Chapter 549: Passive Skills
"Sheltering from the sand and avoiding the wind," Jie Louwei thought silently to himself.
However, to a certain extent, Jie Fuqi's words were not without merit.
At least there had been a Breakthrough in progress, and it was no longer a situation of complete ignorance.
For instance, things like pretending to be a Magical Girl to get close to someone might actually be effective.
Logically speaking, this kind of roleplay was Mo Qiuli's hobby, but since Nursery Rhyme could accept it, it meant she also enjoyed it.
Luo Jianhua was even more forced onto the pirate ship.
If it weren't for Nursery Rhyme's active promotion, the so-called Magical Girl Alliance could not possibly exist.
In other words, using the identity of a Magical Girl to get close to someone was reasonable.
But Jie Fuqi's casual remark about letting the modern strongest play a Magical Girl was unreasonable.
Was that even human language?
Aside from his strength, he had absolutely nothing in common with a Magical Girl.
He was truly insane.
Jie Fuqi was reviewing [N O V E L I G H T] recent documents at his seat.
"The recent international situation is very turbulent. That woman has set her sights on Europe, and it nearly scared those leaders to death."
The man clicked his tongue in wonder.
Nowadays, the United States had lost its core strength.
The world balance was further shattered.
Everyone worried that they would be the next one to suffer a devastating blow.
The culprit acted recklessly, and there was not even a target to condemn.
The Dragon Kingdom seemed to have not suffered much loss.
However, the modern strongest Esper had been publicly defeated, and the Countermeasure Bureau Headquarters had been entered and exited at will, seemingly suffering huge losses.
Such a major event concerning national face indicated that that woman could not possibly be on close terms with the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, that woman definitely wanted to challenge the entire world on her own.
The key was that she seemed to actually possess that kind of ability.
Under this terrifying pressure, the international tension exceeded that of the Cold War period.
Honestly, it was indeed terrifying.
Even those developed countries were preparing to set aside their conflicts and send requests for an alliance, attempting to unite to resolve the threat posed by Ye Ge.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, she seemed to be doing things that violated peace, and without a doubt, she had been labeled as "anti-human" by those people.
Jie Fuqi could only say that they were courting death.
Having never truly faced Ye Ge, they could not imagine how terrifying that woman was.
The era of relying on weapons and armies to clear obstacles had long passed.
Wanting to rely on an alliance to gather the resources of several major powers to defeat a peerless powerhouse was basically impossible.
Not to mention Lou Wei, he, Fu Qi, could stand in an invincible position just by activating the Celestial Form.
Let alone the unfathomable Ye Ge.
"Ye Ge is leading her Sequence Zero to be active on the European battlefield. Could it be to cultivate those Initial Sequences?"
Jie Fuqi had to examine this question.
This also had to involve another question.
What use was it for Ye Ge to cultivate those people?
She wouldn't really want them to destroy the world, would she?
But it seemed she hadn't indiscriminately killed innocents.
Recalling the "destroy the world" that Ye Ge mentioned when they first met, Jie Fuqi felt a headache coming on.
Now, he could only pin his hopes on that girl who called herself "Magical Girl Tongyao."
If there was really no opportunity to invite her, then he could only conduct a home visit to Mo Qiuli.
Afterward, Jie Fuqi looked at Jie Louwei.
"Sigh, Lou Wei, can we survive this crisis?"
"Once I think of a way to make my strength leap forward, even if we can't reach an agreement then, there will be the option of using force."
Obviously, Jie Louwei was trying to comprehend the Dao.
After being defeated by Nursery Rhyme, he had been thinking about his own shortcomings.
Since he couldn't even defeat Nursery Rhyme, let alone the more oppressive Ye Ge.
This bit of strength was far from enough.
He needed to become stronger, not the kind of slow strengthening, but a leap in hierarchy.
Making a fuss about Mental Power was already meaningless.
That bit of improvement could not affect the battle situation.
Jie Fuqi glanced at him.
"Force? That's truly your style. Having an extra path is not bad, provided it's viable. I think even activating the Five Great Form Techniques is a bit risky."
"So, I need to develop a new Form Technique. Only a Form Technique can achieve a leap in Rank, and it's not impossible to erupt with unprecedented power."
Jie Louwei said calmly.
"The idea is good, but can you do it? I don't have time to accompany you to think about these things, and Fang Ze also has things to be busy with. The possibility of cramming at the last minute is a bit low."
"I will do my best."
Jie Louwei indeed had a few ideas.
The underlying logic of the burst-type Form Techniques of an S-Class Esper was borrowing power.
The Selfless Form was to concentrate the advantages of other aspects of the body into one point to erupt.
The Balanced Form was to temporarily borrow all the body's power and then distribute it evenly.
The Future Form was to borrow the power of one's future self.
The Celestial Form was to borrow the power of the planet.
Then, the new Form Technique could also delve deeper into this aspect.
But the birth of the Celestial Form was already making a fuss on this planet.
Further improvements didn't seem to be able to raise the upper limit much.
After Jie Louwei activated it, he couldn't even defeat Magical Girl Tongyao, let alone Ye Ge.
Therefore, he had to change direction.
Afterward, Jie Louwei walked to the window and looked at the sky.
The Celestial Form borrowed the power of the planet, but a planet was always just tiny dust in the Universe.
Then, could he make a fuss about a higher-level energy source?
For example... that sun.
Its power was much greater than Blue Star's.
The only risk was that setting his sights on it might result in death.
Jie Louwei sighed silently.
The burden was heavy and the road was long.
Three days passed quietly.
Bad news came from the United States.
Byron, the leader of the Sentinel Agency, had been assassinated.
Along with his team, they had evaporated from the world, leaving only the mark of Sequence Zero.
Those who didn't know might have thought it came from Chengdu.
The big shots of various countries were almost all in a state of panic, and only the constantly strengthening security forces could make them feel a little more at ease.
But Ye Yao did not want to pay attention to so much.
Running around for several days, she was almost mentally exhausted.
Sure enough, things like Family Activity still needed to be done in moderation.
Too many times would not enhance the affection between family members.
Which big family goes out traveling every day?
Of course, the main reason was that the System would no longer let Ye Yao spam it.
The Attribute Points rewarded for overly repetitive Family Activity were greatly reduced.
Ye Yao, leading Jie Xialian and the others, had worked frantically for three days, plus the non-stop Magical Girl activities, and only then managed to save up one hundred Attribute Points.
"It's not easy."
The White-haired Loli sighed.
To a certain extent, activating 【Symbiosis】 first was indeed more stable.
But she needed the large-scale events triggered by 【Karma】 more to provide Attribute Points.
There was a saying that money makes money.
Spending 100 Attribute Points would definitely bring in more Attribute Points!
Prioritizing the activation of 【Karma】 was definitely a correct investment.
At worst, she wouldn't activate 【Awakening】 for now.
Ye Yao thought, her gaze looking at the System panel in front of her.
"System, activate 【Karma】."
【Activation successful, consumed 100 Attribute Points】
Ye Yao felt it slightly, but there was no feeling of power surging out.
There was no positive feedback at all.
"Does it need manual operation?"
But next, she discovered a bolt from the blue.
"Damn it! A passive skill!"
