135: Chapter 129 Intermediate Telekinesis

Chapter 129 Intermediate Psychokinesis

As the number of aberrant monsters increased, Wang Ting's accumulated daily settlement of monster points continued to rise, reaching 138 monster points a day.

This quantity was already equivalent to the exchange price for the exchangeable items of the vast majority of ordinary low-level aberrant individuals.

If Wang Ting was willing, he could exchange for one of the items from monsters like the Lizard Hound every day, without having to slowly wait for the accumulation of monster points like before.

"Exchange Intermediate Psychokinesis."

Taiwan Novel Network is super powerful, with a vast library.

When the accumulated monster points exceeded 5,000, Wang Ting didn't hesitate at all and directly chose to exchange for this trait.

Intermediate Psychokinesis was undoubtedly the trait with the strongest enhancement to combat power among the Mother Spider Tyrant's several exchangeable items, and its functions were more comprehensive. After the exchange, it was undoubtedly an all-around strengthening.

As Wang Ting completed the exchange, a tearing pain shot through his entire head.

The intensity of his spiritual power was growing exponentially, as if a mental core condensed from spiritual energy had grown inside his brain.

The mental core was not a physical object, but Wang Ting could truly feel his spiritual power condensing bit by bit, as if it was gradually taking shape at this moment.

The so-called psychokinesis was using high-intensity spiritual power to interfere with and manipulate physical objects in reality.

The application of psychokinesis was a physical application of spiritual power.

At this moment, his perception became incomparably clear, and everything around his body was exposed to the perception of his spiritual power.

With a thought from him, the invisible spiritual power, like extended limbs, immediately swept up the things in the house.

After a burst of clattering noises, everything was swept to the ground by his spiritual power.

He gradually controlled this violent power, chanting "Rise" silently in his heart, and his spiritual power, like giant hands, lifted the items up from the ground.

Cups, knives, pistols, rifles, pillows, chairs, and tables—all these things floated around him, controlled by an invisible force.

With just a slight shift in Wang Ting's thought, these things began to spin around him in circles.

He tried manipulating his psychokinesis for a while, and then restored everything in the room to its original state.

Under his preliminary perception, he already had a general concept of his psychokinesis.

The psychokinesis at this moment was like a seed, containing a powerful force inside, but it had not yet taken root and sprouted, nor had it reached the level of casual control and effortless retraction.

But if he wanted to achieve fine control or form an indestructible psychokinetic protective shield, he needed to constantly train and skillfully use his spiritual power.

Wang Ting thought to himself: If he directly used psychokinesis to manipulate enemies or launch attacks, although it would be more direct, the psychokinesis consumed and the difficulty would increase exponentially. It was better to drive objects with psychokinesis first as it would be more convenient, and he could exercise the strength of his psychokinesis at all times.

Wang Ting returned to the Outpost Camp, and the entire outpost finally had its backbone.

Dong Hu, Feng Bo, and Ren Chuan each acted according to their respective divisions of labor, assigning the personnel of the Guard Team and the militia to various places.

For several days in a row, Feng Bo personally oversaw the training of those 20 people from the Three Wolves Gang.

The 20 people were divided into two teams in total. Together with the team led by Xu Yan, there were 30 people and 3 squads in total, taking turns searching for supplies and hunting Parasitic Fungus Vines in Vine Town.

If the search team's mission in the past was only to hunt Parasitic Fungus Vines, then now there was an even more urgent task: setting traps to capture living Parasitic Fungus Vines.

With the existence of the Tyrant Arena, even living monsters had become resources to make the Outpost Camp stronger.

The difficulty of capturing monsters was obviously greater than the difficulty of killing them.

Moreover, the search squads had no experience in capturing monsters, so the initial captures were not very smooth.

Bai Shou, Xu Yan, and Feng Bo were able to rely on their own strength to form a certain suppression against the Parasitic Fungus Vines, doing it themselves to take down the Parasitic Fungus Vines and then completing the capture.

However, other team members found it difficult to completely suppress them, and could only cooperate with several people or use tools.

Under these circumstances, wanting to capture them on a large scale still posed some difficulties.

But fortunately, the Machinery Factory started to exert its effort.

Inside the Machinery Factory, the members of the maintenance team, along with assisting workers, were modifying things in full swing.

The sound of grinding wheels cutting iron sheets and the sound of welding rose one after another, the sparks of welding kept lighting up, and the workshop was bustling with activity.

Yang Xuyao, who was responsible for organizing the operation of the Machinery Factory, shouted at the top of his lungs: "Dismantle those few obsolete truck compartments, weld the broken parts, and install pulling springs on the truck doors. We must make it so that once that Parasitic Fungus Vine goes inside, it can be banged shut instantly."

Building a trap from scratch might be difficult, but with so many abandoned materials in Vine Town, transforming that truck compartment into a cage like a mousetrap was something they could still manage.

Looking at the animal traps of all sizes inside the workshop, Yang Xuyao muttered to himself: "I just don't know if these animal traps are enough."

"If the materials weren't so poor, getting some capture nets would actually be much better."

Monsters like the Parasitic Fungus Vine were different from ordinary beasts.

They had an extreme number of vine tentacles, and when moving, they were relatively far from the core part.

Even if the vines were caught by a trap, it might not necessarily trap the entire Parasitic Fungus Vine.

Therefore, these animal traps might not be the best choice.

However, Ren Chuan's requirements for them weren't high; as long as these traps were useful, that was enough.

After the Guard Team members finished their training, the efficiency of capturing Parasitic Fungus Vines would be greatly improved, and they wouldn't entirely rely on the traps before them anyway.

With the equipment and traps manufactured by the Machinery Factory, everyone cooperated with each other, and in just three or four days, the exploration team successively made quite a few gains.

The gains were relatively small in the first two days, catching only four or five Parasitic Fungus Vines a day.

In the following days, they managed to catch nearly ten Parasitic Fungus Vines on average per day, and in the end, they even had to trouble the members of the maintenance team to weld several cages specifically used to detain Parasitic Fungus Vines.

However, compared to the number of Guard Team members, the number of these Parasitic Fungus Vines was still a drop in the bucket.

As the Parasitic Fungus Vines began to be put into the Tyrant Arena and the Guard Team members began to fight them to the death, the training effect increased with each passing day.

The first batch of Guard Team members to enter the Tyrant Arena for training was naturally those who originally followed Wang Ting out of Scarecrow Town.

Feng Bo, Dong Hu, and Ren Chuan had all already achieved secondary limit-breaking.

After each of them killed a Parasitic Fungus Vine and experienced the strengthening ability of the Tyrant Arena, they no longer competed with ordinary Guard Team members for opportunities.

When this batch of Guard Team members went up for training, their combat abilities varied in strength.

Some people quickly scattered the Parasitic Fungus Vines to finish the battle, while others engaged in a protracted fight.

The enhancement effects after the kills also had some discrepancies, but the overall effect was significant.

Just like Lin Dagui, who was an old-timer among the Guard Team members, his body conditioning was approaching the level of primary limit-breaking.

After a bout of battle, he truly broke through his primary limit by a stroke of fortune.

Besides Lin Dagui, the three of them—Xu Yan, Xiang Nan, and Qu Ling—also made considerable progress.

Although they had not yet broken through to secondary limit-breaking, they could clearly feel that their physical fitness was still enhancing.

From initially being able to carry three to four hundred catties on their shoulders after primary limit-breaking, it gradually increased to around five to six hundred catties, and the enhancement effect was obvious.

Developing at this rhythm, even without using the blood vine fruit, they would be able to break through to secondary limit-breaking.

Feng Bo led the Guard Team to capture monsters while training.

On Ren Chuan's side, he was urging the farm workers to continue reclaiming farmland and take care of the wheat fields that had already sprouted.

He was also taking inventory of the supplies in the Outpost Camp and preparing things that could be used for trade.

Since Wang Ting had already agreed to expand the scope of trade, next he would not only contact Fisherman Town, but he would also gradually establish connections with places like Potato Town, Corn Town, and Mermaid Lake Town.

As for food, besides wheat, they also needed to plant more things to ensure food security.

Moreover, in these towns, there would likewise be the aberrant monsters that Wang Ting needed.

Dong Hu led his subordinate squad, patrolling outside all day long, constantly inquiring about new news coming from the wasteland, especially about the refugees from the north.

From their mouths, he understood the development progress of the abnormal sandstorm while gathering more population.

Originally, two isolation camps were enough to accommodate three to four hundred people.

Now, according to Dong Hu's progress, Researcher Huoling had to order the villagers in the camp to start building a third isolation camp.

Wang Ting didn't intervene in the detailed affairs of camp management.

He ordered the Machinery Factory to forge a batch of flying knives using materials from monsters and special alloys.

The number of flying knives was not many—just thirty-six.

Hardness and sharpness were the only requirements for the flying knives.

Following his requirements, the workers of the Machinery Factory re-stamped and forged them using some special alloys obtained from trade, and after polishing them, they delivered a set of flying knives.

Each flying knife weighed as much as three liang.

Although it wouldn't easily penetrate steel plates, it was definitely no problem to use them to cut monsters and pierce bones.

Wang Ting kept manipulating the flying knives to polish his psychokinetic state.

In a flash, ten days passed by.

His control over psychokinesis became increasingly handy, and the manipulation of the flying knives also became more and more arbitrary.

Usually, the flying knives were hidden in his macrophage bracelet.

When he wanted to use them, with a single thought, he would take them out, wrap them with silk-like psychokinesis, and with a swish of his thought, they would be instantly triggered, erupting with a shooting speed exceeding that of a bullet.

Their speed was enough to pierce the armor of vehicles.

On the wasteland, Dong Hu led three vehicles, slowly driving northward.

Wearing a bulletproof vest, Dong Hu's figure appeared even broader, just like a fierce and robust beast.

"Brother Dong, the number of refugees nearby is a bit small. We need to go onto the main road; there are more refugees over there."

The person driving reported to Dong Hu.

Dong Hu's gaze swept across the vast wasteland outside, knowing that they had indeed gathered quite a few people wandering around these past few days, and there weren't many people left in this area, so he nodded: "Head north, and by the way, let's scout out what the situation is like near Huangyan Town."

Receiving Dong Hu's order, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove northward.

The three vehicles traveled thirty or forty kilometers like this, and on the surrounding Gobi Desert, the number of zombies was increasing more and more.

At a glance, there were more than a dozen wandering in front of them.

Dong Hu frowned.

He had heard Wang Ting talk about the origin of zombies.

An abnormal riot had occurred in Zombie Town, and a large number of zombies had gushed out.

As time went on, there would only be more zombies on the wasteland, and they would gradually form zombie hordes.

"Be careful, there might be a large number of zombies around."

He grew more and more vigilant in his heart.

If a zombie horde had indeed formed around them, they would have to immediately return to notify the Outpost Camp to make preparations.

The vehicle was driving north when suddenly, gunshots rang out one after another, right behind the distant hillside.

Dong Hu already said in a deep voice: "Someone is shooting. Sneak over that way, and pay attention to concealment."
