Chapter 118 Charm Sublimation, Purity Is Too Low, the Realm of Mystery (4K)

"Bang-bang-bang-bang--"

Beside the large swimming pool on the deck, Xue Jing was wearing only a pair of beach shorts. His body was absolutely perfect for the human species, and there was no flaw in it. He was lying on a lounge chair, wearing sunglasses and basking in the sun.

The sound of the crew repairing the cruise ship came to his ears. At this time, half a day had passed since the attack of the sea bee swarm, and the time came to ten o'clock the next morning.

After solving the sea bee swarm last night, it was too late and the crew consumed too much energy in fear, so they just roughly blocked the holes in the bottom of the ship to prevent further water inflow, and then they all rested.

The real repair work started the next morning.

During this period, several rescue ships approached carefully, and after a conversation with the management of the Infinite Nova, they took away many psychologically traumatized and seriously injured passengers during the refuge.

Xue Jing originally planned to board the rescue ship, but no rescue ship was bound for Fengcheng. All of them were to send passengers back to Qingcheng or other places nearby.

The Infinite Star was originally going to return, but after the captain learned that Xue Jing, the benefactor who saved the entire ship, was heading for Fengcheng, he decided to send Xue Jing on his way and let the Infinite Star go to Fengcheng for repairs.

So it was now.

Picking up a glass of freshly squeezed juice on the small table next to him and taking a sip, Xue Jing stretched his waist, sat up, and took off his big sunglasses.

"Splash--"

The swimming pool in front of him was splashing water, and Ning Fengwan's slender figure appeared on the water. She reached out and touched the escalator beside the swimming pool and climbed ashore.

The cat-eared girl did not wear glasses. At this time, she was wearing a black and white backless sexy one-piece swimsuit, which showed her curvy figure to the fullest.

As soon as she got ashore, she tilted her head and reached out to pat her head. The cat ears on her head shook, as if to pat out the water inside.

Then the whole person was exactly like a cat shaking off water, and began to shake wildly, shaking her black hair into a black shadow.

Countless water droplets and mist burst out from her body, soaking Xue Jing in front of her.

Xue Jing wiped his face and looked at her speechlessly.

"Huh~"

Ning Fengwan raised her chin proudly, took a sip of the juice in Xue Jing's hand.

Then she looked around.

"... There really is no one except us."

The huge water park on the deck is now empty with only the two of them.

If it weren't for the knocking sound of the ship repair, the whole cruise ship would be like a ghost ship.

Xue Jing waved his hand and sighed softly: "I don't understand what these passengers want to do."

Although the rescue ship took away many passengers, there are still at least two thousand passengers left on this ship.

Even if the sea bee swarm attacked yesterday, most people didn't have the heart to play, but it's not to say that there was no one.

In fact, when Xue Jing first came to the water park, there were still dozens of passengers playing here.

However, after seeing him coming, all the passengers quieted down and bowed respectfully to him.

Some people even made a prayer gesture to him, like worshiping Buddha.

Then everyone left the water park area one after another, leaving only Xue Jing and Ning Fengwan.

"This strange skill of Charm..."

Xue Jing opened the panel and took a look.

[Charm Lv10 (3221/?)]

[Sublimation conditions:

First, ? ? ? ? ? (Already satisfied)

Second, the level reaches Lv10 (Already satisfied)

Third, the required divinity: 1000]

Last night, he killed the Queen Bee Soldier and was standing on the deck pretending to be a master.

Suddenly, countless panel prompts popped up.

[Someone has faith and worship in you, Charm experience +89]

[…Charm experience +102]

[…Charm experience +133]

[…Charm…]

Countless prompts directly raised his Charm, which had just been upgraded to Lv9, to Lv10.

Then the same skill upgrade prompt as [Fitness] was triggered.

Unlike fitness, which still does not know the specific ‘condition one’, although the condition one of Charm is also a question mark, it directly shows ‘satisfied’.

Now, only the last condition, one thousand divinity, is missing to upgrade this skill.

But… it’s a bit annoying.

Xue Jing shook his head.

He has always been a bit annoyed with the Charm skill and doesn’t like it very much.

But this is the skill that is easiest for him to gain experience.

Just like yesterday, when he was pretending to be an expert and was seen by so many passengers, he directly raised it to Lv10.

It would be great if so many experience points could be given to other skills besides [Cooking].

"To be fair, Charm is indeed useful."

Xue Jing thought.

Since he got the panel after traveling through time, he has benefited a lot from Charm.

Many people's kindness and goodwill towards him are due to the charm technique... Although he has not thought about it specifically, he also understands that this skill has brought him many benefits.

However, he just doesn't like this skill.

How to say it... It doesn't fit his aesthetics.

There is no pure beauty of strength.

This skill is very strong, but it is the kind of 'impure strength'.

In short, it is a crooked way, just... very disgusting.

The purity is too low.

Even if he knows that once this skill is sublimated, it will definitely be more exaggerated and will bring more benefits, he doesn't want to use divinity on this skill.

Just like when playing games, there is a skill that is very useful, but it is not cool enough, I don't like it, and I don't want to use it.

"Just leave it like this, and I will sublimate it for you when I have too much divinity to use it up one day."

Xue Jing looked at the experience bar behind the charm level on the panel.

(3221/?)

The experience points required for upgrading have become question marks.

However, experience points can still be obtained, 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?

While thinking about it, Ning Fengwan next to him yawned.

"... The two people from the 'Giant God Brigade' we met yesterday."

The girl said.

"These two people are probably not dead yet."

Xue Jing interrupted his thoughts and was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Oh? What 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 recliner. Her plump buttocks were slightly squeezed by the swimsuit. As she sat down, she became more perky because of her posture, and exuded amazing sexy charm against the background of her slender waist.

"It's said that she is not dead... I don't know if it counts as not dead."

The girl reached out and put her wet black hair behind her ears. This action had a very wonderful feminine flavor. From Xue Jing's angle, he could clearly see her exposed white neck.

"You know about 'consciousness uploading' in science fiction novels, right?"

Xue Jing raised his eyebrows:

"This is very cyber... Has our technology advanced to this level?"

Ning Fengwan shook her head:

"With our own technology alone, there are still many unsolvable problems, and we can't do this for the time being."

"However, there is a company called 'Deep Blue Network' that has successfully mastered the technology of 'consciousness uploading' in some way."

Xue Jing asked curiously: "What method?"

Ning Fengwan combed her long hair with her fingers and said casually: "I don't know."

"This is the most fundamental core secret of their company, and it is impossible to reveal it to the outside world... However, many people speculate that Deep Blue Company may have a borderland creature that exists in the form of a 'conscious life form', so it has mastered 'consciousness uploading'."

"In short, since Deep Blue Company acquired this technology decades ago, many people have chosen to upload their consciousness to the Deep Blue Network for backup."

"Of course, this is very expensive."

She rolled her long hair with her fingers and looked at Xue Jing.

"Border hunter groups like the Giant God Brigade do things that ordinary people can't do. Although they are in danger of losing their lives, everyone is very rich, so the cost of uploading consciousness is not unaffordable for them."

"I checked the bodies of these two people yesterday and found that their thalamus was stuffed with a dark blue ball connected to countless nerves."

"Then I went to the inner world forum to check and found that this small ball is used to upload one's consciousness 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 the woman, who stared at him with love before she died.

I originally thought it was because they had been wandering between life and death for many years, but now it seems that this is also the reason.

"But in the end, it's hard to say whether the digitized self after uploading consciousness 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 currently masters 'consciousness uploading'? Then wouldn't they be able to master countless secrets?"

Ning Fengwan said: "Of course, they will sign a very strict agreement that does not allow infringement of customer privacy... But it's hard to say whether they will abide by it."

"Aren't the real secrets known only to big people... It seems that no one who can be called a 'big person' has uploaded consciousness to Deep Blue Network... After all, this technology has only been around for a few decades. Many concepts, ethics, and considerations based on many aspects have made consciousness uploading not so popular, and Deep Blue Network's market value is therefore ranked very low among giant companies."

She paused and continued:

"Besides, there are more ways to extend life than just uploading consciousness... Only people like the Giant God Brigade who often encounter life-and-death crises at the physical level, have the need to extend life, and have no access to other methods of extending life, will choose to upload 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 to 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 smelled the salty sea breeze, listened to the endless sound of waves, closed his eyes, and sank into it.

In the consciousness space, countless pixel blocks rotated and emerged, constructing the Infinite Nova that was exactly the same as in reality.

Then Xue Jing's own body appeared on the ship.

Yesterday, because he was too tired, he went to sleep directly, and didn't have time to test how much stronger he had become.

As soon as he thought about it, countless pixels gathered in front of him and turned into an exaggerated barbell.

The huge black barbell plates on both sides were stuffed full, and it was obvious that the weight was incredible.

Xue Jing walked forward, stretched out his hand to hold the barbell, and lifted it up with a tense muscle.

"A ton of weight... not bad."

Xue Jing lifted the barbell above his head. The alloy bar could hardly bear the weight of the barbell plates on both sides, and it bent into a bow, making a metal twisting sound under the heavy load.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had tested the specific physical strength value.

Xue Jing turned the barbell in his hand around and threw it upward with force.

"Crack--"

The alloy barbell 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 interfere with his own reality with his spirit and exert combat power beyond the limit of his own body.

Just like him, in terms of purely physical physical strength, he can only lift one or two tons, and at most it should not exceed five tons.

This level of strength sounds quite powerful, but in fact, it can't even lift a steamroller.

If the strength is added, it may be able to exert seven or eight tons of strength, but it is still nothing, and the combat power is just so-so.

However, what is his actual combat performance?

A knife can cut out a sword energy that stretches more than ten meters away, and even with the shadow flame, it can swing out a black tornado and form a dragon sucking water on the sea surface.

Let's not talk about how powerful it is, the range is outrageous, and it is not something that a few tons of strength can do.

Xue Jing's mind moved, and the pixels in front of him gathered and turned into a majestic figure.

"Come on, senior brother, it has to be you."

Xue Jing clenched his fists and the fists collided twice.

After the figure of senior brother Meng Boshan appeared, he glanced at Xue Jing, nodded calmly, as if to say hello.

Xue Jing was stunned when he saw this.

It seems that after the upgrade of visualization·true, the person simulated by consciousness has become more agile.

"Turning wind thunder·extreme——"

"Boom!"

Meng Boshan put his hands behind his back and took the punch with his chest. The front of his shirt burst open, revealing his strong chest muscles.

It was covered with dense dragon scale marks, which was much more delicate and detailed than the dragon scale skin used by Xue Jing.

"...Even part of his personality seems to have reappeared. He clearly used his arm to block this move before."

Xue Jing was speechless.

He felt that he was being played by the senior brother.

He thought and recovered his injuries.

"Speaking of which, I have also comprehended the last Mokukanryu, and I have learned all five killer moves of Canglongryu."

"The next step is the ultimate realm of the five killer moves in one."

"Ultimate move: Point the Eye... How do I do it specifically?"

Xue Jing's eyes were thoughtful.

...
