Chapter 358: 270 Human Body Modification and Starry Eyes (5K)_3
Mu Yuan recalls the first-time meeting with Isloa.
Back then, she was having a friendly match with Duo Lai, under full firepower a cluster of bizarre patterns crawled on her body. But now… the patterns on her body seem even more creepy than before.
“What happened to you? Weren’t all the potential physical risks eliminated before?”
“Hmm, the previous ones have been resolved, these were done recently.”
Isloa spoke with excitement, she couldn’t help but talk about her accomplishments, “I’ve had plenty of ideas before, for instance, if our energy recovery speed isn’t fast enough, then install more energy circuits in our body.
“If our energy reserve isn’t enough, simply create a few more reservoirs.
“And for attacks… the technique’s condensation needs to follow certain rules and steps, can we then inscribe these steps onto our bodies? Simply put, we should treat our bodies like equipment, and carry out forging and modifications.
“Not so long ago we acquired the set of tools from the Eye of Shiny, and we’ve also collected plenty of Epic data, I think the time is ripe. Hence, I started experimenting with the modifications on my own body.”
Isloa pointed at her back.
“I used to do surgeries on myself before, and it was really troublesome. Now the situation is so different. Not only do we have so much advanced equipment, I can use my Starlight Avatar to perform surgeries on myself, it’s swift and safe.
“Look, in just two and a half days, I’ve completed this masterpiece.”
She brushed up her hair, and only then could Mu Yuan see that on the back of her neck, there were two protrusions similar to external ports, they also seemed somewhat like bumps.
He reckoned there were probably much more ‘modification points’ that were hidden beneath her clothing.
Regarding Isloa’s ‘personal hobby’, he opened his mouth wanting to say something, but in the end could only say, “As long as you’re happy.”
However,
“Are you sure your modifications are timely and safe?”
Hearing Isloa describe her modification process already made his hair stand on end.
She was controlling two avatars, performing surgeries on various parts of her body, either slicing off skin, or injecting specialized medicinal fluids, using a small knife as a brush to inscribe patterns… she was obviously conscious throughout the process.
This girl is not just ruthless anymore.
Isloa can indeed get obsessed with her experiments, but, her pursuit of power can’t be so exaggerated, right? Isloa does not seem like a girl who would distort her own self for power.
Uh, under inescapable circumstances, she might do so, but she has choices now. She is not in urgent need of power.
“The modifications I’ve made aren’t really mature nor safe, that’s why I need to continually experiment and make improvements. Using my own body for the experiments enables me to get the most accurate feedback. For instance, the energy circuit at the left kidney is sending bouts of pain now. Clearly, there’s room for improvement in this circuit, it’s the same with other experimental parts too…”
As she spoke, she got even more excited.
“Normally, such an experiment and improvement require a lot of time and energy, and could potentially leave irreversible physical hazards, but…
“There’s Lord’s Evolutionary Miracle!”
Her voice heightened, filled with fervor, “Since the evolution process can eradicate physical hazards, I should modify my body as much as possible before the evolution to not waste this precious opportunity for evolution.
“In this way, I’ll be able to collect experimental data, perfect the modification system, enjoy the thrill of modification, and achieve a hazard-free enhancement. Isn’t that thrice the happiness?
“If the evolution process manages to compensate for the deficiencies in my modifications, it would be even more wonderful! Of course, I’m not asking for much in that respect, slowly perfecting my modification system is also an enjoyment.”
After listening to all of this, Lord Shepherd began to ponder.
It seemed that, maybe, probably, Isloa did make a reasonable point.
This makes perfect sense!
Leaving the potential risks that come from self-modification to be healed and eradicated during the evolution process, isn’t this like mowing down Evo-power?
This is an additional application of Evo-power.
He originally thought Isloa had gone mad, but now he could only admire, “It’s just like you.”
He admires her out-of-box thinking as well as her ruthlessness with herself.
At this point, Isloa finally raised her neck in pride like a normal girl would. The twisted runes on her neck shimmered in dim light.
“Of course, I’m just that awesome!”
“Follow this train of thought and the perfect modification is just around the corner. In the future of body modification, I, Isloa, will undoubtedly be carrying the torch.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha——”
It’s all good as long as you’re happy.
Lord Shepherd is feeling somewhat weary. He looked at his panel, sure he had many talents and plenty of warriors, but those that could be considered reliable… seemed like apart from General Dead Bone, there was no second.
…
At Isloa’s request, they did not choose the Warrior Arena for the Land of Evolution, instead, it happened inside the Intermediate Mage Tower.
Mr. Mu himself took action, clearing out Mage Tower A Section together with Isloa, and setting up an Evolutionary Platform there.
This platform is a bit different from the others, and looks more like an upright CT scanner.
The one to evolve will enter it.
After that,
Everything is set, the moment of evolution has arrived.
“Would you like to use 20886 points of the Human Race’s Evo-power, to evolve ‘Hero·Isloa’?”
“Yes!”
As expected, the consumption during Isloa’s evolution exceeds the standard value, the excess though isn’t much.
“Compared to the base number of an Epic Two-Star evolution, the extra consumption isn’t a lot, but more than eight hundred points of Evo-power also can’t be considered a small amount, that much could be used to evolve several Excellence soldiers.”
This proves that the present physical risks that Isloa is bearing are rather significant.
If she does not take measures to suppress and eradicate them, she might just drop dead one day.
With a flash of thought, the Evolutionary Miracle descended.
Standing on the platform, Isloa’s whole body shone with a white light. The white light rapidly became dazzlingly bright, forming a column of light shooting into the sky.
Under the envelopment of white light, her body was transforming rapidly.
All visible, and invisible hazards were being removed.
The blue inscriptions were fading away one by one.
Around Isloa, the monitoring instruments specifically placed according to her physical condition were recording her bodily changes bit by bit.
The tools and equipment might not be able to record all the changes, but for Isloa, they are all gains whether they record more or less.
For those they failed to record, improvements could be made next time specifically to address this issue.
The duration of Isloa’s evolution was significantly longer than Lian Yue’s.
It lasted a full 8 minutes 43.56 seconds before it finished.
“Ding!”
“Hint: Your Hero ‘Isloa’ has ranked up, stepping into Epic Two-Star Tier, and awakened the Epic Talent ‘Starry Eyes’.”
