Lily's heart blossomed with joy.
After discovering that Little Yulia and Yulia's memories were not shared, and that Little Yulia was much purer than Yulia, she had planned to trick Little Yulia, and she hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
Little Yulia said, "But I don't have hands or feet now, so I can't write. I can only verbally tell you the techniques I know."
Lily waved her hand, "I'm already very grateful that you're willing to tell me; how could I dare ask for more."
Her heart was full of anticipation.
She hoped to use this psionic knowledge to complete the [Apprentice Psionic Painter] profession and [Psionic Knowledge Chain (7)]. However, it would be even better if she could learn Yulia's skills.
Whether it was controlling others, or creating false bodies, force fields, and psionic blasts, all were incredibly powerful skills.
Little Yulia was touched by Lily's words, "You really are a good person! Let me think, let's start with Psionic Perception..."
She began to explain.
As a psionic genius, Yulia was clearly not suited to be a teacher, because when she explained problems, she was like those top students explaining questions, often liking to use "obviously," "as is well known," and "thus it can be concluded" to transition or summarize.
Even with the game's built-in learning function, Lily still found it very difficult to understand.
Initially, the game prompts were like this—
[Little Yulia is teaching you xx. You have met the learning conditions. Current learning progress...]
But as time went on, the game prompts changed to—
[Your knowledge reserve is insufficient. You cannot understand her words. Learning has stalled.]
Although Yulia wasn't a very good lecturer, Lily still gained a lot after this class, which lasted an entire night and a morning.
She unlocked two new skills.
[Psionic Perception Lv1]: Consumes psionic energy to perceive the situation within a 10-meter radius. Consumes 2 psionic energy per second during duration.
[Super Energy Burst]: Consumes 50% of psionic energy and 20% of health to enter Super Energy Burst state, lasting 10 minutes. During duration, Strength +7, Agility +7, Spirit +5. Cooldown 24 hours. (Note: Cannot use this skill when psionic energy is below 50% or health is below 30%.)
One perception skill, one burst skill for emergencies.
She didn't learn those incredibly powerful skills because Lily discovered that these skills were Yulia's innate abilities. She didn't possess the [True Spirit Child] talent, and with her current knowledge reserve, she couldn't fully comprehend the principles behind these skills.
Besides the skills, her long-awaited knowledge chain and new profession were finally completed.
[You have unlocked the Psionic Knowledge Chain (7)]
After mastering the (2), (4), and (7) knowledge chains, her knowledge chain bonus became—
[All Psionic active skill effects +60%, Psionic Resistance +50%, Psionic Recovery Speed +2/minute. Psionic Affinity has been activated.]
The so-called Psionic Affinity is a new ability unlocked after mastering three knowledge chains.
Just as the 'Qi' of body cultivation players can strengthen themselves, the psionic energy mastered by psionic-style players can also provide a certain degree of attribute bonus.
Lily currently only has 225 Spirit Energy, which doesn't provide her with a high bonus; at most, it's only 2 points of Constitution and 1 point of Spirit. However, as her Spirit Energy continues to increase, the bonus attribute points will grow, and other types of bonuses may even appear, such as automatically generated shields.
Lily closed the knowledge chain explanation and focused on the new profession.
You have unlocked a new profession [Apprentice Psionic Painter]
Hint: [Apprentice Psionic Painter] is a superior replacement for [Spiritual Energy Prayer Master]. Do you wish to overwrite?
"Yes."
Profession Correction in progress (0%...2%...)
Spiritual Energy Prayer Master provides 1 point of Intelligence, 2 points of Inspiration, and 2 free attribute points per level, while Apprentice Psionic Painter provides one additional free attribute point per level.
After the correction, Lily gained 9 additional free attribute points and unlocked a new passive skill.
Primary Card Making Lv1 (0/1000): Efficiency and success rate of Prayer Card production +10%
Lily allocated 6 attribute points to Inspiration, raising her Inspiration to 45 points, then added the remaining 3 attribute points to Constitution.
Her attributes became—
HP: 1670 / 1670
Spirit Energy: 255 / 255
Attributes: Strength 18, Agility 19, Constitution 72, Intelligence 14, Spirit 22, Inspiration 45
In fact, the change in attributes was secondary. After unlocking Apprentice Psionic Painter, Lily's biggest change was that she could now use the Psionic knowledge she had mastered to synthesize Prayer Card blueprints. This allowed her to create more types of Prayer Cards, such as Flash Cards with effects similar to flashbangs, and Explosion Cards with effects similar to Ordinary grenades, rather than being limited to the skills she already possessed.
"Finally."
Lily was in a great mood.
This way, her combat style would become more versatile, and she would no longer have to rely on equipment made by the Mechanic as much as before.
Next, she needed to find a way to gain more experience to raise her profession level and Primary Card Making level. The remaining experience would still be used for card making.
Just as Lily was excited, Little Yulia's body suddenly trembled. This anomaly immediately caught Lily's attention.
"What's wrong with you?"
A shout echoed in the room.
"Lily!!!"
"Why are you shouting so loudly?"
"What do you mean? Lily, hahaha!"
Yulia was about to explode with anger. She never expected that just by being one day late in linking to the doll, Lily would trick the doll she left behind!
Oh, Lily, you even trick a doll. Are you even human?
Lily immediately understood: "You're Yulia!"
"What do you think?"
Yulia gnashed her teeth.
Lily had already tricked the desired Psionic knowledge from the doll. Now she was in a passive situation, blaming her own naivety before being captured by the Truth Society, and Lily's cunning.
"Lily, I'll take this loss, but I don't think you want those who follow you to know your true nature, do you? If not, then continue to cooperate with me and let me study your body!"
Heh.
Lily scoffed.
"Go ahead. Do you think they'll believe a doll of unknown origin like you, or will they believe me?"
Yulia was speechless.
Under the influence of powerful Psionic energy, the doll stood up directly.
Lily furiously rubbed the doll's head.
"Although I have already obtained the Psionic knowledge I wanted, our cooperation can still continue. Ultimately, your goal is to escape the control of the Truth Society, not to study me. I can help you achieve this wish, as long as you cooperate with me."
Yulia suppressed the anger in her heart: "How do you want to cooperate?"
Lily said: "You act as my inside agent, helping me collect intelligence on the Truth Society. I will eliminate the Truth Society, and once the Truth Society is eliminated, you will naturally regain your freedom."
Yulia said coldly: "How do you expect me to believe you have the ability to eliminate the Truth Society?"
"You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. How about we start by eliminating the Red Sand Wanderer Camp and giving Old Nissen a safe living environment? You should know what happened last night, right?"
