Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 312: Body Unlocked


Chen Shouyi struggled internally for a long time.

He clenched his teeth.

You can't catch a wolf without risking the cub.

First, experiment a bit, and if something seems amiss, immediately cut off the polluted part, like a gecko sacrificing its tail to survive.

He looked at his fingers and quickly chose the ring finger of his left hand.

He didn't use his left hand much anyway, so even if he had to sever the entire hand, he could still wield a sword even if he couldn't shoot arrows anymore.

Perhaps his Natural Healing ability could make it grow back.

Thinking of this, Chen Shouyi felt at ease.

He walked over to where the Giant Transformation once crushed the floor and found a wooden splinter.

Immediately, he pulled out the cork of the test tube, dipped the wooden splinter in some Divine Blood, took a deep breath, and applied it to the ring finger of his left hand.

Before long, his finger felt a burning sensation.

...

After a dozen seconds, he snapped out of his daze and looked at his unharmed finger, feeling excited.

"I didn't expect it to be exactly like the world in my memory!"

Feeling that some of his mental energy was consumed, he closed his eyes to rest for half an hour, and after regaining his strength, he felt bolder this time and directly poured a drop into his palm.

After half a minute, he tiredly opened his eyes.

He checked his attributes, which were about the same as in the memory world, except his will increased by 0.1 points.

After all, in the memory world, while the body might be fake, the soul was real. He had endured the remnants of the Divine Blood's will three times, resulting in a total increase of 0.2 points in will.

He rested for another two hours afterward.

Before dawn.

He used another drop of Divine Blood.

This time there was no enhancement whatsoever.

He napped a bit more, went downstairs for breakfast, returned to his bedroom, and used another drop of Divine Blood.

This time only constitution increased by 0.1.

He wasn't planning to go out today.

For each drop used, he rested for two hours, and by eleven in the evening, he had used up 7 drops of Divine Blood.

Intelligence had increased to 15.0, gaining 0.3 points, and will had gone up by 0.1 points.

The speed of enhancement was gradually slowing down.

However, Chen Shouyi didn't mind as the Divine Blood had only consumed just over two milliliters, with still over ten milliliters remaining.

The Divine Blood was thick, with one drop being as voluminous as four to five drops of water.

As his will improved, he noticed that the consumption of mental energy had significantly lessened, and now felt that using two consecutive drops might not be a problem, which he was ready to attempt.

Suddenly, his ear sharply caught the rustling sound coming from the bed.

Startled, Chen Shouyi quickly plugged the test tube and stuffed it into his underwear pocket.

He turned around to see the Shell Lady drowsily sitting up, rubbing her eyes: "Big Giant, what delicious food are you eating?"

"Nothing, nothing, you go back to sleep!" Chen Shouyi hurriedly replied.

"Oh!" the Shell Lady murmured, half-open eyes sniffing the air, before lying back down and falling into a deep sleep.

That was a scare for nothing!

Fortunately, she was too sleepy and a bit muddled, easily deceived.

If she had noticed, it would be another round of noise.

Mmm, I'll go to the bathroom later.

...

The next day he still didn't go out, until midday on the third day.

He had finally used up all the Divine Blood, checking his attribute panel.

Strength: 16.6

Agility: 17.6

Constitution: 16.7

Intelligence: 15.6

Perception: 14.2

Will: 15.9

Energy Accumulation: 6.32

These three days saw the most increase in intelligence, going up by 1.1 points, and will increasing by 0.5 points, while strength and constitution each grew by 0.2 points.

Unfortunately, as the attributes increased, the effect of the Divine Blood dropped sharply.

In the end, aside from the occasional boost in intelligence and will, the constitution and strength saw no changes, and as for the already high agility of 17.6, it didn't increase at all.

But since this was already an unexpected boon, Chen Shouyi wasn't too greedy.

At this moment, he could distinctly feel his thinking becoming clearer than ever. Every thought sparked like lightning, without any sluggishness, and he even had the illusion that time itself seemed to slow down.

He walked towards the window, drew open the curtains, and the dazzling midday sunlight met his eyes. He squinted slightly and quickly adapted. In his vision, the sunlight split into a spectrum of colors; not just the sunlight, but everything around looked vibrant and colorful, as though the world had been renewed.

At the same time, his ears were filled with a multitude of sounds: voices, birds chirping, the hissing of a steam truck, machinery sounds from the distant industrial area, and even the buzzing wings of a fly dozens of meters away.

He carefully distinguished the myriad of sounds, identifying over a hundred types.

"I didn't realize that I was blocking out so many of my senses before!" Chen Shouyi marveled inwardly.

The senses are closely related to constitution. In fact, his constitution didn't change much, but it felt as if even it underwent a metamorphosis.

The body's attributes often complement each other, somewhat akin to the barrel theory (the amount of water a barrel can hold depends on its shortest plank).

If we consider constitution as the information receiver, then intelligence is the information processor.

When the ability to receive information exceeds the capacity to process it, to protect itself against lag or even crashes, some unimportant information naturally gets filtered or blurred.

In other words, it was as if the receiver's performance was excessive.

And now it seemed some of the limitations had been released.

He felt incredibly wonderful at the moment, with high-resolution colors, hundreds of smells, nuanced hearing, and sharp and agile thinking. Many long-forgotten memories vividly surfaced.

"I feel stronger than ever right now," he murmured dreamily to himself.

This sensation was even more intense than when his agility improved last time.

It was a comprehensive enhancement, as if his body's capabilities had been further unlocked.

"And then there's the will!"

He remembered that his will had also increased considerably. He turned towards the solid wooden chair by the desk and with a thought.

An invisible force suddenly emanated.

The solid wooden chair, weighing a dozen or so pounds, shot towards him with a "whoosh."

Chen Shouyi was slightly surprised.

This speed must be around twenty meters per second.

He calmly reached out and grabbed it, pinching the leg of the chair, only to hear a "snap" as the chair leg broke off.

Chen Shouyi's expression froze momentarily.

Although he had considered the amount of strength his hand should exert to avoid breaking it, he hadn't thought about handling the impact.

The force slammed into him at such speed, then suddenly stopped; even the sturdiest chair leg couldn't withstand such an impact.

"Never mind, I don't really sit much anyway," Chen Shouyi consoled himself.

"But since it's already broken..."

He looked at the chair floating in midair, suddenly forming his hand into a sword, and gently sliced through the air.

An invisible Sword Qi flashed past.

With a barely audible "swoosh," a long and thin crack appeared on the chair's surface.

Upon close inspection, the crack was about fifteen centimeters long.

"Wow, this length..."
