I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 92 – Super Electromagnetic Gun

[Diamond-Level Combat Skill: Super Electromagnetic Gun]

Yes, the diamond-level combat skill Lin Yao had seen was the famous Super Electromagnetic Gun. Because of Misaka Mikoto[1], this ability was very famous in some social circles. However, the real Super Electromagnetic Gun would not use coins or tokens as its shells, and its prowess was unimaginable.

[Super Electromagnetic Gun]

[Level: Lowest—Diamond, Highest—King]

[Combat Skill Description: The electromagnetic railgun, also known as a railgun, is a diamond-level combat skill that simulates the principles of electromagnetism. The railgun uses electromagnetic force to launch high-velocity projectiles. It has a much longer runtime than that of weapons with the gunpowder system and can greatly increase the speed and range of the projectile. A really successful railgun has an initial muzzle velocity of 7,000 meters to 8,000 meters per second and can hit targets that are 90 kilometers to 180 kilometers away. It is also extremely effective when it comes to penetrating armor.]

[Note: Railguns are powerful, but one needs to have prior knowledge of electromagnetism before learning to use one. One also needs to have a strong arithmetic ability and the ability to control electricity. It is recommended that martial artists who lack comprehensive ability learn other combat skills.]

The attacking power of the electromagnetic railgun was undoubtedly terrifying. A small projectile with an initial speed of 7,000 meters to 8,000 meters per second could penetrate anything and destroy even tank armor. The launching distance exceeded Misaka Mikoto's 50 meters by far. Even if one had just reached the proficiency level, one could hit enemies located several kilometers away.

This ability had wonderful prospects. Nevertheless, it was also extremely difficult to learn.

The discussions in the forum were mostly cries over failure, and no one seemed to have succeeded in learning it.

Most terrifyingly, learning this combat skill was not something that could be achieved through diligence and training. One needed to have solid knowledge, and this was a headache for this group of martial artists, who were all brawn and no brains.

Lin Yao did not lament this. The higher the level of combat skill or technique, the greater the comprehensive ability needed. Many golden techniques were already very difficult to learn.

For example, the Clear Mirror Swordsmanship and the Deafening Thunder Roar that Lin Yao cultivated. It might seem effortless for him to learn them, but they required either thunder-based or light-based talent. This was enough to shut out 99% of the population.

'The higher the level of the combat skill, the greater the comprehensive ability needed. This won't do. When I have the next tree species, I'll have to give it to the Bodhi Tree.'

Lin Yao, who was facing an urgent shortage of comprehensive ability, had decided. It was not easy to get Bodhi Tree leaves.

'Sigh… Why is the level of the Bodhi Tree that high? There is no ordinary channel to trade for it… Wait a minute. I remember seeing this on the internet before. In order to allow geniuses to grow rapidly, geniuses from the top educational institutions have a chance to come into contact with the Enlightenment Tea, the Bodhi Tree seed, and something else that I can't recall… Merit points… It seems that I can exchange merit points for anything.'

As he had this thought, Lin Yao's eyes lit up, and he immediately downloaded the merit system that Li Shan had told him to install on his cell phone.

After he clicked on it and opened the system, entered his identity card details, and changed the initial password, his personal information soon appeared in the merit exchange system.

[Lin Yao]

[Military Rank: First Class (non-staff)]

[Merit Points: 800]

The merit system interface was very shabby, but many things, such as knives, swords, guns, ammunition, nutrition drinks, and various healing products, could be exchanged in this place. There was even money, houses, and certificates for holding weapons and guns. Unfortunately, Lin Yao's browsing authority might be too low, as he couldn't find the option to trade for Bodhi Tree leaves at all.

'I can't find it here either? Forget it, I won't think about it for now. Even if I find it, I will need a lot of merit points for an exchange. This is not something I can afford now.'

He had no hope of getting this item in the near future, so he stopped mulling over it. Instead, he hollered furiously and repeatedly in a corner of the research institute.

Lin Yao was practicing and venting the frustration in his heart at the same time. To his surprise, the prowess of his roar actually increased when he felt angry.

'What is this? The power of the heart?'

After hollering furiously, Lin Yao felt much more relaxed, and his Deafening Thunder Roar had also improved.

He shook his head in silence. Then, he headed to the orphanage.

Although he was prepared to join the night patrol, Lin Yao was not ready to give up on the orphanage.

'What a pity. The orphanage is already on the right track, but I don't have the money and energy to pay attention to other orphanages.'

As Lin Yao exclaimed, he saw Xiaomeng and Xiaofei in the orphanage. However, the two of them had already forgotten what had happened yesterday. The rest of the people in the orphanage had forgotten as well. This was the doing of the government, as they wanted to erase all traces of the information.

Lin Yao was going to participate in the night patrol, so he didn't stay there for long. After playing with the children for a while, he returned home. However, he had been shut outside.

“What's happening? Where is my family? Mom? Dad?”

No one responded after he knocked on the door, so Lin Yao called them on his cell phone.

“Mom, Dad, where are you?”

“Where else? We're at the new house. The villa the city gifted you is ready. It's located in the Mingyue District. Hurry up, come over!”

“That fast?”

Lin Yao knew the state subsidies included a villa but hadn't expected to get it that soon. Besides, he remembered the pricing of the houses in Mingyue District, which was considered a fairly good location in the city.

'Is the city administration that effective nowadays?'

Lin Yao felt puzzled. In fact, this was a result of what had happened yesterday.

Naturally, everything that had happened in the mysterious land would be reported to the higher-ups. During the report, Squad Leader Zhang, Captain Li, and policewoman Wen Chang had praised Lin Yao greatly in order to get him into their respective teams.

As a result, the higher-ups were now aware of Lin Yao's outstanding talent. In addition, he also had the ability to detect and terrify freaks.

The city was in need of this kind of ability. Although humans had two enemies, the beasts did not pose that much of a danger. Large-scale beasts were capable of destroying cities, but human nuclear bombs and space-based weapons could counterattack from space once they struck. In addition, most of the beasts were being monitored by the satellites in space, and the human army would be mobilized as soon as they struck.

The reason for propagating the danger the beasts posed was to force ordinary humans to improve.

The mysterious land was the biggest crisis mankind had ever faced. This was a terrifying presence that could annihilate a city, something that technological weapons could not deal with.

Thus, Lin Yao's ability to restrain the mysterious land was naturally valued by the city's authorities.

This was also the reason for the increase in Lin Yao's subsidies for his light-based ability.

The light could expel the gray fog, eliminate many curses, and even destroy some of the freaks. This was also the reason the gray fog hadn't been able to permeate Lin Yao's body at the beginning. His power of light had many uses and had played a crucial role in saving the two children. However, the true effect of the power of light had not been displayed through its gradual dissipation later on.

After discovering that Lin Yao had the city's most needed ability, the higher-ups had gone all out to win him over.

As soon as Lin Yao had left the mysterious land, he had requested to re-enter it. The higher-ups had been ecstatic upon hearing this. Despite the fact that he had entered the mysterious land before, Lin Yao was fearless and had even applied to re-enter it. This had completely exceeded the expectations of the higher-ups.

The city had recruited many geniuses, but these geniuses were afraid of losing their lives. Most of them would only enter the mysterious land once a month, and only when they had to carry out a mission. Also, they would rarely risk their lives when they were there.

Someone like Lin Yao, who was capable of restraining the freaks and extremely courageous, was the ideal fighter in their minds.

“This is such a responsible fighter. We must not lose him to the other cities.”

“Do everything you can to keep him in the city.”

“If all the geniuses in the city are brave fighters like him, we won't have to worry about the threat of the freaks.”

In order to win over Lin Yao, they'd rewarded him as soon as possible.

This was why his villa was ready that quickly.

After learning that his house was now in Mingyue District, Lin Yao set out immediately.

However, he did not make it to the house in time. As soon as he walked through the door, his cell phone rang. Policewoman Wen Chang was calling him.

“I'll send you the location. Come here to assemble. Tonight's patrol is about to start.”
