"The second surgical method is more troublesome. It requires opening your skull and engraving the alchemy array on the inside of the skull in a position symmetrical to the invisible spiritual seal on your forehead. The advantage is that it will not damage your appearance." Metatron explained to Gao Fei.
road.
"Choose the second option!" Inanna leaned into Gao Fei's ear and persuaded her fervently, "You also know the shape of the spirit seal. It looks like a cult totem. Not only is it ugly when carved on the forehead, it also looks very outlandish.
!”
"If you open my skull, how sure are you that the operation will be successful?" Gao Fei asked worriedly.
"Two hundred percent!" Inanna patted her chest confidently.
Excluding the element of bragging, Gao Fei felt that she should be 80-90% sure, so he reluctantly chose the second surgical method.
"Close your eyes and take a nap. The operation will be over soon."
Inanna sat Goofy in an armchair, stroked his forehead, whispered softly in his ear, and used hypnosis instead of general anesthesia.
Gao Fei relaxed his nerves and soon fell asleep.
While half asleep and half awake, the whispers of Metatron and Inanna came to my ears.
"Girl, do you really like classmate Gao Fei?"
"No way? I just appreciate his character and talent!"
"Haha~ If you feel that way about him, I can help you two connect."
"Don't mess around! I have a girlfriend!"
"What's the point? It's fair competition! Do you want me to apply the 9-level psychic power 'Compiled Memory' to his brain while he is sleeping, and implant a memory of falling in love with you at first sight?"
"Is this what you call 'fair competition'? Bah! Octopus-headed woman, I advise you not to do immoral things, you will be punished!"
Inanna's indignant rebuke made Gao Fei very happy.
This eldest lady...how should I put it, her emotional intelligence is not very high, and her self-righteous way of doing things may occasionally make people uncomfortable, but she has absolutely no choice in terms of outlook on life.
Gao Fei can feel her integrity and kindness from the heart, and she has a crystal-pure and flawless soul.
In comparison, Ms. Metatron's character is much more complicated, and Goofy cannot see through her thoughts.
I don't know how long I slept for, but Gao Fei gradually woke up.
In the haze, he vaguely saw a huge spherical object floating in front of him, with many flexible tentacles dancing.
Gao Fei shivered in fright and suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that the person standing in front of him was Inanna. There was no tentacle monster.
"Gaofei, are you awake?" Inanna looked over with concern, "You look a little ugly! Did you have a nightmare?"
Gao Fei nodded, he had dreamed of a monster just now.
"Is the operation over?"
"It's over, very successful." Metatron took off his latex gloves and said to him with a smile, "Open the astrolabe, bring up your status panel, and see what changes happen."
Gao Fei opened the astrolabe with great expectation, and first noticed that his health had lost 16 points. It seemed that the minor intracranial trauma caused by the surgery had not fully healed.
Immediately afterwards, he discovered that his "Special Abilities" column had an additional item of "Advanced Psychic Explosion".
…
Advanced mind blast: activated as a bonus or reaction action, releasing a mental shock wave to a cone-shaped area 150 feet in front. All creatures within the range collectively suffer 10d6 points of psychic damage and are stunned for 1 minute; those who pass the Will save are not affected by psychic damage and are stunned.
After being dazed for 1 round, you regain consciousness. The difficulty of the saving throw depends on your current highest mental attribute.
…
Compared with "Psychic Blast", this advanced version has been strengthened in all aspects.
The first is the attack radius, which has been increased from 60 feet (20 meters) to 150 feet (50 meters) in a cone spread.
Secondly, in addition to causing shock, it also adds 10d6 psychic damage, which has both field control and killing functions.
The last and most important point for Goofy is that if the recipient succeeds in his Will save, "Psychic Blast" is useless, while "Advanced Psychic Blast" can at least stun the recipient for 1 round.
"Dizziness" is a negative status one level weaker than "Shock".
A dazed creature cannot attack, move, or maintain concentration, but it still has a clear consciousness and can observe and listen to the surrounding activities normally. When attacked, it can dodge based on conditioned reflexes.
Releasing "Advanced Psychic Explosion" can stun the enemy for a round in the worst case. At least it can take the opportunity to escape or interrupt the enemy's spellcasting process, which is good.
Gao Fei suddenly remembered that he also had a specialty called "Ability Specialization", which could be used to enhance the difficulty of saving throws of certain special abilities. He had never had the chance to use it before, but now he just used it to match "Advanced Psychic Explosion"!
Unable to contain his excitement, he immediately reorganized the list of free specialties, adding "Ability Specialization" and locking in "Spiritual Seal".
Sure enough, with the assistance of "Ability Focus", the saving difficulty of "Advanced Psychic Blast" can be counted as a double proficiency modifier, which at Goofy's level is 12!
Unless you encounter an opponent whose perception attribute is extremely high, or you are extremely lucky, the "advanced mind blast" released by Goofy has a very slim chance of being resisted.
Putting away the astrolabe, Gao Fei thanked Metatron and Inanna and said goodbye.
"I almost forgot, this is for you." Metatron took out a crystal ring from his desk drawer and handed it to Gao Fei, "This is the thank you gift that Lord Noah asked me to give to you."
Goofy took it and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. He asked Metatron: "Isn't this Peter Vanderwaal's 'Pope's Seal'?"
"It used to be his, but now it belongs to you."
Metatron smiled mysteriously.
"In this ring, the blood extract of Peter Vanderwaal and some of Lord Noah's brain cells are sealed. After my fusion and processing, it was transformed into an epic magic weapon. As for the specific function...
Haha, it’s up to you to experience it yourself.”
"Thank you, Ms. Metatron, please convey my regards to Lord Noah."
Gao Fei said goodbye to Metatron and Inanna, teleported back to Yaoguang Station, put the new version of the "Pope's Seal Ring" on his hand, and used the astrolabe to identify it. The result surprised him!
