Wasteland Development Diary

After another fight with the mirror image, Zhou Yi calmed his breathing slightly.

It was already the third day.

He still hadn't been able to complete the synchronization.

When the two touched, the mirror image wouldn't remain quiet like other normal life forms, but would instead punch and kick the original body at the fastest speed.

It was impossible to synchronize consciousness in a combat state.

The mirror image shared his habits and would never wait for the opponent to transform or switch skills… In that sense, it was also the most troublesome enemy he had encountered.

After repeated failures, Zhou Yi made a change, learning from the experience provided by Wu Yi.

The Bone Man's docking method was imitation.

"The mirror image is an imitation of us, and we need to imitate it a second time. As long as this imitation tends to be synchronized, like looking in a mirror, both sides will be in a stable state."

"Next is the most difficult consciousness docking. Although the difficulty has been reduced a lot inside the alien body, you still have to learn to radiate your consciousness from the inside out, creating entanglement and docking with the mirror image. Dazing is a good way to practice."

"The key is to complete all these steps within an hour, which requires persistent practice over the years. Don't be discouraged by the initial setbacks…"

Zhou Yi began to imitate the mirror image.

Initially, he subconsciously predicted the opponent's movements, often being a step behind or misjudging, and then struggling to adjust and correct…

He later realized that he didn't need to do this at all. He needed to let his brain think less and act purely according to his body's subconscious reactions.

If he was strong, the mirror image would be strong.

If he didn't use his brain and relied purely on instinct, the mirror image would do the same.

The body and the mirror image gradually synchronized.

The mirror image on the opposite side seemed to have truly become a person in the mirror, moving in sync with him, and the two achieved a subtle connection.

Then, Zhou Yi found that his consciousness was synchronized with the mirror image.

He closed his eyes and entered the double helix structure of the memory core.

The mirror image also slowly emerged from the white consciousness key.

The two started fighting again.

The fight became more and more intense, but he was helpless against another energy state of himself.

Zhou Yi decided to take a break.

He would switch people for the second half.

Machine No. 2, Xiaofu, was summoned by him to continue fighting the mirror image.

Fortunately, the Reverser was no longer what it used to be, possessing the Black Soul combat species, and beat the mirror image back steadily.

Xiaofu couldn't help but turn around and ask, "What are you doing? Creating an energy state to practice fighting yourself?"

"It's for breaking the species."

Zhou Yi explained it to him.

"So it's to break through the existing species rank of the Fire Seed… This method is too backward and primitive."

Xiaofu said, "There's no need to do this at all. If you want to further advance the Fire Seed, violent breakthroughs are very dangerous and can easily cause irreversible local damage or hidden dangers."

"Entering the embryonic stage of the species rank just requires enough energy and elements, it's very simple…"

"I almost forgot!"

The Reverser suddenly realized, "This world lacks 'Xinqiu,' no wonder it's so troublesome."

Zhou Yi was puzzled, "Xinqiu, a kind of mountain?"

Xiaofu said, "Xinqiu is a polymer of highly concentrated information and matter. You call the Huanliu here the Dead Sea, so Xinqiu should be a precious mine in the Dead Sea."

"Its appearance is irregular, some are like mountains, some are like clouds, some are like islands and caves… They are energy states formed by the recombination and solidification of a large amount of information, and the main component is various incomplete consciousness keys in the Huanliu."

"But it's very strange, I haven't found any Xinqiu in this world."

"Logically speaking, a world with a Huanliu outbreak must have Xinqiu. Even if the form, composition, and content of Xinqiu vary, there shouldn't be no trace at all, as if it disappeared… I always feel that something is wrong with this world."

The Reverser sighed, "The evolution of life in this world is slow, and most are in the species rank. That's probably the reason."

Xinqiu.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of the immortal mountains and paradises in myths and legends.

He asked again, "Species rank, does that refer to combat species?"

"According to the definition of this world, you can say that."

Xiaofu replied, "As long as you haven't entered the embryonic stage, you are collectively called the species rank."

"The embryonic stage is a completely different stage of life, which will produce a qualitative change, but it also requires more things, otherwise, further evolution cannot be achieved."

Zhou Yi understood after careful inquiry.

A-level life is in the embryonic stage.

B-level and below are all in the species rank.

Earth life in the wasteland era is difficult to break through the species rank because of the lack of Xinqiu.

What Xiaofu originally thought was easy also became difficult.

"It may be difficult for other life forms, but it's okay for you because your body is strong enough to withstand extremely high-intensity impacts."

The Reverser said, "The method you are taking is essentially to use violence to break open the limitations of the species rank structure. Then just grab this energy body and integrate it into the body for continuous tempering."

It explained the method.

Zhou Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the mirror image standing opposite him.

He grabbed at the other party—the other party also grabbed at him.

The moment of contact, the two became one.

Zhou Yi's whole body was banging and clanging, as if countless little people were hammering and pounding inside his body.

His head was buzzing, as if he was in a super construction site.

The optimized fully automatic species splitting began.

Fifth day.

Zhou Yi, sitting on the stone platform, slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

His whole body was densely sore and tired, but there was also a strange sense of comfort.

At this time, the panel suddenly changed.

【Combat】 has become 【Combat Restructuring☆☆☆☆】, the upper limit has increased by one star, and other values ​​have not changed.

In terms of abilities, the descriptions of 【Stretching】 and 【Alertness】 are still as usual.

It seems that these two abilities have only increased in strength and are not enough to produce a qualitative change.

……

When they met again, Bone Man was taken aback: "Your species splitting is already completed?"

Zhou Yi clasped his fists: "Thank you for your guidance."

"It seems that this is the difference in talent…"

Bone Man murmured: "It took me seven or eight years to complete this step."

Zhou Yi felt that Wu Yi was already very exaggerated. The Bone Man, who was not known for his body strength, was able to find another way to level up in prison and become an A-level life.

"Now that you have reached this point, I will give you another suggestion."

Bone Man said solemnly: "The key to restructuring combat species is 'elements'. It is best to choose items that you are familiar with and unique to you. This can maintain a high degree of compatibility between the growth of the combat species and you, and the ability is not easily cracked by the outside world."

"I was groping on my own at the beginning and made mistakes in my choice. Later, I suffered setbacks everywhere and suffered enough in the outer sea. I couldn't beat anyone… In the end, I had to come back here again."

Zhou Yi humbly learned from the lessons of his predecessors: "Understood, I will be careful."

Wu Yi reminded: "Remember my Rolex."

"I remember."

In the following time, Zhou Yi and Wu Yi mainly talked about the watch. He also told the other party why there were so many fake Rolexes, which made the skeleton man scold the prehistoric humans of the God Dynasty era as hateful.

More than ten days passed quickly.

At a gate of Meizhou Prison.

In the white light, Zhou Yi walked out of it.

There were two camps not far away, and several enhanced humans immediately turned their eyes to him.

Red Falcon swooped down beside Zhou Yi: "It's good that you're okay."

"Um."

Zhou Yi looked back.

Behind the tall and closed iron gate, Meizhou Prison was as quiet as a mountain.

He turned his face and hurried to Emerald City.
