Chapter 57: Another Reinforcement

The biological dissociation fluid was prepared early the next morning. This was a solution with atomic-level precision, corresponding one-to-one with the molecular structure of the Red Shuttle Hawk King’s pure energy crystal. Only in this way could it be decomposed without losing the energy inside the crystal.

“It doesn’t look very special,” Lin Lei said, looking at the less than five hundred milliliters of translucent gel-like liquid in front of him, feeling very strange.

Moira’s condition was not very good at this moment. Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and she had two big dark circles under her eyes. She had worked continuously at high intensity for nearly sixteen hours to produce the biological dissociation fluid that Lin Lei called nothing special!

Hearing Lin Lei’s heartless words now, she glared at him angrily and said hatefully, “It is indeed nothing special, but who was it that begged me yesterday?”

“Alright, alright, I apologize to you. So, what should we do next?” Lin Lei looked at Moira’s haggard face and felt a slight sense of guilt in his heart.

“Put the energy crystal in, and then, if you have enough guts, drink it all in one go,” Moira said, while carefully manipulating the vector field to clean the surface of the pure energy crystal.

Subsequently, the pure energy crystal was held by a high-precision mechanical arm and slowly immersed into the biological dissociation fluid.

To maintain full immersion, the speed of entering the dissociation fluid was only ten micrometers per second. The energy crystal, which was less than ten centimeters in diameter, took several hours to be fully inserted. During this process, the energy crystal also began to dissolve.

When the last bit of the energy crystal entered the biological dissociation fluid, the biological dissociation fluid completely changed its appearance. From an inconspicuous translucent gel, it turned into a dazzling liquid emitting fragmented silver light.

Lin Lei touched the wall of the container holding the dissociation fluid with the back of his hand and felt it was slightly warm to the touch. Presumably, this was a small part of the energy released during the dissolution process. However, losing just this little was completely acceptable.

“Don’t doubt it. The dissociation fluid I prepared will lose at most 0.001% of the pure energy crystal during the dissolution process. It’s just enough to warm your hands.” In this regard, Moira was proud enough.

Lin Lei picked up the solution, held it in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully. During this process, he was also communicating with the System in his brain.

“System, do you think I can swallow it in one gulp?”

“The Host can perform this operation. Before that, it is advised to find a quiet place.”

“Why? Is there going to be huge pain again?” Lin Lei was a bit scared. No one would want to suffer that kind of pain. It was simply more heartbreaking than heartbreaking!

“The pain is within the Host’s tolerance range.” Then the System went completely silent, acting as if it didn’t care whether he drank it or not.

Moira had already noticed something was wrong. She said in a panicked tone, “Lin Lei, you aren’t really planning to drink it all at once, are you? The energy contained in this is huge, definitely beyond your imagination. It’s enough to raise the temperature in this room to 1 million K. A warrior with a body Energy Level of 8.0 would need a year to drink it all. If you don’t want your body to explode, put it down!”

Lin Lei glanced sideways at Moira and, without saying a word, poured the nearly five hundred milliliters of ultra-high-energy solution down his throat.

“Ah!” Moira screamed and immediately fled the room at the fastest speed. She knew that the dissociation fluid containing the dissolved energy crystal was very unstable. Doing what Lin Lei did had a very high chance of causing a massive explosion. She didn’t want to die with this madman.

Lin Lei only felt warm liquid flowing down his throat and finally settling in his stomach. Immediately after, he felt countless hot streams starting to permeate his whole body along the stomach wall. Under normal circumstances, the human stomach did not possess this function, so Lin Lei knew that the System had taken over his various internal organs.

The diffusion speed of these hot streams became faster and faster. Soon, Lin Lei’s whole body started to heat up. His skin turned blood red, faintly emitting a glow.

Various sensations of numbness and itching surfaced from deep within his body. At first, Lin Lei felt somewhat comfortable and relaxed, but this numbness and itching became more and more intense, reaching a level that Lin Lei could hardly endure.

Moreover, there was pain mixed with the numbness and itching. He didn’t know which was more, but it was unbearable either way. Lin Lei endured it all the time. He saw the blood vessels under his skin start to wriggle like snakes, and the large tendons all over his body completely bulged out. His whole body slowly turned blue-black, looking extremely terrifying.

The sound of metal striking against each other came from inside his body. This was the sound of his bone joints trembling. The sound was very faint at first, but as time passed, it became louder and denser, just like arriving at an ancient battlefield where countless people were fighting.

Eventually, this sound could no longer be heard, but Lin Lei knew it hadn’t disappeared. Its frequency had just increased beyond what his ears could hear, becoming ultrasound.

In Moira’s laboratory, various instruments started to show cracks. These cracks were dense and numerous, like a spider web.

Lin Lei’s eyes had lost their function. His attention had completely shifted to the inside of his body. The System was indeed right; this was painful, but it was indeed within the range he could endure.

Compared to the pain during the Level 2 Reinforcement, which made one question the meaning of existence, this was simply not worth mentioning!

White light began to appear before Lin Lei’s eyes. He knew this was illusory; it was just an illusion caused by the energy flow passing through his eyes.

The white light became stronger and stronger, and more and more piercing. Closing his eyes was of no use at all; that white light still existed.

This light changed from one beam to two, then three, and finally countless beams. In the end, they started to gather in his brain, forming a white ball of light. The volume of this light ball became smaller and smaller, but the light it emitted was even more piercing, like golden needles.

Finally, the light ball disappeared. After an unknown period of time, Lin Lei seemed to hear a soft “pop” sound. It was as if a supernova explosion had occurred in his brain, and endless energy rushed violently from the depths of his consciousness to all parts of his body.

At the same time, a massive explosion occurred in the laboratory. Even the ultra-high-strength alloy instruments were shaken into fragments. A fully equipped laboratory turned into ruins within a few seconds.

When the white light before Lin Lei’s eyes dissipated and his vision returned to normal, a stream of information from the System came into his brain.

“Host Lin Lei (Perfect Earth Warrior)

Height: 185CM

Weight: 100KG

Physical Energy Level: 20.0 Standard Energy Level

Maximum Attack Intensity: 6.0 Standard Energy Level

Combat Skills: Combat Element Condensation, Ultra-Fast Neural Response (Obtained from this reinforcement).

Level 3 Strengthening Reserve: 10%

Level 3 Strengthening Permission: 26/100

That’s so awesome!” After reading his body information, Lin Lei only had this one sentence to say.

Pure energy crystals, this was Lin Lei’s future goal. Just a few more pieces, and there would be no need to worry about the Level 3 Strengthening reserve.

“System, what effect can Ultra-Fast Neural Response achieve?” This was the new skill from this reinforcement. It looked like a good thing at first glance.

“Ultra-Fast Neural Response, a passive skill, generally refers to the rapid reaction ability obtained by carbon-based lifeforms breaking through the transmission speed limit of chemical electrical signals within the body. The information processing capability of the nerve center has increased by 100%.”

What a good thing. In his current state, if he were to pilot the Night Demon Mecha, he should be able to control even the slightest movements with ease.

“My God! What have you done!” The laboratory door opened, and Moira couldn’t help but exclaim at the ruins before her eyes.

“Don’t be surprised. It’s just that the wine you mixed was a bit too strong. Hehe.” Lin Lei’s clothes had long since turned into powder, and now he was naked again.

His skin became smoother and warmer, with a faint flowing light surging inside. Standing there, it was as if a halo shrouded him, naturally attracting people’s attention.

“Alright, Doctor Moira, I’ll trouble you to bring me a set of clothes again. If you like looking at my body, we can definitely find a better place to have a deep exchange.”

Moira suddenly snapped back to reality. She only felt her cheeks burning and couldn’t help but curse in a low voice. Why did this person have to grow such a monstrous body for no reason? As for the second half of Lin Lei’s sentence, she didn’t notice it.

The first thing Lin Lei did after putting on clothes was to run to the flight’s Mecha room. He logged into a new Night Demon Mecha and began to test his reinforced abilities.

Sure enough, this time, he finally felt like the Night Demon Mecha was an extension of his own arm. He could precisely control every inch of power, and he could sense every millimeter of movement. His neural reaction speed had finally caught up with his body strength.

Lin Lei stomped hard on the floor. The entire Night Demon Mecha instantly disappeared from its original spot and appeared a hundred meters away a moment later, less than 10 millimeters away from the wall of the Mecha room.

He began to move around the narrow Mecha room at full speed. The rapidly moving Mecha created a terrifying wind, and coupled with the thunderous booming sounds caused by frequently breaking the sound barrier, the momentum was magnificent.

Outside the Mecha room, the flight captain Lucius helplessly said to two mysterious figures wearing black cloaks, “You see, I simply dare not open this door. As long as I go in, I’ll definitely be killed by the air waves.”

One of the mysterious figures was very tall, about 1.9 meters, and also very strong. The one at the back was relatively short, with a graceful curve faintly revealed in the cloak. This was definitely a woman.

Lucius’s attitude was very respectful, almost to the point of being humble. He had to be this way because the two people in front of him were both Aostarians, visitors from a Level 11 Watcher Civilization. Even if the leader of the Orlantis Civilization came over, they would have to treat them with great respect.

The shorter figure stepped forward and said, “Then we will wait for him here. Captain, you can leave.”

The voice coming from within the black cloak was soft and round, as pure as a spring in the mountains. Listening to it made Lucius feel light in his bones. He nodded repeatedly, performed the etiquette representing the highest respect on Orlantis Star, and then turned to leave.

It seemed that this Lin Lei, who claimed to be an Earthling, had a background that was not so simple. Lucius walked past the corner of the flight corridor and began to re-evaluate Lin Lei, changing from a super warrior to a big shot with a deep background.

“Brother, I’m a little nervous.” Once the outsiders left, the shorter figure walked to the side of the tall mysterious person and whispered.

“Hmph, is that person worth you treating him like this?” Yan Qingming was already in a bad mood. Seeing his sister acting so anxious and gainsaid now made him even more irritated.

That’s right, they were Yan Qingming and Yan Siyu, brother and sister who had traveled all the way from Ao Star.

“I don’t know. Back on Earth, he saved my life.” Yan Siyu’s voice was a bit low. Now even she didn’t know what her attitude towards Lin Lei was. Before coming, she wanted to come very much, but now that they were truly about to meet, she wanted to back out.

Yan Qingming fell silent. His sister had told him everything that happened on Earth. Speaking of which, this Earthling man had indeed helped a lot. Everything would have to wait until they saw him.

The two stood quietly at the door of the Mecha room, listening to the faint sound of air whistling from inside, and fell into silence.
