At the dining table, the gurgling hotpot was boiling. Five people were sitting around the table, eating slices of meat and vegetables to go with their wine.

Bain ate the most enthusiastically, because Carl had just told him the effect of the soup base, so he was now eating the soup and meat with great concentration.

Carl was discussing those strange patterns with Shadow and Scorpion at this time, and warned them that they might need to do another experiment recently.

These words made Scorpion very excited, and he served Bain a lot of soup.

However, Carl's so-called experiment might not be as comfortable as she thought, because Carl wanted to test what kind of impact the second segment of the pattern alone would have on people with psychic powers.

As for the third part that stimulates desire, he currently only plans to try it on Ying and himself.

"If the experiment is successful, then I probably know why those guys are so keen on those things. It's not just because of the physical sensation, the rapid growth of psychic energy is actually a reason."

Originally, Scorpion thought that those of her kind were just greedy for pleasure, but now it seems that she may have underestimated them.

"By the way, when did the use of psychic powers become popular among you drow elves? I remember that you seemed to believe in totem spirits before."

Suddenly, Carl asked this question.

However, he had actually asked Ying this question before, but Ying was too young to know much.

Across the table, Scorpion thought for a moment, then compared it with the historical process of humans and said:

“It’s impossible to verify the exact time, but we probably started practicing psychic energy on a large scale when your Final War broke out.

During that time, the totem spirits of some small tribes began to die. In order to gain additional power to fight against the remaining tribes, many tribes began to try to cultivate psychic powers.

But in fact, this is nothing more than a slow death. It is very difficult to cultivate spiritual power to a high level!"

Hearing this, Carl nodded with empathy.

"Let's schedule the experiment for three days from now. Take a good rest during this time. I don't know if this non-predatory psychic energy enhancement will have any side effects on us, but we still have to be careful."

After explaining this to Ying and Xie, Carl stopped talking and started eating in peace.

After dinner, the five of them returned to their rooms to rest and recuperate.

…

After resting well for a day, Carl couldn't stand the loneliness in the morning of the next day, so he ran to the second floor of the base to study the patterns.

He first used a lathe to replicate the pattern that could enhance psychic power, and then micro-carved the pattern that stimulated desire onto a small pendant.

At first, neither of these two patterns had any effect on Carl.

This made Carl doubt for a moment whether he had drawn it wrong.

But after carefully comparing the pattern in his memory, Carl still had no clue.

After much deliberation, Carl finally tried it with his psychic power.

It would have been fine if he hadn't tried it. After trying it, Carl suddenly felt that his spiritual energy began to grow rapidly at the cost of absorbing his own vitality.

If V, who was in tune with Carl's thoughts, had not knocked down the metal plate with the pattern on it in time, Carl might have become the same as those mummies.

But maybe he felt good before he died, but Carl didn't enjoy it at all.

But as soon as he broke away, Carl realized something was wrong.

"That shouldn't be the case. This effect only seems to work on the affected people. So the ones who turned into mummies should be the drow. How did it become the adventurers? How did they pass the price on to them? By the third pattern? No! That is a pattern that simply stimulates desire... It can't be the first one, right? Can that mysterious prayer do this?"

Although he tried it himself for research purposes, Carl found that his doubts increased as his research progressed.

After instructing V to destroy the metal plate, Carl left the second floor with a sad face.

But it was early morning, the time for Ying to do morning exercises.

The two sides bumped into each other on the stairs.

"Tsk! Who taught you this move? A rogue and monk bumping into someone in a place like this, do you think it's justifiable with your skills?"

"Yes, it was Scorpion. She said that if a girl shows a little clumsiness, she can be more lovable. But don't worry, I will definitely not do such a thing in battle."

She turned her head away shyly, and betrayed Scorpion who was giving her advice in a very low voice.

Carl's eyebrows jumped when he heard these words, and then he slapped Ying's face according to her curves.

"Don't be so deceitful in the future. Really, what if you get used to pretending? I'm not such a superficial person. Just stay true to your original character."

After crumpling Ying's purple hair into a ball, Carl released his hand that was holding Ying down and slapped her back again.

No wonder some people like to pat people on the butt, it really feels good.

Nodding with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, Ying raised his head and found V who was re-melting the metal plate.

"Have you ever done any experiments yourself?"

Based on his understanding of Carl, Ying immediately guessed why Carl appeared here so early.

Scratching his chin in embarrassment, Karl turned around and was about to leave.

But before he took a few steps, Karl was frozen in place by Ying's words.

"I'm going to tell Hope!"

Turning back, Ying was looking at Carl with a determined face, like a hero ready to sacrifice himself.

According to the normal plot development, Carl should beg softly, and then Shadow would take down the metal plate to threaten Carl, knock him to the ground, and make him his toy from then on.

But who is Carl?

Just as Ying was about to say, "Carl, you don't want to...", Carl quickly reached into his arms with his right hand, and the miniature metal plate that could stimulate people's inner desires immediately appeared in his hand.

As the spiritual energy was injected into this thing, a primitive desire instantly surged in Carl's chest.

Ying subconsciously looked at what was in Carl's hand, and as a result, his mind was also affected by this evil thing.

Her legs went soft, and she actually fell directly into Karl’s arms.

Carl caught Ying and carried him directly back to his and Hope's room.

V stayed on the second floor to destroy the metal plate.

Breakfast was temporarily cancelled that day, and it was not until noon that Karl and the other two came out of the bedroom.

At this time, the metal plate had completely turned into a metal ingot.

Karl was not afraid that Ying would talk nonsense about this matter because he had already given Ying enough "hush money".

Three days passed in a flash, and finally, it was time to officially start the experiment.

Carl grouped himself with Shadow, and Scorpion with Bane.

Both parties tried the effects in their respective rooms, while Hope remained alert to prevent any accidents.

This time, Carl used the original pattern and did not dare to modify it without permission.

The result was somewhat beyond Carl's expectations.

Because after adding the pattern from the first section back in, the group of Scorpion and Bane perfectly replicated the original effect.

When Bane came out of the room, his body fat percentage had dropped by at least two percent.

Carl's situation was even more amazing, because part of his and Ying's vitality was transformed into each other's psychic energy.

In other words, this thing is applicable to both men and women, as long as they have psychic powers.
