Chapter 999 - 105: Evolution 5
Apart from perversion, there’s mutation.
This is the real portrayal of most parts of the Cyber Test Field.
On the Ice Planet, the exploration team found a group of native players following the ’Eskimo’ route, discovered an underwater laboratory beneath the sea, obtained the data for cold resistance modification, found the planet’s unique ice ore, and encountered the planet’s indigenous cold-type creatures...
But this time, Gao Gong did not participate, nor did he pay much attention.
All his focus was on ’grinding attribute points.’
The enhancement brought by the attribute points greatly exceeded his expectations.
Previously, Gao Gong’s basic attributes were: Power 355, Agility 357, Endurance 322, Intelligence 395, Perception 366, Personality: -1122
After completing the first session of ’Breathing Skill,’ the Human Body Transformation Rate dropped to 10%, and the basic attributes skyrocketed, consuming 230% of the transformation space and bringing nearly 200 basic attribute points, with an average increase of 40 points for each attribute.
Power 395, Agility 397, Endurance 362, Intelligence 435, Perception 406
Unlike other players, Gao Gong has not just a biological system but also a mechanical system.
In other words, when others enhance once, he can enhance twice with such attribute enhancement.
The five basic attributes skyrocketed once again, and since the human mechanical system’s transformation rate reached the upper limit (300%), more attributes were gained through the consumption of transformation rate.
Each attribute could increase by 50 points on average.
Power 445, Agility 447, Endurance 412, Intelligence 435, Perception 456
Just a single ’transformation’ of the human system brought Gao Gong a boost of 500 basic attribute points!
The joy of being abnormal is indeed simple!
At this moment, both biological and mechanical forms have achieved complete zombification.
The zombie transformation of the biological form turned Gao Gong into a Tyrant nearly 8 meters tall, with rotting flesh hanging off him, and with each breath, a foul stench emanated from his split nostrils, spewing endless biochemical viruses.
The zombification of the mechanical form was more interesting.
Unlike the walking dead, a massive amount of metal rust appeared on the surface of the mechanical skeleton, the Bionic Man deteriorated, and the life form neared disintegration.
During this process, the constructs on Gao Gong’s body began to mutate, transforming from humanoid plugins into various non-humanoid forms and even started to invade other human body systems, completing new constructions.
Through the Zombie Tiger Breathing Skill improved by the biological computer, its effect naturally surpassed that of players, and the transformation was exceptionally thorough. Without the aid of ’Zombie 0,’ the mere consumption at this level would cause Gao Gong’s body to completely disintegrate.
This form transformation is approaching the strength of a fusion transformation.
By the way, Gao Gong’s personality dropped even more, directly by 2000.
Strong, yet it’s a trade-off for personality!
’Hurry, I’m almost out of blood, and the system is about to explode!’
A zombie face suddenly emerged from Gao Gong’s back, with a sinister grin. In the next moment, a massive black shadow almost covered half of the Star Destroyer, and all crew members felt discomfort, nausea, and distortion, while in the Mechanical Ancestral Hall, the electronic spirit tablets ’thumped’ incessantly, almost unable to hold the coffin lids down.
It was as if some Corpse King was resurrecting.
Then, something bizarre happened; amid the pile of decaying flesh, already rotten skin, intestines, and bones seemed to have pressed ’rewind,’ going back in time, and the two human body systems conducted a nearly impossible resurrection and reconstruction.
And this reconstruction once again brought a significant increase in attribute points.
This is the ability of the ’Carbon-Based Fruit.’
Turning from human to corpse, and from corpse back to human.
To some extent, it’s even more heaven-defying than some enhancement fruits.
After complete repair, a hint of intense red light was activated, projecting into the body of ’Zombie 0.’
"Oh?"
"What happened?"
"The Life Forbidden Zone seems to have broken through a bit."
The so-called ’Life Forbidden Zone’ is the part of the human body system that cannot be ’zombified.’
When the ’Alien Factory’ hadn’t left, the Cyber Test Field’s experiments showed that zombification could reach a maximum of 70%.
Beyond that, it couldn’t succeed.
Later, when the Planet Host left, Supreme Being Hun Jie implanted a Carbon-Based Fruit. Under its effect, human transformation was developed again, reaching 90% before it was interrupted again.
There is always 10% of the human transformation space that cannot be zombified.
Similarly, 10% of zombie activation cannot be transformed.
This 10% is the ’Life Forbidden Zone.’
And now, in Gao Gong’s perception, the Life Forbidden Zone has become ’9%.’
"Is it due to the effect of the ’Corpse Tiger Breathing Skill,’ or is my body exceptionally strong? Or could it be that the power of fusion stimulated the further disintegration of the human form?"
With the collapse of the human system, leading to the disintegration of the biological computer, Gao Gong can’t ascertain what caused this.
Perhaps it’s one factor, or perhaps it’s the coupling effect of different factors.
But the body’s foundational strength is undeniably real.
"When turning from a zombie back to human form, how much did the attributes increase?" Zombie 0 curiously asked, despite sharing the brain, it couldn’t see the system panel.
"Also 500 points."
"Shit, doesn’t that mean, the ’Zombie Perpetual Motion Machine’ succeeded? Did we hit a system bug?"
Is Zombie 0’s ability combined with my super body, capable of infinite transformation?
"I’m afraid it’s not that easy."
As the biological computer rebooted, a trace of peculiar ’garbled code’ appeared in virtual space, flashing briefly, but Gao Gong could clearly perceive that there were many redundant codes in the human body system, mostly generated due to the human form transformation.
Just as redundant code can cause a system to crash, once accumulated to a certain limit, this body is bound to collapse instantly.
"So, even with the aid of the Carbon-Based Fruit and my super body, the ’Zombie Perpetual Motion Machine’ cannot be realized."
"No, theoretically, if the Life Forbidden Zone is completely broken through, interconversion among different life forms would be possible, but such ’Decomposition Science,’ even advanced civilizations haven’t produced mature technology. It’s unlikely I can do it alone."
"I can foresee that after three more transformations, this body will reach its limit. However, even so, my basic attributes will explode, reaching Tier 4, no, likely reaching Tier 5 levels."
One grind can reach 500 points, four times is 2000, averaging, each basic attribute can increase to 500 points, equivalent to doubling in place.
And what’s most closely related to basic attributes is blood volume, with each of the five attributes increasing by 1 point, adding 50 to life. Two thousand attribute points equate to 100,000 blood volume.
And Gao Gong has two tanks of blood.
...
While players were indulged in exploring the planet and Gao Gong obsessed with attribute strengthening, a spaceship was heading towards the Ice Planet.
On this spaceship, a bald tattooed man silently sat, his entire body seemed to be forged from steel, giving an intense oppressive feeling.
Probably due to taking a smuggling route, soon, from the four directions of the spaceship appeared tracks of Star Thief Ships, accompanied by unabashed mocking taunts on the public channel.
But when these star thieves successfully forced the spaceship to a halt, they were astounded to find it empty inside, with not a soul inside.
Then the star thieves felt a darkness falling over their vision, looking up to find a nearby asteroid getting closer and closer...
