the real skills of this hidden profession.

[Magic Siphon] is a passive skill with a simple effect: converting 20% ​​of the spell damage to the enemy into one's own psychic energy.

This is an important passive skill that makes up for the Whisperer's lack of mana, and can greatly improve Ye Bai's endurance in battle.

Ye Bai originally planned to add talent points to [Sleight of Hands] - [Weapon Mastery] to unlock combo skills for all weapons, but after discovering that the [Identification] talent was also useful in reality, she realized the important value of this talent.

Currently, no other race on the Star Network has acquired similar talents. Ye Bai suspects that it is because he, as an ancient human at the bottom of the evolutionary chain, can independently choose an evolutionary direction.

Ye Bai added talent points to the second-level talent [Insight] of [Identification].

Accompanied by the familiar golden light, Ye Bai couldn't help but hug his head.

She felt as if her brain was pierced by an ice pick. The 1% pain sensation did not work this time. It was as if a gap was opened in her head, and the cold wind from the outside rushed in. Some inexplicable mysterious changes occurred inside.

After a while, the feeling disappeared and Ye Bai recovered. He stared at the talent page in a daze.

【Insight】

Passive effect: Crisis perception. You will get a prompt when encountering hostility. The prompt distance depends on the level difference between yourself and the hostile target.

Unique Active (Weakness Observation): Weakness Observation, 5-second cooldown, no cost, 90% chance to discover the target's common weaknesses; 60% chance to discover the target's hidden negative characteristics; 10% chance to discover the target's fatal weaknesses (for each rank difference with the target, all discovery probabilities are reduced by 30%)

It is also a talent that helps in combat. The rank here refers to job transfer. That is, when Ye Bai has a job transfer, he needs to use Weakness Observation on enemies who have a job transfer. There is only a 60% chance of discovering common weaknesses, a 30% chance of discovering hidden negative characteristics, and no chance of discovering fatal weaknesses.

The pain of upgrading her talent was something Ye Bai hadn't anticipated. She increasingly suspected that the game's talent might correspond to genetic evolution in real life. But then again, why did her job change seem so uneventful? She had clearly mastered so many previously unseen spells.

The mysteries of the universe are increasing...

Exhaling, Ye Bai logged off and returned to reality.

This time, she clearly felt that her control over her mental power was stronger, and her perception of her surroundings became easier and clearer.

If she had to transform into a physical body to "touch" to obtain information before, now her spiritual body is like her soul leaving her body, able to "see and hear".

Ye Bai released [Insight] on the nutrition cabins around him.

Then, her spirit body "saw" that crack-like spots appeared at different locations on these nutrient capsules.

The one with the most spots was indeed the nutrition cabin that Ye Bai had just explored and had the shortest time until the next failure.

It is confirmed that weakness observation is also applicable to machinery. The more weaknesses there are, the greater the possibility of failure. There is nothing wrong.

Then Ye Bai found the location of the 'spot' on his nutrition cabin.

After thinking about it, he mobilized the minimum amount of mental power and released a minimum-spec version of the [Arrow of Light] directly at the weak point inside.

This nutrient cabin does not necessarily use electricity. The magnetic force corresponding to light spells is more widely used in this era. It is suitable for disguising mechanical failures, not to mention the slow spell that may involve the use of gravity. Changing the gravity in a sailing spacecraft, Ye Bai does not know what unpredictable consequences will be caused.

A streak of light appeared and disappeared within the mechanical structure of the nutrient capsule, causing no reaction.

Ye Bai was not in a hurry and used arrows of light on the other two weak points.

After a thorough inspection, she saw that the next failure time had dropped from over a thousand hours to 382 hours.

This confirms that the spell worked.

So, Ye Bai attacked the first weakness again, slightly increasing the energy, almost to the level of the youth version of [Arrow of Light].

"Sizzle..."

Suddenly, a series of sparks erupted from the gap in the nutrient compartment, and the green light indicating normal operation went out, immediately triggering the alarm of the monitoring system in the cabin.

Ye Bai immediately reduced his mental power to the same size as that of the other neighbors around him and waited nervously.

The nutrient capsule will automatically register anesthetics to prevent abnormalities in the organisms inside. When abnormalities occur in the nutrient capsule, there is a high probability that the spacecraft's maintenance personnel will come to repair it to prevent accidents.

Especially when Ye Bai saw that no repair robot appeared after the alarm sounded, he became more certain of this idea.

Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, the hatch at the end opened.

In the midst of tension, Ye Bai sensed someone coming in, and his spirit body was glowing steadily. Unlike those unconscious inmates, it was not confined to the brain, but extended beyond the body, forming an oval shape that was one centimeter larger than the body's size.

The mental power released from the body is D-level!

Ye Bai shrunk his disguised spiritual body a little more subtly, and at the same time realized what the state of the spiritual body was like when awake.

The maintenance worker seemed impatient and floated in front of Ye Bai, cursing all the way. He automatically passed the protection verification, then dismantled the outer shell of the nutrition cabin and began to repair it.

Thanks to his more sensitive spiritual body and personal terminal, Ye Bai caught every word of the other party's complaints.

"Damn it! It's 69 hours before reaching headquarters, and it broke down on the way. Why didn't it break down after arriving so it wouldn't affect my rating..."

"This cruel group, equipped with a star network, restricts entry into the Ten Thousand Worlds. If Tut City weren't filled with members of this group, I wouldn't have given it so much thought!"

"So this component is broken. γ-78 Industrial Star's products are getting worse with each generation. The purchasing agent, Tro, must have taken a lot of kickbacks. He also got away with the responsibility for the exhibition hall malfunction last time."

Ye Bai just hoped that this person would complain more, but her next words scared her.

"It seems that it's not completely repaired. Never mind. These goods are not for exhibition anyway. If they die, it won't have much impact."

Not going to the exhibition? Ye Bai's spirit body couldn't stabilize its breathing rate and trembled.

The repairman raised his head, his expression froze.

At this moment, Ye Bai was already operating his mind rays.

"So this is the problem! I told you... I graduated with an A+ in Mechanical Maintenance!" The other party excitedly buried his head in repairing it.

...Didn’t notice?

At this distance, less than a meter away, the opponent, also a D-level, hadn't noticed her change? She was ready for battle!

Ye Bai was shocked and confused, thinking about the reaction of the spiritual body next door when he just probed her spiritual power... Could it be that her spiritual power was different from that of normal spiritual power users?

As soon as this idea came into his mind, Ye Bai immediately realized that now was the best opportunity to verify it!

So, Ye Bai slowly changed the frequency of his mental fluctuations.

The spirit body was clearly right in front of the repairman, but it seemed to be completely unaware of Ye Bai's changes.

Ye Bai's spirit body is now curled up into a ball. It is impossible that the other party is acting out of fear. Besides, this spaceship must be equipped with armed forces. If any abnormality is found, they can just sound the alarm.

As the other party showed no reaction, Ye Bai's probing actions became increasingly exaggerated.

In the end, Ye Bai's mental tentacles stretched out, twisting into an S shape and then into a B shape. The other party was still unaware and packed up the tools, covered the outer shell of the nutrition cabin and knocked on it.

After going through the whole process, Ye Bai finally confirmed that ordinary psychics, even if they were at the same D level, could not control the form of their psychic power as freely as she did, let alone actively extend and expand their perception. It was as if their psychic power was a passive skill, and perhaps they would only feel something when their psychic body touched it.

The maintenance worker left the cabin, and it became quiet again, with only the green light of the nutrient compartment functioning normally.

Ye Bai began to carefully analyze the information that the other party had previously revealed.

It took 69 hours to reach the headquarters, the headquarters of the Makul Group, which is most likely the Makul planet. The other party also mentioned an exhibition, which coincided with Ye Bai's impression of the interstellar zoo.

If the destination of the spacecraft is to go to the planet Makul, Ye Bai would feel slightly relieved.

She was currently in a dilemma on the spaceship. Unaware of its armed forces, the dangers of rash action were too great. Even if she managed to use her magic to destroy the ship, how would she survive in the vastness of space without knowing how to pilot it? Not to mention that the other party wasn't stupid and would immediately signal reinforcements if they encountered any anomalies.

If he was taken to a secret base completely occupied by the Makul Group, it would be very dangerous for Ye Bai to escape when it was full of enemies.

But now that it was confirmed to be Makul Planet, it was an entertainment planet open to the outside world and not completely controlled by the Makul Group. A plan to escape the predicament began to slowly form in Ye Bai's mind...

She needed a riot, a riot that would affect the entire Makur Group.

If he wanted to do this, it might not be possible if he only relied on Ye Bai's mental strength, but...

Ye Bai returned to the Ten Thousand Worlds and trotted to the teleportation formation that connected Melo City to the outside world.

As soon as Ye Bai approached the teleportation array, a selection page appeared in his sight.

【Search for 'Tut City'】

The next second, the only matching option appeared on the page.

Thanks to the chatty maintainer, and thanks to the default registration method of Wanjie——

In reality, Ye Bai cannot shake the Makul Group's base, but in the "White Night" of the Ten Thousand Worlds, he can!
