Chapter 32

Just now, the optical brain said it could perform partial optimization? How exactly is it going to optimize? Can I make a choice myself? Countless thoughts flooded Jiang Junming's mind, but he couldn't come up with an answer.

Then, in the projection opposite Jiang Junming, the images of skin, fat, fascia, and bones began to fade, leaving only the muscle tissue visible in the projection. In a daze, Jiang Junming seemed to be back in the anatomy class, looking at the specimen models the teacher brought.

What is this for? The optical brain has been acting very strangely today, and Jiang Junming had no idea what it was going to do to him.

"Energy supply can now support the consumption of first-level muscle tissue modification. I recommend muscle modification," the optical brain said.

"How to modify?" Jiang Junming was somewhat excited. The images of Superman and Iron Man appeared in his mind. Could he become invincible?

"Fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers can be fused," the optical brain said simply.

Jiang Junming understood the meaning. Fast-twitch muscle fibers are responsible for the body's explosive power, while slow-twitch muscle fibers are responsible for endurance. In general, the fast and slow muscle fibers in humans are almost equal. The slight difference in fast and slow muscle fibers determines whether a person has more explosive power or endurance.

So, what does it mean to fuse them? Jiang Junming felt a bit disappointed. He had thought he would become invulnerable and sweep all before him, but it turned out to be just the fusion of fast and slow muscle fibers.

"The recipient's strength and agility can be significantly improved," the optical brain seemed to know Jiang Junming's disappointment and explained coldly, "All muscle groups in the body will be fused to the first level, allowing both the explosive power of fast-twitch muscle fibers and the endurance of slow-twitch muscle fibers."

"Does the recipient agree to the fusion?" After a simple explanation, the optical brain stopped and asked. This question sounded polite, but Jiang Junming couldn't refuse. The optical brain didn't mention any other options, so what else could he do?

"Are there any other options?" Jiang Junming asked. Although he knew the final answer, he still hoped for a better choice.

"Energy supply is limited, and there are no other options for enhancing bodily functions," the mechanical voice of the optical brain mercilessly shattered Jiang Junming's fantasies, echoing in the six-sided rectangular space.

Well... that means I only have this one choice. Jiang Junming felt a bit helpless, but the optical brain's voice turned back to its cold, mechanical tone, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jiang Junming thought about it. Just the fusion of fast and slow muscle fibers didn't seem to meet his expectations. If he wasted the energy, he felt it would be a pity.

"Can I not choose to enhance now and wait until I absorb enough energy to do a better body enhancement?" Jiang Junming asked tentatively.

"I recommend the recipient undergo body enhancement to deal with unforeseen crises," the optical brain said. Then, as if it wanted to make its tone even harsher, it added, "I recommend the recipient immediately undergo body enhancement."

Jiang Junming recalled the dangers he encountered after the test today, sighed, and said helplessly, "Then let's start the fusion."

As soon as he spoke, many flickering light points appeared on the stereoscopic projection on the opposite wall, descending and entering the muscle tissues. The light points were like meteors but moved much slower, slowly appearing on the screen and slowly landing in each muscle of the stereoscopic projection. Some muscles received more light, while others received less.

"Modification in progress..." the optical brain said. A progress bar below the stereoscopic projection began to glow, advancing bit by bit, seemingly representing the progress of the muscle modification in Jiang Junming's body.

The muscle tissue didn't seem to change much, but Jiang Junming felt as if countless insects were crawling all over his body, though not very noticeably. The tingling sensation was within his tolerance.

The red and white muscles in the stereoscopic projection eventually turned to a uniform color, slightly lighter than before. The progress bar below advanced only a little, not even filling the bottom of the "measuring cup."

Even when the progress bar stopped advancing, it hadn't reached the first mark "1" on the "measuring cup." The progress bar behind, which Jiang Junming hadn't seen clearly, remained dim, silently telling him that the mysteries of the human body were as vast and deep as the ocean, waiting for him to explore and discover.

Not even reaching "1," Jiang Junming felt a bit regretful and a bit disappointed, but mostly excited. He wondered what changes would occur in his body after this modification and how powerful he would become when all the marks were filled.

"Fusion complete." When the progress bar's light stabilized, the optical brain's mechanical voice said.

Jiang Junming saw the projection on the opposite wall return to its original state, with layers of skin and fat reappearing as if nothing had happened. After the muscle modification, there was no visible change in his appearance. He didn't become a muscular man, and his muscles didn't bulge or shrink.

Jiang Junming raised his hand habitually, scratching his head. Nothing seemed to have happened. How was this enhancement done?

But as soon as Jiang Junming raised his hand, he immediately noticed a change.

A familiar habitual movement was altered. His arm "whooshed" up to the top of his head, his elbow hitting his forehead, causing him pain.

This is the enhancement of explosive power? Jiang Junming was surprised to realize he had underestimated the changes the optical brain mentioned. This enhancement of explosive power wasn't just in one muscle but in all the muscles in his body.

Every movement is the result of the coordinated action of countless muscles. A change in one muscle doesn't make much of a difference, but a change in hundreds of muscles, working together, is like a trickle of water forming a stream, transforming from a quantitative change to a qualitative one, resulting in changes Jiang Junming hadn't anticipated.

Jiang Junming stood steadily, excited, being careful not to make a fool of himself with his newly "enhanced" body.

After standing steady, Jiang Junming cautiously moved his body. Every movement, every action, showed an improvement in strength and agility beyond his expectations. After a few tests, Jiang Junming felt his limb strength had increased by about 20%, and his explosive power had also improved accordingly.

Like a happy child, Jiang Junming moved joyfully, completely immersed in the changes in his body, extremely excited.

The optical brain, however, didn't care how happy Jiang Junming was and continued, "The first part of the body modification is complete. Continue with the second part of the body modification."
