Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 177 The Realm of True Sense
As Zhan Lan listened to Mu Xiang's explanation, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself... Because she had a mind lock, Mu Xiang would often use underhanded tactics on her, and Zhan Lan was usually the first to know the truth.

In fact, there were more considerations behind having Zhan Lan make the exchange this time... Otherwise, splitting up an A-level side quest just for bloodline upgrades would be a huge loss. Zhan Lan did it willingly, but if she were asked to explain, she would probably give herself away.

"Your statement is too deceptive..." Zhan Lan thought to herself.

As Mu Xiang explained Zhan Lan's exchange method, he thought to himself, "How is this a scam? I'm just telling the truth, I just didn't tell you everything."

Zhan Lan smiled helplessly to herself… To be honest, Mu Xiang was much more honest than Chu Xuan. From her experience, Mu Xiang was more like a businessman; he might try to overcharge or be dishonest, but as a partner, he would eventually make up the difference. As for Chu Xuan, he could easily be sold out by him and even help him count the money…

She was the only person besides Mu Xiang who truly saw through Xuan's true colors... Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night with a startled cry:
"No, is Zheng Zha out of his mind? Why would he seem kind?"

Zhan Lan used her mental power to instantly find the best spot. With a flick of her finger, blood essence seeped out from her index finger and was then imprinted on the spirit puppet's forehead.

In fact, the process of a spirit puppet recognizing its master has been greatly simplified by the main god. The spirit puppets originally produced by the Heavenly Serpent Clan are, in essence, created using flesh and blood technology. No matter how well they fit the mental power of the person controlling them, they still need to go through a series of processes before the final step is controlled by the essence of blood.

The spirit puppets created by the main god were replicated and optimized based on Zhan Lan's own body, achieving the optimal solution for flesh-and-blood fitting in one step. In this case, the efficiency and results of using essence and blood as the dominant factor would be much better.

As Zhan Lan's essence blood was imprinted on the spirit puppet's brow, Zhan Lan sensed that her spiritual power and psionic energy were being drawn into the spirit puppet. The information imprinted in her essence blood was being transcribed by the spirit puppet... With the infusion of spiritual power, the spirit puppet's aura changed every second.

Everyone felt that the spirit puppet's aura was becoming more and more like a human's, rather than an inanimate object; but in Zhan Lan's perception, the spirit puppet absorbed her spiritual power, and the enhancement of her spiritual power was not only because of her... it seemed that the spirit puppet itself was also generating spiritual power.

When spiritual power breaks through a certain limit, a faint psionic energy is generated within the spirit puppet. However, this is too late; psionic energy is not ordinary supernatural energy, but rather spiritual energy originating from the mind. If Zhan Lan's supernatural energy were attached to her physical body, the spirit puppet's body would have already been able to replicate the same kind of supernatural energy.

No one had ever witnessed this process before, and they watched with bated breath. Finally, the spirit puppet opened its eyes, then smiled and touched its forehead.

"Damn, the uncanny valley effect is really kicking in," Zhang Heng exclaimed.

The puppet spoke, "Because I'm only controlling her to make movements..." The voice was clearly Zhan Lan's, tinged with a hint of helplessness.

Then, a mental fluctuation flashed by, and the spirit puppet in everyone's eyes changed its appearance, from its face to its body shape, it was exactly the same as Zhan Lan.

“I can also make her look like someone else…” Zhan Lan said to herself, but at the same time, the spirit puppet’s movements immediately stopped.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "The spirit puppet... should be like an extension of yourself to you. But it seems you still need to practice controlling it?"

“This is actually a minor issue…” Zhan Lan touched her forehead. “For me, the spirit puppet is like another part of my body; controlling it independently is no problem. But the current situation is like I originally had two hands, and now I’ve grown another one; using them both at the same time will cause errors…”

Mu Xiang smiled: "You know how to draw a circle with your left hand and a square with your right, right? Similarly, if you want to act at the same time, you have to do this kind of practice." Zhan Lan closed her eyes, and the spirit puppet also showed a confident smile: "Don't underestimate me... With my mental strength, I can master it all in a few days."

As she spoke, she began to try it herself.

Liu Xi silently walked to the bottom of the main god. She had also gotten up early today to check the exchange and finalized the choice with Mu Xiang... Now all she had to do was exchange it.

Her exchange wasn't a progressive one, but rather a one-step... A-level enhancement.

True insight into the world!

Mu Xiang initially thought the exchange would be for a skill like seeing through illusions, but after seeing the God's description, he realized that this was the most suitable exchange for Liu Xi.

The so-called "true perception horizon" refers to what the quantifier sees and can intervene in. The strength of this ability depends on the user's computing power. Whether analyzing or modifying the quantification result of a target, computing power is required. Moreover, the more abstract the target, the greater the difficulty in quantifying it; the larger the quantification result, the greater the difficulty in modifying it.

This is the most logically and closely related to computational ability among the A-level exchanges... Moreover, Liu Xi's advantage lies not only in her far superior computational ability, but also in her numerical intuition. If she were to analyze it, she could estimate the results of other similar terms through a simple quantitative calculation, greatly reducing the computational power required for further analysis.

As the beam of light dissipated, Liu Xi turned to look at everyone... In her eyes, everyone's appearance had changed. But only she could sense this change; although no target had been quantified, they all looked quite different.

It's like... the difference between wearing glasses and not wearing glasses, but it's even more mysterious.

Liu Xi turned her gaze to Mu Xiang and immediately deduced his true height. This number was naturally not an integer, or rather, the number obtained using True Sense Vision was almost certainly not an integer.

However, from Liu Xi's perspective, using Mu Xiang's height as a benchmark, she could immediately estimate the heights of everyone else. She then quantified everyone's height, and this calculation was only slightly more than twice as complex as analyzing Mu Xiang's. This was her advantage.

Mu Xiang naturally knew what she was looking at, smiled, and tossed her a small cube... This was a cubic centimeter of gold exchanged from the Main God. Produced by the Main God, its edge length was naturally an absolutely accurate one centimeter.

Liu Xi stretched out her hand, and under everyone's gaze, her eyes fell on the gold nugget... Then, one of the edges suddenly moved, pulling upwards by a full centimeter.

But strangely, the shape of this gold nugget was completely abnormal. At this moment, apart from the modified edge length becoming two centimeters, the other edges were still one centimeter long. This would be impossible in reality, but it was exactly like that in Liu Xi's hands.

Liu Xi frowned slightly, then the modified edge shrank back to its original length, and the entire gold nugget returned to normal...
