In the next few days, Chen Xingdu gradually recovered under the supervision of Ye Yang Bailiu.
After leaving the hospital, he immediately went to the garrison's shooting training range to practice "charged shooting."
Although there are many skills that can be learned, he only focuses on this one. Because many years of experience told him that skills are more expensive than finesse. Learning too much and being complicated will be useless.
Because the spiritual energy in the body of those who are in the initial and intermediate stages of spiritual awakening is very limited. The more times a skill is used, the higher the proficiency, and the greater the power, so you must focus on a small number of skills, otherwise you will always stay at the low-level stage.
For example, for charged shots, the damage in the early stage and later stage is completely different.
Before practicing, Chen Xing took a look at the black watch.
[Dr2612-6-23,am9:18]
[Life status: Health]
[Psychic level: 6/6]
[Protection level: 0 (tarpaulin military uniform)]
[Tip: Not within satellite signal coverage]
His spiritual power is 6, which means that the spiritual energy in his body has six standard units when it is saturated.
The minimum requirement for Charged Shot is two standard units, which increases as levels increase.
Then, he took off the assault rifle, pulled the bolt and loaded it, holding it with both hands, aiming at the bullseye ahead.
He slowed down his breathing, communicated with the spiritual sea, and then released the psychic factors through the pores of his body. His consciousness was slowly extending outward, and he could clearly feel the psychic factors flying out from the body surface. A very small part of it was flying around and gradually dissipating into the air, while most of it was surrounding his body and performing a uniform circular motion.
With his current strength, the energy carried by the psychic factor is very small, so it cannot be observed with the naked eye. The sign of a lord-level powerhouse is "the manifestation of spiritual sand". As the name suggests, the psychic factors they release can be observed with the naked eye.
Chen knew the structure of firearms well. Holding the gun with both hands, he could feel the approximate location of the bullet in the chamber through the distance between two points.
Under his guidance, the psychic factors flying at a constant speed gradually formed a stream of water-like energy, which penetrated into the gaps of the firearm, flowed into the bomb chamber, and adhered to the bullet.
Gradually, as the psychic factors increased, the cartridge case became crystal clear and emitted a faint blue light.
Feeling that the energy in the bullet was becoming saturated, Chen Xing pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
A blue flame erupted from the muzzle, and the huge recoil made Chen Xing take a step back. The wooden target in the distance exploded with the sound, creating a hole as big as a bowl. Compared with ordinary shooting, the power is more than two or three times greater.
At first glance, the damage does not increase much. A few more shots can cause the same damage. But in fact, there is a huge difference between the two. The skin, scales, carapace, or energy shield of mid-to-high-level mutant creatures are all very strong, and ordinary bullets may not be able to penetrate them.
Therefore, "breaking the defense" is particularly important. The bullet speed is increased, and the penetration power will also be increased. Using psychic shots to break openings and then using normal shots to expand the results is the main means of mid-to-high-level combat.
Looking at the black watch, the mental level dropped to 4. A healthy spiritually awakened person can recover three percent per hour without the aid of drugs, but this also depends on the environment and personal spiritual affinity.
The black meter cannot detect some deep abilities, such as psychic control, psychic affinity, psychic factor density, etc.
People with high psychic control are often able to reduce autonomous escape and excessive consumption when releasing psychic factors, and improve the utilization rate of psychic energy. People with high psychic affinity can absorb psychic energy independently faster. As for people with high density of psionic factors, each psionic factor can carry more energy. For any powerful person above the king level, the density of psychic factors is astonishingly high.
To put it simply, attaching two standard amounts of psychic energy to a 5.56-caliber bullet was Chen Xing's limit. If you continue to type, the bullet will explode. However, if it is done by a person with a higher density of psychic factors, the limits that can be achieved will change. There are even some strong men who can pour more than a hundred standard amounts of psychic energy into bullets of the same caliber, shattering the sky, a fortress, or a battleship with one shot.
Chen Xing felt that his psychic affinity and psychic factor density were average, but his psychic control was pretty good. For the first time he used charged shooting, the standard amount of two units was enough. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid it would have to exceed three standard amounts.
However, these three abilities can all be improved through acquired training after the spiritual power is awakened. Including the total amount of spiritual power, it can also be improved through exercise. Just go to the bookstore and buy a book "Introduction to Spiritual Power Cultivation".
But in fact, spiritual power practitioners like Chen Xing who "awaken the day after tomorrow" through medicine are almost like a tortoise in practice, so they should just rely on medicine...
I have to say that in his team, the guy named "Carrot" turned out to be "innately awakened", which really made him a little envious, jealous, and even hateful.
It's no wonder he wakes up easily after others fall asleep. Not only did he consume eight potions, but he almost lost his life, and only then did he wake up. Why is there such a big difference between people? He couldn't help but think.
He shook his head and practiced shooting again, and his mental power level dropped to 2 units. That’s it for today. Once your mental energy is exhausted, you will suffer from brain pain.
Then, he tried the mysterious rune "III" again, but found that there was no reaction at all, so he had to put it down temporarily.
After coming out of the shooting training range, he and Ye Yang Bailiu went to the bank in the town. They were received by an old gentleman in a tuxedo and monocle.
"Dear sir, beautiful lady, how can I help you?" the old gentleman greeted politely.
Chen Xing asked the other party to take out the objects stored here and pick out a part with a relatively clear price, which was about one thousand gold coins. The rest was stored back and will be auctioned at the auction house in Longshi Town after a while.
After picking up the items, the two headed to the commercial street, preparing to sell items at Aaliyah's gun shop. But not far from the store entrance, Chen Xing suddenly stopped, looked at Ye Yang Bailiu, and said, "You can go alone. I'll wait for you at the cafe diagonally opposite."
The reason why he made such a decision was that he suddenly thought that Ye Yang Bailiu was a woman. If she was left alone, woman against woman, Aaliyah couldn't do anything.
Moreover, no matter what, Ye Yang Bailiu is still a graduate student at the Lizard City Women's Noble College. A highly skilled talent, doesn't he still know how to count?
"How to cut the price?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked.
"According to the price on the black watch, it's almost enough." Chen Xing said.
"Okay." Ye Yang Bailiu walked into the gun shop with the bag in hand.
