Mental energy was a kind of energy that had no form or substance to it. Once it was sent out, it was hard for others to detect or defend against it.
Scientists discovered after multiple investigations that mental energy was a strange kind of brain waves.
Once someone awakened the Mental Gene, they would be able to send out these brain waves just like sound waves. There would even be a return echo once the brain waves hit any objects, and the pituitary gland would be able to sense the rebounded brain waves and perceive the surroundings from there. This was extremely similar to the echolocation ability of dolphins.
In addition, when this kind of brain waves was strengthened to a certain extent, it would manifest and could interfere with the thoughts of others, hypnotizing them or even causing them to be trapped inside an illusion.
This was the theory of genetic hypnotists.
Genetic hypnotists, through awakening mythological genes, could use mental energy to hypnotize people. They could cure psychological problems of patients, causing their targets to sink into a deep sleep and even nourishing their targets' hearts and minds.
But similarly, there were some genetic hypnotists who would make use of these methods to control the human heart, all to satisfy the greed in their hearts.
In any case, genetic hypnotists were an extremely rarely seen type of geneticists. Their abilities couldn't be considered extremely powerful or well-rounded, but they were strange and crafty.
However, Feng Lin's felt his heart stir.
The human heart was always the hardest to fathom.
If he could control the ability of mental hypnosis, he could effortlessly pry into people's heart. Wouldn't that be extremely useful?
He would be able to know what others were thinking about in advance. This would undoubtedly prove to be extremely advantageous when one was fighting in psychological warfare.
The inner situation of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was extremely strange. There were all sorts of rumors and several people with ill intents.
Maybe, he could depend on this kind of mental hypnotic abilities to find out some secrets and learn the truth so he could take preventative measures, allowing himself to be set up in a position of invincibility.
When he thought of this, Feng Lin started to search for more information regarding genetic hypnotists.
Although the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was just a genetic potion manufacturer, the educational training modules offered about geneticists were extremely detailed. Hence, there was also information about genetic hypnotists.
"Hypnotism is a kind of mental control. The users first have to have strong mental strength. After that, through language, actions, and body movements, they are capable of releasing their own charisma to build up affinity and creating a strong suggestion, trying to influence the target's mind. Ultimately, they could even control their target's consciousness... The Genetic Hypnotist Qualifications can be classified as hypnotist apprentice, initial-grade hypnotist, mid-grade hypnotist, high-grade hypnotist, and grandmaster hypnotist. The salary for hypnotist apprentice wasn't high. As long as one awakens the mental gene, one can learn some of the more elementary hypnotism techniques. It is different for the official hypnotists, they have to undergo many difficult exams before they can reach the stage where they can control the hearts of people through hypnotism. Only then can they be called an official hypnotist. Initial-grade hypnotists can cause their targets to enter deep sleep and heal the injuries of their psyche! Initial-grade hypnotists have a salary ranging from 100, 000 star coins to a million star coins usually..."
The information in the educational module about genetic hypnotists was extremely detailed.
Feng Lin skimmed over the info and was startled."What? An initial-grade hypnotist can have such a high salary?"
His heart stirred with excitement. If he could become a genetic hypnotist, his mental energy would have killing power. Not only did this mean that he would have one more method to protect himself, but he could even depend on his mental energy to earn large amounts of star coins. This could also be considered a skill in a specialized area.
Once he made a decision, Feng Lin would stick to it.
Although the educational module by the Giant Pharmaceutical Company only had common knowledge about genetic hypnotists, it was already sufficient to the current Feng Lin.
Feng Lin tapped on the module. A projection of a bearded middle-aged man clad in long robes appeared. He sat down cross-legged, and his expression was like an ancient well with no waves in it, tranquil and peaceful as he slowly began the introduction to the module.
"If you want to learn how to become a hypnotist, you first have to understand bio-magnetic fields."
"Bio-magnetic fields?" Feng Lin pondered, feeling that this term was extremely profound.
At this point, the middle-aged man from the projection started to explain."Bio-magnetic fields are a mystery within a mystery. It's very tough to gauge it using machinery, and one can only sense it through the usage of sensitive mental energy. Bio-magnetic fields are a kind of special magnetic field that is made up of a combination of breathing, heartbeat, pulse, and even brain waves of a living creature and would have a unique wave frequency to it. The bio-magnetic field of every human is unique, just like one's fingerprints. If there are a thousand humans, there would be a thousand different bio-magnetic fields. Despite how boundlessly vast the galaxy is, there wouldn't be a situation where there are two people with the same bio-magnetic field. Even for twins, there would still be a difference in their bio-magnetic fields. Hence, what genetic hypnotists need to do is to use their sensitive mental energy to grasp the bio-magnetic fields of humans or other living creatures. After that, through the usage of language, actions, and body language, they could form a mental resonance with the target before finally causing their targets' minds to grow numb. In the end, it would allow them to be controlled. Although this sounds extremely unreliable when speaking of it, the rationale behind it is very simple. For example, the soldier before the war, the admonishment of an army officer, the singing of military songs—all these hot-blooded incidents can stimulate soldiers to enter a feverish and heated-up state where they will fight in combat bravely with no thought of their personal safety. This was also a kind of hypnotism..."
Feng Lin's eyes shone brightly, storing this valuable knowledge deep in his mind.
"Hypnotism emphasizes on not leaving any traces; it's a superior technique. If one intentionally wanted to hypnotize others, it would only cause their target's heart to be filled with wariness. Hence, there are three common techniques that are used often by hypnotists. They are hand imprints, speech, and tools.
"Hand imprints are a kind of unique martial art that can stimulate one's mental energy and use it to cause the consciousness of others to be blurred as one carries out the hypnotism. Speech is a kind of method where one depends on the special pronunciation of words or rhythm to shake the consciousness of others. For example, some of the Buddhist chants from the Ancient Earth Era are famous for being used for hypnotism, granting the effect of enlightenment. As for tools, it means that the hypnotists would use a variety of special tools such as pocket watches, coins, cards... to distract the target's attention before achieving a silent hypnotism effect.
"Although the techniques are different, the logic behind them is the same. With regards to the innate nature of hypnotism, hypnotism simply means using one's mind to smash the mind of others.
"There are three essential points. Firstly, the hypnotist has to grasp the bio-magnetic field of the target. The first point depends on the sharpness of one's spiritual sense. Secondly, one has to unleash their mental energy and focus it on their target through body movements and their voices to create a strong influence. Thirdly, the timing is crucial; one has to find the best timing to smash the defense of the target's mind. All three essential points have to be mastered before one could become a qualified hypnotist..."
When he heard this, Feng Lin temporarily paused the lesson and started to contemplate.
The three essential points of hypnotism sounded easy, but it was anything but easy to achieve them.
No matter how great a person's strength was, they had to learn combat techniques before they could unleash their strength. If not, they were just like a stupid ox.
Similarly, no matter how strong the mental energy of someone, they had to learn the appropriate techniques before they could unleash it.
It was easy to unleash energy, but it was a hundred times more difficult to liberate one's mind.
How should he do it exactly?
Filled with puzzlement, Feng Lin continued to listen to the module.
"There are all kinds of methods and techniques to liberate one's mind. Here, we will introduce one of the most simple tricks—a smile. A smile that comes from one's innermost heart that's displayed on one's face would have a powerful formless influence, causing others to be happy. Smiling can gain you the trust of others. If your expression is cold and you have a poker-face, other people would instantly be wary towards you the moment they glanced at you. If that's the case, the probability of you successfully hypnotizing the target would be greatly diminished. Smiling and physical contact are the shortest bridges to link strangers. By doing so, it would make things easier for you to enter the minds of your target..."
The education module came to an end at this point.
"To liberate the power of the mind, it has to start from a smile."
When he heard of this, Feng Lin suddenly saw the light. He finally understood what was called body language and how to unleash the power of his mind. This was the easiest logic to understand.
He already understood the general truth. Next, what he needed to learn was how exactly could he become a genetic hypnotist.
