Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 29 Deduction and B-level Enhancement

Mu Xiang fell into deep thought... no, he immediately calculated that his six dimensions had increased by about 190 points in total. At first glance, this enhancement seemed considerable, but in reality, it was pitifully small.

Many enhancement exchanges grant six-dimensional bonuses to the user, a basic fact stated in the novel. However, data on this is limited, and can only be inferred through analogy and combat performance. In fact, Mu Xiang didn't delve deeply into this aspect while reading the book, as the data descriptions in the novel were merely supplementary, and he didn't care about any bugs. However, while lurking on the forum, he saw many discussions on this topic among veteran readers, and one algorithm in particular resonated with him greatly, leaving him utterly astonished upon first seeing it.

Now is the time to put it to the test.

In the novel, Zheng Zha obtained a 988-point six-dimensional enhancement after spending two D-level and two C-level side quests, along with 4000 reward points. Roughly calculated, the additional six-dimensional boost from the reward points after Zheng Zha enhanced his energy and bloodline is about a quarter of the total. In other words, spending 4000 reward points increased his physical attributes by 1000 points. This efficiency is much higher than direct sales.

Later, when Zheng Zha strengthened the B-rank vampire count, he spent a B-rank side quest and 3000 reward points to obtain 990 points in all six stats, which was worth 9900 reward points at retail price. This strengthening ratio was about one-third, meaning that he spent 3000 reward points to increase his physical attributes by 1000.

Assuming that the boost to Zheng Zha from the vampire bloodline is calculated at one-third of the reward points, then going back to the ratio of strengthening D-level and C-level internal energy to the vampire bloodline, we can conclude that the ratio of internal energy strengthening is one-fifth.

[If we don't specify the ratio, and treat one-fifth and one-third as a and b respectively?]

[The first enhancement cost a total of 1700 internal energy points, which, with a coefficient of one-fifth, amounts to 340 points; the vampire cost a total of 2300 points, which, at one-third, is approximately 767 points. Ultimately, he obtained 988 points. Considering the mutual drag from conflicting energies, and the need for self-cultivation and nurturing to improve his physical attributes, this seemingly simple linear equation can be barely approximated.]

Extending this conclusion, we can assume that when exchanging for pure energy cycles, the rate of physical enhancement is about one-fifth; when exchanging for bloodlines with energy cycles, the rate of physical enhancement is about one-third.

In addition, there was another inference in that post, which Mu Xiang basically agreed with... that is, when only exchanging for skills, there is no improvement in physical fitness; when exchanging for bloodlines without energy circulation, the ratio of physical fitness enhancement can reach one.

The most typical example is the werewolf bloodline. Arot, the jackal doctor from the Indian team, enhanced his werewolf bloodline, and his combat power, utilizing his Tier 1 gene lock, was considerable in the early game. His strength and speed were even higher than those of the Tier 2 dual-carry Zheng Zha… Both his combat performance and Zheng Zha's own admission corroborate this.

The werewolf bloodline, lacking energy circulation, instead gained a significant physical amplification. If viewed on a one-to-one basis, even though Arot was merely a C-rank werewolf, he would far surpass Zheng Zha in some stats.

However, there is almost no evidence to support this one-to-one comparison, and there may be opportunities to prove or disprove it later.

And what about the Kryptonian Energy Adaptor that Mu Xiang redeemed himself? As a C-grade exchange, spending 1800 points only resulted in a little over 190 points of enhancement, a ratio almost identical to direct sales. Mu Xiang was speechless. After all, he was about to enhance his B-grade Kryptonian Life Energy Infusion, but the boost from this prerequisite exchange was so disappointing… It was like buying a phone on installment and only receiving a phone case first. Logically, a B-grade Kryptonian Life Energy Infusion shouldn't be bad, but this C-grade prerequisite's boost was just too discouraging.

He could only console himself with a "reasonable deduction"—that the C-level exchange had merely altered his physique, allowing his body to now be infused with Kryptonian life energy without problems. This was the significance of the C-level exchange… and in terms of the six dimensions, it manifested as enhancements resulting from changes in cellular and tissue structures—cellular vitality being the primary factor, while muscle strength and immune system strength saw minor improvements.

[Isn't this basically selling me a B-rank and a C-rank Kryptonian Adaptor for 5800 points? I'd be a god if I only upgraded a C-rank Kryptonian Energy Adaptor.]

"God, exchange for Kryptonian life energy infusion!"

Another beam of yellow light enveloped Mu Xiang, but this time the light was even more dazzling, with countless tiny golden threads shooting towards him from within. This time, Mu Xiang's sensation was completely different. He didn't feel as if a beam of light was enveloping him; instead, it felt as if something was piercing through him. Mu Xiang had never experienced the agony of being slowly sliced ​​to death, but this feeling of every inch of his flesh and every cell being pierced and injected was perhaps no less intense. If it weren't for the protection of the Supreme God, this pain would have caused a normal person to faint instantly.

Mu Xiang was in so much pain that he couldn't concentrate, but he couldn't relax either. All that remained in his mind was the image from *The New Superman*: Kong Kenan being thrown into the Origin Chamber, screaming in agony. Wasn't that the image playing out? Soon, this hazy memory faded, leaving only the screaming in his mind. Upon closer inspection, he could clearly hear his own scream.

However, Mu Xiang didn't actually shout it out; it all happened only in his consciousness. It was as if his true self, named Mu Xiang, was locked within this pillar of light and this changing body, surging wildly through his limbs and bones with the screams, wandering everywhere.

Only when every inch of his flesh was filled with that infused energy did the disorder in his consciousness cease. Finally, his consciousness reconnected with his modified body, and the previous pain seemed like an illusion, leaving no trace of injury.

Mu Xiang opened his eyes and found himself still suspended high in the air, with countless golden rays of light piercing him from the beam of light projected by the giant sphere. He was slightly taken aback. Had the enhancement not been completed yet? How could he still look directly at such blinding light?
The next second he got his answer… The already blinding light continued to expand, filling his entire field of vision. Mu Xiang then realized that it wasn't the main god, or the pillar or threads of light, that were brightening; on the contrary, it was coming from within himself. If anyone were there, they would have seen extremely bright light bursting from Mu Xiang's eyes. These two beams of light were trapped within the pillar, silently colliding with it, scattering countless golden threads, which then merged with the threads of light projected by the main god, piercing into Mu Xiang's body. But Mu Xiang could no longer feel pain; it was as if he himself had become a source of light suspended high in the sky, no longer perceiving anything else.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Xiang finally awoke from this state. Before his eyes, the pillar of light projected by the Supreme God finally dissipated, and he was still suspended in the air.

"It seems quite different from before," Mu Xiang muttered to himself, before plummeting straight down from a height of nearly ten meters.
