Small light spots fell most densely on the face and some also fell on the body. As the small light spots landed on the body and face, a gentle light began to spread and connect. Soon the light formed a continuous sheet and finally "seeped" into the holographic projection.
When the light seeped into the holographic projection, Jiang Junming felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if countless ants were crawling on him. But it lasted only a moment, and then the sensation quickly subsided.
The scene before his eyes seemed familiar, yet somewhat strange. The change was abrupt, and Jiang Junming stood there, staring at the opposite wall, finally understanding what the light brain meant by an enhanced ability to perceive the outside world.
The opposite wall was like a liquid crystal display. Previously, Jiang Junming saw the whole, but as the light brain enhanced his external perception, he could now see every tiny light spot on the LCD screen. When he focused, Jiang Junming felt a bit dizzy, as if he hadn't yet gotten used to viewing the world from such a detailed perspective.
He could also hear faint sounds in his ears, like the sound of electricity, which he assumed were the barely audible "noises" produced by the light brain as it operated with energy. He had never heard these sounds before the enhancement.
"Level one perception enhancement complete." The light brain's voice echoed in the six-sided rectangular space. Although Jiang Junming could hear the faint "noise," the light brain's voice didn't become like a thunderclap in his ear. It just sounded more real, or perhaps a bit more delicate.
His eyes gradually adapted to the change. When observing the outside world in more detail, Jiang Junming slowly got used to the change in his vision. When he wanted to see a specific point on the opposite wall clearly, he could see the tiny light spots that made up the LCD screen. If he didn't want to, he still saw the overall appearance, but it was more vivid.
"How do you feel?" The light brain rarely asked about Jiang Junming's feelings. The voice seemed to carry a hint of mischief, as if the light brain was excitedly asking if he was satisfied after the recent enhancement.
"I feel good, but I'm still not quite used to it. By the way, besides vision and hearing, are there any other changes?" Jiang Junming asked.
"Smell, taste, and touch have all been enhanced. You need to get used to them quickly, or it won't be pleasant." The light brain's voice was no longer cold and mechanical, but rather cheerful, as if a close friend was discussing something with Jiang Junming, unable to hide its pride.
Indeed, it wasn't pleasant. Jiang Junming remembered the moment after the enhancement, when he saw the tiny light spots on the opposite wall. If the world always looked like this, he would be no different from an insect. He could hear such faint sounds, but he didn't know if he could hear other sounds.
Humans can hear sounds in the frequency range of 60 to 56,000 hertz. Jiang Junming was sure that the range of frequencies he could hear had changed, but he couldn't specify how much.
As for his sense of smell, Jiang Junming suddenly shivered. He needed to get used to it quickly. Otherwise, in the Church Academy, he wouldn't be able to tolerate a classmate with body odor, let alone the pungent smell that permeated the slums where the Church of Care was located.
"You seem happy today," Jiang Junming said with a smile. He needed to get used to the changes in his body, and the light brain's change today was very noticeable, more like a person than a cold, mechanical light brain. The last time the light brain said it had absorbed energy and sensed emotions, it quickly reverted to a cold, mechanical voice. He wondered how long this change would last.
"Is that so? I don't feel it," the light brain said, sounding a bit puzzled. It then said, "With sufficient energy supply, you can now perform self-regulation of your body."
Self-regulation again? Last time, he had no choice, and the light brain directly changed his fast and slow muscle fibers. The range of choices for joint modifications was also limited. What about this time? Would there be any changes?
Jiang Junming slowly clenched his fists, looking at the holographic 3D projection on the wall, deep in thought.
The light spots on the holographic projection's body gradually dimmed, similar to the previous state. The progress bar below, marked with 1, 2, and other notches, quickly flashed from start to finish. After all the notches lit up and then dimmed, the light slowly moved from the beginning of the progress bar and stopped before reaching notch "1."
Jiang Junming, after his perception enhancement, could see clearly that the progress bar had not even reached notch "1," let alone the halfway point.
"Because the high-quality energy obtained this time is of higher quality and in greater quantity, you can now self-regulate two additional joint groups," the light brain said.
After the perception enhancement, he could still self-regulate two additional joint groups. It seemed that the energy obtained in the auditorium was indeed substantial.
Jiang Junming thought to himself. The last time he enhanced his wrist joint group, it greatly benefited his fine control. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to perform the "drilling and drainage" surgery with a long sword, cutting through the skin, fascia, muscle, and temporal bone to perform an almost perfect operation.
So, which joint group should he enhance this time? Jiang Junming watched the light spots on the holographic projection dim, deep in thought.
"Please select the area for level one modification." As the light spots on the holographic projection stabilized, the light brain repeated, "You can choose two joint groups for level one modification."
Jiang Junming carefully examined the holographic projection on the opposite wall, where the metacarpal, finger, elbow, and shoulder joint groups were still flashing. What should he choose?
Whether it was for making potions or performing surgery, the stability and precision of the three joint groups in the hand were crucial. Jiang Junming had already experienced the benefits of enhancing his wrist joint. Without hesitation, he said, "Enhance the metacarpal and finger joint groups."
Having a stable hand capable of precise movements would allow him to do more. With the wrist joint group, a total of 22 joints would be modified, making him stronger. Jiang Junming was looking forward to performing the stable and precise surgeries he had seen his mentor perform during his internship at the hospital. He even thought that if he could perform vascular anastomosis without a microscope, it would be even better.
