Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 327 Spiritual Dam

"As for the other exchanges... Zhan Lan will use the two B-level side quests she obtained from this horror movie to exchange for a mental power skill," Mu Xiang said, pushing up his glasses.

Because of Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan doesn't need to exchange for skills like Mind Control or Mental Whip. Zhang Jie's own methods are even more advanced, so Zhan Lan can invest more reward points and side quests into enhancing the Celestial Spirit series and other support skills.

“Double B-level exchange, Mental Dam… This involves implanting a special device into the brain, which then absorbs mental energy and integrates it into the body. The device itself is more like a trigger; its true function lies in the subsequent fusion with mental energy. Because everyone's mental energy is different, the effects after fusion vary greatly, but for the mental energy controller, it can at least achieve 70% of its potential,” Mu Xiang explained.

Zheng Zha asked curiously, "You mean the exchange limit is very high and the lower limit is very low? What if it's for an ordinary person to exchange?"

“Mental power controllers may not be fully compatible, but non-mental power controllers… are almost impossible to be compatible with. Generally speaking, after exchanging, they can only achieve about 10% of the effect. If it were someone like you or me at the fourth level, perhaps we could achieve 30%?” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses.

Looking at Zhan Lan within the pillar of light, Zheng Zha scratched his head: "But didn't you say during dinner that the effect of the Mental Dam is to improve the efficiency of sharing mental power? But is this effect really subject to such great limitations?"

Zhang Jie chuckled: "That's not how it works... In fact, the method we currently use to share mental power is the Mind Chain. For example, Zhan Lan and Qi Tengyi's sharing is like that. One is a mental power controller with the Mind Chain, and the other has strengthened his Bloodline of the Ghoul Clan, so at first glance, sharing mental power seems easy."

"But in reality, unless Qi Tengyi uses his Ghost Clan talent to directly devour Zhan Lan's spiritual power, there's still a lot of room for improvement in the efficiency of the sharing process. Compared to the dedicated sharing skill provided by the Main God, the Mind Chain is still somewhat inferior." Zhang Jie shrugged. "Even if I help them, it's just a case of brute force causing a brick to fly; I don't care about this waste anyway."

Mu Xiang nodded: "That's right. For example, there is a mental energy sharing skill that can combine the mental energy pools of two mental energy controllers, and also has an amplification effect. This is a typical case of one plus one being greater than two... However, we don't need this. There is another reason for choosing the Mental Dam."

"Does this name have another meaning?" Liu Xi said calmly. "It's hard not to associate it with the function of a dam."

“Storing water, releasing water, raising the water level, regulating the flow... Power generation and shipping can be temporarily set aside, and silt can also be deposited in the process.” Mu Xiang casually recited the geographical knowledge points, and then couldn’t help but smile to himself, “That’s right, the mental dam can not only store its own excess mental energy, but also contain the mental energy of others. At critical moments, the stored mental energy can be released again.”

Zheng Zha pondered for a moment: "Other people's spiritual power... from what you're saying, it seems like it doesn't matter whether it's friend or foe?"

“Yes, although containing the enemy’s mental energy will be somewhat difficult, the mental dam itself can also resist some mental energy attacks. Zhan Lan’s mental energy pool will be greatly expanded. At the same time, as mental energy flows through the mental dam, the bad parts will also be deposited, whether they are aggressive or negative… This can be combined with her purifying psionic energy.” Mu Xiang smiled.

Zhang Jie smoked a cigarette, looking at Zhan Lan's increasingly shiny head: "This little girl isn't even bald yet and she's already this shiny... That's right, those deposited parts can be repaired by the main god. If it's a horror movie where she urgently needs to expel them, then leave it to me."

“According to you, there are many restrictions on this exchange… It’s a bit too extravagant to have a fourth-tier expert to handle it,” Liu Xi said, looking at Zhan Lan.

Mu Xiang nodded: "Yes, so this exchange isn't suitable for ordinary teams... I dare say no mental power controller in the Main God Space exchanges for this before they have all the necessary equipment. But here, its limitations can be overcome." As the group talked, Zhan Lan's enhancement was completed. The light emanating from her head gradually faded, and the Main God's pillar of light also dissipated.

When Zhan Lan opened her eyes, a strange light shone from them.

"The mental dam is merging with my mental power... Hmm, it feels pretty good." Zhan Lan smiled, touching her forehead. This time, touching her forehead wasn't entirely out of habit. After the enhancement, she always felt her forehead was a little hot.

"As for strengthening the spirit puppets, we'll talk about that after everyone has finished strengthening them. After all, we need to prevent wasting exchange attempts in case of special circumstances." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "We can also use Qi Tengyi's two B-level side quests, because the Thousand Words Dictionary must be fully manifested to advance to the A-level Ten Thousand Words Dictionary... Even a team like ours with a surplus of reward points hasn't been able to fill the 100,000 reward point gap for Qi Tengyi yet."

Upon hearing this, Qi Teng scratched his head and smiled. He wasn't in a hurry... In fact, something that Mu Xiang cared about quite a bit had already appeared in the Thousand Words Dictionary.

“But since the main god has already certified it, it means that ‘Halloween’ is safe, better than ‘Final Destination 2’… Zhang Jie, save some reward points, and when the time comes, you, Zhan Lan, and Qi Teng will rewatch a horror movie together. That way, the price of manifested words will drop to ten points each, and that long period of time will be the time for the three of you to work together.” Mu Xiang looked at Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie chuckled: "No problem, no problem, I'll definitely give them a good workout..."

Zhan Lan and Qi Tengyi both looked a little strained. They had trained with Zhang Jie before... It was more like special training than getting used to each other.

"First there was Chu Xuan, then Zhang Jie... Working with mental abilities in the Zhongzhou team must be quite an exciting life," Zheng Zha whispered to Mu Xiang.

Liu Xi stepped forward: "Then I will exchange for the Three-Eyed Clan bloodline you mentioned... The bloodline that improves thinking speed and calculation ability is indeed what I need."

“A luxurious bloodline starting from Grade B is indeed suitable for you.” Mu Xiang shrugged. “You can exchange for a basic bloodline yourself first, and then wait for the others to help you get an intermediate Three-Eyed Clan bloodline. At that point, you will have telekinesis and be able to cooperate more with Zhang Jie. As for the quantum brain, I will exchange it for you.”

Zhang Jie took a drag of his cigarette: "You still need a telekinetic controller, right? I'll get one for you too... Heh, I wonder what kind of tricks this thing can be used for."

As he spoke, a red trident engraved with countless three-eyed symbols and unknown runes appeared in the pillar of light cast by the chief god.
