"This piece of equipment is indeed more practical than the Pumpkin Head,"

the mule introduced: "After pressing the button, it can absorb the blood of living creatures within a conical range of 20 meters in front and store it in a container. The 30% blood absorption mentioned in the item description refers to 30% of the total blood volume that the flesh creature currently possesses.

The time required for blood absorption and the strength of the suction mainly depend on the purity of the user's Bloodline of The Blood Clan.

The higher the quality of the bloodline, the stronger the suction, the shorter the time required, and the greater the range.

However, it's still the same problem."

The mule shrugged, "The Blood Sweeping Vacuum Cleaner requires the user to have the Bloodline of The Blood Clan.

The issue is, if you possess a high-level bloodline capable of fully unlocking the potential of this equipment, you naturally have the ability to control blood and don't rely much on it.

But if you only have about 5% or 10% of the bloodline, you can use it,

but the suction and efficiency during blood absorption are quite low."

"It's tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away, right?"

Li Ang nodded, acknowledging that in the Killing Field game, there is no saying of "there is no completely useless equipment, only players who can't use it."

There are always some equipment and items with overly stringent usage conditions, or requiring a lot of other elements to cooperate before they can exert power. Moreover, even if all conditions are met, the upper limit may not necessarily be high.

(For example, using the Pumpkin Head of the Headless Horseman in conjunction with some items that can greatly enhance ghost abilities can result in an immortal... high-level spoon ghost. Just like that)

Finally, the mule sold two items at a packaged price of 14,000 Game Coins to Li Ang.

Li Ang swiftly transferred the money to the mule through a friend link, said goodbye, exchanged a few words with Laura behind the Immaculate Furnace cash register, and logged out of Game Square, returning to the real world.

In the living room, Chaichai was still sitting on the paper-thin Frozen Throne, but her spirit seemed much more withered, looking lifeless and constrained.

"What's going on?"

Li Ang glanced at her and casually asked.

"I'm overseeing the expansion plan,"

Chaichai replied weakly: "The first batch of converters has returned to normal life in the real world, and the initial construction of the nests in areas like Rio de Janeiro, Mumbai, Chennai, Sri Lanka, and the Congo is complete."

"Isn't that quite good?"

Li Ang asked: "Why so troubled?"

"The European Heavy Industry Group's control over underdeveloped regions like South America, South Asia, and West Africa is much stronger than we imagined."

Miss Chai said sullenly, "According to the news from the frontline scout bugs, the European Heavy Industry Group is attempting to build comprehensive monitoring and personal positioning tracking systems, similar to the Special Affairs Bureau, in some populous big cities and network service infrastructure systems.

These two systems are privately used by the European Heavy Industry Group in the name of a private enterprise and will not share data with local official agencies.

In other words, the European Heavy Industry Group is trying to monitor, listen to, and track everyone in the region, understand everything about them, and, at an appropriate time, stop them from speaking out, block internal and external communications, and establish a state within a state.

Additionally, the European Heavy Industry Group is recruiting local manpower, training armed personnel, and maliciously distributing supernatural powers—such as selling serum potions, pills for temporarily possessing superpowers, mechanical prosthetics, and magic books, etc.

If the European Heavy Industry Group's plan succeeds, it will be more troublesome for the nest to infiltrate..."

Chaichai sighed, "South America and South Asia are too trashy, allowing the European Heavy Industry Group to do as they please without fighting back at all.

Ultimately, it is us who will end up troubled."

"Hmm.... there's nothing we can do about that, though."

Li Ang had an open mind, "But it probably hasn't completed so quickly yet.

If necessary, the expansion of the nest can slow down a bit, let the Gene Thief or converters harass and obstruct the European Heavy Industry Group's plans, and buy some time.

Feel free to execute as you see fit,"

"Mm."

Chaichai nodded and conveyed Li Ang's will to the brain worms through the Divine Power Connection.

She was indeed the Lady Saint, but it was better to let Li Ang decide the main direction of certain plans.

After handling the expansion of the nest, Li Ang returned to the Alchemy Workshop once again, took out three Perfect Level items, as before, and offered them up to the Psychic Ability Manual: Beginner.

As a dazzling light flashed, the three items gradually dissipated into light points, and within the originally crystal book-like Psychic Ability Manual, three thread-like red lights slowly flowed.

"The quality is still Perfect Level."

The change in power had led to a shift in mentality. Li Ang didn't feel much fluctuation in his heart for burning three perfect pieces of equipment... though, to be honest, there was a tiny bit of heartache.

"A large section of text has appeared in the vacant part afterward,

and the first note states: [The user can sacrifice an additional epic level item to upgrade the Psychic Ability Manual Crystal to advanced, at which point the methods for learning level 8-9 psychic abilities will be unlocked]."

Li Ang murmured while holding the slightly hot crystal book, "Sacrificing an epic item to upgrade it to advanced...

Hmm, as expected, such a high-potential power system skill book is not a loss regardless of how much money is spent, as long as its growth rate can outrun the increasing difficulty of the Killing Field game tasks.

After all, it can be taught to others, a one-time payment for lifetime benefits."

Li Ang comforted himself a few times and then quickly opened the book to carefully read through it.

The newly added content in the Spirit Power Manual introduces the level 5-7 psychic abilities of various schools and their learning methods.

Also included are some classic cases of using these abilities to help beginners better master spiritual energy.

Besides this, the new content also records the manufacturing processes of psychic items commonly used by mentalists, methods for producing magic potions that nurture the mind and body, and anecdotes about certain famous mentalists, etc.

"These anecdotes are really valuable."

Li Ang's eyes lit up, reading through the book and talking to himself: "Typically, a mentalist cannot master multiple psychic systems' abilities simultaneously.

However, a reclusive sect found a different way and specially recruited children with split personality symptoms from a young age to teach them spiritual energy, successfully making one mentalist simultaneously master the same level abilities of six systems.

Although more troublesome heart demons will form in the later stages, it's still a new idea—at least it can be tested on new brain worms..."

After carefully browsing through the remaining content of the book, several hours later, Li Ang closed it heavily, exhaling a deep breath.

The upgraded Spirit Power Manual, which cost a substantial price, was indeed worth it,

not only allowing Li Ang to learn subsequent abilities,

but also providing the brain worms of various schools a path for advancement—Li Ang's personal power limit increment means that the brain worms can now learn more profound spiritual energy techniques without worrying about the latter rebelling and slipping out of control.

Sixth- and seventh-level Enchantment System abilities include skills for detecting minds and dominating intelligence.

"I've noted down the level 5 abilities, and now it's time to focus on water-grinding work and sustain practice..."

Li Ang closed the book, rubbed his somewhat weary forehead, considering finding an opportunity to open lower-level spiritual energy learning methods to the brain worms.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide.

The familiar system prompt sounded in his ear.

[The task trigger condition has been met]
