Chapter 102, Mind Manipulation
When Grit found Gu Hang, she looked very serious, and her usual gentle smile was gone.
"We roughly know what those cult traitors want to do."
"What? Destroy the city and sacrifice it to the evil god?" Gu Hang tried to make a joke that was not so funny.
"Yes." Grit nodded seriously without any intention of joking, "Those cult traitors always like to do this. Those dirty creatures they believe in happen to like this."
"Okay, so what exactly are they going to do? Have they figured it out?"
Grit said, "Not yet. Two sisters are still investigating. However, we may have figured out the hiding place of the leader of the evil cult traitors."
"Oh?" Gu Hang's interest finally piqued. "Is it reliable?"
"It should be reliable, at least worth a try."
"Then let's try." Gu Hang made a prompt decision, "What support do you need? I'll arrange it as soon as possible. We'd better act immediately and not let anyone escape."
"I need you."
"ha?"
"An excellent psychic who can help us do many things."
Gu Hang quickly calculated in his mind.
He is indeed very busy now and cannot spare much time, but no matter what, there must be a priority. Those government affairs, if put aside, will not cause death, or not too many people will die; if the cult leader can be killed as soon as possible, many people will be saved.
Gu Hang had no qualms about personally participating in the battle.
Of course, relevant safety work must still be done well.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust the nuns, it’s just that the more power he has at hand, the better.
Phoenix can ask them to send four people to participate in the operation, leaving three outside the city. They should not reject this request.
In addition to the two people who are responsible for the personnel review of the food distribution points in the outer city, there will be nine people including Grit participating in the battle.
Including Gu Hang himself... this lineup is definitely enough.
However, after thinking about it, Gu Hang decided to take the elite Marines with him.
That team has now become his personal guard.
After recapturing Renaissance City and obtaining many gifts, he directly upgraded the remaining people to T3 level.
This is the limit of their promotion. Their equipment, basic physical quality, and combat experience are not enough to support them to be promoted to T2. Perhaps in the future, after more baptism of blood and fire, or with some special opportunities or technologies, their rating can be further improved.
But no matter what, the 28 T3 soldiers are the most elite force that Gu Hang can mobilize.
And he himself, according to Grit, is an outstanding psychic.
But he can definitely raise his rating immediately.
When the fighting outside the city subsided, Gu Hang found that he had enough experience and could level up.
With just 200 graces, he would become a psychic judged as level 4 in the system.
This level is also the level that Gu Hang calculated that he would be able to single-handedly fight a fully armed superhuman like a Space Marine.
After thinking this through in his mind, Gu Hang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
…
After seeing off Grit and sending a request to the Phoenix and receiving a reply, Gu Hang took advantage of the last bit of time before the team assembled to pay attention to two things.
First, I looked at the battle results.
[Win a bloody battle, get 65 points of gift]
[Loss 427, 742 eliminated, 121 captured]
[3rd Battalion of the Governor's Infantry Regiment: 89 killed, 266 destroyed]
[Captured troops: 338 lost, 337 eliminated]
[Phoenix Regiment (Allied Forces): Loss 0, Killed 139]
A bloody victory... This was the first time Gu Hang had played it. Obviously, the difference in strength between the two sides was not that big, but a victory with a relatively large loss on one side would result in a decrease in the bonus of the gift points.
Subtracting the gains from the phoenix, the remaining amount is only 65 points of grace.
The unorganized and temporarily pulled-in captive troops had poor weapons and equipment. Apart from some company-level heavy weapons, they were basically the same level of equipment as the armed thugs. The enemy also had the added bonus of brainwashed religious fanaticism. Although the captives had the political commissar to boost their morale, there was still a gap.
Even so, Gu Hang was not very satisfied with the 50-50 loss, as it showed that their military skills were indeed a bit poor.
Gu Hang has a headache.
He had thought before that since he was a regular soldier in the Alliance, it shouldn't be too bad if he couldn't reach T5, right? Could he save some grace points and just use them normally?
But looking at it now, it’s a bit too bad.
It seems that the follow-up is still important.
For seven thousand people, pulling them to T5 level is only a 70-point blessing. How heartbreaking!
After checking the battle results, the second thing Gu Hang had to do was to upgrade.
After receiving 200 points of grace, Gu Hang could feel a warm current, which represented an increase in his basic attributes.
At the same time, the talent selection interface appeared in his interface.
As usual, I clicked on the [Unique] line first, but as expected, I couldn’t click on it.
Then, without further ado, he clicked on "spirituality".
[Mind Manipulation: Allows you to infiltrate the target's mind, create illusions, tamper with memories, and forcibly manipulate them. At the same time, it strengthens your ability to resist mental methods. Spirituality +1]
Gu Hang was satisfied after acquiring a new talent.
Mental abilities are also what he has been looking forward to for a long time.
This type of method, like telekinesis control, is a standard method for many psychics and is also a very scary method.
Moreover, after acquiring the psychic talent of mind manipulation, the role it can play is not just limited to combat.
Of course, Gu Hang also warned himself in his heart that the relevant abilities should not be abused. The order he hoped to establish was definitely not an order based on mental control. He would not use this method on his own people.
But when necessary, this method can work wonders.
After the upgrade, its properties become as follows:
[Hero: Gu Hang (camp leader), LV4, insufficient experience to upgrade]
[Physique: 9, Spirituality: 18]
[Features: Psychic spellcaster, Governor of the Wrathful Owl Star]
[Talent: Body protection aura, telekinesis control, mind manipulation]
Not much was added to the attributes this time. Apart from a little spirituality gained from the talent [Mind Manipulation], the physical and spiritual attributes remained unchanged during the normal upgrade.
Of course, it wasn't that he really didn't move. In fact, he could feel that his physical fitness was improving, and so was his spirituality.
However, the increase did not reach the amount of one attribute point, so it was not reflected in his personal interface.
After all, the higher you go, the more difficult it will be to upgrade, requiring more experience accumulation and more gift points to invest. Similarly, the actual gap between each attribute point after upgrading will also become larger and larger.
