Chapter 658: Real Word Stat, Brain Activation!
Mental Power? Psionic Energy?

Feng Luo’s face froze after reading the two system messages.

The system message said that my mentality has increased, which means I have a Mental Power stat that is hidden…
Feng Luo mumbled to himself.
Mental Power was something that Feng Luo had always considered to be vague and pointless. Or rather, at the very least, he found it to be a concept that was incredibly difficult to understand!
Although, since the game already had contained things like the Force and Psionic Energy, having a form of Mental Power would not be strange at all.
However, Mental Power was a hidden stat that could not be checked on. It had functioned in a way that was similar to the Luck stat. So, it was not possible for one to actually know how high one’s stat was.
Feng Luo continued to mumble to himself.
Regardless, the strengthening of the Mental Power stat has greatly enhanced my overall perception and strength. Perhaps this is the reason why my surroundings feel and look very different right now. Also, if I remember correctly, there is a strong relationship between Mental Power and Psionic Energy in Starcraft!

Feng Luo’s highly active mind quickly began to recall information about Starcraft’s background.
In the game, Psionic Energy itself was a sort of power that connected to one’s mind.
Furthermore, if he remembered correctly, the game setting made it so that the humans could not easily manipulate Psionic Energy. At the same time, some of the advanced units of the Zerg species could possess Psionic Energy.
However, among the three main camps in the game, the Protoss had very advanced minds. As such, they possessed amazing Mental Power from birth and had the ability to manipulate advanced level Psionic Energy!

Wait! The mind!

Feng Luo’s eyes moved quickly as he had an idea.
Feng Luo spoke through the audio recording device to the system and said,
Activate the game capsule’s body status monitor!

Inside the abandoned ruin, players could not go offline. However, the game capsule’s monitoring system allowed players to check data on their bodies in the real world while they were still inside the game.
After Feng Luo issued his command, the system opened up the monitoring system page.

Peak heart rate; muscle cell metabolic index; brain activity rate; static state energy consumption…

Feng Luo skipped past the normal stats and went straight to the bottom of the list to review the hidden stats that he could still check after awakening the Force in the game.
[Seventh Brain Domain Progress – 3.35%]
[Known Hidden Gene Fragment Unlock Progress – 0.301%]

So that’s how it is, huh?

Feng Luo shifted his gaze and stared at the
Seventh Brain Domain Progress – 3.35%
stat.
After learning that the game could also impact a player’s body in the real world, Feng Luo had been checking his body’s data every single day.
The Seventh Brain Domain and the Hidden Gene Fragment Unlock were two stats that had been gradually increasing over the past ten days.
Usually, their growth rate had not been very fast. More specifically, the brain domain activation progress was slow.
However, he clearly remembered that when he checked it earlier in the day, the progress was only at 0.98%. Now, the progress was at 3.35%. It had almost doubled in one go!

The brain region activation rate, the increase of Mental Power, the awakening of Psionic Energy…

Considering the two messages in his system logs from the game, Feng Luo was almost certain that the brain domain activation progress was closely related to the increase of his Mental Power and the awakening of Psionic Energy.
Feng Luo then mumbled,
Since the Seventh Brain Domain’s activation corresponds to the Psionic Energy, what happens when the Hidden Gene Fragment Unlock progress reaches 100%? Since awakening the Force has granted me a series of increases and adjustments in stats, what will this Psionic Energy awakening grant me?

After affirming his suspicions and confirming that his body was still displayed as
Normal,
Feng Luo quickly remembered the
Gains
he picked up after the previous Force awakening.
As such, he closed the stats interface and switched to look back at the system logs.
After he reopened the system logs interface, the first message he saw was not regarding the Psionic Energy stat. Instead, it was about the bonus he received after the Evolution Talent was triggered.
[Due to the Evolution Talent, you have received: Permanent Psionic Energy Attack Resistance from the Zerg Overmind +10%, Permanent Psionic Energy Attack Resistance from the Zerg Cerebrate +20%, Permanent Psionic Energy Attack Resistance from the Advanced Zerg Units +30%!]
The activation of the Evolution Talent did not really surprise Feng Luo. Truth be told, when he was facing the Zerg Boss and the advanced units, he had already activated the Evolution Talent a few times.
However, compared to before, the bonus provided by the Evolution Talent this time was a lot higher.
A series of Permanent Stat bonuses, while they were only resistant to very specific units, were nonetheless incredible gains.
Feng Luo went on to read the next message in the system log.
[Due to the awakening of the Beginner Level Psionic Energy, you have received: Intelligence +100%, Mental Type Attack Effects +20%, Mental Type Attack Permanent Resistance +20%, Psionic Energy +200%!]
Feng Luo furrowed his brows after reading the stats.
Compared to the awakening of the Force, the stat bonuses obtained after the awakening of the Psionic Energy was quite underwhelming.
First of all, there was no increase in his HP or his general stats. Secondly, there was no stat bonus that he could choose!
As for the bonus effect on Mental Type Attacks, for Feng Luo, they were useless because he did not know or possess any Mental Attack skills.
Regarding mental resistance, it would only be useful when he encountered units such as the Cerebrate or the earlier black beetle that possessed Mental Type Attacks. However, neither of the two creatures mentioned previously were left on this planet. Therefore, he would not have much use of mental resistance, and it would not help to increase his combat ability.
The only useful thing to him right now was probably the increase in his Intelligence stat.
As a Sniper and Light Armor Warrior, his Agility, Strength, and Vitality stats were not low. Furthermore, apart from his base stats, he also had the equipment bonuses too.
On the other hand, his Intelligence stat had been quite low. Either way, the stat was not all that useful for professions that dealt with physical attacks.
However, the 100 Intelligence stat points could not be regarded as entirely useless in all situations. The 100 Intelligence stat points could be quite powerful when paired with the bonuses he had received after awakening the Force and the
All stat +20
bonus from the badge. His Intelligence stat may even be higher than some of the manipulator players who had not awakened the Force!
Therefore, he would not have much of a problem even if he were to choose the manipulator profession as his third profession!
Of course, not mentioning the fact that Feng Luo had not even considered the option of choosing an energy type profession as his third profession, the mere point requirement, as well as the A-Rank Authorization requirement, was challenging to meet. He needed to exchange the
Third Profession Change Chip
from the special agent warehouse, and that was already an insurmountable obstacle for him.
Therefore, the conclusion was that the Intelligence stat bonus was also useless.
However, Feng Luo did not feel bad after coming to this realization.
Since the awakening of Psionic Energy was quite sudden and unexpected, he found it all a tad ridiculous.
No matter how he looked at it, the increase in stats was definitely better than having nothing at all.
So, Feng Luo continued reading.
