Chapter 3: I'm Awesome, (__)!_3
The number of particles generated through fission was also increasing by 2,400 per second!
The in-game counter even started displaying the particle count using 'e' for readability. (For example: 102000 can be written as 1.02e5, which means there are still five digits after the decimal point. If it's two million nine hundred eighty thousand, it could be written as 2.98e6, and thirty-seven million five hundred thousand would be 3.75e7, and so on. This facilitates an intuitive display of large numbers.)
Within just a few minutes, Ke Jin had accumulated enough material to unlock the fifth-tier element.
Unlocking cost: 1.00e5 particles, 1000 atoms, 1 lightning
Under the curious gaze of the audience,
the fifth-level element finally revealed itself.
[DNA]
Production: 3 atoms/s
Description: Genetic instructions that guide the development and functioning of living organisms
...
"Damn, one DNA produces 3 atoms per second? This is the real big brother!" Some viewer couldn't help but comment.
The attributes of atoms, which had just made an entrance and hadn't yet found their footing, were instantly blown away by DNA.
After this tier's chain reaction, each DNA that descended to the particle level had achieved a production speed of 12 particles/s.
Moreover, unlike the previous incremental growth, this time it was growing geometrically.
In the first second, DNA is 1, atoms 3, nuclei 6, particle production speed 12.
In the second second, DNA is 1, atoms 6, nuclei 18, particle production speed 36.
In the third second, DNA is 1, atoms 9, nuclei 36, and the particle production speed has already reached 108.
And this data would exceed a production speed of 2000 particles/s by the tenth second.
Not to mention, this was only the transformative effect brought on by a single DNA.
After synthesizing a few more DNAs, within just one minute, the particle production speed had already reached 3.08e5/s (in human language, that's 350,000 per second).
The viewers were universally stunned.
"No way, we've been playing for less than ten minutes, right? This exponential growth is a bit exaggerated... Who still remembers the initial 1 particle/s production rate?"
"Even though I have no use for these extra particles, somehow, it's just satisfying to see... It feels like the strength keeps increasing!"
"Tiny bug."
In the following ten minutes, Ke Jin simply repeated the process.
After continuously synthesizing DNA and accumulating 10,000 DNAs, he reached the conditions to unlock the sixth-tier element.
[Mycoplasma]
Production: 4 DNA/s
Description: The smallest and simplest type of prokaryote, without a cell wall
...
As soon as this element appeared, the live broadcast room, with fewer than 50 viewers, unexpectedly burst into a wave of comments.
"I'm floored! Support!"
"The real big brother has arrived!"
"We had just a few DNAs a moment ago, and the particle production rate was already at 350,000 per second. Now that this big brother has shown up, isn't it going to explode through the surface?"
"From now on, I declare Mycoplasma to be my dear big brother!"
"Hiss! The particle production speed has already soared to 1.09e7! That's millions per second! And it's still growing! It's still climbing!"
"Even the DNA, previously unattainable and requiring several minutes to synthesize one, now has a per-second production rate reaching 16/s."
"Its growth is so rapid; I'm so thrilled!"
"Can a game purely stacked with numbers, even with texture packs that aren't human-like, still be this thrilling?"
"Ahhhh, won't the next tier's element be even stronger? I can hardly wait!"
The barrage of dense comments even took the moderator at Thunderbolt's gaming section by surprise.
He had distinctly seen a live room at the bottom of the popularity rankings momentarily flare with highlights.
As the live streaming industry matured, the management back end also developed simple and convenient data monitoring.
Whenever a live room suddenly exploded with a large gift or a flood of comments, the moderators would receive a notification.
Depending on the different levels of traffic, the moderators would receive different levels of notifications, so they could handle emergencies quickly.
That alert just now was the density of comments reaching D-level notice.
Which means, within one minute, the number of comments reached 50.
For even a mid-tier streamer, this isn't difficult to achieve.
But for a bottom-ranking live room to suddenly burst with 50 comments suggests the streamer likely pulled off something impressive.
The moderator was about to check out the live room to see for himself.
Perhaps it was a newcomer with potential?
However, after a casual glance at the live room's backend data, he lost interest.
The real-time viewership was only 49 people.
As is well known in the live broadcasting industry, the majority of viewers prefer to watch in silence, rarely commenting.
In a room with 49 viewers, ordinarily, there might not even be one comment per minute, yet there were 50?
"I bet it's another bot inflating viewer numbers. Why are there more and more of these newcomers lately... Can't they just stream properly?" the moderator muttered to himself and chose to ignore it.

(That's the only update for today, but the word count is guaranteed to be sufficient, equivalent to two chapters of others. I need to stockpile more for the future launch, so bear with me, everyone. I promise that once it starts, you will be fully sated with fun and intense enjoyment!)
