Qin Che stood up, and in an instant, steam burst from his body, as if his physical strength and reaction speed had been completely elevated to a higher level.
Bang!
The punch produced a sonic boom, vibrating the air and creating ripples that spread outwards. The walls on either side cracked repeatedly under the pressure of the punch, and even the ceiling of the room he was in was pelted with sand and gravel.
Force and Speed System, Master-level Techniques, Hard Qigong.
This is indeed very strong, decisive and efficient.
If one day his mechanical activity drops back to zero, this technique could serve as a very good alternative.
Master-level techniques naturally consume less psionic energy than extraordinary techniques.
As for usage habits, Qin Che still prefers to fight with living mechanical devices. These do not require bursting of energy, and their speed and power are much stronger than the former. They can also heal themselves, making him immune to all diseases.
Hard qigong, on the other hand, cannot heal itself; it can only block all attacks.
But it's still not very useful against extraordinary beings.
Just look at Li Xin. The Black Soldier's attack, which was just before Li Xin reached the threshold of Transcendent II, was enough to disrupt his particle control. The spiritual pressure alone was enough to make Li Xin lose control. Among Transcendent Psionicists, what matters is not level, internal strength, or experience, but the level of life. These are completely different concepts.
After all, no matter how clever a mouse is, it can't turn into a cat.
Of course, it's also possible that Li Xin didn't have that much fighting spirit to begin with, and if it really came down to a fight to the death, then it's hard to say.
In addition, this simulation also provided Qin Che with some intelligence information.
Princess Savanyin of the Royal Court, the Grand Chancellor of the Mechanicus, and the South Sea City-State Alliance possess a mysterious Old World technology, including Little Stone's perception-based extraordinary technique 'Super Intuition,' the new weapons of Wall One, the '.75 Incendiary Gun' and the 'Chainsaw Blade,' etc...
This is all very useful information and can be fully utilized.
However, the current plan needs to be changed. Staying at Wall One will not yield any further results. He does not want to let Yuan Lin escape. Since he is now in West Fortress, he will go there, find him, and kill him to prevent future troubles.
But where in Westburg is he hiding now...?
...
"The most likely location is the West Fortress Mansion."
Li Xin leaned against the wall, smoking. A crosswind blew, gently lifting a corner of his coat.
Are you sure?
Li Xin: "Because even if it's a fake Yuan Lin, the things he's done over the years are real. This means he wouldn't be hiding in a faraway place. He must be in a place that's easy to contact, convenient for planning and command, and most concealed. West Fort is Yuan Lin's territory. This person is cunning and has many burrows. His real body must be hidden in the cabinet's offices. However, if what you say is true, then none of us in Wall One, including all the elders of the city council, have ever seen Yuan Lin's true face."
"Is it possible that the Forest Group has met him?"
Li Xin shook his head: "This person is an outsider. He has always looked the same. He may have changed his appearance, or this may be his true appearance. However... I am not very willing to believe the information you have given me."
Qin Che smiled and asked, "Why?"
Li Xin: "Intuition."
"Is he really that cowardly? It takes so many years to train a fake to act as a stand-in. That doesn't fit Yuan Lin's character."
Qin Che said, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'When you're in the martial world, you're not in control of your own destiny'?"
Li Xin shook his head.
"Who would show their true colors in politics? Politicians are all layered cakes."
Li Xin rolled his eyes. "So what are you planning to do?"
"Give me people, I need resources. West Fort will be under military control starting tomorrow, but we have too few people. It's too difficult to find Yuan Lin, whom no one has ever seen before, like searching for a needle in a haystack."
Li Xin thought for a moment, "I have a psychic here who just graduated from the academy this year. He's an excellent student and a master of perception-based psychic abilities. He might be able to help you."
What's his name?
"His name is Lin Zhong."
"What kind of technique is it?"
"For range detection, you only need to give him one of Yuan Lin's personal items—hair, a coin, or clothing fibers—and he can help you find people related to it, with a location accuracy of within 100 meters."
"Well enough."
Qin Che didn't ask any further questions. He had learned some unspoken rules about interactions among psychics from Lina earlier.
Just like when he asked Li Xin what kind of technique it was, the other party dodged the question. If it were him, he would never tell an outsider the details of a technique like 'teleportation' or 'object manipulation'.
Knowing that he is a matter-manipulating superhuman is enough.
As for the proficiency and completeness of the technique, as well as any side effects or costs, these cannot be asked, because this is top secret information for every psychic.
However, Qin Che, who possessed the system, knew more than others.
Just like his teleportation technique, the farther the distance, the more spiritual energy it consumes. And then there's his object manipulation; controlling three swords at once was Qin Che's previous limit, but now…
Suddenly, Li Xin instructed, "You must grant me one request."
"What are the conditions?"
“Lin Zhong is a psionicist who graduated from an academy, and his joining the Awakening Department is documented. You can only have him help you secretly. If the Forest Group finds out and says that our Awakening Department is targeting them, it will be very troublesome, and the higher-ups will be unhappy.”
Qin Che smiled and said, "Understood, my dear minister."
Li Xin said, "This is to avoid escalating the conflict. You are now also a member of the Awakening Department, but I can't tell anyone for the time being."
Qin Che: "Once I kill Yuan Lin and the window of opportunity for cooperation between the two parties closes, can we then make a public announcement?"
"That needs to be put on the agenda of the Elders' Council meeting, and it can only be announced after the meeting approves it."
Qin Che rolled his eyes.
"As for the procedures, I can guarantee that it won't be delayed for too long. Once this is over, we'll immediately put the schedule for your joining the Awakening Department on the agenda."
Qin Che asked him, "After joining the Awakening Department, what kind of position can someone like me get? What kind of work will I be doing?"
Li Xin smiled faintly and held up two fingers. "The Awakening Department is still missing a deputy minister position. This is a nominal position, and you are still one level below me in terms of administrative rank. There is also an advisor position, which is at the same level as me. This is a position with real power. After you take office, I will gradually transfer the power to you. You can choose yourself."
"You're giving me so much face?"
Li Xin stubbed out his cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke. "It's been many years since I've met a superhuman like you. We're the same kind of people. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future. The last thing I want is to be your enemy."
Qin Che reached out and grasped his hand. "Then I'll take your good wishes."
Li Xin smiled, his body transformed into particles, turned into light and dissipated. At the same time, his voice came from the void again: "Wait here. In half an hour, I will have Lin Zhong come here to see you."
Qin Che lowered his head, clenched his fist, and felt the power brought to him by the life force of the Extraordinary II. He murmured to himself, "The same kind? Heh..."
