However, it wasn't a big problem. Lily was only interested in the Spiritual Energy knowledge chain contained within, so she focused on browsing content related to that.
The conference room fell silent. Inoue sat in his chair, staring expressionlessly at Lily's back. No one knew what he was thinking.
More than twenty minutes later, Lily received a game prompt.
[You have unlocked Spiritual Energy Knowledge Chain (2)]
After mastering two knowledge chains, her knowledge chain bonus became—
[All Spiritual Energy active skill effects +40%, Spiritual Energy Resistance +40%, Spiritual Energy Recovery Speed +2/minute]
[Note: Unlock a new knowledge chain, all Spiritual Energy active skill effects +20%, Spiritual Energy Resistance +10%, unlock Spiritual Energy bonus]
This bonus thoroughly delighted Lily. Including the Intermediate Spiritual Energy Mastery bonus, her active skill effects had increased by a full 60%, completely surpassing most Spiritual Energy Prayer Masters.
The difference between advanced professions and advanced professions is actually reflected here.
This is also why many high-level players in the community do not recommend everyone to suppress their level or train multiple professions at the same time. Even if you want to train multiple professions, it is best to wait until your main profession reaches an advanced level before considering it, otherwise, it is easy to be left behind by other players.
Lily's gaze lingered on the Spiritual Energy bonus in the notes.
This bonus is also crucial. It not only increases a player's attributes and strength, but from advanced professions to high-level professions, players, in addition to collecting knowledge chains, will also face a true 'class change,' just like how in DNF, after reaching a certain level, a Ghost Swordsman can change classes to Berserker, Soul Bender, Asura, and other professions.
Beyond the Stars, players choosing different bonus directions also determines the direction their main profession will take in the future.
Spiritual Energy professions are positioned as support, primarily providing buffs in the early stages, but as their level increases and more skills become available, they also have playstyles focused on combat, curses, and healing.
Although she had already unlocked the Spiritual Energy knowledge chain, Lily still didn't stop reading, because she found that this hard drive also contained many other good things, such as an incomplete Spiritual Energy knowledge chain, and some special skills.
Inoue grew a bit impatient: "How long are you going to keep checking?"
Lily's expression didn't change: "What's the rush? If I don't check it thoroughly, how will I know if the content inside is made up."
A few more minutes passed, and Inoue stood up and walked to the terminal.
"It's already been half an hour. If you delay any longer, we won't need to have this meeting."
Alright then.
Lily reluctantly turned off the terminal.
During that time, she had accumulated a lot of knowledge and also unlocked a new skill, Psionic Shield.
[Psionic Shield]: Consumes Spiritual Energy to form a full-body shield (Spiritual Energy * 2), lasting 5 minutes, cooldown 12 seconds.
If she consumed all her Spiritual Energy, she would gain an additional 230 health points out of nowhere, but the power of Psionic Shield was clearly more than that. Before the shield value was depleted, all damage she took would not translate into actual physical injury. Using this to trade blows with enemies, she would gain more than just a little.
It's time to eat again, brothers!
Facing Inoue's gloomy expression, Lily was in a great mood.
"I just flipped through the data on the hard drive. I'm not clear about other places, but the places I did flip through had no problems. I believe in your sincerity in cooperating with me, and I am willing to cooperate with you to draw out that spy."
Hearing this, Inoue's tense expression relaxed slightly.
"Happy cooperation."
"Happy, happy."
Lily was indeed quite happy.
After getting the knowledge chain, she could have completely run away, but she still wanted to see if she could get some high-reward quests from Four Directions.
If there were, she would continue to play along with Four Directions. If not, she would quickly escape with Anya.
After seeing everyone off, Inoue also smiled.
Spy?
He was the spy!
But no one knew this, and no one even suspected him, because before Lily appeared, he was someone who contradicted everyone and had bad relationships with everyone. During this time, his constant opposition to Lily was just a continuation of his previous persona.
After leaving Four Directions, Inoue sent a message to his contact.
In the upcoming operation, Four Directions would impose a network blockade on the entire Lynn, so this would be his last message to the Truth Society for a while.
"Lily, I'll play with you slowly. Once the Guild Leader's side officially begins operations and there's no need to divert the Intelligence Bureau's attention anymore, that's when I'll send you on your way!"
...
Four Directions's work was quickly arranged.
When Lily went to pick up Anya, she found Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky playing with Anya. From the looks of it, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky clearly wanted to extract information about her from Anya.
But who was Anya?
Anya was her eldest disciple! After being instructed by her, Anya directly transformed into a fishing master, playing coy and being ambiguous to the extreme, so much so that Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky was busy for two hours, buying food for Anya, running errands to buy groceries for Anya, and in the end, he still didn't get any useful information.
"I swear I can't even fool a child!"
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky gnashed his teeth in anger, but could only continue to feign being a gentle gentleman.
No pain, no gain!
Soon, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky got an opportunity to raise Lily's favorability. It was the second day after meeting Lily.
"I'm currently unable to act freely and need your help to investigate something."
