Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 31 The Big Shopping Spree (Part 2)

Qin Mu switched the General's Network page to the Mentalist module and examined it carefully.

The "Mental Master" module is not open to ordinary martial artists; only Mental Masters have the authority to enter.

Unlike the thousands of martial arts techniques available to martial artists, the training and secret methods for mental cultivators are pitifully few, numbering only a dozen or so.

Surprisingly, the top-ranked book wasn't one with an imposing title like "World Destruction" or "Nine-fold Thunder Blade," but rather "The Foundation of Spiritual Mind Mastery."

The most outrageous thing is that this "Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery" is actually worth 1000 billion!

"The Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery... I remember that later, when Luo Feng was being chased by Vulture Li Yao, he accidentally found some plant spirits and traded them with Hong for this 'Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery'!"

"Luo Feng probably used 3 stars to exchange for it, but the unit of stars was just something Hong arbitrarily named. A dragon blood worth 800 billion only costs 1 star."

Based on this conversion, "The Foundations of Spiritual Mastery" is worth at least 2400 billion, but the 800 billion for Dragon Blood is inflated, as this is only the retail price.

Dragon blood can be mass-produced, so the cost is definitely not that high.

Furthermore, techniques like "The Foundations of Spiritual Mind Mastery" require no cost and can be sold repeatedly, so a less exorbitant price is normal.

Qin Mu was somewhat surprised that the military possessed such a valuable item as "The Foundations of Spiritual Mind Mastery," but he also felt it was normal.

Because this thing is clearly not a product of Earth, it was most likely taken from some ruins. If Hong could get it, the military could get it too.

After acquiring the "Basic Techniques for Spiritual Mind Masters," Qin Mu lost interest in other spiritual mind master techniques, as most of them were cultivation methods developed by war gods themselves, and their value was far inferior to the "Basic Techniques for Spiritual Mind Masters."

Like "Apocalypse", "Fundamentals of Spiritual Masters" can also be purchased separately.

The difference between "Apocalypse" and "Spiritual Master Basics" is that "Spiritual Master Basics" is divided into three parts.

These are titled "Object Control," "Illusion," and "Beast Taming."

"The Fundamentals of Mental Mastery - Matter Manipulation". Rating: Ultimate. Price: 400 billion Chinese Yuan (full price), 200 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, Military Merit: Four Stars)

"The Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery - Illusion Techniques". Rating: Ultimate. Price: 400 billion Chinese Yuan (full price), 200 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, Military Merit: Four Stars)

"The Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery - Beast Taming". Rating: Ultimate. Price: 200 billion Chinese Yuan (full price), 100 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, Military Merit: Four Stars)

Qin Mu opened "The Basics of Spiritual Mastery - Matter Control", which is divided into three levels, corresponding to the three levels of War General, War God, and Beyond War God.

The first three levels of "Basic Techniques for Spiritual Masters - Matter Manipulation" cost 400 billion Chinese Yuan (full price) or 200 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, military merit: four stars).

The first two levels of "Basic Techniques for Spiritual Masters - Matter Manipulation" cost 80 billion Chinese Yuan (full price) or 40 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, military merit: three stars).

"The Foundations of Spiritual Mastery - Matter Manipulation" Level 1 - Price: 400 million Chinese Yuan (full price), 200 million Chinese Yuan (half price, Military Merit: Two Stars)

This book, "Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery," appears to have undergone some modifications. It is no longer divided according to the cosmic apprentice level, but rather according to the Earthly levels; otherwise, the titles would be Apprentice Level and Planetary Level.

Clearly, the higher-ups in humanity have deliberately blocked information about the universe.

There is no warrior level in this classification, because normally, as soon as a mentalist awakens, their physical fitness will quickly reach the intermediate warrior level, and their mentalist strength will naturally reach the primary warrior level.

"Still no money, I can only choose one to buy!"

Qin Mu sighed. He could only afford it at half price; otherwise, he would have been even less able to afford it.

"Choosing the first level of 'Basic Techniques for Mental Magic - Object Manipulation' is the most cost-effective. The Illusion and Beast Taming chapters don't significantly improve my strength."

Qin Mu quickly made a decision, clicked to buy, and paid.

In such a short time, 3 million yuan was gone. They really spend money like water.

"We need to make money quickly. Once we're done with all this, we're going to go on a big raid in the wilderness. We're desperately short of cash!"

The more Qin Mu looked at the online store, the more he felt his poverty. If he had the money, Qin Mu would have liked to buy the entire "Basic Techniques of Mental Mastery - Matter Control".

At the very least, we should buy the second floor.

Unlike martial artists who awaken on their own and become mentalists through their own potential, Qin Mu relied on the insect swarm, which allowed him to improve his strength very quickly.

In a few days, the level two mother nest will successfully hatch. With the feedback from the mother nest, its strength will increase rapidly, and it won't be long before it reaches the intermediate war god level.

The first level of "The Foundation of Spiritual Mastery - The Art of Object Control" wasn't that helpful to me!

But there's nothing I can do, I have no money!

"Now that we've got the martial arts cultivation techniques and the mental cultivation techniques for spiritual masters sorted out, it's time to look at the weapons and equipment."

Unlike joining a martial arts club, the military will provide a set of suitable weapons and equipment for free.

From large items like weapons, combat uniforms, combat watches, and backpacks, to small items like underwear, the military will provide each person with a set for free.

When choosing weapons and equipment, you can choose those that are one level higher than your current strength level.

If damaged during a mission, it can be replaced free of charge.

This is a perk for the military!

This is normal, since even ordinary military soldiers are issued a full set of weapons and equipment.

Military fighters often face far more dangers than freelance martial artists from martial arts schools!

"With my current strength as a mid-level warrior-level mentalist, I can receive a set of high-level warrior-level weapons and equipment for free, which is A6 level."

If you want to buy a better one, you can do that; just make up the difference yourself.

"I have 100 million yuan in start-up capital, and I also made more than 20 million yuan from selling monsters, so the total is 120 million yuan."

Qin Mu switched the page to the weapons page and first found the familiar Po Jun series spear.

"Broken Army Spear No. 2 Series, A6 Model Price: 2000 million Chinese Yuan (half price 1000 million, Military Merit: One Star)"

"Broken Army Spear No. 2 Series, A7 Model Price: 1 Million Chinese Yuan (Half Price 5000 Million, Military Merit: Two Stars)"

"Broken Army Spear No. 2 Series, A8 Model Price: 8 million Chinese Yuan (half price 4 million, Military Merit: Two Stars)"

"I can get the A6 level for free, but the A8 level is half price and I have to pay the difference, which I still can't afford! I can only consider the A7 level."

Qin Mu didn't rush to place an order, but instead looked at other equipment, not just spears, but also combat uniforms.

Combat uniforms are really too expensive; they usually cost more than three times the price of weapons.

Even if you can't afford the 7 series at half price, don't even consider it, just get a free 6 series.

For Qin Mu, what he needs most is not these weapons and combat suits, but combat weapons suitable for a mentalist!

These are throwing weapons such as throwing knives, short spears, and daggers.

As a mentalist, Qin Mu can also receive a set for free according to his needs, but only six throwing weapons are allowed, because generally speaking, a mentalist at the intermediate-level warrior level can only control two or three weapons, and cannot control more than that.

The military is already being very generous by offering six weapons for free.

"Throwing knives? No! A short spear is more suitable for me!"

Qin Mu did not consider throwing knives. Although throwing knives are small, easy to carry, and easier to use, they are also less lethal.

Short spears are inconvenient to carry, but they are powerful enough!

Moreover, Qin Mu was a gun user, so he was even more adept at manipulating the short spear.

These throwing weapons are much cheaper than conventional weapons such as swords and spears.

"An 9-series short spear costs 5000 million each, and even at half price, it's still 2500 million!"

"An 8-series short spear costs 1000 million each, and even at half price, it's still 500 million!"

"With my Zerg Overlord's innate talent and current manipulation abilities, I can easily control 10 short spears to unleash their full power. If I were to cultivate the 'Psychic Master - Object Manipulation Chapter,' I estimate I could easily control a dozen, or even dozens!"

It must be said that the Zerg Overlord is indeed powerful in this regard. You should know that before Luo Feng became a peak High War God and cultivated the "Basic Techniques of Spiritual Master", he could only perfectly control 6 throwing knives.

"I can get six level 6 short spears for free, but unfortunately level 6 short spears aren't worth much, only about 1 million. Six of them would be 6 million, which isn't bad."

Qin Mu carefully calculated how to purchase items to maximize his strength.

In the end, Qin Mu decided to buy one 9-series short spear and ten 8-series short spears, totaling 75 million!

After using the free credit to offset 600 million, you only need to pay 6900 million.

As for the weapon, the chosen weapon was the 7-series Breaking Army Spear, which was also half-price and then offset by the credit limit, costing a total of 4000 million!

A total of 109 million!

The military's promised 100 million yuan in start-up funds had already been transferred to Qin Mu's account. Seeing the money in his account instantly shrink from over 120 million to just over 12 million, Qin Mu felt a pang of heartache.

Unlike buying a cheat sheet, which only grants a credit limit, this is real money—your own money!

To avoid trouble, Qin Mu simply paid off the loan he had secured with the house, leaving him with less than ten million in cash.

"Relax, just waiting for the weapons and equipment to arrive."
