Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 810 Chapter 809 Calculation
"Neuropathy."

Li Zheng chased An An away. Sometimes he really couldn't understand the thought processes of these alien races and always felt that they weren't normal people.

Previously, I was wary of myself and dared not let myself explore my mental world, but now I'm actually going to play this game with myself?

and many more!

Li Zheng suddenly thought, "If she is a severe masochist, then her previous refusal to let others touch her mental world seems to be a normal reaction, because the process of forcibly breaking through mental defenses will bring mental pain."

That is to say...

This girl from the Suffering Clan might not actually distrust herself, but simply enjoy masochism?

Thinking of this, Li Zheng couldn't help but shudder. Even though he had seen it all, he couldn't understand this kind of hobby.

Having just chased An'an away and before he could even catch his breath, Li Zheng's vision blurred, and he found himself in the central hub.

The terminal stared intently at Li Zheng through the screen: "I made you sign a contract with them, and you ended up announcing the engagement as well?"

Li Zheng looked at the terminal: "You have to give me some choice, right? Besides, wasn't that childish engagement orchestrated by me, a senior colleague? Why are you so concerned about it?"

The terminal paused, looking somewhat guilty, and changed the subject: "Ahem, let's not talk about these things. I called you here mainly to share some good news with you."

"What good news? Is there progress on the cultivation technique?" Li Zheng stroked his chin, feeling that there was some hidden story behind that seemingly trivial marriage agreement.

The terminal clearly didn't want to explain the hidden stories, and said in a serious tone: "To be precise, it's not that the cultivation method is promising, but rather that during my research, I combined it with the research report I obtained from the Gene Research Institute to develop an alternative cultivation method... well... let's call it a cultivation method for now."

"Cultivation method?" Li Zheng immediately became interested, putting aside the gossip on his terminal, and asked, "What kind?"

"Let me show you."

The supercomputer screen has changed; the terminal's face has disappeared, replaced by a human anatomy diagram.

"Look, this is the 'middle dantian' that Yan Bujin mentioned."

The chest and abdomen areas were highlighted on the anatomical diagram of the human body, and the terminal explained: "Currently, Yan Bujin and his team have discovered a genetic ability that has no special combat capabilities; it can only increase the upper limit of genetic force. As we all know, genetic force is stored in the so-called middle dantian."

The "middle dantian" was replaced by an empty round bottle, into which liquid was poured until it was completely filled.

“You see, when there is genetic primordial force in the middle dantian, it looks something like this. But to maintain this genetic primordial force, some restraint is needed. You can think of it as an outlet in the middle dantian, and the restraint is the plug that blocks the outlet.”

Li Zheng looked at it for a while and said, "The best plug at present is actually something similar to a 'Dao pattern' formed in the body by genetic ability, which is somewhat similar to the contract of the Destruction Clan..."

He actually suspected that some alien races might be born with certain genetic abilities, such as the loyalty pact of the Destroyer Clan, the ruthless mentality of the Optimist Clan, and the transformation ability of the Black Dragon Clan, etc. "That's right!" the terminal agreed, "And eliminating the genetic abilities in the body can be understood as the plug being pulled out. After the genetic force finds an outlet, it will naturally dissipate."

Li Zheng asked in confusion, "I had Yan Bujin do an experiment before. After the gene ability was cleared, it wouldn't even dissipate if you didn't try to activate the gene's original force."

“Because of tension,” the terminal replied immediately. “Actually, the genetic force sounds very mysterious, but it’s easier to understand if you think of it as water. If you plug the mouth of a bottle of water and turn it upside down, and then remove the seal, it can hold its contents for a long time without leaking out if there is no external influence. The principle of the genetic force is somewhat similar to that, but actively touching it disrupts the delicate balance, causing it to leak out of the dantian like water leaking from the bottle mouth.”

After listening, Li Zheng asked again, "Then where did the leaked genetic energy go? Did it dissipate into the air, or did it enter human tissue and return to its origin?"

"Regarding this, Yan Bujin and his team have also conducted relevant experiments." The terminal accessed the literature and read the data: "Both phenomena exist. Some are dispersed in the human body and absorbed by the tissues, but they do not have any positive or negative effects on the human tissues. The other part may be because the human body, as a container, cannot hold that much, so it enters the air and completely disperses."

The terminal also proposed a hypothesis: "If enough people in the universe produce genetic energy and then disperse it, it might raise the concentration of genetic energy in the universe to a certain level. At that time, people might actually be able to develop cultivation methods similar to those for immortality, absorbing the energy scattered in the air into their bodies for their own use. However, if too many people cultivate, it will also cause the energy to become scarce, thus leading to the so-called 'end of the Dharma era'."

This is just a conjecture and cannot prove that the world Yan Bujin lives in is like this.

A thought flashed through Li Zheng's mind: "Isn't this just the development of an emotional storm?"

From a tiny clump at the beginning, it gradually expanded to the entire universe!

The terminal displayed an avatar, its expression clearly showing surprise: "If we understand it using the cultivation system, genetic force is physical strength, which can be considered body refinement. Then what kind of power is emotional storm?"

This doesn't feel like the so-called "primordial energy" at all.

“Body refinement, Qi refinement…” Li Zheng pondered, and said, “Emotional storms are actually the power of the spirit, and in the cultivation system, spiritual power is called divine consciousness or primordial consciousness.”

The terminal suddenly changed its expression slightly: "You said... if emotional storms can be considered a kind of divine consciousness without a host body, or... or rather, the reason why emotional storms have been expanding uncontrollably is that they have taken the entire universe as the sea of ​​consciousness in the cultivation system, and after completely erasing other life forms in this universe, a so-called primordial spirit will then form from the very center of the emotional storm?"

“No, remove the word ‘Yuan’.” Li Zheng said solemnly, “According to this reasoning, what will ultimately be produced may not be that trashy thing called Yuan Shen.”

Rather—God!

In the context of the cultivation system, it is called the Heavenly Dao.

Although the terminal had long since abandoned its physical body, it still felt a chill run down its spine: "Over the years, I have been ignoring a very important issue, which is that the emotional storm should not still be the same completely chaotic form of thinking as before!"

Perhaps, without his knowledge, the emotional storm had already developed its own consciousness and thoughts?

The odds of winning against such an enemy are extremely slim.
