Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 573 I’m fucking restarting!
Reopening, a very bold idea.

Li Yan had indeed never thought of this possibility.

I finally got the system fully loaded, why would I want to restart it?
And even though it’s called a “system”, you can’t really think of it as a computer system…

But no matter what, "restart" is indeed an operational blind spot.

Li Yan must think about this issue carefully.

This was suggested by Wei Yunzhi, who is a noble person.

"Yan, do you also find it inspiring?" Wei Yunzhi was surprised by Li Yan's reaction. "Could it be that your mysterious power can... uh, shut down and restart?"

It turns out that "divine power"

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the word "system", Li Yan shook his head repeatedly.

"No, I just think that the idea of ​​retracing the path we came from is quite interesting." Li Yan said.

Li Yan's "all-round point-adding" system was also something he explored along the way. All the rules and special effects were summarized through his trial and error.

Li Yan was not sure whether there were any omissions in this process.

Perhaps there is indeed a situation as Wei Yunzhi said, where if you miss a certain entry, you will never be able to improve it again.

Some skills were once "sealed" by Li Yan.

For example, he thought that raising "morality" and "filial piety" too high would become a limitation, for example, the pair of small skills he packed into "life skills", for example, the merged "body speed" and "finger strength", for example, the downgraded "oral"...

Also, there is the "metabolic capacity" that was terminated as early as Chapter 48.

It’s hard to say other things, but Li Yan is really curious about what will happen if the metabolic capacity is increased to 100%.

At first, he was worried that adding too many points to this skill would lead to a condition similar to hyperthyroidism, so he only used it as a skill to improve the body's output efficiency and recovery ability. It was eventually merged into "Physical Health" and he took a steady approach to protection.

But now he knows that "physical health" has a very high priority, and if a conflict really arises, his health must be the priority.

In other words, it is impossible for the body to have problems due to excessive metabolism.

As for the performance of the latter system, what it can do is by no means a simple "enhancement". At least the end point of "metabolism" will not be to turn into a steam-powered man breathing gas.

So, what should be the end point of “metabolism”?
These thoughts actually only took a moment to flash through Li Yan's mind.

So he asked the system a question very decisively:
[Can the system be restarted?]

【Can】

A loud thunder that split the sky and earth!
No matter how much she expected it, Li Yan still stood there in shock when the answer came out.

The system hasn't responded for who knows how long!

The word "yes" actually gave Li Yan a sense of hope.

"What's wrong, Yan?" Wei Yun looked at Li Yan with confusion.

No way, you caught my moment of shock? Even my full intelligence couldn't suppress my performance?

"Uh..." Li Yan hesitated for a while, "If, I mean if, Yunzhi, the game can really be restarted, what do you think...?"

It was a bit of a nonsensical question. Indeed, in the last moment, Li Yan analyzed too many things, which made his mind unclear.

"See if I want to kill the boss in one move." The girl's answer was simple and straightforward.

Li Yan blinked.

"After all, I have completed the game, upgraded all the levels, and the monsters are vulnerable. Maybe... from the perspective of the game designer, I have already achieved perfection. If I am satisfied with this, there is no need to upgrade again. If you are interested, just enjoy the pleasure of killing monsters in seconds."

"Killing the boss instantly with one move is not a requirement of the game, it's just what you want to do." Li Yan said.

The girl nodded. "Yes, that's what I want to do. So, if I really want to do it, I will naturally have the motivation to reopen it. But..."

"Ok?"

"Be prepared to lose everything you have now," Wei Yunzhi said, his eyes surprisingly firm. "Restarting a game means starting from scratch, without any equipment or skills, and walking the same path all over again."

"We will get it back, and it will be better."

"But at least in the early stages of reopening, you are no longer the omnipotent you."

Li Yan's heart moved. Wei Yunzhi was indeed very smart.

He had just asked the system thousands of questions in his mind, but unfortunately he got no answers.

The system refuses to ask questions in an exhaustive manner, and will not answer incorrect questions. It is destined to not answer any questions other than the ones you ask right after you become enlightened.

So Li Yan really didn’t know what restarting the system meant.

The only thing that is clear is that restarting means the data is reset to zero.

The data is reset to zero... There are two possibilities.

One is a complete reset of the status. All the abilities of Li Yan that were enhanced by the system were reset back to the time before the system was acquired, including his strengthened body, which became so emaciated that he was frail.

The other is an incomplete reset. All the knowledge in Li Yan's brain is cleared, but the enhanced physical and mental strength that has become a fait accompli can still be retained.

If it's the former, then it's just a fart.

If it is the latter, then this is the real road to heaven.

Just like Li Yan wanted to try the feeling of starting from scratch, to start a company from scratch under an assumed name, and the difference between that and actually going completely bankrupt and starting a company without a penny.

With so many assets in hand, the so-called starting from scratch is all false. A winner's mentality can often better seize the moment of victory and strive for the upper limit.

What Li Yan wants now is to reach the upper limit.

Starting from scratch means that if Li Yan were to go through it again, he would most likely end up in the same situation as he is today. At best, he would retain some special skills such as "metabolic ability" and continue to improve them to the top.

But if even the physical state can be reset, how can we be confident that system-related memories will not be reset?

Then he would probably just go through it all over again.

When his abilities are weak by then, if something unexpected happens and he can't handle it himself, then he's doomed.

Even, all the memories after the system were reset?
stop!
Li Yan took the initiative to stop his racing thoughts.

Because he still has two things to rely on. First, the system will not cheat him, which is the basis of trust. Second, the "Seeking the Path" skill has not issued a warning so far.

This shows that it is the right approach to consider the possibility of restarting.

So, if we restart, what would be the most reasonable scenario?

From the logic of the "Seeking the Way" skill, if Li Yan wants to do something to achieve a certain goal of his, as long as the thing does have positive feedback on achieving the goal, Seeking the Way will not issue an early warning.

This means that restarting the system will help Li Yan break through the limit.

So the first scenario of a complete reset is unlikely to happen.

In Li Yan's storm of questions to the system just now, there is one very important question:
[Restarting will reset some of my values ​​to zero, right? ]

【Yes】

Combined with another extremely valuable question:

[Will the system characteristics be retained after restart? ]

【Yes】

Li Yan can basically draw the conclusion:

Restarting the system will not change what has changed "physically", but it will change what has been added "conceptually".

In other words, the abilities that rely on the system itself will be reset to zero; the reality that is changed by the system will not disappear. For example, Li Yan's abnormal physical values ​​will not change, and his exaggerated concentration, comprehension, memory, and calculation ability based on his physiology will not change either. However, the conceptual ability of "speed" will inevitably disappear, and all kinds of awesome first-level skills will definitely have to find an opportunity to restart. Even a group of abilities that are improved by "memory" - almost including all subject skills and a large number of fourth-level skills - may be blown away by the wind.

Here lies the problem. Is Li Yan’s “memory” considered a physiological change?
What exactly is stored memory?
Is it a physiological change?

With the current depth of research, it is basically impossible to give definite answers to most of the questions raised by ordinary people about brain function and cognition.

And even if it was true, Li Yan didn't know whether his subject skills were later improved to such a high level by relying on some special bonus from the system, or whether the system really stuffed "knowledge" - essentially a kind of memory - into his brain, causing substantial physiological changes?
It’s hard to say, so we can only be prepared to lose these things.

After all, no matter what, if even these will not be reset, the so-called system reset is just a joke.

Li Yan is already very satisfied that he can maintain a strong body and brain power to learn from scratch.

Wait, retain the body and brain power that exceed the limit of human beings, and start again...

Know this world?!
Li Yan felt her breathing suddenly become heavier.

If this year's exploration and thinking have been wandering in the quagmire, then this thought just now is the strong light shining from the cave entrance.

Li Yan’s thinking state is actually a bit scary. His brain is too focused, which makes him look particularly dull in reality.

Wei Yunzhi didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

"Yunzhi, if you open a new account, you can get a max-level account with all attributes maxed out, but all the equipment and skills are removed. Do you think it will be different if you play it again?"

The question was asked so suddenly that the little beauty was actually frightened.

Oh, it's so shaky.

Can't be distracted! This damn powerful observation! This damn dynamic vision that captures every detail!
"It's definitely different, at least the efficiency will be much higher." Wei Yunzhi said, "And... maybe my mentality in the early stage is also different? My whole set of ideas for improvement and skill assembly may be different."

As soon as she finished speaking, she reacted, "Hey, Yan! Do you have any idea?!"

"Yes, there is..." Li Yan shook her head, "but there is still a lot of... information missing."

For example, whether memories can be retained.

It’s still the same question, what exactly is memory?
It would be troublesome if the memory not related to the system was also lost.

Li Yan doesn't want to experience the scene of "Who is this beautiful woman in front of me?"

He asked the system: [Will the memory be reset?]

As a result, the system cannot answer.

Li Yan tentatively believes that some memories will be retained but some will also be erased.

The most reasonable guess is to clear system-related memory.

But his life is highly integrated with the system, and it is hard to imagine what it would be like to clear the system memory alone.

However, considering that after rebirth, you can still lock the memory and gradually unlock it, it seems reasonable to gradually unlock the system-related memory.

After all, everything is speculation now, even the most critical question - whether restarting is useful, the answer is also speculation.

Li Yan's decision is destined to carry huge risks.

But he believes in the power of logic and that the most basic principle of the system is "not to cheat the host."

Moreover, now that he has obtained almost everything, Li Yan has nothing to worry about or be greedy for.

The system will not disappear after restarting. The worst result is that you will have to spend some time to practice again.

Looking at Li Yan's increasingly determined eyes, Wei Yunzhi also knew his choice.

The moment Li Yan made up his mind, the look he gave Wei Yunzhi was more gentle than ever before.

The valuable thing about this "noble man" is not only that he gave many key hints by accident, but also that he can bear Li Yan's huge secret.

After the restart, Li Yan will have a period of "seclusion" no matter what. If he is alone, or no one around him knows his secret, he will have too many worries.

"If I really lose my current abilities," Li Yan looked at Wei Yunzhi and said, "In the worst case, I might become a useless person. Then I can only count on you."

"That's a must!" the girl said confidently.

"You may not only face pressure from me, but also pressure from the outside world due to my 'temporary disappearance'. You have to keep secrets, explain yourself, and temporarily serve as my spokesperson..."

"That's fine with me. We just need to prepare, uh, a contingency plan first."

Li Yan smiled and hugged her tightly in his arms.

In the following month, Li Yan made a lot of advance arrangements for "invisibility" and held many intensive meetings with the senior management of Future Technology. He discussed and arranged many situations that might be faced in the future and the future work goals of various lines of the company, which made Sun Miao nervous. At the same time, he also communicated with various official bigwigs, using the reason that "my current personal level is difficult to improve and I need to concentrate on research" in exchange for temporary non-disturbing.

However, he only handed over the right to use the anti-missile system. There would be no need for upgrading or maintenance of the system within a year, and Li Yan was still very confident about this.

It’s not a frequently used thing anyway…it has already served its intended purpose.

He also told people close to him to "concentrate on studying", including Li Yan's parents. These people didn't have any opinion on this. They all agreed with such a politically correct request and said they dared not disturb him.

When Li Yan couldn't think of anything else to arrange in advance, and when he couldn't get a clear answer no matter how many times he asked the system, he finally prepared to do the most risky thing so far.

On September 2019, 9, the eve of National Day, Li Yan sat on the bed in Huajiang No. 30 with the camera turned on, and next to her was Wei Yunzhi, who looked nervous.

He smiled at Wei Yunzhi, and then made a very handsome expression to the camera, "Don't worry, I believe my judgment is correct."

"Yan!" the girl shouted anxiously.

"what happened?"

"I love you!"

"I love you, too." Li Yan spread her hands. "Don't act like we're breaking up. The biggest risk is that I become a loser."

【Restart】

【Sure? 】

Oh, there’s also an anti-talking mechanism.

【Sure】

Just as Li Yan expected, at the moment when the system started to restart, "Xundao" was still there at the last moment and did not issue any warning.

Bet right.

The restart only took a moment, and Wei Yunzhi didn't even know that Li Yan had completed the restart.

If she knew everything, she would be very happy now.

Because Li Yan's body shape has not changed at all, it means that at least the system "will not reset the physical reality that has already changed."

Li Yan opened her eyes.

His eyes seem exceptionally clear.

"Zhizhi, come here and give me a hug." Li Yan even stretched out her hands.

……Um?

Wei Yunzhi was stunned, walked over with a confused look on his face and hugged Li Yan.

Li Yan suddenly reached out and pinched her butt.

"Good bounce, hehe."

...Hmm?
