284: Chapter 168 Dark Energy Shock 284: Chapter 168 Dark Energy Shock Over there, Brother Hero excitedly told Xiao Man about his experiences these past few days.
For instance, he finally managed to cast the Spirit Detection Technique, successfully communicated the last sequence of the Violent Spirit Technique, and felt that his Dark Energy limit had increased again.
Xiao Man knew that this guy had actually just gotten his hands on a Star Network Terminal, but since it had only unlocked the most basic personal information and communication functions, and other modules were inaccessible, he had been feeling stifled.
That’s why, these past few days, he had been looking for excuses to “call” him just to try out the functions of the wristwatch.
Normally, due to the existence of the Gate of Hell, it would be impossible to communicate with the outside world from within Rebirth Island.
But with the Star Network Terminal, things were different.
Its more advanced communication technology could completely shield against the magnetic field interference of the Gate of Hell, allowing communication in and out of the island.
Currently, the only users within the entire Star Network were Xiao Man, Brother Hero, Ye Cang, and Lin Sisi—just the four of them.
Two of them, Brother Hero didn’t find convenient to contact often, so in the end, he would bother Xiao Man all the ti.
Brother Hero’s Star Table was a gift from Mr.
Ye three days ago, while Lin Sisi’s was sothing she had exchanged using her Contribution Value.
Originally, Lin Sisi only had 5 points of Contribution, which she had received as a reward for providing the Dark Energy Formulas for the Little Flas last ti.
But just yesterday, when Xiao Man went to find her, he unexpectedly learned that this girl had developed a new Skill all on her own.
This Skill, unlike the previous Little Flas which were essentially just for show, proved surprisingly useful upon testing.
The Skill was nad “Dark Energy Shock,” of course nad by its creator, Lin Sisi.
Its effect can be roughly understood as “mobilizing and activating the surrounding Dark Energy and resonating with the real world.”
When Xiao Man first tried it, with a light tap of his finger on the tabletop, the entire room trembled, dust fell from the ceiling as if an earthquake had occurred.
This was when he had only used the most basic Dark Energy arrangent and had deliberately lightened his touch.
Xiao Man could feel that if he were to truly apply his full strength, he would certainly be able to shake the entire building down.
The combination of this Skill was also a new form that he had seen so far, and he had no idea how Lin Sisi managed to co up with it.
When Xiao Man asked her, she said she didn’t know either; she was simply bored and randomly arranging Dark Energy during training when she unexpectedly released a Skill.
The Skill is divided into a prefix and a suffix, with the prefix being separately “developed” by Lin Sisi—a fixed Magic Technique made up of the Dark Energy Sequences 216, 213, and 212, with a total consumption of 10 points.
The suffix, however, was perfected by Xiao Man after learning about it.
It could change continuously from the most basic 216, 216, 216, to 216, 216, 215, and so on.
With each level the Sequence increases, the power it exerts grows larger, aning it is a Skill with growth potential.
The only downside is that the Skill lasts for a very short ti, and has demanding requirents for the rhythm and frequency of activation, which ordinary people might not be able to manage.
Nevertheless, it couldn’t hide its power, and for Xiao Man to evaluate, it had at least reached the level of a Purple Skill.
This posed a bit of a dilemma—if the Basic Level white-fla Little Flas were worth only a few Contribution Points, then this Epic Purple Skill would have to be worth hundreds, right?
But the problem was, where would he get so many points?
Fortunately, the growth potential of the suffix was sothing he had discovered and supplented, otherwise, he feared he wouldn’t be able to afford it without 500 Contribution Points.
In the end, Xiao Man first added 200 Contribution Points for the girl, and then tactfully explained to her that due to the scarcity of the Star Alliance’s internal resources, they couldn’t offer so much for an exchange right now.
However, Lin Sisi seed completely unconcerned about these things; she happily stated that she was already satisfied being able to help, without the need for Contribution Value.
Her words made Xiao Man feel a bit guilty, so he imdiately praised her and used the leftover Star Dust from last ti to exchange for a Star Network Terminal for her.
As for whether a blind girl like her would be able to use such a device, that was not a concern at all.
With the Star Rank System, an intelligent program, as an assistant, Lin Sisi only needed to issue voice commands to perform so basic operations on the Star Table.
After all, the Star Rank System was not a private system exclusive to Xiao Man’s Initial Machine; it was the main program of the entire Star Network, with each Star Network Terminal installed with its operating program.
Under normal conditions, however, ordinary terminals would have their computing power restricted to enhance the performance of the Host, which ans their wristwatch assistants would appear much less intelligent than Xiao Man’s Initial Machine.
In this way, Lin Sisi suddenly beca the biggest contributor in the entire Star Alliance.
The conversation with Brother Hero continued, and on the other end of the Star Network, the guy expressed his desire to co in faster so he could test out whether the Violent Spirit Technique could be successfully cast.
“Alright, alright, don’t be too anxious.
It’s almost 9 o’clock.
You can Teleport with them later.
Shutting down and restarting the Shield is really troubleso, plus it consus a lot of Energy,” Xiao Man refused, speaking the truth.
Indeed, restarting the Shield would be very complicated after shutting it down and would consu an enormous amount of power, which could even lead to the electric circuits of the entire underground hall collapsing.
Yes, Xiao Man had now abandoned the small diesel generator he had bought only a few days ago and had connected the base’s electrical circuits with the roots of the World Tree spreading underground, tapping into this huge “generator.”
Although the Star Network Host directly absorbed Energy from the Star Core and had very impressive endurance, endurance and power supply were two different things.
The Energy provided by the Star Core needed to pass through the World Tree for Energy transformation, and sudden large-scale consumption could potentially cause an overload, leading to an Energy interruption.
Therefore, given the current level of the World Tree, it was more than enough to maintain the base operations, but operations like restarting the Shield would stretch its limits.
That’s why Xiao Man had to increase the gang’s population limit in the morning.
Having sent Brother Hero on his way, Xiao Man checked the ti; it was less than half an hour until 9 o’clock.
Everything was ready on his end.
He was only waiting for all the personnel to gather, then he could begin the Awakening of the Star Alliance’s second batch of mbers.
