Fatal Shot

Chapter 392: Reality, Hidden Data

Star Federation 17th Administrative Planet, noon.

“Ugh...”

Feng Luo opened his eyes from within the silver-white modern game capsule and frowned, scanning across the area above the game capsule.

“What happened? Wasn’t I in Silvermoon City? Why did I log out of the game? Also, the time doesn’t seem right?”

The rotation period of the 17th Administrative Planet was quite similar to Earth, as it also used a 24-hour calculation method.

The in-game time had a slight deviation when compared to real-world time. If it were within the game, it should have been around eight in the morning at that moment, since the time the biohazard crisis event started was around eight in the evening the day before.

Feng Luo had a slightly serious expression as his incredibly active mind started to recall last night’s memory.

“When we started the operation last night from Silvermoon City, I used the authorization chip to operate the six-barreled electromagnetic railgun to stop the advances of the zombie horde. I was infected by the mutated Evolution Virus, so I was feeling very dizzy... When everyone successfully retreated, I seemed to have received some sort of notification. Then, I entered a dreamlike trance... Everything turned blank, as if I had fallen asleep.” Feng Luo’s brows knitted tightly together, recalling when he had experienced something similar before.

After being infected by the Evolution Virus for the first time on Silver Leaf Island, he fell asleep for two hours, and even dreamed about returning to Earth.

At the time, he did not think much about it and figured it was probably the game system’s simulation device stimulating his nervous system after he was infected by the Evolution Virus, and it was because his brain was too sensitive that these problems appeared; he remembered someone mentioning something like that before on the forum.

Additionally, when he went to the gym in Nightless Entertainment City and used the most technologically advanced medical device to check himself, he did not detect any anomalies, leading him to stop paying attention to it.

Now it had happened again for a second time, due to him being infected by the Evolution Virus in-game.

“Could it be that, similar to the first time, my sensitive brain received strong stimulation?”

Feng Luo looked confused, having some suspicions in his mind.

Theoretically speaking, a program that stimulated players’ brains, which caused negative effects would have produced logs in the main computer of War, and the issue would be resolved never to happen again.

With the technological capabilities of War, it shouldn’t fail to do something as simple as this.

“Then, this situation is definitely abnormal...”

Truth be told, Feng Luo definitely placed more emphasis on War than other players.

The game had all kinds of weapons and cultures that came from Earth. They even had immersive experiences that surpassed the technology of the Star Federation. War was not a simple virtual game.

When it came to Feng Luo’s worries, they weren’t so serious. War is promoted by the Star Federation to every citizen, even if there were unique things about the game, it should not threaten the lives or health of the player.

“I can even say that, after the stimulation from the Evolution Virus the last time, my mind has become more active and agile. Even my memory and calculation ability have increased a lot.”

Feng Luo was in deep thought. With regards to “increasing his mind’s activity” or “mind’s processing speed,” he had already confirmed it.

Although he was a Sniper prior to entering the parallel world; his marksmanship, accuracy, and calculation skills were all top-notch, but they were still in a regular range.

Not including the nation’s military that had all sorts of hidden experts, even the international mercenary industry he was in, Feng Luo knew of three to four others who were at the same level as he was.

However, after entering the game, due to continuous training and kills, his sniping skills had improved quite significantly, and he made several breakthroughs throughout. That was how he was able to achieve the results of “taking out two birds with one shot” achievement during the duel between Black Panther on the rocking boat during the Silver Leaf Island mission. Even then, those were still considered achievable by a normal human.

During the Silver Leaf Island mission, he fell into a deep slumber after being infected by the Primary Evolution Virus. After he woke up, he noticed that his mind processing speed had become considerably faster, and his calculation and memory abilities had also become incredibly amazing. His arm muscles, finger’s dexterity, and vision had also improved; all beneficial abilities for Snipers.

In one short month, he felt his marksmanship improve again. In some sense, he had even reached a “superhuman” level in the game.

His body had gone through some changes in reality, though not as crazy as inside the game.

Apart from his increased brain activity, he had also conducted an experiment inside the gym of the Nightless Entertainment City a few days earlier. His punching strength had reached a “1,200 standard impact” level. For reference, this was the highest point that the best boxers in the world who had taken illegal drugs could reach.

“Is this sort of sleep a good thing?” Feng Luo shook his head and asked himself with a frown.

His eyes inadvertently darted to focus on the transparent floating screen displaying and recording his physical stats while inside the game capsule.

“Oh, I almost forgot, War’s game capsules have incredibly detailed medical detection capabilities and treatment functions. It should be connected to the main supercomputer of the 17th Administrative Planet as well as the branch medical computer; to avoid dangerous situations from culminating when players are playing the game. I only need to check the data the game capsule recorded to understand my body’s current condition. As long as I check the historical data, I’ll also know my condition when I was asleep.” Feng Luo suddenly thought and quickly opened up the game capsule’s intelligent program to check his data for the past few days.

[Heart Rate Peak: 1,030/min. Reference Value: 30 – 200.]

[Brain Activity Rate: 29. Reference Value: 1 – 10.]

[Muscle Cell Metabolism Index: 31. Reference Value 1 – 10.]

[Static Energy Consumption...]

...

Abnormal data, and these weren’t ordinary abnormalities. Feng Luo was dumbfounded as he looked at the data.

At least two-thirds of the data were “in excess,” which wasn’t just a few times over. Specifically, his heart rate when he was asleep had reached over a thousand per minute. This was definitely not normal.

“That’s not right; all these super abnormal physical data have been recorded. Did the game capsule not notify the medical supercomputer?”

Based on normal procedures, when his heart rate reached an abnormal level the night before the game capsule should have already sent the medical supercomputer a report. He should have woken up to a medical capsule for severe medical emergencies.

“What’s going on?”

Could it be that his game capsule was broken?!

“Beep!”

[Assessing authorization based on your body’s situation... You have received level one Hidden Data Query Authorization.]

At that moment, a female voice came from the game capsule, and a bunch of data that Feng Luo had never seen before started to appear.

[Seventh Brain Domain Development Rate – 0.95%]

[Known Hidden Gene Fragment Unlock Rate – 0.224%]

...

[S-1 Fragment Hidden Gene Unlock Completed – 100%]

[N-5 Fragment Hidden Gene Unlock in progress – 12%]

...

[Your body is currently normal. No need to worry.]

[Note: Hidden data can only be queried by the affected person. No other organizations (including Federation Government, Star Gaming) or persons (Including the Federation President) can obtain the information.]
