This Game Is Too Realistic - Chapter 279.2

Whether it was the gaming footage or not was not important anymore.

The intense and exciting battlefield, coupled with the thrilling BGM even made the actual players who had just gone offline want to hop on again, much less those who didn’t have accounts.

Battlefield Cheerleader: Awesome! I’m in the video again! Hahaha!

Irene: Looks like you’re not acting as a dead body this time! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Spring Water Commander: Fortunately, I put on my equipment! (Big Smile)

Yaya: By the way, why is Xiao Qi the one who posted the video today? Wasn’t it Light before?

Tail: I’ll help you call her! (≥ω･*)ﾉ@Xiaoqi

Normally, Xiao Qi, who had been introduced as a developer of the game by Chu Guang wouldn’t interact with those on the forum. Even Tail didn’t think that she would be able to get a response.

Surprisingly enough, something unexpected happened.

Yaya: ???

Tail: ?

Night Ten: What the fuck?! Isn’t Light single? (Surprised)

Ample Time: Be careful of the scumbag. This guy has never posted an official announcement on his social media. Remember to check his phone to see if he restricted you from viewing his profile... (Smirk)

Xiao Qi: Hehe, don’t get the wrong idea. We are not in that kind of relationship.ヾﾞ(@≥◡≤@)ﾉ

Teng Teng: Then what is your relationship? Do you know each other in real life? Have you met his parents? (Curious)

Xiao Qi: He’s my master. o(*////▽////*)o

The post went quiet for a while. Although it only lasted for a short second.

Teng Teng: I think we should contact the police first.

Xiao Qi: QAQ?

...

Players could take off their helmets and then feel energetic again, but Chu Guang didn’t have a helmet. He hadn’t slept for more than 20 hours, so as soon as he got back to the shelter, he fell into deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was already night.

"... I messed up my rest schedule again." Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Chu Guang, who slowly sat up from the bed, muttered to himself before glancing at the pool of liquid.

Accelerated metabolism would cause a lot of sweating, and this time the amount was obviously more than the previous few times. He lost so much water in his body that he was feeling dehydrated.

He felt strength surging in his body at the moment and his mind and vision were unprecedentedly clear. He even vaguely saw half a fingerprint on the doorknob.

There was no surprises there. He had leveled up again.

"The previous development progress was 19%... So it should be 20% now?"

Second awakening!

Chu Guang was overjoyed.

Although he wished he could go for a physical examination immediately, the sense of incompatibility brought about by the sudden increase in physical function prevented him from getting up from the bed immediately.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he moved his fingers and limbs lightly, adapting to the changes that happened.

He didn’t want to brag, but he was confident that he would be able to dodge incoming bullets just with his intuition, reflexes, and strength!

Of course, knowing that he could do it was more than enough. There was no need to try it out...

Standing in the elevator, Chu Guang planned to take a shower first before heading to Hyrja’s lab for a checkup. However, he seemed to recall something at the very last second.

"Speaking of which... The mission to unlock level B4 seems to be completed?" Mumbling to himself, Chu Guang lost his composure.

The last time he unlocked level B3, he recovered 2 black boxes from the warehouse. He instantly solved the problem of the players inability to save their progress and their individual status panel.

Now that he got rid of the Tide and unlocked level B4, it shouldn’t be impossible for him to find a black box that produces exoframes, right?!

There had to be something else that was good besides nurturing cabins and ordinary black boxes.

However, the moment Chu Guang reached out to tap the button, he noticed a light blue floating window in front of him.

[Remaining time to unlock: 6 days, 12 hours, 13 minutes, and 6 seconds]

Chu Guang almost snapped after seeing the countdown.

You gotta be kidding me!

Wasn’t the Tide already defeated? I also completed the mission!

Why do I have to wait until the concentration of spores outside returns to normal before opening the door?

However, it was useless to be impatient. Chu Guang took a deep breath, and pressed his index finger on the button on level B3.

Well, it seemed like he had time to find out the changes to his body before doing anything else.

...

Medical laboratory.

Hyrja, who came out of the analysis room, handed the tablet to Chu Guang who was sitting on the scanning bed.

"... It’s unbelievable. The changes in your body are becoming more and more surprising. Are you sure you didn’t use any drugs or anything else?"

Chu Guang simply glanced at the tablet before switching it over to the attributes panel what had more concise information. While reading, he muttered, "No, I didn’t. By the way, is this the second awakening?"

Hyrja raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Second awakening? Is this a technical term? Has anyone done similar research before?"

Chu Guang said casually, "No, it’s just a conventional name for this phenomenon... I also heard it from others."

As for whether anyone has studied it before… Only those people would know. How would he?

There were no forums for academic exchanges in the wasteland, and the gap between knowledge and cognition was wider than the gap between rich and poor. Even in modern society, not everyone could clearly distinguish the difference between selective gene expression and DNA mutation, let alone wastelanders who could barely read and write.

Actually, the Academy should have some information on this phenomenon, right?

But the Wandering Swamp is too far from here.

Chu Guang couldn’t help thinking to himself.

[ID: Chu Guang]

[Genetic sequence: Administrator (Second Stage) → Administrator (Third Stage)]

[Level: LV19→LV20]

[Attributes]

[Strength: 18→23]

[Agility: 13→18]

[Constitution: 16→21]

[Perception:

[Intelligence: 15→20]

[Talent]

[Wild Instinct: Wild Instinct can be awakened in an extreme state. All attributes will be increased by 10 to 15% within the duration, and the accumulation speed of fatigue value will be increased by 20 to 30%.]

[Mind Deterrence: You will be able to produce a psychic pressure effect on the weaker intelligent being, weakening their will to resist.]

[Hive Mind: Share 3 to 15% of intelligence attributes with the weaker intelligent being, enabling them to gain inspiration and thinking speed bonuses. The effect is affected by various factors such as distance, number of people, acceptance level, and more. The maximum distance is 10m.]

Reading the properties panel, Chu Guang’s face was full of shock.

My goodness. All attributes increased by five points! No wonder I woke up today feeling like I have become a superhuman.

But what the heck is the last skill? Does it mean that I can make someone smarter?

His intelligence attribute was currently 20. According to the maximum value of 15%, although there was only an increase of 3 points, compared to ordinary people with only 5 points of basic intelligence, that would mean that they would gain a boost of 60% in nerve cell activity?

If he used it on a group, there was also a 0.6 points increase at the very least!

His talent was a little overpowered if he had to admit, but… He didn’t actually know how it worked.

Looking at Chu Guang who was lost in thought, Hyrja suddenly spoke after thinking for a while. "The research on the Hive still needs a little time, but about evolved creatures… I found something unusual."

The Evolved Type was what the players called node creatures.

Although few people know what role they played in the Tide, most people could see that they were clearly different from common mutants such as Crunchers, Creepers, and even Tyrants.

Whether it was fighting style or dominance over lower individuals, they were like the oddballs among Mutant Slime Molds.

Chu Guang looked up at Hyrja and asked curiously, "What have you found?"

"Based on the comparison of samples recovered from Rotten Knight, Queen, broken-down Tanks and those artillery trucks, I found some special DNA fragments from some cells in their bodies..."

Hyrja walked to Chu Guang’s side, stretched out her index finger and swiped lightly on the tablet. The screen quickly switched from the properties panel to another research report. "Does it look familiar?"

Chu Guang noticed the picture in the report, which was two stretched long strands of DNA. There was another picture next to it, there were some structures similar to those of nerve synapses.

As for those numbers and symbols… He could be sure that it was the first time he had seen anything like it.

"Just tell me the conclusion."

Hyrja didn’t seem surprised that Chu Guang would say that. "It’s too hasty to draw conclusions now, but all the clues are reflecting the same thing."

"Those evolved bodies are most likely transformed from humans!"
