Chen Ming searches on the web.

As his eyes swept across the wide variety of options, he suddenly saw an option for a customized psychic weapon that Bai Quan had made for him some time ago.

1000 contribution points are required and materials must be provided by yourself.

I don’t know where Baiquan, a non-psychic, got this thing from.

In addition to choosing this customization, you can also actively purchase some unique weapons and equipment with psychic properties on the website.

They all seem to be things found from the ruins of another civilization.

For example, psychic energy fluctuations can be transformed into weapons with physical lethal properties.

And by injecting mental power in advance, using the special structure in the device to create a layer of mental shield and other equipment.

However, compared to these things that Chen Ming can replace with his own abilities, he is more concerned about another kind of psychic melee weapon that possesses the characteristics of spiritual stone.

The category of melee weapons is quite special. Without sufficient coordination, melee weapons will definitely not be able to compete with ranged weapons such as guns.

But what is strange is that the prices of several melee weapons that Chen Ming sees now are higher than those of some other weapons with psychic properties.

Moreover, this price is not for those psychic weapons which only have the name and gimmick of psychic weapons but can only be used as auxiliary weapons. Instead, it is for psychic weapons that truly have the ability to convert psychic fluctuations or mental power into output means.

Chen Ming took a quick look at the introduction and found that these melee weapons were actually found from another civilization.

The introduction says that this is not about embedding the spiritual stone into psychic weapons, nor is it about grinding or forging the spiritual stone into some simple cold weapons.

Instead, the effect of the spirit stone is completely integrated with the weapon.

This means that the Spirit Stone and the psionic materials that make up the weapon are extremely compatible.

It is not like Chen Ming is simply embedding the Madness Words Spiritual Essence Stone into his "Ming" like this, but the effect of truly combining the two into one.

If the user has a very good compatibility with this psychic weapon, then the increase gained from the psychic weapon will definitely increase exponentially.

Even if the compatibility between the user and the material of the psychic weapon is not very good, it is definitely superior to other psychic weapons that are randomly inlaid with spiritual stones.

The basic mental power increase given by Chen Ming's own "Ming" when he first obtained it was 1.1 times.

After the Whisper of Madness Spirit Stone was inlaid at the back, the effect reached 1.3 times.

Overall it doesn't look like much.

The reason is that the designer chose materials with relatively neutral and peaceful properties to make psychic weapons for Chen Ming. After all, Chen Ming has not undergone a systematic physical examination until now, and the nature of Chen Ming's psychic power is still uncertain.

Therefore, the choice of materials must be based on materials with a wide range of applications.

However, because the properties of the Whisper of Madness spiritual stone inlaid by Chen Ming are relatively intense, the combined bonus of the two is not much.

But if the psychic weapon itself is made of materials with more extreme properties, or if Chen Ming chooses to inlay spiritual stones with more ordinary properties, then the superposition effect of spiritual stones of the same nature will definitely be extraordinary.

This is just inlay. If you want to achieve a perfect fusion effect, the material properties of the two must be almost identical.

The final amplifying effect on the user can be imagined.

The exaggerated increase alone is enough to make people jealous.

And another very special thing is that this kind of psychic melee weapon really has modern and even futuristic technology.

Because the name of the melee weapon that Chen Ming liked was the Single-Molecular Crystal Gold Sword.

Single molecule means single molecule of the blade.

Crystal gold is a special grade material.

A sword made of special-grade material has only one molecule on the blade, so the cutting strength seems to be a bit exaggerated.

"Wait a moment."

Chen Ming was so busy thinking about the purpose of this thing and how powerful its functions were that he almost forgot one thing.

Hasn't his psychic power already been able to reach the microscopic realm?

He had long been able to control materials at the atomic level, which meant that he could also create a single-molecule sword.

Chen Ming raised a hand.

Liquid metal condensed in his hand out of thin air, and a sci-fi style sword exactly the same as the one on the website appeared in his hand.

Except for the slightly different materials, since Chen Ming does not have crystal gold, he can only use other special-grade materials instead.

Apart from the nanorobots inside the handle, it is just a single-molecule sword.

Bai Quan, who was sorting out the lesson plan nearby, saw this scene and immediately asked, "What are you doing?"

“I’m looking to see if these things are worth the price.”

"?"

Bai Quan put down the computer and walked to Chen Ming's side. He glanced at the terminal in Chen Ming's hand and the sword that had already taken shape, and said, "And then you made a single-molecule sword yourself?"

"Yes, but I can't fuse the psychic material with the spiritual stone."

"And there seems to be another problem."

Chen Ming turned the tip of the sword so that it pointed directly at the ground, and then let go of his hand.

It did not sink directly into the ground with only the hilt left outside as Chen Ming had expected. Instead, after piercing the ground for about one-third of the length of the sword, it became fixed in place at an angle . Its blade was blunt.

The blade of the monomolecular sword is made of pure monomolecules. While it has terrifying cutting power, it also means that the blade is extremely fragile.

Now Chen Ming knew what the nanorobot in the hilt was used for.

It is used to maintain the sword blade to ensure that the single-molecular structure of the sword blade is not damaged.

All I can say is that the other civilization really used some unexpected things in unexpected places in its design.

Chen Ming bent down and pulled out the sword from the ground, raised it to the previous position and released it again.

This time, when the monomolecular sword fell, Chen Ming continued to use maintenance energy on the sword.

This time the sword successfully sank completely into the ground, leaving only the hilt exposed.

Seeing this scene, Baiquan said: "So what is your conclusion? Is it worth it?"

"It's OK."

"It's worth the price for other people, but it's a bit of a loss for me."

After all, Chen Ming can replace single molecules and nanorobots by himself. The only thing that makes this weapon valuable to him is the fusion of spirit stone and psychic weapon.

Moreover, this nanorobot gave Chen Ming the feeling of using a circuit board on an arrow.

Although according to the technology of that civilization, there must be a reason for the existence of such a thing, he could also think of it.

For example, any psychic with super strong charge and movement abilities would definitely be able to use this monomolecular sword once they get their hands on it.

But if there is no need for close combat, or if you can ensure that you will not be approached, then it is hard to say.

Chen Ming usually doesn't take risks.

After getting the implants, there will probably be no chance of someone having their face kissed by someone else.

So although Chen Ming does think that this kind of thing that is a complete fusion of spiritual stone and psychic weapon is good, it is not worth it if he has to make a loss.

You can just get an ordinary monomolecular sword and use it.

Chen Ming passed the psychic single-molecule sword and looked at something else.

Soon, two unique weapons appeared in his eyes.

Psychic shock gun and mind confusion gun.

It is the size of a rifle, and looks black and green on the outside. Its shape is simple enough that it barely resembles a gun.

Their effect is also simple and crude, which is to directly release mental pulses.

One pulse will directly cause a mental shock and knock a person unconscious, while the other pulse will interfere with the consciousness of the person being hit.

It will cause the brain of the person hit to become confused, and he will indiscriminately attack other people around him, just like the mind pulse generators that the mechanical race once threw around.

However, the manual says that this is a riot-suppression weapon and is not lethal. It looks a little more benign than what the mechanical race uses.

But the introduction also said that this thing has a chance of burning the brain due to psychic shock, which makes it hard not to wonder who this violence is for.

Anyway, Chen Ming had obtained the device for emitting mental pulses before, so he didn't need it now. He just took a few glances at it and continued to look at other things.

Chen Ming found that many things on this website looked good.

But either he doesn't need it, or he already has a substitute.

So in the end, Chen Ming just barely marked a few things that might be useful and looked at the materials area.

Materials are much more useful to him than other things. At least he can freely make them into what he needs.

The value of various psychic materials ranges from a few contributions to hundreds or thousands.

The most expensive ones are basically special-grade materials with psychic properties.

For example, the psychic crystal gold material used to make the single molecule of psychic crystal gold he had just seen, even though crystal gold is only in the middle and lower reaches of special materials, the value of one kilogram is about 1,200 contribution points.

There will also be different price trends depending on the nature of the psychic energy.

The more positive the emotion, the higher its value; the more extreme it is, the higher its value.

The most valuable one among them is a crystal gold material with the property of "ecstasy", and its price is even three thousand contribution points.

No wonder a monomolecular sword is so expensive, as the material accounts for a large proportion of it.

Then Chen Ming should not buy this thing at all.

After resolutely deciding on his thoughts, Chen Ming continued reading.

In addition to these materials that can be mined naturally, others are materials obtained from psychic creatures.

It includes skin, flesh, bones, blood, and everything else. After all, the psychic power of a psychic creature exists in itself, so the entire psychic creature is valuable.

Chen Ming suddenly realized that he had never seen many psychic creatures until now, let alone powerful psychic creatures.

I have seen powerful creatures before, including the Queen of Insects, the Aurora Wind Spirit, and the phase behemoth I saw before, but there are indeed not many psychic creatures.

If he could come across a few of them, he would definitely try to catch them.

Chen Ming looked at the list of these biological materials, and all kinds of strange thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

And one of these strange thoughts suddenly swirled in his mind.

Are the materials produced by Yan Xiong considered materials from psychic creatures or other materials that can be mined?

No, what he should be concerned about is not the properties of psychic materials, but the uses of these psychic materials.

Chen Ming suddenly looked up at Bai Quan and said, "Let me ask you something. Where do the things that are exchanged on these websites come from?"

"Many of these materials were captured from various wars, and some were sold by psychics and then distributed here."

"Does that mean I can sell this kind of stuff, too?"

"Yes, there is someone who is buying it. It's at the Psychic Research Institute of our headquarters. I'll ask around for you later. What do you want to sell?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, don't worry, then can the things I get in exchange for these contribution points be resold to others?"

"If you are short of money, you can sell it. There are also marks on the website. Those marked cannot be sold. Selling them is against discipline. But if there are no marks, you can do whatever you want."

Bai Quan randomly clicked on the page of something on the terminal in Chen Ming's hand and pointed to an inconspicuous little check mark.

Chen Ming nodded.

This also seems to be a way to make extra money.

"Then can psykers trade these things among themselves?"

"Of course you can, but just like reselling, only those that have checked the box can be sold freely. Those that have not checked the box can only be sold between psychics in official forces such as the military and government."

"And I heard that the things you psychics use are usually traded face to face. You are very particular about whether the items are suitable or not. You will only trade after you have actually confirmed it face to face. If it is not suitable, the transaction will be terminated."

Just like when he was condensing the source of spiritual energy before, whether the material was suitable or not depended entirely on fate.

Just before Chen Ming was about to continue asking questions, Bai Quan said, "But we only have three psychics in our branch, including you. There are a few more psychics in our headquarters, so it's not easy to trade now."

"oh."

It seems that I can only try to trade things with others if I have the chance to go back to the headquarters.

Chen Ming lowered his head again.

He looked at another thing that interested him, the fairy tree species.

However, when Chen Ming saw the price, he immediately ignored it.

The value of a fairy tree species is 20,000 contribution points.

Although this is the raw material for making many medicines and plays an extremely important role for psychics, Chen Ming really doesn't have that many points.

He could only mark this tree species temporarily now, and at the same time raise the value of Yan Xiong a little in his mind. After all, someone was willing to exchange the fairy tree seedling for Yan Xiong before.

Then he turned his gaze to another important thing to him that he could probably afford now.

Artificial spiritual nerves.

Chen Ming is now just a little away from the critical node. If he can activate this spiritual nerve, he might be able to cross it directly.

The value of an artificial spiritual nerve is 10,000 contribution points.

It is equivalent to exchanging a special merit for a chance to become a psychic.

Chen Ming suddenly raised his head again and looked at Bai Quan.

Baiquan had already sorted out the lesson plan by this time and asked, "Have you finished reading it? Can we start the class now?"

"Wait, I have another question. Where did you get the spiritual awakening nerve you gave me earlier? This should be something that only psychics with special merits can get, right?"

Baiquan recalled for a moment and said, "It's not something that only psychics can get. It was given to me when I was promoted to major general, but I never used it, so I gave it to you."

"I'm not interested in taking this low-probability bet. I might as well use it to exchange for some resources somewhere else. As you know, I got a lieutenant general in return."

Chen Ming suddenly frowned slowly because he suddenly thought of what happened in the past.

"Is the Qiling Nerve for sale? Can anything of the special merit level be sold?"

"And I heard that under normal circumstances, when this kind of artificial spiritual awakening nerve is implanted in a non-psychic, it is actually completely meaningless except for slightly activating the implanter's mental power."

"Is it really good to exchange a special merit for something as gambling-like as this?"

Bai Quan looked at Chen Ming in surprise and asked, "Where did you hear this?"

"The boss's side."

“Oh, that’s actually a little different.”

"Wu An is talking about the spiritual awakening nerves that are sold to the outside world. They are different from the spiritual awakening nerves that we really use to increase the chance of becoming a psychic."

"Let me put it this way. After the Spiritual Awakening Nerves sold to the public are implanted, the probability of awakening spiritual power through these Spiritual Awakening Nerves is 0%."

"0%?"

"Yes, it's that low. Those who seem to have awakened their psychic powers after the implantation of the spiritual awakening nerve are 100% people who can awaken psychic powers naturally."

"As for whether it's worth it to get this in exchange for a special merit, I can only say that this is an option and you don't have to choose it."

"Besides, these 10,000 contribution points are not just for awakening the spirit nerves, but also for supporting items."

Bai Quan once again recalled the various precautions that had been explained to him regarding the use of this spiritual awakening nerve.

"First of all, if you want to implant the spiritual awakening nerve, you must first go to the Fanchao Research Institute and undergo a physical examination to confirm your physical condition and the state of your mental strength."

"Then, after a period of active training to ensure the activity of the mental power, it is finally absorbed under the protection of various supporting medical facilities to ensure the safety of the absorber."

Seeing Chen Ming's expression as if he wanted to say something, Bai Quan said directly: "Not everyone is as fierce as you and can eat the Qi Ling nerves raw."

"The Fanchao Research Institute is the department that mainly studies this thing. The rules they set must be followed by them."

"The director of our Fourteenth Legion's Psychic Research Institute can only go to them to learn."

"Just think about the full set of services provided by the Fanchao Research Institute. It's worth a special merit, right?"

"As for the spiritual awakening nerves bought by the rich, it doesn't matter. Just find a local spiritual research institute to implant them. As long as you don't kill the person, you can do whatever you want."

“It’s also a means of recovering some extra assets from wealthy people.”

Chen Ming suddenly couldn't understand again and asked, "Recover assets? Isn't Fanchao Research Institute an independent research institute?"

"Of course not. It is a research institute directly under the Empire."

"Directly under the Empire..."

Bai Quan explained to Chen Ming: "The government, the army, and the ruling party of the empire are three different concepts. Generally speaking, those who are directly under the empire refer to those who are directly under the ruling party of the empire."

"I know, I just feel a little surprised. You know my hamster, right?"

"Yes, it's the pet rat of Fan Chao's laboratory. I don't know where you picked it up from."

"Ramu."

Chen Ming answered Bai Quan's question and said, "The problem lies with the hamster. I didn't expect that a laboratory directly under the Empire would actually study this. I always thought that because the Fanchao Research Institute is an independent research institute, it would study some weird things."

"Forehead……"

Bai Quan also suddenly realized that there was something strange about it, and said uncertainly: "Maybe someone in their group took the time to work on this thing."

Chen Ming just asked casually because he felt it was a little strange, and he didn't argue with Bai Quan about this matter.

Because there was something else he was more concerned about.

"By the way, are these 10,000 contribution points fixed?"

"You know my situation. I don't need anyone to help me. I can absorb it myself. I can't ask them to check me. So I don't want these things. Can you make them cheaper?"

Bai Quan couldn't give an answer for a moment: "This...how about I go and ask for you?"

"Can't you make the decision?"

"The matter of psychics is not just an internal matter of our Fourteenth Legion. All psychic resources belong to the entire empire, and it involves the Fanchao Research Institute. We really need to ask about this matter."

"Okay, we'll talk about this later."

Chen Ming threw the terminal away and sat down at his usual seat for class.

All I can say is that there is still a lot of stuff on this webpage, at least he can't finish reading it now.

He could only mark the things he was interested in and see if there were any remaining contribution points to exchange for them later. Now he had other things to do.

Three days later.

Bai Quan came to Chen Ming as usual.

However, today was the day he informed Chen Ming in advance that he was going somewhere else.

Bai Quan pushed open the door of Chen Ming's room as before, and saw Chen Ming who was ready to leave at any time.

"How are the preparations going?"

Chen Ming patted the briefcase beside him and said, "It's all in there. I also stuffed a copy of the synchrotron core log I gave you yesterday in there."

"I'm curious if Lou Wei dares to take the responsibility for wasting nearly a month's worth of scientific research by a psychic."

Bai Quan smiled and patted Chen Ming and said, "You want him to die."

"Okay, let's go and drive your boat."

Half an hour later.

Chen Ming and Bai Quan, along with several guards and Bai Quan's secretary, boarded the Stardust-class ship that Chen Ming had not driven for a long time.

When boarding the ship, Bai Quan repeated the process of their trip: "This time we have to go to a prosperous star field called Meteor, meet Lou Wei and others there, hand over the data in your hand, and then go to the location of the colony."

"Should we jump over directly or walk slowly?"

"Of course you go slowly. It doesn't cost money to maintain your warp. If you arrive early, you still have to wait for others. Why don't you let others wait for you?"

"That's fine."

Chen Ming quickly set the route and arranged other accompanying personnel.

Then he took Baiquan to his room on the Stardust level.

After using psychic power to separate a classroom and a study room, Chen Ming continued with today's class.

Even if you go out to do something, there are some things that you cannot stop doing.

The Stardust class was traveling alone in hyperspace, and it was expected to reach the prosperous star field that could be responsible for detecting the value of the data in three days.

However, only one third of the journey time had passed.

Only during the day of the next day, the sense of danger that had been dormant for a long time suddenly stung Chen Ming's brain.

The prosthesis located on the Stardust level is in danger.

Chen Ming's face changed, and he put down all the work on his body and focused all his attention on the prosthesis.

Bai Quan, who was teaching Chen Ming in the classroom at this time, noticed the change in Chen Ming's expression.

He was about to speak when he saw Chen Ming in front of him was instantly wrapped in a layer of nanosuit.

He was also without any explanation put on a layer of protective clothing that gave people a sense of security.

"What's going on?"

Chen Ming did not respond. He closed his eyes slightly and concentrated on sensing the source of the danger.

But for some reason the sense of danger this time did not point to a specific place.

It's not a threat that completely covers the entire Stardust, nor is it a threat that is too far away. It's just that there is no way to clearly perceive it.

The source of danger is changing, and it seems to exist in every corner.

Suddenly, a subtle fluctuation of psychic energy was suddenly noticed by Chen Ming.

"Psychic."

Chen Ming immediately moved closer to Bai Quan.

In front of a psychic, Baiquan, an ordinary person, is extremely vulnerable.

Only by being by his side could he find a way to protect Baiquan's safety.

Chen Ming immediately tried to use the spacecraft's three-dimensional imaging to locate the intruder, but there was no sign of any other human activity on the three-dimensional imaging.

And all the monitoring equipment on the spacecraft failed to find any trace of intruders.

Chen Ming could only release a large amount of spiritual energy fluctuations around his body, constantly trying to sense the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

But just before he found the intruder, he suddenly noticed that the overall temperature of the ship was rising and entropy was increasing.

"It's Hu Yi."

Chen Ming reminded Bai Quan again and reached for his waist with his other hand.

There was a purgatory core in the bag around his waist.

Right at this moment.

On the ceiling above Chen Ming's head, in the dark place that was not fully illuminated by the lighting equipment, an extremely dark hand wrapped in black mist was slowly reaching out.

The hand held a long sword emitting spiritual energy and swung it fiercely towards Chen Ming's neck.
