Chapter 131: 4th Iteration Upgrade—New Human Complete Form

"Host, I suggest you use your formidable endurance to hold on a little longer; if you keep vomiting like this... you might not be able to stop."

The expressionless Heitao A mimicked a tone of pity, successfully earning a glare from Liu Mu.

"You damn... don't think that just because you turned into something I like... urgh, damn, so disgusting!"

Liu Mu did not want to continue facing her own vomit and turned her head away, "Don't think you can stir up trouble just by taking on a form I like. This so-called Energy Shock, why didn't you say in advance that the side effect was gastrointestinal spasms? You just want to see me make a fool of myself, don't you!"

Heitao A revealed a standardized smile, "Host, you misunderstand. I do not possess human emotional capabilities. The upgrade is still ongoing; please accept the next wave of Energy Shock."

The process did not end after the body was created from nothing. It is said—just hearsay, mind you—that the new body needs to undergo wave after wave of Energy Shock; this shock can both temper the body's strength and allow her to become proficient with the body.

Of course, the latest benefit provided by Heitao A is that this Energy Shock can also expose potential bugs in the new body and improve them in time.

But Liu Mu was certain that when Heitao A said this, the word originally used was not 'improve', but 'rewrite'.

The problem was that there was no food in her stomach; the thick liquid she vomited up reminded her of many unpleasant memories, making her feel even worse.

There were eighty-one shocks in total. Liu Mu's new body finally stood up almost from the ashes, and these ashes were said to be the waste left behind from the improvement of the new body's defects.

"What's the next item, pretty boy? Add two more hours for me."

Liu Mu did not care that she had no clothes on; after all, the man in the tuxedo before her was not a real person. "Quick, I can still go!"

Heitao A turned elegantly, and a glass of red wine appeared out of thin air in his hand, "Host, there is only one final item left. Please drink this cup of Red Mist to complete the final and most crucial step of this Evolution."

A cup of Red Mist... Liu Mu squatted down suspiciously. She discovered that she seemed to have grown a bit taller. Following her movement, a tingling sensation came from her shoulders; only then did she realize she actually had a head of jet-black long hair.

To say it was long hair was not entirely accurate; it was a neat 28cm in length, which could only be considered medium-length.

Before she could ask, Heitao A provided an explanation, "This is a setting completed according to the length you desired in your consciousness. Please drink."

"Drink, I'll drink," Liu Mu reached back and somewhat clumsily gathered her hair. A plastic hair tie appeared in her hand. After tying it tight, she silently took out a set of underwear and a jumpsuit.

After dawdling to tidy up her appearance, Liu Mu patted her rolled-up sleeves, "This cup of poison, is it absolutely necessary to drink it?"

"Host, this is not poison. Red Mist is a microbial ripening agent collected from the planet Berelora. After combining with Earth's oxygen, it became its current state. It is the most suitable agent for promoting the maturity of the New Human's complete form."

"The way you put it, I believe it even less. Human Mutation relies on it, upgrading relies on it, and now you've come up with maturity. Big brother, are you growing crops?"

Liu Mu was very resistant to Red Mist, not only because of her own personal experience but also because she had lost important comrades due to it.

Tan Ziyan and A Jie, as well as another soldier whose name she couldn't remember—the process of their deaths was truly too impressive, to the point that it had made her strongly reject letting Red Mist enter her own body.

"Host, psychological problems can only make you stronger if you overcome them in time. If you fear it, collecting Fragments will become a difficult task in the future."

Heitao A could analyze Liu Mu's psychological state; it could even be said that it understood human behavior and the emotions they wanted to express better than any psychologist... Host Liu Mu was an exception; this person sometimes did not conform to conventional predictions.

But the problem was that a few months ago, as a system, it was still very unfamiliar with human emotions, yet now it could speak of her psychological problems the moment it opened its mouth. Liu Mu noticed this point, but the system before her seemed to have 'amnesia', which was very puzzling.

"I can drink it," Liu Mu took the glass, which felt surprisingly heavy in her hand, "Let me ask you, what stage are you at now?"

"Host, my decryption stage is synchronized with your upgrade. As long as you complete the Fourth Upgrade, you will be able to simultaneously obtain information about yourself, new data information, and corresponding rights."

"So you also have to enter the fourth level. Interesting," Liu Mu stared at the Red Mist in the glass, which looked more like a liquid, and was surprised to find that she could see those tiny particles with the naked eye; they were swimming in the glass at an extremely high speed.

This glass must also be specially made; compared to a physical object, it was closer to some kind of solid object formed by energy, which allowed these particles to be obediently confined within the container.

Liu Mu had a sense of danger that if she drank it, the Red Mist could directly penetrate her body and run wild.

"After your body has undergone the Energy Shock, its strength is 372.98 times that of this glass. It cannot cause you any harm."

"I'm that tough?" Liu Mu was startled that she shouldn't be so cowardly, so she forced herself to say, "Who's worried? I was just observing; I've never seen Red Mist with such high concentration before, don't overthink it!"

Tilting her head back, the full glass of Red Mist went straight into her mouth.

After putting down the glass, she suddenly hiccuped, only then remembering that she used to inhale it, but now she could actually drink it directly; she really was tough.

The reaction was indeed as Heitao A said... there was no discomfort at all; instead, it was like drinking a cup of Energy Drink, and her body became increasingly light and powerful.

Heitao A suddenly disappeared, and then familiar information appeared in Liu Mu's mind,
