Richard took a hard look at his physical state after taking the drug, and after a moment, looked down at his hands.

I saw that without any external interference, his hands quickly turned black and blackened. It was as if an invisible rope was used to strangle the blood vessels in the wrist, but in a few seconds, the hands lost their blood color and appeared crippled, and the surface was extremely cold, like ice cubes.

After that, Richard's mind moved, a slight tingling sensation was born, and a large amount of blood poured into his hands, and he returned to normal in an instant.

Richard raised his eyebrows, his gaze retracting from his hands and falling to his arms. The next moment, as if by magic, there was no movement in both arms, but the muscles on them bulged one after another, and after the drumming, they quickly flattened and returned to normal.

"Whew-ho-"

After looking at it, Richard took a deep breath and smiled, which can be regarded as the first change brought about by the "blood of the high god", that is: increased his ability to control his body.

Yes, it increases the ability to control the body, and in detail, it means that he can use the body more freely.

It is important to understand that although each person's body belongs only to him/herself, this does not mean that a person can have complete control over everything that his body does.

To give a simple example, one can never commit suicide by holding one's breath in a normal state. Even if you hold your breath to the point of suffocation and coma, once you faint, the lower nerve centers of the brain will take over the breathing function and maintain normal breathing on their own.

For another example, when a person walks, he needs to mobilize the triceps, quadriceps, and 13 large muscle groups in the waist and abdomen to complete the walking action, which is an extremely complex cooperation process that requires precise coordination.

But a normal person walking, will not be so strenuous at all, as long as the corresponding signal is transmitted to the brain, then the relevant partitions of the brain will automatically perform the call of the corresponding function to complete the walking.

Many functions of the human body are not 100% controlled by people's free consciousness, and a large part of them are set in advance and done for them by the brain divisions.

This can be thought of as the human body is like a computer with a system, and with a few clicks on the system, the system will help you operate the various hardware (muscles, bones, etc.) of the computer.

This is obviously very convenient, and it can be regarded as a correct way of evolution, after all, it can bring out the high-level thinking function of the brain, and is not occupied by a series of tedious things such as "controlling breathing", "controlling heartbeat", "controlling hormone secretion in the body", etc.

Otherwise, just walking requires a lot of muscle groups that require thinking and coordination, and it can break a person's mind.

Can you imagine that just taking two steps in daily life requires thinking about the various states of the thirteen major muscle groups, which is similar to solving a thirteen-element equation all the time. And this equation changes constantly with the road conditions, and if you try to run or climb a mountain, the difficulty increases dramatically.

It is precisely because of the evolution of the human brain that some basic functions are responsible for specific partitions, so that there is no such trouble.

Speaking of which, the process of human or biological evolution is a process of functional differentiation, from the initial single-celled organism, little by little, becoming more and more complex, differentiating into many different structures, each responsible for different functions, and finally becoming an advanced organism.

In other words, it is the "big project" of the human body that has been subcontracted and subcontracted layer by layer that has created the advanced level of human beings.

Thanks for subcontracting and subcontracting.

However, having said that, although this kind of evolution has made humans advanced creatures, it has also lost absolute control over body parts and lost a lot of freedom.

In one way, it's about protecting humanity. In order to protect human beings from injury, human beings cannot secrete a specific hormone in the body as they want, cannot stop the heart, and cannot directly control the death of a certain part of the cells.

This kind of protection can ensure that there will be no people in the human community who die because of curiosity about how fast the heart can beat, so that human beings can continue better.

On the other hand, to a certain extent, this prevents the stronger individuals within the human race from exerting their abilities - the same restriction is protection for the weaker object, and it is a restriction for the stronger object.

After all, sometimes, it is more efficient to leave some rigid functions to the lower nerve center to deal with it, rather than for the more capable person to use the higher nerve center to deal with it.

In this way, under special circumstances, people with strong abilities can pay the price of injuring the body, and burst out with more powerful strength and faster speed to achieve specific goals and get rid of some kind of danger.

To give an example: when human beings fight, they will always secrete adrenaline when they are extremely dangerous and excited, so that human beings can multiply their abilities and complete the ultimate counter-killing and turn danger into disaster.

However, if a person can control the secretion of adrenaline on his own, he can secrete adrenaline at the beginning of the battle, get an increase in ability, and simply eliminate the opponent.

In comparison, there is no difference in the amount of adrenaline produced by the two, but the latter has succeeded in making the dangers and dangers disappear and make things easier.

Richard has now obtained this ability through medicine, and to a certain extent, he can directly control the activities of basic parts of the body beyond certain areas of the brain.

Therefore, the blood flow in the hands can be suddenly cut off, and the muscles of the arms can beat in turn.

To borrow the terminology of the mobile phone industry on the earth, to sum it up in one sentence, that is, Richard successfully rooted his body,

Yes, rooted.

He successfully obtained the superuser rights of the "mobile phone" operating system of the body, which allows him to bypass the restrictions of the "mobile phone manufacturer" (biological mechanism) and perform various operations more freely.

This is not necessarily a good thing for the rest of the people, especially some "little whites", it is easy to delete any important part of the "mobile phone" of their body, resulting in damage (death). However, for Richard, it does more harm than good, and he can do a lot of things more conveniently.

Some things, usually he needs to use drugs or external instruments to achieve, now he only needs to control his body to complete.

For example, if you can't sleep, you need to take sleep aids, but now you can fall asleep in a second if you want to. The brain's biological clock then automatically clocks in and wakes up precisely after a predetermined number of hours.

In addition, with a little upgrading, the brain can divide a certain area and keep time, so that you know what time it is at any time.

Taking it a step further, the brain can precisely monitor changes in any part of the body. Inflammation, bone hyperplasia, tumor cells, etc., once they appear, they can be detected and dealt with in time.

Furthermore, the brain can control the cells of some parts of the body to speed up the division and promote the recovery of injuries, and can also control the collective death of some parts of the cells, similar to the gecko's ability to "cut off its tail to survive".

Of course, these examples, the further back you go, the more difficult it is to realize. Richard determined that he could only achieve the first one at present, and as for the latter kind, he would need to configure and take more "high-level divine blood" to achieve it.

But in any case, the effect of the "blood of the high-level gods" is indeed powerful, and this is only the first aspect.
