Rest overnight.
The next day, Shen Cong was awakened by the itching in his body at four o'clock in the morning before dawn.
"What's going on? I'm itching all over. It's not on my skin, but inside my body... Ahem, it's my internal organs. Ahem, cough, my throat is itchy too." Shen Cong restrained himself from wanting to dig into his body. , I thought of scratching to relieve the itching, but I couldn't stop coughing.
Fortunately, the numbness in my throat subsided with a few coughs.
He began to feel the source of this tingling carefully.
There is a numbing and itching feeling in the intestines and stomach, a numbing and itching feeling in the bronchial tubes, a numbing and itching feeling at the root of the scalp, a numbing and itching feeling at the roots of the hair, a numbing and itching feeling in the vaginal area, and a numbing and itching feeling around the eye sockets... The area where I peeed also felt a little itchy.
"This is… "
Shen Cong felt the tingling on his body, his eyes gradually brightened, and he completely woke up: "... slippery gold?"
lv1-The fourth stage of the pure gold era, sliding gold, smooth muscle metal gradient.
Smooth muscle, also called visceral muscle, is widely distributed in blood vessel walls and internal organs. Except for the heart, all organs are composed of smooth muscle. There are also smooth muscles in the bronchi, around the pupils, and at the roots of hair. Most sphincters are also smooth muscles, and smooth muscles are muscles that are not under voluntary control.
"In other words, my inherent connective tissue has completed the metal gradient process and has completely turned into gold. And now, I have begun the metal gradient of my smooth muscles and entered the sliding gold stage."
"On January 23****, the flesh-gold stage of skeletal muscle was completed, and now the bonding stage of inherent connective tissue has been completed. Today is February 25, and it took a total of 32 days."
The tingling feeling was not very strong, and Shen Cong could bear it.
The smooth muscle begins to gradually transform into metal, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the endurance of one's own organs and blood vessels. At least when punching violently, there is no need to worry about the main blood vessels being squeezed.
Of course, capillaries are epithelial cells, and if they explode too violently, they will still be squeezed out and bleed.
If you punch hard, your fist and arm will become red and the skin will be broken, but there won't be much damage and you can just repair it a little.
"With the continuous metallic gradient of the sliding gold, my power will gradually be released, and I will be able to fully exert my physical fitness with the strength of forty oxen!"
However, Shen Cong felt more and more that the improvement in strength had reached a bottleneck.
During the lv0-active era, I could feel my strength increasing almost every day, and that feeling was very wonderful. In the lv1-Pure Gold Era, although the strength has developed by leaps and bounds, it gradually cannot be increased. A stage has passed since the beginning of gold formation and now the beginning of gold sliding.
The strength gained from evolution is really limited.
It probably means that the defense has become stronger, the body is more resistant to being hit, and strength, speed, agility, five senses, etc. have not been gained from the gold formation stage.
Instead, he developed the Banner Strengthening Technique, improved his talent, and increased his strength by about seven or eight oxen.
"Perhaps stagnant growth in strength is a relatively reasonable evolution. Even a biological individual made entirely of metal has its own limits. It is restricted by various conditions and cannot increase its strength infinitely. I have probably reached a point where Very close to the ultimate level of strength.”
After the sliding gold comes the leather gold.
After Pijin, there is level 2 - Dark Age, which consists of six stages: awakening gold, heart gold, marrow gold, blood gold, dripping gold, and gland gold.
After gland gold is the unnamed lv3 era, which will probably include divine gold and spine gold.
After that, it will be another era, and it may be Naojin’s turn.
It can be seen from here that whether it is Jue Metal, Heart Gold, Marrow Gold, Blood Gold, Lin Gold, Gland Gold, Divine Gold, Ridge Gold, or Brain Gold, they no longer improve the strength of the body; Change the balance of various functions in the body.
Perhaps Juejin can increase the ability of taste, vision, smell, and hearing.
Perhaps heart gold can increase blood supply.
Perhaps marrow gold can increase hematopoietic capacity.
Maybe drenching gold can increase immunity.
Perhaps adenium can regulate the body's hormone balance.
Maybe the divine gold can increase reaction speed.
Perhaps Chirometal can increase motor coordination.
Maybe brain gold can increase IQ.
But these are hardly related to physical strength, speed and other hardware capabilities. In other words, after the completion of skin gold, the power is basically limited. It is impossible for the marrow gold, divine gold and other stages to increase the body's strength.
"Is lv1-Pure Gold Age the absolute value of strength?" Shen Cong thought of the Black Iron Bear and Saltwater Crocodile. The Black Iron Bear is lv2-Pitch Dark Age, and the saltwater crocodile is also lv2-Pitch Dark Age.
These two golden beasts, whose evolutionary stages are significantly higher than that of humans, do not have a generational difference in strength. They rely more on their talent and physical suppression.
In other words, there is generally not much difference between facing a seawater crocodile at level 1 - the final stage of the pure gold age, and facing a seawater crocodile at level 2 - the final stage of the dark age. It can only be said that the level 2 saltwater crocodile has sharper senses, a more durable body, and a stronger recovery ability.
However, Shen Cong doesn't know whether evolution is the routine Shen Cong envisioned.
No one knows, everything can only be explored slowly.
Find answers.
…
Because he unexpectedly entered the gold sliding stage, Shen Cong took a day off to train himself to endure the itching in his body.
Hunting the giant lynx is no joke. He must adjust himself to the best condition before he can risk hunting an ultimate golden beast.
February 26th.
After intense training, Shen Cong has completely endured the itchy gold sliding stage.
Deciding to hunt the giant lynx, he stored all the good things in the nest of the diamond ants, and went into battle on a light vehicle, with the four-legged dragon and the diamond ant team pulling him.
When passing by Xinyi City, Shen Cong went to the breeding farm of Anshun Trading Company.
There are his old hens and chicks in the farm.
"The patron saint is great." The boss of Anshun shouted a messy title, "You are finally here. The good news is that the old hen has laid two eggs! We in Anshun finally lived up to our trust and successfully let the old hen start. Lay eggs, this mid-level golden beast is really difficult to take care of!"
Two old hen eggs, one the size of a bucket.
The eggshell is light yellow and very smooth, without losing the charm of the egg.
It looks full of appetite.
"Very good, give me the eggs, and you will continue to work hard to increase the egg production of the old hens." Shen Cong packed the eggs and waited for more than a month to finally get the eggs.
In the apocalypse, it is really not easy to eat an egg after it takes so long.
Shen Cong likes to eat eggs.
Before leaving, he told the boss of Anshun: "You must raise my old hens well, and don't be careless and try to deduct my share."
"How dare I? The patron saint is so big." Boss Anshun expressed his stance hurriedly.
Shen Cong then said to his correspondent, Guo Sanni, who had been promoted to major: "I may be very busy and don't have time to look at my eggs every day. You will take care of the property rights of the old hen, and keep the eggs for me to pick up." In addition, when the chicks grow up, the eggs they lay must also be collected. Also, pay attention to finding new big roosters and pairing them with old hens to breed fertilized eggs and expand the breeding scale."
"Chief, but I don't know how to raise chickens?" Guo Shanni said in embarrassment. Others worked as correspondents in and out of the office, but when she came here, she was assigned to raise chickens.
"If you don't know, you can hire someone. I will give you a batch of start-up capital. You can find someone and the salary will be higher. I believe there will be many people willing to raise chickens." Shen Cong thought for a while and then said, "Or directly contact Anshun Company Cooperate and open a chicken farm, and I’ll give you 10% of the shares.”
Guo Shanni responded nervously: "Don't worry, Chief, I will definitely run the chicken farm! However, Chief, I am a soldier in a war zone and I am not allowed to run a company with private shares."
Shen Cong said nonchalantly: "If I say you can, you can. That's it. You go back and go through the formalities. If anyone doesn't allow it, ask him to find me later."
Then he drove Donkey Kong, took away two old hen eggs, and continued on his way to hunt the giant lynx.
