Chapter 163: The New Human System

"99%...100%"

'Weak AI Sequence 5, Initialization Start!'

In an instant, a purple glow flickered in Liu Di's right eye! The five light points formed in Sequence 4 suddenly began to spin faster. They expanded and contracted within his pupil, resembling a purple flower whose five petals blossomed and regrew continuously.

The light flickered rhythmically, almost as if it had gained a life of its own.

At the same time, the assembly line within the Lab Cemetery automatically sprang to life. The roar of machines echoed through the space as robotic arms swung back and forth, and indicator lights blinked rapidly. Even the second-generation Woof-Woof Dog sprang into action, carrying components in its mouth to assist in the assembly process.

What was forming on the production line was something Liu Di had never seen before.

"Oh ho..."

"I'm back!" announced Mo Tong's voice, as a wave of signal ripples appeared in the lower right corner of Liu Di's vision. As the signal stabilized, a 3D-rendered image of a little boy appeared on the screen. He was dressed in a small, one-piece denim suit, with chubby cheeks and bright, black eyes that made him look incredibly cute.

"Mo Tong, is that you?" Liu Di asked curiously.

"I drew myself in three dimensions!" Mo Tong replied. "We AIs are shameless like that..."

"Then why didn't you show up before?"

"I was too shy..."

Liu Di shrugged and smiled. Despite being an AI with the intelligence level of an 8-year-old, Mo Tong always managed to bring an unexpected bit of joy into his life.

"Liu Di, now let's talk about evolution!"

With those words, the little boy on the screen transformed into another version of himself—this time dressed in a white lab coat, a mortarboard on his head, and a small pointer in his hand. Behind him, a faint image of a blackboard appeared.

"Ahem..." Mo Tong coughed dramatically, tapping the blackboard with his pointer. "Stepping into the realm of the New Human is only the beginning of evolution, the opening of a new domain."

"The so-called first stage, Combat Consciousness, is merely the unlocking of the first layer of the genetic lock."

"However, your body has already become like an uncut jade, just waiting to be refined."

"The so-called Combat Consciousness is the complete awakening of body cells and brain neurons."

"Both physical strength and mental speed will increase by a significant degree!"

"The reason you felt out of control before is that I had forcibly stimulated your cells, giving them temporary New Human activity."

"To be precise, that power wasn't truly yours."

Liu Di nodded slightly. "So, what I need to do now is to make my own cells permanently active, to fully master Combat Consciousness and turn it into my own ability."

"Bingo!" Mo Tong nodded, with a look of deep satisfaction. "But..."

Mo Tong's voice grew serious as a human model appeared in the display, its entire body glowing red.

"But your current physical body is still that of an ordinary human."

"It can't withstand the long-term activity of New Human cells."

"We need to change your body."

Mo Tong flicked his tiny pointer, and the red human figure shot off the screen.

"Change my body? How do we do that?" Liu Di was taken aback.

"Through metabolism!"

"The human body is constantly undergoing metabolism, with cells dying off and being replaced by new ones..."

"Blood takes about three months to completely regenerate!"

"Skin about one year!"

"Internal organs take about five years!"

"Bones take about seven years!"

"In other words, every seven years, the human body undergoes a complete metabolic cycle and essentially becomes a new person!"

"But this cycle will be entirely different for you now."

"Because after your cells die off, they will be replaced by New Human cells."

"In other words, once this cycle is complete, you will transform from an ordinary human into a fully-fledged New Human!"

"At that point, you will naturally master Combat Consciousness!"

As Mo Tong spoke, another human figure appeared on the screen—this one radiating a dazzling golden light.

"What we need to do now is accelerate your metabolism!"

"Three methods!"

"First, intake massive amounts of energy!"

"Second, expend massive amounts of energy!"

"Third, enhance cellular activity through external forces!"

"Liu Di, you need to eat a lot, and I need to build two devices!"

"But don't worry, I'm very considerate. I just ordered one of everything from all the takeout places within 20 kilometers!"

"Hehe, you're welcome!"

Knock, knock...

Just then, there was a knock at the door. "Is Mr. Liu Di here? Your takeout has arrived!"

Liu Di snapped out of his daze!

One hour later.

The table was piled high with takeout containers.

Liu Di was swallowing one bite after another!

He had already eaten more than ten orders of takeout, but still felt no sense of fullness!

'Ding... Digestion function enhanced...'

'Ding... Energy absorption efficiency increased...'

'Ding... Muscle metabolism rate boosted...'

'Ding... Water intake required to assist in overall metabolism rate increase...'

Gulp, gulp, gulp...

Liu Di downed an entire bottle of mineral water in one go.

Looking up, he saw the second-generation Woof-Woof Dog sitting in front of him, holding a black skintight suit in its mouth.

Mo Tong chimed in, "Ding-dong, masterpiece time: the Electromagnetic Pulse Suit!"

"The principle is to output microcurrents through the suit, simulating brainwave signals that stimulate 'passive contraction' in the muscles. The passive contraction of these muscles then 'counteracts' the active movement muscles."

"This technique was originally used in sports rehabilitation and aerospace."

"In the 1950s and 60s, European and Soviet aerospace engineers applied this principle to help prevent 'muscle atrophy' in astronauts due to zero-gravity conditions."

"But now, with my redesign, I've increased the current efficiency by 400 times. I call it the Little Hell Suit! Haha!"

Liu Di smiled wryly and put down his food.

He donned the skintight suit underneath his outerwear.

In the next moment, a faint current coursed across his skin!

His entire body felt numb!

It was as if every nerve in his body had been pricked!

Liu Di tried to move his arm, and his bones crackled as if they were under immense pressure!

The numbing sensation made it difficult for him to even lift his arm!

Liu Di was secretly shocked!

His strength was at least 1,500 kilograms!

But now, every movement felt like he was a frail old man!

What a...

Little Hell Suit!
