Late at night, in Yelena's room at the base of Leaping Nuclear.
"Master, I noticed that you don't even blush in this state."
Ye Lina took off her coat and exposed her smooth back to the air. Zhao Mingwei was standing behind her at this time, with his fingertips on the back of Ye Lina's neck expressionlessly.
This touch made Ye Lina's whole body stiff, but Ye Lina still carefully turned back and took a peek at Zhao Mingwei.
She found that the expression on Zhao Mingwei's face was so calm, as if he was touching not the smooth back of an eighteen-year-old girl, but a majestic Buddha statue.
Zhao Mingwei's eyes didn't even look anywhere else! This made Ye Lina wonder if she had no charm as a woman
"Blush? I'm not in the mood to blush right now."
Zhao Mingwei focused his attention on the flow of Ye Lina's mental energy. This afternoon, Ye Lina encountered an accident while practicing mental energy, and she was injured by the circulation of her own mental energy.
The injury was so serious that Ye Lina's upper limit of health was reduced by about 5%. From Zhao Mingwei's understanding, her life span was shortened because of her Qi training.
"Then Master, please at least give me some reaction." Ye Lina said angrily after hearing Zhao Mingwei's response.
"Don't move."
But Ye Lina's complaint was met with a not-so-harsh reminder from Zhao Mingwei.
In Zhao Mingwei's eyes, Ye Lina was really no different from a Buddha statue. Because the flow of Ye Lina's internal energy was disordered, Zhao Mingwei was too lazy to think about other things.
His attitude towards Yelina is actually a bit like his attitude towards Freya.
It is true that some players would regard Freya as a love object, but in Zhao Mingwei's eyes, Freya is more like a family member.
Family, teammates, partners are a kind of... sustenance, yes, a spiritual sustenance.
Many people in real life will leave him, but the characters in the game will not. At least Freya will always be with him, and maybe Yelina will be the same.
Zhao Mingwei had a very rough life when he was young, and his parents did not treat him well, so he focused his energy on video games, and the characters in video games became his sustenance.
Other players may have already regarded Freya as some kind of spiritual support, but the difference between Zhao Mingwei and these players is that the entire Holy Spirit World is his spiritual support.
He likes the game Holy Spirit, so he doesn't want everything he is familiar with in Holy Spirit to disappear, including the partners in the game, the NPCs in the city, and even some well-known buildings in the game. These all constitute Zhao Mingwei's "experience" of playing Holy Spirit.
Without the Holy Spirit, what would he have left? Zhao Mingwei would occasionally think about this. He had also thought about this question when he was a professional player of Dissension.
That's why he tried his best to protect the world of Holy Spirit. For the active player friends in Holy Spirit, the world of Blue Star is equally important.
Zhao Mingwei has long been accustomed to Ye Lina, who is called "Master" every time he goes online.
"Is it really not possible?"
Zhao Mingwei released his fingertips that were pressing on Ye Lina's back. He had just checked the flow of Ye Lina's internal energy.
Ye Lina's level has now reached level 55. If the levels are separated, her physical fitness can reach level 27, and her mental energy level is level 28.
But unfortunately, the mental energy of only level 28 has already begun to destroy Ye Lina's body.
Zhao Mingwei remembered that the background description mentioned that mental energy itself was a kind of power that could greatly damage the body...especially the tendons and veins. Male mental energy masters could even be killed by their own mental beasts while practicing.
These background stories are of no use to players. Even if they are killed by a mind beast in the job transfer trial, they can just challenge it again.
But will Ye Lina be resurrected after death? Zhao Mingwei didn't dare to bet, and if Ye Lina continued to practice, she might not die, but would be tortured by the mind energy for many years.
The power of the God Eater is not so easy to master.
"Nian Qi, do you want to continue learning it?" Zhao Mingwei asked as he covered Ye Lina with a blanket.
"Of course I have to continue to study. If I don't continue to study, I don't think there is anything I can do. Master, don't worry. I am in good health and can handle it."
As Ye Lina spoke, she used her left hand to flex her muscles. She actually realized that the seeds of spiritual energy inherited from Zhao Mingwei were destroying her body.
But Ye Lina must find a way to make herself stronger. Although she is a person who is content with the status quo, if she does not learn to practice breathing, there is no reason for her to continue following Zhao Mingwei.
"Then I will find a way to let you continue practicing. Just go to sleep today."
Zhao Mingwei glanced at the time display in the lower right corner of the game. It was already three o'clock in the morning on Brand Island. The time of day in this plane was synchronized with that of Blue Star. Tomorrow Ye Lina would help look after the plantation in the base.
"Master, are you leaving?" Ye Lina sat on the bed wrapped in a blanket and asked Zhao Mingwei who had stood up.
"Um."
"Um... do I also have the chance to visit your world, Master?" Ye Lina suddenly asked.
This made Zhao Mingwei's steps to leave pause for a while. The change in Zhao Mingwei's expression made Ye Lina shrink her head in fear and said...
"It was the female pirate named Lady Disaster who told me. I have also been to your other world, Master, but she said that the real world is much more lively than the other world, so I was a little curious." Ye Lina quickly added.
"Our world isn't as good as you think, but it's not bad either. But it's also very lively here."
Zhao Mingwei didn't know how to answer his apprentice for a moment. He should be Ye Lina's life mentor, but Zhao Mingwei is only in his twenties.
"Everyone at Leaping Nucleus is very nice, and Holy Spirit City has become lively recently. Hmm... I'd better go to sleep."
Ye Lina seemed to be unable to explain why she wanted to go to the real world halfway through her speech. She wrapped herself in a blanket with some hesitation and fell on the bed pretending to fall asleep.
Zhao Mingwei turned off the light in the room, walked to the door of Ye Lina's room and took a look at the blanket 'mummy' lying on the bed.
"Good night." Zhao Mingwei said to Ye Lina.
"Good night, Master." Ye Lina poked her little head out from under the blanket and watched Zhao Mingwei leave her room.
Zhao Mingwei closed the door of the room and looked at the gradually prosperous nuclear base in the distance.
There are currently 147 NPCs living in the Leaping Nuclear Base. Some of them come from Kuroshio Island, and more are Crystal Plague infected people from Brand Island.
The base of Leaping Nuclear has gradually transformed from a village into a small town, and the Coke craze in the distance has begun to develop towards the county town.
It is estimated that a prosperous city will appear here soon. Zhao Mingwei walked out of the limited range of Ye Lina's residence. Every NPC's house has an air wall.
Players who are not allowed by the Leaping Nucleus cannot approach these buildings, not even the NPCs themselves, so there is no need to worry about security.
"The doctor who treated the backlash of the mind energy..."
Zhao Mingwei stretched out his fingertips and swiped out his system menu. After the new version of Holy Spirit was updated, the player's level cap had reached level 65.
Although no new dungeons have been updated, the dungeons in the Path of Ascension are enough for players to play for a whole year.
What Zhao Mingwei cares about are some new systems introduced after the new version update, or the optimization of previous systems.
One of the most critical updates is that the NPC social system has been comprehensively upgraded.
Zhao Mingwei opened his NPC social interface, and a large number of NPCs and Zhao Mingwei's favorability were ranked in order from high to low.
The first place is occupied by Zhao Mingwei's Freya. Freya is the NPC with the highest favorability of every player.
The standard for measuring favorability is now from one to ten hearts, with a total of ten levels. Zhao Mingwei is not quite sure how to improve these levels. The forum brothers in Holy Spirit are also discussing this.
Freya is undoubtedly the highest level of ten hearts.
The person who has the second highest favorability towards Zhao Mingwei is Ye Lina. If Freya has ten full hearts, Ye Lina has eight and a half, and is evaluated as "an absolutely dependent person."
The third NPC with the highest favorability is... Wen Enna.
The law thief lady has six hearts of affection for Zhao Mingwei, and her evaluation is "a vigilant and attached person".
This favorability statistics system is indeed very convenient, but what most players care about is that when the favorability of NPCs is high, it can bring various improvements to players!
This is the most important system updated by the Holy Spirit this time...it is called the Guardian Spirit System.
Players have a total of three guardian spirit slots. Players can choose NPCs with a favorability of more than four hearts to be their guardian spirits. Up to three can be selected.
Becoming a guardian NPC can grant players certain attribute bonuses, gold coin acquisition rate bonuses or experience acquisition rate bonuses, or some strange, various benefits.
These need to be discovered by the players themselves.
However, although there are three guardian spirits, Freya is definitely the permanent one among the three, because the bonus that one Freya brings to the player is equivalent to that of ten other NPCs.
The effect of Freya as a guardian spirit is the effect of Freya's blessing. The better the Freya's room in the base and the more affluent Freya's life, the stronger Freya's blessing will be.
So although this system is newly updated, in Zhao Mingwei's view, it is an extension of Freya's blessing system. On the basis of the benefit effect that Freya can bring to players, it increases the possibility that other NPCs can also assist players.
Now Zhao Mingwei didn't think much about it and directly put Ye Lina and Wen Enna on his other two guardian spirit card slots.
The effect of Ye Lina's guardian spirit is a significant increase in the amount of mind points gained. Zhao Mingwei feels that he can experience this even if Ye Lina does not become a guardian spirit.
As for the spell thief Miss Wenna, the effect is more common, which is to slightly increase the agility attribute. The increase is about 25 points, which is almost the same as nothing.
Who made Miss Wen Enna a SR-level character? And her favorability level was only at level 6.
"Is there no NPC who can heal the injuries caused by the backlash of the mind energy?"
Zhao Mingwei checked his NPC friend list and found that most of the NPCs were descendants of the God Eater.
The players' nannies and nannies cannot heal this kind of injury because Yelina is not a holy spirit. She has half the blood of the Chaos Island in her body. The players' healing skills may even hurt Yelina.
“Let’s go take a look at the Road to Ascension?” Zhao Mingwei raised his head and looked at the Road to Ascension in the center of Brand Island. In the level 65 version, the Road to Ascension had also been updated.
It is said that you can meet a lot of new NPCs on the road to ascension and take them home, which is also a fun feature of the new version.
