Gao Wu: I inherited the evil organization in the game

Chapter 664 Upgrade, Full-Scale Crazy Upgrade

[Insightful Perspective Lv3 upgraded!]
[Perspective Lv3 → Perspective Lv4 (1/50000)]
[Perspective Insight Lv4: Breaking through the illusion to reveal the microscopic, seeing the origin of all things.]
Your eyes have transcended the boundaries of matter, allowing your vision to penetrate any inanimate object up to 40 centimeters thick (such as walls or armor), and instantly analyze its internal structural weaknesses (such as metal fatigue points or stone cracks).

The observation of living organisms is no longer limited to static dissection, but has advanced to the visualization of dynamic energy networks.

You can observe the three-element flow of "Qi," "Blood," and "Spirit" within a living organism in real time:

The path of internal energy flow when muscles exert force (anticipating opponent's moves)
Weak points in the defense system where blood is concentrated (such as the intervals between heartbeats).

The energy ripples caused by mental fluctuations (perceiving emotions such as murderous intent and fear)
[Motion capture level 3 has been upgraded!]
[Dynamic Capture Lv3 → Dynamic Capture Lv4 (1/50000)]
[Dynamic Capture Lv4: Fleeting Martial Arts Demonstration, Peeking into the Abyss of Time.]
Your visual nerves have reached the limits of ordinary people, no longer limited to capturing "actions", but directly analyzing the laws of "movement" itself.

1. Based on all current physical information (muscle contraction, airflow disturbance), you can instantly deduce all possible action branches within the next 0.5 seconds in your mind and make predictions and responses.

2. In your eyes, any technique is merely a disintegratable mechanical structure:

Automatically marks incorrect force exertion, center of gravity flaws, and other movement errors. Combined with Insight lv4, there is a certain probability of deducing the opponent's martial arts (incomplete version).

3. When you witness others performing martial arts, your eyes will automatically break down and reconstruct the essence of the movements.

Low-grade martial arts can be mastered with a single glance, while high-grade martial arts can be imitated after three observations. With LV4 X-ray vision, one can even steal the methods of meridian and blood circulation.
This was undoubtedly an unexpected and exhilarating experience. These two abilities, which depend on vision, were also upgraded due to the improved perception, and were significantly stronger than at level 3.

In short, [X-ray Vision] is closer to a stripped-down version of the Byakugan, while [Dynamic Capture] essentially completes the basic functions of the Sharingan.

"Now, with the Byakugan, Sharingan, and Mangekyou Sharingan—though not yet in their complete forms—I'll have all three eyes! Hehe—"

Feng Mu's laughter immediately turned even more ferocious amidst his pain.

Then, another line of text that made his pupils shrink slowly appeared:
[The Agent's Blessing has been upgraded to level 1!]
[Proxy's Blessing lv1 → Proxy's Blessing lv2]
[Agent's Blessing LV2: Faith is the bridge, grace flows like a tide.]
[Capability Enhancement:]

Your will has been transformed into a clearer "seed of grace," which can not only empower you but also begin to weave an invisible network connecting you with all believers.

You begin your transformation from a "giver" to a "source of divine grace."
[New Feature:]

Graceful reconciliation (proactive)
You can now fine-tune the power you bestow. You can grant believers 1-3 "skills" at any time, and when granting abilities, you can actively choose their inheritance rate (with precise control within the range of 50%-99%).

Lowering the inheritance level reduces your mental burden, allowing you to maintain connections with more followers simultaneously; increasing the inheritance level allows you to cultivate more powerful "saints," but it consumes more of your mental energy.
[Echo of Faith (Passive)]
The insights, innovations, and breakthroughs that believers experience when using the abilities you have given them will be transmitted to your consciousness in real time, albeit subtly.
[Resonance Network (Passive)]
You can sense the presence and state of all believers. When multiple believers are within a certain range, they will experience a subtle resonance due to your grace.

You can choose to actively activate this network, allowing believers to vaguely sense each other's locations.
[Graceful Recycling (Active)]
You no longer need to wait for believers to die to reclaim the final experience.

You can voluntarily sever the bond of grace, forcibly reclaim the granted power, and immediately gain all the believer's training experience with this power up to the present.

(P.S.: However, this action will have a huge impact on the believer's mental or physical well-being, and may even lead to their death or mental impairment.)
[Cost Warning:]

Maintaining too many followers will continuously drain your mental energy, potentially leading to mild auditory hallucinations (the sound of believers praying) and distraction.

Forcibly taking back blessings may provoke despair, curses, and resentment from believers, and these negative emotions have a certain probability of backfiring on you.

If believers abuse their gifts to commit evil, the resulting karma may also be traced back in part to you, the source of that power.
[—I grant you your sharpness, and I also hold the reins; the path you take is an extension of my way.]
Clearly, the power of "Agent's Gift" is directly related to the strength of one's soul.

After this marrow cleansing, the essence of the soul is enhanced, and this blessing is also upgraded, with all aspects of the ability being significantly strengthened.

Now, he is catalyzing the growth of agents at an even faster pace, which means that those agents he thought would take years to develop before being put to use may soon be ready for deployment.

The only problem is that some of the descriptions in the competency description are still somewhat vague.

Descriptions such as "saints will occupy my mind" aroused Feng Mu's suspicion.

But now is not the time for careful testing, because the upgrade has not yet stopped, and the waves of pain within my soul continue to surge...

At this moment, Feng Mu was in extreme pain, but also shed tears of extreme joy.

Those are tears of extreme physical pain, and also tears of uncontrollable release when joy reaches its peak.

He found himself loving pain and craving pain more than he had ever done at that moment.

If he could, he would even be willing to immerse himself forever in this extreme pleasure of pain and the crazy increase in power.

pity……

This seems to be the limit of the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The excruciating pain that tore at his soul finally began to subside after reaching its peak. Although the subsidence was slow, it was indeed weakening little by little.

"Is this... all the way here?"
Feng Mu grinned, his smile, a mixture of bloodshot veins and madness, becoming increasingly morbid.

He refocused all his attention on the constantly fluctuating attribute panel, like the most greedy dragon watching its wildly growing wealth, hoping that the numbers would keep jumping for a little longer, just a little longer...

Strength and agility were the first to stop beating, and soon only constitution and spirit remained, and as they beat slower and slower, lines of prompts flashed by:

[The first-order constraint of the genetic lock has been forcibly lifted!]
[The substandard gene sequence was partially optimized and re-edited.]
[Physical fitness is about to undergo an explosive leap...]
[Physical fitness indicators have risen sharply!]
[Permanently increases Constitution by +3!]
[Permanently increases Constitution by +2!]
[Permanently increases Constitution by +2!]
[Permanently increases Constitution by +1!]
[Permanently increases Constitution by +1!]
[Permanently increases Constitution by +1!]
[......]
[Your physique has broken through the first-order gene lock barrier, unlocking a physique-related attribute. You can choose one of the following three attributes.]
[Longevity of Tortoise and Crane (Silver)]
[Your life essence is as long as that of a tortoise and crane. Each time your physical attributes break through a genetic barrier, your maximum health permanently increases by 15%, and your natural health regeneration speed increases by 20%.]
[Unbreakable Barrier (Silver)]
[For each piece of Constitution/Defense equipment you equip, you receive 2% less physical damage (multiplicative and cumulative). Additionally, for every 10 points of Constitution you have, you gain 1 point of all elemental resistance.]
[Unyielding (Silver)]
[Upon recovery from each near-death state (HP below 5%) in battle, permanently increase Constitution by 1 point and reset all control-related negative statuses (limited to once per battle).]

After this effect is triggered 10 times, an additional passive effect is gained—immediately restoring 20% ​​of maximum health when near death.
Feng Mu stared at the three entries. This time, his luck was pretty good; all three entries he unlocked were silver.

He didn't think for long before ruling out [Turtle and Crane Longevity (Silver)].

Its effectiveness depends on breaking through the genetic lock, resulting in an excessively long growth cycle, and the increase in power with each breakthrough is relatively fixed. In the long run, its growth potential is actually the lowest among the three. Then, he ruled out [Unyielding Spirit (Silver)], as its trigger condition was too demanding and dangerous—a near-death state?
As a villainous boss who aspires to reach the top, his motto is to nip danger in the bud. How could he pin his hopes of becoming stronger on repeatedly falling into desperate situations?
This is seriously inconsistent with his steady style, not to mention that it has to be accumulated to 10 times.

Most importantly, the passive ability to recover health when near death conflicts with [Berserk Blood], which is unacceptable to him.

Therefore, Feng Mu ultimately chose [Unbreakable Barrier (Silver)], even though he currently has no physical equipment, he believes he has a promising future.

And what naturally corresponds to physical constitution is:

[The first-order constraint of the genetic lock has been forcibly lifted!]
[The substandard gene sequence was partially optimized and re-edited.]
[The spirit is about to undergo an explosive leap...]
[Mental health indicators have risen sharply!]
[Permanently increases Spirit by +3!]
[Permanently increases Spirit by +3!]
[......]
[Your mental breakthrough has unlocked a first-order genetic lock, granting you access to a mental-related affix. You can choose one of the following three affixes.]
[Heart Lake Mirror (Bronze)]
[Your inner peace is less easily disturbed by external influences. The duration of mental control effects such as fear, confusion, and charm that affect you is reduced by 10%.]
[Faint Sensation (Bronze)]
[You can perceive subtle emotional fluctuations in your surroundings. This makes it easier for you to spot hidden enemies or lies; the intensity of your perception is directly proportional to your mental attributes.]
[Learning Makes Me Happy (Bronze)]
[You draw wisdom from books. Each time you read and understand a book, there is a 10% chance to permanently increase your Spirit by 0.1 points.]
Unfortunately, I had bad luck this time. All three of my mental attributes were bronze-level, which isn't particularly strong.

[Heart Lake Mirror (Bronze)] was immediately ruled out by Feng Mu, with a 10% reduction in duration. This reduction was negligible, making it almost useless.

[Weak Sensing (Bronze)] can detect lies. Although the effect is weak, it is proportional to the mental attribute and has some growth potential, making it a support ability with some potential.

[Learning Makes Me Happy (Bronze)]...Let's not even mention it; the entry itself is a winner.

Although it only has a 10% chance of providing a 0.1 mental boost, which is extremely stingy, this is probably why this item is only rated as bronze.

but……

Books are endless.

Moreover, as a villain, how could Feng Mu not love reading?

and so……

"I choose [learning makes me happy]!!" Feng Mu said resolutely in his heart.

As the two terms were selected, the heart-pounding leap in numerical values ​​gradually subsided, like molten steel cooling and solidifying, eventually transforming into solid and dazzling new values ​​on the attribute panel.

Strength 36.2 (14.5 + 21.8)

Agility 43.1 (11.3 + 31.8)

Physical fitness 38.9 (28.2 + 10.7)

Spirit 49.9999 (12.7 + 43.7) [In the midst of explosive growth]
[Pupil Power +4000!]
[Current pupil power value: 5044!]
A surge of power, like a warm tide, swept over my entire body, replacing the lingering pain. The lightness and strength of my soul were unprecedented.

Feng Mu slowly straightened up, feeling his body completely free from the first shackle. His eyes shone with a light deeper than the night, while a pure, childlike smile appeared on his lips.

Looking at the brand-new control panel, Feng Mu winked at his reflection in the mirror.

The improvement brought by the Marrow Cleansing Pill truly lived up to its name. It wasn't just a complete transformation; it was like becoming a completely different person.

Of course, the new equipment also plays a significant role in this.

"I feel like I could crush 100 of my past selves right now!"

Feng Mu didn't know if his intuition was accurate. After all, the hardest thing in the world is to fight with yourself, especially with yesterday's version of yourself.

But this sense of fulfillment from the exponential surge in strength is clearer and stronger than ever before.

"However, that's not enough. I can become even stronger!"

Once the thought arose, there was no further hesitation.

Feng Mu flipped his hand over, and a faint light flickered in his palm. The next moment, an exquisitely crafted transparent syringe appeared.

The syringe tube flowed with a deep blue, life-giving energy that seemed to contain a nebula vortex, and its energy level was far superior to the previously used Class D syringes.

It was the C-level gene injection that he had saved until the very end.

"I never expected that my mental attribute would surpass others and become the first attribute that I touched the C-level gene lock barrier."

A meaningful smile appeared on Feng Mu's face; this situation was indeed somewhat unexpected.
"Before taking the medication, I was stuck at the D-level lock. I never expected that after putting in all my effort to break through with the medication, I'd be stuck at the C-level lock again. Heh—"

Feng Mu chuckled, his laughter revealing little frustration but rather a strong sense of anticipation.

There's no need to hesitate or wait this time. Since we're going to upgrade, let's go all the way and break all the locks we can break at once.

Feng Mu skillfully tore open the sterile seal at the end of the injection, revealing a precision needle that gleamed coldly.

He located the vein on his wrist, held the needle in his right hand, and plunged it in hard.

It can't be too light, otherwise it won't even pierce the skin.

Without hesitation, he pressed his thumb against the booster.

Om-!
The dark blue liquid, carrying both icy coldness and violent energy, instantly surged into his blood vessels, rushed to his limbs and bones, and attacked the depths of his soul.

This time, the pain was much weaker.

After all, practice makes perfect. The first time is always the most painful, but afterwards it's mostly addictive pleasure...
