Xu Cheng does not have much confidence in the strength of his willpower. After all, the feeling of pain can be reduced to a very low level in the virtual world. He has always turned on the 10% level of pain. This level
The pain can make him feel pain, but it won't make him unbearable.
Therefore, even if he was blown to pieces during the battle, the pain was actually nothing to him.
But in reality it was different. He had never experienced the pain of his soul being cut and tempered. However, compared to his own lack of confidence, others were very confident in him. He could
Those who are selected to participate in the soul strengthening project have already passed the test of the Republic in terms of willpower, and they belong to the type with a very strong will.
Xu Cheng is actually one of the best among them. Because he has attracted the attention of many fans because he trained himself in failure time and time again, and even passed the ultimate trial of the first level.
Subsequently, he not only cleared the ultimate trial at the first level, but also successfully cleared all the ultimate trials up to the fourth level.
The further back you go, the more difficult it is to clear the final trial. Even if it is different from a real person, it is just a projection of a real person's behavior pattern. It is also very difficult to defeat that kind of advanced artificial intelligence.
Faced with an artificial intelligence that could hardly make any mistakes and had the most powerful combat experience at the time, he spent countless years honing his time in the virtual world amid failures. Only then did he successfully pass the final trial and thus come to
Reached the fifth level.
There is no doubt about his willpower that he can persevere in this kind of repeated training. At this moment, he is already sitting on the machine that is like a massage chair.
The machine rotated slowly. Needles pierced his body one after another. According to the current theory in the Republic of Mountains and Rivers, the soul of the human body is located in every cell of the human body. Therefore, the best way to strengthen the soul is to
The fragments are injected into the limbs and bones of the body.
At this moment, I saw that in the transparent electromagnetic container, the soul dyed white was extracted from the channel. Then it rotated rapidly in a centrifuge-like device. During the collision with each other, it was quickly shattered. It looked like
It turned into a white mist-like thing, completely mixed together.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Cheng felt an extremely comfortable feeling coming from his limbs. That kind of addictive feeling was comparable to Western poison. This is the feeling when the soul is strengthened.
When using the legendary courage Gu, you will also have this comfortable feeling. It may even be more intense. In history, many people were so addicted to this feeling of soul strengthening that their souls strengthened their bodies.
If you can't bear it, you will just push yourself to death.
When the soul has been strengthened to a hundred times that of an ordinary human soul, it must immediately stop and start soul training. The bigger and bloated the soul is not the better. After the accumulation of quantity reaches a certain level, it must settle down and improve the quality.
, only then can we continue to strengthen.
One of the great advantages of the soul enhancement equipment at this time is that other people are responsible for the steps of soul enhancement. The value of the soul enhancement is directly presented in the form of data.
This means that it is impossible to burst oneself because of the joy of soul enhancement. Even if it is not enough, the person responsible for controlling the machine will stop the enhancement at the appropriate moment.
While Xu Cheng was immersed in the process of soul-strengthening comfort, he also felt fragmented memory fragments one after another. These fragments were messy, just like chaotic dreams. Sometimes he felt as if he had turned into a sheep,
Eating grass. Sometimes he felt like he had turned into a wild beast, eating something like dog food, or running on the grassland.
But none of the memory fragments lasted more than 1 second. They just flickered in his mind and disappeared immediately. Such fragments had almost no impact on his personality.
After a while, when his comfortable feeling reached a certain critical value and made him unable to stop, the strengthening of his soul stopped abruptly. This stop made him very disappointed, but he had just understood the soul strengthening process, so he still calmed down forcefully.
There is no violent struggle in my state of mind. Use deep breathing to relieve your inner anxiety.
"As expected of you! There was no violent reaction at all. I remember that many of the people who came to strengthen before reached this step, would beg me to continue. If I refused, they would scold me. You are more sensible than them.
Already."
Xu Cheng, who was on the enhanced equipment, was a little embarrassed: "No, didn't you say that if you continue to enhance it, it will explode on the spot? I'm also afraid of death."
"Even if it is because you are afraid of death, your willpower is already very strong. Under this kind of over-the-limit sensory stimulation, the threat of death can be ignored by most people.
Next we have to continue. The step of refining the soul is very painful compared to the previous one. Next, your soul will go through the process of being cut into pieces with a thousand knives. The original huge volume will be reduced little by little. Gradually compressed to finally form a special soul.
form.
At present, animal soul Gu such as wolf soul Gu is rarely used in China to shape the soul, because it will have a certain impact on a person's character. The killing move constructed by the special Gu we use will re-compress your soul into a human being.
The shape is consistent with the appearance of your own self. After a while, you should be able to see the changes in your soul when you look inside yourself."
Seemingly understanding that extending one's head is a sword, shrinking one's head is also a sword, and the pain of strengthening the soul cannot be avoided. Xu Cheng finally nodded to start.
And the next step of soul strengthening began. He saw something like a laser gun sticking out from his side. With his experience and knowledge, he could tell that every laser gun was condensed with a soul.
The killing move was not too powerful, but it was enough to penetrate the defense of his fragile body.
The soul path killing moves can basically hit the soul directly. The damage caused may not be very high, but the pain caused is often very huge.
His soul was hit by hundreds of attacks from all directions at the same time, causing him to instantly convulse with pain. Cold sweat flowed from his body like water. However, at this time, his body was firmly fixed on the seat, and he could not do anything at all.
The only way to break free is to endure the strengthening process.
This step is something that almost all soul practitioners must go through. Shanhe Republic has actually reduced the pain in the soul strengthening process as much as possible.
In the pain of his soul being cut and shattered, Xu Cheng's concept of time had gradually blurred. When the entire course of intensive treatment finally ended, his consciousness was a little blurry and he couldn't remember how much time had passed. He stood up from the chair in a daze.
, turned back to continue. When I looked at the chair, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"What's wrong? Are you scared to continue the treatment? I'm telling you, once you are selected, you can't withdraw. Although in theory you can refuse the subsequent strengthening process, it must be voluntary.
It can only be carried out after the next step. But if you give up halfway, too many resources will be wasted."
The science man from Dabaldingzishan Farm seemed to have seen people give up halfway before, so he was actually a little nervous at this time.
Xu Cheng waved his hand: "I didn't say I wanted to give up. It's just that the feeling just now was too uncomfortable. I need to slow down a little. By the way, how much social resources will my current all-round physical strengthening consume? I'll listen to you.
The cost of tone seems to be huge."
"The resources you have consumed so far are not particularly large. But if you calculate the entire process, the resources consumed will be relatively huge. If you want to hear it, I can help you calculate it a little bit."
As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and began to calculate: "The number of beasts that I need to consume for the whole process of strengthening is roughly half a million, which also includes thousands of the King of Hundred Beasts and the King of Thousand Beasts.
.and dozens of beast kings.
I'm not sure about the cost of strengthening other processes. But judging from the funds allocated, the steps here consume a relatively large amount of money. It accounts for about 30% of the overall strengthening cost.
If you calculate it this way, it will actually be easier to calculate how much social resources you consume?"
When Xu Cheng heard that in order to strengthen himself, he wanted to slaughter 500,000 livestock, he almost fainted. This consumes too many social resources. Training a heavenly knight may not be able to drain the strength of a former family.
.But it’s normal to think about it. The combat power of the Sky Knight has exceeded the previous peak of Rank 5. And it’s not even a little bit higher.
For a family without an immortal, such super powerful combat power is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. Even if they drain all their own resources, they may not be able to cultivate one. In other words, it is almost impossible to cultivate one.
At this moment, the calculation was still going on. The science and engineering man patted his shoulder and told him to relax: "Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. Although you did consume the souls of hundreds of thousands of livestock. But the meat on these livestock
It is not wasted. It will flow into the market normally. The materials on them will also become the materials used when refining Gu. So the cost is not as exaggerated as you think.
From the current point of view, the value of the output of an animal raised here can be roughly divided into three parts. The value of their meat entering the market, the value of their souls, and the value of the special materials produced by them.
The values of the three are basically the same, each accounting for about 1/3. If you don't have much idea of the value of Gu refining materials and souls, then let's just use the price of livestock meat to convert them.
Because the supply of raw meat on the market is too huge, the selling price is actually close to the cost price. Employees like us who raise livestock on our farms cannot make their money back if they simply rely on selling the meat and materials from these livestock.
Only with government subsidies can they be profitable.
Therefore, we can directly calculate the selling price of livestock meat by converting it into cost price.
At present, the average daily wage of domestic workers can buy about fifty kilograms of meat. However, it is wrong to simply calculate wages, because the value created by our so-called society is actually much more than our wages. These things you can
I should have learned in textbooks that the extra value we produced was originally deprived by the family or other ruling classes. As a result, our labor at that time could only barely survive, or even find it difficult to survive.
Nowadays, this part of the value has not all fallen into our hands. The country has taken away this part of the benefits and used it to maintain the operation of society, including supporting the elderly, building national defense, building infrastructure, etc., so seriously
To calculate it, the value that each of us creates every day in social production is almost equivalent to a little more than twice the salary we receive. Different industries are different, I just take a rough average to facilitate understanding.
.
Therefore, the social value created by each person's daily work is roughly equivalent to one hundred pounds of meat, and the total amount of refined meat and messy sewage that an animal can produce is usually only about three to four hundred pounds. Let's be more conservative.
It is estimated that he weighs 300 kilograms, which is an ordinary worker. The gross production value of three days of work is almost enough to buy a livestock on the farm. This is not much different from the statistics I have on the farm.
In our case, when a farmer conducts large-scale breeding, he can raise more than 100 livestock per year on average.
So we can roughly convert each person's annual gross production value into 120 livestock. In this way, we can calculate more clearly, how many years of the gross production value you consume is equivalent to one person's total production value? It is approximately equivalent to four thousand
The annual GDP of more than 100 people, and ours is
The funds account for a little more than 30% of the total strengthening funds. In other words, the resources consumed by your entire strengthening process are roughly equivalent to the annual gross production value of more than 12,000 people. This kind of consumption is actually very huge. Let me face it in front of you.
All this is done to make you cherish this opportunity."
Xu Cheng actually knew from the beginning that this opportunity was hard-won. But after some calculations, he realized how precious this opportunity was. The total output value of 12,000 people working for a year. It sounded like a big deal.
Such a huge country may seem like nothing, but if it were converted to one person, it would be the entire value produced by one person's 12,000 years of labor. This calculation is very scary.
However, after the conversion was completed, Xu Cheng thought rationally and found that although the resources he consumed were huge, they were much less than what he had estimated.
