Chapter 818: Cost

Psionic energy can make up for the fatal shortcomings of the hive's difficulty in communication and the hive's inability to deal with transcendents.

Psychic Warlocks can send one-way, long-range telepathic messages to a single target.

At the same time, it can also give instructions to all mental units in a large area.

At the same time, the psionic warlock also has a large number of combat skills, such as distorting reality, summoning biological electricity, fire, shockwaves, hypnosis, seduction...

Large-scale low-level psionic warlocks gather together to collectively release psychic shocks, which can even cause serious damage to high-intensity targets.

For players with high mobility, defense, and attack power, there are also countermeasures.

All things considered, psionic energy is almost the most suitable auxiliary evolution route for hives in addition to flesh and blood evolution.

After thinking about it for a while, Leon had already confirmed that he would buy this [Psychic Ability Handbook Crystallization - Elementary], and the only problem was the cost...

"The price of the Psionic Handbook is fifteen thousand in-game credits. I now have 96,000 in savings, which I can afford.

However, the conditions for the use of this 'Sacrifice Three Perfection-level Transcendent Items' are more troublesome. ”

Li Ang frowned slightly, and said silently: "The auction house has a serious premium,

The selling price of the game store has always been higher than that of transactions between players.

If you spend your own money to buy it, you will lose a lot of money. ”

So far, there are several perfection-level items on Leon's body:

Divine Sign, Mirage Red Mane, Minor Master Orb, Alchemist's Box, Creature Master, Abyss Mirror, Fountain of Divine Praise*4, Evil God Figure Clay, Ten Fingers Dissociation.

Of these, only the Ten Finger Dissociation Technique is a perfect-level skill - maybe with the addition of Alchemy.

Most of the rest are equipment props, and they are also equipment props of the logistics department, and abandoning any of them will have a serious impact on Li Ang's overall strength.

Thinking about it, it seems that there is only that thing that can be sold.

【Sacred Praise Spring】

Perfect-level consumables, the special effect is to heal and repair items and lives that do not exceed the quality of the Divine Praise Spring Water, and restore them to a normal intact state.

It is equivalent to a life potion that can be used on people and objects.

This prop was obtained by Li Ang from the script task of distorting fairy tales, there were 5 bottles at that time, and one bottle was secretly given to Wang Congshan, so that she would not be more affected by the abnormal events of King Shengnan.

There are currently four bottles left.

"The [Sacred Praise Water] can heal injuries and save lives, and it can also repair well-made, rare-level equipment and props, turning them from broken to complete."

Leon thought, "But I have the creature master, the swamp power, and the mirage red mane, and I don't lack the ability to save my life and heal.

If you want to repair your equipment,

The funds provided by the Innocent Forge Shop every day are enough for me to buy a high-level weapon, which is not very short.

The Psychic Handbook is conditional on three Perfection-level transcendent items, not three Perfection-level items—the Holy Praise Fountain to be taken apart and sacrificed, and maybe it will work, in which case I will have a bottle left.

If you can't take it apart and sacrifice it, you'll have to spend the remaining in-game currency in your inventory, lose some extra money, and buy some relatively cheap Perfect-level equipment..."

After making up his mind, Leon took a deep breath and clicked to buy the Psychic Abilities Manual.

The currency in the player's panel dropped in an instant, and correspondingly, a heavy book made of crystal appeared in the inventory slot.

Leon took out the book and gently rubbed the surface of the book.

The book is slightly lighter than expected, the cover of the book is smooth to the touch, not as cold and stiff as expected, and there is an exotic line of text written in the title, which is not clear what it means.

On the outside of the book, a sturdy metal chain is wrapped around it, and you can't move the chain even if you tear it hard.

All the chains end up in a very intricately crafted metal lock located below the title.

There is no keyhole underneath the lock, and instead there are three fusiform crystals arranged in equilateral triangles - this means that the lock will not open until the three perfection-level transcendent items have been sacrificed.

It is not easy to act in the game store, Li Ang boarded out of the square, returned to the real world, and entered the automated pet breeding box with Chai Chai.

Compared to before, the environment inside the terrarium is very different.

The thick trunks of several people hugging each other everywhere changed from pure wood to wood mixed with a large amount of high-strength reinforced concrete (reinforced concrete, which Leon bought from a mule).

Like load-bearing columns, it supports the weight of the trees and raises the height of the trees from more than 100 meters to nearly 400 meters, which is not inferior to the skyscrapers built by modern humans.

The canopy of these trees grows horizontally, allowing the thick woody branches to connect with each other.

In the middle of the wooden branches, a composite silk thread made of worker insects is woven - this biomaterial was developed by brain worms, and the elastic modulus, strength, strain and toughness and other data have reached a relatively perfect balance and can be used as a building material.

It is mainly produced by specialized organs - there are many such "buildings" in the hive factory, which are themselves alienated organs, and have no ability to think, survive or reproduce.

It all depends on the hive factory to provide nutrients and the maintenance of the hive workers.

It's not a complete life.

The wooden branches and composite silk threads are woven into a three-dimensional net suspended in the air, occupying a large area of the automated pet breeding box.

Only in some places is it deliberately hollowed out to allow sunlight to reach the lower floors.

There are several sides to such a large net. Above each large net is covered with building materials with excellent compressive and tensile strength, as well as a fungus blanket that absorbs light to produce biomass.

The two form the pavement of the high-altitude network.

Smaller insects crawl quickly on the road surface, bringing the concentrated biomass balls produced by the fungus blanket into the hive factories on each floor.

The brainworms in the hive factory plan the distribution of biomass and energy to produce more workers, soldiers, or buildings.

Previously, the Zerg in the terrarium only moved on the surface, and the space utilization efficiency was low.

Now that there is an aerial hive, there are more units that can be accommodated, so far there are one hundred and fifty-one brain worms, and there are about two million Zerg units of various levels - most of them are small worker insects.

After all, the size of the automated pet terrium is limited, and it cannot be compared with the vast ocean.

The breeding box can be brought by Leon, so its main significance is to move the hive base, and the logistics production capacity is definitely more important than the real-time combat capability.

Once a suitable area is found, the hive will be fully rolled out and will not expand slower than the marine hive.
