章節 9: Level-3 Cells of the Eyeball (Modified)
編輯: Henyee Translations
[Name: Luo Fan]
[Intellect Level: Ordinary human]
[Physical mass: 32.2 grams]
[Form structure: Eyeball (Mainframe that carries consciousness), intestines (absorb matter and convert matter), octopus limbs (locomotion), energy storage tumors (store matter, store energy).]
[Form distribution:…]
After he had filled up the energy storage cells, he gained a few more grams in mass.
Now, the structure of Luo Fan's body had become more enriched.
Next, he prepared to make organs that could transport supplies.
In the days to come, after leaving the belly of this fish, he would most likely take the path of a predator.
If Luo Fan could not find food, he would have to personally hunt for prey.
In order to prevent the situation where he had no means to attack when that happened, he had to start to create them from now on.
Luo Fan thought for a moment, "The cells I can divide now are limited. Most of them are the mammalian cells. And the most aggressive part in the body of mammals would be the bones. Like teeth, claws… I can make my organs of aggression from these things."
After thinking for a while, Luo Fan decided on the organs he would create.
He wanted to create bone spikes, the kind that could be used for attack.
"My entire body is very weak, so currently I can only create some bone spikes for use. And, the bone spikes will not be too big, so…"
In the end, Luo Fan chose a part of the body. He would create three tails at that part of the eight intestines, three tails with powerful motor functions.
And then, he would grow bone spikes at the end of the tails.
As he thought of this, Luo Fan already had a prototype in his mind.
Hence, he gathered energy and matter toward that part of his body.
"After creating the organs of aggression, I'll also need to expand my body. My existing body is too weak now. Even if all my cells are at level-2, I can't defeat those powerful creatures."
After Luo Fan had finished planning, he began to busy himself again, increasing the value of his cells and evolving.
In the past few days, the black fish had gradually adapted to the hunger in its stomach.
After a few days of fasting, his stomach slowly stopped sending hunger signals to the black fish.
The black fish had less appetite, and Luo Fan was getting less and less supplies day by day.
Three days later.
[Spiked Tails]
[Introduction: Composed of bone cells and muscle cells. A powerful means of attack.]
[Cell Level: 2]
[Mass: 5 grams]
[Function: Hard, Sharp]
There were three spiked tails on Luo Fan's body.
Luo Fan looked at his bone spikes and sighed.
While they were powerful, this was only relative.
These spiked tails would be very powerful in a face-off with grasshoppers or ants.
But for mice or small fishes, they would not be that strong.
This was because the spiked tails were really too small. The bone spikes were only as thick as a needle, and the entire spiked tail was not even as big as a scorpion's tail.
"But it's good that they have been created. The next step is to divide the cells and expand the body."
Luo Fan's target was very clear. He wanted to make himself strong enough to survive, so that he could raise the level of his life in this natural world, so that he could stop being the prey all the time. He wanted to sit at the top of the food chain.
"However, the food has been getting less and less lately. Is this fish going on strike and not eating anymore? Or has it starved to death because of my absorption?"
"That's not right. It has not starved to death. I'm still in constant motion."
Even in the fish's stomach, Luo Fan could sense he was moving.
The main thing was that he would be heavy at one moment and weightless at the next. It was not difficult to determine that the fish was swimming rapidly in the river.
"The fish didn't die, it's just not feeding. Sigh! Regardless of the reason, in my current condition, there's no way to investigate, and there's also no need for me to investigate."
Luo Fan, who was fully armed and prepared in every way, could leave the fish's stomach at any time and enter the natural world.
"Since there's no supply of fish and shrimps, I'll absorb you. Who asked you to eat me in the first place?"
Luo Fan had found a very good excuse for himself, which was revenge.
Actually, he just wanted to absorb this fish. To Luo Fan, this fish was also energy that could be absorbed, and it was also sufficient to strengthen him.
Luo Fan was merciless. After absorbing all the food in the stomach, he controlled the few intestines and explored the surroundings.
The eight intestines groped around in the space.
Soon, one of the intestines found the stomach wall.
Then, that needle-like mouthpiece inserted into the stomach wall.
The mouthpiece which was composed of level-2 cells easily pierced into the stomach wall of level-1 cells.
"Start absorbing!"
After the intestine had pierced in, Luo Fan issued an order to absorb.
At this moment, the other few intestines had also found their positions and started to absorb.
"I'll expand the cells of the eyeball first. This time, I'll let the cells divide from inside the eyeball and use the evolved cells to wrap the cells that have not evolved. This way, the stomach acid won't be able to harm the unevolved cells, and this will also save a lot of energy."
This was what Luo Fan intended to do, and he acted upon it.
He channeled the energy that the intestines had just absorbed to the center of the eyeball.
"After expanding the eyeball a little, I can continue to expand the intestines. After all, the absorption and conversion of the intestines are fundamental. Also…"
Just as Luo Fan was thinking, he suddenly received a message.
[Bio-energy detected. Do you wish to absorb?]
"Eh?"
Luo Fan was stunned for a moment, and then he rejoiced.
"Isn't this the bio-energy needed to evolve a level-3 cell? How did I encounter it here? Could it be that… this big fish that ingested me is a mutated creature?
"That should be the case. This is a mutated fish and there is bio-energy in its body."
Luo Fan was overjoyed for a moment. He then nodded to agree to the absorption.
How could he not absorb the bio-energy that had delivered itself to him? He must absorb it.
[Absorbing bio-energy, absorbed 0.003 milligrams…]
[Absorbing bio-energy, absorbed 0.001 milligrams…]
…..
There were messages being continuously fed to Luo Fan's intelligence, prompting him on the progress of the bio-energy absorption.
However, these kinds of notifications in his subconscious were running prompts in the background.
Luo Fan had to take the initiative to look at them to sense these kinds of prompts.
Hence, they did not affect Luo Fan's normal thinking.
"Hmm… now that I have bio-energy, I should try to evolve a few cells."
Then, Luo Fan let the energy in his body and the newly absorbed bio-energy be channeled to some of the cells in the eyeball.
The cells began to evolve…
The time required for the evolution this time was longer than the time required to advance from level-1 to level-2. It took a full half an hour before the evolution was completed.
[Level-3 Eyeball Cells]
[Function: Carry consciousness, strengthen consciousness, transmit and receive information, generate heat.]
Carrying consciousness was the passive ability of the eyeball cells, and Luo Fan's intelligence was carried on the eyeball.
Strengthening consciousness was a secondary function. Under the action of the level-3 cells of the eyeball, Luo Fan's intelligence would slowly be strengthened.
Transmitting information meant he could transmit the information from his mind, and receiving information meant he could receive information from other living things.
Generating heat, on the other hand, was an ability obtained after fusion with bio-energy. It could raise the temperature on the surface of cells to fifty or sixty degrees.
"Bio-energy is really good stuff!"
Luo Fan sighed. He could clearly feel the power of the evolved cells.
Therefore, he quickly absorbed again.
