Chapter 493: Transcendent Heavy Treasure: Mind Detector

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Good. It’s not Yuri!”

Seeing Yan Shuangying, Guo Wei was relieved.

In the entire Red Alert series, apart from Yan Shuangying, another hero that should also be evaluated at Perfect was Yuri. He was the bald man with illuminating patterns on his forehead in the image earlier.

His power of controlling one’s mind was doubtlessly one of the most powerful skills in the entire Red Alert series. With it, he could control the enemies and make them fight for him, and he could even change one’s thought process forever.

It was doubtlessly a powerful ability for a settlement, but it was also highly dangerous at the same time.

Yuri himself was similar to Cao Cao in his personality but even more ambitious. In the game, he had tried to control the entire world with his mind-control device.

He was a borderline villain.

If he really came to Dragon City, even Ji Ye might find him troublesome.

“Now, we need to discuss the choice of the Transcendent heavy treasure.”

Yan Shuangying had stunned the foreign heroes with his skill of using the gun during his test. After that, the management team of Dragon City started discussing something else.

Because the yakshas started the advancement test, after destroying their settlement, Dragon City was given the right to choose a heavy treasure. Now that they had the new Red Alert background, they had a lot more options.

There was the Iron Curtain Device, Genetic Mutation Machine, Weather Control Machine, Mind Control Machine, Nuclear Bomb Launcher, etc.

The Iron Curtain Device could turn into an almost unbreakable shield to protect important facilities and buildings.

The Genetic Mutation Machine could make controllable mutations to Ordinary-level people and transform them into Extraordinary-level “Berserkers”.

The Weather Control Machine could control the weather within a certain range and create lightning storms to attack enemies. The Mind Control Machine could control all weak-minded creatures within a certain range.

As for the Nuclear Bomb Launcher, the name was quite explanatory.

But Dragon City already had the Feng Shui formation, the Celestial Seismograph, and the Radiant Pool, and their functions somewhat overlapped with the first three devices.

The Mind Control Machine had a similar effect on the new resources they obtained after defeating the Dense Fog race, which they had named “War Fog”.

So, should they choose the Nuclear Bomb Launcher?

“It won’t be necessary. Our research staff is very professional and very capable. With enough Stones of Civilization, I’m confident that we’ll be able to build the Dongfeng missiles in a month!” Elder He looked at the engineers in yellow vests and said confidently.

“Thank you, Elder He…”

After that, they ruled out some other devices for various reasons, such as the Proton Impact Gun, Mechanical Nano Insect Nest, and Black Hole Wave Destruction Device.

“So, we’re down to the final two choices. They’re the Hyperspace Transporter and the Mind Detector!”

The Hyperspace Transporter could transport the target within the range that was covered by the power of providence.

The Mind Detector could detect any being that was hostile toward the settlement core or a target after it entered the settlement.

Both were very useful.

The Hyperspace Transporter would transport objects and could send a nuclear bomb directly into the enemy’s army in battles.

And then, the battle would be finished.

The Mind Detector was equally outstanding.

Although Dragon City already had the Celestial Seismograph, a heavy treasure that had a detection ability, it might not work on certain enemies. For instance, the Dense Fog race could infiltrate Dragon City through dreams without raising any alarm. The Mind Detector, however, could pick up anything that was hostile toward the settlement.

“Which one do you think we should choose?”

Ji Ye looked around the room.

“Let’s choose the Hyperspace Transporter. We can transport a bunch of top heroes right into the enemy’s territory. That way, we can checkmate them straight away and kill all their commanders.”

Qin Yueyu raised her eyebrows and sounded excited.

“We may not be able to do that yet!

“The Hyperspace Transporter can only transport objects at this point, and it can’t send any living creatures without the corresponding ‘Time Space Protection Device’. To transform that device, we’ll need Transcendent Stones of Civilization.”

Guo Wei shook his head.

“I think the new heavy device should be useful for both Dragon City and Dream City. After all, the sub-settlement has just been set up, and it needs a heavy weapon for protection,” said Elder Meng.

Apparently, the transporter worked on objects only and couldn’t be used in Dream City.

“In that case, we’ll choose the Mind Detector!” Ji Ye agreed with Elder Meng as well.

Mostly because Sigfred, one of the newly-summoned Special heroes, knew some hyperspace technology.

Theoretically, it would only be a matter of time before Dragon City could master the transportation skill.

According to Natasha, the sniper from Urssia, Yuri built the Mind Detector himself, and he was the only one who knew the core technology. Since Dragon City didn’t want to summon Yuri, this was the only way to obtain that heavy treasure.

Splash!

After the decision was made, another yellow ball of the power of providence floated down, forming a 15m tall three-spiked tower-like structure in the conference hall of the city master’s residence. The spikes kept rotating, and the base of the structure was made of pure silver. It had a rather high-tech look.

[Mind Detector]

[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]

[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]

[Description: It can detect targets that have strong hostility toward the settlement within a certain range. The stronger the target’s will is, the wider the detection range.]

Ji Ye left out another reason for choosing the Mind Detector. Hostile creatures weren’t the only ones it could detect; it could also specifically detect hostility toward a specific target.

That was to say, Ji Ye could set himself as that specific person.

In that way, he could detect overly ambitious heroes who had the wrong ideas.

“With the Mind Detector and the dream settlement, Dragon City should be perfectly safe!

“We’ll then set up one sub-settlement in Guobei County and the yaksha territory each. Meanwhile, we’ll use up the remaining Special offerings and Books of Civilization.”
