Chapter 49: Life Field, C-rank Physique

After deep deliberation, Meng Yi set the constant quantity of his modified "Cell-Level Bio-Psionic Computer" to the 100 trillion range, typical for a Terran body.

This move, firstly, remained within the production consumption range of his stored energy; secondly, it could be perfectly utilized by his C+ rank mental strength; and thirdly, it would not cause mutations in his appearance or physique.

Anyone who has done scientific research knows that as long as there is one successful case, subsequent replication and reproduction work can save a lot of unnecessary trial-and-error time.

When developing the carrier for Red Queen a while ago, it took Meng Yi a week to complete one figurine-sized bio-psionic computer. The speed of repetitive modification would only be faster, not slower.

Hand-crafting the "Bai Xue Equipment" consumed one week.

For the remaining time, Meng Yi estimated he could complete 5% of the massive project that was "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0."

That is to say, modifying five trillion cell-level bio-psionic computers.

"Action is better than thought; just get it done!"

……

The one-month rest period ticked away second by second, and the progress of "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0" slowly increased.

When the first "cell-level bio-psionic computer" was completed, Meng Yi's computing power increased slightly.

Ten — one hundred — one thousand — ten thousand!

One million — ten million — one hundred million — one trillion!

The progress of "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0" reached 1%.

Meng Yi felt a vague perception, as if something was about to connect into a "web."

Yet it was as unclear as looking at flowers through mist; the path ahead was shrouded in thick fog.

[Notification: Player 'Bai Mo' body strength promoted from D++ rank to C- rank!]

He ignored the Paradise's notification of becoming stronger.

Body strength was merely a derivative of his technical realization; Meng Yi valued more the computing power and efficiency brought by one trillion bio-psionic computers.

This feeling was too wonderful. When one trillion micro-computers were superimposed onto a human, and the possibilities extended by a single thought were identified and clarified, how was such a monster any different from a god among men?!

Merely 1% progress of "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0" had increased Meng Yi's original thought processing speed and calculation deduction speed by more than several thousand times.

One must know, before the modification, Meng Yi was already a psionicist with "C+ rank Psionics" and "C+ rank Mental Strength."

The body-forging realm of "Seeing God, Not Damaged, God and Clarity" was somewhat similar to Meng Yi's current state, but the essence was completely different.

There was no need for mysterious insights or meditation.

Technology is the primary productive force; isn't it enough to find another path to master and surpass it?

1.1% — 1.2% — 1.5%!

2.0% — 2.5% — 3.0%!

3.5% — 4.0% — 5.0%!

Taking a total of 29 days, 17 hours, 36 minutes, and 01 second, the progress of "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0" reached the 5% Meng Yi had planned, and the ultra-concentrated biomass he had stored during his stay in the Paradise was also exhausted.

[Notification: Player 'Bai Mo' body strength promoted, C- rank to C rank!]

"I know what it is!"

Meng Yi, having recovered his human form, had countless streams of information flashing in his black-and-white eyes.

As he clenched his fist, the matrix network composed of five trillion "cell-level bio-psionic computers" spread throughout his body resonated with his "C+ rank Psionics," constructing a faint, hazy layer of white light.

The cell consciousness and psionics perfectly combined, and under the mobilization of the supercomputing matrix, they formed a "Life Field" that should not have been accessible at the C-rank stage.

Meng Yi said softly: "Fix!"

The residual biomass energy in his body was rapidly consumed, and the "Life Field" instantly constructed a thin, crystal-wall-like structure.

Through ultra-high-efficiency calculations, in less than a microsecond, Meng Yi reached a conclusion.

Activating the "Life Field" at full power, the residual biomass energy and mental power in his body could maintain it for 0.157842 seconds.

At this stage, he was sufficient to withstand the destructive power of a planetary explosion and remain completely unharmed.

"Lower! Low-energy mode!"

The iridescent crystal wall layer dissipated, regressing into the original hazy white light.

1% power "Life Field," strength: withstand a strategic nuclear strike (Tsar Bomba).

As long as he avoided the ultra-high temperature strike in the narrow core area, the secondary derivative high-temperature shockwave brought by the nuclear bomb was like a breeze on his face, no longer able to hurt Meng Yi, who had activated the "Low-energy mode Life Field."

"Can the low-energy mode last for 1.6 seconds? That's acceptable."

"Disperse!"

With one thought, the hazy white light of the "Life Field" dispersed. Experimenting with the "Life Field" had exhausted Meng Yi's residual biomass energy, and the "cell-level bio-psionic computers" entered a dormant stage.

The state of high-speed thought operation dissipated. Meng Yi, his face incomparably pale, staggered to the food warehouse and laboriously condensed a black-red tentacle to pierce through tubes of nutrient paste, absorbing energy to fill the loss of his own biomass energy.

A moment later, Meng Yi caught his breath. He did not activate "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0" again, and the derived "Life Field" was temporarily shelved.

Relying solely on biomass energy to convert energy was too inefficient; he could not afford the two brand-new abilities he had developed.

"Essence, Qi, and Spirit... the three basic attributes of the Paradise are all crucial and indispensable!"

"Lacking 'Qi,' missing the 'energy lever,' even with powerful means, I cannot use them."

Meng Yi frowned. If he were to take "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0" from 5% to 100% (100 trillion cells), his limit computing power would increase significantly, and the strength of the "Life Field" would also climb accordingly.

His current biomass energy storage limit could support a "100% power Life Field" for about 3.146687 seconds.

Or a "1% power Life Field" for five minutes.

Once the "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0" modification was completed, the storage limit was expected to support a "100% power Life Field" for 1 minute, or a "1% power Life Field" for nearly two hours.

He thought slightly about the scene of activating "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0 at 100% progress" and "100% power Life Field."

Meng Yi, having filled his biomass energy reserves beforehand, could stand still and take the Star-Shattering Face-Smashing Punch from an extreme life-burning Firefly for one minute.

If Firefly could not extend the instantaneous output of a star-shattering blow to one minute.

She would inevitably be unable to outlast Meng Yi, who had completed the "100% progress Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0" modification.

"A one-minute real man? That's not possible!"

"Completing the short board of 'Qi' and creating 'Energy Lever v1.0' is imminent!"

What energy source is closest to living beings, cells, and life?

"Biochemical-type Psionics" had already given the answer; its true form is — bio-electricity!

"How can I more efficiently utilize the bio-electricity generated by cell movement, avoid the massive losses within it, and perform the electromagnetic force to energy conversion formula?"

A clever woman cannot cook without rice; Meng Yi had not yet come into contact with extraordinary fields related to 'lightning.'

"Can I only pin my hopes on the next dungeon?"

"Or complete 'Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0' to improve body strength, carry the C+ rank 'Psionics' that has reached a bottleneck to break through to B-rank, and independently develop 'Biochemical-type Electromagnetic Force Manipulation'."

Both paths could be chosen, and the prospects were very clear.

The former is gambling on luck, the latter is a grind of effort and resources.

Meng Yi calculated that if he wanted to raise "Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0" to 100% completion, it would cost about 20,000 Paradise Coins to purchase high-concentration nutrient substances, and his body strength would increase from C-rank to C+, or even C++ rank.

C++ rank physique is sufficient to carry B-rank psionics, and mental strength would also rise to the B-rank area. The comprehensive evaluation would completely surpass the C-rank breaking-the-mold category of C++ and reach the B-rank domain of fifth-tier players!

"Not expensive, but not worth it. Better to go into the dungeon to grab resources."

With his thoughts settled, Meng Yi opened his personal information panel to see his brand-new evaluation.

Body Strength D++ to C [Bai Xue Battle Body v1.0, 5% progress]

Comprehensive Evaluation C to C+

"Barely acceptable. In the next dungeon, my comprehensive evaluation should be able to rise to C++, or even B-." ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
