Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

Chapter 56: Money Burning



One day later, Dojo of the Grandmaster Byrmellir, Starfort Lycurgos, Rylon Star System, Alaric Star Domain, Ruusor Star Sector, Frontier Star Segment, Chronus Expanse

On the next day, after the discussion with his Master, Arcturus immediately went to work and ordered the Red Queen to start buying the resources for the Psionic Cultivation in bulk, using the Universal Credits he had stored.

Aside from that, she had already sold the corpses of the Mind Flayers and the Nautiloid scouting ship of the Illithids to the buyers, all together getting around 200,000 Universal Credits for all of the things.

They managed to negotiate a really good deal for all the things in the inventory. Almost immediately spent tens of thousands of Universal Credits on the Psionic Energy Crystals and other things that would hopefully allow him to reach the Delta-Grade Psyker.

He still had a few hours before he needed to report to the local Office of the Imperial Military, so he decided to use the few hours that he had to cultivate. Reaching the Delta-Grade would require a lot of resources and work, thanks to the existence of the Dimension Empyrean.

Normally, reaching the Delta-Grade for the average Psionics would only require some resources and some time. For the more talented people within the Imperial Military of the Eternal Empire of the Asurya, they would require maximally a few months if they had all the resources needed.

While it certainly hurt seeing so many of his precious little Universal Credits being spent, he knew that they were basically increasing his chances of surviving this entire ordeal to a great degree if he managed to reach the Delta-Grade Psyker.

While the disadvantages of the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability were evident, the benefits were even more clear. With every single advancement in the Grades, the Psyker with the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability would get tremendous power-up.

Also, upon reaching the Delta-Grade, Arcturus would be able to awaken new abilities of the Dimension Empyrean, and at the same time, all of the already existing abilities of the Dimension Empyrean would be strengthened by a tremendous degree.

Much to his surprise, everything that he ordered was delivered to him in a few hours in fact, which was surprising, but not that much, considering that he paid more than fifteen thousand Universal Credits just for the fastest delivery possible.

So, at least, he was content that it was worth it.

Right now, he had retreated to the cultivation chamber within the Dojo of the Grandmaster Byrmellir.

His master had already left the Dojo to discuss some matters together with the Bashar-General Varathar Medes about the upcoming war against the Orkish WAAAGH! and the subsequent invasion by the Mind Flayers.

Grandmaster Byrmellir had already informed him that he would be participating in the fight, especially the one against the Mind Flayers or probably only against them. If the Mind Flayers are led by the Elder Brain, then only Grandmaster Byrmellir could defeat the Elder Brain.

Neverthless, Arcturus was confident that with his master around, then the Mind Flayers won't be a problem. Or at least, he hoped so because if the Mind Flayers's Mind Fleet Leviathan came in full force, then it meant that they were led by the Elder Brain.

A fairly powerful one at that.

One that could destroy the entire Starfort Lycurgos in a few moments.

His master was something that was termed a "Beyonder"; basically, he was Psionics or Psyker that had transcended the limits of his very own mortality and dimension and acceded to the state of the Higher Dimensional Lifeform.

There were only so many of these Beyonders in the known universe.

Arcturus had more than enough Psionic Energy Crystals and some other supportive things that he ordered through the Extranet. He needed several potions and Alchemical Pills to maximize the effects of absorbing the Psionic Energy from the Psionic Energy Crystals.

His master told him, that if he could use the combination of several Alchemical Pills and some Alchemical Potions, then he would be able to get additional value from the Psionic Energy Crystals.

That was because when the Psionics or Psykers were absorbing the energy basically from everything that had the Psionic Enetry in them, there were several factors that were influencing the value of how much they could get from the said item.

The first thing that was crucial was essentially the innate talent of the person who was doing the absorption and that was something that could be very hard to change or influence.

The second thing was the quality of the Psionic Energy Cultivation Method that the Psionics or Psyker was using. If they were not using any or were using some low-grade one that was mainly about the circulation and control of the Psionic Energy, then the results would be the worst.

If someone was using a top-notch Psionic Energy Cultivation Method, then the results would be far better, and one could absorb and use more and more Psionic Energy from the said item. That was because part of it would always be lost during the process of the absorption and assimilation of the Psionic Energy.

The better the Psionic Energy Cultivation Method, the less Psionic Energy would be lost in the process. This was rather a normal thing to happen when someone was absorbing the Psionic Energy from the Psionic Energy Crystals or other objects containing the Psionic Energy.

The third factor was the supportive objects that the people were using to maximize the effects of absorption and assimilation.

This could range from the various Psion Arrays that would smoothen the assimilation and maximize its rate and prevent dissipation of the Psionic Energy to various Alchemical Potions, Pills, and Serums that were used for the same purpose, though internal in the body of the Psionics or Psyker.

Obviously, Arcturus had prepared everything for the endeavor, as he wanted to reach the Delta-Grade for sure... no, not wanted, but he needed to reach the Delta-Grade Psyker before the war.

When everything was prepared, he retreated to the cultivation chamber of the Dojo, where he had several Alchemical Potions, Alchemical Pills, and many cultivation resources prepared for the cultivation season.

He wanted to reach the maximum effect before he would depart for the Office of the Imperial Military with the Starfort Lycurgos and register there according to the orders on the Conscription Order he received from the Imperial Military.

Soon enough, after he started circulating the Nuclear Chaos Formula and the Psionic Energy within his body, he received a notification from the Star Citizen Online System about the increasement in proficiency with the Nuclear Chaos Formula.

Arcturus also noticed that the potency of the Psionic Energy was increasing with every single whisp of the Psionic Energy absorbed from the objects and assimilated into his core.

Part of it was assimilated into the Psionic Core, and part was absorbed by the Dimension Empyrean. There was almost zero loss of Psionic Energy during the process because he took a lot of supplementary things.

He was rather satisfied with the process because he could sense that he was getting stronger and stronger with each passing moment.

Due to the 1st Ability of the Dimension Emyprean, Psionic Energy Realm, Arcturus was able to redirect the Psionic Energy that couldn't be directly absorbed into the Psionic Core into the Psionic Energy Realm.

[Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has reached Level 3 Novice - 0%.]

Several hours later, Arcturus felt that he was rather close to reaching the Delta-Grade Psyker, though, he also felt that it was right now the best time to stop for the time being and properly assimilate the newly gained strength.

His raw power has been increased several times, and he would need at least a few days to acclimatize himself to his powers. He knew that he would need two or three days, before he would be able to conduct another cultivation season and reach the Delta-Grade Psyker.

Arcturus was just one step away from reaching the Delta-Grade Psyker, so he only needed a small push towards the Delta-Grade. However, he was rather satisfied with the situation because his raw power had almost tripled after this cultivation season.

At least the burn in his pockets was entirely worth of it.

One could say that the Psionic Cultivation was just money-burning, which wasn't that far from the truth. If someone didn't hunt for the resources by themselves, then they would need a lot of money to reach the higher grades in the Psionic or Psyker Paths.

All the resources that the Red Queen procured for him were already gone, used by him in this round of practise. He already ordered his ever-loyal Artificial Intelligence to order him another batch of the resources...
