Chapter 324 All-in Mental Attributes?
Chen Yifan's pupils contracted slightly.
Wang Qingyun's words perfectly filled in the missing piece of information in his mind.
Sure enough.
There are no fools in this world!
The lamplighter uses any means necessary to recruit and test heretical geniuses.
The Council of Order is secretly orchestrating mechanical ascension.
They are using flesh and blood to capture people and conduct mutated experiments everywhere.
These seemingly crazy and inhumane actions were actually all part of preparing for the day when the "world's engine stops turning"!
"so."
Chen Yifan leaned back in the iron chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest.
"This current system where everyone levels up by defeating monsters is actually a trump card that can be taken away at any time. Once the system is gone, all those levels and equipment become just a bunch of useless data, right?"
"Absolutely correct."
Wang Qingyun exhaled a puff of smoke, his expression extremely solemn.
"When that day truly comes, the only forces upon which all of humanity will survive will be their own bodies and spirits!"
The old man stood up and walked up to Chen Yifan.
"You don't have a mental lock, that's your greatest asset. It's also your shirt."
Wang Qingyun lowered his voice.
"Take my advice: while the world engine is still running and you can still level up by fighting monsters, go all in with all the free attribute points the system has given you!"
Chen Yifan raised an eyebrow:
"The spirit of all of Canada?"
"Yes! Put all the extra effort into mental health!"
Wang Qingyun was resolute.
"Don't allocate any points to strength or agility!"
Traditional skill point allocation, even for elemental mages specializing in magic.
They will also allocate at least one-third of their attribute points to Constitution or Agility.
Used to increase physical strength and movement speed.
Increase the margin for error on the battlefield.
But Wang Qingyun rejected this approach outright.
"You're different from them! You don't need to leave yourself any room for error!"
Wang Qingyun waved his hand.
"What do you rely on in your heretical path? It's a clash of mental strength! Others add mental energy, but still have to reserve a large portion to fight off the shackles above their heads. What about you? You don't have that damned shackle!"
The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, spitting everywhere.
"As long as your mental strength is immense enough, you're a heavily armored firepower platform! As for your physical body not being able to withstand it? Bullshit! When your mental strength reaches a certain level, you can directly materialize it as a shield; who can break through your defenses!"
Chen Yifan listened quietly.
Wang Qingyun had the same idea as him.
He had thought so before.
only.
There's been so much going on lately.
He put the issue of rank out of his mind.
Under the rules of the [World Engine], the system will automatically distribute free attribute points for each level up.
Regular professionals use these attribute points to enhance their physical bodies in order to unleash higher-level system skills.
If he were to receive all of these massive spiritual attribute points, he could then directly channel them into the external spiritual palace within his mind.
This is practically freeloading!
Use the free system rewards from the [World Engine] to nourish your unorthodox origin that transcends the system rules!
They used the free feed the farmer gave them to raise a wolf that specifically targets and kills the farmer!
This is practically a bug that perfectly crashes the system!
Chen Yifan's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.
This growth path, which involves extreme attribute suppression, is exactly what he wants.
If this operation succeeds, his true combat strength will be completely free from the constraints of the concept of "level".
"Have you figured it out?"
Looking at Chen Yifan's expression, Wang Qingyun knew that the kid had taken it to heart.
"Understood."
Chen Yifan nodded.
Without hesitation, he put all the dozens of free attribute points he had accumulated into the [Spirit] column.
hum.
Chen Yifan felt a sudden jolt in the external Dao Heart Palace in his mind.
A layer of extremely dazzling white light instantly flowed across the surface of those twelve thick stone pillars.
The foundation of the unorthodox path, which originally needed to be honed slowly, was forcibly elevated a little.
Chen Yifan felt his spiritual power increase and was in a great mood.
Upon seeing this, Wang Qingyun's expression turned serious.
He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.
"I've shown you the way, but you still have to protect your own life."
Wang Qingyun pointed in the direction of Jiangcheng.
"Tonight's events have blown up too much. The death of the ghost, coupled with the arrival of the Cleanser's judgmental white light."
"With these two things combined, the Lamplighters headquarters is absolutely in an uproar."
"They will be launching a crackdown of the highest level. Any high-level power fluctuations related to Jiangcheng will be relentlessly pursued. Once they've got a hold of it, the entire state apparatus will hunt them down relentlessly."
The old man looked into Chen Yifan's eyes.
"So, you must completely disappear during this period. Keep all your underhanded tactics to yourself! Aside from attending classes and grinding dungeons, absolutely no trouble! Understand?"
Chen Yifan stood up and nodded in perfect agreement:
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I've always been a low-key person and I hate trouble the most."
Wang Qingyun rolled his eyes.
If he believed this kid's nonsense, all those years of eating rice would have been for nothing.
"Alright, hurry back to Kyoto. I'll use warp to send you a short distance." The old man was too lazy to waste words and tore open a spatial rift with his hand.
Chen Yifan stepped into the crevice.
Before the passage closed, he waved goodbye to Wang Qingyun.
A distorted light and shadow appeared before my eyes.
As Chen Yifan moved through the spatial passage, the submissiveness and cooperation on his face vanished instantly.
Is he low-key?
What a joke.
All he can think about now is how to quickly gain experience and how to get a huge amount of free attribute points.
Chen Yifan quickly assessed his current resources in his mind.
The most crucial piece is the fragment of the world's core, about the size of a fingernail, located in the Heart Palace.
With this thing as cover, even if he maximizes his external spiritual power in the outside world, the monitoring radar of the [World Engine] and the high-ranking Cleaners will not be able to detect anything amiss.
The second trump card is the zero-loss output brought about by the unlocking mechanism.
Every time he makes a move.
It's all about 100% full-power crushing without reservation; there's no need to spare any attention to fight against the so-called backlash from the rules.
With these two cards in hand, Chen Yifan had a very accurate assessment of his true combat strength.
Unless you're incredibly unlucky and run into an old monster like Wang Qingyun who's lived for who knows how long, or one of the core high-ranking members of the Lamplighters.
Under the current system, this applies to regular professions up to level 75 after the third job advancement.
Or perhaps those high-level king-class beasts that strike fear into the hearts of major guilds.
In front of Chen Yifan, they were all just bugs that he could easily crush.
No matter how many come, they all die.
"I have to go back to school."
Chen Yifan stepped out of the spatial rift and looked at the outline of Kyoto Martial Arts University in the distance.
There are top-level leveling areas there, and a challenge mechanism that leads directly to the tower.
That was the best place for him to exploit the system.
or.
He should also take this time to see the world outside the city.
……
At the same time.
Deep underground in Kyoto.
The Lamplighter Headquarters.
A piercing red, highest-level alarm echoed wildly through the underground alloy tunnels that stretched for kilometers.
All the heavy alloy explosion-proof doors were lowered and locked, and fully armed tactical squads moved back and forth in the corridor.
The entire base was placed on high alert.
The black conference room, number 01, at the deepest part of the building, had its doors tightly shut.
There were no living people sitting around the huge oval conference table; instead, a dozen blurry virtual holographic images were projected onto it.
This is the true high-level core council of the Lamplighters.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely tense.
At the head of the table, a dignified man with a full head of silver hair slammed a top-secret red document onto the table.
"Just ten minutes ago."
The silver-haired man's voice echoed in the hall, filled with barely suppressed anger.
"Shadow Group Senior Investigator Ghost, the vital signs monitoring terminal attached to him has emitted a death signal."
"Death Coordinates: Abandoned Cross-River Bridge in Jiangcheng"
A few hushed whispers could be heard from within the holographic image.
The silver-haired man raised his hand, silencing the whispers.
"That's not the worst part."
He tapped the control panel on the table, and an energy fluctuation chart was projected into the air.
"Before the ghost died, it triggered the space-based weapon's automatic lock-on. But two seconds before the space-based weapon was to launch, the dimensional space at that coordinate was forcibly torn apart."
"The highest level of judgment, white light, descends."
"The cleaners have made their move."
The meeting room fell so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
A few seconds later, a phantom sitting on the left suddenly stood up.
"What a joke! Ghost went to Jiangcheng to carry out a routine mission to test freshman Chen Yifan. Even if he encounters some scum from the Blood and Flesh Source, his heretical black fire is enough to get him out of there!"
"Who killed him? And why did it involve the Cleaners?"
The silver-haired man looked at him coldly:
"If I had known, I wouldn't have called you all up for this meeting."
He switched to the next holographic image.
That's a satellite image of the bridge ruins.
"According to the last images transmitted back by the space-based satellite, in addition to the remains of the three fanatics from the Flesh and Blood Source, there was also the corpse of the Ghost."
"The freshman named Chen Yifan, and his sister who was used as bait, have all vanished without a trace."
"At the same time, the residual energy at the scene was forcibly erased by an extremely advanced unknown method."
The silver-haired man's gaze swept over all the virtual images present.
"Gentlemen, we can kill ghosts in a few dozen seconds, erase all traces, and take two people away right under the noses of the Cleaners."
"This is absolutely not something that some lousy, wild, heretical genius could do."
He placed his hands on the table and announced his final conclusion, word by word.
"Whether it's a deeply hidden ancient sect or an agent of some higher-dimensional deity we haven't yet grasped, they're using Jiangcheng as a pretext to slap us, the Lamplighters, in the face!"
At the far end of the conference table, a gloomy, shadowy figure that had remained silent spoke up and asked:
"Was that kid named Chen Yifan taken away by them? Or is there something wrong with him to begin with?"
"That requires investigation." The silver-haired man straightened up. "Pass on my orders: cancel all leave for the Shadow Group."
"Activate the S-level pursuit plan."
"Focus on investigating the whereabouts of all high-level professionals in Kyoto Martial Arts University and Jiangcheng. Investigate the Xia family, the black market, and everyone who has had contact with that kid."
"I want to see him alive or dead."
The silver-haired man slammed his fist on the table.
"We'll dig three feet into the ground and find this force pulling the strings behind the scenes!"
