Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

Chapter 161: Advancing the Warrior Path (3)



The Beta-Grade Physical Strengthening Serum has drained all of his last Academy Points that he still possessed, and now, he was almost close to zero. Arcturus was left with a meager few thousand Academy points after he bought the Beta-Grade Physical Strengthening Serum.

As he injected himself with the Beta-Grade Physical Strengthening Serum, Arcturus experienced the same process as with the Gamma-Grade Physical Strengthening Serum, and it was all over the same thing as his physical dimensions were being refined and strengthened to the Beta-Grade Physical Strengthening Serum.

The process was once again pretty painful, but he was already getting used to it.

[Psionic Energy Attunement has been increased by 1%.]

[Psionic Energy Attunement has been increased by 1%.]

[Psionic Energy Attunement has been increased by 1%.]

[Psionic Energy Attunement has reached Superior (3%).]

As Arcturus was digesting the process of Beta-Grade Physical Strengthening Serum and having his physical capabilities being strengthened to the Beta-Grade Warrior, he received a few notifications from the system that his Psionic Energy Attunement had been increased.

This was already something that he had anticipated a bit earlier, because one of the methods to increase the Psionic Energy Attunement of the Psionics or Psyker was to increase the Grade as a warrior.

The stronger the body of the Psionics and Psyker was, the better the flow of the Psionic Energy in the body of the Professional was. It was one of the best methods, yet it was also a pretty costly one because such things were possible only with some of the most advanced pieces of the Physical Strengthening Serum.

Arcturus let the entire process go by, and it didn't take him that long for the entire physical strengthening to be finished. Once he had reached the Beta-Grade Warrior, nothing significant really happened or changed.

Of course, he could feel the very same thing as previously when he used the Beta-Grade Physical Strengthening Serum and reached the Gamma-Grade Warrior, but that was all.

Still, he knew that the most significant change came after reaching the Alpha-Grade Warrior and Sigma-Grade Warrior, where the benefits from reaching those Warrior Grades were far more notable and noticeable.

Nevertheless, he was very satisfied with the progression on this, because now that he had reached the Beta-Grade Warrior, technically speaking, he belonged to the higher category of the Professionals.

The ones that were basically higher-end compared to the most common rungs of the professionals that could be found everywhere. After he properly digested the gains from the Beta-Grade Physical Strengthening Serum, he believed that his physical strength would be really something to fear.

Suddenly, as he was sitting on the ground, Arcturus started subconsciously rotating his Psionic Energy with the help of the Nuclear Chaos Formula and controlling the Psionic Energy inside his body.

After he had reached the Beta-Grade Warrior and even previously when he reached the Gamma-Grade Warrior, one of the side effects was that, his body could accommodate more Psionic Energy than before.

Not in his Core, but in his body overall.

Warriors were storing most of their Psionic Energy in their flesh, blood, and cells.

The higher the Grade they were, the stronger their body was, the more Psionic Energy they could store in their bodies and use it for combat or other things. This approach had its own advantages and disadvantages if practiced solely alone, but for this reason, most of the Psykers and Psionics would at least try to increase their Warrior Grade.

The benefits that were brought by the expansion of the "storage capacity" of the stronger physical body weren't something that could be disregarded.

Even though the Warriors had far less Psionic Energy than the other types of Professionals, for the Psionics and Psykers, any increase in their Psionic Energy was welcomed and needed.

[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 1%.]

[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 2%.]

[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has reached Level 10 Apprentice - 100%.]

[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has reached Level 1 Adept - 0%.]

Seeing this notification from the system was rather surprising, because he didn't think that he would achieve increased proficiency with the Nuclear Chaos Formula to the point where it would reach the Adept Rank.

Arcturus remembered that his master told him that when he reached the Adept-ranked Proficiency in the Nuclear Chaos Formula, he could start practising the advanced techniques of the Nuclear Chaos Formula.

What pleased Arcturus the most was the fact that with the Adept-ranked Proficiency in the Nuclear Chaos Formula, the consumption of the Psionic Energy would be much lower, which was greatly appreciated.

For the Psionics and Psyker Professional, the consumption of the Psionic Energy was everything and all.

"Well... it seems that I would need to adjust the training regime a bit. The gap between the Gamma-Grade Warrior and Beta-Grade Warrior is rather big..."

Arcturus muttered, though he planned to do most of the training and the entire adjustment period on the deck of the Obscurus. After advancing through the higher grades, the period to acclimate himself to a newfound power was much longer.

Fortunately enough, the facilities on the deck of Obscurus also got some minor overhaul, and the journey to the planet Aquamarine to check on the "Apocalyptic World" that was there would be rather lengthy.

Of course, Arcturus was also deciding when to stop saving fuel and arrive as soon as possible. In that case, they would be there in a few days instead of three weeks, as the Red Queen had predicted.

Arcturus then checked the status screen before dismissing it entirely and went to check on Zehal to see if she was done. She too was going to reach the Beta-Grade Warrior and procured herself Physique Strenghening Serums through her family's connection.

For the Mercantile Clan like Alvix, it wasn't that hard, in fact.

***

Just as he had thought, Zehal had also already reached the Beta-Grade Warrior after she took the Beta-Grade Physical Strengthening Serum, and she was ready to depart.

In fact, in their group, she was actually pretty eager to depart for the planet Aquamarine, after Arcturus told her about the planet and from where he had obtained the coordinates.

If the Mind Flayers are one of the technologically advanced species in the entire Cosmos, generally speaking, there were some distinctions based on the concrete Mind Flayers' thoughts that there was something peculiar on the planet worth researching...

Then it must mean that it was some really nifty piece of technology.

Anything that caught the attention of the Illithids would be of great interest to the Imperium, and at the same time, it was also an unprecedented opportunity for the Voidfuse Company.
