Chapter 6: The Bloody Rut
For the first time, Xi Gu felt that his whole body was full of motivation.
Change the world, turn the future around, and make this mediocre and boring world full of incredible possibilities.
- Isn't that the most pleasant thing?
Creating underground organizations hiding in the shadows, fabricating legends and lies, and watching the human world become more bizarre and interesting as other abilities emerge from the human world...... As soon as he thought of this, Xi Gu's heart was full of anticipation.
However, to do this, there is a problem that needs to be solved first.
- That is, how do you empower other people?
Although Xi Gu now relies on his ability to control his muscles and bones, he can easily change his appearance and pretend to be someone else.
But if only one of his abilities appears in the world, even if he tosses and turns, changes left to right, pretends to be other capable people, and performs drama after scene, it is too direct, too easy to be recognized, and too boring.
What Xi Gu wants to do is to enjoy the audience of this new era drama on the world stage, not the actors who sing a one-man show on stage.
Therefore, it is imperative to understand how to create other capable people.
Then, start with your own body.
Xi Gu had tested the values of his current body - not external data representations, but data markers in the laboratory that went down to the genetic level.
He once anonymously sent his body samples to hundreds of genetic testing companies, and also used his hands and feet in the university's physical examination to preemptively test various data of his body.
- Unexpectedly, everything is normal.
Yes, everything works fine.
Although if it weren't for Xi Gu's deliberate control, even a needle made of titanium alloy wouldn't have wanted to penetrate his veins, but after the blood entered the test tube, the data analyzed was the same as other ordinary people - whether it was the proportion of white blood cells, or the blood composition, all of them belonged to the range of normal people.
What's more, Xi Gu's current data, including weight, body fat percentage, bone composition, muscle density, etc., are still in the extremely normal category of medicine.
Find medicine, chemistry, biology, physics...... There is no basis why Xi Gu can use such a sixty-kilogram human body composed of basic elements and atoms to create the power to destroy the planet, but he can do it.
Moreover, Xi Gu's talent tree of "growing one percent every day" is too weird, simply ignoring the laws of physics and distorting the underlying operating rules of the universe into twisted flowers.
In the end, after thinking about it, Xi Gu came to a conclusion:
In fact, one's own ability has nothing to do with this material body, although it is expressed through data such as strength and speed in the material world, but in fact, its essence is idealistic!
- It is not an ability that can be explained within a materialistic framework, but a power that originates from Xi Gu's idealistic world!
After coming to such a conclusion, a conjecture gradually germinated in Xi Gu's heart.
Since one's own abilities are idealistic.
So, can we rely on our own "obsession", "expectation", "yearning", or other words that describe the direction of the mind to expand the boundaries of this ability...... Or even graft some of your own abilities onto other living beings?
Xigu decided to give it a try.
In the beginning, he simulated the outline of his abilities in his mind by studying the techniques of "meditation", "turning thoughts", and "summoning the gods" in ancient scriptures, and then tried to embody them.
- First define one's own "ability" in the brain, give it a vague appearance in the imagination, and then give it a chaotic definition, such as "qi", or "fog", or "spiritual power" and the like.
However, this attempt was quickly declared unsuccessful, and after more than a month of trying, Xi Gu still did not feel that his ability had a tendency to manifest, although Xi Gu subjectively believed that it was idealistic, it still only functioned in his own body.
Next, Xigu began to try other ways.
– no longer through meditation, but through concrete drives. Try not to rely on direct physical contact, and shake the form of matter through Xi Gu's imagination or thoughts, which is called "telekinesis".
So Xi Gu sat for hours every day like an enlightened monk, staring closely at the paper balls or plastic bags on the terrace, imagining them floating up, and using his "consciousness" to affect the state of matter.
Naturally, this attempt also failed, and Xi Gu's physical fitness continued to rise steadily at a rate of one percent per day, and he didn't feel any "mental power" emerging from him.
So, that is, although from the perspective of idealism, one's ability is strongly influenced by one's own subjective cognition, but in fact it is confined to one's own body, and it cannot directly affect the material world without relying on one's body?
Xi Gu thought thoughtfully.
It's a direction worth exploring. What's more, with this conjecture, Xi Gu came up with a new idea:
Since the two aspects of "body" and "cognition" together contribute to the incredible state of oneself now, both are indispensable......
INTERVIEWER So, what is the definition of "body"?
For example, is your own blood out of the body still considered a part of the body?
……
After his blood leaves the body, it is the same as ordinary people in terms of composition.
This is a fact that Xi Gu has understood in his previous medical examinations.
However, he also understands that his abilities are the product of unreality - so even if they are extremely ordinary in terms of composition, this is not contrary to the existence of "ability".
Therefore, Xi Gu made up his mind and began to study his own blood.
The first is the simplest, close contact between blood and other things, both living and non-living. After hundreds of drops of blood and observing the reactions of man-made materials, from mammals and reptiles to metal and non-metal objects, across the biological world – without exception, no reactions occurred.
Xi Gu was not discouraged, and he decided to use the same methods he had used to exercise control before.
Cutting through the muscles with the nails that were sharper than a diamond knife and taking three minutes to spawn, controlling it from healing in a ten-thousandth of a second, focusing all his attention on the blood vessels, feeling the flow of blood tightly, and at the same time putting all his heart and soul into the series of states in which the blood travels from the blood vessels to the outside world.
A drop of blood – which first flows through a vein – is then cut open and slowly flows out of the vessel, which is still inside the muscle – and then pushes it to slowly leave the body – until it enters the air.
This time, Xi Gu didn't know much about his specific direction of exercise, so he only set a vague instruction for himself:
"To exercise the 'connection' between the blood and your body."
Contact?
This was a very vague request, so Xi Gu had been exercising for more than thirty days without success. Until he was about to lose heart, just one morning, after skillfully cutting his veins, this time, a mysterious feeling of nonexistence was transmitted from the bright red blood, which made Xi Gu's eyes widen.
- and then he was ecstatic!
There is no doubt that the "connection" is established, and the conduits of the blood and the body are erected. All that remains to happen is to wait for the talent tree to increase the strength and precision of this connection day after day.
After the success of his research on blood, Xi Gu began to focus on other body projects.
- Blood at first, then saliva, tears, sweat...... Then there are the hair, muscles, nerve fibers, and even the exhaled air, the breath in the lungs, etc.
However, the "connection" between the body fluids and the body is very easy and successful, probably because of the experience of blood.
However, other aspects of the body could not be perceived by Xi Gu after leaving the body, so the attempt to "connect" in this area was undoubtedly a failure.
But Xi Gu didn't care, since the bodily fluids represented by blood can build a "connection" with his body, then he can take a peek at the leopard and try to combine them with other things to see what can be created.
