Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 403 - 46. Mental Mentor

Chapter 403: 46. Mental Mentor

He could deal with most enemies in the early stage, but the limitation on Arcane Energy operation determined that he couldn’t develop more fields.

Otherwise, with the awesome ability to manipulate [Gravity], even an elementary school student fooling around could create a massive celestial body on the spot.

Would he still need to go through all the trouble of developing the Blood Demon Style? Just charging in would be like a bulldozer going through.

The emergence of the Elemental Communities could liberate Li Aozi’s combat capabilities to a certain extent, a pretty good ability.

This was quite a pleasant surprise.

"Next, I should go get my [Star Realm Echoer]."

The [Echoer] was actually the weakest period for the [Meteor Fall Master], often players would stockpile a lot of experience before switching professions, quickly skipping this stage, rushing to raise their main profession level to 120, and immediately switching to [Bishop], fearing to waste a second.

Because the [Echoer] came with a deadly debuff—prohibiting the learning of extraordinary knowledge.

A level 60 [Echoer] couldn’t beat anyone.

A level 61 [Echoer] couldn’t beat anyone, either.

However, Li Aozi didn’t have this concern.

Elyei Spirit Race, Elemental Structure, Blood Demon Style, possessing "Mythical Creation," Sequential Arcane Energy—players, even those who play excessively, couldn’t achieve such strength within one version.

When he stepped onto the [Echoer] path, no one in the same stage could resist him.

No matter how many fleets came, he could shatter them all.

If he acquired Yawen’s [Object Resonance], his [Bishop] period self could even break the balance of rules.

Unlike the unpopular ultimate profession [Meteor Fall Master], [Bishop] was an extremely popular mid-term profession, without a doubt.

Superb mobility, terrifying output, capable of long-range kiting and guerrilla fighting, close-range bursts that could kill in seconds, it was a must-pick in the current profession competitions.

However, 97% of those who switched to [Bishop] would not continue down this path.

After checking his condition, Li Aozi lay down directly. It took some time to fly over, he couldn’t use the [Overseer Form] for two days, and he needed to adjust his status to face tomorrow’s challenges.

The Valkyrie Fortress was filled with blue cold light, making people feel extremely cold, but for Li Aozi, it was quite nostalgic.

From his player days, there was no place more familiar or more cherished than the Valkyrie Fortress.

For nomadic players, whether it was drinking and bragging at the Heroic Spirit Bar, enjoying a good meal at the Cyber Wolf Restaurant, or even visiting the ’Sweetheart Love Love Love’ district for indescribable services, which would be filtered out by recognizing nets, these were their daily lives across dozens of versions, accumulating over approximately 300 years.

Perhaps it was the emotional scenery, lying on the hard bed, Li Aozi suddenly had a thought:

[Should I have a fixed residence?]

Although he was a lone wolf, he had integrated into this world.

Getting some fixed assets, nurturing a sense of belonging, otherwise, if something happened to him, he couldn’t continue fighting, or maybe find a woman to start a family, preparing for future risks...

Logically, this should be a normal person’s reaction, right?

Li Aozi suddenly frowned, sitting up, he started to review his memory.

[No, of course not!]

[When I first came here, wasn’t this what I thought?]

He counted on his fingers repeatedly, recalling every detail of his arrival.

Now Li Aozi’s [Intelligence] attribute had reached 110.8 points, on Azure Star, it was higher than N4 and Du Zexin.

Moreover, his memory retrieval ability had greatly enhanced, many fine details, previously ignored or forgotten, could now be recalled.

——————————

"Not only was I slapped with a ’Weakness’, but I was also thrown to some random newbie planet, whose prank is this?"

"Who knows which planet I was thrown to, I need to find a mirror quickly to activate the system."

"What a joke, wasn’t Azure Star bombed by the Galaxy Civilization in version 2.5?!"

"I should’ve realized... that white man’s body had no external injuries but still died suddenly, similar to Spirit Monster’s handiwork."

"How do I log off? How do I exit the game?"

......

It seemed like there was no problem.

But Li Aozi still felt something was wrong, rationality told him to trust his judgment, so Li Aozi was even more convinced of this idea.

Returning to the beginning, upon first arrival, he continued to trace back his initial thoughts, inspecting them one by one:

"Now it’s the Galactic Era 220, and the game [Starry Abyss] 1.0 version’s open beta is in Galactic Era 226, even if it was the first closed beta, it’s 222."

"In other words, I am a full 2 years ahead of the version, enough time to prepare!"

"Azure Star’s humanity, technology, soul, and cognition were bound by gravity to the ground, only I came from the deepest part of the Universe’s Starry Abyss!"

"This is an excellent opportunity, Galactic Era 220’s Azure Star, the extraordinary system has just begun, I can certainly make Meteor Fall Master shine with my experience!"

......

Stop.

Li Aozi singled out that sentence, repeatedly watching, reading aloud:

"... ’I can certainly make Meteor Fall Master shine with my experience’?"

"Make [Meteor Fall Master]... shine?"

Li Aozi’s expression grew increasingly peculiar.

"Am I such a selfless person?"

"I should remember very clearly, since I started live streaming, I had already become greedy for profit, sparing no effort for traffic, enhancing the strength and popularity of [Meteor Fall Master], just to bolster my streaming career."

His eyes glowed faint blue, constantly flickering, but Li Aozi remained firm, he had realized something was wrong and actively fought against his thoughts:

"I love Meteor Fall Master, but I shouldn’t be so purely kind. That’s absolutely not me."

Li Aozi’s eyes flickered rapidly with blue light, but he could still clarify his logic.

"I like babies because babies like me... I am not kind, what a joke. Would I work hard for the rise of [Meteor Fall Master] for others?

[My consciousness, no, my mind... has been altered!]

[But, why am I only realizing now—]

Li Aozi paused, looking at the skill bar

[Skills Possessed]: "Genetic Editing Engineering"

......

[Magician]·Limited Effect: "Wisdom without Madness"—you can always switch your [Intelligence] attribute to other attributes, while your [Intelligence] attribute will be equally converted to ’Mental Defense Line’, capable of resisting the same value of mental damage.

......

"Mental Defense Line!"

Li Aozi suddenly sobered.

"The existence of this part of the Mental Defense Line offset some of the psychological suggestions!"

[Someone laid psychological suggestions on me upon my descent into the identity of ’Li Aozi’!]

Li Aozi hurriedly got up, dressed, and sprinted through the streets and alleys of the Valkyrie Fortress. To save time, he directly crossed the gang battle zone, with pulse bullets and plasma rifle sparks brushing past him, but he wasn’t hindered at all.

He kicked the wall, leaping over barriers, vaulting from tall skyscrapers, heading directly towards the core of Valkyrie Fortress.

"That Spirit Monster has a problem!"

The Spirit Monster, and the previous incarnation of ’Li Aozi.’

At least one step implanted a psychological suggestion.

"Using the pretext of developing and reviving [Meteor Fall Master], it led me to actively contact Mingji Humanity, to contact the Outer World—someone deliberately guided me, wanting me to start on this path from the inception."

At that time, he had no mental resistance like ’Mental Defense Line.’

Li Aozi vaguely realized something, landing stably from the high ground, he immediately rushed into a dark alley, turning corners over ten times, finding a witchcraft consultation, and quickly knocking on the door.

Bang Bang Bang Bang!

"Granny Atamash, quickly, it’s urgent! I need help!"

Li Aozi said anxiously.

Squeak—

In the next moment, the door opened, and in the narrow and simple witchcraft consultation, there was only a table, a crystal ball, and a short person wearing a red robe, a [Spirit Medium].

"I haven’t seen you before, a new Spirit Race."

The old woman spoke slowly:

"You came to me directly, naming names, since it’s urgent, I won’t blame the messenger... now, sit down and tell me your troubles."

Li Aozi sat in front of her, and the door behind him automatically closed. The whale oil lamp in the void burned slowly, spreading an intoxicating scent in the air.

"I’ll ask, you answer."

The old woman opened a book, put on reading glasses, and calmly asked:

"Name."

"Li Aozi."

"Hmm, it’s genuine, rest assured, I will keep it confidential."

With a stroke on an invisible form, the old woman pulled out three cards from the void and placed them on the table:

"Choose one based on your feeling."

Li Aozi casually picked one that looked worn, and the old woman turned it over. From the front of the card emerged an ugly, dark, and rotten monster, roaring and screaming at Li Aozi.

"What does this mean?"

Li Aozi frowned.

"[Failure]."

The old woman interpreted:

"Your past is marked by a devastating failure, which led to your birth."

"What does this failure refer to? Business? Physical body? Or love? Or a battle? Or just a failed life?"

"[Failure] has only one interpretation." The old woman stared at Li Aozi: "You, lost everything. Fate, life, and the entire world."

Li Aozi shivered inexplicably, his eyes slightly glowing blue but couldn’t stop himself from asking:

"You mean my former self lost everything?"
