Just as Lin Ye was contemplating his next move, dawn broke.
A star shining with light and heat illuminated the sky, plumting downward, its impact point precisely the abandoned building where Lin Ye stood.
"Is this a welco ceremony?"
Having just arrived here, Lin Ye felt the locals' enthusiasm.
"Oh no! That's a stellar-grade energy weapon! You need to leave here imdiately!"
Martha said anxiously.
In the distance, a team was observing the abandoned building.
"I don't understand. Why let those natives complete the ritual? That's one of the system's foundational rituals."
Delger couldn't comprehend the higher-ups' decision. They could have easily crushed those natives before the ritual was finished. This way, there would have been no need to waste that stellar-grade energy weapon.
"Relax. Even if those natives sacrifice everything, it ans nothing to the system. Even if the system ritual is completed, it won't summon any powerful being. And we just happen to need to draw the system's intervention. The cost is rely one stellar-grade energy weapon."
Commander Kent's eyes flickered with intense malice. He enjoyed watching those insignificant creatures struggle pointlessly, only to crush them completely later.
"I just think it's a bit wasteful. Originally, a single combat squad could have solved the problem."
Delger was well aware of Kent's sadistic tastes. Of course, he didn't care about the lives of those native creatures, but he disliked Kent's thods.
Too inefficient.
"Wasteful? War is the most concrete behavior that embodies the concept of waste. But conversely, for a war, there is no such thing as waste or not. There is only victory or defeat."
Kent watched the dazzling star falling from the sky, revealing a fanatical smile.
But his smile soon vanished.
Martha watched as Lin Ye held the stellar-grade energy weapon in his hand, compressed to the size of a fist. This sight montarily robbed her of her ability to think.
That was a strategic-grade energy weapon, not so scattered spiritual energy drifting in the air.
Lin Ye turned his head to look in the direction where Kent and the others were. He slowly raised his right hand toward that direction. The colorful right forearm of the Information Armor covered his lower arm.
"This is a return gift. Please don't stand on ceremony."
Lin Ye rotated his right hand into a fist, and then the right forearm of the Information Armor vanished.
'... The effect is average. After all, it's a skill just researched. It still needs improvent.'
"Take to your Holy City."
Lin Ye paid no attention to the enemies who survived his return gift. After all, this was just a return gift. He decided to first establish a base, then consider other action plans.
"Yes!"
Martha suppressed her excited emotions, turned around, and led the way.
"Damn it! What the hell was that thing?!"
Kent severed his arm, which had turned multicolored. The combat squad that ca with him was already completely wiped out. Out of the hundred-person team, only two survivors remained.
"It should be so kind of ntal attack related to information flow. The opponent's ntal energy is extrely powerful. We cannot judge his strength based on his spiritual energy tier."
Delger stood beside Kent. He wasn't injured, but his body occasionally produced uncontrollable slight tremors.
"... Before launching the attack, did that system Survivor grab the teor with his bare hands? Was that a ntal illusion?"
Kent used a dical kit to install a new arm. The scene of the opponent grabbing the teor with his bare hands shocked him even more than the subsequent ntal attack.
"Unfortunately, that almost certainly wasn't a ntal illusion. High energy would affect ntal illusions. If he could create a flawless ntal illusion while defending against the teor, then he wouldn't have needed to create a ntal illusion in the first place. And we wouldn't have survived his ntal attack."
Delger understood perfectly well what it ant to grab a teor with bare hands. Precisely because of this, he couldn't believe that a being of Lin Ye's tier would appear in a place like this.
The system maintained a certain fairness in terms of rules. Those natives absolutely had no possibility of summoning an existence of this tier.
"He must have used so kind of one-ti item originating from the system, and he was severely injured under the teor's attack. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let us go!"
Kent imdiately thought of one possibility.
"... You're right. I'll pursue him now."
As the strongest mber of this combat squad, Delger excelled at close-quarters decapitation strikes.
"... No. First, return to base and report the situation. We cannot confirm if the opponent has other ans originating from the system. You pursuing alone might lead to trouble."
Kent turned and began retreating toward the direction of the base.
"Is this also one of your abilities?"
Sitting in the back seat of the sports car, Martha curiously observed the car's interior decorations. The inside of the sports car was a very comfortable space, about twenty square ters in size. The seats were extrely soft, the temperature was pleasant, and a pleasant fragrance floated in the air.
"This is just a ans of transportation. It's also my first ti using this card. It would be even better if it ca with a driver."
Lin Ye took a can of ice-cold cola from the sports car's built-in refrigerator. He suddenly thought of Xiao Bai. As a bionic guide, she was sowhat excessively outstanding.
"Can't it drive automatically?"
Martha didn't understand why Lin Ye still wanted a driver.
"A driver's job isn't just driving. I want a helper to handle miscellaneous tasks for ."
Lin Ye could also control Mutation Creatures to handle miscellaneous tasks, but that would require him to divide his attention for micro-managent. Essentially, he would still be the one doing the work.
"Can I be your driver? Although I don't know how to drive, I can learn."
Martha felt this job had more future prospects.
"No. I need you to help communicate with your side."
Lin Ye looked out the window. That compressed energy sphere was still held in his hand. He was thinking about how to deal with this thing.
When he grabbed this energy weapon, it wasn't actually as effortless as it looked.
First, he used the Falling Rule Fragnt to slow the energy weapon's descent speed. Then, he utilized the ntal network ford by the Parasitic Butterflies that had flown to various locations to analyze and take control of the entire energy weapon's operational principles.
The ntal network was constructed from duplicates of the ntal parasite. Since the main body of the ntal parasite was under Lin Ye's control, the ntal network was naturally also under his command.
This was the parasitic ntal network combat system Lin Ye had researched during this period.
That information flow attack, which served as the return gift, was also transmitted through the parasitic ntal network. During his morning work, Lin Ye had learned a little about the basics of information flow attacks. And he happened to have the Information Armor, which he could use to launch attacks by harnessing its information flow.
"Understood. Then, can I recomnd a driver to you?"
Martha still hadn't given up on this important driver job.
