Crash Course for the Initiator

Chen Qiu’s explanation started from the basics.

Currently, there are a total of twenty-four known paths.

[Joy], [Fear], [Compassion], [Anger], [Disgust], [Amazement], [Shyness], [Envy], [Anxiety], [Sloth], [Love], [Hatred], [Greed], [Domination], [Lust], [Loneliness], [Confusion], [Persistence], [Tranquility], [Hope], [Despair], [Agony], [Madness], [Repentance].

Each emotion has its own unique expression and ability.

Understanding the function and ability of each path is essential.

After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.

After Chen Qiu briefly explained to Xu Nian and Su Qingya how each path manifests, he focused on explaining the abilities of [Joy] and [Fear] to Xu Nian and Su Qingya.

“Joy is mainly about finding dramatic and interesting things, and then causing corresponding changes to reality, in order to satisfy one’s own joy needs and goals.”

“Corresponding Fluxweavers often hope that the things they come into contact with will develop in a more joyful direction for them.”

“Therefore, they usually use language to fabricate a fact. If the person being told believes it, then reality in the eyes of the person being told will inevitably develop in this direction to satisfy their joy and goals.”

Xu Nian suddenly raised his hand: “Teacher! Does that mean that the abilities of Joyful Fluxweavers are all like this?”

Chen Qiu was very satisfied with Xu Nian’s title of teacher.

He patiently explained to Xu Nian.

“Not so, after all, emotions are complex, and the expressions of emotions are also complex.

This is just one of the most common ways to express the ability of Joy.

In fact, there are many other ways. Their ability displays all have only one purpose, that is, to make themselves or the people around them joyful, and to achieve their goals in a dramatic and joyful way.”

Xu Nian understood what he meant.

Verbal ridicule is one of the ways to express the ability of Joy, but it is not all of the ways.

The main thing is to achieve the goal in a joyful way.

“What else can be done specifically depends on you to discover.”

Chen Qiu did not explain in detail, after all, it was a crash course and could not be explained so thoroughly and complexly.

When they go to the academy, Fluxweavers on the same path usually explain it to the students.

And Chen Qiu’s path is [Persistence].

Listening to this, Xu Nian instead came up with a crooked idea.

“Since Joy can change reality, can’t we specifically find a specific listener and have them listen to the reality you describe and express belief in it?”

“Of course you can, but you need to pay attention to whether you are in a high state of Joy when you describe it, how much your Joy value is, and the range affected by different star levels.

The reality described by higher-level Fluxweavers will also cover the reality of lower-level Fluxweavers.

At the same time, it also needs to be based on a certain degree of rationality. Particularly unreasonable realities will not take effect.”

“In addition, the reality depicted by Joy is false, and the basic purpose is to influence people’s behavior, so it is not so bug-like.”

Chen Qiu did not deny Xu Nian’s idea and explained it to Xu Nian.

Even so, it was still very bug-like.

It’s just not so omnipotent.

“I understand, teacher. Does that mean that Joyful path are just people who like to have fun?”

“You can say that. After all, it is very easy to make yourself happy, and it will also make your thinking active and your abilities stronger.

Therefore, there is no need to spend a lot of effort to make others happy, and this is the second knowledge point I want to tell you.”

“The source and influence of emotional power.”

Chen Qiu pointed to the projection whiteboard.

“The source and influence will always only have two directions, one is yourself, and the other is others.

It is most rational to choose the direction appropriately according to the path.”

“For example, you, Su Qingya, the best direction for your Fear path is to make others feel fear. This is completely different from Xu Nian’s making himself joyful.”

Su Qingya murmured, “Make others feel fear?”

“Yes, fear is to interfere with reality, that is, to influence reality. By gradually dragging the enemy into fear, you can more easily influence the other party’s reality.

By gradually dragging the other party into death, you can more easily kill the other party and get rid of the other party’s influence on you.”

“The more the enemy fears you, the stronger you become, and you can more easily kill the other party.

At the same time, the other party’s fear can be transformed into your food, killing three birds with one stone.”

“I heard that you went berserk, right?”

Su Qingya nodded.

“What did you feel like at the time?”

“My head was empty, and I just felt like my whole body was shaking, wanting to destroy everything around me.”

“Yes, this is the characteristic of emotions. It’s easy to understand. Fear being too high is like this.

After all, fear means fear. Some people are afraid of losing their minds, and some people are afraid of losing their ability to act.”

“When the emotion value is too high and brings disadvantages, it should be released outwards as much as possible, and when it is too high and brings benefits, it should be directed inwards as much as possible.

This will make you more comfortable when fighting.”

Chen Qiu continued to explain, telling Xu Nian and Su Qingya some important matters.

Xu Nian and Su Qingya both nodded to show their understanding.

Xu Nian thought, and already had some ideas in his mind.

“Can’t the two directions be carried out at the same time?”

“Of course you can. The content in books is rigid. It is most important to respond flexibly according to reality.”

Naturally, there was no restriction on this. It was best to master the degree.

Xu Nian nodded.

Perhaps a Fluxweaver who can handle both directions very well is a truly powerful Fluxweaver.

“You only need to remember not to let your emotion value exceed 90%.”

“Okay.”

Xu Nian and Su Qingya were already very clear about the negative effects of exceeding 90%.

“Then how should we advance in star level?”

“This… have you heard of potions?”

“Huh?”

Xu Nian and Su Qingya were suddenly stunned.

“Could it be that we also need to concoct potions and then digest them?”

“No, no, no.”

Chen Qiu shook his hand: “But it’s not much different.”

The PPT page flipped down.

It stopped on the interface explaining Fluxbeasts.

“Fluxweavers can be called people who have stolen the power of Fluxbeasts to some extent.

Therefore, every Fluxweaver who advances in level needs to capture an emotional core of the corresponding Fluxbeast, but no concoction formula is needed.”

“The emotional core is the heart of the Fluxbeast. Once it is separated, the Fluxbeast will also die.”

“The Fluxbeast does not need the heart of another Fluxbeast to advance in star level.

This is a characteristic of Fluxbeasts, so some organizations may also raise Fluxbeasts.”

Hearing Chen Qiu’s explanation, Xu Nian and Su Qingya also understood.

“When you eat the emotional core, the emotions accumulated by the Fluxbeast will be completely pressed on your body.

If you survive it, you will advance in star level. Of course, there will also be so-called rituals.

After all, completing the ritual in a specific way will indeed reduce the intensity of the emotional release at that moment.

Of course, if you are brave and confident, you can also try to resist it head-on.”

“What if you don’t make it through?” Xu Nian asked.

“The emotion value reaches 100%.”

That is, being transformed into a Fluxbeast.

That was indeed very dangerous.

You would directly stop being human.

Nor would you be a monster.

“Of course, as with tradition, there is also an accumulation process before advancing in star level, that is, learning to obtain emotional energy in the same way as Fluxbeasts.

There are no shortcuts. Be down-to-earth. As long as you can absorb emotional energy without affecting others, it is a good way.”

“Then, how can we judge whether we can advance in star level?”

“This depends on yourself. Your body will tell you the changes and desires at that moment.”
