Chapter 131 The Drawbacks of Increasing Mental Value
"I hope I'm not that unlucky!" Ru Hua prayed silently, but she wasn't the only one filled with torment; everyone else was too.
Yu Wenwen clasped her hands together and silently prayed, "It must rise, it must rise!"
Wang Fei felt the same way: "It has to go up! I don't want to die yet; I haven't avenged myself!"
Everyone prayed silently, and soon the green light reached their ankles. Then, under the light screen of the mental detection, the number 78 appeared!
Upon seeing this, the surrounding area erupted in cheers, and Ru Hua, Yu Wenwen, and the other two immediately hugged each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"My sanity has really improved! My sister is alright!"
Wang Fei's tense nerves finally relaxed. He gently patted his chest and said earnestly, "I survived again. That's great!"
Just as everyone was happy, Fuxi noticed something was wrong.
"Why didn't it return to 100? Was it just a buffer? Has the root cause still not been eliminated?"
Just as Fu Xi was feeling confused, Li Xue came over with several buckets of instant noodles. "The instant noodles all have vegetables in them, so everyone can eat them without worry!"
"Captain, have some more!" Li Xue handed a bucket of braised beef noodles to Fu Xi, which was topped with lots of vegetables.
Fu Xi didn't speak, but just nodded slightly. At this moment, Tuan Tuan sat down next to him with a smile, holding a bowl of instant noodles.
"Brother, you eat more. I have a small appetite, so you can have this sausage!"
Tuantuan smiled and put a sausage into Fuxi's bowl, but she quickly noticed something was wrong.
"Brother, what's wrong? Why do you seem unhappy?" Tuantuan was a little frustrated, but Fuxi quickly brushed her off.
"Your brother's fine, Tuan Tuan. Don't be distracted while eating, or you won't grow tall!" Fu Xi patted Tuan Tuan's head and smiled.
"No way! Even if I don't grow tall, I'll always be happy as long as I'm with my brother!"
Tuantuan rested her head on Fuxi's shoulder, enjoying this hard-won warmth.
"But I don't want you to be like that. I want you to eat more and live a good life!"
"Then I'll listen to you, brother!" Tuan Tuan said with a smile, burying her head in the food in her bowl.
Soon the two finished their instant noodles, and Fu Xi immediately led Tuan Tuan to the detector.
The green light swept across Fuxi's entire body, and soon the number eighty-eight appeared on the light screen!
"For example, if the flower is a little taller, could it be because I'm eating more vegetables? But it still doesn't feel right; the previous readings were all around 100, weren't they?"
Fu Xi suppressed her confusion and looked at Tuan Tuan, "Tuan Tuan, why don't you give it a try!"
"Okay, bro!" Tuan Tuan smiled and walked to the mental detection device, letting the green light sweep over his body. The number 85 appeared on it.
"Not even a hundred? Looks like we've all run into problems!" Fu Xi muttered to herself.
Finally, Wang Fei and the others also tried it, and fortunately, without any surprises, the values were all above sixty.
Seeing this, Fu Xi also slipped out and went into the cockpit. By now the sky was dark, and Li Xue was steering the Titanic forward.
"Captain, you're here! I'm fine now, you can rest a bit more!" Footsteps sounded, and Li Xue keenly noticed Fu Xi behind her.
The cold wind whistled in her ears, but Fuxi's gaze remained fixed on the paper map in front of her.
"Li Xue, are there any places around here where vegetables are grown?" Fu Xi asked seriously, her brows furrowed, and a response came quickly from the other end.
Li Xue put down her binoculars, smiled, and walked to Fu Xi's side.
"Of course there is! I was just looking for a place like that. There's a large vegetable base in Zhongbei City, about a few dozen kilometers ahead!"
"Of course, I've also considered the worst-case scenario. Even if we don't have any vegetables readily available, we'll definitely have seeds, and we'll grow our own!"
"Hehe, it seems like I don't know how, but I can try to learn!" Li Xue said with a smile.
Fu Xi didn't speak. She checked several guest rooms in turn, and finally came to the deck and used the mechanics again.
[Development of 100 ultra-high-speed projectiles: 0% complete]
Looking at the light screen inside, Fu Xi's face fell as she thought of the remaining materials.
"The remaining materials are completely insufficient for me to mass-produce hypersonic projectiles. It seems I need to find a good opportunity to devour them on a large scale!"
[Congratulations on obtaining 100 ultra-high-speed bullets...]
……
Without hesitation, Fu Xi filled the close-in weapon system with the ultra-high-speed projectile and conducted further research.
"The Barrett's recoil is too great; Li Xue's current body simply can't withstand it. We could make something that can both defend against it and reduce its recoil!"
Fuxi's thoughts soared, and soon she found the answer.
[Inner Armor Development Progress 50%]
[Inner Armor development progress 100%, congratulations on obtaining Mechanic Points...]
……
Fu Xi carefully placed the inner armor away, then immediately began to think again.
"The materials are still usable, and the Titanic's defense and attack are top-tier for my current capabilities. Where else can we improve it?"
Fu Xi quickly focused on Wang Fei, "He's lost an arm, he must be having a hard time..."
……
[Successfully developed an iron arm right hand, mechanical counting...]
[Current Mechanic Level: lv2, 580/1000]
[Basic Attributes]
[Strength Lv4, 860/1000]
[Defense Lv4, 500/1000]
Agility lv4, 500/1000
……

[Deconstruction and Decomposition Level 3, 200/10000]
[Blueprint Scan lv3, 400/10000]
[Mechanical Research Lv3, 500/10000]
"Alright, there shouldn't be any problems here anytime soon!"
Just as Fuxi finished packing her things, Li Xue carefully draped a coat over Fuxi's shoulders.
"Um?"
Feeling the warmth behind him, Fu Xi turned around and saw Li Xue staring at him.
"Li Xue, what brings you here?" Fu Xi looked at her in confusion, but Li Xue didn't care at all. Facing the cold wind, she seemed to be enjoying herself.
"It's windy outside, I'm worried about you!" Li Xue said with a smile.
"I see. But I've also prepared a gift for you!" Fu Xi quickly took out the inner armor and placed it in Li Xue's palm.
"What is this? It looks like a bulletproof vest from TV!" Li Xue asked curiously, carefully holding the gift Fu Xi had given her.
"This is an inner armor, which is essentially a bulletproof vest, but even better. The previous Barrett had too much recoil, which was something I hadn't considered. This was specially made for you!"
Li Xue's eyes were filled with joy, and then she kissed Fu Xi deeply on the cheek, smiling as she said:
"It's nothing really. I just learned how to set bones, but I really like it!"
Li Xue was a little shy, and took the inner armor back to the driver's seat.
"Are you shy?"
"Never mind, let's send Wang Fei's things over first!" Fu Xi picked up the iron hand, pulled herself out of her thoughts, and strolled through the guest rooms.
However, he stopped, which was unusual, as he passed by the mental detection equipment.
"That butterfly bone can't be that kind, I have to try again!" Sure enough, the green light swept across Fuxi's whole body, and the next moment the number sixty-eight appeared on the light screen!
"So this is where the pit is!" During this time, Fu Xi called over all the people affected by the black energy and examined them one by one.
As expected, mental energy decreases over time, and the more special abilities one uses, the more energy is consumed.
"Isn't this a ticking time bomb? Luckily, Boss Fuxi discovered it early!" The sense of relief that everyone had just felt vanished in an instant.
What followed was aversion to butterfly bones and worship of Fuxi!
"Alright, thankfully we discovered it early, otherwise suddenly becoming a Corrupted One would be terrifying. But don't worry, everyone, I've already thought of a solution!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xue rushed over anxiously, "Captain, we've arrived in Zhongbei City!"
