Chapter 33: Golden Level Potential! Hayflick's Limit!
Xu Mu's gaze was dull for two seconds, and when he came back to his senses, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
This thing is simply a potential tailor-made for the G-virus!
It can suppress the side effects of G virus to the greatest extent.
Only allow good cells to undergo mitosis and kill bad cells in the cradle!
Even if normal players obtain this kind of potential, they will be even more powerful.
I hold the G-Virus myself and make good use of this potential...
Take off is just one word, and I’ll only say it once!
"However, you need to adjust the properties before using it. Once the potential level is increased, the properties cannot be reversed." Xu Mu's eyes swept over his huge inventory of 27 million points.
Before, it was like a child from a poor family had no milk to drink, and with only tens of millions of points, they were all burned up to upgrade the Blue Sky Eye a few levels.
Not to mention the backpack expansion and more VIP services of the Dimension Service Center, I can’t even imagine it!
The milk is so small, if you complain that there is not enough water, I also complain that there is not enough water.
But now it's different.
These 27 million points are like ordering ten G-cup wet nurses, waiting in line to feed Mr. Xu milk.
Spend! You can spend anything!
[You are about to reverse the potential 'Gene Enhancement', consuming 10,000 copy points. ]
[Tip: Based on your luck value, the probability of the quality being lower than purple after the reversal is 52%, the probability of maintaining purple quality is 30%, and the probability of improving quality is 18%]
"The starting price for purple potential is so expensive?" Xu Mu was stunned.
If I remember correctly, the starting price for the 'Sky Eye' potential of the previous Blue Sky Eye before it was upgraded was only 1,000 points.
Moreover, there is a risk of quality loss at present.
Even if ordinary players get this kind of purple potential, they will either sell it or use it themselves. They simply cannot afford to spend extra points to adjust attributes.
For Xu Mu, anything that can be settled with points is not a problem.
Start twisting!
[Reversal complete! 'Gene strengthening' → 'Gene weakening']
【Quality: White】
[Level: LV1]
[Effect: Your high-quality cell gene enhancement increases by 0.01%, and your low-quality cell toxicity increases by 0.01%]
Xu Mu: “…”
Damn!
How come there are still people with weakened genes...
The whole person looks strong and weak, right?
Come again!
[You are about to reverse the potential ' Gene Weakening', consuming 20,000 copy points. ]
As soon as the thought came to mind, the twist was confirmed.
The potential book in front of him was immediately enveloped by an incandescent light and began to shake violently.
The next moment.
[Reversal complete! 'Gene weakening' → 'Gene strengthening']
【Quality: Blue】
[Level: LV1]
[Effect: Your high-quality cell gene enhancement increases by 0.05%, and your low-quality cell toxicity increases by 0.03%]
"At least it's not zero improvement. There is hope." Xu Mu thought to himself and continued to twist!
After 50 times.
Xu Mu was completely numb.
"I should have asked for the orange-red quality one. Each upgrade at least gives a 0.1% improvement."
Millions of points have already been spent.
But there was no sound when the points were spent.
There was no golden light at all!
The highest color is only orange-red.
Twist it again and it may even drop directly to white, and everything starts from scratch again.
It seems that the last time the Blue Sky Eye was able to produce gold, it almost completely overdrew my luck...
Now their faces are even darker than coal.
Xu Mu now suddenly understood why those online games in his previous life could attract so many wealthy people to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars into them.
It's not that they want to smash it. No matter how rich they are, they are not stupid.
It’s mainly about the damn probability!
Once you get addicted, coupled with the sunk costs, there is no way to stop!
If I get a purple potential now, I will stop.
Wouldn't the millions of points I spent earlier make me look like a fool?
"I just don't believe this! Keep on tuning!"
How can there be a child who keeps crying, or a gambler who keeps losing?
finally!
When the score was about to reach 10 million points, a dazzling golden light came into view.
Shipped!
[Reversal completed! 'Gene Enhancement' → 'Hayflick Limit Breakthrough']
【Quality: Brilliant Gold】
[Feature: Unique]
[Level: LV1]
[Effect: All your high-quality cell genes will be strengthened by 1%! And the upper limit of cell division will be increased by +1! All your low-quality cell genes will be absorbed and cleared! ]
…
hiss!!
Xu Mu took a deep breath.
If I remember correctly, the Hayflick limit was a biological term he learned when he was in school.
That is, the average number of cell divisions in a human body is only about fifty or so, or about once every two years.
If this limit is exceeded, cells will begin to secrete toxins and cause necrosis.
The human body is mostly made up of cells.
This means that this division limit determines the upper limit of human lifespan, which will not exceed 120 years on average, excluding any disasters or diseases.
In fact, when a cell divides more than thirty times, the DNA genes carried in the cell have begun to be diluted beyond recognition, with parts missing everywhere.
As a result, all aspects of the human body's condition will rapidly deteriorate, which is commonly known as aging.
The fission limits of different species are different, but no matter which species it is, it will eventually reach the end of the Hayflick limit and face the end of its life.
So far, no scientist has been able to explain the reason for the Hayflick limit and why the cell limit setting exists.
It is as if when God wrote the program, in order to see the diversity of species, he added a layer of restriction code to the species.
However, since possessing this golden level potential.
From today onwards, the restrictions on cell division can no longer constrain Xu Mu.
As long as the potential level is raised high enough, one's own cells can undergo additional divisions.
Flesh and blood are weak, but cells soar!
"This 10 million is well worth it!" Xu Mu used it without saying a word.
The book of potential turned into thousands of golden dragon whisker threads and slowly penetrated into his body.
Soon, the whole body, including the internal organs, felt like new sprouts, and a very tingling feeling came out continuously.
It’s so itchy, I need to grow a brain!
To be honest, this process is still very uncomfortable.
Xu Mu was shaking all over because of the itchiness.
If it is an itchy skin, you can scratch it.
But if even your internal organs feel itchy, it's like scratching an itch through a shoe; you can't scratch it, and it feels like ants are crawling in your heart!
This is a serious matter.
Fortunately, the whole process lasted only a few minutes.
He raised his palm and examined himself again.
Tender!
The skin is as smooth as cream.
slip!
Enjoy the silky smoothness.
bomb!
Gently touching the skin on the back of his hand, he could clearly feel a gentle rebound force against his fingertips.
It's bad! I'm going to become a girl!
Xu Mu was so frightened that he quickly felt it.
Fortunately, despite his fair skin, Brother Kun is still there under his crotch.
And I don’t know if it’s due to psychological effects or if the genetic cells have strengthened that part as well.
Xu Mu feels a little inflated now.
Well, expansion in the physical sense.
Even the receptionist at the door of the service center opposite was staring at Xu Mu intently, her rosy lips slightly parted, her expression looking very surprised.
You are going too far by staring at my crotch!
Xu Mu changed his position and continued to count his spoils secretly.
The second potential, [Hide], is considered an auxiliary potential.
The general effect is that one can block one's own information, making it impossible for players with insight-type potential to see through one's true self.
This is also a good thing. It roams around in the dungeon all year round, and every time you get a reward, the whole floor will be notified.
It makes me feel like a little girl who was stripped naked and spread her legs for people to admire. It's really unpleasant!
With concealment, even if you can't block all the notifications, at least you can give yourself a fig leaf.
Perhaps it was because it took tens of millions of points to produce a decent quality product, this turn around was unexpectedly easy.
With only less than one million, Xu Mu successfully transformed [Hidden] into the golden quality [Midnight]
The knife pad is used as a tool.
"It's a pity that I couldn't twist out a golden grade one." Xu Mu felt a little regretful, but he was already satisfied.
This random thing is really a scam. Don’t think that one million points can be turned into gold now.
Even if you spend another 10 million points, let alone the gold level, you may not even be able to get a second gold level.
The effect of [Midnight] has also been significantly improved compared to [Hide].
Changed to "Within a certain range, the aura cannot be detected by any player or NPC"
By increasing the level, you can expand the coverage of this potential.
In other words, when I played games before, the attributes of high-level bosses were all? ? ?
Now others look at me like a boss, with all the attributes???
Afterwards, Xu Mu spent more than 6 million points to raise all his potentials except the Eye of the Blue Sky to level 60.
After the potential of the Chanjin level exceeds level 60, each upgrade requires 500,000 points, which is far beyond the range that normal players can afford.
Even Xu Mu found it a little too much to handle.
However, the benefits are also quite obvious.
The additional times of Hayflick's limit have been increased to +60 times!
This means that you have to live at least 120 years longer than others.
Considering my current physical condition, I have a good chance of living beyond 200 years old.
If you lose your last life, you can still see the rocket landing on the moon from the Qing Dynasty when you are 200 years old.
"I feel that this golden-level potential can cause unrest in the world if it is released. I wonder how many top players will compete for it."
Any real-life props related to prolonging life produced in the copy will be driven up to sky-high prices.
What's more, this kind of unlimited golden-level potential is bound to attract countless high-level players.
"Fortunately, the potential at the time of the SSS-level evaluation report is already very different from the potential after the reversal now."
"Even if someone remembers my potential, in their eyes it is just common abilities like clairvoyance, concealment, and genetic enhancement."
"After I got [Polar Night], they can no longer know my true potential."
Thinking of this, Xu Mu felt a lot more at ease.
Even though he has an SSS-level rating now, it is actually just a small matter for players in the upper world tree.
With 10 or 20 million points, if you can really reach the upper levels of the World Tree, it might just be a matter of easily clearing a dungeon.
As for other rewards such as Red Moon Coins and props, high-level players will only get more, not less.
But potential is different, especially the only potential of the Chanjin level.
No matter where it is thrown in the world, it will be a supreme treasure that countless people will scramble for!
It has to be hidden.
At this moment, a reminder sound echoed from the World Tree.
[The Dimensional World/World Tree will close in ten minutes. Players staying inside please leave immediately! To avoid unnecessary casualties! ]
"There are still ten minutes left. That's perfect. Let's go to the testing venue." Xu Mu stood up, stretched, and looked around.
Soon, the location of the testing venue was found.
As the name suggests, this is a training hall used to test the overall strength of players, so that players can evaluate themselves more accurately.
Xu Mu knew about such a place a few days ago, but he had no free time because he was busy running between the copy and reality.
In addition, the place is always packed with players, and he doesn't want to show off his fighting ability in public.
It only takes one Red Moon Coin to summon a bag of sandbags for players to test.
As soon as he entered the store, Xu Mu flicked out a coin and threw it to the NPC.
However, after seeing the paid services posted inside the venue.
He laid out nine more coins on the counter.
“Take a look at the regional rankings.”
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The NPC lady with a sweet smile took the money to do the job.
Soon, a screen of light unfolded in front of Xu Mu.
[Dolphin City Player Test Hall Ranking Record]
[First place: Mu Linlinlinlin]
Test strength: A+
Comprehensive combat power assessment: 456
…
[Second place: Tengu]
Strength during testing: A-
Comprehensive combat power assessment: 277
…
【Third place: Xiaoxiji】
Strength during testing: A-
Comprehensive combat power assessment: 273
…
The first place ID Xu Mu sounds slightly familiar.
According to the memory of the previous host, this player was the only player in Dolphin City who climbed to the fifth floor three years ago.
But later he was poached by the Grand Guild in the provincial capital, Sea City.
"Give me a new sandbag." Xu Mu threw a coin, eager to try.
The previous practice session on Machete Street was not satisfactory, as the group of people were almost knocked down by just one blow.
Now that he has been promoted again, Xu Mu is thinking of testing it so that he can have an intuitive understanding of his own strength and not act arrogantly when he encounters danger.
Soon, the rollers began to turn in the fully mechanized venue.
A sandbag was hoisted in front of Xu Mu.
After doing a set of warm-ups, Xu Mu took a running start and rushed forward, almost turning into an afterimage, and rushed to the sandbag in an instant.
A straight punch was thrown with great force!
BANG!!
The sandbag made of special impact-resistant material made a dull sound and swung backwards greatly.
The numbers on the evaluation screen in front of me jumped rapidly.
100
200
300
…
In the end, it settled at 423 points.
Slightly inferior to A+ players.
It seems that even with the dual blessings of 'divinity' and 'Haifu limit', it still seems to be a little short of the mark.
But at this moment, the NPC next to him gave a reminder.
"Sir, you can use the special drink launched by our venue to improve your combat power record. These combat power holders have all taken our special drink. The cheapest price is only 10 Red Moon Coins. The drink is only for testing purposes. It will take effect on the spot after taking it and will become invalid after leaving the venue."
"So you're all taking drugs..." Xu Mu was speechless.
Is it necessary to take drugs to test one's strength?
However, consider that even in actual dungeon combat, there are still players taking drugs .
There is nothing wrong with calculating one's own limits by taking drugs.
By the way, even the NPCs in the other world have learned how to sell...
As NPCs, do you also need to get year-end bonuses based on performance?
It’s not easy.
"Well, sir, we have low-level special drinks, mid-level special drinks, and high-level special drinks. Which one would you like to choose?"
Which one?
I don’t want any of them.
"No, I have my own." Xu Mu flipped his hand and took out the G virus from his backpack.
With the coordination of Haifu's ultimate potential, the G virus is no longer harmful to him.
Moreover, the effect is permanent after injection.
However, if you want to continue to maintain the state after injecting the G virus, you need to consume your spirit. When the spirit tank is empty, the state will stop.
Xu Mu was looked at with a little surprise by the NPC.
He bit off the needle cap with his mouth and inserted the needle directly into his arm muscles, which had become angular and well-shaped.
Come on! G-Virus, show me your limits!
