Savior Simulator

Chapter 786 Spirit Seal
Gao Fei touched his forehead, thanking Metatron for his generosity for granting the spirit seal, but at the same time feeling a lot of confusion.

"My dear lady, what is the difference between the 'psychic power' you mentioned and magic?"

"It's complicated to explain in detail. In order to facilitate your understanding, let me ask a question first. Do you know the 'Qi' of monks?"

"of course I know!"

Gao Fei himself has never practiced as a monk, but he has a girlfriend who specializes in monks. He has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run. He is no stranger to the source of monk's power, "Zhen Qi".

"Magic, true energy, and psionic energy are three similar but independent energy systems."

"Magic is mainly to borrow external energy, collect the free magic power in nature through the magic net, inject it into a specific magic configuration, and generate the corresponding magic effect."

"True Qi is endogenous energy. By constantly exercising one's body and spirit, as the realm of cultivation improves, the amount of true Qi condensed in the body will also increase, and then released in different ways to evolve various forms of energy. A martial art."

"Spiritual energy is also derived from the inner energy of the practitioner, but it is more extreme than true qi. It no longer pursues the balance between the body and the spirit, and focuses on spiritual practice. It guides pure spiritual energy from the depths of one's own soul without any external aid. Existing forms, such as spell configurations or martial arts, can directly interfere with the material world."

"Because of this, psychic powers don't have any moves or movements, nor do they require gestures, materials, and spell-casting rituals. They can be released with a single thought, and they can still be cast in a non-magic environment."

Gao Fei was stunned when he heard this, and he thought for a while before breaking the silence.

"Ms. Metatron, since psychic powers are not affected by the concentration of external magic power and can be used at any time, why doesn't Tiangong provide psionic professions in "Savior Simulator" and popularize this supernatural power that is more convenient than magic?"

"Do you think Tiangong doesn't want to? Hehe, it's just that it can't be done yet."

Metatron folded his hands behind his back, a smug look on his face.

"The higher-ups of Tiangong released me from the prison because they wanted to use my knowledge and experience in the field of psychic energy to design a set of simple and easy-to-learn psychic energy courses."

"Ms. Metatron, with your ability, you must have already completed this work, so is it convenient for you to send me a copy of the psionic tutorial?" Gao Fei asked eagerly.

Unexpectedly, this time it was really flattering on the horse's leg.

"Hmm...Unfortunately, my work has not made breakthrough progress yet." Metatron said embarrassingly, "It can't be my fault! Psychic powers have too high aptitude requirements for practitioners. A spiritual person can open the psionic energy pool once he realizes it, otherwise he will not be able to achieve enlightenment after a lifetime of hard work!"

This sounds a lot like a Zen Buddhist tune...

Gao Fei shook his head secretly.

Metatron has repeatedly emphasized what "enlightenment" and "spirituality" are, which shows that psychic powers are not suitable for popularization to the public at all.

Psychic powers are like an "art", if you understand it, you understand it, if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, there is no reason to talk about it.

For those who are engaged in art, no matter how hard they study and practice, they cannot make up for the gap in talent.

In contrast, magic is closer to "science".

It is true that smart people learn magic faster, but people with ordinary aptitude can gain something as long as they are willing to work hard and learn magic step by step.

Gao Fei quickly thought of another matter.

"Ms. Metatron, the superpowers of mutants can be used in a non-magic environment after they develop to maturity. Does this mean that the superpowers of mutants are closer to psychic powers than magic?"

Metatron smiled and nodded.

"The reason why creatures mutate is only an inducement from the stimulation of external magic power, and more importantly, their own will is at work. Of course, this is just my personal opinion and does not represent the mainstream view of Tiangong's scientific research department."

Having said that, she raised her finger to Gao Fei's eyebrows.

"The spiritual seal I have placed on you has enough stored energy to release 10 'mind blasts'."

"When you come back from this trip, if you can help me find the wreckage of the spaceship, or get valuable information, I will help you upgrade the 'Shocking Spirit Seal', solidify it in your body, and then spend an astrolabe energy to complete it." Release an upgraded version of 'Mind Blast'."

"With your words, I will do my best!"

Gao Fei suppressed his excitement and bid farewell to Metatron.

When leaving Yaoguang's office, Gao Fei briefly reported Metatron's commission.

"Station Master, do you think I should help with this?"

"Just now I was worried that Metatron would give you a problem, but it turned out that it was just letting you find a lost item along the way."

Yao Guang was very satisfied with Gao Fei's correct attitude of asking the leader for instructions in a timely manner, and said to him with a smile:
"The family has already paid the deposit. It's not a violation of the rules if you earn some extra money along the way. Just don't delay your job."

"Don't worry, I can tell which is more important."

Saying goodbye to Yaoguang, Gao Fei returned to his dormitory at the Tiangong base, and was about to call Jiang Feng when he suddenly remembered something, so he put down the phone, turned on the astrolabe, and checked his status panel.

Sure enough, the "Detonation Seal" that Metatron had placed on him appeared in the "Special Attack" column.

……

Shocking spirit seal: energy storage 10/10, every time a charge of energy storage is consumed, a "mind blast" can be released.

……

Abilities with a limited number of uses can be roughly divided into two categories.

The first type is the "rechargeable" type, which will be filled up automatically tomorrow if it is used up today.

For example, Goofy's "Frost Star Wand" is a rechargeable magic tool.

The second type is the "energy storage" type, the total amount is so much, and it will be used up.

For example, the one-time magic device made by Ma Yun through "item injection" is energy storage equipment.

According to the above classification criteria, Gao Fei's "Spiritual Explosion Seal" also belongs to the "energy storage" type.

The energy stored in the spiritual seal can release a total of 10 "mind blasts". When the stored energy is exhausted, the spiritual seal will disappear automatically.

The next question is, what is the use of "Mind Blast"?

With doubts, Gao Fei continued to check the status panel.

……

Mind Blast: Take a "bonus" or "reaction" action to release a 60-foot cone of psychic waves from itself. Creatures in this area are trapped unless they make a DC 30 Will save. "Shock and Awe" state lasts up to 1 minute.During this time, the stunned creature can make a Will saving throw each round.

……

Creatures that are "shocked" cannot act or think. The items and weapons they hold will fall out of their hands, and they cannot fight back when attacked.

Among the common negative states, apart from "sleep" and "paralysis", "shock and awe" is the most powerful negative state to control.
