Chapter 2213 Progress

OmniTech Company's branch.

Earlier, Mo Jiawei and his team returned with Abe Akaya, which they had cultivated in the Zombie Apocalypse, while Sandy chose to stay behind, entangling himself in gathering tree spirit-related information at Ji Haiting's company.

Taking advantage of the lack of clues at the moment, the mission progress was temporarily delayed, and Fang Heng also returned to OmniTech Company's branch to rest.

Due to the temporary malfunction of the passage to the Inner World, the team currently staying in the Inner World temporarily withdrew.

Ji Haiting was still in the control room, directing his subordinates to gather manpower and resources, preparing for the next wave to be transported to the Inner World together.

There was still a lot to do.

"We have been tracking the traces of the tree spirit race. The Federation is also trying to restore the transition internet and perception internet networks. Once we find any clues related to the Wood tribe, we will immediately notify our company."

Seeing Fang Heng yawning, Ji Haiting smiled and said, "Tired? How about I have someone take you downstairs to rest

"Sure, thanks."

Fang Heng felt that staying would not be of much help, so he decided to go offline and rest for a while.

In the past few days, shuttling back and forth between the Inner World and the Outer World, he hadn't had a moment's rest and indeed needed some time to recuperate.

"Cheng Fan, please take Mr. Fang downstairs to rest."

"Sure." One of Ji Haiting's psychic guards nodded at Fang Heng and gestured with his hand, "Mr. Fang Heng, please follow me."

Fang Heng followed Cheng Fan to a guest room on the second floor of the research institute.

"Mr. Fang Heng, I'll wait outside the door. If you have any questions, feel free to ring the bell by the bedside."

"Okay, thank you."

Fang Heng thanked him and, after roughly freshening up in the guest room, quickly went offline and contacted Mo Jiawei.

The situation on the Zombie Apocalypse side was good.

Cleriway replanted Abe Akaya's seed in the Zombie Apocalypse and used the Leaf of Life to rapidly restore Abe Akaya's strength to its juvenile stage.

Then it was up to Abe Akaya to absorb strength and grow on its own.

According to Cleriway's premonition, it would take another two days for Abe Akaya to reach the tier where he could reopen the space passage.

Almost there, just two days...

Fang Heng thought, lying back down on the bed.

After a great battle, one always felt especially exhausted, and he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

When Fang Heng woke up, it was already the next morning.

Outside the door, Cheng Fan knocked on the room's door.

After getting permission, the waiter pushed the food cart in.

"Mr. Fang Heng, your breakfast is ready."

Fang Heng asked, "Where's Director Ji? Is he still in the main control room?"

"He left the research institute late yesterday. Director Ji is preparing to transport a batch of research materials into the Inner World and is in communication with the Federation. There will be a high-level meeting with the Federation later. I heard it's related to yesterday's tree spirit attack on the city. If everything goes smoothly, Director Ji will return with the materials in the afternoon."

Oh...

Seeing the tree spirits' strength growing day by day, the Federation must be quite anxious.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin, contemplating while having breakfast.

Currently, the mission was at a standstill.

Should he go find out more about the tree spirit clan?

Or should he play it safe and wait for Abe Akaya to recover?

Hmm, playing it safe!

Fang Heng decided to play it safe.

The tree spirit clan's strength had greatly increased compared to before.

He needed to be more cautious.

But just waiting around was a bit boring.

Fang Heng's gaze fell on Cheng Fan, and suddenly he had an idea.

"That's right!

Psychic abilities!

After completing the last mission, he chose psychic control as his reward, but he never had the time to research how psychic abilities level up.

Now that he had some free time, he could look into it.

Fang Heng turned to Cheng Fan, "Cheng Fan, I heard that you cultivate psychic abilities? How do you usually train in psychic abilities?"

"Yes, Mr. Fang Heng, learning psychic abilities requires aptitude. The learning difficulty is generally high, and aptitude testing usually starts at the age of five. Only those who reach a certain level will be trained. We were all selected from a young age."

Cheng Fan explained, "Usually, the actual training begins after the age of thirteen. After undergoing two months of basic Awakening training, there will be a year of Control training. After that, there will be a month-long intensive training session every two years."

"Intensive training?" Fang Heng's eyes lit up, "Does the research institute have facilities for intensive training?"

Cheng Fan shook his head, "No, we don't have it here. The facilities for psychic training are only available at the Federation's Psychic Research Institute. We've always conducted intensive training sessions there."

[Hint: The player triggered side mission-The path to unlocking psychic strength.]

Mission name: The path to unlocking psychic strength.

Mission description: Despite mastering basic psychic studies, you know nothing about psychic abilities. Perhaps you can take the first step on the path to unlocking psychic strength by visiting the Psychic Research Institute.

Mission reward: Psychic experience points.

A mission triggered, huh?

Fang Heng was somewhat surprised.

In the past, unless it was a skill advancement mission, there had never been a situation where a mission was triggered.

Seeing Fang Heng's interested expression, Cheng Fan couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fang Heng, do you want to go take a look?"

"Is it convenient?"

Cheng Fan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "It's possible."

Ji Haiting had instructed that Fang Heng's requests should be accommodated as much as possible.

"It might be a bit troublesome. The research institute was jointly established by OmniTech Company and the Federation, so there are many federal teams inside. If you're going, we need to be careful. I suggest you conceal your identity."

"Alright, I understand."

"Just a moment, I'll go arrange spatial transmission for you."

...

The Federal Psychic Research Institute.

After dinner, Cheng Fan led Fang Heng through the transition passage into the research institute.

"For the past two days, the Federation has been on Level 1 alert, closely monitoring the movements of the tree spirit clan. To ensure combat readiness, the Federation is currently undergoing emergency intensive training."

Cheng Fan guided Fang Heng through the hallway.

The Starry Meditation Hall.

The outer wall of the hall was made of single-pane glass, allowing only those outside to see what was happening inside.

The entire hall was crafted to resemble being set within a starry sky.

At the center of the hall, there was a black stone.

Several psychic modifiers were gathered around the stone, their eyes closed in concentration.

"These people all look quite young."

"Yes, they've just started learning psychic abilities. Their ages range from 13 to 15, and they're currently undergoing Tier 1 cultivation in psychic abilities."

Fang Heng looked interested, "Would you mind introducing them?"

"We call the first step of psychic cultivation 'Opening the Mind.'"

Cheng Fan's gaze shifted to a giant stone in the hall as he nodded and explained, "This stone is called the Obsidian Stone, obtained from the spawns. It can stimulate the mind, open the mind, and enhance psychic energy. However, using it comes with significant negative effects, specifically causing damage to the body."
