In the space of the six-sided rectangular prism, the changes in light and shadow seemed like a computer program had been activated. Countless data patterns, resembling ripples, began to flow and gently undulate. Amidst the flowing data, Jiang Junming vaguely saw something appear, flicker, and finally dissolve into the endless data stream.

It was as if he were standing under a vast starry sky, and Jiang Junming even felt that he might return to the school playground in the next moment. Vincent... Jiang Junming suddenly felt a bit nostalgic for the people in the pharmacy and the events of the past years.

"The system is severely damaged, kinetic energy is severely insufficient, and the automatic repair system cannot be activated." Just as Jiang Junming was caught between ecstasy and confusion, the mechanical voice of the optical brain changed in tone. The pride and self-respect seemed to have turned into disappointment and frustration, echoing in his ears.

Huh? Damage... kinetic energy insufficient... cannot be activated...

These words were like a bucket of icy water poured over Jiang Junming's head, instantly turning his previous ecstasy into nothingness.

The flow of data was not smooth, and the frequent pauses made Jiang Junming, who was inside the six-sided rectangular prism, feel very uncomfortable. It was like sitting in a car that was speeding while constantly braking and accelerating, making Jiang Junming feel a bit dizzy.

After a few moments, the data stream around Jiang Junming no longer shimmered with light but became much simpler.

"Kinetic energy is severely insufficient, only a small amount of basic analytical and deconstructive capabilities can be restored." The mechanical voice of the optical brain sounded again. Then, a beam of light fell from above, enveloping Jiang Junming. A few seconds later, the light disappeared, and a three-dimensional image appeared in front of Jiang Junming. In the middle of the image, a smaller version of himself stood, and a white beam of light turned into a flat plane, scanning down from the top.

"Begin analysis of the recipient's physiological and biological structure." The optical brain said.

As the mechanical voice of the optical brain appeared and the scanning light fell, Jiang Junming saw the "self" in the three-dimensional image decompose layer by layer, turning into data, integrating and calculating. The transformation of a person into data was a very strange feeling, and it was the first time Jiang Junming had experienced such a bizarre event. This is really the way of the future, everything becomes data, Jiang Junming thought as the optical brain analyzed and structured him.

The entire process of analyzing and structuring himself was completed very quickly, and all the light and data subsequently fell to the ground, landing on the screen where Jiang Junming was standing.

The surface of the rectangular prism where his feet were stepped on grew a sapling as the light entered. The branches and leaves of the sapling were very tender, with a fresh green color. The growth process of the sapling was condensed into a few seconds, and before Jiang Junming could figure out what was happening, the sapling had already sprouted two branches, each with a delicate leaf. The leaves, under the light of the rectangular prism space, emitted a soft glow.

Jiang Junming watched in amazement at what was happening in front of him, looking at the two leaves. When his gaze fell upon them, a brilliant light appeared around the leaves, and many very small white lights appeared on the screen on the ground, floating up and converging towards the positions of the two leaves. These white lights were like fireflies in summer, but even finer and more delicate, just simple light, "flying" to the leaves and making the green leaves glow even more intensely.

Then, a line of faintly glowing text appeared on each leaf... Jiang Junming was surprised to find that the characters appearing above the leaves were not the data stream in the six-sided rectangular prism space of the optical brain, but familiar Chinese characters. Seeing the Chinese characters again, a strong sense of nostalgia and familiarity filled Jiang Junming's heart.

Suppressing the warmth and joy in his heart, Jiang Junming looked carefully. One of the leaves had the Chinese characters written: "Basic Medicine Level 1 — Elementary Anatomy." The light on one of the leaves was stronger, attracting Jiang Junming's attention. The characters formed by the light made Jiang Junming feel a bit at a loss. Basic medicine, anatomy? Is this a class I'm taking at school? All the light points seemed to have a life of their own, forming a human shape in the air, and at the same time, a light-illusioned scalpel appeared in Jiang Junming's hand.

Scalpel... Jiang Junming felt a bit unfamiliar and a bit familiar. But what use is this? Jiang Junming smiled bitterly. In the outside world, if he said he was performing surgery and saving lives, he would definitely be considered an evil necromancer and burned alive.

"Analysis and deconstruction complete. Recipient's basic strength, weak. Basic agility, weak. Basic..." A series of mechanical voices without emotion stated the analysis of Jiang Junming's body, making him feel disheartened. It made sense; a child raised in an orphanage, eating the most difficult food to swallow, would have died in the plague long ago if not for this strange rectangular prism space. Not to mention how strong his body was, just being alive was good enough.

After analyzing Jiang Junming's body, the optical brain continued, "This is a set of skills I have created based on your knowledge and this world. It can change your body, helping you adapt to this world more quickly and live better."

Then, the Explorer 9527 optical brain began to explain the knowledge of anatomy to Jiang Junming and instructed him to follow its guidance.

Anatomy? I already know this, Jiang Junming thought. But he immediately negated his own thought. The optical brain came from a Level 10 civilization and would certainly provide more comprehensive knowledge. The Chinese characters on the leaves were already clear: Basic Medicine Level 1, Elementary Anatomy. Since it is elementary, it means there will be intermediate and advanced levels.

As for surgery? Jiang Junming smiled awkwardly. If he performed surgery in this world, he would definitely be considered a necromancer and hunted by the Church of Light and Justice, then burned alive. What use are these learned things?

Although he thought this, Jiang Junming still followed the optical brain's instructions.

Following what the optical brain said, Jiang Junming began to perform an autopsy on the human figure in front of him with the scalpel. Although the scalpel was a light illusion, it felt the same as the real scalpel he had used before, with a metal blade and a sharp edge, no different at all. The human figure in front of him was not what he saw with his eyes, nor did it resemble the cadavers in the anatomy lab that had been soaked in formaldehyde for a long time.

The scalpel fell on the human figure, and it felt like a real surgery, with slightly resilient skin, bleeding after cutting the skin, soft and tough muscles and tendons, all the tissue structures were vivid, just like performing surgery on a patient on the operating table.
