Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 401: 141. Noland hit me~_6
"I just got almost 100,000 energy points all at once?! Am I seeing this correctly?"
Noland Lee rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't mistaken.
He stared at his fingertips in disbelief.
"Why was it so easy? Why didn't that tentacle resist even a little, at least give me a few slaps or spray a few streams of black water? It felt like it had completely given up resisting..."
Noland looked at the place where the tentacle had disappeared and muttered the words, "collect soul fragments".
[Soul Strength +36 points.]
"This is odd, the abundance of the spoils of the war doesn't match the difficulty of the battle. There must be something off. The way the tentacle gave up resisting feels very strange. Let me think this over..."
Noland didn't let the sudden windfall of energy points get to his head.
He calmed himself down and started analyzing the series of events.
First, the standard deconstruction of "Shubick's Incomplete Tentacle" requires 100,000 energy points. The harmless deconstruction improves this tenfold, reaching 1 million energy points.
Previously, Noland had spent 10,000 energy points, raising the progress of deconstruction to 1%.
Now, he had destroyed a "Shubick's Incomplete Tentacle".
When the system rewards energy points, it always calculates them based on the energy needed for regular deconstruction.
99% of 100,000 are 99,000 energy points.
There's no problem with the system rewarding 99,000 energy points.
Noland took these energy points with a clear conscience.
The 36 points of soul strength he received also made sense. This is exactly 20%
of the target's soul strength, which matches the 20% completeness of "Soul Collection".
Therefore, the system wasn't mistaken about the rewards, Noland really did receive 99,000 energy points and 36 points of soul strength.
But was the battle process too easy?
Noland always felt uneasy; he had an illusion that his efforts weren't proportionate to his rewards.
He pulled up the information he had deconstructed and looked it over seriously as an uneasy feeling settled into his heart.
He was starting to understand what was going on.
There was a feature on the panel called "Damage Transfer".
[Damage Transfer]
The offspring of the space pollution are both independent entities and a part of the main body of the space pollution.
After the descendant dies, the damage you inflict on it will be transferred to the Shubick descendant tribal leader that resides within the pollution zone. After the death of the Shubick descendant tribal leader, all damage it has taken will be transferred to Shubick's main body that is deep within outer space.
The damage transferred by "Damage Transfer" can trigger "Starry Skin Texture", permanently increasing the resistance of damaged but not killed Shubick descendants and their main body against this type of damage.
It was the "Damage Transfer" and "Starry Skin Texture" features that were causing trouble.
Incomplete tentacles are not truly independent.
They are actually extensions of Shubick's main body.
After Noland received a small part of the panel information, he thought that by using mental magic to destroy a tentacle, it would only kill that one target and not affect Shubick's main body.
At that time, he was excited about being able to outsmart Shubick.
Now, it seems that extraterrestrial space pollution is much more sinister than he thought, hiding effects of feature combinations like "Damage Transfer" and "Starry Skin Texture".
Noland was sure that the tentacle he had just killed didn't retaliate before being killed; it was very content as it was bombarded with mental magic.
Rather than considering this behavior masochistic, it's better to say that it completely gave up resistance, helping the Shubick descendant tribal leader evolve and further aiding Shubick's main body to increase its resistance.
Noland took a deep breath and slowly said,
"What a bizarre way to evolve. To boost the resistance of the main body by sacrificing its extensions. Is this an ability that all space pollutants possess, or is it Shubick's unique skill?"
Noland shook his head slightly, clearing his mind of these thoughts:
"But it doesn't matter for now. The fact that killing the tentacles with mental magic will help Shubick improve its resistance is inevitable. I can't pass on this opportunity to farm just because of this side effect. Looking at it from another perspective, it seems like a fair trade. I got the soul strength I urgently needed, and Shubick improved its resistance. Each got something they needed."
Although Noland's panel showed more than 1400 points of soul strength, it was not very useful.
There were still 35 memory fragments he could use for meditation.
Once he completed meditating on these 35 memory fragments from "Noland Lee Jarvis", Noland could gain 35 points of mental attribute value.
The meditation difficulty of these 35 memory fragments wasn't at level 1 anymore; they ranged from level 2 to level 5, and the corresponding soul strength consumption is 2 to 5 times that of level 1.
Noland had done some calculations.
If he wanted to obtain all 35 points of the mental attribute, he would need to consume a total of 3000 points of soul strength, which would take approximately
300 hours.
Faced with such a large expenditure, Noland decided to put it aside for now.
Before laying waste to the Biochemical Soldiers with "Psychic Bombardment", he didn't think "Spirit" had much to offer. It merely allowed him to comprehend more books, cast spells at a farther distance, and improved his energy limit slightly.
But after annihilating the Biochemical Soldiers in the blink of an eye, Noland Lee suddenly felt motivated to boost his "Spirit" attribute.
If everything went smoothly, a trip through the pollution zone would raise his Soul
Strength to 3000 points.
"Let the monster farming begin."
Noland took a glance around while deep in thought. No new enemies appeared
in his magical vision.
He randomly picked a direction and accelerated into flight, transforming into a
white skull.
Suddenly, he felt the sensation of being watched.
Noland Lee stopped flying, reverted to his skeleton form, and became extremely
cautious, as if facing a formidable enemy.
He could sense a gaze piercing through the darkness.
Something was examining him, observing him, contemplating questions about
him.
[A will from outer space is watching you.]
Oh, no. I'm being watched.
Noland suddenly understood what was happening.
It had to be the "Damage Transfer" feature causing this.
After the Level 5 tentacle was killed, the damage caused by mental magic was transferred to the Tribal Leader of the Shubick Descendants, arousing its
alertness.
As the ruler of the pollution zone, locating the source of the damage would be a piece of cake for the Tribal Leader of the Shubick Descendants.
"No, I must flee. This time I failed to detect the 'Damage Transfer' in advance, I
must admit my defeat."
Just as Noland Lee was about to summon Denise to whisk him away, a faintly glowing green tentacle flew towards him.
Noland Lee's alarm bells rang loud and clear. He instinctively dove sideways in
an attempt to avoid the surprise attack.
But the glowing green tentacle halted in mid-air almost a meter away from him.
Noland Lee was baffled for a moment.
What's more critical was that he realized the faintly glowing green tentacle
seemed to mean him no harm.
The tentacle curled back like a human forefinger beckoning him.
Noland Lee was somewhat taken aback.
Seeing his hesitation, the tentacle beckoned at him once again.
Noland Lee swallowed hard and asked,
"Do you wish for me to attack you?"

As if understanding him, the tentacle
beckoned him several times. At the
same time four more glowing
F
tentacles floated over and mimicked the beckoning gesture in front of him. The content is on Popsnovel.com!

What's...
What's this?
Did this boss realize I could help it become stronger and is now throwing itself in
my way to take a beating?
Noland Lee considered himself an experienced gamer, but this was the first time
he had encountered a boss like this.
Fine.
Fine.
If it wants a fight, so be it.
Noland Lee took a light breath, chose a target, and cast "Psychic Bombardment".
[System Message:]
[You have inflicted moderate damage on the "Mutated Tentacle".]
[Passive Deconstruction Activated!]
[You have gained a small part of the target's panel information.]
Mutated tentacle?
Well...
This does look quite mutated.

Previous tentacles were all black, but
this gowning tentacle had tiny green spots on it which should be the
typical sign of mutation. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
Noland Lee didn't care much, kept casting his spell while casually checking the
"Mutated Tentacle" panel.
As he checked the information, Noland was taken aback to the point that his spell
casting motion almost froze!

The being controlling the mutated tentacle was not the Tribal Leader of
the Shubick Descendants, but the
