Chapter 140 Eternal Paradise 3
"Eternal Paradise?"
[External environmental conditions have deteriorated again. The holographic game is locked, and the 'Mental Immortality' mode is activated.]
[Eternal life of the spirit, transcending the limitations of the physical body, overcoming disease and aging, and achieving eternal consciousness, is true immortality.]
[Immortal spiritual power allows for the better inheritance of planetary civilization, ensuring it is never lost.]
[Immortal spiritual power allows for the unlimited accumulation of new knowledge, driving breakthroughs in science, art, and philosophy.]
[Immortality of spirit reduces resource consumption and environmental pressure, alleviating conflicts.]
[With immortal spiritual power, we need not leave our homes; we can entrust everything to time to rebuild our beautiful homeland.]
[A mental cultivation method will be distributed. Testing will be conducted every two days. Those who fail to meet the standards will be removed.]
Lin Xia instantly sensed something in her surroundings had subtly changed, with the addition of some familiar energy.
The body that had previously felt unsteady now felt solid, the false feeling had faded by 90%, and it was as if this was truly her own body.
But when Lin Xia tried it, she found that both her strength and speed were far inferior to her own body; she was only slightly stronger than an average person.
There's a sense of relief, like 'finally here,' but the system says the external environment has worsened, and I don't know which situation it refers to.
I don't know if the robot didn't wake me up because it didn't pose a threat or because it couldn't wake me up.
She clicked on the email that had arrived, which was about mental cultivation techniques. She glanced through it and found that it was a method of turning external forces into one's own.
At this moment, it became noisy outside, and many people gathered together to discuss it. This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard.
Lin Xia didn't go out, but listened to the noise outside the door.
"What on earth is going on? Are you kidding me?"
"I don't think this is a joke. Have you guys seen that cultivation method? I can't understand it. I haven't studied classical Chinese at all."
"I need to go to the library first to check out acupoints and meridians or something. Wasn't there supposed to be an assessment every two days? Does this mean I'm being kicked out or...?"
"No way, even if we kill the consciousness here, it won't cause us much harm..."
"They say the disaster outside is escalating. I want to know what kind of disaster it is, and how my parents are doing..."
"You guys using gaming pods are lucky, but I'm using a helmet. If I don't go back soon, I'm doomed!"
"I think you don't need to worry. The higher-ups have definitely discovered this situation and will definitely take action."
"Don't be so optimistic. Even if they find out, so what? The number of game pods produced each year is only so many. Even if someone is in charge, there won't be enough to go around, let alone me!"
......
There were all sorts of rumors circulating outside, and everyone was in a state of panic. Some even attempted suicide, wanting to go outside, but seeing people splattering blood and disappearing before their eyes, no one knew whether they had actually gotten out or were truly dead...
Most people are afraid to gamble, especially those who use gaming pods. They're not that panicked yet, at least they won't die in the short term.
Lin Xia examined the mental energy training method, and found that it corresponded one by one with the meridians and acupoints in her memory. This was a cultivation method that transformed energy into mental energy, and it was an external circulation method.
The 'Sparkling Body Tempering Method' that I cultivate continuously generates energy from within my body, and the energy from the outside world also replenishes the energy that my body is depleting.
Only then can it be transformed into mental and physical energy, a kind of internal cycle, which largely ensures one's control over one's abilities and allows for skillful application.
If the energy is directly absorbed from the outside, Lin Xia speculates that the rate of improvement will be very fast, but what about the degree of control? After returning to the body, can the body withstand it?
Even if the system claims immortality of mental power, disregarding the body's capacity to withstand it, how can one quickly master such a vast amount of mental power...?
Lin Xia got up and tried the 'Starfire Body Tempering Technique', but still couldn't cultivate it.
She pondered for a long time, then directly practiced the 11th move, and surprisingly, she was able to practice it.
Moreover, the energy here is concentrated, making training twice as effective with half the effort. After only one experience, Lin Xia quickly stopped. The system here couldn't possibly miss the energy fluctuations, and it wouldn't be good to attract attention.
She quickly tested the mental energy training method generated by the system, and sure enough, the speed at which she could acquire energy was very fast.
However, the power cultivated through both methods is very superficial and requires training to truly master.
But with testing every two days and those failing to meet the standards being removed, this system clearly has ulterior motives...
Could this be another mental energy harvester? Lin Xia secretly wondered. This training method was much more suitable for harvesting than the 'Starfire Body Tempering Method' she had obtained.
At this time, some people outside also discovered that their consciousness was clearer and stronger. As soon as the news spread, everyone rushed to test it out. Those who couldn't find their meridians and acupoints all flocked to the library.
During this time, some people called on everyone to remain calm, but most of the people here were teenagers to their early twenties, who were already full of curiosity about mysterious forces. Once they found out, they couldn't stop.
Lin Xia didn't exercise specifically; she spent most of her time in the library. Now that she had time again, she decided to make the most of it.
When you get tired, familiarize yourself with the body composed of mental energy and adapt to its speed, strength, and so on.
Two days later, on the fourth day of Lin Xia's game, the time came, and everyone waited for the test to begin.
[Time's up! The test is starting. Please arrive at the test site within 10 minutes.]
Once outside, Lin Xia saw that the place that hadn't been there before had now become a vast and boundless forest.
This is a real primeval forest. Each person is given a random weapon. Survival for 5 hours will determine who passes the test. The test officially begins.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xia found herself in a different place, in a forest, with no idea where she was, holding a short knife in her hand.
She stood still, scanning her surroundings with her spiritual power, and immediately spotted a snake coiled on a tree behind her, its tongue flicking as it silently crawled toward her.
Judging from its appearance, it must be a venomous snake. Lin Xia focused his mental energy on it, his hand poised to strike.
The snake lashed out and lunged at Lin Xia's neck. Lin Xia, who had been waiting for this moment, promptly handed over his short knife, which landed perfectly in the snake's mouth. With a quick pull, he sliced the snake open from the back of its mouth.
With a flick of her right hand, the snake, which was barely alive, was thrown away. It was still wriggling. After noticing more snakes crawling over, Lin Xia glanced at them, turned around, and ran away. She had stirred up a snake pit.
Fortunately, it was on the outermost edge; if it had been thrown directly into the snake pit, it might have been killed instantly.
Fortunately, she had the power of her spirit to help her find her way; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to get rid of these venomous snakes. Lin Xia was slightly out of breath; she hadn't felt this kind of physical fatigue in a long time.
The simulation is quite realistic. The feeling of sore legs, fatigue, and shortness of breath is no different from when I was physically weak. I would probably feel the same pain if I were injured, and I could also die from poisoning if I were poisoned.
Lin Xia became increasingly cautious.
