Chapter 56 Hellfire Energy Storage Crystal

Liwei still decided to go and see the place where the convoy was attacked. On the one hand, his condition was still good, and he didn't want the hunt to end just like that. On the other hand, he also wanted to see how Yasha was doing.

Although he knew that he might not be able to do anything, he felt unwilling to give up without taking a look.

"I'll go with you," Cai Yutong said immediately after Liwei expressed his intention.

"I'm not going." Qian Long smiled bitterly and said, "My injuries... are not life-threatening, but my combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. I plan to return to the guild."

"Oh, I'll accompany you. I really can't rest assured if you're alone," Benderui said.

"Thank you." Qian Long didn't insist.

Liwei understood their choices. But Benderui and Qian Long looked a bit ashamed, as if they were deserters.

Benderui stepped forward and took out a fiery red energy crystal. "Although I can't go help you in person, this thing might provide you with some assistance."

"Hellfire Energy Storage Crystal?" Cai Yutong exclaimed. Without waiting for Liwei to ask, she explained, "This is a kind of crystal that can temporarily carry flame energy for weapons. It belongs to the category of magic pattern tools."

"Not bad," Benderui praised, saying, "Liwei, I think you have already reached the level of the limit level. You should be able to use this thing. However, be careful when using it. Using it will bring a lot of mental pressure to you. Generally, people at the limit level cannot use this thing, but in your case, you might be able to try."

"Can you be more specific?" Liwei asked with a frown, "What do you mean by 'mental pressure'?"

"Don't you know?" Benderui felt a bit strange.

This might be common knowledge for the evolutionists of this world, but Liwei's previous life did not have these memories, so naturally, he had no way of knowing. There was no need to hide it. Liwei directly said, "I haven't been to school. The psychic academy determined that I had no talent and rejected my enrollment when I was young, so I really don't understand a lot of common knowledge."

"No wonder..." Benderui suddenly realized and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay. It's those people's loss for not letting you into the psychic academy. It's not a good place anyway. Many of the people trained there every year end up in the Hunter's Guild. They are all arrogant and have little actual skill. Not going is better."

The Psychic Academy seemed very intimidating, but it was not really a great place. Some elite academies in the Upper District were okay, but the ordinary ones basically just taught knowledge about evolutionists, and the proportion of students who could complete extreme training was very low.

However, for the poor, it was still a very good opportunity to escape poverty. Some who studied well, even if they didn't have good talent, could eventually learn a lot and take up other positions, instead of being laborers like their fathers, or even unable to read.

Knowing that Liwei "hadn't been to school" and was indeed weak in some common sense, Benderui patiently explained some things to him.

"Magic pattern tools, from the lowest-level magic pattern bullets to higher-level weapons and tools, using them will burden humans. These magic patterns fundamentally require humans to use their own spirit to trigger and control energy that does not belong to them. That's why magic pattern masters are developers of the Will Link. Whether they are users or makers of magic pattern tools, to use higher-level magic pattern tools, they must have a sufficient level of Will Link development to support them."

"Take the engraved bullet for example. I think the bullets you use, Liwei, should be low-level piercing bullets, right? This kind of low-level magic pattern bullet can be used even by ordinary people because the burden is relatively small. But there is still some burden. If one day, Liwei, you try to fire a few hundred shots continuously, you will know the pain of overusing magic pattern tools, that kind of splitting headache..."

"Magic pattern tools are generally rated by energy level. The low-level piercing bullet is the lowest-level magic pattern tool, with only one energy level. Like this Hellfire Energy Storage Crystal in my hand, I made it myself and it has thirteen energy levels. Magic pattern tools above ten levels are generally recommended for people who have unlocked their genetic chains to use. It will be quite difficult for people at the limit level to use them, and they may lose control because the energy load exceeds the limit. So, I said you should be careful."

Listening to Benderui's explanation of these magic pattern tools, Liwei really heard about them for the first time.

He looked at Cai Yutong beside him and asked, "Then... Yutong, are your guns, bullets, and hand cannons also magic pattern tools?"

"The two guns aren't, but the hand cannon is," Cai Yutong replied. "With my current ability, I still can't control the hand cannon smoothly. If I go all out, I can probably fire sixteen or seventeen shots, but any more than that would be very difficult, and I would need to rest for a while."

"No wonder, I didn't see you bombarding heavily during the battle just now. It turns out it's because of this," Liwei realized.

The others looked at each other helplessly. Liwei, this guy, was so strong, but he was so ignorant of basic common sense.

Benderui continued, "The Hellfire Energy Storage Crystal I gave you is a disposable item. After triggering it, the power of the weapon's attack will increase a lot. You should use it well."

"Is this thing... very expensive?"

Benderui waved his hand and said, "It's only five or six purple crystals, nothing much."

In fact, what he said was just the cost price. With Benderui's level of Will Link development, if he put this Hellfire Energy Storage Crystal on the market, the price would be at least twenty purple crystals or more.

"Well, then, I won't be polite with you. I'll take it, thank you very much."

Next to him, Qian Long rubbed his head and said, "What should I give you..."

"No need to be so polite."

"No, I must!" He gritted his teeth and took off a metal wrist guard from his arm, handing it to Liwei.

"This is a gift for you, consider it repaying your life-saving favor."
