Last night, after he killed the soldier bee queen, he was standing on the deck posing like a master.
Suddenly, countless panel prompts popped up.
[Someone has faith and worship for you, Charm Experience +89]
[… Charm experience +102]
[… Charm experience +133]
[… Charm…]
Countless prompts directly raised his charm technique, which had just been upgraded to Lv9, to Lv10.
Then the same skill upgrade prompt as [Fitness] was triggered.
Unlike fitness, where the specific "condition one" is still unknown, the condition one of charm is also a question mark, but it directly shows "satisfied".
Now, the only condition left is one thousand divinities to upgrade this skill.
But... it's a bit annoying.
Xue Jing shook his head.
He has always been a little annoyed with the skill of charm and doesn't like it very much.
But this happens to be the skill that is most likely to gain him experience.
Just like yesterday, when I was posing as an expert and was seen by so many passengers, I was directly promoted to Level 10.
With so many experience points, it would be great if they could be used to gain other skills besides [Cooking].
"To be fair, charm is indeed useful."
Xue Jing thought.
From the time he obtained the panel after traveling through time until now, he has actually benefited a lot from the charm technique invisibly.
Many people's kindness and goodwill towards him were due to his charm... Although he had never thought about it specifically, he understood that this skill brought him many benefits.
However, he just wasn't interested in this skill.
How should I put it... it doesn't fit his aesthetic.
There is no such thing as pure beauty with such intensity.
This skill is very powerful, but it is not a pure power.
To put it simply, it's a crooked way of doing things, just...very disgusting.
Purity is too low.
Even though he knew that once this skill was upgraded, it would become even more exaggerated and would bring more benefits, he did not want to use his divinity on this skill.
Just like when you are playing a game, there is a skill that is very useful, but it is just not cool enough, so you don’t like it and don’t want to use it.
"Just leave it like this. I'll upgrade it for you when I have more divinity than I can use up."
Xue Jing looked at the experience bar behind the charm level on the panel.
(3221/?)
The experience points required for upgrading have become a question mark.
However, experience points can still be gained, and I don’t know what’s going on.
Is it that the current level has reached the upper limit and can only be further improved after sublimation
Or has it simply become invisible
As he was thinking about it, Ning Fengwan next to him yawned.
"… the two people from the 'Giant God Brigade' we met yesterday."
The girl spoke.
"These two people are probably not dead yet."
When Xue Jing heard this, he stopped thinking and was a little surprised.
"Oh? How do you mean?"
"Aren't their bodies still on the boat? One was cut in half, and the other was cut into six pieces by you..."
Ning Fengwan sat on the armrest of Xue Jing's lounge chair. Her plump buttocks were slightly marked by the swimsuit. As she sat down, her posture made her buttocks more perky, and her slender waist exuded amazing sexy charm.
"They say he's not dead... I don't know if it counts as not dead."
The girl reached out and tucked her wet black hair behind her ears. This action had a wonderful feminine feel. From Xue Jing's angle, he could clearly see her exposed white neck.
"You know the 'mind uploading' thing in science fiction, right?"
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows:
"This is very cyber... Has our technology advanced to this level?"
Ning Fengwan shook her head:
"There are still many unsolvable problems with our own technology, so we can't do this for now."
"However, there is a company called 'Deep Blue Network' that has somehow successfully mastered the technology of 'consciousness uploading'."
Xue Jing asked curiously: "What method?"
Ning Fengwan combed her long hair with her fingers and said casually, "I don't know."
"This is their company's most fundamental core secret, and it is impossible to reveal it to the outside world... However, many people speculate that Deep Blue Company may have a creature from the borderland that exists in the form of a 'conscious life form', and therefore has mastered 'consciousness uploading'."
"In short, ever since Deep Blue Corporation acquired this technology decades ago, many people have chosen to upload their consciousness to the Deep Blue network."
“Of course, it’s expensive.”
She curled her long hair with her fingers and looked at Xue Jing.
"Borderland hunter groups like the Giant God Brigade do jobs that ordinary people can't do. Although their lives are in danger, everyone is very rich. The cost of uploading consciousness is not unaffordable for them."
"I examined the bodies of these two people yesterday and found that their thalamus was filled with a dark blue ball connected to countless nerves."
"Then I went to the Inner World Forum and found out that this small sphere is used to upload one's consciousness and memory data to the Deep Blue Network at any time."
Xue Jing pinched his chin: "No wonder these two people don't seem to be afraid of death..."
Especially that woman, who was staring at him with love in her eyes before she died.
I originally thought it was because they had been wandering between life and death for years, but now it seems that this is also the reason.
"But in the final analysis, it's hard to say whether the digitized self after the consciousness is uploaded is still the original self."
Ning Fengwan crossed her arms and held up the European Cup: "This is one of the difficult problems that humans have always been thinking about, the Ship of Theseus?"
Xue Jing took a sip of juice and asked casually, "Is Deep Blue Network the only one that has mastered 'consciousness uploading'? Doesn't that mean they can master countless secrets?"
Ning Fengwan said: "Of course they will sign a very strict agreement not to infringe on the privacy of customers... But it is hard to say whether they will abide by it."
"Aren't real secrets known only to big shots?... It seems that no one who can be called a 'big shot' has uploaded their consciousness to Deep Blue Network... After all, this technology has only been around for a few decades. Many concepts, ethics, and considerations have made consciousness uploading not so popular. Therefore, Deep Blue Network's market value ranks very low among giant companies."
She paused, then continued:
"Besides, there are more ways to prolong life than just uploading consciousness... Only people like the Giant God Brigade who often encounter life-and-death crises on the physical level and need to prolong their lives, but have no access to other methods of prolonging life, would choose to upload their consciousness."
…
After chatting with Ning Fengwan for a long time and gaining a lot of knowledge, Xue Jing went to have a meal at noon.
Then he returned to his suite.
Ning Fengwan changed back into cat form, curled up on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Opening the glass door of the balcony and walking outside, Xue Jing sniffed the salty sea breeze, listened to the endless sound of waves, closed his eyes, and sank his mind.
In the space of consciousness, countless pixel blocks rotated and emerged, constructing an infinite nova that was exactly the same as in reality.
Then Xue Jing's own body appeared on the boat.
I was so tired yesterday that I went straight to sleep and didn’t even have time to test how much stronger I had become.
As soon as the thought came to mind, countless pixels gathered in front of him and turned into an exaggerated barbell.
The two sides are filled with huge black barbell plates, and you can tell at a glance that they are extremely heavy.
Xue Jing walked forward, stretched out his hand to grasp the barbell, tensed his muscles, and lifted it up.
"A ton of weight... not bad."
Xue Jing lifted the barbell above his head. The alloy rod could hardly bear the weight of the barbell plates on both sides. It bent into a bow, making a sound of metal twisting under the heavy load.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had tested his specific physical strength.
Xue Jing spun the barbell in his hand and swung it upward with force.
“Crunch—”
The alloy barbell bar bent directly to an extreme state, and then broke with a bang.
"The specific strength value is actually meaningless. It is completely inconsistent with the actual combat power that can be exerted..."
Xue Jing pinched his chin.
A martial artist with a strong spirit can use his mind to interfere with his own reality and exert combat power beyond the limits of his own physical body.
Just like him, in terms of purely physical strength, he can probably only lift one or two tons, and at most no more than five tons.
This level of strength may sound powerful, but in reality, it can't even lift a steamroller.
If strength is added, perhaps seven or eight tons of force can be exerted, but it is still nothing, and the combat effectiveness is just so-so.
However, what about his actual combat performance
A single strike of the sword could create a sword energy that stretched over ten meters away. Even with the addition of shadow flame, it could create a pitch-black tornado that formed a water-sucking dragon on the sea surface.
Not to mention how powerful it is, the range is outrageous and it is not something that can be achieved by just a few tons of force.
Xue Jing's mind moved, and the pixels in front of him gathered and transformed into a majestic human figure.
"Come on, Big Brother, it has to be you."
Xue Jing clenched his hands into fists and collided his fists twice.
After the figure of the eldest senior brother Meng Boshan appeared, he glanced at Xue Jing and nodded calmly, as if saying hello.
Xue Jing was stunned when he saw this.
It seems that after the upgrade of Visualization·Truth, the people simulated by consciousness have become much more agile.
"Tornado Thunder Extreme—"
"boom!"
Meng Boshang put his hands behind his back and took the punch on his chest. The front of his shirt suddenly burst open, revealing his strong chest muscles.
It was covered with dense dragon scale marks, which were much more delicate and detailed than the dragon scale skin used by Xue Jing.
"… Even his personality seems to have partially reappeared. He clearly used his arm to block the attack before."
Xue Jing was speechless.
I felt like I was being taken advantage of by the senior brother.
With a thought, he recovered from his injuries.
"Speaking of which, I have also comprehended the last part of Mekanryu, and I have learned all five killer moves of Canglongryu."
"The next thing we are going to encounter is the profound realm of the Five Kills in One."
"Secret: Eye-Pointing... How do I do it specifically?"
Xue Jing looked thoughtful.
…
(Transition chapter, I’m stuck, so the update is a bit late)
Chapter 119: Killing move combination, Shadow Flame upgrade, Activated Shadow Beast (4K)
"The combination of the five killing moves is the highlight... But the way each killing move is used is completely different..."
Xue Jing looked thoughtful.
