Chapter 301 Evolution is inhuman
Xiao Jie came to the window, opened it casually, looked at the night view of the city outside the window, felt the night wind blowing in his face, and his mood was quite ups and downs.
Today was a day full of ups and downs. He improved his Qi refining skills to the seventh level, returned to Fengyin State through Jiaomul Ridge, helped White Ape survive, organized a plan to go to Guiwu Ridge tomorrow, and finally learned three magic arts.
Now it's time to experience the rewards of this day.
After all, the power in the game is not deeply felt. The power in reality is the real power.
Demonic magic - Eagle Eye Technique!
Xiao Jie silently used his magic power, and his eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and even the pupils turned into those of an eagle.
Suddenly, the night scene in the distance became extremely clear.
Even people watching TV in the windows of a building thousands of meters away can be clearly seen.
Xiao Jie's eyes slowly swept across the city night. The apartment he lived in was on a high floor and had a good view, so he could see several streets.
This spell is really magical.
The biggest advantage is that it is not as scary to use as the Qi Refining Secret Technique. After all, the mana can be restored by itself.
Unfortunately, these three sorceries are of little use in reality.
Eagle Eye Technique is equivalent to the effect of a high-magnification telescope.
Although Leopard's Swiftness has a significant effect on improving combat effectiveness, his combat skills are almost useless in reality. With his body skills, he is already a superman for ordinary people, so it is of little significance if he cannot activate Leopard's Swiftness.
As for the demon fire spell, this offensive spell is even more useless.
But it doesn't matter. When you advance to become a demon refining master, there will no longer be such restrictions, and you will be able to learn some truly powerful demon arts.
For example, he can transform into a demon. He has been yearning for flying for a long time. It would be cool if he could learn how to transform into a bird.
Although Qinggong is quite enjoyable, it is not real flying after all.
After testing the spell, Xiao Jie immediately checked his body again.
He must confirm how much influence this Qi Refining Technique has on himself and whether he is still the same person as before.
He has already experienced the benefits of Qi refining, including invulnerability, immortality, and protection against gods and ghosts... Well, this is useless, after all, he has never seen ghosts and gods in reality.
But the side effects still need to be confirmed. What he is most worried about is whether this thing will make him numb and callous.
Xiao Jie clicked on the D drive and opened a folder called learning materials, which contained a lot of video materials.
Opening one at random, Xiao Jie patiently watched it.
The more he looked at it, the more he frowned. Looking at the lively scene in the picture, Xiao Jie felt nothing in his heart, and there was no reaction at all from below.
I changed to a large-scale one and watched it for a while, but still no reaction.
All these passionate scenes failed to stir up any emotion in Xiao Jie's eyes.
I wonder, this Qi refining technique must have been disabled by yourself, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Jie became more and more panicked.
This is not because he is too vulgar, but men attach great importance to certain aspects of their abilities. This is not only a matter of physiological function, but also a manifestation of male characteristics.
No, this should just be a psychological factor. While his Qi Refining Technique was upgrading, he also gained memories and information related to Qi Refining Technique in his mind. However, these memories were incomplete, as if they were forced in. It was impossible. system.
In the past, although Xiao Jie had some proficiency in the experience and memory of these skills, he often did not seek to understand them deeply - there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, to learn martial arts, you need to understand knowledge such as meridians and acupuncture points. If you want to learn it from scratch, it would be too time-consuming. Big.
In the past, Xiao Jie just made sure that there was no problem in using it, but this time, he felt that he had to study and understand it.
Turning off the educational video, Xiao Jie sat down cross-legged on the bed and entered a state of concentrating and refining his energy.
This state is the posture used by the Qi Refiner specifically to absorb spiritual energy. Not only can he absorb spiritual energy, but he can also use the technique of voyeurism to observe his own changes by observing the movement of spiritual energy.
Xiao Jie wanted to see what this Qi refining technique was all about.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the huge spiritual energy in his body, which was completely different from the game where the screen looked brighter.
It was as if a storm was surging inside me.
As soon as you inhale, you will be filled with spiritual energy, and as soon as you exhale, you will be filled with spiritual energy.
Using the Qi-gazing technique, you can clearly see the movement of spiritual energy in the blood and meridians of the limbs and five bones.
With a thought in Xiao Jie's mind, his spiritual energy gathered, and he immediately reacted.
Okay, okay, Xiao Jie felt relieved.
He continued to use his spiritual energy to control the changes in his body. The more he moved, the more surprising he became. Not only could he use his spiritual energy to control his own instincts, but every organ, every blood vessel, every inch of skin, and every gland in his body could pass through it. Perfect manipulation of Reiki.
In fact, not only has he not lost his ability, but in his current state, Xiao Jie can clearly feel that he can maintain it as long as he wants.
His control over himself has reached a state where he can do whatever he wants. He can take as long as he wants, rise when he thinks of it, and fall when he wants to.
This is the power of the seventh level of Qi Refining.
The reason why I had five senses before was mainly due to psychological problems. I seemed to have lost some emotions.
However, despite this, Xiao Jie still frowned.
He has long passed the state of feeling ecstatic about gaining slight power. Now he can think more. This newly acquired power makes him happy, but the changes that have happened to him still make people feel a little worried.
Humans are animals driven by desires, and desires often come from the body's instinctive reactions.
Human beings long for food precisely because they are hungry, they long for power because they are weak, they long for lust because of their animal nature, they long for wealth because of poverty, they long for respect because of their namelessness, they long for freedom because of restraint, and they long for safety because of fear.
When all these desires are satisfied, human beings gain happiness and fulfillment.
It can be said that a person's character, pursuit, and life goals all unfold from this.
All of this makes oneself, although not perfect, unique.
But now I can control my body's hormone secretion, whether it's cold, warm, full or hungry, and I can even completely control my emotions. I feel happy when I want to be happy, and sad when I want to be sad. As long as I activate the corresponding glands and secrete the corresponding hormones, it will happen naturally.
If you don't want to experience joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, just turn off all these functions, and you can always remain calm and composed like a bystander, and deal with everything with the most rational thinking.
At best, it is called having no desires and no demands, the mind is like still water, and it is detached and free.
At worst, it can also be said that it is gradually losing its humanity. If it continues like this and eventually turns into a walking zombie with no desires, no waves, and even no motivation for life, then what will happen?
Although you can use your body's abilities at any time, what if one day you feel that things between men and women are meaningless and never engage in such activities again?
Just like the immortals in those novels about cultivating immortals, they are pure in heart and have few desires, and forget their love when they are too great. It sounds very beautiful and free, but when he thinks of himself becoming like that, Xiao Jie feels a little cold in his heart.
Is that kind of me still myself? What's the difference between being brainwashed?
The changes brought about by this game are indeed magical, but they are also full of threats, making people no longer human and losing their sense of self.
Will it still be me in the future? Or is it a monster in his own body?
This is not just a worry, in fact now Xiao Jie feels that he seems to have a tendency in this regard.
As long as you don't deliberately activate some of your physiological functions, it is assumed that they don't need to be activated.
Just like eating, I used to enjoy all kinds of food, especially eating a big meal when I was hungry. Now I can no longer experience that kind of satisfaction.
Although I can still eat normally and taste the food, it is nothing compared to the feeling of satisfaction in the past.
Similarly, he can no longer experience the feelings of warmth and coolness, because for him, the temperature is always suitable, and he has even lost the concept of temperature.
Xiao Jie stretched out a hand and felt the night wind blowing in his face. He felt neither cold nor hot, just an invisible air flow.
I frowned and thought for a while, no, An Ran!
Xiao Jie suddenly remembered the 'fairy fruit' that An Ran took a picture of yesterday. At that time, he was only slightly uneasy and did not think about it in detail. Now that he thinks about it, the impact of that thing on people is probably no less than that of Qi Refining, and That kind of change may not be as calm as the Qi Refining Technique.
The monsters in the Monster Star Tower are all inhumane and have completely transformed into monsters. I am afraid that it is exactly the opposite of Qi Refining. Qi Refining makes individuals lose their desires, and the 'fairy fruit' probably makes people completely dominated by desires.
That's why the monsters in the Monster Star Tower will mate and reproduce endlessly, killing and devouring each other.
Because predation and reproduction are the most basic desires and instincts of living things.
He quickly took out his phone and called An Ran.
"Hey, An Ran, are you there?"
An Ran's voice was a little surprised: "Here, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Have you eaten that 'fairy fruit' of yours?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
"Don't eat it. I think there's something wrong with that thing. It's best not to eat it randomly."
An Ran was silent for a moment, "What's the problem?"
Xiao Jie opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start. "Things are a bit complicated. Let's talk about it when we meet. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"I just want to thank you for your help these days. Why don't I treat you to a meal and let's talk while eating."
"That's okay. Let's meet at Huifeng Building."
Half an hour later, Xiao Jie was sitting in a box on the second floor of Huifeng Building, waiting for An Ran's arrival.
His mind was still wrapped up in philosophical musings about self-awareness.
Xiao Jie is still hesitant about whether he should make some adjustments to his own changes, such as turning off the characteristic of being immune to cold and heat that affects his perception of the outside world.
He wasn't even sure if he could turn off this function. After all, these traits were passive effects and seemed unable to be changed.
"Sir, do you need service...hey, I mean ordering?" a young waitress asked in a slightly excited tone.
Xiao Jie glanced at the young waiter, wondering why this girl was so interested in that.
"Oh, no need at the moment, thank you, I have to wait for a friend first."
"Oh, then I'll be outside first. You can call me at any time."
The waiter left, but there was a faint conversation between two waiters outside.
Originally, it was normally inaudible through the box door, but Xiao Jie now has six-way ears and eyes, and his hearing is extremely strong, so he can still hear clearly.
"Wow, that boy just now was so handsome."
"Yes, yes, I saw it too, it looks like Li Xiaoran."
"I think he is more handsome than Li Xiaoran, and he has an indescribable temperament."
Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment. Li Xiaoran is a very popular male star recently. Li Xiaoran must be handsome. He thought to himself, are you talking about me?
He is very clear about his appearance, which is above average, with good facial features and a bit of delicacy. When he tidies up, he can look like a seven-pointer. When he doesn't tidy up, he can only look like a six-pointer.
The door suddenly opened, and An Ran walked in.
When An Ran saw him, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with a very exaggerated expression and tone: "Wow! I mean - wow!"
Xiao Jie was speechless for a moment, "What do you mean by this tone?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that you seem to have become handsome all of a sudden." An Ran said and sat down, but her eyes always stayed on his face.
Xiao Jie's heart moved and he touched his face thoughtfully. It seemed that he had indeed become more handsome. Could it be the result of Qi refining?
He looked at the window to the side, and through the reflection of the glass, he could clearly see his appearance.
The facial features are exquisite and three-dimensional, the eyes are as deep as stars, and the figure is handsome. Even the hair that has not been taken care of for a long time has become messy and a little elegant.
What's even more amazing is that the fair skin exudes a faint luster under the light, and the cold face reveals a kind of calmness and indifference that transcends all things.
When people see it, they will even feel a sense of detachment, as if they regard the world as nothing.
Xiao Jie was slightly stunned. A person's appearance is often determined by many aspects, including skin, facial features, body shape, and temperament.
My appearance in the mirror has not changed much, the biggest change is in my temperament.
This should be the change brought about by the Qi Refining Technique. This Qi Refining Technique transforms one's body from the inside out, not only making the body stronger and acquiring various qualities, but also improving the appearance.
No wonder those waiters were amazed, and even Xiao Jie himself was in a daze for a moment - am I so damn handsome?
However, despite this emotion, Xiao Jie did not feel too much joy, and his heart was still calm, which made him feel something was wrong even more. Although this change was good, if it were his past self, he would definitely I was so happy that I even used my good looks to pick up girls, enjoy life, and feel all kinds of passion and happiness.
But at this moment, he had no thoughts in this regard, and he was not even too excited about the improvement in appearance.
It seems that he has changed unknowingly. The scary thing is that he didn't notice it at all. If Yuan Bai hadn't mentioned the matter of picking up girls to him today, he might even have ignored it until he completely lost interest in women.
