96: Chapter 96 Target Numbers
The moment Wang Pingan closed his eyes, the entire world changed within his perception.
His silvery spirit power, which had already materialized like a tide, flowed along the energy screwdriver in his hand, quietly probing into the vast and complex internal structure of the receiving array like formless spirit snakes.
The Eye of Truth and his 500 points of spirit power merged perfectly at this moment.
He no longer needed to look with his naked eyes, nor did he need to touch with his hands.
The operational status of every circuit, every component, and every energy node of the entire massive receiving array was presented in his spiritual sea of consciousness in the clearest, most intuitive, and most comprehensive way.
He was like a system administrator with the highest privileges, having completely taken over this massive and precise "server" at this moment.
"First step, external circuit alignment."
Wang Pingan issued the first command in his heart.
He split off hundreds of strands of spirit power, each finer than a hair.
Under his control, these strands turned into hundreds of the most agile and precise formless hands.
They began an orderly "spring cleaning" within the labyrinthine external circuits.
The "radiation stains" caused by energy leakage were wiped away one by one by them.
The "short-circuit nodes" that were sparking dangerous arcs due to poor contact were recalibrated and aligned by them.
The "energy conduits" that had become fragile due to aging were wrapped and reinforced by them with pure spirit power.
The entire process was smooth, flowing, and full of rhythm and beauty.
If another spirit power master were here to see this scene right now, they would absolutely be so shocked that their jaw would drop.
Hundreds of tasks at once!
And the control of every strand of spirit power was precise down to the nanometer level!
This was no longer just "micro-level control."
This was fucking miraculous!
Only Wang Pingan himself knew that this was nothing but a piece of cake for him.
His 500 points of spirit power granted him massive computing power comparable to a super quantum computer.
Allowing him to easily process thousands of complex commands simultaneously without making any mistakes.
In less than half an hour.
The tens of thousands of complex circuits outside the entire receiving array had been completely sorted out by him.
Those dangerous arcs that were originally flickering constantly had disappeared.
The energy radiation that made one's skin tingle had also weakened by more than 90 percent.
The operation of the entire array became unprecedentedly smooth and stable.
"External part done, next is the main event."
Wang Pingan focused all his attention on the energy core located at the very bottom of the array, which was already on the verge of explosion.
He took a deep breath, condensed his massive spirit power into a single stream, like an indestructible drill, and carefully probed into the "heart" filled with violent energy.
Boom!
Just as he entered, an energy storm more than ten times as violent as the outside rushed fiercely towards his spirit power!
Wang Pingan's spiritual sea of consciousness shook violently!
He felt as if his head had been smashed by a heavy hammer.
"Good grief, it's quite fierce."
Wang Pingan snorted coldly in his heart.
His spirit power, as vast as the ocean, erupted at this moment!
The Star Sea Contemplation Diagram operated at full power!
The vast sea of stars composed of billions of stars in his spiritual sea of consciousness suddenly lit up!
Endless starlight gathered into a silvery celestial river, surging out along his spirit power channel!
Rumble!
Two different types of energy engaged in a silent yet extremely intense confrontation inside that small energy core!
On one side was the cosmic ray energy that had accumulated for decades, filled with destructive and violent aura.
On the other side was Wang Pingan's spirit power, which had been enhanced by the system and fused with the cosmic true meaning of the Star Sea Contemplation Diagram!
At first, that violent energy storm tried to put up a desperate fight, relying on its advantage of "fighting on home turf."
But soon it realized it was wrong.
Wrong beyond measure.
No matter how big the waves it stirred up, no matter how strong the energy it erupted with.
They would all be effortlessly swallowed, suppressed, and annihilated by that "sea of stars."
As one grew and the other waned.
The energy storm that had been raging for decades began to retreat steadily.
Eventually, it was tightly compressed by Wang Pingan's spirit power into the very center of the energy core, turning into a high-density energy ball the size of a fist, constantly flashing with dangerous red light.
"Done."
Wang Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.
Having suppressed this runaway energy, the subsequent "surgery" would be much easier.
He once again split off a strand of spirit power and began to repair those energy crystals that had developed "lattice-like" decay.
This process was a hundred times more complex than repairing the external circuits.
He needed to use his spirit power to simulate an extremely special high-frequency energy shockwave.
Then use this shockwave to "smash" those decayed, turbid lattice structures.
And then reassemble them, restoring them to their most primitive and pure diamond crystal form.
The difficulty of this was no less than having an ordinary person carve a grain of rice with a needle.
And it had to be done in the middle of a Category 12 typhoon.
But for Wang Pingan, who possessed the Eye of Truth and 500 points of spirit power.
This was still not a problem.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Wang Pingan was completely immersed in this extremely delicate work of "micro-carving" that could be called art.
He even forgot the passage of time.
He did not know how much time had passed.
When he successfully restored the last decayed crystal.
Hum—!
The entire energy core suddenly emitted a violent hum!
All the diamond crystals inside it seemed to be re-infused with life at this moment!
They all lit up simultaneously with a brilliant, pure blue light, like the azure sky!
A massive stream of energy filled with vitality surged out from the energy core continuously!
They flowed through the energy circuits that Wang Pingan had already repaired, spreading to every corner of the entire receiving array!
Rumble!
The entire massive dish, which had been silent for a long time, began to slowly rotate again!
Repair... successful!
【Ding!】
【Detected that the host has perfectly repaired a 'super high-tier energy creation', and the 'high-dimensional cosmic ray source' remaining inside has been perfectly suppressed and absorbed by your spirit power.】
【Energy conversion in progress...】
【Conversion complete!】
【Congratulations host, you have obtained 20,000 pay-to-win points!】
Twenty thousand points?!
Wang Pingan's eyes widened instantly.
He just wanted to come and earn an "extra" 8,000 credits, but as a result... he actually picked up another 20,000 pay-to-win points for free?!
A huge sense of ecstasy instantly rushed to his head.
He felt so happy that he was about to faint.
He quickly opened his system panel, wanting to see his current "net worth."
【host: Wang Pingan】
【Realm: Fourth-Rank Martial Artist (Mid-stage, blood qi value 2000/5000)】
【Strength: 200.0】
【speed: 200.0】
【Physique: 200.0】
【spirit: 500.0】
【recovery: 200.0】
【pay-to-win points: 46265】
Forty-six thousand two hundred and sixty-five points!
Looking at this number, Wang Pingan's breathing became a bit rapid.
He forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to calculate rapidly in his mind.
His current goal was to raise the other four attributes, excluding spirit, from 200 points to 499.9 points.
Just 0.1 points away from being a Fifth Rank Martial Artist.
Each attribute needed to be increased by 299.9 points.
For the four attributes, that was a total of 1199.6 points.
According to the ratio of 60 pay-to-win points to increase 1 attribute point for a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist.
In total, he needed...
1199.6 x 60 = 71976 points!
Seventy-one thousand nine hundred and seventy-six points!
