Chapter 5 : : Gamer's Body (Previous Chapter no. 8)

"Scums can be found everywhere," Rex muttered to himself.

Rex took a deep breath to calm himself down, he was not the type of person who would let anger cloud his judgement even if it was for such an act of revenge, it's the temperament he developed all his life… on earth.

Although his previous personality was contradicting with his 16-year life experience here in this world, he still managed to suppress his anger and calm down.

"System how are you still working?" Rex asked in surprise.

[Reporting to the player, the system used energy from Core-X to upgrade the game pod's overall performance but the hardware and software were lacking the incomplete system wasn't able to find the right place to store the energy, the Super Brain malfunctioned but still made a decision.

Following the decision the system took you body as the energy storage device and transferred the energy to your body, the energy forcibly made its way into your body and destroyed it but miraculously the special entity recognized as your soul wasn't destroyed, furthermore, the energy started to merge with your soul and strengthen your soul at the same time but during this process, your soul started to absorb the digital data of the system.

The AI in Super Brain then made the decision to rearrange the data in the soul and use as your brain in place of the damaged Super Brain, that's why the system got merged with your soul as a form of data but after combining with your soul for so long and traveling all the way here the system has undergone a mutation and now the system met the minimum requirement to start.

The system connects itself to your brain to work uses Heavenly Dao rules of this world to create miracles that are the conclusion I.. the AI reached after reading all the data from your memory,]

"Hmmm? you said Heavenly Dao rules... it's something I learned about in this life but I didn't know that one could even feel it much less connect to it, according to what the cultivator says here if I can control Heavenly Dao rules then I can do anything.

I should even be able to decide someone's life and death or controlling others' reincarnations, I will simply be….God, you sure about what you are saying because I don't feel anything unusual on top of that, I feel like I will likely die like this," Rex said after some thinking then looked at the wounds on his body.

[Negative, player you misunderstood my words, you don't have that much strength and system can't do it either, in fact, it's more like give and take instead, we can't break the heavenly rules too much, but we can do things that do not go too against it.

The system can just sense those laws a little and predict how much can it tolerance our existence,]

'Player? so the data of my tailor-made game RPG game simulator is still there,' Rex thought.

"Your words seem like the so-called heavenly laws are not fond of me and you… it should be you to be more precise, why are you involving a bystander like me who is not much far from death's door," Rex said in a calm and composed tone as he ripped off the clothes of the bodies lying near him then used them as bandages to cover his wounds.

[Player, you still don't understand, we are not two but one I work with the AI patter but am not, at the moment I am like your split consciousness housing your subconscious brain, you can simply take me as an auxiliary ability but I am still your auxiliary ability, you haven't realized it but right now you are not normal simply put you are a mutant with me as your power,]

Rex movements halted for a second before he continued bandaging his wounds.

"Then, tell me why is heavenly law not favorable to us, what do you mean by not breaking the rules too much?" Rex asked.

[First let me give you an example of heavenly rules, a mortal is born then grows in the end it dies - its the rule when someone is born they will die then comes cultivators, that cultivate to increase their lifespan and gain strength which they shouldn't normally have so heaven make them go through trials to check if they are worthy.

It will only allow them to grow strong easily, then comes those who should normally don't exist because they can cheat from the difficulties the heaven had put on everyone their very existence seems unfair to others,]

"There was nothing fair in these words in the first place, you continue," Rex said.

[You should have heard of such existence in those mythical stories.. when someone is born with a too strong physique, very precious and rare spirit roots or those that are able to awaken the bloodlines of mythical beasts…

They all have to face several strong thunder tribulations in their path even at birth while normal people don't have to worry about these but if those people could make it alive then they will all become legends, they will always remain almost invincible in their own cultivation stage.

It's the same, our existence is just like them that's why we are not that favored by heavenly laws, but I am not doing something too exaggerated or my power is not like that I will grow with you that's why heavenly laws are not rejecting us,]

"Hmmm… if it has already happened then there is no use thinking over it, I would really like to discuss the functions or the abilities you still have but my current situation isn't the ideal one, seeing how much blood I had already lost and these heavy injuries I have, it's better to think of a way to heal myself, do you have any way help me to do it," Rex asked.

[Affirmative but the system needs energy for work, so it's recommended that you put your hands on the target you have killed, to take their soul remains so that system can use them to temporarily heal you,]

"Temporarily?" Rex said in slight disappointment.

[We are one, but I can not fully affect your current body, that's why Player can't use most of the features of the system, and we don't have any healing skill either to use, if I could affect your whole body then permanently restoring your body from its damaged state isn't a problem.

But I know a way to change your body, a body that doesn't have so many limitations and fewer limiters… a Gamer's body, if we succeed then we can also solve the problem of your average talent, un-awakened physique, deteriorating bloodline… etc,]

"Sigh… I understand you don't need to say that much" Rex said thinking over the matter of his average talent.

From what he knew his talent was above average, but following Elder Ma Fe's order he stopped cultivating and remained at the Soul Strengthening stage for years letting his peers surpass him, because of starting late he had already lost the golden time for cultivations and now he is again left behind, with his current cultivation base and age if he tries to join a sect he will only be treated as cannon fodder and won't get many resources to cultivate.

Rex came near the dead bodies and placed both of his hands on one of them.. suddenly he felt unfamiliar but very pure energy entering in his body through his hands

[+10 SE Points]

[+6 SE Points]

[+11 SE Points]

He kept getting this notification…then after a while he felt that the energy he was receiving from the dead body was depleted, then he did the same with other bodies until there were no Soul Points left.

After the energy entered his body, it disappeared and Rex wasn't able to sense where did it go but he also discovered that his wound wasn't bleeding anymore, they were showing the signs of healing although the process was very slow but they were healing.

"Okay, now what do you need for a Gamer's body," Rex asked after making sure that his body's condition was much better than before.

[30 kg carbon pure form, 3-5 living organism's DNA, a beast core, 20 kg black steel, 10 sets of spirit grass, moonshine flower ….]

"Hehehe hahaha…you are fu#$# kidding me do you think beast core can be found in streets or black steel in the jungle and these herbs tch.." Rex suddenly laughed after reading the information.

But then he suddenly realized that this was not his temperament to laugh like that or cursing in the next moment, it was more like the temperament of Ye Tian.

'Hmmm… it's a problem, I am not the same as before, coupled with my 27 years of life experience in my last life, now I also have the 16-year experience from this life even if I know it I still had tow different type of personalities in these two lives…. it's not easy to maintain an equilibrium between the two all of a sudden,' Rex slightly frowned.

"System, I can replace the 20 kg black steel with the the swords here, I can burn the won and use the charcoal for obtaining carbon, it's not hard to find the herbs that can work as an alternative for the low-grade herbs you mentioned here in the jungle, but the problem is the monster core and the last DNA signature thing you mentioned also confuses me," Rex said after thinking for a while.

[Rex previously I was an AI of Super Brain capable of learning and growing with the information I get from my user, after merging with you and the mutation I am like your second consciousness… a living consciousness that a living creature possesses, but after the merging with you my growing route change.

Right now I am just like someone with a lot of knowledge but have not many ways to use it, my starting point has become zero again I will grow with you, so if you ask a question to me that needs thinking and scheming then my answer may not be much helpful than a 10-year-old child.

As for the monster core, it's important, you can commence your body's evolution into Gamer's body even without it and can fuse a monster core later but if you do that then the benefit will be reduced by many times, if you do it now then I may even be able to develop an organ that can prove to be very helpful in hiding it in your body.

And the DNA signature of 5 creatures is important, the best options are monster beasts in this jungle, you can take it as one of your mutant abilities, I can trace back their DNA to study their abilities and structure then during advancement I will use that information to alter your DNA resulting in you gaining their inborn traits, the traits you will gain will increase your battle power and will become the foundation of your body]

"Tell me something, you use my subconscious brain as the control room, right? so how do you even work from there and make it simple as its not the time to talk too much," Rex asked to clear his doubt.

[Normally, when human use their brain they use different parts of it for a different purpose but when one side is being used to do a work then some other side will be in a resting state, actually more like an auto-pilot state, from what I know this is because its what the subconscious brain tell it to do, a human may be able to use the whole brain but not at the same time.

If your body is like a mega robot and brain is the control room then your soul is something that installs a driver in your brain, but that driver cannot manage all the control in the control room at the same time so except the control he is managing the other things are put on auto-pilot.

But in your case, I am that auto-pilot that is fully capable of managing all the controls in the control room, when someone truly believes that they can do something their body can do it but no one can actually believe in something that much they subconsciously know they can't do it, but it's different with me I am the second driver that makes your brain believe that we can do it… even if it's making it believe that the body will soon be going through a natural mutation.

In fact, from what I know it's may not be possible for a normal human to do all these things even if they can control their subconscious state like that but you are now a mutant, so you can't see yourself from a normal human' perspective,]

"So basically you are capable of making the whole 100% brain… both active and subconscious work at the same time. Those monks live their lives in nature, meditate all day, sacrifice their physical desires, and keeps chanting mantra all the time to gain some control over their subconscious mind and gain true peace but you already extended your roots to whole 100% of it… Interesting," Rex touch his chin.

The system then also gave a brief introduction to what it can do.

"If it's like that and you can actually scan my body, yes make a report of my body and present it in a similar state to a status screen of the RPG system you have," Rex said.

[Player's current body can't provide an actual status it can only provide pseudo-status]

"Okay….Pseudo-Status," Rex nodded then said.
