Chapter 164-2: Overclocked Divine Might, A Reasonable Plan (2) |
He suddenly thought of a special Inherited soul that forum players had thrown into the gutter: Brain Overclocking.
The special effect of this Inherited soul was to enhance logical thinking ability and memory.
Was that not a perfect match for his current need.
Feeling that this approach would work, Qin Ye called up the function panel and opened the star vein interface.
After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and dismantled the Control Inherited soul in star vein slot number three.
He purchased a third-generation Primordial Inherited soul, Brain Overclocking, then poured all the evolution points obtained from dismantling into it.
The Brain Overclocking Inherited soul instantly rose to level 31.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Ye activated Brain Overclocking mode with anticipation.
It was as if a current coursed through his body, his brain injected with a surging energy. The entire world snapped into clarity before his eyes.
In that instant, it was like a carnival feast playing out inside his skull.
The blood at his temples was like war drums being struck, pounding rhythmically.
Each throb brought about an indescribable sensation.
Everything in the outside world seemed to be captured by a super high-definition camera at this moment. Every detail was crystal clear. The grain on the page that normally required lowering his head to inspect became unusually distinct. His heartbeat was amplified in his ears. He could hear the clear sound of every tiny muscle movement.
His thoughts were like a high-speed train racing along vast tracks.
Those concepts on ‘psionic power’ that usually required racking his brains to understand were now like a neat row of dominoes. With a gentle push, they toppled one after another, the logical chain linking perfectly in an instant.
The math formulas in his memory were no longer dull symbols, but magical ciphers that unlocked the world’s mysteries. Language and text seemed to be given life. Various words and grammar raced wantonly through his mind. Even those bits of alien languages he had memorized back then and almost forgotten mostly returned.
The sluice gates of memory were thrown wide open. Bits and pieces of the past, no matter how trivial or minute, surged like a tide.
As a child grabbing a toy in the crib, the fine fuzz brushing his fingertips.
In university lectures, the professor’s abstruse theories, even the stroke order of each character on the blackboard etched clearly into his mind.
Even the attire of an alien lifeform he had brushed past yesterday in the Subterranean Trading Market presented itself clearly before his eyes, like high-definition footage called up and played at will.
Within this powerful torrent of thought, his emotions entered an extreme state of excitement.
His concentration was like an impregnable barrier that shut out all external interference, immersing his whole being in the wondrous journey of thought.
In Brain Overclocking mode, the body seemed to have become an accessory to thought.
His breathing involuntarily quickened at this moment. The energy particles in the air absorbed by the Qi Eater Inherited soul continuously poured into his mouth, supplying more energy nutrients to his rapidly operating brain.
“Ss-ha ss-ha.”
The suction felt like a bellows, fanning the furnace of his blazing brain.
His heart was like an engine running wildly, pounding violently, providing a constant stream of energy for the imminent feast of thought.
“What a powerful Inherited soul. It is such a pity that it was thrown into the gutter just because it cannot provide combat power.”
After a brief sigh, Qin Ye picked up Introductory Spirit Plant Studies Volume 1, turned to the first page, and began reading anew.
What entered his eyes was a lifelike Spirit Plant illustration. The vein patterns of the leaves looked as if formed by nature. His gaze shifted lightly to the text. Those lines about Spirit Plant traits, growth cycles, and cultivation methods seemed to carry a certain magic, drilling into his mind on their own.
Rather than memorizing, it was more like scanning with his eyes.
Where his gaze swept, everything he saw, content and detail, could be recorded.
To Qin Ye, it felt like he was taking screenshots at any moment.
What made Qin Ye find it even more unbelievable was that his comprehension during memorization had also been terrifyingly enhanced.
He found that he could understand the content in the books.
Before this, he had never come into contact with knowledge related to Spirit Plant Studies and was completely ignorant in this area.
But at this moment, through Brain Overclocking, he combined these tedious contents into a logical thread he could understand.
The growth environment of Spirit Plants, the concentration of spiritual energy, geographic climate, soil conditions, Spirit Plant attributes… his brain was like a library that could automatically organize knowledge, categorizing and storing what he recorded, linking the corresponding knowledge to each other.
This process was like assembling a jigsaw puzzle.
Whenever a piece of knowledge entered his mind, it would automatically fill in a section of that puzzle.
Knowledge kept connecting, making the knowledge system of Spirit Plants gradually become clear.
The highly efficient learning made Qin Ye fascinated and brought him an intense sense of joy.
He was completely immersed in the vast starry sea of Spirit Plant Studies. The books spread out before him were like a treasure labyrinth, every page a winding path to an unknown domain.
Those complex introductions were no longer obscure text. Every passage could assemble into a picture in his mind.
For example, a passage on page 39 of the book described the growth process of a Spirit Seed.
In his mind, a scene of the seed’s growth automatically appeared. The tender sprout, as fine as a needle tip, cautiously poked out of the soil, trembling lightly in the faint dawn, striving to stretch its slender body to touch the vast world beyond the earth.
This was not studying. It was brewing happiness.
His thirst for knowledge was being fully satisfied at this moment.
The sounds made by other players in the library were cut off by an invisible barrier. His concentration reached its peak.
Very soon the contents of the first volume were recorded. He decisively fetched the second volume and continued reading.
The third, the fourth… until he reached the sixth, Qin Ye halted his steps in study.
Feeling dizzy, he shut down Brain Overclocking mode.
A sense of indescribable drop-off surged over him at once.
Like a beach after the tide recedes, empty and silent.
Just moments ago he had been racing along the ultra-high-speed tracks of thought. Now all ideas in his mind suddenly slowed down.
The rapid throbbing at his temples calmed. A humming buzz sounded in his ears. This was a sign of overconsumption of mental power.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Ye began trying to recall the memorized content.
He was very worried about one issue: after Brain Overclocking mode was turned off, would the content he had just memorized disappear.
As it turned out, although recall had become sluggish, the content recorded at the time had not vanished.
It was just that the process of retrieval became extremely difficult, like a song that was stuttering during playback, requiring intermittent jumps to connect the melody.
After waiting half an hour and attempting to recall again, Qin Ye finally let out a long breath.
He could still remember all the content. It just required spending some time to piece the memories together.
Confirming its feasibility, Qin Ye beamed with delight and immediately took out a bottle of Mental Repair Potion from his inventory and drank it in one gulp.
The clear, tasteless liquid entered his mouth, and a thread of coolness spread from the oral cavity.
Like a mountain spring, it slowly flowed past his parched throat. The originally taut nerves felt gently stroked and gradually relaxed.
Fatigue and drowsiness melted away like snow in the sun. His brain, which had been dizzy and muddled from long periods of intense memorization, felt as if a breeze had swept through. The fog instantly dispersed, and his thoughts became clear.
Every neuron in his brain seemed to be reactivated, bursting with vigorous vitality.
His reaction speed, which had become sluggish, instantly recovered its sharpness.
Summoning the attribute panel and glancing at his mental power value, he took out another bottle, until the mental power value was filled.
Once recovered, he activated Brain Overclocking mode again and entered a storm of thought.
He now more or less understood why Brain Overclocking was a third-generation Primordial.
This was simply the god of god-skills, a super ability that could bring wisdom.
At the current stage, everyone had few star vein slots, and all the embedded Inherited souls were those that boosted combat power. But when there were more star vein slots in the future, Brain Overclocking would also be a must-pick option.
It seemed to be of no help to combat power. That was only because no player had raised the level of the Brain Overclocking Inherited soul.
The Brain Overclocking he was using now was level 31, and the enhancement it brought to his thinking could be called a qualitative change.
In theory, this trait could also provide incidental help in boosting combat power, allowing players to clearly understand what they should do in battle to maximize efficiency.
It could also quickly analyze the opponent’s weaknesses during combat.
As long as the level was raised, the amplification brought by Brain Overclocking would be extremely terrifying.
He even suspected that after Brain Overclocking was raised to level 100, it might be possible to analyze the opponent’s next move based on behavioral and subtle facial changes, achieving a combat mode that was nearly predictive of the future and seizing the initiative.
Secondly, in areas such as combat command and technological research and development, Brain Overclocking could also shine brilliantly.
After experiencing it, in his eyes, Brain Overclocking was already a T0 tier strength Inherited soul. Apart from its expensive price, there was nothing wrong with it.
But there was a reason for the high price.
“Eh, if only this Inherited soul could be brought back to reality.”
