Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Awakened
What made Lin Hai lose his temper was the data of soul energy.
In fact, Lin Hai's first sight was of course the soul strength data, but this data only rose by one point, reaching fifteen points, although this value would make Lin Hai happy, but he would never be surprised, what surprised Lin Hai was the three-digit soul energy data on the side of the number 'fifteen'.
One hundred and fifty?!
Is there something wrong?!
"W-isn't it?"
Lin Hai subconsciously muttered to himself, but he didn't expect the black cat to answer:
"This is normal, when the multiplier of soul energy points and soul strength reaches ten times, it means that you have truly become an awakened person."
Lin Hai swallowed his saliva, trying to calm himself down, and then tasted the deep meaning of the black cat's words.
"You mean that the relationship between this magnification change and soul strength is not fixed?"
"Yes, it has more to do with the type of intelligent life, like our race will reach ten times as soon as it enters adulthood, and the soul strength at this time is generally only about ten points."
Lin Hai glanced at the black cat suspiciously, but even if the black cat was putting gold on his own race, Lin Hai could understand it, so he nodded and asked:
"Will this rate go up?"
"Of course, this multiplier will continue to rise with the strength of the soul, the speed of the rise and the magnitude of the rise will vary according to the individual's situation, the average data, about ten points of soul strength will increase, and this multiplier will double."
Lin Hai raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"Isn't the soul energy points an astronomical number when the soul strength is one hundred points?"
The black cat glanced at Lin Hai with disdain:
"Hundreds of thousands of soul energy can also be called astronomical? Who did you learn math with? ”
Lin Hai, a liberal arts student, laughed dryly, and the black cat continued:
"This is just an upper limit data, whether it can be fully stocked is another matter, and also, the consumption of soul energy by soul skills is quite powerful, for example, I need to consume 100 soul energy for a projection, and the props I used just now also need to consume 150 soul energy. This is just a very ordinary skill, and even a slightly stronger skill can cost hundreds or even tens of thousands of points. ”
Lin Hai's eyes widened in surprise, and the black cat pursed his lips:
"Not to mention the consumption of those strong people building virtual parallel worlds, or the creation of worlds using great skills to create worlds, that's astronomical."
Lin Hai thought about it, it seems that his vision is still too narrow, but this is also understandable, how can a rookie awakened person look at the problem from the perspective of an enlightener or even an awakened person.
"Hehe, sure enough, everything is inseparable from soul energy."
"That's right, I told you a long time ago that soul energy is the most important thing."
"Oh, then why are my Soul Energy Points being replenished? Is it an upgrade benefit? ”
The black cat couldn't help but roll her eyes:
"Fart's upgrade benefits, the soul energy points you collect are all Uncle Ben... It's all the redundancy and overflow of the skills I just activated, and the ones that I didn't consume from the experience just now will be gathered on you easily. ”
Lin Hai glanced at the black cat strangely:
"Is it possible that the soul energy points that have been invested in skills but have not been consumed cannot be recovered by me?"
"You think too much, this can be recycled, but the efficiency of recycling is not as high as directly transferring it to you who are within the scope of the skill, I simply transfer the remaining soul energy to you in line with the principle of not wasting it, anyway, you will ask me when you run out, right?"
Lin Hai scratched his head a little embarrassed:
"It seems to be."
The black cat pouted again:
"You'd better not keep these bad habits, like scratching your head when you're embarrassed, wringing your fingers, and so on."
Lin Hai was stunned, and the black cat's jump was a little bigger:
"You don't care about this?"
"Hey, do you think that the Awakened you meet in the future are all well-intentioned? This kind of behavior of yours showing your emotions can easily make people see through your thoughts, and you will suffer in the future. ”
Lin Hai Zhengse said:
"Taught, thank you. Let's get down to business, I wonder if the recovery ability of my Soul Energy Points has also improved? ”
The black cat smiled and replied mockingly:
"If you're talking about the absolute value of recovery, it's really increased, but the proportion and speed of recovery don't make the same jump."
"Hey, you're saying that the recovery of soul energy points is done according to the percentage?"
"Of course, otherwise you think it's a fixed number of points per unit of time?"
"I really thought it was a certain value per unit of time, but why should it be based on a percentage?"
The black cat sighed helplessly:
"I'm also a liberal arts student, so what I want to say is that you just need to remember that this is the case, and as for why, maybe you will understand it when you devote yourself to cutting-edge technology research and development in the future."
"Isn't it true that I'll understand when my soul is strong?"
The black cat replied angrily:
"Ye Xuexin's soul is stronger than yours, do you think she knows these things better than you?"
"Uh, okay, let's get down to business, can we move on to the next step, I mean, can my soul energy points and soul strength take on the skill you said?"
The black cat was silent for a moment before replying:
"Theoretically, you do have what it takes to use that skill, but... I think it's better to wait until your soul strength reaches twenty points, after all, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, and the higher your redundancy, the higher the probability of success. ”
"Accidents? What accident? ”
"Then who knows, it's an accident to know, Ye Xuexin is a person who has the ability to create ultra-miniature iteration virtual copies, in case you are involved in that layer of nested copies, and your soul strength is insufficient, it is likely that both of you will be lost in it forever."
"Then I won't get lost when my soul strength reaches twenty points? Why? What should I do? ”
"Don't you think it's too early for you to ask this? If I were you, I would be more concerned about what's in front of me. ”
"Hehe, okay, what do you do now? Do you want to experience it again? ”
"There's no need, I originally planned to let you experience the world of these psychopaths a few more times, and I'm going to let you experience the mental journey of the most vicious criminals, but now it seems that it is not necessary."
"Why? Because I've formed my own soul world? ”
"Yes."
"Haha, this shows that my understanding is still very good, right?"
The black cat hung his head helplessly, and replied a little weakly:
"Can a person who has been enlightened dozens of times before awakening not mention the word understanding?"
"Uh... Am I a late bloomer, can't I strike a preemptive shot? ”
“... Are you sure you really have big... Utensil? ”
Lin Hai was stunned, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"It turns out that you can also say yellow jokes!"
The black cat didn't bother to pay attention to Lin Hai, who was smiling very narrowly, and waited for Lin Hai to laugh enough before he spoke:
"Next, you continue to take on the task, quickly increase the soul strength to nineteen points, and then I will arrange for you to enter a virtual parallel world copy."
"Virtual alternate world copies? What is that? ”
"You can understand it as a game world with a high level of realism."
"A game world? Can you break through the bottleneck of 20 points by playing a game? ”
"What's wrong with the game? Don't you often say that life is like a play? ”
Lin Hai put away the smile on his face and looked at the black cat seriously:
"Well, I believe you."
"Wise choice, don't underestimate this virtual copy, you can't get in without me, this is a virtual copy created specifically to break through the first bottleneck."
Lin Hai's eyes rolled:
"This copy isn't for our Earth, is it?"
"Hehe, you're thinking too much, how can it be aimed at earthlings? This is an open-charge Trials quest for all awakened people who can connect to the Zone. ”
"But didn't you just say that this copy is not accessible to anyone who wants to?"
"Of course, you need to buy permissions."
"Is this a monopoly?"
The corner of the black cat's mouth twitched:
"Yes, it is also a kind of protection for the weak, respect for the strong, and maintenance of order."
Lin Hai also pouted, and said in his heart that this is obviously beneficial to those with vested interests, what kind of protection? However, it is also understandable that if you are a vested interest from another angle, you will definitely be willing to see this ubiquitous hierarchical superiority and monopoly superiority.
"The failure of this quest has the potential to have serious adverse consequences for the trialists, so someone must evaluate and judge the trialists, so entering this quest requires a qualified referrer to purchase permissions."
The black cat's explanation made Lin Hai a little embarrassed, it seemed that he had a little villain's heart, but Lin Hai always felt that there was a deep meaning in this approach, and behind the seemingly thoughtful setting, it seemed to be faintly transmitting a kind of order and rules, of course, Lin Hai did not reject the existence of rules.
As a tender newcomer, these things are actually far away from Lin Hai, so Lin Hai feels that he doesn't need to spend too much energy thinking and understanding these things, he only needs to honestly follow the black cat's plan to strengthen his soul now, so that he can pull Ye Xuexin out of the dead loop as soon as possible.
"Well, I'll talk about these things later, I still have a puzzle."
"Say it."
"Although my improvement is indeed very fast according to your arrangement, I still don't understand, in these experiences you arranged, what did I get to increase the strength of my soul and form my soul world?"
The black cat tilted its head, as if pondering how to express it, and hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Actually, you know best about yourself, but let me help you summarize for the time being, what you feel in these experiences should be the relationship between the soul and the outside world, that is, the influence of the living environment, emotional experiences, etc. on the soul. Can you imagine what happens if the same soul is placed under different circumstances and emotional experiences. Will it cause two or more completely different souls to come out? If so, are you still you? ”
Lin Hai suddenly:
"Ah, I see, it's through these experiences that my self-knowledge is strengthened, and when I think about it, even if I live someone else's life, I will still live the same self, and my soul is improved?"
"It is to ascend, not to be shaken by external influences, and to always be clear about your three answers no matter what the circumstances, then you have the qualifications to be independent and indestructible in the soul world, that is, a true awakened person."
