Chapter 11

After setting the display mode to his preferred setting, Li Pu's basic life blueprint showed his general data:

User: Li Pu.

Species: Earth primate, carbon-based, terrestrial (juvenile).

Rank: Space Hunter Apprentice.

Age (displayed in Earth years): 13 years, 1 month, 2 days, 16 hours, 23 minutes, 7 seconds. Belongs to the juvenile category within the species.

Physical Constitution (including cell activity, physical wear resistance, immune system, tendon strength, skin strength, bone strength, internal organ performance, genetic stability, etc.): 3

Physical Ability (including flight speed, short and medium-distance running speed, jump height, endurance, flexibility, precision of movement, explosive power, etc.): 3.2

Perception (including vision, olfactory, taste, hearing, touch, intuition, foresight, nerve reflex speed, interspecies communication, and other related abilities): 6

Spiritual Ability (including virtual energy, telekinesis, magic, the Force, astral energy, and other supernatural abilities): 0

Intelligence (including memory, instant analytical ability, instant computational ability, virtual architecture thinking, etc.): 99

Comprehensive Life Strength Evaluation: 3 (the basic formula is the sum of physical constitution, physical ability, perception, and spiritual ability divided by 4)

The five basic categories—physical constitution, physical ability, perception, spiritual ability, and intelligence—display mostly simple data, but each can be expanded into more detailed and rigorous subcategories.

Among the five basic data points, the "intelligence" that Li Pu was least confident about was actually much higher than the others, leaving him speechless. However, when he mentioned this to Xiao Xian, she said it was completely reasonable and normal.

"Humans have evolved to the point where the brain is the most developed part," Chen Xian tapped her forehead with her finger. "So it's completely reasonable for the score here to be significantly higher than the other items. Even if you are very active, always climbing up and down, you're not a wild leopard, so your physical ability shouldn't exceed your intelligence."

"As for perception ranking second, because a teenager's five senses are basically no different from those of a mature adult, and in some cases, even better. Pu's eyes, nose, and ears are all quite good, and his reactions are fast. So, compared to his not yet fully developed physique, it's naturally much stronger."

After a period of time, Chen Xian, along with her daughter and adopted son Li Pu, left the coastal city that needed to be rebuilt and settled in a third-tier inland city. The boy and the girl also transferred to a new school.

But neither of this pair of childhood friends put much effort into their studies. Chen Xian could do quite well with just a little effort, while Li Pu—simply didn't have the energy or time!

Li Pu scavenged various exotic alien data from the God Warrior Armament for Xiao Xian, making her completely engrossed in the incomprehensible "alien literature." Meanwhile, he focused on the training methods provided by the God Warrior Armament.

In addition to the query function that displays life blueprint data, the standard God Warrior Armament has a plethora of diverse functions. "Modular" refers to a whole composed of multiple functions. Each module sub-item completes a specific sub-function, and all modules are combined in a certain way to form a complete basic body enhancement system.

Most of the functions within the modules are highly targeted, such as the "Skill Purchase System," which not only requires a large amount of money but also has certain requirements for physical constitution, physical ability, perception, spiritual ability, and even the personal achievements of the user. Li Pu currently doesn't have the qualifications to use it. However, the "Limit Enhancement Program," one of the basic functions of this "universal portable fitness device," caught Li Pu's interest.

As is well known, any athlete has periods of peak performance and low performance. There are peak periods and decline periods. The same person can achieve much better personal records when in peak condition compared to when in a general or low state.

How can one achieve their limits? How can one maintain their best state as much as possible? This is a fundamental question that all athletes—indeed, everyone—are seeking. The ability to adjust one's state to a certain extent, both physiologically and psychologically, is a fundamental skill that any outstanding athlete must master.

"After activating this product's 'Limit Enhancement Program,' any high-quality exercise you perform will be recorded by the life blueprint. The movement patterns of tendons and bones, the hormones secreted within the body, and even the bioelectricity generated by brain activity will all be recorded by the life blueprint. When performing similar exercises next time, this program will optimize the user based on this data. The physical damage caused by breaking the limit will also be recorded and repaired, greatly optimizing the user's training results."

When the built-in auxiliary AI of the God Warrior Armament, like a product salesman, formally notified Li Pu to try this basic function, the boy was somewhat skeptical.

But after officially activating this core-level basic body enhancement program, Li Pu truly experienced the power of highly advanced technology!

Li Pu has always liked climbing and jumping, much like a wild monkey. He excelled in sports. During the school sports meet in his first year of junior high, he could run 100 meters in 12.8 seconds at his best and had a standing long jump of 2.3 meters.

Without a stopwatch, he couldn't test his most confident 100-meter sprint. Li Pu could only try the long jump.

Chen Xian helped measure the ground with a tape measure, and Li Pu drew the lines with chalk. On his first attempt, Li Pu performed poorly, only jumping 2.21 meters. On his second attempt, he finally reached 2.3 meters.

Better than his personal record at the school sports meet, but as a first-year junior high student, Li Pu was still in the development stage, so some improvement wasn't surprising.

Li Pu opened his life blueprint and saw a sub-item that recorded all the subtle muscle and endocrine parameters during his previous full-effort jump. According to the system AI, as long as he activated the "Limit Enhancement Mode" based on this data, his body would be adjusted to the optimal state for subsequent long jumps, unless he intentionally held back.

—A state even better than his previous limit.

"Can it really work?" Li Pu felt a bit nervous, realizing that his current mental state, as the PE teacher would say, was a low-performance period.

No matter, let's just try it!

Crouch, breathe, tendon contraction, expansion, full burst!

In one smooth motion. When Li Pu landed, he saw the chalk-written numbers and was speechless for a moment.

The last chalk-written number "3M" was just a little behind his shoe heel.

Over 3 meters! From 2.3 meters, he leaped to over 3 meters in one go! This couldn't be described as just "doing well." Li Pu himself hadn't even considered jumping over 3 meters, so he hadn't written any numbers beyond 3 meters with chalk.

"Over 3 meters, that's amazing!" Chen Xian looked at Li Pu, her face full of surprise. "Was it the 'Limit Enhancement Program' that worked? What did you feel?"

"Uh, it's hard to explain. I was a bit nervous before crouching, but when I jumped, everything suddenly felt perfect."

Li Pu found it hard to describe the instant situation, rubbing his hands. "I'll try again!"

"Let me draw the distance markers. How far? Four meters should be enough, right?" Chen Xian excitedly picked up the chalk and extended the scale markers.

On the third attempt, the situation was the same—everything suddenly felt perfect. Li Pu broke his record again, reaching 3.2 meters. But on the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh attempts, Li Pu still jumped 3.2 meters.

After the eighth attempt, Li Pu's entire body ached, especially his thigh muscles, which felt like they were on fire, as if each tendon was trembling and about to collapse.

"My legs are so sore, why am I so tired?" The boy sat down on the ground.

The auxiliary AI's voice promptly sounded: "First-time use of the 'Limit Enhancement Program' has brought the user close to the 'Taut String.' Warning: Each time the 'Taut String' is exceeded, there will be at least a level 7 or higher additional pain value."

"Taut String? What's that?" Li Pu asked casually.

"Taut String—refers to the current peak limit that the basic body can reach. The limit is like a fully drawn bowstring; the tighter the string, the stronger the bow, but the string—representing the current limit of the basic body—cannot be exceeded. Exceeding the limit will cause at least partial muscle collapse, and in severe cases, even genetic damage."

Li Pu took a deep breath. "Isn't this 'Limit Enhancement Program' too dangerous? Genetic damage? That sounds terrible!"

"The potential upper limit of the peak limit is directly related to the user's 'Physical Constitution' value. The higher the constitution value, the greater the potential that can be activated during the limit enhancement, and the more durable it is. The upper limit of the 'Taut String' is also higher."

The system AI immediately answered: "The 'Limit Enhancement Program' is based on the user's life blueprint, adjusting and stimulating body cells, secretions, and nerves to achieve optimal biological enhancement. The medical module will also reconstruct, solidify, and expand the damaged areas, safely and effectively maintaining and enhancing the user's basic body."

Physical training, in essence, is a cycle of "destruction" and "repair." After tendons are damaged during high-intensity exercise, the healthy human body naturally repairs them, gradually improving the physique and physical ability through this process, known as "tempering through repeated trials."

Li Pu understood this principle. When the God Warrior Armament activated the "Limit Enhancement Program," it not only allowed him to fully unleash his potential when needed but also significantly increased the speed and effectiveness of "destruction" and "repair."

Safety was not a concern, as the unknown black technology of the medical module, far surpassing nanomachines, provided comprehensive protection. In the following period, no matter whether Li Pu trained to the point of tendon tears or bone damage, he would recover in minutes. The training effects were far beyond what could be achieved under normal circumstances.

On the life blueprint provided by the module, his basic body defects were optimized one by one, with significant improvements in physical constitution, physical ability, and perception. Only intelligence and spiritual ability remained unchanged.

According to the information revealed by the system AI, the "Star Hunter Covenant" is divided into four ranks: the fourth rank is the Star Hunter Apprentice; the third rank is the Star Hunter Practitioner; the second rank is the Star Hunter Master; and the first rank is the Hunter Team Saint.

According to the system AI, in the fourth rank of the apprentice stage, it is basically impossible to change intelligence solely through personal effort. Only when reaching the third or even second rank, where practitioners or masters can perform microscopic-level enhancements to important organs, can they begin to consider the brain structure.

As for the rare "spiritual ability," it can either be innate or acquired through difficult special methods. Li Pu, being just an apprentice, shouldn't even think about it.
