Now that everything was settled, I had enough ti to focus on my stats. The number of skill points I had was substantial, allowing for a significant power-up. I was beginning to think that this way of earning EXP and skill points was more efficient.
That's why I asked Damien about the location of his gang. I'm pretty sure that soone would take the leadership position, and they would continue to be a problem for society. So instead of victimizing more people , it's better for them to give EXP and skill points.
After utilizing my current power to its full potential, I beca more confident in being bolder now.
I realized that my powers were more than enough to cause significant damage, even when dealing with a weak Gifted individual.
Through my puppet, I use "Mind Eye" which works to see his attributes and learned that he was a Gifted. However, he had quite low power and skills, mainly focusing on physical enhancents and combat mastery.
What truly surprised , however, was the substantial amount of experience points (XP) I obtained simply by eliminating him. Killing that relatively weak Gifted yielded 1000 XP, an unexpected windfall.
I'm not underestimating him; I based my assessnt on our combat abilities and skills. With such a big difference in our combat power, I didn't think he could be a real threat to even in a direct confrontation.
But, of course, I'd have to be as dumb as a rock to pull off a stunt like that in the first place! My combat skills are like my last resort now– only to be unleashed when I've exhausted all other options and my survival depends on it.
[Intense Quick Learning Level 10 —> Intense Quick Learning Level 20]
I prioritized leveling up my "Intense Quick Learning" skill first since it proved to be the most valuable in non-threatening situations. This choice made sense, especially because I intend to acquire additional day to day skills in the future to further add to my arsenal.
[Parallel Processing Level 1 —> Parallel Processing Level 10]
Next, I focused on upgrading "Parallel Processing." This skill was crucial, particularly if I intended to make frequent use of my "Mind-Link" ability.
After last night experience, I understood how useful these two skills could be when used together. Upgrading them simultaneously would help unleash their full potential.
One of the reason I upgraded this skill wasn't solely to control more people but to enhance their reaction ti and mobility as well when I'm in control.
The incident with one of my previous puppets, whom Damien killed, occurred because I couldn't manage both bodies effectively at my existing mastery level. This weakness resulted in the puppet's inability to respond when Damien grabbed and twisted its neck.
My upgraded Parallel Processing would help avoid such a scenario in the future.
Furthermore, "Parallel Processing" synergized effectively with my other passive skills, particularly "Quick Learning."
Dividing my thoughts significantly accelerated my learning speed. This ability allowed to learn more skills at the sa ti. A person can never amass too many skills throughout their lifeti.
[ Mind Link Level 10 —> Mind Link Level 20 ] [ 210 ters ] [ Three Organism ]
I upgraded my Mind Link next to level 20 to increase its range . I know that I'm still restricted to controlling three Organism at the sa ti , but it was alright because I figured out a loop hole on it.
I can cut the connection with my puppet, but I can still leave a command for them. It's like giving them a "smart zombie mode" where they move on autopilot until I reconnect my link with them again. And with Parallel processing, leaving a command for dozens of people would be a piece of cake.
'Purchase Psychic Geography'
[Psychic Geography: The skill to create ntal maps of places and navigate through them ntally, even in unfamiliar territories. ] [10 ters ]
[Psychic Geography level 1 —> Psychic Geography level 5] [60 ters ]
The next skill I acquired was "Psychic Geography," which complented my Mind-Link perfectly. It was support skill, allowing to create detailed ntal maps.
In the beginning, it might not seem too overpowered, but once I enhanced my Mind-Link range to 2-5 kiloters and could control hundreds of puppets, it would beco incredibly useful .
With this skill, I could be aware of anyone within my range, as long as I had mapped the area and rembered their location using my puppets as radar, making it nearly impossible for anyone to catch off guard using conventional ans.
"Now, what to do with the remaining skill points?" I mused to myself. I still have 10 of them, and I'm considering upgrading either "Stone Body," "Quick Phase," or "Complex Cognitive Instinct."
"Suggestion" was out of the question because it required too many skill points to upgrade, and it was already extrely powerful for normal use.
Regarding "Mind Eye," I didn't notice any new options after upgrading it, so I'm planning to level it up to 10 and see what happened. But I had doubts that any new options would significantly enhance my abilities .
'Stone Body is good, as it is my last defense. I an, even that Damien guy died because of gun shots," I mused, thinking that I still have a lot of weaknesses to cover.
'And Quick Phase is good for catching my enemies off guard, but no matter how fast I beco, I can't really dodge a bullet,"
'I only have one option,'
[Mind Eye Level 8 —> Mind Eye 10]
[Complex Cognitive Instinct Level 12.—> Complex Cognitive Instinct Level 20]
Finally, I decided to upgrade this skill because it's more useful for . In fact, the ability to think of scenarios was mainly due to this skill. And now that it had beco stronger, I had also felt my mind becoming sharper. I rembered things that I needed to prioritize, and now I have a better grasp of what I should do.
With all these improvents, my powers had a huge breakthrough again.
This is why I'm always working on enhancing my abilities. While there might be Gifted individuals who are stronger than right now, I know that my constant and rapid growth will make incredibly powerful in the future. Each mission I complete pushes my potential to new heights.
"I am…. inevitable ," I chuckled to myself.
