20 The New Functions.

[Unlocking the new functions.]

[Energy storage unlocked.]

[Knowledge database partially unlocked.]

[Analysis function upgraded.]

[Insufficient energy to unlock other functions.]

(AI explain functions for me.)

[Energy storage is simple energy storage inside the chip. It can contain an infinite amount of energy. The technology is beyond user comprehension.]

[Knowledge database contains most important inventions, ideas, and achievements of humankind. The only first portion is unlocked. It contains the inventions from Stone age to the Middle Ages. Until society of this world is ready for higher level technology. The rest of the database will be locked. Another function is a recording of user's inventions. The recipes, art, languages that host learned will be all recorded in the database.]

[Analysis can analyze things of higher degree.]

(Interesting. We need to take everything from this place. Everything will be useful!)

All these things were transported at night to the mansion. There was a risk that someone could see them but it wasn't important. The Reis previous family would think that was revenge for deaths of his benefactor. It was obvious that they knew about captives from attack. The current Reis was harmless to them.

(I need to create paper. It's important if I want to raise the education level of these people. Glass is important too. There is glassware but it's not for ordinary people. Probably someone monopolized the way of making it. People are not aware of, how to create glass. Glass is crucial for chemistry.)

He entered the room that was arranged for his new servant.

"Let's start with some basics..." The explanation was enough for a man to worship him like a god.

"I, Marcus son of Elmar will follow you to the end of the world. If I break my promise, all my intelligence and wisdom shall disappear!" It was really important for scientist only their minds were important.

(We still need to check that all elements are the same in this world. This world could be different. That's why I need people that will research the particular area. So I can focus on other more important stuff.)

"Master, I have one request." Marcus wasn't sure that he has right to ask something from his master.

"What do you need?"

"Could you write down, things that you said earlier? It's too much for one session! I want to slowly research these things if you permit!" Neo shook his head. The man was right, even elementary chemistry was too much for one session. Especially for a person from the world with low science level.

"I will write it down for you and make one of the servants bring it to you later." The expression of the man became of a child that someone promised the candy.

(The another problem is my weird condition that caused my eyes to glow. It's the first time I encounter something like this. As I analyzed that night, I had a temporary boost in strength, speed and many more. I don't remember much from this night. The reason for this must be soul fusion.)

The effects were positive but he was out of control. It was most terrifying that he almost attacked the Aron.

(I will need to find a way to resolve this problem. It's time for finally take care of concoction of meridians expanding elixir. Too many things happened... It's perfect time to embark onto the martial road, I cannot screw anything up this time.)

This time his soul was stronger than before and he had high hopes. The process was almost ideal, he was close to finishing the concoction. Plop! The entire concoction failed.

(I did everything right! What's wrong?)

[The temperature was 0.4 C too high. The host added the Witch's root 0.3 second too late...]

(What? Wow! I see... all these mistakes. How did you find out mistakes AI?)

[Analyzed memories of successful refinement from a previous life and compared to your current process.]

(Is it possible to monitor my concoction real-time? I mean help me make process perfect!)

This time concoction was perfect. The AI helped to keep timings to the milliseconds. Neo would be an idiot if he failed with such assistance.

"The first portion of meridian expanding elixir is ready!" He was excited because after expanding meridians his potential will be boosted to another level. The wider meridians meant stronger foundation at the beginning. There was only one disadvantage of the wider meridians. The body of the practitioner could store more inner energy, so their cultivation was slower than normal. It was compensated by stronger bodies and bigger potential.

Gulp! He took one dose of medicine. The feeling of warm energy entering the meridians was extremely pleasurable.

The expanse of the meridians will take a few hours and in the final part of this process, the entire body will suffer pain. Meridians were responsible for many body functions and expanse of them will be shocking for the body. He sat cross-legged and enjoyed the easy parts.

ARGHH! After easy parts, the worst part came. This time he could easily endure this pain. The body cleansing was more painful. He couldn't understand, in his previous life, it was way more painful than body cleansing.

(I am probably not human. Why should I care? I will evolve entire kind in the future. So none will be considered human that time!)

The final pain ended his meridians expanded more than two times in width. The drug was actually more efficient than the version from Earth.

(Herbs are probably stronger and filled with world's energy. The ancient people called it Qi but it disappeared from Earth, so mystical beasts and most of the mystical herbs.)

It was almost night, so Neo decided to meditate and start writing elementary chemistry book. The Marcus will valuable researcher in the future, so he decided to put the effort into writing this book.

The contents couldn't cover, only basics and part of the facts should be discovered by Marcus himself.

(I call it to book but it's a pack of scrolls. The paper mill should be made soon. Paper is an important tool and it's cheaper than skin parchments.)

The elementary chemistry was ready, yet all the servants were already sleeping so Marcus will need to wait to another day. The book was extremely easy for Neo. Chemistry was one of his studies and it was a great help in the development of gene formula.

(Maybe I should go and give him this book, personally. I am sure he wouldn't be able to sleep from excitement. The word shouldn't be thrown on the wind. Anyway, I want to see his reaction.)

He took all the scrolls and left his room
