Chapter 720 of "Player Reload" starts unveiling mysteries: The iron chain generated by the Bat Hook Claw Gun slowly dissipated into the wind,... Keep reading!
The iron chain generated by the Bat Hook Claw Gun slowly dissipated into the wind, the surface of the Eight Diagram Alchemy Demon Cannon became red-hot from intense friction with the air, spinning and crashing to the ground, contacting a puddle and releasing vast steam."..."
The insect-transformed body extended an arm, with armor gloves equipped with spikes, through the ear-shaped handle of the dragon tripod, lifting the tripod furnace.
The steam cleared, revealing that half the head of the insect body had disappeared, and the remaining half of the faceâs skin had been completely burnt away.
"If it were any other ordinary human player,"
Li Cheng, literally at a loss, spoke indifferently: "You would have killed them now."
The moment the Eight Diagram Alchemy Demon Cannon flew over, the Phase Change Demon also launched a metal spear, its power so great that even with Li Cheng activating the âRooting in Stone Techniqueâ using the âSkill Mobile USB,â it still pierced the defense, destroying most of the skull and the brain tissue inside.
Muscles can be trained, bones can be strengthened, but the brain, the most intricate human organ, even for transcendent martial arts practitioners, has no good means for enhancement.
Because of this, Li Cheng chose another way.
"He backed up his brain..."
In a luxurious mansion on the top of Manila, Zhongtian Beiji suddenly stood up from the sofa, unaware that his elbow knocked over the wine glass.
"Backed up the brain?"
Beside the sofa, Zhongtian Beijiâs younger brother, Gouchen, subconsciously frowned as he closely observed the 163-inch, million-dollar giant screen TV.
The TVâs pixel dots were as fine as strands of hair, and one could vaguely see the red, white, and gray hues fluctuating in the cut segment of the Pifuâs head, indicating that the brain tissue was healing and regenerating.
Gouchen couldnât quite understand, perplexed: "Whatâs the difference from drinking a Medium Life Potion?"
"Itâs far from the same."
Zhongtian Beijiâs face turned serious, "Life Potions are produced by the killing field; carbon-based life, silicon-based life, atmospheric life, and others can use it. Essentially, the killing field exerts strength to restore the drinker to what it deems a âhealthy and intactâ state.
This âhealthy and intactâ standard gets lower and lower during high-intensity battles.
Drinking a dozen or twenty bottles of Life Potion consecutively greatly reduces efficacy later, causing situations of missing fingers or ribs.
Ignoring side effects and continuing to take it can even cause memory confusion and personality splits."
"This I know."
Gouchen nodded, his backpack always containing over ten bottles of Life Potion and over fifty bottles of various guild-produced function potions, emphasizing preparedness.
"And brain backup is entirely different,"
Zhongtian Beiji spoke rapidly, "Personality originates from memory, the essence of memory is the arrangement and combination of neurons and synapses, the dynamic remodeling of synaptic connections.
An ordinary human brain has nearly a hundred billion neurons, each neuron has thousands of synapses, totaling in the quadrillions.
When people learn and memorize new content, new neural pathways form between neurons, allowing synapses to connect. Through repeated memorization processes, these connections constantly strengthen, akin to creating paths in a forestâthe more people tread them, the more formed the paths become.
Because of this, Cloning Technology does not equate to Memory Infusion Technologyâcloning at best restores the basic framework of neurons but cannot restore specific neural pathways.
Itâs equivalent to constructing a rough house, but the specific decor of the house remains unfilled."
Upon hearing this, Gouchen immediately recalled a previous encounter in the chaos of Toy City, matched against the clown Joker.
The Relic chip used by that person essentially controlled the neurons in othersâ heads, severed previous neural pathways, and regenerated them according to his records, thus completing the possession.
Equivalent to dismantling all furniture in othersâ rough houses, then reassembling them and applying a new coat of paint.
The process inevitably involves significant distortion, blurring, and omissions, which is why the forum ridicules him for self-deception; nonetheless, Joker himself doesnât care.
"Pifu relies on his self-healing ability to restore his brain. Meaning..."
Gouchen hesitated: "He fully analyzed the arrangement and combination of neurons and synapses within his brain."
Zhongtian Beiji nodded, took a deep breath, "Do you know what this means? It means he can, like GS Biotechnology mass-producing clones, batch copy his brain. Storing these brains in various locations.
This is not the self-deception of Joker, or the complete alteration of the existence form as Whale Song Guild uploads consciousness,
but genuine âimmortality.â
In the past, those stirring talents on the killing field, believed to have future promise to reach the summit, ended up falling foolishly in script tasks, dying without a trace, the Level 25s and Level 30s, there were many.
Every moment of glory, donât take one as eternity. Living till the end makes one a true veteran artist.
Thinking of this, Zhongtian Beiji couldnât help but feel relieved.
Luckily, he admitted defeat early, giving up his grudge with Pifu, or it would have endedâSoul Doulou at most has thirty lives, youâre tougher than Soul Doulou.
San Francisco streets are a scene of chaos, with thick black smoke from collided and burning vehicles, akin to a war zone.
In the reflection of the ruined glass exterior wall, Li Cheng twisted his neck, with brain tissue and skull healing as before.
Stepâ
Footsteps approached, three silhouettes stepped out of the smoke simultaneously. Undoubtedly, they were the Phase Change Demon, their body pitch black, expressionless, but their appearance was that of three fashionable Asian teenage girls.
"Even the South Korean KPOP girl group has come."
Gouchen instinctively quipped, noticing a flipped truck at the end of the street, its side adorned with the groupâs support posterâthe Phase Change Demon likely adopted its appearance based on the poster. Human form facilitates combat.
