Only when the \[Item] type is randomly selected will there be a chance to draw a mission settlement card.

Old Mei, are you perhaps a fake protagonist!

I'm done for!

Turning to look at Aroshia beside him, he felt that touching her was more reliable…

Aroshia looked over, three seconds of eye contact, expressionless.

Han Xiao shook his head helplessly, rubbed his temples, and comforted himself, thinking, "It's only the first time, encountering some minor setbacks is normal… very normal…"

Drawing the mission settlement card on the first try, Han Xiao knew the hope was slim. Although a specialty was not what he needed most right now, thinking on the bright side, it wasn't bad either.

"Sigh, it would be much easier if the players were here, just issue a mission and have them turn in the mission settlement cards, then I wouldn't need to try my luck."

Han Xiao shook his head and looked at the panel.

\[Please select one of the following three specialties]

\[Fire Affinity: Fire resistance +16%, Fire skill effect +10%]

\[Advanced Mental Fortitude: Mental resistance +35%, Willpower judgment difficulty of mental control skills such as charm, confusion, sensory deprivation, shock, fear, etc. is reduced, and the effect duration is -30%]

\[Cellular Engine: Stamina recovery rate +21%, Stamina +330]

After taking a look, Han Xiao already had a choice in mind. \[Fire Affinity] was suitable for the magic system and had limited improvement for him. The \[Cellular Engine] effect was good, but its practicality was not as good as \[Advanced Mental Fortitude]. Anything with the prefix "Advanced" was generally not bad. Coincidentally, the psychic ability system somewhat restrained the mechanical system's armor, and this specialty could greatly enhance mental resistance.

And it could be used immediately.

After a second thought, Han Xiao suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Why am I getting tankier again…"

Was there really no way to reverse the meat shield attribute! I want a void zone, damn it!!

Counting them, all the rewards had been obtained. Although he didn't get the mission settlement card, the harvest this time was not bad. Two specialties, a character arrival card that felt useless, and more than two million experience and two hundred thousand Enas were considered worthwhile.

Morningstar was smiling at him, his politeness implying a desire to see the mercenaries leave so he could get back to his own affairs.

Han Xiao took the initiative to extend his hand, "Since the mission is completed, we won't stay any longer."

"Okay, if there is another opportunity in the future, I will look for you to cooperate again."

Morningstar smiled and shook Han Xiao's hand.

Suddenly, without any warning, his palm locked like an iron gate. Han Xiao exerted force and suddenly pulled the unprepared Morningstar over.

In an instant, the Void Dragon mechanical suit attached, first covering the helmet. Han Xiao leaned back slightly and slammed forward with a headbutt, the armored forehead hitting Morningstar's eye socket hard.

Bang!

Caught by surprise, Morningstar's vision swam with stars.

The mechanical suit fully attached, Han Xiao activated the Void Dragon's various enhancement modules. The electromagnetic pulse regulator stimulated his body, entering \[Excited] state. Coupled with the attribute bonus of the combat mode, his strength increased by more than a hundred points—not enough with one hit, he followed up with another headbutt, the second hit causing Morningstar to enter a brief state of dizziness.

Taking advantage of the brief opportunity, Han Xiao grabbed Morningstar's head with both hands and released \[Void Ejection], a gray shockwave bursting in his palms!

Boom!

The spreading shockwave instantly turned the luxurious hotel suite into a mess, as if it had been swept by a storm.

"What are you doing?!"

Melos, Sylvia, and the Volga brothers were all shocked!

Heavens, the mercenaries were attacking their employer!

One second they were so harmonious, why did they suddenly attack?!

"You…" Morningstar's resistance was not low. After taking two shots of Void Ejection, he finally regained his senses, his eyes turning pure white. Powerful psychic power pushed everyone away.

He clutched his painfully throbbing head, glared at Han Xiao with hatred, bit his lip, and looked shocked and angry.

He didn't understand why Han Xiao suddenly attacked him, but that didn't stop him from feeling threatened.

"Ah—"

Morningstar opened his mouth, psychic power infused into his voice, the sharp high note like a spear, piercing into everyone's brain, causing a burst of severe pain.

Everyone's vision went black, their view turned upside down, their internal organs contracted and palpitated, and they felt nauseous and giddy. Sylvia was the most vulnerable, clutching her head, her head aching as if her brain would explode into mush in the next moment.

Han Xiao also felt a sharp pain, as if a rasp was scraping back and forth in his brain. The \[Advanced Mental Fortitude] he had just obtained immediately came in handy—he had planned to attack when he chose this specialty, greatly reducing mental damage and negative effects, perfect for dealing with psychic ability users.

After all, he knew everything about Morningstar.

Enduring the pain, he pounced forward, a swift and heavy flying elbow like a battle-axe shattering Morningstar's hastily condensed psychic shield, making a piercing explosion of air, his elbow slamming hard into Morningstar's delicate face.

Smack!

Blood spurted from his nose and mouth. Morningstar covered his bloody mouth and retreated in a panic, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

"Melos, you go block the guards outside the door. Three brothers, protect Sylvia, don't get close."

Han Xiao spoke extremely quickly, his hands also not idle, the armor-clad fist carried a fierce wind, breaking Morningstar's shield again and again, forcing the other party to retreat step by step, unable to release psychic attacks, slowly approaching the dead end.

"What the hell is going on?!" Melos was still in a state of confusion, gritted his teeth, and decided to trust Han Xiao, there must be a reason for doing so.

Bang bang bang…

Melos rushed out of the room, swung the ship-cutting blade, and blocked the guards who came after hearing the news outside the door, the sound of fighting was chaotic.

"You—get! Out! Of! Here!"

Morningstar screamed like a woman, blood flowing from his eyes, stimulating his spirit with some kind of secret method, his psychic power exploded beyond limits. The windows and walls of the room shattered, rumbling non-stop, fragments splashed, dust filled the air, and Han Xiao was pushed aside.

Gaining a chance to catch his breath, Morningstar gritted his teeth and urged his psychic power. All the debris in the room floated into the air, gathering into a torrent, constantly hitting Han Xiao, pressing against his chest, preventing him from approaching easily.

At this time, Morningstar's face was covered in blood, he was disheveled, his gorgeous clothes were covered in dust and blood, and his condition was extremely poor. He had been hammered by Han Xiao and had a concussion, unable to concentrate, his psychic power operating sluggishly.

The next moment, four statues that had fallen on the ground were grabbed by Morningstar with his psychic power. He was like a thirsty person, eagerly pressing the statues against his forehead.

A strange psychic rhythm floated in the air. In the invisible field of vision, the spiritual undercurrent contained in the statue was continuously absorbed into Morningstar's mind, and the depressed psychic power regained its vitality and rapidly expanded.

This was the effect of the statue on Morningstar. The spiritual undercurrent contained in it was a super tonic for him, which could strengthen his psychic power. Like this kind of sacrificial object that had been prayed for for a long time, he could use it to enhance his psychic power - this was a school of psychic ability users, absorbing spiritual undercurrents to strengthen themselves, which was relatively rare, but the side effects were very strong, and they were usually impacted by various thoughts in the spiritual undercurrent, damaging their own sanity.

Seeing this, Aroshia wanted to step forward to stop him, but found that Han Xiao, who was blocking the debris, quietly gave her a gesture, signaling not to act, so Aroshia stopped and watched what happened.

Originally, absorbing the spiritual undercurrent of the statue required caution. Matters involving the spirit must be cautious, otherwise one's sanity would be impacted by the countless thoughts within, but Morningstar couldn't care less now. God knows if this mercenary was crazy, he only knew that if he didn't save himself, his life might be in danger.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

After swallowing the spiritual undercurrent of the four statues like a whale drinking water, the statues fell to the ground, losing all their peculiarities, leaving only a hard shell.

Absorbing the huge spiritual undercurrent, Morningstar's eyes turned red, and terrifying psychic power rippled around him, the air was distorted, the psychic power was so thick that it was almost visible to the naked eye, his head no longer hurt, his waist no longer ached, and his condition returned to its peak, even exceeding the limit.

"You actually beat me like this, I… I'm going to turn you into my mind slave!!"

Morningstar wiped the blood from his mouth and nose, his tone was shrill, gnashing his teeth, like a beautiful woman who had found herself disfigured and was crazy.

Thick psychic power gathered, about to unleash a full blow.

At this moment, Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly activated Hela's character arrival card, and a phantom of a red-haired woman appeared behind him.

\[【Whispers of the Dead】: Deals 3 mental shocks to the target, the damage depends on its own intelligence or mystery attribute (can be specified), the target's overall state is weakened by 15% for three hours, number of uses 2/8]

Dark red energy sprayed from Han Xiao's eyes, through the eye of the armor, directly shooting at Morningstar.

Although he didn't have skills that increased mental attacks, his intelligence was very high, and three consecutive shots dealt considerable damage.

Buzz——

Morningstar felt dizzy for a while, his spirit was hit hard, and he immediately lost control of his psychic power. The psychic power exploded on its own before it could be released, and all the debris also fell.

Blood spurted from his mouth and nose, Morningstar's eyes turned blood red… this was not a skill that stimulated the limit, but the capillaries in his eyeballs burst.

The psychic resistance of a psychic ability user should have been very high, but Morningstar's spirit seemed to be undefended, and was directly hit hard.

The state that had just recovered suddenly plummeted to the bottom, even worse, his thoughts were extremely sluggish, his knees were weak, Morningstar knelt down with a plop, panting, grabbed a statue, and couldn't believe it.

"You, you cheated?!"
