People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 920: Chapter 111 First Mission Execution_2

In fact, it was asking a pointed question: those who cannot focus wholeheartedly, no matter whether they answer with a yes or no, would end up dead.

Therefore, the lethality of the second question was even more subtle, which is often the reason why many Spiritualists find it challenging.

“I’ve looked into the Linggui you cleared, it was a language-based rule Linggui, so the rule you’ve inherited must also be language-based…”

“So what you need to do now, is to set up a logical chain around language…”

Qiqi thought for a moment, then said, “Let me give you a demonstration…”

She took a coin from her pocket and casually handed it to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu instinctively caught it.

“Plop~!”

The next second, his body uncontrollably knelt to the ground, incessantly kowtowing to Qiqi.

After three loud kowtows, Zhao Yu stopped his actions, looking utterly confused.

“What on earth just happened?!”

Shock filled Zhao Yu’s eyes; the uncontrollable feeling was as if his body belonged to someone else, and he had become a mere spectator.

“My rule is ‘borrow’, whoever borrows something from me can evolve according to the outcome I’ve previously set…”

Qiqi said with a faint smile, “If, just now, I had set the outcome to be your suicide, you’d already be dead…”

Zhao Yu was greatly shocked; he had not expected rule-based Spiritualists to be so strong.

“Wait, so the kowtowing was set by you?!”

“Exactly!”

Qiqi nodded, “What makes us rule-based Spiritualists powerful is that we can design not only lethal traps but also various kinds of constraints…”

“To limit a certain Linggui or a person from doing something, achieving the purpose of sealing the Linggui…”

“For instance, if a Linggui’s trigger rule is kowtowing, then we set an outcome that forbids kowtowing in advance, and thereafter lure the Linggui into the trap, basically completing the seal…”

“Sealing does not mean elimination; it merely prevents the Linggui from functioning, but if someone lifts the seal, the Linggui will continue to take effect…”

“Compared to ordinary Spiritualists, our abilities as rule-based Spiritualists are more mysterious and complex, correspondingly our combat strength is also higher…”

“However, there’s one thing to remember, rule-based Spiritualists, no matter how powerful, must abide by the principle of energy conservation…”

“That is, a first-tier Spiritualist cannot place a curse on a higher-tier being, otherwise, they will suffer a backlash…”

Qiqi continued, “Facing some Linggui that are difficult to both eliminate and seal, we would request the assistance of a higher-level Spiritualist to invite backlash…”

“I understand…”

Zhao Yu began to consciously sense the rule system and attempt to design it according to the methods Qiqi explained.

“Am I handsome?”

When Zhao Yu looked at Qiqi and uttered those words, the next second, he lost control of himself and pounced beside her, biting her cheek sharply.

“Uh…”

Both parties at the scene were stunned.

“What kind of bizarre outcome did you set?!”

Qiqi said, her face flushed red.

Zhao Yu felt somewhat embarrassed.

He had initially thought Qiqi, despite her young age and mature demeanor, was also incredibly adorable, and he had wanted her to kiss him.

Of course, the most important thing was he wanted to test the rule he had just set up.

Unexpectedly, Qiqi was at least a second-tier Spiritualist who directly backlashed on him, leading to the outcome of him running to kiss her instead.

Fortunately, he had only set it to be a kiss; if it had been a direct curse to kill someone, the backlash could have killed him.

“I was just experimenting with how to set an outcome, having just learned it…”

Zhao Yu said thick-skinned, feigning innocence.

Qiqi didn’t want to dwell on this issue and could only nod, “It’s better not to mess around like this in the future; if you encounter someone powerful, the backlash can strike you directly.”

“Got it…”

Zhao Yu scratched his head awkwardly.

“Right now, you’re at the beginner level of first-tier, capable of forming two logical chains at most, which means you can ask two questions, each hiding an outcome…”

“My suggestion is that you design more outcomes, preferably intricate enough to make them difficult to solve…”

“The harder to solve, the harder it is to escape your rules, which also means your strength is greater…”

Zhao Yu nodded, “Understood!”

Afterward, Qiqi explained some case studies and techniques for designing logical chains and then declared the lesson over, quickly leaving.

Once she was gone, Zhao Yu immediately activated the system.

When he asked if he could use Technology Points to cultivate Spiritual Power, he received an affirmative answer.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“How do I earn Technology Points, then?!”

[Defeat creatures possessing soul fragments.]

The system provided such a response, leaving Zhao Yu somewhat puzzled. According to Qiqi, every creature has soul fragments, humans do, animals do, and of course, Linggui have the most.

This also meant, other creatures provided fewer Technology Points, whereas defeating Linggui yielded more.

For the next week, Zhao Yu would attend theory classes in the morning and spend the afternoons alone designing logical chains.

Compared to others, he lived rather discreetly.

In that week, the other rule-based Spiritualists made a name for themselves during sparring with their classmates.

Especially Zhou Zhenghua, the boy in traditional attire who had suffered a loss at Zhao Yu’s hands before, had become the strongest presence in the entire class.

During this period, Zhou Zhenghua also wanted to challenge Zhao Yu to a spar, but Zhao Yu did not accept, which drove Zhou Zhenghua crazy.
