He Gu spoke in a serious tone.

In his opinion, Chen Ming is a member of the psychic society.

However, psychics who come out of the psychic society's education model are different from those who come out of the empire's normal education methods.

When it comes to some things, the psychics of the psychic society particularly like to try them out themselves, experience matters related to psychic powers themselves, and then summarize their experiences.

Only those who have tried it themselves can make a final conclusion.

Although psychics trained in this way do surpass psychics who receive ordinary education in some abilities.

Even after these psychics have reached a bottleneck in their ability development and started to learn systematic psychic knowledge, it is relatively easy for them to surpass psychics who have started systematic learning from the beginning in all aspects.

After all, those who can find their own way in such an environment are people with certain talents, and they can often modify their own growth path to suit themselves best.

but.

When such psychics encounter some unknown things, they often have some suicidal thoughts like "let me see what's going on".

Although these people are smart, they will prepare some backup plans before they commit suicide.

But not all back-up plans will work, and not all troubles can be easily dealt with.

The Psychic Rampage Entity is one of them.

So even though Chen Ming said he had encountered this before, He Gu felt he still had to give him a serious warning.

If anything happened to Chen Ming, it would be a heavy loss to the 14th Corps.

But when he thought of this, He Gu suddenly realized something.

Chen Ming should be in the branch of the Fourteenth Legion now. Where did he encounter the psychopathic entity?

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of an answer. He felt that even if he asked Chen Ming this question, he wouldn't tell him, and if he did, it would be a lie, so he simply didn't ask.

He just repeated what he had just said, hoping that Chen Ming would listen and not make it a habit.

After he finished speaking, Chen Ming of course agreed.

Anyway, he always gets psychic warnings before doing anything.

He would definitely not do anything that is truly dangerous, not to mention that he now has a fake body.

Why would he do something that the fake body could do himself? Chen Ming did not show any suspicion of seeking death, and asked casually, "Is there anything else that this mentally rampaging entity can say?"

He Gu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are two little-known facts that many people don't know."

"This psychotic entity can only be transformed by humans. Ordinary creatures will not be affected even if they carry several psychic materials of different natures."

"Because psychic creatures don't have spiritual nerves, their own spiritual nature is the nature that occupies the most important part of their body. External existence cannot affect it at all, and there will be no situation where different spiritual natures actively fight in the body."

"Another piece of knowledge is that when a psychic has multiple psychic qualities that are attacking each other, the psychic is basically dead."

"However, the remaining active psychic properties will still evolve into different psychic rampage entities based on the original psychic's situation."

"According to the records we have, the appearance of the psychotic entity will show different manifestations depending on a person's long-term obsession, the major trauma they have experienced, or the self-awareness in their subconscious mind."

Chen Ming's mind started working immediately.

According to He Gu, the style of the totem pole may represent the psychic's simple belief in the left path?

Those arms might also be related to the psychic's obsession or the injuries he suffered? But the Aetherial psychic is dead, and there is no way to confirm it now, so there is nothing to say.

Chen Ming suddenly thought of a problem.

Does the boss know these two little-known facts?

If the boss knew that the Psychic Rampage entity can only be transformed by humans.

Even if the boss knew that his afterglow was distributed in various places, it seemed that he couldn't help him explain where the psychic outside the empire turned into a psychopathic entity and happened to be encountered by him. Coincidentally, Chen Ming and his armed forces eliminated the psychopathic entity there and sent the spiritual stone back...

Uh... forget it, it’s okay. It’s been exposed by the boss, so it’s not a big deal.

Ended the conversation with He Gu on the entity of mental rampage.

Chen Ming immediately reviewed all the relevant points in his mind and wrote them down, thinking they might be useful in the future.

However, he did not hang up the phone in a hurry. He planned to take this opportunity to communicate with He Gu to ask some questions about the internal affairs of the 14th Legion.

For example, something he had paid more attention to before.

"Can the contribution points of psychics be traded?"

As a member of the Psychic Research Institute, He Gu was very familiar with the psychics of the Fourteenth Legion, and immediately gave Chen Ming a positive answer: "Yes."

"In fact, it was originally not allowed, but not allowing trading is nothing more than adding an extra step of bartering when psychics conduct private transactions, so this rule was deleted."

"Anyway, contribution points are basically earned by doing things. It's up to the psychic to share the contribution points he earns from doing things."

After Chen Ming confirmed that contribution points could be traded, he immediately asked, "Then is the Legion Psychic Research Institute purely supported by the Legion, or is it an independent department? Who determines the contribution points of psychics?"

As someone who really wanted to invite Chen Ming to join the Psychic Research Institute, He Gu naturally would not be stingy with his time when Chen Ming wanted to learn more about the rules of the 14th Legion psychics.

He went on to explain: "Each organization's Psychic Research Institute is an independent department, but it usually receives the most support from the organization. You should know the reason very well."

"Then the contribution points will all be distributed by the Corps. The people below, even the research institutes, can only help report achievements that can earn contribution points. For example, the two research projects you conducted before were reported by us, and the rewards will be issued soon."

"But most of the things that can be exchanged for contribution points are materials stored in the warehouse of our Psionic Research Institute. They have to be exchanged with us."

"These things belong to the Corps, not just the Institute. If the Institute wants to use them, they must be approved. They can't just take them casually."

Chen Ming roughly understood the operating principle of the psychic's contribution point mechanism. It can basically be said that it is a means for the legion to control the psychics under its command. Of course, the premise is that they cannot be traded.

The current situation where contribution points can be traded is a win-win situation that is acceptable to both psykers and legions.

"I see. Will the Legion collect some extra stuff from other places?"

He Gu responded: "Yes, the military supply depot often doesn't have everything, and many things have to be found by people. Acquisition is an easy way."

"Like I just told you, our lab needs the things left behind by the psychopathic entity. If we want to buy them from you, it depends on whether you want to trade or choose contribution points directly."

"So do you want to trade contribution points or buy something?"

"Um."

Chen Ming responded and said in detail: "I have something that should be quite valuable that I want to sell in exchange for something I need."

"What do you want to sell?"

"A set of power armor made of pure psychic material metal, material of the same nature."

He Gu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked uncertainly: "What do you want to sell?"

"A set of power armor. Most of the metal on it is psychic metal, and the properties are the same."

He Gu on the other end of the phone did not take Chen Ming's words as a lie, but seriously considered the size of common power armor and how much metal material is needed to manufacture such a life-long power armor.

Then he said to Chen Ming: "Wait a moment."

Put down the terminal temporarily.

He must have gone to discuss it with someone.

After all, such a set of power armor is really valuable, and many psychics may not even be able to afford a decent, or even an undecent psychic weapon.

Therefore, a set of power armor like this could only be produced by psychic research with official funding from the 14th Legion.

A few minutes later, He Gu picked up the terminal again and asked Chen Ming, "Are you sure it's the same material?"

"right."

After all, they were all dug out from Yan Xiong, so how could they not be of the same nature?

"To be honest, we are quite interested in your thing."

However, He Gu's intention was not towards the power armor, but towards the large piece of psychic material of the same nature that was used to make the power armor.

Psychic materials have never been common and their properties are varied.

Even though the properties of many materials appear similar, there are only slight differences.

But as the overall number increases, this difference will become obvious and cannot be directly applied to some large equipment for single use.

Therefore, large volumes of pure psychic materials of the same nature that can be used to make a set of power armor can be said to be extremely rare.

It's still surprising that Chen Ming could get something like this.

He Gu casually guessed that it should be a product of the ruins of another civilization obtained by Chen Ming's outward-expanding Yuhui Fleet, or perhaps it was found by Chen Ming in the Yuhui star field.

Of course, it is also possible that Chen Ming really dug up a mineral vein, and then directly made this psychic ore into power armor.

If you think in this way, then the psychopathic entities may also be caused by psychics who have a very small chance of existing in Afterglow's territory.

He Gu thought of a reasonable explanation, so he stopped dwelling on it and asked the question he needed to know the most: "Has the psychic material been made into power armor?"

"Yes."

After his boss reminded Chen Ming of Yan Xiong's purpose, he asked Chaofan to help him make a set, intending to wear it for his original body.

However, Chen Ming's real body is now with Huihuang Chaofan and the others on the road of exploration. He is well protected and has never encountered any danger.

In addition, my boss once reminded me not to wear multiple psychic equipment of different natures at the same time.

Also, although the effect of power armor is indeed very good, it far exceeds the spirit stone and psionic weapons in increasing mental strength and psychic energy.

But it is also very uncomfortable to wear power armor every day. Chen Ming would rather get a lower bonus from the psychic equipment, so the power armor is currently in a state of being useless.

Wait a moment.

Chen Ming suddenly pounded the table subconsciously, and his thoughts just now rolled back to the previous sentence.

What he meant was not that the power armor was uncomfortable to wear, but the external amplification he obtained from it.

Chen Ming now has four spirit stones on hand, the Whisper, Fear, Infatuation, and the Words of Madness spirit stone that he brought to his fake body in the Fourteenth Legion.

The crazy spiritual stone on the fake body was embedded in a psychic revolver with a neutral nature.

As for the nature of his psychic powers, although he himself is not quite clear about it, judging from the fact that he vomited blood when the totem pole absorbed his psychic fluctuations, it does not seem like his psychic powers are of a neutral nature.

These three psychic energies of different natures were mixed together, but nothing went wrong like what happened to the void psychic?

Even if this is because of the fake body, then in the past, Chen Ming could have carried these things personally.

Moreover, Chen Ming embedded the spiritual stone into the weapon using a method that his boss had specifically told him about before.

This is a neutral weapon with an extremely negative spiritual stone. Doesn't this conflict with the psychic not carrying too many psychic equipment of different properties? Chen Ming was used to this before, so he didn't pay attention.

But now I suddenly think of it and look back...isn't this nonsense?

The boss would definitely not harm him, could it be that there is something he doesn't understand?

Was it because he himself was able to resist the influence of the three kinds of psychic energy? Or was it because of the special nature of the resonant psychic stone? Or was it because of the special nature of the weapon?

Or... is he special? On the other side, He Gu heard Chen Ming suddenly pounding the table and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something."

"Can the effect of a spiritual weapon be enhanced by embedding spiritual stones in it?"

He Gu understood what Chen Ming meant and said, "That's right. You probably want to ask if this violates the principle of not carrying multiple psychic equipment of different natures?"

"Um."

"You don't have to worry about this, because when spiritual weapons are inlaid with spiritual stones, they usually choose spiritual stones that have good compatibility with psychics, or spiritual stones with similar properties to the effects of psychic weapons."

"Even if psychic weapons are incompatible with psychics for some reason, in the end, one person will only have two very different psychic traits."

"I just told you that a psychopathic entity needs to have at least three different properties."

"So this situation does not quite meet the conditions for the emergence of a mind-wandering entity."

"Although there is still a certain risk of the psychic going berserk due to slight deviations in properties, it is much better to have the properties of the three places be different."

"However, the probability that the properties of a psychic, a psychic weapon, and the psychic stone embedded in a psychic weapon are all different is too low, and generally no one would do this. If someone does this, we will remind them."

"So don't worry."

“…”

In Chen Ming's silence, He Gu continued, "Under normal circumstances, the spiritual energy fluctuations of the spiritual stone will not conflict with the things in the body of the psychic."

"Most cases of triggering psychokinetic entities are psychic equipment of different natures rather than spiritual stones. Spiritual stones are very special and the probability of triggering them is so small that it can be ignored."

Although He Gu said so, Chen Ming had just seen a guy who turned into a mentally deranged entity because of the spiritual stone.

Oh, no, it seems that it really isn’t because of the spiritual stone.

It is very likely that the void psyker was cooperating with the Mind Beast Project being studied in Zuojing Laboratory, which led to him having too much contact with Mind Beasts with obsessive traits.

The expansion desire of the Mind Beast is still very strong, and it does affect the people around it, so the psychic fluctuations on the totem pole are not the psychic fluctuations of the spirit stone, but the psychic fluctuations of the Mind Beast.

This just explains why Chen Ming found the Obsessed Ecstasy Stone on the Mind Beast instead of on the totem pole.

But this still did not answer the question of why the three absolutely different spiritual energy fluctuations did not cause his mind to go berserk when they existed in Chen Ming himself. Was it luck? Chen Ming was not good at discussing this question about the nature of spiritual energy with He Gu, whom he had not known for too long.

Still worried, he immediately sent a message to his boss to ask.

The boss's response was to reassure Chen Ming.

According to the boss, the psychic material used in the "Ming" given by Baiquan has a very neutral quality, which is neutral.

Although the strength of this kind of spiritual material with neutral characteristics is not high, it is the most adaptable and adaptable material among almost all spiritual materials.

This was not written on the certificate given by Bai Quan. Chen Ming only knew that this was a relatively neutral material and had always thought it was relatively inferior.

But come to think of it, there's no way Baiquan would really give him a piece of trash.

Before, the boss only knew that Chen Ming had two spiritual stones of similar properties, and spiritual stones were not easy to obtain, so he only asked Chen Ming to try to inlay them.

In addition, the Whisper of Madness is a spiritual stone that evolved from the Whisper. It can be said that they are spiritual stones of the same origin and there will be no conflict at all.

So he didn't say anything about the mentally rampaging entity later.

That should be fine.

Chen Ming felt that it was probably the special material properties of the weapon and its ability to contain things that prevented it from causing the mind to go berserk.

If it really causes a mind runaway, a danger warning should be given when he acquires the next new psychic trait.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming finally felt relieved.

But he still felt something was wrong, as if he had overlooked something.

But what he ignored didn't seem to have any impact, and there was no sense of danger.

Chen Ming didn't think about it for the moment and didn't think about it any further.

He continued to talk to He Gu about the previous topic, the sale of power armor.

The power armor in his hand is of no use for the time being, and Yan Xiong can still continue to produce psychic metal, so he plans to sell this set first and make a new one when needed in the future.

So, after Chen Ming brought the topic back, he continued to sell: "If you need it, I can dismantle the power armor and make it what you need. My psychic effect can be directly restored to ensure that there will be no impact, just like a piece of psychic metal that just came out of a smelting furnace."

He Gu was obviously also very interested in this thing. Chen Ming said that he could help deal with the materials, so he didn't pretend and said directly: "That's great, in this case...what do you want?"

Chen Ming decisively gave his request: "Awaken the Spiritual Nerves."

"Are you interested in this thing? For your own use? I heard that you have absorbed several of them. Try to be careful. Many cases have proven that rashly absorbing the spiritual awakening nerve is likely to cause problems with mental strength."

"I know, that's why I need it."

He Gu had heard about Chen Mingsheng's deeds of gnawing on the Qiling nerve from others before, so he didn't say more: "If you have confidence, there will be no problem. How many do you need?"

"That depends on how many pieces of power armor I can replace."

"good."

He Gu said, glanced at the message sent by the director on the terminal, and then said to Chen Ming: "We can give you two spiritual awakening nerves."

Chen Ming bargained: "Two... it feels a bit too little."

"Then we can also give you some extra supplies below 5,000 contribution points. What else do you need?"

Giving an additional 5,000 contribution points was almost at Chen Ming's bottom line, so he decided to quit while he was ahead. He thought about what he had seen on the website before and said, "I've seen something that seems to be able to detect the nature of a psychic's psychic energy, right? That thing doesn't seem to be cheap."

"The disposable testers sold to the public are not cheap, but if you come to the institute to get a physical examination, it's free."

"Let's forget about the physical examination."

Chen Mingwan rejected the idea of ​​a physical examination. It would be very funny if the physical examination revealed that there were no spiritual nerves in the prosthesis's brain.

"Just this disposable equipment plus the remaining 3,000 contribution points will be enough."

"OK."

He Gu didn't waste any words and immediately agreed: "I will bring the Qi Ling Nerve and the equipment to the branch to find you in person."

With the end of the communication.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Ming once again arrived at the next scheduled supply point.

Although the supplies have not been consumed yet, it is definitely impossible to wait until the supplies are exhausted before replenishing them.

Moreover, by doing so he could, to a certain extent, disrupt the possibility for those who were tracking him to speculate on his whereabouts based on the amount of supplies he purchased.

This time, Chen Ming also arrived at a comprehensive colony.

However, the scale is smaller than before and it does not have the features of a garden planet like that.

It is just an ordinary colony in a prosperous star field.

This time after arriving at the port, Chen Ming asked the maintenance shop to inspect the spacecraft and replenish supplies as he did last time.

After paying the deposit and walking out of the port.

Chen Ming suddenly discovered from a roadside billboard that this colony seemed to have some characteristics.

In the ocean of this planet, there lives an extremely delicious, large, starfish-like creature with multiple irregular tentacles.

Since the meat of this starfish is extremely perishable and difficult to preserve, it is usually sold in cans. Only local people can enjoy the freshest starfish.

Chen Ming had seen it in some advertisements before, and now he happened to see it again, so he simply ran to a local restaurant, booked a private room, and ordered some dishes.

Just like a normal person, I was swiping the terminal and waiting for the food to be served.

However, while waiting.

Chen Ming suddenly stood up, raised his fist and swung it behind him, creating a wind pressure that was strong enough to cut the skin.

But this punch only dispersed some of the black mist.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the black mist floating nearby: "Do you really want to fight in a place like this?"

"It's a busy downtown area outside."
