Offside game

In the end, Ji Feng didn't get to play for three days and three nights because Su Yi had to leave after playing with him for a while. Seeing Ji Feng's reluctance to leave CS, Su Yi asked him to stay and continue playing. After asking for Su Yi's address and phone number, Ji Feng planned to go see him the next day, after he woke up, which was conservatively estimated to be after ten o'clock.

In the morning, after getting up, Su Yi, as usual, first practiced the mental cultivation technique. In fact, after practicing for some time, Su Yi could now make the technique run automatically while he slept. Although the effect was only about one-third of what he could achieve by actively running it, it utilized sleep time, greatly increasing the progress of his technique. The effect was also very good; now he only needed about four hours of sleep each day, and it was all deep sleep.

The most important part of daily life and combat in the Yuga civilization, Su Yi will unfold today, which is the most important application of manipulation techniques—controlling seeds.

In the Yuga civilization, seeds are divided into two categories: combat seeds and support seeds. The Yuga people also activate seeds through manipulation techniques to carry out various activities.

Before manipulating the seed, Su Yi had the Kosei create an auxiliary tool. Su Yi didn't know how to translate the name Yuga, but it seemed to be something like a multi-functional ring. However, Su Yi still called it a gene collector. According to the information, it was a ring-shaped object, but its functions were extremely powerful, so powerful that it dwarfed the so-called personal computers on Earth.

Its primary function is that, when worn on a finger, it allows the user to manipulate a probe extending from the ring's surface to insert into the surface of a living organism. This collector can instantly capture and record the organism's genetic data. The genetic data of many organisms within the mother nest was collected by the Yuga using this tool.

Of course, since it possesses memory capabilities, another function of it is similar to a magic scroll. Originally, seed manipulation required the Yuga to mentally construct the form and function before activation. This was incredibly slow, and in practice, it couldn't generate overly complex structures. However, after the Yuga invented this collector, everything became much simpler. Various types and functions of forms could be simulated as genetic samples beforehand and recorded in the collector. During activation, simply finding the appropriate model in the collector was sufficient. Because each person's collector was manufactured by their own Mother Nest, it was perfectly aligned with their will, making seed activation almost instantaneous. This small collector, along with the Mother Nest, is considered one of the ten greatest inventions of the Yuga civilization.

These are the two most important functions of the data collector. In addition to these, the data collector also has some other auxiliary functions, the role of which should not be underestimated.

Another function of the collector is to amplify the sensing range between the mother nest and the owner by ten times. It is also a communication device between the Yuga people and even has the function of a portable hard drive, because the collector can extend a probe to connect to the corresponding interface to read and write data according to the settings of the mother nest.

Because it has so many functions, although it is only the size of a ring, it requires 35 energy units and needs to be stored in the current form of the mother nest for twenty days.

Now, Su Yi gave the order to the Kosei to create a gene collector. He then saw a tentacle emerge from the spherical structure beneath the Kosei's leaf-like surface. The tip of the tentacle gradually swelled until it reached the size of a ping-pong ball, then stopped expanding. Next, the green outer layer began to slowly wriggle. The veins on the tentacle also gradually enlarged, with a faint light flowing within. This continued for about five minutes, then with a "poof," the ping-pong ball-sized sphere exploded, revealing a dark green ring with a faint, flowing light standing quietly inside.

Knowing he had completed the creation of the gene collector, Su Yi reached out and took the ring-like device in his hand. The faint light emanating from it gradually faded, leaving only an inconspicuous dark green ring. The ring was designed with two intertwined branches, giving it a very ancient appearance. The subtle veins on it resembled patterns.

After only a cursory glance, Su Yi had already fallen in love with the ring and put it on the index finger of his left hand.

When Su Yi first put on the ring, it felt a little loose, but then he clearly felt the ring gradually shrink until it fit comfortably on his finger. It turned out that it could automatically adjust its size.

At the same time, the ring seemed to have become a part of Su Yi's body. It was a very strange feeling; the ring was like a living thing, which he could control at will. With a thought, Su Yi saw a needle-like probe extend from the ring—a probe used to collect gene samples. Changing his mind again, the probe had transformed into a tentacle, reaching into the USB port of the T20 next to him. Then, he saw an image like a computer interface flash before his eyes; it was the T20's hard drive data. At his will, he could selectively transfer data and programs between the collector and the computer. It was indeed a very magical thing.

As for the sensor amplification function of the collector, it is not very obvious now, because the sensing range of the mother nest in its plant form is only about 100 meters in radius, and amplification tenfold would only extend it to one kilometer. However, once the mother nest evolves into its root system form, its sensing range is estimated to expand to about 10 kilometers. At that time, a tenfold amplification would be able to cover almost the entire city.

Next comes seed production. The vegetative state of the mother hive has limitations on seed production. After the collectors are generated, the vegetative state can begin producing seeds. There are two modes: in its natural state, each leaf can grow one seed per day. Kosei currently has fifteen leaflets, meaning it can produce fifteen mature seeds per day, which consumes very little energy. In the forced production mode, the mother hive can forcibly generate mature seeds beyond this limit, but this consumes a huge amount of energy and is only used in emergency situations.

Su Yi has now observed that the tips of the fifteen leaflets on the Kosei have formed granules, indicating that the seeds are in the growth stage. By tomorrow morning, the seeds will be mature, and the first batch can be harvested. Although he is eager to try and experience the feeling of activating the seeds, he decides to wait another day to conserve energy.

Su Yi circulated the manipulation technique through his body quickly, intentionally calming his excited emotions. This was one of the functions of the technique he had discovered—it allowed him to calm down.

From the initial curiosity and excitement of obtaining the Mother Nest to the gradual adaptation and understanding of it, Su Yi often pondered what kind of life he should lead after acquiring the Mother Nest, or what he should do in the future. Now, it was time for him to calm down and think about it carefully.

Su Yi's latest project is a game he's been designing. After a period of study, he has mastered several high-level languages, assembly language, and even machine language. Later, from the Mother Nest, he continued to learn a programming architecture method from the Yuga civilization. Based on this method, and with the help of the Kosei, he created his own language. This language borrows from DNA combination methods, and the compiled program is even more efficient than assembly language, second only to machine language. This is already quite remarkable. Crucially, this language, mastered only by him, makes the source code completely unbreakable. Finally, he named this language Y, representing both the Yuga civilization from which the Mother Nest originated and the letter of his name, "Yi."
