This armored arm was covered in complicated patterns. The bright red lines were like blood vessels, flowing with light.

Waves of special fluctuations surged out.

Qianxue felt her entire body go weak. Even if she wanted to control her powers to escape, it was difficult for her to concentrate.

This was the suppression ability of the mechanical equipment!

Her beyonder ability was called Mind Tamer, level 9.

This ability was not something that Lin Shan had obtained because of an incident. It was a permanent class that she obtained through the special potions in her family.

The price of becoming a Mind Tamer was that she would lose her sight intermittently.

Of course, she had also obtained the ability to sense the emotions and hearts of her enemies, as well as the ability to modify and control them.

This was a very terrifying extraordinary power.

For example, one second ago, one might have wanted to kill her, but the next second, when her ability is activated, one would inexplicably become at her beck and call, and even make it possible for them to commit suicide.

Therefore, there were many times when she did not even need to make a move against her enemies. Ordinary people did not even have the strength to resist in front of her. Only martial artists with strong mental fortitude could contend against her.

However… No matter how much she thought about it, she could not explain how she had been bested.

Bai Yu was not an ordinary person. Not only did he have the strong mental fortitude, but he also had Purification, which could be called a cheating type of genius secret technique. He also had combat-type mechanical equipment that could temporarily isolate extraordinary powers!

This b*stard, where did he get such a thing to protect himself!

In fact, in front of Lin Shan’s villa, Bai Yu had already raised his guard when he found out that Purification could withstand Qianxue’s strange ability.

Hence, when he saw her, Bai Yu had secretly added Purification on himself.

At this moment, his entire body felt warm. Under the influence of Purification, his heart was filled with positive thoughts.

This secret technique was really handy!

“Combat-type mechanical equipment is a controlled product, yet you still dare to make a move against an investigator…” Qianxue’s expression was calm as she hid the panic in her eyes and questioned coldly.

“I was acting in self-defense, and…”

Bai Yu interrupted her and changed the topic, “An investigator shouldn’t have the right to use supernatural powers against a legal citizen, right?

“The school and society wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.

“It’s fine if you did it flawlessly, but you just failed.”

He tightened his grip and blood dripped down his fingers. Half of Bai Yu’s body was now covered in bright red armor.

The halo circulated and was filled with a powerful force. The steel armor was still spreading. Soon, it should be able to spread all over her body and cover her completely.

Bai Yu’s other hand, which had yet to be covered by the armor, took out his phone and pressed the play button.

Qianxue’s voice came out of the phone.

“You’re not even a warrior. How could you possibly be immune to my mind games.”

Qianxue’s expression changed when she heard this.

“Let’s just leave it at that. There’s no need for us to fight to the death.

“Although the mechanical equipment can suppress you, I won’t be so arrogant as to make peace with the different companies as an enemy.

“It’s better for both sides to stay out of each other’s way.

“Peace with the enemy isn’t the only thing in Linjiang City.

“However, don’t think that just because I let you off the first time and the second time, you can act like this.

“Put away your tricks.

“If you dare to do this again, I’ll fight back with a different intention.”

Qianxue was thrown to the ground by Bai Yu after he warned her. Her neck was covered with red ligature marks and blood flowed down.

She took a deep breath and wiped her neck, breathing heavily.

This Bai Yu was definitely not the type of bookworm who would only study hard in life.



“That crazy woman.”

Back at the hotel, Bai Yu was soaking in the bathtub. Although he had the protection of the mechanical equipment, the ferocious supernatural power from Qianxue was like a trapped beast attacking him.

On the contrary, Lin Shan’s supernatural power seemed peaceful.

Qianxue might not be strong in actual combat, but her life-saving and sneak-attacking abilities were impressive.

If he was not careful, he would have easily fallen into her trap.

“It’s past twelve.”

After such a commotion, Bai Yu realized that it was already past twelve.

He soaked in the bathtub and sent his spiritual sense into the Brainiac Space.

The mission pane had been refreshed.

[Normal Difficulty: Eating and Sleeping is not allowed when carrying this mission out. You must only read.]

[Requirements: Read an extracurricular mystery book. The textbook is provided by the system. After reading it, write down a reflection paper of more than 2,000 words.]

[Reward: 200 points of knowledge in the Mysticism, one chance for a garbage-quality lucky draw.]



[Elite Difficulty: True knowledge comes from practice, theory is not enough. You have to do the absolute knowledgeable thing and practice what you learned.]

[Requirements: Successfully concoct one potion.]

[Reward: 300 points of knowledge in Potionology, one random potion recipe.]



[Nightmare Difficulty: Face the mystery directly… ]

“The nightmare difficulty still has not changed. Will it only change after I complete it? Or will it be refreshed in a week or a month?”

Bai Yu shifted his gaze to the normal and elite difficulty.

As a steady man, he would definitely not do things that he was not confident in. He would only consider the nightmare difficulty if there was at least an 80% success rate.

“The normal difficulty obviously has a low reward nature. The textbook provided by the system definitely contains knowledge that I haven’t come into contact with before, but can easily absorb and digest.

“But now, the elite difficulty is obviously more suitable for me.”

Bai Yu was about to refine the magic potion Rock Posture anyway, this mission would coincide with what he planned on doing.

“If only I could accept both missions at the same time. The system should consider the situation of a straight-A student like me and increase the volume of the mission!”

Bai Yu took out a few bottles and jars from his backpack.

The last time when the Brainiac’s Space absorbed the demon paper, Bai Yu thought that the storage function had been activated.

In the end, no matter how hard he tried to stuff it, he had even tried many opening spells. However, there was no other way to leave things in or take things out. Only the demon paper could be freely taken and placed.

As expected, it was still very difficult to stuff things into one’s brain.

After cleaning up the materials, Bai Yu greeted the front desk of the hotel and went to his kitchen.

It was already midnight. Apart from the front desk, there was basically no one else.

“The school’s potion concoction class only has one session a month, and we’re only allowed to concoct recovery potions.”

Standing in front of the kitchen counter, Bai Yu could not help but recall the school’s potion concoction class.

Three years of high school. The first and second years of high school were all about learning theories and using video teaching methods to watch others concoct potions. There was no chance to actually do it.

After the third year of high school, the monthly potion-making class was to make the simplest recovery potion.

After making it, they had to hand it in.

It was said that selling these finished products would help the school’s funds a little.

This was understandable. After all, the school did not have enough funds to support its students.

Even when he set up the new potion lab, Bai Yu had donated a million dollars and it was still not enough. So this was the first time Bai Yu had concocted anything other than recovery potions.

The furnace was lit.

Bai Yu looked at the potion formula, opened a glass bottle, and slowly poured the azure liquid into the bottom of the pot.

Twenty milliliters of spirit water.

Spirit water was the base material of most potions. It was neither expensive nor cheap. On the black market, the price was around 1,000 dollars per milliliter.

This bottle was worth 20,000 dollars.

Many ordinary people would earn a year’s salary and never be able to purchase this.

That was why learning Mysticism was a money-hoarding business. Becoming a warrior would bring more fortune.

Although warriors earned a lot of money, most of them could not make ends meet. If they did not have other sources of income, it would be very difficult for them to even gather enough potions to break through to another level.

After the spiritual water entered the pot, the azure blue liquid suddenly boiled, giving off a large amount of steam.

Bai Yu’s face changed.
